    National Investment Managers Inc., a
Florida corporation (the "Maker"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to

    This Note is executed as a replacement

part at any time without the consent of the Holder provided that Maker shall pay

prepayment.

     

    Further, in the event that the Maker
and the Holder are unable to determine if the Target Revenue (as defined in the
Stock Purchase Agreement) has been achieved pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the
Stock Purchase Agreement, then the aforementioned payment dates shall be
extended to be a date five (5) business days from the date that the Independent
Accounting Firm (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) resolves any
dispute between the Maker and the Holder.

     

    The entire unpaid principal balance of
this Note and interest accrued with respect thereto shall be immediately due and
payable upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, an "Event of

terminated within sixty (60) days; or

     

    f.    Default in
the payment of the principal or accrued interest on this Note, when and as the
same shall become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, which
such default has not been cured within thirty (30) days of the Holder notifying
the Maker in writing of such default; or

     

    g.   The employment of
John M. Davis, President and Chief Operating Officer of Maker is involuntarily
terminated by the Maker, excluding natural acts.

     

    All rights and remedies available to
the Holder pursuant to the provisions of applicable law and otherwise are
cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable alternatively, successively and/or
concurrently after default by Maker pursuant to the provisions of this
Note.

     

    This Note may not be changed, modified
or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by both Maker
and Holder.

     

    This Note is subordinate to all Senior
Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note,
the Holder agree that the indebtedness represented by this Note and the payment
of principal and interest, including any interest accruing during the existence
of an Event of Default, and other amounts owed by Maker are hereby expressly
made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Indebtedness, and any fees, costs, enforcement expenses (including
legal fees and disbursements), collateral protection expenses and other
reimbursement or indemnity obligations related to such Senior
Indebtedness.  As used herein, “Senior Indebtedness” means the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on (i) all indebtedness of Maker
for money borrowed from any bank, merchant bank, savings and loan, insurance
company, finance company, credit union, investment bank, broker-dealer, or other
financial institution of any nature whatsoever, or any affiliate thereof,
whether outstanding on the date of execution of this Note or thereafter created,
assumed or incurred (including, without limitation, all indebtedness evidenced
by that certain (A) Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as
of November 30, 2007, between Maker and RBS Citizens, National Association, and
(B) Securities Purchase and Loan Agreement, dated November 30, 2007, by and

and Woodside Agency Services, LLC, as collateral agent; and (ii) any deferrals,
renewals, increases, extensions or refinancing of any such Senior Indebtedness
referred to in clause (i) above.  As used herein, “indebtedness of
Maker for money borrowed” means any obligation of, or any obligation guaranteed
by, Maker for the repayment of money borrowed, whether or not evidenced by
bonds, debentures, notes or other written instruments, any capitalized lease
obligation and any deferred obligation for payment of the purchase price of any
property or assets. The Holder agree to furnish any holder of Senior
Indebtedness upon request a subordination agreement that contains reasonably
customary subordination provisions, consistent with the provisions of this Note,
which subordination agreement may, without limitation (x) set forth the priority
rights of the Holder and the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, and (y) prohibit
payments to the Holder that would cause a default under the Senior
Indebtedness.  In the event of and during the continuation of any
default or event of default under any Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable
grace period with respect thereto, no payment shall be made by or on behalf of
Maker, or demand made by or on behalf of the Holder, on this Note until the
date, if any, on which such default or event of default is waived by the Holder
of such Senior Indebtedness or otherwise cured or has ceased to exist or the
Senior Indebtedness to which such default or event of default relates is
discharged by payment in full in cash.  Northing contained in this
Paragraph or elsewhere in this Note shall prevent Maker, at any time except
under the circumstances described in this Paragraph, form making regularly
scheduled payments at any time of principal of or interest on this
Note.

and interpreted without regard to any presumption against the party causing this
Note to be drafted.  Each of the parties hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives the right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Each of the parties unconditionally and

parties to this Note, the prevailing party shall be entitled to immediate
payment of all costs incurred by such party in such dispute, including, but not
limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
