EXHIBIT A
INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS
THIS EXHIBIT A is attached to and forms a part of that certain
Commercial Note (as amended. modified, supplemented or replaced from time to
time, the Note), dated September 30, 1997, in the principal amount of
$10,000,000, made by MAXIMUS, INC., a Virginia corporation (the Borrower), and
payable to the order of CRESTAR BANK, a Virginia banking corporation (the
Bank). Terms defined in the Note and not otherwise defined in Paragraph 5 below
shall have the same defined meanings when such terms are used herein.
1. Interest Rate. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth below and in the Agreement, any amounts outstanding, or to be disbursed.
under the Note shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus the
Applicable Spread (the LIBOR Option). Interest based on the LIBOR Option shall
be adjusted on the first day of each calendar month, beginning on October 1,
1997, to reflect LIBOR then in effect (each. an Interest Period).
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Note or this Exhibit A, interest
shall be calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate if (i) the Bank, in good
faith, is unable to ascertain the LIBOR Option by reason of circumstances then
affecting the applicable money market or otherwise, (ii) dollar deposits are
not available in the applicable money market or are not available in sufficient
quantities for the Bank, in its sole discretion. to ascertain the LIBOR Option,
(iii) in the sole judgment of the Bank, it becomes unlawful or impracticable
for the Bank to maintain loans based upon the LIBOR Option for any reason,
including, without limitation, the introduction of or any change in any
applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, or (iv) the
Bank, in good faith, determines that it is impracticable to maintain loans
based on the LIBOR Option because of increased taxes, regulatory costs, reserve
requirements, expenses or any other costs or charges that affect such interest
rate option. Upon the occurrence of any of the above events, the outstanding
principal balance of the Note immediately (or at any time thereafter at the
option of the Bank), without further action of the Borrower or the Bank. shall
accrue interest at the Prime Rate, adjusted on the same days on which the Bank
changes its Prime Rate.
2. Advances. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to make advances
under the Note from time to time in amounts sufficient to pay checks drawn on
the Borrower's operating account with the Bank, subject to the limitations set
forth in the paragraph entitled, "Amount," in the Agreement. In addition, the
Borrower may request an advance under the Note (each, a Request) by telephonic
notice to the Bank no later than 10:00 a.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the
Business Day on which such advance is to be made. If required by the Bank,
Requests made by telephone shall be confirmed in writing and delivered to the
Bank within three Business Days after the date of the Request.
3. Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay amounts owing under the
Note at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty.
4. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Bank and to
hold the Bank harmless from, and to reimburse the Bank on demand for, any loss,
cost, liability or expense
8
that the Bank may sustain or incur as a result of (a) any failure by the
Borrower to make a borrowing or prepayment after the Borrower has given notice
thereof, if applicable, including, without limitation, any loss incurred in
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and loss of profit for the
period after failure to borrow or prepay, or (b) any domestic or foreign taxes,
regulatory costs, reserve requirements, assessments, expenses or other costs or
charges that increase the cost to the Bank of making available to the Borrower
funds at the LIBOR Option. A written statement of the Bank to the Borrower of
such loss or expense shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error,
for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may require by notice
to the Borrower that the Borrower pay directly to the appropriate governmental
authority any tax, levy, impost or any other charge of any nature whatsoever as
set forth herein in lieu of reimbursing the Bank for said costs and expenses.
This covenant shall survive repayment of the Note and payment by the Borrower
of all obligations arising under this Exhibit A.
5. Defined Terms. The following terms as used in this Exhibit A
shall have the following meanings:
Agreement means the letter agreement dated September 30, 1997
between the Borrower and the Bank, as the same may be amended, modified or
supplemented from time to time.

open for business and dealing in deposits in Washington, D.C., Richmond,
Virginia, and New York, New York.

deposits in the relevant principal amount.

executed by its duly authorized representatives as of September 30, 1997.
