               BORROWER:
                    FACILITY HOLDINGS, INC.
                    a Virginia corporation
                    1817 Abbotsford Road
                    Vienna, VA 23182

               BANK:
                    THE BUSINESS BANK
                    a VIRGINIA  banking corporation
                    8399 LEESBURG PIKE
                    VIENNA, VIRGINIA 22182
                    Tax I.D. # 54-1143403
                    Branch No.01

3.   BACKGROUND. Borrower executed a promissory note payable to the order of
     Bank dated December 10, 1999, (Note) evidencing a loan (Loan) which Note is
     further described as Note number 9010814 in the principal amount of
     $550,000.00. Borrower has requested that this Note be renewed.

4.   PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, Borrower promises to pay to Bank's
     order at its office at the above address, or such other place as Bank may
     designate, the sum of $780,000.00 (Principal) plus interest from November
     1, 2000, on the unpaid principal balance at an annual rate equal to .25
     percentage point above the Special Prime Rate (which rate is hereafter
     defined) until this Note matures or the obligation is accelerated. The
     Special Prime Rate is defined as the Prime Rate as Published in the Wall
     Street Journal, and is quoted by the Wall Street Journal, as adjusted and
     announced or' published from time to time. The Special Prime Rate, plus .25
     percentage points, may also be referred to hereafter as the "Contract
     Rate".

     The Contract Rate is the sum of the Special Prime Rate (8.5%) plus .25
     percentage point. The effective Contract Rate today is 8.75%. The Special
     Prime Rate today is not necessarily the lowest rate at which Bank lends its
     funds. The Special Prime Rate is only an index rate from which interest
     rates actually charged to customers may be measured. The use of the Special
     Prime Rate is for convenience only and does not constitute a commitment by
     Bank to lend money at a preferred rate of interest. The Special Prime Rate
     is a benchmark for pricing certain types of loans. Depending on the
     circumstances, such as the amount and term of the loan, the
     creditworthiness of the borrower or any guarantor, the presence and nature
     of collateral and other relationships between a borrower and Bank, loans
     may be priced at, above or below the Special Prime Rate.

     All adjustments to the Contract Rate will be made on each day that the
     Special Prime Rate changes. Any increase to the Special Prime Rate may be
     carried over to a subsequent adjustment date without resulting in a waiver
     or forfeiture of such adjustment, provided an adjustment to the Contract
     Rate is made within one year from the date of such increase. Any change in
     the Contract Rate will take the form of different payment amounts. After
     maturity or acceleration, the unpaid balance shall bear interest at the
     rate specified in the paragraph in this Note entitled "DEFAULT RATE OF
     INTEREST" until paid in full. If or when no principal amount is
     outstanding, any excess interest shall be refunded to Borrower according to
     the actuarial method. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual
     calendar year and the actual number of days elapsed.

     Accrued Interest Is due and payable In 6 monthly payments on the 1st day of
     each month, beginning December 1, 2000, or the day following If the payment
     day Is a holiday or is a non-business day for Bank. Unless paid prior to
     maturity. the last scheduled payment plus all unpaid principal. accrued
     Interest. costs and expenses are due and payable on June 30, 2001, which Is
     the date of maturity. If the Contract Rate changes, any remaining payments
     may be a different amount All amounts shall be paid in legal U.S. currency.
     Any payment made with a check will constitute payment only when collected.

5.   EFFECT OF PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay this Loan in full. However, no
     partial prepayment shall excuse or defer Borrower's subsequent payments or
     entitle Borrower to a release of any collateral. Interest will cease to
     accrue on the amounts prepaid on the day actually credited by Bank.

6.   RIGHT TO PREPAY. Borrower may prepay in full or in part the unpaid balance
     of the Loan at any time without penalty.

     interest, at Bank's option, shall immediately be increased by 2 percentage
     points (floating with the prime rate) whether or not Bank accelerates the
     maturity, and interest shall accrue thereafter at the resulting rate until
     all obligations under this Note are paid in full. Unless Bank has
     accelerated the maturity, Bank shall, within 10 days following the
     effective date of such interest rate increase, notify Borrower of the fact
     that the interest rate has been increased pursuant to this provision.

