        Section 2.1.  Terms.

             (a)  The maximum aggregate principal amount of credit extended
   by Lender to Borrower hereunder (the "Loan") that will be outstanding at
   any time is Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the "Maximum
   Loan Amount").  

             (b)  The Loan shall be in the nature of a revolving line of
   credit, and shall include sums advanced and other credit extended by
   Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower from time to time under this
   Article II (each a "Revolving Credit Loan") up to the Maximum Loan Amount
   depending upon the availability in the Borrowing Base, the requests of
   Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.2 below, and on
   such other basis as Lender may reasonably determine.  The outstanding
   principal balance of the Loan may fluctuate from time to time, to be
   reduced by repayments made by Borrower (which may be made without penalty
   or premium), and to be increased by future Revolving Credit Loans,
   advances and other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower,
   and shall be due and payable in full upon the expiration of the Term.  For
   purposes of this Agreement, any determination as to whether there is
   ability within the Borrowing Base for advances or extensions of credit
   shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion and is final and binding
   upon Borrower.

             (c)  At Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a
   promissory note evidencing Borrower's unconditional obligation to repay
   Lender for Revolving Credit Loans, advances, and other extensions of
   credit made under the Loan, in the form of Exhibit A to this Agreement
   (the "Note"), dated the date hereof, payable to the order of Lender in
   accordance with the terms thereof.  The Note shall bear interest from the
   date thereof until repaid, with interest payable monthly in arrears on the
   first Business Day of each month, at a rate per annum (on the basis of the
   actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the Base
   Rate, provided that after an Event of Default such rate shall be equal to
   the Default Rate.  Each Revolving Credit Loan, advance and other extension
   of credit shall be deemed evidenced by the Note, which is deemed
   incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.

             (d)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
   advances under the Loan shall be made against a borrowing base equal to
   eighty percent (80%) of Qualified Accounts due and owing from any
   Medicaid/Medicare, Insurer or other Account Debtor (the "Borrowing Base").

        Section 2.2.  Loan Administration.  Borrowings under the Loan shall
   be as follows:

             (a)  A request for a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made, or
   shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner:  (i) Borrower may
   give Lender notice of its intention to borrow, in which notice Borrower
   shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed
   borrowing date, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time two (2) Business Day
   prior to the proposed borrowing date; provided, however, that no such
   request may be made at a time when there exists an Event of Default; and
   (ii) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this
   Agreement, whether as interest or for any other Obligation, shall be
   deemed irrevocably to be a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due
   date in the amount required to pay such interest or other Obligation.

             (b)  Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse
   the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested, or deemed to be
   requested, as follows:  (i) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan
   requested under subsection 2.2(a)(i) shall be disbursed by Lender by wire
   transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrower or Lender
   from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to written direction from
   Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested
   under subsection 2.2(a)(ii) shall be disbursed by Lender by way of direct
   payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation.

             (c)  All Revolving Credit Loans, advances and other extensions
   of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower shall constitute one general
   Obligation of Borrower, and shall be secured by Lender's lien upon all of
   the Collateral.

             (d)  Lender shall enter all Revolving Credit Loans as debits to
   a loan account in the name of Borrower and shall also record in said loan
   account all payments made by Borrower on any Obligations and all proceeds
   of Collateral which are indefeasibly paid to Lender, and may record
   therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits
   and credits, including interest and all charges and expenses properly
   chargeable to Borrower. 

             (e)  Lender will account to Borrower monthly with a statement of
   Revolving Credit Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this
   Agreement, and such account rendered by Lender shall be deemed final,
   binding and conclusive upon Borrower unless Lender
   is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days
   of the date each accounting is mailed to Borrower.  Such notice shall be
   deemed an objection to those items specifically objected to therein.

