(a) Lender hereby agrees and commits to make revolving credit advances to Borrower, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Revolving Loan”), in a maximum aggregate principal amount that may be outstanding at any one time of Nineteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($19,000,000.00) (the “Maximum Revolving Loan Amount”).

(b) The Revolving Loan shall be in the nature of a revolving line of credit, and shall include sums advanced and other credit extended by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this Section 2.1A (each a “Revolving Credit Advance”) up to the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount depending upon the availability in the Borrowing Base, the requests of Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.2. The outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan may fluctuate from time to time, to be reduced by repayments made by Borrower (which may be made without penalty or premium), and to be increased by future Revolving Credit Advances, advances and other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower. For purposes of this Agreement, any determination as to whether there is availability within the Borrowing Base for advances or extensions of credit shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with its standard underwriting practices and not inconsistent with the same determinations made by Lender in connection with its administration of other loans.

(c) At Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note evidencing Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay Lender for Revolving Credit Advances, advances, and other extensions of credit made under the Revolving Loan, in the form of Exhibit A-1 to this Agreement (as amended, modified, increased, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Revolving Note”), dated the date of this Agreement, payable to the order of Lender in accordance with the terms thereof. The Revolving Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Note from the date of the Revolving Note until repaid at a rate per annum (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days ) equal to the Revolver Base Rate, provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default such rate shall be equal to the Default Rate. Each Revolving Credit Advance, advance and other extension of credit in respect of the Revolving Loan shall be deemed evidenced by the Revolving Note, which is deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by this reference.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, advances under the Revolving Loan shall be made and Letters of Credit shall be issued against a borrowing base equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of Qualified Accounts due and owing from any Account Debtor (the “Borrowing Base”). Lender, in its sole credit judgment, may further adjust the Borrowing Base by applying percentages (known as “liquidity factors”) to Qualified Accounts by payor based upon Borrower’s actual recent collection history for each such payor in a manner

consistent with Lender’s underwriting practices and procedures. Such liquidity factors may be adjusted by Lender from time to time as warranted by Lender’s standard underwriting practices and procedures and using its sole credit judgment in a manner not inconsistent with the credit judgment employed by Lender for the same purpose in connection with its administration of other loans. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender will withhold from the Borrowing Base (after application of the liquidity factors) an amount equal to one-sixth (16.7%) of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan.

Section 2.1B. Term Loan.

(a) Lender hereby agrees and commits to make a term loan to Borrower, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (the “Term Loan”), in a maximum principal amount of Twelve Million and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00) (the “Maximum Term Loan Amount”).

(b) The Term Loan shall not be in the nature of a revolving line of credit, but shall include sums advanced and other credit extended by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this Section 2.1B up to the Maximum Term Loan Amount. To the extent any Term Loan proceeds are repaid for any reason, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (including repayments from insurance or condemnation proceeds), Lender shall have no obligation to re-advance such sums to Borrower.

(c) At Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note evidencing Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay Lender for the Term Loan and all advances and other extensions of credit made under the Term Loan, in the form of Exhibit A-2 to this Agreement (as amended, modified, increased, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Term Note”), dated the date of this Agreement, payable to the order of Lender in accordance with the terms thereof. The Term Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Note from the date of the Term Note until repaid at a rate per annum (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Term Base Rate, provided that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default such rate shall be equal to the Default Rate. The Term Loan and all advances and other extension of credit in respect of the Term Loan shall be deemed evidenced by the Term Note, which is deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement by this reference.

Section 2.1C. Letter of Credit Facility.

(a) Borrower has requested that Lender issue or cause to be issued, and Lender has agreed to issue or cause to be issued by Issuing Party for Borrower’s account and guaranteed by Lender, one or more Letters of Credit in a maximum Face Amount of $7,000,000 for the benefit of one or more Beneficiaries. Each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than one (1) year from the date it is issued, and, if requested by Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement at Lender’s sole discretion, may be renewed or extended thereafter for additional periods of up to one (1) year each, provided that the term of such Letter of Credit (including any extended term) shall not expire on a date that is later than thirty (30) days prior to the schedule Maturity Date.

(b) To the extent that Lender makes or is obligated to make any payment in connection with an LC Draft honored by Issuing Party, such payment, together with all other Letter of Credit Obligations then paid or incurred by Lender and unreimbursed by Borrower, shall constitute Revolving Credit Advances under this Agreement made by Lender as of the date the same are paid or incurred by Lender or due from Borrower, as the case may be, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding Borrower’s failure to have met any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2. All such Letter of Credit Obligations shall bear interest until paid at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Advances under this Agreement. The Letter of Credit Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note and secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, shall apply to the Letters of Credit and/or the Letter of Credit Obligations, as applicable.

(c) All payments which Lender makes or is obligated to make in connection with an LC Draft honored by Issuing Party, shall be due and payable, in full, to Lender by Borrower immediately upon demand by Lender. Borrower’s failure to repay all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations as and when due in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement shall constitute an event of Default under Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply collections of Accounts towards repayment of amounts outstanding under this Section 2.1C(c).

(d) If Issuing Party honors any LC Draft under a Letter of Credit and Borrower fails to reimburse Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lender may assert its right of subrogation under applicable law, whether Issuing Party’s honoring of such LC Draft satisfies all or only part of the underlying obligation. Borrower shall, on reasonable notice, cooperate with Lender and Issuing Party in the assertion of (i) Borrower’s rights against the particular Beneficiary presenting such LC Draft, (ii) such Beneficiary’s rights against Borrower and (iii) any other rights that Lender or Issuing Party may have by subrogation, assignment or otherwise. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the prompt return of all drafts, documents, instruments and statements in Borrower’s possession that were presented by or on behalf of such Beneficiary in connection with any LC Draft.

