Note shall be credited and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Agreement.

Rate set forth in the Loan Agreement shall apply to this Term Loan Note as and
when provided therein.

     4. Loan Agreement and Security Documents.

     (a) This Term Loan Note is referred to in, made  pursuant  to, and entitled
to the benefits of, the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement,  among other things,
(i) provides for the making of the Term Loan by Lender to Borrower in the Dollar
amount first mentioned above,  (ii) contains  provisions for acceleration of the
maturity  hereof upon the happening of certain  stated events upon the terms and
conditions therein specified, and (iii) contains provisions defining an Event of
Default and the rights and remedies of Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

     (b) This Term Loan Note is a secured note,  entitled to the benefits of and
security  interests  granted in, among other things,  the Loan Agreement and the
other Security Documents.

     5. Prepayments. This Term Loan Note may be prepaid in whole or in part upon
notice to Lender  and shall be  prepaid in whole,  in each case as  provided  or
required in the Loan  Agreement.  No payment or  prepayment  of any amount shall
entitle any Person to be subrogated  to the rights of Lender  hereunder or under
the Loan Agreement  unless and until the Obligations have been performed in full
and paid irrevocably in full in cash and the Loan Agreement has been terminated.

     6.  Payments  Due on a Day other than a Business  Day. If any payment to be
made on or under  this Term Loan  Note is  stated to be due or  becomes  due and
payable  on a day other  than a  Business  Day,  the due date  thereof  shall be
extended to, and such  payment  shall be made on, the next  succeeding  Business
Day,  and  such  extension  of  time in  such  case  shall  be  included  in the
computation  of payment of any  interest  (at the  interest  rate then in effect
during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

     7. Waivers. Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment,  protest, notice of
dishonor or non-payment,  as well as all defenses with respect to this Term Loan
Note, the Loan Agreement and/or any Obligation, notice of acceptance hereof, and
all other demands and notices of any  description,  except such as are expressly
provided  for herein or in the Loan  Agreement.  The  pleading of any statute of
limitations as a defense to any demand against  Borrower  hereunder is expressly
waived  by  Borrower.  No  course of action  or  dealing,  renewal,  release  or
extension of this Term Loan Note or any Loan Document or any rights hereunder or
thereunder,  release of Borrower or any Guarantor, or delay, failure or omission
on Lender's part in enforcing  this Term Loan Note or any other Loan Document or
in exercising or enforcing any right, remedy, option or power hereunder or under
any other Loan Document  shall affect the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor
or operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy, power or option or of
any  default,  nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any right,  remedy,
option or power  hereunder or under any other Loan Document affect the liability
of Borrower or any  Guarantor or preclude any other or further  exercise of such
or any  other  right,  remedy,  power or  option.  No  waiver of any one or more
defaults  in the  performance  of any of the  provisions  of this Term Loan Note
shall  operate or be  construed  as a waiver of any future  default or defaults,
whether of a like or different nature.

                                    -- 99 --

     8. Exercise of Rights.

     (a) Lender shall have the right in its sole  discretion to determine  which
rights,  powers,  Liens,  security  interests or remedies Lender may at any time
pursue,  relinquish,  subordinate  or modify or to take any  other  action  with
respect thereto, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any
of Lender's rights,  powers,  Liens, security interests or remedies hereunder or
under any of the Loan Documents, under applicable law or at equity.

     (b) The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to
be exhaustive. The rights and remedies of Lender described herein are cumulative
and are not  alternative  to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies  which
Lender otherwise may have by contract or at law or in equity, and the partial or
complete  exercise of any right or remedy shall not  preclude any other  further
exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

     9. Lawful  Limits.  This Term Loan Note is expressly  limited so that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise,
shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the
use,  forbearance  or  detention  of money  hereunder  exceed the  maximum  rate
permissible under applicable law which a court of competent  jurisdiction shall,
in a final  determination,  deem applicable  hereto. If, due to any circumstance
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit,  then, the obligation to be
so fulfilled  shall be reduced to such lawful  limit,  and, if Lender shall have
received  interest or any other  charges of any kind which might be deemed to be
interest under  applicable  law in excess of the maximum lawful rate,  then such
excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder,  then to
unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower  hereunder,  and if the then remaining
excess  interest  is  greater  than  the  previously  unpaid  principal  balance
hereunder,  Lender shall promptly  refund such excess amount to Borrower and the
provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

     10.  Governing  Law. This Term Loan Note shall be governed by and construed
in  accordance  with the internal laws of the State of Maryland  without  giving
effect to its choice of laws provisions.

     11.  Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict  between the terms of this Note
and the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement shall govern.