        Section 2.3.  Collections, Disbursements, Borrowing Availability, and
   Lockbox Account.  Borrower shall maintain a lockbox account (the
   "Lockbox") with First Union National Bank of Florida.(the "Lockbox Bank"),
   subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and shall execute with the
   Lockbox Bank a Lockbox Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B, and
   such other agreements related thereto as Lender may require.  Borrower
   shall ensure that all collections of Accounts are paid directly from
   Account Debtors into the Lockbox, and that all funds paid into the Lockbox
   are immediately transferred into a depository account maintained by Lender
   at Bank One Arizona, N.A. or First Bank, N.A., as determined by Lender in
   its sole discretion and communicated to Borrower (the "Concentration
   Account").  Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred
   into the Concentration Account pursuant to this Section 2.3 to reduce the
   outstanding indebtedness under the Loan with future Revolving Credit
   Loans, advances and other extensions of credit to be made by Lender under
   the conditions set forth in this Article II.  To the extent that any
   collections of Accounts or proceeds of other Collateral are not sent
   directly to the Lockbox but are received by Borrower, such collections
   shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted,
   in the form received, to the Lockbox Bank for transfer to the
   Concentration Account immediately upon receipt by Borrower.  Borrower
   acknowledges and agrees that its compliance with the terms of this Section
   2.3 is essential, and that upon its failure to comply with any such terms
   Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall
   operate to increase the Base Rate by two percent (2%) per annum during any
   period of non-compliance.  Lender shall be entitled to assess such fee
   whether or not an Event of Default is declared or otherwise occurs.  All
   funds transferred from the Concentration Account for application to
   Borrower's indebtedness to Lender shall be applied to reduce the Loan
   balance, but for purposes of calculating interest shall be subject to a
   three (3) Business Day clearance period.  If as the result of collections
   of Accounts pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3 a
   credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such
   credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall
   be available to Borrower at any time or times for so long as no Event of
   Default exists.

        Section 2.4.  Fees.

             (a)  At Closing, Borrower shall unconditionally pay to Lender a
   commitment fee equal to four-tenths of one percent (0.4%) of the Maximum
   Loan Amount (the "Commitment Fee").

             (b)  Borrower shall pay to Lender all out-of-pocket audit and
   appraisal fees in connection with audits and appraisals of Borrower's
   books and records and such other matters as Lender shall deem appropriate, 
   which amounts shall be limited to $8,000 in any calendar year so long as
   no Event of Default has occurred, and shall include amounts under Section
   2.4(b) of the Loan and Security Agreement between Lender and Affiliated
   Borrower (as defined in Section 7.1 below) and which amounts shall be due
   and payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of
   issuance by Lender of a request for payment thereof to Borrower. 

             (c)  Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, any and all fees,
   costs or expenses which Lender or any participant pays to a bank or other
   similar institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by
   Lender to any participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the
   forwarding to Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower, by
   Lender, of proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made by Lender to Borrower
   pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the depositing for collection, by
   Lender or any participant, of any check or item of payment received or
   delivered to Lender or any participant on account of Obligations. 

        Section 2.5.  Payments.  Principal payable on account of Revolving
   Credit Loans shall be payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon the
   earliest of (i) the receipt by Borrower of any proceeds of any of the
   Collateral, to the extent of such proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of an
   Event of Default in consequence of which the Loan and the maturity of the
   payment of the Obligations are accelerated, or (iii) the termination of
   this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof; provided, however, that if
   any advance made by Lender in excess of the Borrowing Base shall exist at
   any time, Borrower shall, immediately upon demand, repay such overadvance. 
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, overadvances aggregating less than $200,000
   in any calendar year, may be converted to a term loan (at an interest rate
   equal to the Base Rate), payable in twelve equal monthly payments of
   principal and interest.  Interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Loans
   shall be due on the earliest of (i) the first Business Day of each month
   (for the immediately preceding month), computed on the last calendar day
   of the preceding month, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in
   consequence of which the Loan and the maturity of the payment of the
   Obligations are accelerated, or (iii) the termination of this Agreement
   pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof.  Except to the extent otherwise set forth
   in this Agreement, all payments of principal and of interest on the Loan,
   all other charges and any other obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall
   be made to Lender to the Concentration Account, in immediately available
   funds.

        Section 2.6.  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of Lender's advances
   under the Loan shall be used solely for working capital and for other
   costs of Borrower arising in the ordinary course of Borrower's business.

