               all other  outstanding  amounts due  hereunder and under the Loan

               Revolving Note as and when provided therein.

          4.   Loan Agreement and Security Documents.

               (a)  This Revolving 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  Advances  under  the  Revolving  Facility  by  Lender to
                    Borrower  in  the  aggregate  maximum  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  Revolving  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  Revolving  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  and upon
               payment of all fees and other  Obligations set forth therein.  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 Revolving 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 Revolving  Note,  the Loan  Agreement  and/or any
               Obligation,  notice  of  acceptance  hereof,  notice  of loans or
               Advances made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered,
               or any  other  action  taken in  reliance  hereon,  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 Revolving 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 Revolving
               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
               Revolving  Note shall  operate or be construed as a waiver of any
               future  default  or  defaults,  whether  of a like  or  different
               nature.

          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 Revolving 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  Revolving  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.  Acknowledgement  of Joint and Several  Liability.  Each  Borrower
               acknowledges  that it is jointly and severally  liable for all of
               the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly
               understands,  agrees and acknowledges  that (i) Borrowers are all
               Affiliated  entities  by common  ownership,  (ii)  each  Borrower
               desires to have the  availability  of one common credit  facility
               instead of separate  credit  facilities,  (iii) each Borrower has
               requested that Lender extend such a common credit facility on the
               terms herein provided,  (iv) Lender will be lending against,  and
               relying on a lien upon, all of Borrowers' assets that are pledged
               as  Collateral  hereunder,   even  though  the  proceeds  of  any
               particular loan made hereunder may not be advanced  directly to a
               particular  Borrower,  (v) each Borrower will nonetheless benefit
               by the making of all such loans by Lender and the availability of
               a single  credit  facility  of a size  greater  than  each  could
               independently  warrant,  and  (vi)  all of  the  representations,
               warranties,  covenants,  obligations,  conditions, agreements and
               other terms  contained in the Loan Documents  shall be applicable
               to and shall be binding upon each Borrower.

          12.  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.

          13.  Replacement  Notes.  This  Revolving  Note,  together  with  that
               certain other  Revolving  Note dated as of the date hereof in the
               principal amount of $1,500,000, are given in replacement, but not


               in  extinguishment,  novation or  cancellation,  of that  certain
               Revolving  Note  dated  as of the  date  hereof  in the  original
               principal amount of $3,500,000.





     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed and delivered this Revolving Note
on this the 25th day of March  2005 to be  effective  as of the date  first  set
forth above.
