notice of  acceleration,  demand,  notice of  dishonor,  protest,  and all other
notices with respect thereto.

     0. Consumer Credit. If any Collateral or proceeds  includes  obligations of
third parties to Debtor,  the  transactions  giving rise to the Collateral shall

<PAGE>
every act which Debtor is  obligated  to do or may be required to do  hereunder;
however,  nothing in this paragraph  shall be construed to obligate Bank to take
any action  hereunder nor shall Bank be liable to Debtor for failure to take any
action  hereunder.  This  appointment  shall be deemed a power  coupled  with an
interest and shall not be  terminable as long as the  Obligation is  outstanding
and shall not terminate on the disability or incompetence of Debtor.

     Q.  Waivers by  Debtor.  Debtor  waives  notice of the  creation,  advance,
increase, existence, extension or renewal of, and of any indulgence with respect
to, the Obligation; waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, and protest;
waives notice of the amount of the Obligation outstanding at any time, notice of
any change in financial condition of any person liable for the Obligation or any
part thereof,  notice of any Event of Default,  and all other notices respecting
the Obligation;  and agrees that maturity of the Obligation and any part thereof
may be  accelerated,  extended  or  renewed  one or  more  times  by Bank in its
discretion,  without  notice to Debtor.  Debtor waives any right to require that
any action be brought  against any other person or to require that resort be had
to any other security or to any balance of any deposit  account.  Debtor further
waives any right of  subrogation  or to enforce any right of action  against any
other Debtor until the Obligation is paid in full.

     R. Other  Parties and Other  Collateral.  No renewal or extension of or any
other indulgence with respect to the Obligation or any part thereof,  no release
of any  security,  no  release  of any person  (including  any maker,  indorser,
guarantor  or  surety)  liable on the  Obligation,  no delay in  enforcement  of
payment, and no delay or omission or lack of diligence or care in exercising any
right or power with  respect  to the  Obligation  or any  security  therefor  or
guaranty  thereof or under this  Agreement  shall in any manner impair or affect
the  rights of Bank  under  the law,  hereunder,  or under  any other  agreement
pertaining  to the  Collateral.  Bank  need not file  suit or assert a claim for
personal  judgment  against any person for any part of the Obligation or seek to
realize  upon any other  security  for the  Obligation,  before  foreclosing  or
otherwise realizing upon the Collateral.  Debtor waives any right to the benefit
of or to  require or  control  application  of any other  security  or  proceeds
thereof,  and agrees  that Bank shall  have no duty or  obligation  to Debtor to
apply to the Obligation any such other security or proceeds thereof.

<PAGE>
     S. Collection and Segregation of Accounts and Right to Notify.  Bank hereby
authorizes  Debtor to  collect  the  Collateral,  subject to the  direction  and
control of Bank,  but Bank may,  without  cause or notice,  curtail or terminate
said authority at any time. Upon notice by Bank, whether oral or in writing,  to
Debtor,  Debtor shall  forthwith upon receipt of all checks,  drafts,  cash, and
other  remittances  in payment of or on account of the  Collateral,  deposit the
same in one or more special accounts  maintained with Bank over which Bank alone
shall have the power of  withdrawal.  The  remittance  of the  proceeds  of such
Collateral  shall  not,  however,  constitute  payment  or  liquidation  of such
Collateral  until Bank shall receive good funds for such proceeds.  Funds placed
in such special  accounts shall be held by Bank as security for all  Obligations
secured  hereunder.  These  proceeds  shall be deposited  in precisely  the form
received,  except  for the  indorsement  of  Debtor  where  necessary  to permit
collection  of  items,  which  indorsement  Debtor  agrees  to make,  and  which
indorsement  Bank is also hereby  authorized,  as attorney-in-  fact, to make on
behalf of Debtor.  In the event Bank has notified  Debtor to make  deposits to a
special account,  pending such deposit, Debtor agrees that it will not commingle
any such  checks,  drafts,  cash or other  remittances  with any  funds or other
property of Debtor, but will hold them separate and apart therefrom, and upon an
express  trust for Bank until  deposit  thereof is made in the special  account.
Bank  will,  from time to time,  apply  the whole or any part of the  Collateral
funds on deposit in this special account against such Obligations as are secured
hereby as Bank may in its sole  discretion  elect. At the sole election of Bank,
any  portion of said funds on deposit in the  special  account  which Bank shall
elect not to apply to the  Obligations,  may be paid over by Bank to Debtor.  At
any time,  whether  Debtor is or is not in  default  hereunder,  Bank may notify
persons  obligated on any Collateral to make payments  directly to Bank and Bank
may take  control  of all  proceeds  of any  Collateral.  Until  Bank  elects to
exercise such rights,  Debtor,  as agent of Bank,  shall collect and enforce all
payments owed on the Collateral.