(e) During any period in which a Letter of Credit is outstanding, if the Borrowing Base is ever less than the sum of (x) the Face Amount plus (y) the balance of the Revolving Loan plus (z) $200,000, then Borrower agrees to make upon demand such cash deposits with Lender as Lender may from time to time require, which cash deposit shall be applied at Lender’s option either to reduce the balance of the Revolving Loan or to secure further the Letter of Credit Obligations.

Section 2.2. Loan Administration. Borrowings under the Loans shall be as follows:

(a) A request for a Revolving Credit Advance shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner: (i) Borrower may give Lender notice of its intention to borrow, in which notice Borrower shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time one (1) Business Day before the proposed borrowing date; provided,however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists an Event of Default; and (ii) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement, whether as interest or for any other Obligation, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Advance on the day following the due date in the amount required to pay such interest or other Obligation if such was not paid by Borrower on the due date.

(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Advance or advance from the Term Loan requested, or deemed to be requested, as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Advance requested under subsection 2.2(a)(i) or any Term Loan advance shall be disbursed by Lender by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower and Lender from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to written direction from Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Advance deemed to be requested under subsection 2.2(a)(ii) shall be disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation.

(c) All Loans, advances and other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower shall constitute one general Obligation of Borrower, and shall be secured by Lender’s Lien upon all of the Collateral.

(d) Lender shall enter all Loans as debits to a loan account or accounts in the name of Borrower and shall also record in said loan account(s) all payments made by Borrower on any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are indefeasibly paid to Lender, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrower. Prior to the earlier to occur of an Event of Default or the Maturity Date, all collections into the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied first to fees, costs and expenses due and owing under the Loan Documents, then to interest due and owing in respect of the Revolving Credit Advances, and then to principal outstanding with respect to Revolving Credit Advances. During the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, or following the Maturity Date, all collections into the Concentration Account pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Lender will account to Borrower monthly with a statement of the Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such accounting rendered by Lender shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, absent manifest error, unless Lender is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each accounting is mailed to Borrower. Such notice shall be deemed an objection only to those items specifically objected to in the notice.

Section 2.3. Collections, Disbursements, Borrowing Availability, and Lockbox Account.

(a) Borrower shall maintain a lockbox (the “Lockbox”) with SunTrust Bank or other bank acceptable to Lender (the “Lockbox Bank”), subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall execute with the Lockbox Bank a lockbox agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B, and such other agreements related to such lockbox agreement as Lender may require. Borrower shall use its best, good faith efforts to ensure that all collections of Accounts are paid directly from Account Debtors into the Lockbox for deposit into the Lockbox Account, and that all funds deposited into the Lockbox Account are immediately transferred into a depository account maintained by Lender at Bank One, N.A., or such other financial institution as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, by written notice to Borrower and the Lockbox Bank (the “Concentration Account”). The parties agree that Borrower’s obligation to cause all collections of Accounts to be paid directly into the Lockbox shall consist of its good faith efforts and that Borrower shall not be in breach of the requirements of this Section 2.3(a) by virtue of an absolute refusal of an Account Debtor to send its remittances directly to the Lockbox.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in any lockbox agreement to the contrary, Borrower agrees that it shall be liable for any fees and charges in effect from time to time and charged by the Lockbox Bank in connection with the Lockbox and the Lockbox Account, and that Lender shall have no liability therefor. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent such fees and charges are not paid by Borrower directly but are satisfied using collections in the Lockbox Account, such fees and charges shall be deemed to be Revolving Credit Advances made by Lender hereunder and, to the extent that the payment of such fees or charges by Borrower as provided herein results in any overadvance under this Agreement, Borrower agrees to immediately (upon notice) repay to Lender the amount of such overadvance. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, losses and demands whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from or relating to actions of Lender or the Lockbox Bank pursuant to this Section 2.3 or any lockbox agreement.

(c) Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to this Section 2.3 to reduce the outstanding indebtedness under the Loans and this Agreement (in accordance with Section 2.2(d)). To the extent that any collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral are not sent directly to the Lockbox as required by this Section 2.3 but are received by Borrower, such collections shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted, in the form received, to the Lockbox Bank for transfer to the Concentration Account immediately upon receipt by Borrower.

(d) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its compliance with the terms of this Section 2.3 is essential, and that Lender will suffer immediate and irreparable injury and have no adequate remedy at law, if Borrower, through its acts or omissions, causes or permits Account Debtors to send payments other than to the Lockbox, or if Borrower fails to immediately deposit collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral in the Lockbox Account as herein required. Upon Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of this Section 2.3, Lender will be entitled, in addition to exercising any other rights and remedies available to it, but in lieu of imposing the Default Rate, to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Revolver Base Rate and the Term Base Rate by two percent (2%) per annum during

any period of non-compliance. Lender shall be entitled to assess such non-compliance fee whether or not an Event of Default is declared or otherwise occurs (but not during any period in which the Default Rate is in effect).

(e) All funds transferred from the Concentration Account for application to Borrower’s indebtedness to Lender shall be applied as provided in Section 2.2(d), but for purposes of calculating interest shall be subject to a five (5) Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower at any time or times for so long as no Event of Default, and no fact, event or circumstance that, with notice or the passage of time (or both), would constitute an Event of Default, exists.

Section 2.4. Fees.