        Section 2.7.  Interest Rate Limitation.  The parties intend to
   conform strictly to the applicable usury laws in effect from time to time
   during the term of the Loan.  Accordingly, if any transaction contemplated
   hereby would be usurious under such laws, then notwithstanding any other
   provision hereof: (i) the aggregate of all interest that is contracted
   for, charged, or received under this Agreement or under any other Loan
   Document shall not exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by
   applicable law (the "Highest Lawful Rate"), and any excess shall be
   promptly credited to Borrower by Lender (or, to the extent that such
   consideration shall have been paid, such excess shall be promptly refunded
   to Borrower by Lender); (ii) neither Borrower nor any other Person now or
   hereafter liable hereunder shall be obligated to pay the amount of such
   interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate;
   and (iii) the effective rate of interest shall be reduced to the Highest
   Lawful Rate.  All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use,
   forbearance, and detention of the debt of Borrower to Lender shall, to the
   extent permitted by applicable law, be allocated throughout the full term
   of the Note until payment is made in full so that the actual rate of
   interest does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate in effect at any
   particular time during the full term thereof.  If at any time the rate of
   interest under the Note exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate of
   interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited,
   notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the Highest Lawful
   Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the Base Rate shall not reduce the
   interest to accrue pursuant to this Agreement below the Highest Lawful
   Rate until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of
   interest that would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the
   interest rate under the Note had at all times been in effect.  If the
   total amount of interest paid or accrued pursuant to this Agreement under
   the foregoing provisions is less than the total amount of interest that
   would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate
   under the Note had been in effect, then Borrower agrees to pay to Lender
   an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (x) the amount
   of interest that would have accrued if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all
   times been in effect, or (y) the amount of interest that would have
   accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest rate under the
   Note had at all times been in effect, and (ii) the amount of interest
   accrued in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

        Section 2.8.  Term.

             (a)  Subject to Lender's right to cease making Revolving Credit
   Loans to Borrower upon or after any Event of Default, this Agreement shall
   be in effect for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, unless
   terminated as provided in this Section 2.8 (the "Term"), and this
   Agreement shall be renewed for one-year periods thereafter upon the mutual
   written agreement of the parties.

             (b)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender may
   terminate this Agreement without notice upon or after the occurrence of an
   Event of Default.

             (c)  Upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to
   Lender, Borrower may terminate this Agreement prior to the second annual
   anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that, at the effective date of
   such termination, Borrower shall pay to Lender (in addition to the then
   outstanding principal, accrued interest and other Obligations owing under
   the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents) as liquidated
   damages for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to
   (i) eight-tenths of one percent (0.8%) of the Maximum Loan Amount if the
   effective date of such termination by Borrower is on or prior to the first
   annual anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) four-tenths of one
   percent (0.4%) of the Maximum Loan Amount if the effective date of such
   termination by Borrower is after the first annual anniversary of the
   Closing Date and prior to the second annual anniversary of the Closing
   Date.  

             (d)  All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable
   upon the termination date stated in any notice of termination of this
   Agreement.  All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties, and
   representations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall survive
   any such termination and Lender shall retain its liens in the Collateral
   and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
   notwithstanding such termination until Borrower has paid the Obligations
   to Lender, in full, in immediately available funds.

        Section 2.9.   Joint and Several Liability; Binding Obligations. 
   Each entity comprising Borrower and executing this Agreement on behalf of
   Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations. 
   In addition, each entity comprising Borrower hereby acknowledges and
   agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants,
   obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this
   Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each individual
   entity comprising Borrower, and shall be binding upon all such entities
   when taken together.


                                   ARTICLE III

                                   COLLATERAL

        Section 3.1.  Generally.  As security for the payment of all
   liabilities of Borrower to Lender, including without limitation: (i)
   indebtedness evidenced under the Note, repayment of Revolving Credit
   Loans, advances and other extensions of credit, all fees and charges owing
   by Borrower, and all other liabilities and obligations of every kind or
   nature whatsoever of Borrower to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
   incurred, joint or several, matured or unmatured, direct or indirect,
   primary or secondary, related or unrelated, due or to become due,
   including but not limited to any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
   increases and renewals thereof, (ii) the payment of all amounts advanced
   by Lender to preserve, protect, defend, and enforce its rights hereunder
   and in the following property in accordance with the terms of this
   Agreement, and (iii) the payment of all expenses incurred by Lender in
   connection therewith (collectively, the "Obligations").  Borrower hereby
   assigns and grants to Lender a continuing first priority lien on and
   security interest in, upon, and to the following property (the
   "Collateral"):

             (a)  All of Borrower's now-owned and hereafter acquired or
   arising Accounts, accounts receivable and rights to payment of every kind
   and description, and any contract rights, chattel paper, documents and
   instruments with respect thereto;

             (b)  All of Borrower's now owned and hereafter acquired or
   arising general intangibles of every kind and description pertaining to
   its Accounts, accounts receivable and other rights to payment, including,
   but not limited to, all existing and future customer lists, choses in
   action, claims, books, records, contracts, licenses, formulae, tax and
   other types of refunds, returned and unearned insurance premiums, rights
   and claims under insurance policies, and computer information, software,
   records, and data;

             (c)  All of Borrower's now or hereafter acquired deposit
   accounts into which Accounts are deposited, including the Concentration
   Account;

             (d)  All of Borrower's monies and other property of every kind
   and nature now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession of or
   under the control of Lender or a bailee or Affiliate of Lender; and 

             (e)  The proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance
   proceeds) of all of the foregoing.

