(v) Lender's election to reduce the Commitment Amount by the Year 2000 Reduction Amount or the Year 2001 Reduction Amount is without prejudice to any right or remedy Lender may have for a default of Borrower, including without limitation, a default arising from Borrower's failure to satisfy conditions to advances. It is understood, however, that neither Borrower's mere failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions precedent to advances set forth in Section 2.4 where such failure is not otherwise a default hereunder, nor Borrower's mere failure to satisfy the Draw Down Requirement for any year shall, of itself, constitute a default under the Loan Documents. (b) Upon the request of Borrower and the satisfaction of the requirements of this Amended Loan Agreement, Lender agrees to issue one or more standby letters of credit (each a "Letter of Credit") for the account of Borrower to support Borrower's leasing requirements or other business purposes agreed to by Lender in its reasonable discretion, provided however that, by way of example and not limitation, Lender will not agree to issue any Letter of Credit for purposes of credit enhancement in connection with loans or extension of credit to any Borrower Party by other lenders nor to issue any Letter of Credit or permit any other borrowing hereunder which will cause the Commitment Amount to be exceeded at any time; however, if an unfunded Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled at a time when draws are otherwise still permitted hereunder, then Borrower may reborrow (or request Letters of Credit as to) the principal amount made available by expiration or cancellation of such Letter of Credit. (i) The commitment to issue Letters of Credit shall, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Amended Loan Agreement, expire on December 31, 2002. Any Letter of Credit issued: (a) in calendar year 2000 shall expire no later than December 31, 2007; (b) in calendar year 2001 shall expire no later than December 31, 2008; and (c) in calendar year 2002 shall expire no later than December 31, 2009.

(iii) Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance, and in favor of beneficiaries, satisfactory to Lender. Lender may refuse to issue any Letter of Credit for commercially reasonable considerations, including without limitation, the nature or terms of the transaction or the proposed beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, or in connection with any transaction where Lender, due to the beneficiary or the nationality or residence of the beneficiary, would be prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or order from issuing such Letter of Credit. (iv) Borrower shall pay all fees, commissions, costs and out-of-pocket expenses charged or incurred by Lender in connection with any Letter of Credit requested by Borrower and all amounts required under the Letter of Credit Documents executed, including -9- without limitation, an annual, non-refundable letter of credit fee of one percent (1%) of the amount of any Letter of Credit issued, payable upon issuance and upon each annual renewal therafter.

Any portion of the amount paid to Lender that is not applied to satisfy the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for draws under any Letters of Credit or any other obligations of Borrower to the Lender, shall be repaid promptly to Borrower without interest. (vi) Borrower shall, upon Lender's request, promptly pay to and reimburse Lender for all costs incurred and payments made by Lender by reason of any future assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee imposed upon Lender as a result of Lender's compliance with any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating to any Letter of Credit. Section 2.3 Security for the Line of Credit. -------------------------------- (a) The Line of Credit will be secured (1) by a continuing first priority lien and security interest in all of the Borrower Parties' personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including without limitation, all Inventory, Equipment, Receivables and Other Intangibles and all of the Borrower Parties' other personal property located at or used in connection with any and all Secured Projects and the Pending Project in Virginia Beach, Virginia pursuant to one or more Security Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment III, and (2) by Assignments of Leases with respect to all Secured Projects, other than the Secured Projects - Maryland, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b), (c) and (d) below. The Collateral shall stand as one general continuing collateral security for all Obligations and may be retained as security by Lender until all Obligations have been satisfied in full at which time the Collateral shall be deemed automatically released by Lender. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that the Collateral described in clause (a)(1) of the foregoing Section 2.3(a) located at the Secured Projects - Maryland is or may be subject to existing consensual, statutory or common law liens or rights of the landlords under the Leases for such projects and that the Borrower Parties have been unable to obtain Landlords' Consents and Agreements subordinating such liens to Lender's rights and security interest under the Loan Documents. With respect to the Secured Projects - Maryland, Lender agrees that those rights and liens existing as of the date hereof in favor of the landlords under the Leases for such Secured Projects - Maryland shall be deemed Permitted Liens, notwithstanding that they are or may be superior to Lender's rights and security interests under the Loan Documents. Lender further agrees that in the event any of the Borrower Parties as tenant under a Lease for a Secured Project - Maryland receives a written notice of default from the landlord asserting that the grant to the Lender of a security interest in the Collateral at such Secured Project - Maryland and/or the filing of a UCC financing statement by the Lender with respect to such Collateral was or is a breach of or default under the Lease, the Lender, as promptly as possible, but no later than five (5) days after receipt of the Borrower's request (with a copy of the written notice of default from the landlord), shall execute and deliver to the relevant -10- Borrower Party a release of such security interest and a UCC termination statement with respect thereto, prepared and filed, as applicable, by the Borrower Party, at Borrower Party's sole cost and expense. (c) All New Projects, other than Build-to-Suit Projects, shall be Secured Projects for which a Security Agreement and an Assignment of Lease are required; provided, however that with respect to a Secured Project located within a shopping mall, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the landlord to an Assignment of Lease, but if Borrower is unable after reasonable efforts to do so, the requirement that such New Project be a Secured Project is waived. The Schedule of Leases attached hereto as Exhibit A identifies each parcel of real property presently leased by the Borrower Parties with respect to Existing Projects and Pending Projects. The Borrower Parties shall deliver legal descriptions for each New Project as soon as practicable after a location is identified and a lease is signed, and each such New Project shall be added to the Schedule of Leases and, if applicable, designated as a Secured Project by asterisk.