(a) By executing this Agreement, Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay to Lender, on the Closing Date, subject to the funding of the Loans by Lender, a commitment fee equal to one and three-quarters percent (1¾%) of the sum of Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and the Maximum Term Loan Amount (such amount, the “Commitment Fee”) less the initial payment of $200,000.00 previously paid to Lender by Borrower upon its acceptance of the funding commitment set forth in the commitment letter dated July 24, 2002.

(b) For so long as the Revolving Loan is available to Borrower, Borrower unconditionally shall pay to Lender a monthly usage fee (the “Usage Fee”) equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the average amount by which the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, less the amount withheld from the Borrowing Base pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.1A(d), exceeds the average amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances during the preceding month. The Usage Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each successive calendar month.

(c) For so long as either of the Loans is available to Borrower, Borrower unconditionally shall pay to Lender a loan management fee (the “Loan Management Fee”) equal to Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($75,000.00) per annum, payable annually in advance on the Closing Date and on each anniversary thereof.

(d) In consideration for Lender’s agreement to cause any and all Letters of Credit to be issued for Borrower’s account, Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued, for each three (3) month period or portion thereof (each, a “Period”) during which such Letter of Credit may be outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to four percent (4.0%) of the Face Amount, on an annualized basis. The Letter of Credit Fee shall not be prorated for any Period shorter than three (3) months. The Letter of Credit Fee for each Period shall be deemed accrued and fully earned upon the commencement of each Period (the first such Period to commence on the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit, and each Period thereafter to commence on each annual anniversary thereof), shall be payable in full on the first date of each such Period, and shall be non-refundable when paid. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, Borrower hereby agrees to pay to or reimburse Lender for, on demand,

any and all commissions and charges of, and any and all fees (including any per annum fees), costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or of Issuing Party to the extent Lender is obligated to reimburse Issuing Party therefor), in connection with the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of the Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued. Borrower hereby agrees that each Letter of Credit Fee and any and all other amounts required to be paid or reimbursed by Borrower under this subsection 2.4(e) may be paid by adding such amounts to the balance of Revolving Credit Advances hereunder.

(e) Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable fees and expenses in connection with audits and appraisals of Borrower’s books and records and such other matters as Lender shall deem appropriate, which shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance by Lender of a request for payment thereof to Borrower.

(f) Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Lender or any participant pays to a bank or other similar institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by Lender to any participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower, by Lender, of proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances made by Lender to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the depositing for collection, by Lender or any participant, of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Lender or any participant on account of Obligations.

(g) Lender shall have the right to charge administrative fees as Lender may determine, in its sole reasonable discretion, in connection with any servicing requests made by Borrower requiring Lender’s evaluation, preparation and processing of any such requests.

Section 2.5. Payments.

(a) Principal payable on account of Revolving Credit Advances shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon the earliest of (a) the receipt by Borrower or Lender of any payments on or proceeds from any of the Personal Property, to the extent of such proceeds, (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default if any of the Loans and the maturity of the payment of any of the Obligations are accelerated, or (c) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement; provided,however, that if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Advances is at any time in excess of the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall, immediately upon demand, repay such excess. Interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Advances shall be due on the earliest of (x) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed on the last calendar day of the preceding month, (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, the day such interest accrues, or (z) the Maturity Date.

(b) Principal payable on account of the Term Loan shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon the earliest of (a) the date(s) set forth in the amortization schedule attached as or described in Exhibit E hereto, or (b) the Maturity Date. Interest accrued on the Term Loan shall be due on the earliest of (x) the first day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), commencing on October 1, 2002, computed on the last calendar

day of the preceding month, or (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, the day such interest accrues.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all payments of principal and of interest on the Loans, all other charges and any other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made to Lender to the Concentration Account, in immediately available funds. All payments shall be made without deduction for any set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or defense that Borrower now has or may have in the future.

(d) In the event that any payment required hereunder is not actually received by Lender within five (5) calendar days of the date such payment is due, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the total amount of any delinquent payment as liquidated damages in order to defray the increased cost of collection occasioned by such late payment and the lost investment opportunity. Such charges shall be imposed automatically, without any notice to Borrower or any other person, but not more often than once a month.

Section 2.6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Lender’s advances under the Loans shall be used solely to defease Borrower’s existing indebtedness owed to Fleet Bank, for working capital, for acquisition or refinancing of the Real Property, and for other costs of Borrower arising in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. On the date of Closing, Lender, on Borrower’s behalf, will forward a portion of the proceeds of the Loans to Chicago Title Insurance Company for the purpose of purchasing all rights in an existing mortgage note secured by Borrower’s Salinas, Puerto Rico facility. Lender will hold such note and all rights thereto, in escrow for Borrower.

Section 2.7. Interest Rate Limitation. The parties intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws in effect from time to time during the term of the Loans. Accordingly, if any transaction contemplated by this Agreement would be usurious under such laws, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: (a) the aggregate of all interest that is contracted for, charged, or received under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law (the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and any excess shall be promptly credited to Borrower by Lender (or, to the extent that such consideration shall have been paid, such excess shall be promptly refunded to Borrower by Lender); (b) neither Borrower nor any other Person now or hereafter liable under this Agreement shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate; and (c) the effective rate of interest for the portion of the Loans that would otherwise be usurious under applicable laws shall be reduced to the Highest Lawful Rate. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance, and detention of the debt of Borrower to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated throughout the full term of the applicable Note until payment is made in full so that the actual rate of interest does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate in effect at any particular time during the full term thereof. If at any time the rate of interest under the applicable portion of the Loans exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement under such portion of the Loans shall be limited, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the Highest La wful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the applicable interest accrual rate shall not reduce the interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest

Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Term Base Rate or Revolver Base Rate, as applicable, had at all times been in effect. If the total amount of interest paid or accrued pursuant to this Agreement under the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that would have accrued if the Term Base Rate or Revolver Base Rate, as applicable, had at all times been in effect, then Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between (x) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect, or (B) the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Term Base Rate or Revolver Base Rate, as applicable, had at all times been in effect, and (y) the amount of interest accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.8. Maturity Date; Termination of Revolving Loan; Termination Fee.