        Section 3.2.  Lien Documents.  At Closing and thereafter as Lender
   deems necessary in its sole discretion, Borrower shall execute and deliver
   to Lender, or have executed and delivered (all in form and substance
   satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion):

             (a)  UCC-1 Financing statements pursuant to the Uniform
   Commercial Code in effect in the jurisdiction(s) in which Borrower
   operates, which Lender may file in any jurisdiction where any Collateral
   is or may be located and in any other jurisdiction that Lender deems
   appropriate; provided that a carbon, photographic, or other reproduction
   or other copy of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient
   as and may be filed in lieu of a financing statement; and

             (b)  Any other agreements, documents, instruments, and writings
   deemed necessary by Lender or as Lender may otherwise request from time to
   time in its sole discretion to evidence, perfect, or protect Lender's lien
   and security interest in the Collateral required hereunder.

        Section 3.3.  Collateral Administration.

             (a)  All Collateral (except deposit accounts) will at all times
   be kept by Borrower at its principal office(s) as set forth on Exhibit C
   hereto and shall not, without the prior written approval of Lender, be
   moved therefrom.

             (b)  Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its
   Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to
   Lender on such periodic basis as Lender shall request a sales and
   collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to
   Lender.  In addition, if Accounts in an aggregate face amount in excess of
   $50,000.00 that were previously included in the Borrowing Base become
   ineligible because they fall within one of the specified categories of
   ineligibility set forth in the definition of Qualified Accounts or
   otherwise, Borrower shall notify Lender of such occurrence on the first
   Business Day following such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall
   thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence.  If requested by Lender,
   Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender formal written assignments of
   all of its Accounts weekly or daily, which shall include all Accounts that
   have been created since the date of the last assignment, together with
   copies of claims, invoices or other information related thereto.

             (c)  Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, any of
   Lender's officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time
   or times hereafter, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or
   Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to
   any Accounts by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise.  Borrower shall
   cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly
   conclude such verification process.

             (d)  To expedite collection, Borrower shall endeavor in the
   first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Lender.  Lender
   retains the right at all times after the occurrence of an Event of
   Default, subject to applicable law regarding Medicaid/Medicare Account
   Debtors, to notify Account Debtors that Accounts have been assigned to
   Lender and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge the
   collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to
   Borrower. 

        Section 3.4.  Other Actions.  In addition to the foregoing, Borrower
   (i) shall provide prompt written notice to each private indemnity, managed
   care or other Insurer who either is currently an Account Debtor or becomes
   an Account Debtor at any time following the date hereof that Lender has
   been granted a first priority lien and security interest in, upon and to
   all Accounts applicable to such Insurer, and hereby authorizes Lender to
   send any and all similar notices to such Insurers by Lender, and (ii)
   shall do anything further that may be lawfully required by Lender to
   secure Lender and effectuate the intentions and objects of this Agreement,
   including but not limited to the execution and delivery of lockbox
   agreements, continuation statements, amendments to financing statements,
   and any other documents required hereunder.  At Lender's request, Borrower
   shall also immediately deliver to Lender all items for which Lender must
   receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest.  Borrower
   shall, on Lender's demand, deliver to Lender all notes, certificates, and
   documents of title, chattel paper, warehouse receipts, instruments, and
   any other similar instruments constituting Collateral.

        Section 3.5.  Searches.  Prior to Closing, and thereafter (as and
   when requested by Lender in its sole discretion), Borrower shall obtain
   and deliver to Lender the following searches against Borrower (the results
   of which are to be consistent with Borrower's representations and
   warranties under this Agreement), all at its own expense:

             (a)  Uniform Commercial Code searches with the Secretary of
   State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where Borrower
   maintains its executive offices, a place of business, or assets;

             (b)  Judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership
   tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (a) above;
   and 

             (c)  Good standing certificates showing Borrower to be in good
   standing in its state of formation and in each other state in which it is
   doing and presently intends to do business for which qualification is
   required.