(c) Neither Borrower's failure to maintain the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for any quarter nor its failure to meet the Annualized DSC Ratio for the first or second quarter of any year shall be a default under the Loan Documents if, during the immediately succeeding quarter, Borrower achieves a material improvement in the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and demonstrates a reasonable prospect of achieving the Debt Service Coverage Ratio by the beginning of the next quarter.

The unpaid principal balance of this Note outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the variable rate equal to the Prime Rate (hereinafter defined) plus one-half of one percent (.50%) per annum to be adjusted as and when such Prime Rate changes. The Prime Rate is equal to the rate reported in The Wall Street Journal in its "Money Rates" column as the "Prime Rate" and, if more than one rate or a range of rates are reported as the "Prime Rate," the highest such rate, changing as and when such rate shall change. If The Wall Street Journal shall cease to publish the "Prime Rate," the "Prime Rate" shall mean that rate announced from time to time by the Bank as its Commercial Base Rate of Interest. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the "Prime Rate" and the Commercial Base Rate of Interest are references used by the Bank in determining interest rates on certain loans and are not intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged on any extension of credit to any customer. Borrower shall pay the principal and interest hereunder as follows: The Year 2000 Note shall be payable interest only, monthly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month through December 1, 2001. Commencing on January 1, 2002 and on the first day of each subsequent month through December 1, 2007, Borrower shall pay an installment of principal equal to 1/72 of the principal balance of the Year 2000 Note as of December 31, 2001, plus accrued interest. All principal, interest and other amounts due under the Year 200 Note shall be due and payable in full on December 31, 2007. The Year 2001 Note shall be payable interest only, monthly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month through December 1, 2002. Commencing on January 1, 2003 and on the first day of each subsequent month through December 1, 2008, Borrower shall pay an installment of principal equal to 1/72 of the principal balance of the Year 2001 Note as of December 31, -I.1- 2002, plus accrued interest. All principal, interest and other amounts due under the Year 2001 Note shall be due and payable in full on December 31, 2008. The Year 2002 Note shall be payable interest only, monthly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month through December 1, 2003. Commencing on January 1, 2004 and on the first day of each subsequent month through December 1, 2009, Borrower shall pay an installment of principal equal to 1/72 of the principal balance of the Year 2002 Note as of December 31, 2003, plus accrued interest. All principal, interest and other amounts due under the Year 2002 Note shall be due and payable in full on December 31, 2009. In addition, the undersigned promises to pay to Bank, or order, a late fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of any installment past due for ten (10) or more days. When any installment payment is past due for ten (10) or more days, subsequent payments shall first be applied to the past due balance. All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. This Note is given by the undersigned in connection with the following agreements between the undersigned and the Bank: Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated May ___, 2000 between Bank, the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties (defined therein) (the "Loan Agreement"); Security Agreement dated as of even date with the Loan Agreement conveying a security interest in favor of Bank given by Borrower (the "Security Agreement"), Assignments of Leasehold as Collateral dated various dates, from Borrower to Bank assigning to Bank Borrower's interests as tenant under various leases (the "Lease Assignments"); and Financing Statements. All of the terms, conditions and covenants of the above described agreements (collectively, the "Agreements") are expressly made a part of this Note by reference in the same manner and with the same effect as if set forth herein at length and any holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of and remedies provided in the Agreements and any other agreements by and between the undersigned and the Bank. No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or of any other right on any future occasion. Every one of the undersigned and every endorser or guarantor of this Note regardless of the time, order or place of signing waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any one or more extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any other indulgences, to any substitutions, exchanges or releases of collateral if at any time there be available to the holder collateral for this Note, and to the additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily liable. If an event of default under the Loan Agreement shall occur, then such event shall be a default hereunder and the Bank may, by notice to Borrower, declare this Note, all interest thereon and principal and other amounts due thereunder and all other amounts payable under the Agreements, to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon this Note, all such interest and principal and other amounts due thereunder and all such other Obligations shall become and be -I.2- forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. From and after any event of default hereunder, at the option of the Bank, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum ("Default Rate"), provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland; and further provided that such rate shall apply after judgment. In the event of any default, the then remaining unpaid principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest then outstanding shall bear interest at the Default Rate called for hereunder until such principal and interest have been paid in full. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder. If this Note is placed with an attorney for collection, the undersigned agrees to pay, in addition to principal and interest, all costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. All obligations of the undersigned and of any Obligor shall bind his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and/or assigns. Use of the masculine pronoun herein shall include the feminine and the neuter, and also the plural. If more than one party shall execute this Note, the term "undersigned" as used herein shall mean all the parties signing this Note and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note. All of the undersigned hereby waive all exemptions and homestead laws. The proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note may be paid to any one or more of the undersigned. From time to time the maturity date of this Note may be extended, or this Note may be renewed in whole or in part, or a new note of different form may be substituted for this Note, or the rate of interest may be modified, or changes may be made in consideration of loan extensions, and the holder hereof, from time to time may waive or surrender, either in whole or in part any rights, guaranties, security interest or liens, given for the benefit of the holder in connection with the payment and the securing the payment of this Note; but no such occurrence shall in any manner affect, limit, modify, or otherwise impair any rights, guaranties or security of the holder not specifically waived, released, or surrendered in writing, nor shall the undersigned r maker, or any guarantor, endorser, or any person who is or might be liable hereon, either primarily or contingently, be released from such event. The holder hereof, from time to time, shall have the unlimited right to release any person who might be liable hereon, and such release shall not affect or discharge the liability of any other person who is or might be liable hereon. -I.3- No waivers and modifications shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the Bank. The Bank may, at its option, charge any fees for the modification, renewal, extension, or amendment of any of the terms of the Note permitted by applicable law. In case of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement, the priority of controlling terms shall be first this Note, then the Loan Agreement.. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland; provided however that Bank's remedies against any Collateral located in any other jurisdiction shall be interpreted, construed, applied and enforced according to and governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which such property is located, and the Borrower hereby submits to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located therein in connection with any foreclosure or enforcement proceeding undertaken in connection with the Borrower's property.

Tenant shall take any reasonable steps deemed necessary or advisable by Bank to preserve the rights of Bank against all parties having or acquiring any prior or subsequent right or interest in and to the Collateral and Tenant hereby waives any obligation of Bank to personally take any such steps. 5. Bank may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral upon an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) without any necessity on its part first to realize upon or enforce any of the security now or hereafter held for any such obligation, and Tenant and Borrower each hereby waive (i) any right to require Bank to proceed against any person or to pursue any other remedy, and (ii) all suretyship defenses or other defenses in the nature thereof. 6. The term "Event of Default" as used in this Assignment of Leasehold as Collateral shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Loan Agreement. 7.