(a) The Revolving Note, all interest accrued thereon, all fees, expenses and other charges accrued hereunder, and all other Obligations, if not earlier paid or required to be paid, shall become due and payable in full upon the “Maturity Date” (as defined below). The “Maturity Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (i) September 25, 2005 and (ii) the date on which the Obligations otherwise become due as a result of acceleration of the Obligations as provided for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the effective date of any earlier termination of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender (the “Termination Notice Period”), Borrower may terminate this Agreement by specifying an effective termination date (the “Requested Termination Date”) in a notice of termination sent to Lender; provided that, notwithstanding anything in Borrower’s termination notice to the contrary, the Requested Termination Date shall be effective no earlier than the first Business Day of the month following the expiration of the Termination Notice Period. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement, all funding obligations of Lender under this Agreement shall terminate no later than the expiration of the Termination Notice Period.

(c) All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination of this Agreement or Lender’s funding obligations under this Agreement and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Borrower has paid the Obligations to Lender, in full, in immediately available funds. All indemnities of Borrower in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(d) At the effective date of any termination of Lender’s funding obligations under this Agreement (whether by voluntary termination by Borrower or by termination by Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default), Borrower shall pay to Lender (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and other Obligations owing under the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents) as yield maintenance for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the applicable Termination Fee. Consistent

with the foregoing, Borrower must repay the Term Note in full in connection with any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Revolving Note.

(e) Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, including without limitation any termination by Lender following the occurrence of any Event of Default or any early termination of this Agreement by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8 (any such occurrence, a “Deemed Draw Event”) at any time during which a Letter of Credit remains outstanding, the entire Face Amount shall be deemed to have been drawn under the Letter of Credit and shall automatically become a Revolving Credit Advance under this Agreement. All amounts paid to or collected by Lender in connection with a Letter of Credit following a Deemed Draw Event in excess of the amounts actually drawn on the Letters of Credit by Beneficiary thereof shall be held in an account in the name and under the control of Lender. All such sums so held by Lender shall be deemed part of the Collateral and shall be subject to all security interests and liens granted to Lender in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral. Lender shall have the right to withdraw funds from such account to repay any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations or other Obligations hereunder. Upon termination or expiration of any Letter of Credit, following repayment of any Letter of Credit Obligations or other Obligations, any funds in such account which exceed the aggregate of the amounts not actually drawn on the Letters of Credit which remain outstanding shall be remitted to Borrower. Any funds remaining after the expiration of all Letters of Credit, payment in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations of Borrower shall be remitted to Borrower.

Section 2.9. Maturity of Term Note; Prepayment of Term Note; Release of Real Property; Sale of Owned Facility.

(a) The Term Note, all interest accrued thereon, all fees, expenses and other charges accrued hereunder, and all other Obligations, if not earlier paid or required to be paid, shall become due and payable, in accordance with the amortization schedule set forth on Exhibit E, with a final maturity of September 25, 2004.

(b) Borrower may prepay all or any portion of the Term Note outstanding, together with all interest accrued on the Term Note and all other Obligations accrued hereunder in respect of the Term Loan, on any date. Borrower may prepay the Term Note without prepaying the Revolving Note.

(c) As part of any prepayment in full of the Term Note, Lender shall release each of the Mortgages and release the Real Property as part of the Collateral, but only upon strict compliance by Borrower with all of the following conditions:

(1) Borrower shall have prepaid the Term Note in full, together with all interest accrued on the Term Note, all other Obligations accrued hereunder in respect of the Term Loan and all other sums or fees which are payable hereunder in connection with the prepayment of the Term Note;

(2) as of the date of such prepayment, there shall exist no Event of Default or any fact, event or circumstance that, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, could constitute an Event of Default; and

(3) Borrower shall have paid to Lender all costs and expenses that Lender has incurred or that Lender estimates it will incur in connection with preparing and filing such release, including, but not limited to, all filing fees and legal fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of Lender’s in-house counsel).

(d) Borrower shall apply all net proceeds of any sale of the Real Property to the prepayment, partial or in full, of the Term Note. In connection with any such sale, Lender shall release its Mortgage upon the particular parcel of Real Property being sold and release such parcel of Real Property as part of the Collateral, but only upon strict compliance by Borrower with all of the following conditions:

(1) Borrower shall provide evidence that all net proceeds of such sale shall be forwarded to Lender to be applied to the payment of interest, all other sums and fees payable in respect of, and principal of the Term Note, together with all interest accrued on the Term Note, all other Obligations accrued hereunder in respect of the Term Loan and all other sums or fees which are payable hereunder in connection with the prepayment of the Term Note;

(e) In the event that the Term Note is not repaid in full on or prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Term Base Rate shall be increased, as of the date of such six (6) month anniversary, by one-quarter of one percent (¼%) per annum and by an additional one-quarter of one percent (¼%) per annum on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter (i.e. April 1, July 1, etc.); provided that if such six-month anniversary falls on the 30th day of the final month of a calendar quarter, then the Term Base Rate shall not be increased on both such anniversary and the first day of the immediately following calendar quarter.

