          iii. On June 15, 2011, Maker shall pay [fraction of $5,000,000] plus accrued interest thereon (less the aggregate amount of any Claims made by Maker which remain unresolved in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) to Payee; and

     (c) To the extent that the amount of any Claim or Special Claim deducted by Maker from an Installment Payment otherwise due under Section 3(a)(ii), Section 3(a)(iii) or Section 3(a)(iv) of this Note does not result in the payment of Losses to a Parent Indemnitee in accordance with ARTICLE VIII of the Merger Agreement, then Maker shall pay the amount of

such deduction from an Installment Payment to Payee within 10 Business Days of such determination.

     4. Manner of Payment. All payments hereunder shall be made by check or wire transfer in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, subject to set-off as set forth in Section 5 below, on the due dates of such payments.

INDEMNIFICATION NOTE OFFSET PERCENTAGE		=		$20,000,000 MINUS THE CASH-OUT INDEMNITY ESCROW AMOUNT, DIVIDED BY $20,000,000

     D. IN THE EVENT ANY PAYMENT IS RECEIVED BY MAKER FROM THE CASH-OUT INDEMNITY ESCROW AMOUNT, MAKER SHALL

INTERIM PAYMENT ON THIS NOTE		=		PAYEE’S PRO RATA PERCENTAGE MULTIPLIED BY THE CASH-OUT INDEMNITY ESCROW AMOUNT RECEIVED BY MAKER

     E. NEITHER THE EXERCISE OF NOR THE FAILURE TO EXERCISE SUCH RIGHT OF SET-OFF WILL CONSTITUTE AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES OR LIMIT MAKER IN ANY MANNER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OTHER REMEDIES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO MAKER UNDER THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR LAW OR EQUITY.

     6. Prepayment. Maker shall be privileged to prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium.

     7. Restrictions on Security Interests.

For purposes of this Note, “Permitted Security Interests” means (a) any security interests granted for the benefit of secured lenders of Maker or its Subsidiaries securing any loans or other obligations under the secured credit facility of Maker, including any extensions, refinancings or replacements therefore; (b) any security interests granted in property that is not on the date of the Closing subject to a security interest granted by Maker or its Subsidiaries; (c) any purchase-money security interests granted to secure obligations incurred to acquire the property subject thereto; and (d) any security interests granted in leases which security interests cover the property leased.

     10. Severability. In case any provision (or any part of any provision) contained in this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or remaining part of the affected provision) of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained herein but only to the extent such provision (or part thereof) is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

     11. Maximum Rate of Interest. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Maker under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment of interest by Payee would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the indebtedness evidenced hereby (or applicable to Maker or Payee) limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected by

Payee on this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Note which are made for the purposes of determining whether such rate of interest exceeds the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of this Note, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and then to the extent that any excess remains, all such excess shall be automatically credited against and in reduction of the principal balance, and any portion of said excess which exceeds that principal balance shall be paid by Payee to Maker, it being the intent of the parties hereto that under no circumstances shall Maker be required to pay any interest in excess of the highest rate permissible under applicable law.

     12. Captions. Section headings and captions in this Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Note. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Note, references in this Note to Sections shall be read as Sections of this Note.

     15. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland (excluding Maryland conflicts of laws rules).

     16. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. MAKER AND PAYEE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIMS OF ANY KIND ARISING UNDER OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS NOTE. MAKER AND PAYEE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WAIVER OF A LEGAL RIGHT AND REPRESENT TO EACH OTHER THAT THESE WAIVERS ARE MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AFTER CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE.