     T.  Compliance  with State and  Federal  Laws.  Debtor  will  maintain  its
existence,  good standing and qualification to do business,  where required, and
comply  with all laws,  regulations  and  governmental  requirements,  including
without limitation,  environmental laws applicable to it or any of its property,
business operations and transactions.

     U. Environmental Covenants. Debtor shall immediately advise Bank in writing
of  (i)  any-and  all  enforcement,   cleanup,   remedial,   removal,  or  other
governmental or regulatory actions instituted,  completed or threatened pursuant
to any  applicable  federal,  state,  or local laws,  ordinances or  regulations
relating to any Hazardous Materials affecting Debtor's business operations;  and
(ii) all claims made or threatened by any third party against Debtor relating to
damages,  contribution,  cost recovery,  compensation,  loss or injury resulting
from any  Hazardous  Materials.  Debtor  shall  immediately  notify  Bank of any
remedial  action taken by Debtor with respect to Debtor's  business  operations.
Debtor will not use or permit any other party to use any Hazardous  Materials at
any of  Debtor's  places of business  or at any other  property  owned by Debtor
except such materials as are  incidental to Debtor's  normal course of business,
maintenance  and repairs and which are handled in compliance with all applicable
environmental  laws.  Debtor agrees to permit Bank, its agents,  contractors and
employees  to enter and inspect any of Debtor's  places of business or any other
property of Debtor at any reasonable  times upon three (3) days prior notice for
the purposes of conducting an environmental  investigation  and audit (including
taking  physical  samples) to insure that Debtor is complying with this covenant
and  Debtor  shall   reimburse  Bank  on  demand  for  the  costs  of  any  such
environmental  investigation  and audit.  Debtor shall provide Bank, its agents,
contractors,  employees and representatives with access to and copies of any and
all data and documents relating to or dealing with any Hazardous Materials used,
generated,  manufactured,  stored or disposed of by Debtor's business operations
within five (5) days of the request therefor.

Collateral;  set standards from time to time to govern what may be used as after
acquired  Collateral;  designate,  from time to time,  a certain  percent of the
Collateral as the loan value and require Debtor to maintain the Obligation at or
below such figure;  take control of funds generated by the  Collateral,  such as
cash dividends, interest and proceeds or refunds from insurance, and use same to
reduce any part of the  Obligation  and exercise all other rights which an owner
of such  Collateral  may  exercise,  except  the right to vote or dispose of the
Collateral  before  an  Event  of  Default;  at  any  time  transfer  any of the
Collateral  or evidence  thereof into its own name or that of its  nominee;  and
demand, collect, convert, redeem, receipt for, settle,  compromise,  adjust, sue
for, foreclose or realize upon the Collateral, in its own name or in the name of
Debtor,  as Bank may determine.  Bank shall not be liable for failure to collect
any account or instruments,  or for any act or omission on the part of Bank, its
officers, agents or employees, except for its or their own willful misconduct or
gross  negligence.  The foregoing  rights and powers of Bank will be in addition
to,  and not a  limitation  upon,  any  rights  and powers of Bank given by law,
elsewhere  in this  Agreement,  or  otherwise.  If Debtor  fails to maintain any
required  insurance,  to the extent permitted by applicable law Bank may (but is
not obligated to) purchase single interest insurance coverage for the Collateral
which  insurance  may at Bank's option (i) protect only Bank and not provide any
remuneration  or protection for Debtor  directly and (ii) provide  coverage only
after the Obligation has been declared due as herein provided.  The premiums for
any such insurance purchased by Bank shall be a part of the Obligation and shall
bear interest as provided in 3(d) hereof.