Section 2.10. Joint and Several Liability; Binding Obligations.Each entity constituting Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrower under the Notes and this Agreement. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the Loans would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Borrowers, the joint and several liability of all Borrowers, and the cross-collateralization of the Collateral of all Borrowers. Accordingly, each Borrower, individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of Borrowers under the Loans as a

whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the Loans actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of Collateral provided by, any individual Borrower. In addition, each entity comprising Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each entity comprising Borrower, and shall be binding upon all such entities when taken together.

Section 6.25. Right of First Refusal.

If Borrower has not received an Acceptance Notice within the Option Period, Borrower shall be free to consummate the transaction described in the Offer with the third party providing the Offer (the “Transaction”); provided, however, that the foregoing, and Lender’s failure to respond to issue an Acceptance Notice, shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Loan Documents. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated under similar terms with such person or entity during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of the Op tion Period, or any material term is changed in any material way, the applicable Borrower Entity shall not be permitted to consummate the Transaction without again complying with this Section.

If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Bo rrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(c) Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of the Notes, any of the other Obligations or any other obligation owed to Lender by Borrower or any other person.

Section 8.4. Nature of Remedies.Lender shall have the right to proceed against all or any portion of the Collateral to satisfy in any order (a) the liabilities and Obligations of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or other Affiliates to Lender or any Affiliate of Lender under this Agreement or any other loan documents evidencing financings provided to Borrower or (b) the liabilities and obligations of Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Affiliates to Lender under the Affiliated Loan Documents. All rights and remedies granted Lender under this Agreement and under any agreement referred to in this Agreement, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until the Loans, and all other existing and future liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender, are satisfied in full. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against Borrower, and/or the Collateral, at any time, under any agreement, with any available remedy and in any order. All sums received from Borrower and/or the Collateral in respect of the Loans may be applied by Lender to the any other liabilities and obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and the Affiliated Loan Documents in such order of application and in such amounts as Lender shall deem appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any Person for any of the Obligations.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Expenses and Taxes.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay, whether or not the Closing occurs, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with due diligence and analysis, examination and appraisals, documentation, negotiation and closing of the Loans, including but not limited to all actual legal, audit and appraisal fees and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, legal review and execution of each of the Loan Documents, including but not limited to UCC and judgment lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment lien searches. In addition, Borrower shall pay all such fees associated with any amendments, modifications and terminations to the Loan Documents following Closing. If Lender uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes, Borrower further agrees that its Obligations under the Loan Documents include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Lender for the work performed.

(b) Borrower also agrees to pay all out-of-pocket charges and expenses incurred by Lender (including the fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel) in connection with the enforcement, protection or preservation of any right or claim of Lender, the termination of this

Agreement, the termination of any Liens of Lender on the Collateral, or the collection of any amounts due under the Loan Documents. If Lender uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes (i.e., for any task in connection with the enforcement, protection or preservation of any right or claim of Lender and the collection of any amounts due under its Loan Documents), Borrower further agrees that its Obligations under the Loan Documents include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Lender for the work performed.

(c) Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon or measured by Lender’s income or revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the recording of the security documents therefor. The obligations of Borrower under this clause (c) shall survive the payment of Borrower’s indebtedness under this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.2. Entire Agreement; Amendments.This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to their subject matter and supersede all prior written or oral agreements, understandings, representations and warranties made with respect thereto. No amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement nor any waiver of any provision thereof shall be made except in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Section 9.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Rights.No waiver by any party to this Agreement of any one or more defaults by the other party in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default or defaults, whether of a like or different nature. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, nor acceptance of partial performance or partial payment, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any party to this Agreement at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 9.4. Notices.Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and personally delivered, mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested and postage prepaid), sent by telecopier (with a confirming copy sent by regular mail), or sent by prepaid overnight courier service, and addressed to the relevant party at its address set forth below, or at such other address as such party may, by written notice, designate as its address for purposes of notice under this Agreement:

Section 9.5. Severability.If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to any party or circumstance shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such term, covenant, or condition to parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term, covenant or condition shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon determination that any such term is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance funds to Borrower under this Agreement until the parties to this Agreement amend this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a valid and enforceable manner.

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns.This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns and shall bind all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Lender may sell, assign, transfer, or participate any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without notice to or consent of Borrower.

Section 9.7. Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute

but one instrument.

Section 9.8. Interpretation.No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be interpreted or construed against any party because that party or its legal representative drafted that provision. The titles of the paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. Any pronoun used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include singular and plural and masculine, feminine and neuter gender as the case may be. The words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” shall be deemed to refer to this entire Agreement, except as the context otherwise requires.

Section 9.9. Survival of Terms.All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, and in any certificates and other instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender and shall survive the making by Lender of the Loans contemplated by this Agreement and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect until all liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender are satisfied in full.

Section 9.10. Release of Lender. For and in consideration of the Loans and each advance or other financial accommodation hereunder, each Borrower, voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally, and irrevocably, with specific and express intent, for and on behalf of itself and its agents, attorneys, heirs, successors, and assigns (collectively the “Releasing Parties”) does hereby fully and completely release, acquit and forever discharge Lender, and its successors, assigns, heirs, affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, principals, directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents (hereinafter called the “Lender Parties”), and any other person, firm, business, corporation, insurer, or association which may be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of the Lender Parties, or who may be liable for the injury or damage resulting therefrom (collectively the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, disputes, damages, claims, obligations, liabilities, costs, expenses and demands of any kind whatsoever, at law or in equity, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, vested or contingent, choate or inchoate, known or unknown that the Releasing Parties (or any of them) have or may have, against the Released Parties or any of them (whether directly or indirectly) based upon any fact, event or circumstance which existed or occurred on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing release is a material inducement to Lender’s decision to extend to Borrower the financial accommodations hereunder and has been relied upon by Lender in agreeing to make the Loans and in making each advance of Loans proceeds hereunder.