        Section 3.6.  Power of Attorney.  Each of the officers of Lender is
   hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful
   attorney for Borrower (without requiring any of them to act as such) with
   full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of
   Borrower upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other
   instruments for the payment of money that are payable to Borrower and
   constitute collections on Borrower's Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of
   Borrower any financing statements, schedules, assignments, instruments,
   documents, and statements that Borrower is obligated to give Lender
   hereunder; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name
   of Borrower that Lender may deem necessary or desirable to enforce any
   Account or other Collateral or perfect Lender's security interest or lien
   in any Collateral.

   are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened
   against Borrower before any court or arbitrator or before or by any

   adverse effect on the business, properties, condition (financial or
   otherwise) or operations, present or prospective, of Borrower, or upon its
   ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Borrower is
   not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator, or
   Governmental Authority applicable to Borrower or its properties.  

        Section 4.6.  No Conflicts.  The execution and delivery by Borrower
   of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, and the performance
   of its obligations thereunder will not, violate, conflict with, constitute
   a default under, or result in the creation of a lien or encumbrance upon

   of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any provision of any law, rule, or

   result of any action of Borrower, except as described in Schedule 4.14. 
   All Hazardous Material used, treated, stored, transported to or from,
   generated or handled on the Premises, or off the Premises by Borrower, has

   indirect subsidiary, as shown on Schedule 4.1.

        Section 4.18.  Material Facts.  Neither this Agreement nor any other
   Loan Document nor any other agreement, document, certificate, or statement
   furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the
   transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of material
   fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
   statements contained herein or therein not misleading.  There is no fact
   known to Borrower that adversely affects or in the future may adversely
   affect the business, operations, affairs or financial condition of
   Borrower, or any of its properties or assets.

   and all business done and invoices issued in such names are Borrower's
   sales, business, and invoices.  Each trade name of Borrower represents a
   division or trading style of Borrower and not a separate Person or
   independent Affiliate.

   venture or partnership with any other Person, except as set forth on
   Schedule 4.22.

        Section 4.23  Accounts.  Lender may rely, in determining which
   Accounts are Qualified Accounts, on all statements and representations
   made by Borrower with respect to any Account or Accounts.  Unless
   otherwise indicated in writing to Lender, with respect to each Account:

             (a)  It is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be,
   and is not evidenced by a judgment;

             (b)  It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery
   of goods or rendition of services by Borrower in the ordinary course of
   its business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all
   purchase orders, contracts, certification, participation, certificate of
   need, or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the
   contract between Borrower and the Account Debtor;

             (c)  It is for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in a
   duplicate claim or invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a
   copy of which has been furnished or is available to Lender;

             (d)  Such Account, and Lender's security interest therein, is
   not, and will not (by voluntary act or omission by Borrower), be in the
   future, subject to any offset, lien, deduction, defense, dispute,
   counterclaim or any other adverse condition, and each such Account is
   absolutely owing to Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for
   any reason;

             (e)  There are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way
   impair the validity or enforceability of any Accounts or tend to reduce
   the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the claim or invoice
   and statements delivered to Lender with respect thereto;

             (f)  To the best of Borrower's knowledge, (i) the Account Debtor
   thereunder had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other
   document giving rise to the Account was executed and (ii) such Account
   Debtor is solvent;

             (g)  To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there are no

   there shall have occurred an event which, with the giving of notice or
   lapse of time, or both, would cause any such obligation to become, or
   allow any such obligation to be declared to be, due and payable;

             (a)  In addition to all other rights, options, and remedies

   Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, (ii) exercise all other
   rights granted to it hereunder and all rights under the Uniform Commercial
   Code in effect in the applicable jurisdiction(s) and under any other
   applicable law, and (iii) exercise all rights and remedies under all Loan
   Documents now or hereafter in effect, including the following rights and
   remedies (which list is given by way of example and is not intended to be
   an exhaustive list of all such rights and remedies):

                  (i)  The right to take possession of, send notices
   regarding, and collect directly the Collateral, with or without judicial
   process, and to exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender with
   respect to the Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in
   the jurisdiction(s) in which such Collateral is located;


                  (ii) The right to (by its own means or with judicial
   assistance) enter any of Borrower's premises and take possession of the
   Collateral, or render it unusable, or dispose of the Collateral on such
   premises in compliance with subsection (b), without any liability for
   rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or
   interfere with such action;

                  (iii)     The right to require Borrower at Borrower's
   expense to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it
   available to Lender at any place designated by Lender;

                  (iv) The right to reduce the Maximum Loan Amount or to use
   the Collateral and/or funds in the Concentration Account in amounts up to
   the Maximum Loan Amount for any reason; and

                  (v)  The right to relinquish or abandon any Collateral or
   any security interest therein.