     B. Convertible  Collateral.  Bank may present for conversion any Collateral
which is  convertible  into any other  instrument  or  investment  security or a
combination  thereof with cash,  but Bank shall not have any duty to present for
conversion  any  Collateral  unless it shall have received from Debtor  detailed
written  instructions  to that effect at a time reasonably far in advance of the
final conversion date to make such conversion possible.

7. Default.

     A. Event of Default.  An event of default  ("Event of Default") shall occur
if: (i) there is a loss, theft, damage or destruction of any material portion of
the  Collateral  for which there is no insurance  coverage or for which,  in the
opinion of Bank,  there is  insufficient insurance coverage;  (ii) Debtor or any

MDO 71                                                        Approved: 07/01/95

<PAGE>
other obligor on all or part of the Obligation shall fail to timely and properly
pay or observe,  keep or perform any term,  covenant,  agreement or condition in
this Agreement or in any other agreement between Debtor and Bank or between Bank
and any other  obligor on the  Obligation,  including,  but not  limited to, any
other note or instrument,  loan agreement,  security  agreement,  deed of trust,
mortgage,  promissory  note,  guaranty,  certificate,   assignment,  instrument,
document  or  other   agreement   concerning   or  related  to  the   Obligation
(collectively,  the "Loan Documents");  (iii) Debtor or such other obligor shall
fail to timely and properly pay or observe,  keep or perform any term, covenant,
agreement or condition in any agreement  between such party and any affiliate or
subsidiary  of Bank of America  Corporation;  (iv) Debtor or such other  obligor
shall fail to timely and  properly  pay or  observe,  keep or perform  any term,
covenant,  agreement or condition in any lease agreement  between such party and
any lessor  pertaining to premises at which any Collateral is located or stored;
or (v) Debtor or such other  obligor  abandons any leased  premises at which any
Collateral  is located or stored and the  Collateral is either moved without the
prior  written  consent  of  Bank or the  Collateral  remains  at the  abandoned
premises.

     B. Rights and Remedies. If any. Event of Default shall occur, then, in each
and every such case, Bank may, without presentment,  demand, or protest;  notice
of default,  dishonor,  demand,  non-payment,  or  protest;  notice of intent to
accelerate all or any part of the  Obligation;  notice of acceleration of all or
any part of the  Obligation;  or notice of any other kind,  all of which  Debtor
hereby expressly  waives,  (except for any notice required under this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or  applicable  law);  at any time  thereafter  exercise
and/or enforce any of the following rights and remedies at Bank's option:

          i.  Acceleration.  The  Obligation  shall,  at Bank's  option,  become
immediately  due and  payable,  and the  obligation,  if any,  of Bank to permit
further borrowings under the Obligation shall at Bank's option immediately cease
and terminate.

          ii.  Possession and Collection of the Collateral.  At its option:  (a)
take possession or control of, store, lease, operate,  manage, sell, or instruct
any Agent or  Broker to sell or  otherwise  dispose  of,  all or any part of the
Collateral;  (b) notify all parties under any account or contract  right forming
all or any part of the  Collateral to make any payments  otherwise due to Debtor
directly  to Bank;  (c) in Bank's own name,  or in the name of  Debtor,  demand,

