TERMINATION

     SECTION IV. Employment At-Will. This is an at-will employment agreement.
Either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without cause. Executive
understands and agrees that no Company policy or procedure, nor anything in the employee handbook,
nor length of service, nor outstanding job performance, nor any oral statement by anyone employed
by Company can change either party’s right to terminate the employment relationship at anytime and
for any reason. No manager, supervisor, employee or consultant of Company has any authority to bind
Company to any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement
other than at-will. Only Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to make such an agreement,
and then only in writing.

     SECTION IV. 2 Termination for Death or Disability. This Agreement and Executive’s
employment hereunder shall terminate automatically upon (1) Executive’s death or (2) the date of
determination by the Board that Executive has a disability. As used herein, “disability” shall mean
any condition that qualifies as a disability under Company’s long-term disability plan as in effect
on the date of determination or which renders Executive incapable of performing substantially all
of Executive’s managerial and Executive services hereunder for ninety (90) days or more in the
aggregate during any one (1) year period, and which at any time after such ninety (90) days the
Board shall determine continues to render Executive incapable of performing Executive’s managerial
and Executive services hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated because of Executive’s death or
disability pursuant to this Section, Company shall have no further obligation or liability to
Executive.

     SECTION IV. 3 No Additional Payments. Upon termination of Executive’s employment
hereunder, Executive shall not be entitled to any severance payments or severance benefits from
Company or any payments by Company on account of any claim for wrongful termination, including but
not limited to claims under any federal, state or local human and civil rights or labor

-3-

 

laws,
except for any benefits which may be due to Executive in the normal course under any Executive
benefit plan or program of Company which provides for benefits after termination of employment except for the Severance Payment as listed in Section I above. Executive’s right
to receive payments or benefits under this Agreement upon termination of employment will cease if
Executive breaches any provision of Section V below.

V.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

     SECTION V.1 Confidential and Proprietary Information. As an Executive of Company,
Executive shall have access to certain Confidential and Proprietary Information (as defined below)
concerning Company and its Affiliates (as defined below). Executive agrees that he will not,
either directly or indirectly, disclose to any person or use any of the Confidential and
Proprietary Information in any way during the Employment Term (except as required in the course of
the performance of his duties to Company) or after the expiration of the Employment Term.

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential and Proprietary Information” means any of the
following information relating to the business of Company that is not generally known to

at the time of determination, been used by Company; (ii) any information related to the development
of products and production processes; (iii) any information concerning proposed new processes; (iv)
any information concerning customer lists and other customer information, vendor lists and
information, price data, cost data, profit plans, capital plans and proposed or existing marketing

other relevant State.

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means any corporation, company,
partnership, joint venture, firm and/or other entity which controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with the person with respect to which the term “Affiliate” is used. For purposes of
this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
trust or unincorporated organization, or a government or any agency or political subdivision
thereof. “Control” means (a) in the case of corporate entities, direct or indirect ownership of at
least fifty percent (50%) of the stock or participating shares entitled to vote for the election of
directors; and (b) in the case of non-corporate entities (such as limited liability companies,

during the Employment Term, whether alone or jointly with others. Executive further agrees to

to Company.

     SECTION V.3 Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges and agrees that his services are

-4-

 

of a special, unique and extraordinary value to Company and its Affiliates and that damages alone
may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event of the
breach by Executive of any of the provisions of this Agreement, Company may, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or
equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of this Agreement.

VI.

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION VII.1 Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be
severable. If any term or provision hereof is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be

89118 , ATT: Jeff Hultman, and if to Executive, to his office. Notice shall be deemed received on
the date sent if sent by facsimile or personal delivery; three days after the date sent if sent by

implied), tort claims, claims for discrimination (including, but not limited to race, sex,
religion, national origin, age, handicap or disability), claims for compensation or claims for
violations of any federal, state, foreign or other governmental law, statute, regulation or
ordinance, then either party may initiate arbitration proceedings in accordance with the Rules of
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Arbitration proceedings shall be held in any Clark
County, Nevada office of AAA. Both parties hereby consent to such arbitration, and any arbitration
award shall be final and binding. Neither party shall disclose the existence of any dispute or the
terms of any arbitration decision to any third party, other than their legal counsel, accountants,
and financial advisors or as required by law.

     SECTION VII.6 Representation by Counsel. Executive acknowledges that he has been
represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and has consulted with such legal
counsel.

which taken together will constitute one instrument.

