  1. Business Plan – Presentation Prepared by Grace Prepaid Legal Group, Inc. 2009 Privileged & Confidential v2

  2. Why Prepaid Legal Services? • In America there are an estimated 122 million middle-income Americans who are members of legal service plans. Surprisingly, the Vietnamese market is still untapped. • Attorney’s, in general, are not being properly utilized. People perceive that lawyers cost too much, the act of hiring an attorney can be intimidating, or they simply do not know what type of lawyer to contact. • Direct-mail and other forms of marketing are designed to convince the public that legal services are valuable and that prepayment is the most feasible way to pay legal fees. • The growth of prepaid legal plans has sparked significant interest in the media and the financial community. The vast publicity in major newspapers, national magazines, and the broadcast media has brought the idea of prepayment for legal services to many Americans. • Commercially marketed plans have expanded to credit card holders, bank depositors, credit union and association members, and even people not affiliated with any group. • The reason the Vietnamese market is still untapped is because there is no Vietnamese Lawyer who has the vision to develop the market. Until now…

  3. Grace Prepaid Legal Has a Competitive Edge! • Vietnamese Market (Initial Target) • Prepaid Legal Sales Expert • Legal Business Run By Lawyers • Closed Network of Providers • Current Economic Timing • National Acceptance • American Bar Association • United States Chamber of Commerce • other National Chambers

  4. Reaching the Vietnamese Americans • Attorney and Co-Founder of Grace Prepaid Legal Group, Inc. Tammy Tran is perhaps the only one in the United States that has a valid and dependable list of 2 million+ Vietnamese names and addresses. (See Exhibit 1-20). From these 2 million names and addresses, and based on conservative estimates, we project to create a solid membership base of 100,000+ members within the first 12 months of operation, with an average membership term of 3 years. • Tammy Tran’s circle of influence in the Vietnamese community will be monumental in achieving this membership goal. Tammy Tran also has media access through radio and national television broadcasts that are currently listened to and viewed by thousands. • Performance wise, we have a group of 45 practicing lawyers, along with their firms, who are licensed in 50 states. These lawyers will represent our members throughout the United States. With the influence of our excellent reputations and high expectations of service, the lawyers will provide the best quality of work.

  5. Grace Prepaid Legal has an Incredible Sales Expert • In order to recruit the top sales associates and to assist with the implementation, Rosa Battle has been retained as a consultant for Grace Prepaid Legal Group, Inc. Ms. Battle has 12 years of direct sales experience, including 7 years with Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. During her tenure with Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. she built an organization of 44 thousand sales distributors in 2 years, which generated approximately 5 million memberships and paid out over $15,000,000 in commissionable dollars over a 7 year period from February 2000 – 2007. • Based on the production goals she achieved, Ms. Battle was appointed Regional Vice-President for the State of Texas by Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. • Ms. Battle will bring the depth of her experience and operational “know-how” to Grace Prepaid Legal Group, Inc. and help aid in a seamless start-up process which will facilitate in meeting and exceeding Grace Prepaid Legal’s production and revenue goals. • Under Ms Battle’s guidance, Grace Prepaid Legal Group, Inc. will recruit a sales force of 5,000+ distributors within the first 24 months. • As a reference, during this period, Prepaid Legal Services, Inc. generated $350,623,000 in 2002; $361,313,000 in 2003; $385,937,000 in 2004; $423,380,000 in 2005; $444,024,000 in 2006; and $457,089,000 in 2007 in revenues. (See Annual Reports for 2002-2007)

  6. Revenue Projection • Conservatively, we estimate 100,000+ members within the first 12 months of operation, with an average membership term of 3 years. • 100,000 members at a $25 monthly fee who prepay a 3-year membership term = $90 million in revenue ( 100,000 x 25 x 36 = $90 million) • The initial target market is the American Vietnamese Community which currently has an estimated population of 2,000,000. However, this number is growing substantially. The city of Houston and surrounding areas alone have a Vietnamese population of approximately 200,000. Additionally, there are over 400,000 Vietnamese throughout all of Texas and approximately 600,000 Vietnamese in California. • The revenue generated will be shared according to the trade. 1/3 will be paid out to Grace Prepaid Legal Group’s investors, 1/3 to the sales force, and 1/3 to the Primary Attorneys’ Law Firms with provisions. • To avoid the problems of substandard legal service that other prepaid legal service companies have had, Ms. Tran suggests that a percentage of the 1/3 funds paid monthly to the Primary Attorneys’ Law Firms be placed in an escrow account, and the total funds shall be released only when the services of such provider firm is triggered/used by the members.

  20. Conclusion • Grace Prepaid Legal Group is a unique and beneficial service for the American Vietnamese community through these trying economic times. • Realistic goals. • Each competitor currently has a 1+ Million membership base (Annual Revenue = $400,000,000-$500,000,000). • None of them has tapped into the Vietnamese market. • The US National Vietnamese population is estimated at 2 Million. Grace Prepaid Legal has a very attainable and conservative goal of recruiting 100,000 members within the first year. To put that into perspective, out of 2 Million potential Vietnamese Members, Grace Prepaid Legal Group needs only to recruit roughly 8k members per month, for the first year. • Revenue Projection = $90 Million Dollars! • $25 per month x 3 year contract in advance x 100,000 members. • According to the Trade, 1/3 to the Investors, 1/3 to the Sales Force, 1/3 to the Performing Attorneys.