MDO 71                                                        Approved: 07/01/95

<PAGE>
collect,  receive,  sue for, and give  receipts  and  releases  for, any and all
amounts due under such accounts and contract rights; (d) indorse as the agent of
Debtor any check, note, chattel paper,  documents, or instruments forming all or
any part of the Collateral; (a) make formal application for transfer to Bank (or
to any assignee of Bank or to any purchaser of any of the  Collateral) of all of
Debtor's permits, licenses, approvals,  agreements, and the like relating to the
Collateral or to Debtor's  business;  (f) take any other action which Bank deems
necessary or desirable to protect and realize upon its security  interest in the
Collateral;  and (g) in  addition  to the  foregoing,  and  not in  substitution
therefor,  exercise  any one or more of the rights and remedies  exercisable  by
Bank under any other  provision of this  Agreement,  under any of the other Loan
Documents, or as provided by applicable law (including,  without limitation, the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Maryland (hereinafter referred to as the
"UCC")). In taking possession of the Collateral Bank may enter Debtor's premises
and otherwise proceed without legal process,  if this can be done without breach
of the peace.

Debtor shall, upon Bank's demand, promptly make the Collateral or other security
available to Bank at a place designated by Bank, which place shall be reasonably
convenient to both parties.

Bank shall not be liable for, nor be prejudiced  by, any loss,  depreciation  or
other damages to the  Collateral,  unless caused by Bank's willful and malicious
act.  Bank  shall  have no duty to take any action to  preserve  or collect  the
Collateral.

          iii. Receiver.  Obtain the appointment of a receiver for all or any of
the Collateral,  Debtor hereby  consenting to the appointment of such a receiver
and agreeing not to oppose any such appointment.

          iv. Right of Set Off. Without notice or demand to Debtor,  set off and
apply  against any and all of the  Obligation  any and all deposits  (general or
special,  time or demand,  provisional or final) and any other indebtedness,  at
any time held or owing by Bank or any of Bank's  agents or  affiliates to or for
the credit of the  account of Debtor or any  guarantor  or  indorser of Debtor's
Obligation.

Bank  shall be  entitled  to  immediate  possession  of all  books  and  records
evidencing  any  Collateral  or  pertaining  to  chattel  paper  covered by this
Agreement and it or its  representatives  shall have the authority to enter upon

MDO 71                                                        Approved: 07/01/95
jt                                                             Revised: 08/30/99
<PAGE>
any premises upon which any of the same, or any Collateral,  may be situated and
remove the same therefrom  without  liability.  Bank may surrender any insurance
policies in the  Collateral  and receive the unearned  premium  thereon.  Debtor
shall be entitled to any surplus and shall be liable to Bank for any deficiency.
The  proceeds  of  any  disposition  after  default  available  to  satisfy  the
Obligation  shall be applied to the  Obligation in such order and in such manner
as Bank in its discretion shall decide.

Debtor specifically  understands and agrees that any sale by Bank of all or part
of the  Collateral  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement  may be effected by
Bank at times and in manners  which could result in the proceeds of such sale as
being  significantly  and materially  less than might have been received if such
sale had occurred at different times or in different manners,  and Debtor hereby
releases Bank and its officers and representatives  from and against any and all
obligations and liabilities arising out of or related to the timing or manner of
any such sale.

If,  in the  opinion  of Bank,  there  is any  question  that a  public  sale or
distribution of any Collateral will violate any state or federal securities law,
Bank  may  offer  and  sell  such  Collateral  in  a  transaction   exempt  from
registration  under federal securities law, and any such sale made in good faith
by Bank shall be deemed "commercially reasonable".

8. General.

     A. Parties Bound. Bank's rights hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its
successors  and assigns.  In the event of any  assignment or transfer by Bank of
any  of the  Obligation  or the  Collateral,  Bank  thereafter  shall  be  fully
discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so assigned or
transferred,  but Bank shall  retain all  rights  and powers  hereby  given with
respect  to  any  of  the  Obligation  or the  Collateral  not  so  assigned  or
transferred.  All  representations,  warranties and agreements of Debtor if more
than one are  joint  and  several  and all shall be  binding  upon the  personal
representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of Debtor.