Section 9.11. Time.Whenever Borrower is required to make any payment or perform any act on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday under the laws of the State of Maryland (or other jurisdiction where Borrower is required to make the payment or perform the act), the payment may be made or the act performed on the next Business Day. Time is of the essence in Borrower’s performance under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents.

Section 9.12. Commissions.The transaction contemplated by this Agreement was brought about by Lender and Borrower acting as principals and without any brokers, agents, or finders being the effective procuring cause. Borrower and Lender each represent and warrant to

the other that it has not committed such other to the payment of any brokerage fee, commission, or charge in connection with this transaction. If any such claim is made on Lender by any broker, finder, or agent or other person, Borrower will indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless from and against the claim and will defend any action to recover on that claim, at Borrower’s cost and expense, including Lender’s counsel fees. Borrower further agrees that until any such claim or demand is adjudicated in Lender’s favor, the amount demanded will be deemed a liability of Borrower under this Agreement, secured by the Collateral.

Section 9.13. Third Parties.No rights are intended to be created under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor, or incidental beneficiary of Borrower. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a delegation to Lender of Borrower’s duty of performance, including without limitation Borrower’s duties under any account or contract in which Lender has a security interest.

Section 9.14. Discharge of Borrower’s Obligations.Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to do so, to: (a) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral as required under this Agreement; (b) pay for the performance of any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement; (c) discharge taxes, Liens, security interests, or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (d) pay for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral. Expenses and advances shall be added to the Loans, until reimbursed to Lender and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any such payments and advances by Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of an Event of Default.

Section 9.15. Information to Participants.Lender may divulge to any participant it may obtain in the Loans, or any portion of the Loans, all information, and furnish to such participant copies of reports, financial statements, certificates, and documents obtained under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 9.16. Indemnity.Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend (with counsel acceptable to Lender) and hold harmless Lender, its Affiliates and the partners, officers, agents and employees of either (collectively, “Indemnitee”) from and against any liability, loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for both in-house and outside counsel), claim, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or incurred by Lender or in which Lender may ever be or become involved (whether as a party, witness or otherwise) (a) arising from Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under this Agreement, (b) arising from the breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in Article IV of this Agreement, (c) by reason of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (d) relating to claims of any Person with respect to the Collateral, or (e) arising out of the issuance of, any claim relating to, the exercise of any right of remedy arising out of, or any other act or omission in connection with (including on the part of a Beneficiary) any Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligation of Borrower under this Section 9.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this

Agreement.

Section 9.17. Appointment of Agent under this Agreement.

(a) Each of the entities comprising Borrower (other than Correctional Services Corporation) hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Correctional Services Corporation as agent to request and receive advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of each such entity pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from Lender in the name or on behalf of each such entity. Lender may disburse proceeds of the Loans to the bank account of any one or more of such entities without notice to any of the other entities comprising Borrower or any other Person at any time obligated on or in respect of the Obligations.

(b) Each of the entities comprising Borrower (other than Correctional Services Corporation) hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Correctional Services Corporation as agent to receive statements of account and all other notices from Lender with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) No purported termination of the appointment of Correctional Services Corporation as agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of Lender.

Section 9.18. Lender Approvals.Unless expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Lender with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 9.18a. Further Assurances.Borrower hereby agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Lender or any of its agents to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under this Agreement with respect to any portion of such collateral.

Section 9.19. Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UCC PROVIDES FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF BORROWER’S STATE OF ORGANIZATION, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. IF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE IS COMMENCED BY LENDER IN THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND, BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. ANY PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE DULY SERVED IF MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL,

POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 9.4. OR IF SERVED BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 9.20. Cooperation in Discovery and Litigation. In any litigation, trial, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all then-current directors, officers and employees of Borrower or of its Affiliates shall be deemed to be employees or managing agents of Borrower for purposes of all applicable law or court rules regarding the production of witnesses by notice for testimony (whether in a deposition, at trial or otherwise). Borrower agrees that Lender’s counsel in any such dispute resolution proceeding may examine any of these individuals as if under cross-examination and that any discovery deposition of any of them may be used in that proceeding as if it were an evidence deposition. Borrower in any event will use all commercially reasonable efforts to produce in any such dispute resolution proceeding, at the time and in the manner requested by Lender, in accordance with the rules of discovery of the court in which such proceeding is being conducted, all Persons, documents (whether in tangible, electronic or other form) or other things under its control and relating to the dispute in any jurisdiction that recognizes that (or any similar) distinction.

Section 9.21. Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY (A) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, BY BORROWER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND REQUESTED TO SUBMIT THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, SO AS TO SERVE AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF BORROWER’S WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, BORROWER HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER (INCLUDING LENDER’S COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO BORROWER THAT LENDER WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.