At the request of Bank, Tenant shall execute such further documents as Bank may from time to time require to record or perfect the assignment set forth herein or to more fully carry out the intent hereof including, without limitation, an assignment of the Lease and/or any or all of the property comprising the Collateral to assign, transfer and/or convey the same to a purchaser at a foreclosure or other sale or other disposition of any such Collateral instituted by Bank upon an Event of Default. 9. Upon an Event of Default, Bank shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available at law or in equity or under this Assignment of Leasehold as Collateral and under the Landlord's Consent. All rights and remedies conferred on Bank hereby or thereby are in addition to those granted to Bank by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the jurisdiction where the Collateral is located and/or any other law, it being intended that this instrument shall constitute, inter alia, a security agreement with respect to ----- ---- the Collateral. Any notices required under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law shall be deemed reasonable if given by Bank in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 13 hereof at least five (5) days prior to the disposition of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and, in reference to a private sale, need state only that Bank intends to negotiate such sale. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints any attorney admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia appointed in writing by Bank for such purpose, as Tenant's true and lawful Attorney-in-Fact, in Tenant's name and behalf, to sign, certify under oath, and/or acknowledge an assignment of sale of the Lease or of Tenant's leasehold interest and/or any -II.3- and all other instruments necessary or appropriate to implement the covenants and agreements of this Assignment of Leasehold as Collateral, said power being irrevocable and coupled with an interest so long as the Obligations remain outstanding or undischarged, in whole or in part. 10. This Assignment of Leasehold as Collateral shall not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom any change, modification or discharge is sought. 11. This instrument shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and (subject to the provisions hereof, the Landlord's Consent and the Loan Documents) assigns. 12. The provisions of this agreement shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the State of Maryland, except as set forth below, without regard to any choice of law principles which, but for this provision, would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction and regardless of where executed or delivered, where payable or paid, where any cause of action accrues in connection with this transaction, where any action or other proceeding involving this agreement is instituted or pending, or whether the laws of the State of Maryland otherwise would apply the laws of another jurisdiction; provided, however, that Bank's remedies against any property securing the Loan located outside the State of Maryland will be enforced according to the applicable procedural laws and requirements, if any, of the state where such property is situated.

The Bank shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract, agreement, warranty or obligation by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement or the receipt by the Bank of any payment relating to any Collateral, nor shall the Bank be required to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Borrower with respect to the Collateral, to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of the performance of any party's obligations with respect to any Collateral. Furthermore, the Bank shall not be required to file any claim or demand to collect any amount due or to enforce the performance of any party's obligations with respect to, the Collateral.

The Bank may upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, without cause or notice, curtail or terminate such authority at any time.