-5-

 

     SECTION VII.8 Waiver. Either party’s failure to enforce any provision or provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or
provisions, nor prevent that party thereafter from enforcing each and every other provision of this
Agreement. The rights granted both parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the
circumstances.

SECTION VII.9 Binding Effect. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors, heirs, and assigns. Executive shall not assign, convey, or otherwise transfer,

LOAN RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT

          This LOAN RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 1st day of
August, 2006 by and between Network Installation Corp., a Nevada corporation (“NWKI”), and its
subsidiary, Kelley Communication Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Kelley”) (together the
“Company”), and Dutchess Private Equities Fund LP, Dutchess Private Equities Fund LP II, and
Dutchess Advisors Ltd. (collectively “Dutchess”).

RECITALS

          A. The Company and Dutchess have entered into numerous loan, collateral, debenture, warrant,
and other agreements, a partial list of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Company and
Dutchess intend that this Agreement govern all agreements listed in Exhibit A except in the event
of default under this Agreement or the New Note as defined below. The agreements listed in Exhibit
A are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” Nothing in this Agreement will
impact the existing Intercreditor and Security Agreements as set forth herein.

          B. Pursuant to the Loan Documents, from and after 2003, the Company has borrowed from Dutchess
approximately $6,254,960 with an aggregate face amount of $7,300,000 and, as of June 30, 2006,
accrued interest of approximately $500,000. The Loan Documents provide for certain prepayment
premiums and other penalties, some of which have heretofore accrued.

          C. Pursuant to a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) dated September 22, 2005 (which
is listed among the Loan Documents), the Company granted to Dutchess a security interest in certain
collateral described therein in order to secure the debts of the Company to Dutchess. Nothing
herein shall be read to remove or limit Dutchess’s security interest and collateral under the
Security Agreement and Intercreditor Agreement.

          D. Certain of the Loan Documents provide that Dutchess is entitled to convert some or all of
the debt owed to it by the Company into common stock of NWKI. In addition, pursuant to the Loan
Documents, Dutchess currently holds warrants to acquire 5,729,000, shares of common stock of NWKI
(“Loan Warrants”), which are listed in Exhibit A.

          E. Pursuant to that certain Common Stock For Warrant Exchange Agreement dated March 10, 2006
Dutchess currently holds warrants to acquire 2,879,645 shares of common stock of NWKI at $.01 per
share, issued to Dutchess in exchange for common stock of NWKI (the “Exchange Warrants”).

          F. Dutchess currently holds approximately 1,722,224 shares of common stock of NWKI (the
“Dutchess Stock”).

          G. As of June 30, 2006, the Company is also indebted to Bank of America and Bank of Nevada
(formerly Nevada First Bank) in the amounts shown on Exhibits C and D (the

 

 

“Bank Debts”). The Bank Debts are secured by deposits of Dutchess (the “Deposits”) with the
holders of the Bank Debt, which deposits are proportionately released to Dutchess as the Bank Debts
are paid by the Company.

          H. As of June 30, 2006, the Company is also indebted to Robert “Bob” Unger (“Unger”) and
Nottingham Mayport, LLC (“NML”). The Company, NML, Unger and Dutchess have entered into an
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005 whereby the Company NML, Unger and Dutchess
have agreed that NML, Unger and Dutchess shall share on a pari passu basis all Collateral as that
term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

          I. The Company and Dutchess wish to restructure the Company’s obligations to Dutchess under
the Loan Documents upon the terms and conditions contained herein. Except in the event of default
under Section 12 below or with respect to the Exchange Warrants, Dutchess forgives its right to the
Loan Warrants or of any requirement of the Company to issue additional stock of NWKI to Dutchess or
any other entity.

          J. The Company and Dutchess intend that the restructuring provided for in this Agreement shall
be effective as of June 30, 2006. Dutchess takes no position with respect to the Company’s tax and
accounting treatment of the restructuring under this Agreement.

COVENANTS

     1. New Promissory Note. At or before the execution of this Agreement, the Company
shall execute and deliver to Dutchess a signed promissory note (the “New Note”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B, in the face amount of $6,254,960, payable as provided therein with
interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The New Note shall not provide for any prepayment penalty or
premium. The New Note shall supercede all prior evidences of indebtedness of the Company to
Dutchess, including all of the convertible debentures listed in the Loan Documents, except in the
event of default as set forth in section 12, below, or as set forth in section 2, below. The
Company’s satisfaction of the terms of the New Note, shall constitute a full and complete accord
and satisfaction of all of the debts of the Company to Dutchess, other than any obligations owed to
Dutchess in connection with the Bank Debts.