10.  REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. On or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at
     the option of Bank, all or any part of the Principal and accrued interest
     on this Note, the Loan and all other obligations which Borrower owes Bank
     shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Bank may
     exercise all rights and remedies provided by law, equity, this Note, any
     mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument and any other security, loan,
     guaranty or surety agreements pertaining to this Note and all other
     obligations of Borrower to Bank. Bank is entitled to all rights and
     remedies provided at law or equity whether or not expressly stated in this
     Note. By choosing any remedy, Bank does not waive its right to an immediate
     use of any other remedy if the event of default continues or occurs again.
     In addition to the remedies provided by law upon default, Bank also has the
     right of set-off against this Note, including but without limiting the
     generality, all money owed by Bank to Borrower, whether or not due.

11.  SET-OFF. Borrower agrees that Bank may exercise Bank's right of set-off to
     pay any or all of the outstanding Principal and accrued interest, costs and
     expenses, attorneys' fees, and advances due and owing on this Note against
     any obligation Bank may have, now or hereafter, to pay money, securities or
     other property to Borrower. This includes, without limitation:

       A. any deposit account balance, securities account balance or certificate
          of deposit balance Borrower has with Bank whether general, special,
          time, savings or checking;
       B. any money owing to Borrower on an item presented to Bank or in Bank's
          possession for collection or exchange; and
       C. any repurchase agreement or any other non-deposit obligation or credit
          in Borrower's favor.

     If any such money, securities or other property is also owned by some other
     person who has not agreed to pay this Note (such as another depositor on a
     joint account) Bank's right of set-off will extend to the amount which
     could be withdrawn or paid directly to Borrower on Borrower's request,
     endorsement or instruction alone. in addition, where Borrower may obtain
     payment from Bank only with the endorsement or consent of someone who has
     not agreed to pay this Note, Bank's right of set-off will extend to
     Borrower's interest in the obligation. Bank's right of set-off will not
     apply to an account or other obligation if it clearly appears that
     Borrower's rights in the obligation are solely as a fiduciary for another,
     or to an account, which by its nature and' applicable law (for example an
     IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account), must be exempt from the
     claims of creditors. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as Borrower's attorney-
     In-fact and authorizes Bank to redeem or obtain payment on any certificate
     of deposit in which Borrower has an interest in order to exercise Bank's
     right of set-off. Such authorization applies to any certificate of deposit
     even if not matured. Borrower further authorizes Bank to withhold any early
     withdrawal penalty without liability in the event such penalty is
     applicable as a result of Bank's set-off against a certificate of deposit
     prior to its maturity.

     Bank's right of set-off may be exercised:
       A. without prior demand or notice;
       B. without regard to the existence or value of any Collateral securing
          this Note; and
       C. without regard to the number or creditworthiness of any other persons
          who have agreed to pay this Note.

     Bank will not be liable for dishonor of a check or other request for
     payment where there are insufficient funds in the account (or other
     obligation) to pay such request because of Bank's exercise of Bank's right
     of set-off. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless from any
     person's claims and the costs and expenses, including without limitation,
     attorneys' fees, incurred as a result of such claims or arising as the
     result of Bank's exercise of Bank's right of set-off.

12.  COLLECTION EXPENSES. On or after an Event of Default, Bank may recover from
     Borrower and all guarantors or any of them, all fees and expenses in
     collecting, enforcing and protecting liabilities and reasonable expenses in
     realizing on any security incurred by Bank, plus expenses of collecting and
     enforcing this Note. Such fees and expenses shall include, but are not
     limited to, filing fees, publication expenses, deposition fees,
     stenographer fees, witness fees and any other court costs. Any such fees
     and expenses shall be added to the Principal of this Note and shall accrue
     interest at the same rate as provided for in this Note.

13.  ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of default, Borrower agrees to pay reasonable
     attorneys' fees incurred by Bank. Whenever a provision is made in this Note
     for the payment of attorneys' fees, such fees shall be payable whether the
     legal services are rendered by a salaried employee of Bank or by
     independent counsel and shall include such fees as are incurred in
     connection with any pretrial proceeding, trial or appeal of the action. Any
     such reasonable attorneys' fees shall be added to the principal amount of
     the Obligations, shall accrue interest at the same rate as the Obligations
     and shall be secured by this Note.