Section 9.22. Confession of Judgment. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HEREUNDER, BORROWER AUTHORIZES ANY ATTORNEY ADMITTED TO PRACTICE BEFORE ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE UNITED STATES OR THE CLERK OF SUCH COURT TO APPEAR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER IN ANY COURT IN ONE OR MORE PROCEEDINGS, OR BEFORE ANY CLERK THEREOF OR PROTHONOTARY OR OTHER COURT OFFICIAL, AND TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER IN FAVOR OF LENDER IN THE FULL AMOUNT DUE ON THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING PRINCIPAL, ACCRUED INTEREST AND ANY AND ALL CHARGES, FEES AND COSTS) PLUS

REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, PLUS COURT COSTS, ALL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR OPPORTUNITY OF BORROWER FOR PRIOR HEARING. BORROWER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT VENUE AND JURISDICTION SHALL BE PROPER IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ANY COUNTY OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR OF BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND. BORROWER WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ANY AND EVERY STATUTE, ORDINANCE, OR RULE OF COURT WHICH MAY BE LAWFULLY WAIVED CONFERRING UPON BORROWER ANY RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE OF EXEMPTION, HOMESTEAD RIGHTS, STAY OF EXECUTION, OR SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHER RELIEF FROM THE ENFORCEMENT OR IMMEDIATE ENFORCEMENT OF A JUDGMENT OR RELATED PROCEEDINGS ON A JUDGMENT. THE AUTHORITY AND POWER TO APPEAR FOR AND ENTER JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE OR MORE EXERCISES THEREOF, OR BY ANY IMPERFECT EXERCISE THEREOF, AND SHALL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED PURSUANT THERETO; SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER MAY BE EXERCISED ON ONE OR MORE OCCASIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, IN THE SAME OR DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS, AS OFTEN AS LENDER SHALL DEEM NECESSARY, CONVENIENT, OR PROPER.

Additional Letter of Credit Provisions

(a) Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit (and any proposed amendments thereto) sent to Borrower, as well as all other instruments and documents delivered to Borrower from time to time in connection with any Letter of Credit, and, in the event Borrower has any claim of non-compliance with the instructions or of any discrepancy or other irregularity or any objection to any action taken or proposed to be taken by Lender or Issuing Party with respect to any Letter of Credit, Borrower will notify Lender thereof in writing within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of a copy of such Letter of Credit, any amendments, renewals or extensions thereto, or such instruments or documents or notice of any such proposed action, and Borrower will conclusively be deemed to have waived any such claim against the Indemnitees, unless such notice is given as aforesaid. This section is intended to substitute three (3) Business Days for the “not unreasonable time period” set forth in Rule 5.09 of ISP 98 (as defined below).

(b) The obligation of Borrower to pay the Letter of Credit Obligations shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid under all circumstances strictly in accordance with the terms of this Amendment and the Loan Agreement notwithstanding any fact, event or circumstance described in this subparagraph. Neither Lender nor any other Indemnified Party shall be responsible for, and neither Lender’s powers and rights hereunder nor Borrower’s obligations shall be affected by:

	(i)		any act or omission pursuant to Borrower’s instructions;

	(ii)		any other act or omission of any Indemnified Party or Issuing Party other than any those arising from its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct;

	(iii)		the validity, accuracy or genuineness of LC Drafts, documents or required statements, even if such LC Drafts, documents or statements should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (and notwithstanding that Borrower shall have notified Lender or Issuing Party thereof);

	(iv)		failure of any LC Draft to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit;

	(v)		errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission of delivery of any messages however sent and whether or not in code or otherwise;

	(vi)		any act, default, omission, insolvency or failure in business of any other person (including any agent, subcontractor or employee) or any consequences arising from causes beyond Lender’s control;

	(vii)		any acts or omissions of any Beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or transferee of any Letter of Credit, if transferable;

	(viii)		any act or omission of Lender or Issuing Party required or permitted under any (1) law or practice to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including ISP 98), (2) applicable order, ruling or decree of any court, arbitrator or

governmental agency, or (3) published statement or interpretation on a matter of law or practice (including ISP 98);

	(ix)		honor or other recognition of a presentation or demand that includes forged or fraudulent documents or that is otherwise affected by the fraudulent, bad faith, or illegal conduct of a Beneficiary or other person (excluding Lender’s employees), including payment to a person who forges the signature of a Beneficiary or the signature of an assignee of a Letter of Credit’s proceeds;

	(x)		honor of a presentation without regard to any nondocumentary condition(s) in a Letter of Credit, regardless of whether Rule 4.11 of ISP 98 applies;

	(xi)		dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to be honored;

	(xii)		the lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

	(xiii)		any amendment to waiver of or any consent or departure from all or any of the provisions of the Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

	(xiv)		the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower, its Affiliates or any other Person may at any time have against any Beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, Lender, Issuing Party or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreements or transactions; or

	(xv)		any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Lender, Issuing Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender and Issuing Party may (x) act in reliance on any oral, telephone, telegraphic, electronic, facsimile or written request, notice or instruction believed in good faith to be from or have been authorized by Borrower, (y) receive, accept or pay as complying with the terms of a Letter of Credit any LC Draft or other document, otherwise in order, which is signed by or issued to any person or entity acting as the representative of, or in the place of, the party in whose name such Letter of Credit provides that any LC Draft or other document should be drawn or issued and (z) waive any stipulation that Issuing Party shall accept or pay any LC Draft, and Lender may then accept presentation of an LC Draft or other document for payment directly. It is understood and agreed by Borrower that Lender and Issuing Party may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. As between Borrower and any Indemnified Party, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, Beneficiary thereof. Borrower agrees that in any action now or hereafter arising from an alleged breach, under this Agreement or otherwise, with respect to any Letter of Credit by any Indemnified Party, the only damages that may be sought are those which are direct and reasonably foreseeable as the probable result of any breach thereof. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to indirect, consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages or lost anticipated profits (whether against Lender or any other