     2. Payment by the Company of the Bank Debts. The New Note is not intended to release
the Company’s obligation to retire the Bank Debt in order to release the deposits of Dutchess
securing the Bank Debt. Therefore, the Company shall pay the Bank Debts in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the agreements with the holders of the Bank Debts that evidence and/or
provide for the securing and payment of the Bank Debts, and the Company will continue to use its
best efforts to assist Dutchess to secure the proportionate release of the Deposits on a quarterly
basis with each bank.

     3. Cancellation of Warrants and Convertible Debentures. All warrants, convertible
debentures and any other agreements between the Company and Dutchess pursuant to which Dutchess may
be entitled to acquire stock of NWKI, are hereby cancelled and shall be surrendered to the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dutchess shall retain the Dutchess Stock, the Exchange Warrants and
its security interests.

 

 

     4. Future Recapitalization. The Company shall not grant a lien against or security
interest in any of the assets of the Company that are subject to any lien or security interest of
Dutchess without Dutchess’s prior written consent, provided however that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be withheld only to the extent reasonably necessary to protect
Dutchess’s collateral position. Additionally, the Company shall not borrow money or sell stock of
the Company, which borrowing or sale either alone or aggregated during any 6-month period exceeds
$250,000, without Dutchess’s prior written consent, provided that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall be withheld only to the extent reasonably necessary to assure the
full and timely payment of the New Note.

     5. Prepayment from Future Recapitalization. If, prior to the Company’s full payment
and satisfaction of the New Note, the Company borrows funds from a lender(s) other than Dutchess or
raises capital from the sale of stock of NWKI from a person(s) or entity(s) other than Dutchess,
either in one event or multiple events, and once the net aggregate proceeds of all such future
loan(s) or future investment(s) (after the payment of all fees and expenses associated with such
loan(s) or investment(s)) exceeds three-million five hundred thousand dollars ($3,500,000) (the
“Threshold Amount”), within 10 days after receipt of such proceeds the Company shall pay to
Dutchess a minimum of 50% of the excess of all such net proceeds over the Threshold Amount up to
the unpaid balance of the New Note, as a principal prepayment of the New Note. The Company shall
periodically report to Dutchess regarding the status of any efforts of the Company to secure such
loan or investment and shall promptly notify Dutchess of any significant developments with respect
to its efforts to secure such loan or investment.

     6. Prepayment From Excess Earnings. If, at any time during which the New Note remains
unpaid, the Company’s earnings on a consolidated basis during any calendar year exceed one-million
dollars ($1,000,000) (i) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, but (ii) after
deduction of all principal and interest payments on outstanding debts, other than prepayments to
Dutchess mandated by paragraphs 6 and 8 hereof (the “Excess Earnings”), the Company will pay to
Dutchess 33% of the Excess Earnings, up to the unpaid balance of the New Note, as a principal
prepayment on the New Note. The determination of Excess Earnings shall be calculated in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applied in accordance with the historical practices
of the Company. Any payment of Excess Earnings shall be due and payable within ten business days
after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

     7. Sale of the Company’s Assets. The Company shall not sell any assets of the Company
(“Asset Sale”), other than sales of inventory or sales in the ordinary course of its business
(including sales as part of the replacement of equipment), without the prior written consent of
Dutchess, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be withheld only to the extent
reasonably necessary to assure the full and timely payment of the New Note. In the event of an
Asset Sale, the Company shall pay to Dutchess 33% of the proceeds of the Asset Sale (after the fees
and expenses associated with the Asset Sale), up to the unpaid balance of the New Note, as a
prepayment on the New Note. Any payment of the proceeds of an Asset Sale shall be due and payable
within ten business days after the receipt by the Company of any proceeds in the form of cash or
cash equivalents.

 

 

     8. Dutchess Waivers. Dutchess hereby waives:

	 	8.1	 	Any default under the Loan Documents and/or the Intercreditor
Agreement that occurred prior to the date of this Agreement.
	 
	 	8.2	 	Any penalty or premium that has accrued under the Loan
Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreement prior to the date of this
Agreement.
	 