Any cash proceeds (as such term is defined in Section 9-306(1) of the UCC) received by the Bank directly from Account Debtors obligated -III.5- to make payments under Receivables or Other Intangibles pursuant to Section 2.3 or from the Borrower pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.4, whether consisting of checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders, commercial paper or other Proceeds received on account of any Collateral, shall be promptly deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, and until so deposited shall be held in trust for and as the Bank's property and shall not be commingled with any funds of the Borrower not constituting Proceeds of Collateral. The name in which the Cash Collateral Account is carried shall clearly indicate that the funds deposited therein are the property of the Borrower, subject to the security interest of the Bank hereunder. Such Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to be security for the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. The Bank shall have sole dominion and control over the funds deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, and such funds may be withdrawn therefrom only by the Bank; provided, however, that until a Default -------- ------- shall occur, all collected funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, or so much thereof as is not required to make payment of the Obligations which have become due and payable, shall be withdrawn by the Bank on the Business Day next following the day on which the Bank considers the funds deposited therein to be collected funds and disbursed to the Borrower or its order. (b) Upon notice by the Bank to the Borrower that the Cash Collateral Account has been opened, the Borrower shall cause all cash Proceeds collected by it to be delivered to the Bank forthwith upon receipt, in the original form in which received (with such endorsements or assignments as may be necessary to permit collection thereof by the Bank), and for such purpose the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Bank, its officers, employees and authorized agents to endorse and sign the name of the Borrower on all checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment so delivered, and such endorsements or assignments shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been made by the Borrower prior to any endorsement or assignment thereof by the Bank. The Bank may use any convenient or customary means for the purpose of collecting such checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment. Section 2.5 Verification of Receivables. The Bank shall have the right --------------------------- to make test verifications of Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable, and the Borrower agrees to furnish all such assistance and information as the Bank may require in connection therewith. The Borrower at its expense will cause an independent certified public accountant to furnish to the Bank at any time and from time to time promptly upon the Bank's request, the following reports: (i) a reconciliation of all Receivables, (ii) an aging of all Receivables, (iii) trial balances and (iv) a test verification of such Receivables as the Bank may request. Section 2.6 Release of Collateral. --------------------- (a) The Borrower may sell or realize upon or transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral as permitted by Section 4.13, and the security interests of the Bank in such Collateral so sold, realized upon or disposed of (but not in the Proceeds arising from such sale, realization or disposition) shall cease immediately upon such sale, realization or disposition, without any further action on the part of the Bank. The Bank, if requested in writing by the Borrower but at the expense of the Borrower, is hereby authorized and instructed to deliver to the Account Debtor or the purchaser or other transferee of any such Collateral a certificate stating -III.6- that the Bank no longer has a security interest therein, and such Account Debtor or such purchaser or other transferee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such certificate for any and all purposes. (b) Upon the payment in full of all of the Obligations and if there is no commitment by the Bank to make further advances, incur obligations or otherwise give value, the Bank will (as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from the Borrower requesting the same but at the expense of the Borrower) send the Borrower, for each jurisdiction in which a UCC financing statement is on file to perfect the security interests granted to the Bank hereunder, a termination statement to the effect that the Bank no longer claims a security interest under such financing statement. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The Borrower represents and warrants that: Section 3.1 Validity of Security Agreement; Consents. The execution, ---------------------------------------- delivery and performance of this Security Agreement and the creation of the security interests provided for herein (i) are within the Borrower's corporate power, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, on behalf of the Borrower, (iii) are not in contravention of any provision of the Borrower's articles of incorporation or by-laws, (iv) to Borrower's knowledge, do not violate any law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality applicable to the Borrower, (v) to Borrower's knowledge, do not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any property of the Borrower other than in favor of the Bank and (vii) to Borrower's knowledge, do not require the consent or approval of any governmental body, agency or official or other person other than those that have been obtained. This Security Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights generally and by general provisions of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Section 3.2 Title to Collateral. Except for the security interests ------------------- granted to the Bank pursuant to this Security Agreement, the Borrower or a Borrower Party is the sole owner of each item of the Collateral, having good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all Liens, except Permitted Liens. Section 3.3 Validity, Perfection and Priority of Security Interests. ------------------------------------------------------- (a) By complying with Section 4.1, the Borrower will have created a valid security interest in favor of the Bank in all existing Collateral and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral, which security interest (except in respect of motor vehicles for which the exclusive manner of perfecting a security interest therein is by noting such security -III.7- interest in the certificate of title in accordance with local law) would be prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under Section 544(a) of the United States federal Bankruptcy Code. Continuing compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of Section 4.2 will also (i) create valid security interests in all Collateral acquired after the date hereof and in all identifiable Proceeds of such Collateral and (ii) cause such security interests in all Collateral and in all Proceeds which are (A) identifiable cash Proceeds of Collateral covered by financing statements required to be filed hereunder, (B) identifiable Proceeds in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing under the UCC and (C) any Proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account to be duly perfected under the UCC, in each case prior to the claims of a trustee in bankruptcy under the United States federal Bankruptcy Code. (b) With respect to each Secured Project as to which a Landlord's Consent and Agreement is executed and delivered, the security interests of the Bank in the Collateral rank first in priority. Except for Permitted Liens, and other than financing statements or other similar documents perfecting the security interests or deed of trust liens of the Bank, no financing statements, deeds of trust, mortgages or similar documents covering all or any part of the Collateral are on file or of record in any government office in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a security interest in such Collateral, nor is any of the Collateral in the possession of any Person (other than the Borrower) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein. Section 3.4 Enforceability of Receivables and Other Intangibles. To the --------------------------------------------------- best knowledge of the Borrower, each Receivable and Other Intangible is a valid and binding obligation of the related Account Debtor in respect thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general provisions of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and complies with any applicable legal requirements. Section 3.5 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. Schedule 1 ----------------------------------------- correctly sets forth the Borrower's chief executive office and principal place of business of the Borrower and the offices of the Borrower where records concerning Receivables and Other Intangibles are kept.

All Inventory has been and will be produced in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. " 201- 219. No Inventory is evidenced by a negotiable document of title, warehouse receipt or bill of lading. No non-negotiable document of title, warehouse receipt or bill of lading has been issued to any person other than the Borrower, and the Borrower has retained possession of all of such non-negotiable documents, warehouse receipts and bills of lading. No amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by promissory notes or other instruments. The real estate listed in Schedule 3 constitutes all existing Real Estate. -III.8- Section 3.6 Trade Names. Any and all trade names, division names, assumed ----------- names or other names under which the Borrower transacts, or within the four- month period prior to the date hereof has transacted, business are specified on Schedule 4. ARTICLE IV COVENANTS The Borrower covenants and agrees with the Bank that until the payment in full of all Obligations and until there is no commitment by the Bank to make further advances, incur obligations or otherwise give value, the Borrower will comply with the following.