Indemnified Party) in respect of any present or future breach by Lender or such Indemnified Party, under the Agreement or otherwise, with respect to any Letter of Credit, even if Lender or Issuing Party have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Borrower must in all instances mitigate damages claimed against any Indemnified Party with respect to any Letter of Credit. If Lender or Issuing Party honors an LC Draft or presentation under the Letter of Credit for which Borrower claims it is not obligated to reimburse Lender, Borrower shall nonetheless pay to Lender the amount paid by Lender to or by Issuing Party, without prejudice to Borrower’s claims against Lender (except to the extent waived or limited hereby) to recover fees and costs paid by Borrower with respect to the honored presentation plus any direct damages resulting therefrom which Borrower is unable to avoid or reduce and which are permitted to be recovered under this paragraph. Borrower ’s prevailing in an action based on forgery or fraud of Beneficiary or other presenter does not relieve Borrower from its obligation to pay Lender’s and Issuing Party’s costs and expenses in contesting the entry or maintenance of injunctive relief.

(c) Unless Lender or Issuing Party is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Lender and Issuing Party may assume that any Beneficiary or other presenter acts in good faith and that any presentation or other demand is nonfraudulent.

(d) Unless a Letter of Credit specifically permits and Lender specifically agrees, Lender and Issuing Party need not check the authenticity or authority of any purported Beneficiary’s signature, even if in other transactions Beneficiary is a customer or its signature is otherwise known to Lender or Issuing Party.

(g) Unless specifically committed to do so in a writing signed by Lender, Lender and Issuing Party need not consent to any amendment of a Letter of Credit. Lender or Issuing Party may, without authorization from or notice to Borrower, send a notice of non-extension to Beneficiary under a Letter of Credit if it provides for automatic extension. Any notice of dishonor given by Lender or Issuing Party within six (6) Business Days after presentation of documents to Issuing Party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. This section is intended to substitute six (6) Business Days for the three (3) Business Days set forth in Rule 5.01a of ISP 98.

(g) Notwithstanding any waiver by Borrower of a discrepancy in an LC Draft, document or required statement, each of Lender and Issuing Party, each acting alone, has the right in its sole judgement, to decline to approve any such discrepancy and to refuse payment on that basis under the applicable Letter of Credit.

(h) Lender may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any subsidiary of Lender, in each case without prior notice to Borrower; provided that such assignment and delegation does not diminish Borrower’s rights or increase Borrower’s duties hereunder.

(i) No Letter of Credit shall be issued hereunder providing for the acceptance of time LC Drafts or the incurrence of deferred payment undertakings.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, if Borrower approves the issuance of a Letter of Credit requiring payment of a LC Draft on the same day on which such LC Draft is presented, Issuing Party shall be entitled to honor such LC Draft without

review or examination by Borrower and Borrower waives all defenses to reimbursement thereof based on irregularities that may have been revealed by Borrower’s review or examination.

(k) Borrower is responsible for preparing or approving the text of any Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Party and as received by Beneficiary. Lender’s or Issuing Party’s recommendation or drafting of text or Lender’s or Issuing Party’s use or non-use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s ultimate responsibility for the final text and its receipt by Beneficiary. Borrower is responsible for the effect, or lack of effect under ISP 98, Rule 4.11 or applicable law, of a provision in any Letter of Credit that requires Lender or Issuing Party to verify facts rather than examine documents or that fails to identify the documents to which the provision applies. Borrower is responsible for including suitable provisions in the underlying agreement that permit Borrower to review the text of any Letter of Credit as received by Beneficiary and that describe the circumstances under which a drawing under a Letter of Credit may be made, Letter of Credit proceeds may be applied to the underlying agreement, and part or all of those proceeds may be returned. Borrower accepts the risk that the text of any Letter of Credit is consistent with the underlying obligation, suitable for Borrower’s purposes, and received by the designated Beneficiary in time to permit such Beneficiary and Borrower to review such Letter of Credit and to request any desired amendments.

(l) If Lender or Issuing Party is now or hereafter becomes subject to any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with, or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender or Issuing Party, or any other condition is imposed upon Lender or Issuing Party which imposes a cost upon Lender or Issuing Party, and the result, in the determination of Lender or Issuing Party is to increase the cost to Lender or Issuing Party of maintaining such Letter of Credit or paying or funding the payment of any LC Draft thereunder, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable, directly or indirectly, by Lender hereunder or by Issuing Party under the Letter of Credit, Borrower will pay to Lender upon demand such amounts required to compensate Lender and Issuer for such increased cost or reduction. In making the determinations contemplated hereunder, Lender and Issuing Party may make such estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like which Lender or Issuing Party in good faith determines to be appropriate, but Lender’s or Issuing Party’s selection thereof, and Lender’s or Issuing Party’s determinations based thereon, shall be final and binding and conclusive upon Borrower.

(m) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, Lender and Issuing Party reserve the right to decline any instruction provided by Borrower if, in its discretion, Lender or Issuing Party determines that the carrying out of such instruction contravenes Lender’s or Issuing Party’s customary procedures or policy, ISP 98 or any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(n) Each Letter of Credit and, to the extent applicable and not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement, shall be subject to the International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (“ISP 98”), and the same are incorporated herein by reference. Borrower is responsible for knowing applicable letter of credit law and practice, including ISP 98. Solely for purposes of interpreting the ISP 98’s application to this Amendment and the Letter of Credit issued hereunder, Lender and Issuing Party shall be deemed to be a “bank” as such term is used in ISP 98. To the extent permitted by applicable law,

this Agreement shall prevail in case of a conflict with applicable law or ISP 98, and ISP 98 shall prevail in case of a conflict with applicable law.
