AGREEMENTS




     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:



     1. Borrower and Lender agree that the Recitals above are a part of this Agreement. Unless
otherwise expressly defined in this Agreement, terms defined in the Chevy Chase Note shall have the
same meaning under this Agreement.



     2. Section 1 (Interest) of the Chevy Chase Note is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:




     “1. Interest.




     Commencing as of August 29, 2009 and continuing until repayment in full of all
sums due hereunder, the unpaid Principal Sum shall bear interest at the fluctuating
rate based on an independent index which is the average of interbank offered rates
for one-month dollar deposits in the London Market as reported in The Wall
Street Journal (the “Index”) plus 500 basis points per annum (the “LIBOR Rate”)
which rate shall be adjusted for any reserve requirements imposed upon the Lender
from time to time. The LIBOR Rate does not necessarily represent the lowest rate of
interest charged by the Lender to borrowers. If the Index becomes unavailable
during the term of this Note, the Lender may designate a substitute index after
giving notice to the Borrower. The LIBOR Rate will be adjusted on the first day of
each month, based on the value of the Index as published in The Wall Street
Journal as of the first business day of each month. All interest payable under
the terms of this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. The
LIBOR Rate shall be in effect for a period of the number of days indicated (each a
“LIBOR Period”), in any case extended to the next succeeding Business Day (as
defined in the Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith) when necessary,
beginning on the date hereof or the expiration date of the then-current LIBOR
Period.”



     3. Section 2 (Payments and Maturity) of the Chevy Chase Note is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:




     “2. Payments and Maturity.




     The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates
provided above, shall be payable as follows:




     (a) Commencing on October 1, 2007 and continuing on the same day of each and
every month thereafter, to and including September 1, 2008, interest only;







2









 









     (b) Commencing on October 1, 2008 and continuing on the same day of each and
every month thereafter, to and including December 1, 2009, principal shall be due
and payable in equal monthly payments of $22,000.00, plus all accrued and unpaid
interest on the outstanding principal balance; and




     (c) Unless sooner paid, the unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest
accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on December 2, 2009.”



     4. Borrower hereby issues, ratifies and confirms the representations, warranties and covenants
contained in the Chevy Chase Note, as amended hereby. Borrower agrees that this Agreement is not
intended to and shall not cause a novation with respect to Loan A any or all of the obligations of
Borrower under the Financing Documents. Except as expressly modified herein, the terms, provisions
and covenants of the Chevy Chase Note are in all other respects hereby ratified and confirmed and
remain in full force and effect.



     5. The Borrower acknowledges and warrants that the Lender has acted in good faith and has
conducted in a commercially reasonable manner its relationships with the Borrower in connection
with this Agreement and generally in connection with the Financing Documents and the obligations
evidenced by the Chevy Chase Note, the Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any claims to the
contrary.



     6. The Borrower shall pay at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered all fees,
commissions, costs, charges, taxes and other expenses incurred by the Lender and its counsel in
connection with this Agreement, including reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel and
all recording fees, taxes and charges.



     7. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns.



     8. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or counterparts, each
of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be deemed to be an original and all taken
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Borrower agrees that Lender may rely on
a telecopy of any signature of Borrower. Lender agrees that Borrower may rely on a telecopy of
this Agreement executed by Lender.