	 	8.3	 	Any obligation to register any securities of the Company
imposed under the Loan Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreement that arose
prior to the date of this Agreement.

     9. Effect of Agreement on Related Documents. To the extent any provision of the
Security Agreement and/or the Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent it incorporates or is effected
by the Loan Documents) conflicts with any provision of this Agreement or imposes obligations or
restrictions on any act permitted by this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. In particular,
with respect to the Security Agreement and any provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement in favor
of Dutchess:

	 	9.1	 	All penalties, premiums or other additional expenses
attributable to any prepayment or redemption are hereby forgiven by Dutchess.
	 
	 	9.2	 	All penalties, premiums, liquidated damages or other additional
expenses attributable to any obligation to register any securities of the
Company are hereby forgiven by Dutchess.
	 
	 	9.3	 	All provisions restricting the Company’s right to file a
registration statement with respect to any stock or warrants for stock of the
Company are hereby forgiven by Dutchess.
	 
	 	9.4	 	All payments to Dutchess shall be in the form of cash or cash
equivalents and the Company shall not be obligated to issue to Dutchess common
stock or warrants for the stock of the Company in satisfaction of debt or
otherwise.
	 
	 	9.5	 	Any prohibition of the issuance of the stock of NWKI is hereby
forgiven by Dutchess.

Nothing herein shall be read to remove or limit Dutchess’s security interest and collateral under
the Security Agreement and Intercreditor Agreement.

     10. Enforceability of Loan Documents. Except as modified or supplanted by this
Agreement, the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in force and effect.

     11. Execution by Unger and NML. Unger and NML execute this Agreement solely for the
purpose of evidencing their consent to the amendment of the Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent
it incorporates or is effected by the Loan Documents).

 

 

     12. Default. In the event of the occurrence of a default or of an event of default,
under this Agreement or the New Note, Dutchess has the right to (1) declare the full unpaid balance
of the New Note to be immediately due and payable, and (2) enforce each of its remedies and rights
of collection under the Loan Documents, including conversion, without regard to provisions in this
Agreement and the New Note which would otherwise limit Dutchess’s rights under the Loan Documents.
All other rights, representations and warranties shall survive and be governed as agreed pursuant
to the Loan Documents. In the event of a default, the Company shall be obligated to issue to
Dutchess stock and warrants for stock of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Loan Documents without regard to any provisions in this Agreement or the New Note which would
otherwise limit Dutchess’s rights. After notice of default, the Company shall have a period to cure
the default consisting of the later of (i) 10 business days, or (ii) the cure period prescribed in
the New Note and the Loan Documents

     13. Confidentiality.

          13.1 Dutchess understands that, pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Company may be
required to furnish Dutchess with certain non-public information concerning the business and
financial condition and prospects of the Company (the “Information”). Dutchess agrees that the
Information will be kept strictly confidential by it so long as it remains non-public; provided,
however, that the Information may be disclosed (1) to Dutchess’ legal counsel, independent
accountants, financial advisors, financial partners and their representatives who need to know
such Information (provided that any such person shall, prior to disclosure to such person of any
Information, agree with the Company in writing to be bound by this agreement) and (2) as required
by law or regulation.

          13.2 The term “Information” does not include information which (i) becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by Dutchess or its representatives,
(ii) was available to Dutchess on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Dutchess by
the Company or its representatives, or (iii) becomes available to Dutchess on a non-confidential
basis from a source other than the Company or its representatives, provided that such source is
not known by Dutchess to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or its
representatives.

          13.3 In the event Dutchess or anyone to whom Dutchess transmits the Information become
legally compelled to disclose any of the Information, Dutchess shall provide the Company with
prompt notice so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or
waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order
or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement, Dutchess shall furnish only that portion of the Information which it is advised by
counsel is legally required and shall cooperate with the Company in any reasonable attempt it may
make to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Information.

          13.4 Dutchess acknowledges that it is aware that the United States securities laws prohibit
any person who has received from an issuer any material, non-public information concerning the
issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from

 

 

communicating such information to any other person under the circumstances in which it is
reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

     14. Notices. All communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
in writing and any communication or delivery hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly made if
and when actually delivered, or if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed as set forth below, shall be deemed to have been duly made on the date mailed. Either
party may, by written notice so delivered to the other, change the address to which delivery shall
thereafter be made.