     B. Waiver.  No delay of Bank in exercising any power or right shall operate
as a waiver  thereof;  nor shall any single or partial  exercise of any power or
right  preclude other or further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other

MDO 71                                                        Approved: 07/01/95
jt                                                             Revised: 08/30/99
<PAGE>
power or right.  No waiver by Bank of any right  hereunder  or of any default by
Debtor shall be binding  upon Bank unless in writing,  and no failure by Bank to
exercise  any power or right  hereunder or waiver of any default by Debtor shall
operate as a waiver of any other or further  exercise  of such right or power or
of any further  default.  Each right,  power and remedy of Bank as provided  for
herein or in any of the Loan Documents, or which shall now or hereafter exist at
law or in equity or by-statute or otherwise,  shall be cumulative and concurrent
and shall be in  addition  to every  other  such  right,  power or  remedy.  The
exercise or beginning of the exercise by Bank of any one or more of such rights,
powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Bank
of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies.

     C.  Agreement  Continuing.  This  Agreement  shall  constitute a continuing
agreement,  applying to all future as well as existing transactions,  whether or
not of the  character  contemplated  at the date of this  Agreement,  and if all
transactions  between  Bank and  Debtor  shall be closed  at any time,  shall be
equally  applicable  to any  new  transactions  thereafter.  Provisions  of this
Agreement,  unless  by their  terms  exclusive,  shall be in  addition  to other
agreements between the parties. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

     D. Definitions. Unless the context indicates otherwise,  definitions in the
UCC apply to words and phrases in this Agreement;  if UCC definitions  conflict,
Article 9 definitions apply.

     E. Notices.  Notice shall be deemed reasonable if mailed postage prepaid at
least five (5) days before the related action (or if the UCC elsewhere specifies
a longer period, such longer period) to the address of Debtor given above, or to
such other  address as any party may  designate  by written  notice to the other
party. Each notice, request and demand shall be deemed given or made, if sent by
mail,  upon the earlier of the date of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in
the U.S. Mail, first class postage prepaid,  or if sent by any other means, upon
delivery.

     F.  Modifications.  No provision hereof shall be modified or limited except
by a written  agreement  expressly  referring  hereto and to the  provisions  so
modified  or  limited  and  signed by Debtor  and Bank.  The  provisions  of the
Agreement  shall not be  modified  or  limited  by course of conduct or usage of
trade.

     G. Applicable Law and Partial Invalidity. This Agreement has been delivered
in the State of Maryland and shall be construed in  accordance  with the laws of
that  State.  Wherever  possible  each  provision  of this  Agreement  shall  be
interpreted  in such manner as to be effective and valid under  applicable  law,
but if any provision of this  Agreement  shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable  law,  such  provision  shall be  ineffective  to the  extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions
or  the   remaining   provisions   of  this   Agreement.   The   invalidity   or
unenforceability  of any  provision  of any  Loan  Document  to  any  person  or
circumstance  shall not affect the  enforceability or validity of such provision
as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

     H.  Financing  Statement.  To the extent  permitted  by  applicable  law, a
carbon,  photographic  or other  reproduction of this Agreement or any financing
statement covering the Collateral shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

     I.  WAIVER OF JURY  TRIAL.  DEBTOR  WAIVES  TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY  ACTION OR
PROCEEDING  TO  WHICH  DEBTOR  AND  BANK MAY BE  PARTIES,  ARISING  OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION  WITH  OR IN ANY  WAY  PERTAINING  TO  THIS  AGREEMENT,  OR THE  LOAN
DOCUMENTS.  IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF
TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS  AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTION OR  PROCEEDINGS,
INCLUDING  CLAIMS AGAINST  PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS  AGREEMENT.  THIS
WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY DEBTOR.

     J.  Controlling  Document.  To the  extent  that  this  Security  Agreement
conflicts  with or is in any way  incompatible  with  any  other  Loan  Document
concerning  the  Obligation,  any  promissory  note shall control over any other
document,  and if such note does not address an issue,  then each other document
shall control to the extent that it deals most specifically with an issue.

     K.  Execution  Under Seal.  This  Agreement is being executed under seal by
Debtor(s).

     L. Additional  Provisions.  See Schedule  attached hereto and  incorporated
hereunder for all purposes.

     M. NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. THIS WRITTEN SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS  REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