             (b)  Borrower agrees that a notice received by it at least five
   (5) days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after
   which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be
   made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other
   disposition.  If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral
   which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a
   recognized marked may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice
   to Borrower.  At any sale or disposition of Collateral, Lender may (to the
   extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part of the
   Collateral, free from any right of redemption by Borrower, which right is
   hereby waived and released.  Borrower covenants and agrees not to
   interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender's exercise of its rights
   and remedies with respect to the Collateral.

        Section 8.4.  Nature of Remedies.  Lender shall have the right to
   proceed against all or any portion of the Collateral to satisfy the
   liabilities and Obligations of Borrower to Lender in any order.  All
   rights and remedies granted Lender hereunder and under any agreement
   referred to herein, or otherwise available at law or in equity, shall be
   deemed concurrent and cumulative, and not alternative remedies, and Lender
   may proceed with any number of remedies at the same time until the Loans,
   and all other existing and future liabilities and obligations of Borrower
   to Lender, are satisfied in full.  The exercise of any one right or remedy
   shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy, and
   Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, may proceed against
   Borrower, and/or the Collateral, at any time, under any agreement, with
   any available remedy and in any order.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 9.1.  Expenses and Taxes.

             (a)  Borrower agrees to pay, whether or not the Closing occurs,
   a reasonable documentation preparation fee, together with actual audit and
   appraisal fees and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses incurred
   by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of
   each of the Loan Documents, any amendments to the Loan Documents following
   Closing, and preparation for Closing, reimbursement for which fees and
   expenses shall not exceed $10,000.00.  Borrower also agrees to pay all
   out-of-pocket charges and expenses incurred by Lender (including the fees
   and expenses of Lender's counsel) in connection with the enforcement,
   protection or preservation of any right or claim of Lender and the
   collection of any amounts due under the Loan Documents.

             (b)  Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon
   or measured by Lender's income or revenues or any personal property tax),
   if any, in connection with the issuance of the Note and the recording of
   the security documents therefor.  The obligations of Borrower under this
   clause (b) shall survive the payment of Borrower's indebtedness hereunder
   and the termination of this Agreement. 

        Section 9.2.  Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the
   other Loan Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and
   agreement among the parties with regard to their subject matter and
   supersede all prior written or oral agreements, understandings,
   representations and warranties made with respect thereto.  No amendment,
   supplement or modification of this Agreement nor any waiver of any
   provision thereof shall be made except in writing executed by the party
   against whom enforcement is sought.

        Section 9.3.  No Waiver; Cumulative Rights.  No waiver by any party
   hereto of any one or more defaults by the other party in the performance
   of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate or be construed
   as a waiver of any future default or defaults, whether of a like or
   different nature.  No failure or delay on the part of any party in
   exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
   thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power
   or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
   of any other right, power or remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are
   cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to
   any party hereto at law, in equity or otherwise.

        Section 9.4.  Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or
   permitted hereunder shall be in writing and personally delivered, mailed
   by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested and postage
   prepaid), sent by telecopier (with a confirming copy sent by regular
   mail), or sent by prepaid overnight courier service, and addressed to the
   relevant party at its address set forth below, or at such other address as

   be deemed to be given on the next Business Day following deposit with the
   courier. 

        Section 9.5.  Severability.  If any term, covenant or condition of
   this Agreement, or the application of such term, covenant or condition to
   any party or circumstance shall be found by a court of competent
   jurisdiction to be, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
   of this Agreement and the application of such term, covenant, or condition
   to parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held
   invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term,
   covenant or condition shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent
   permitted by law.  Upon determination that any such term is invalid,
   illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall amend this Agreement so
   as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in
   an acceptable manner.

        Section 9.6.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement, the Note, and
   the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
   Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not assign any of its rights
   or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written
   consent of Lender, which may be withheld in its sole discretion.  Lender
   may sell, assign, transfer, or participate any or all of its rights or
   obligations hereunder without notice to or consent of Borrower.

        Section 9.7.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
   number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
   of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

        Section 9.8. Interpretation.  No provision of this Agreement or any
   other Loan Document shall be interpreted or construed against any party
   because that party or its legal representative drafted that provision. 
   The titles of the paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of
   reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 
   Any pronoun used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include singular and
   plural and masculine, feminine and neuter gender as the case may be.  The
   words "herein," "hereof," and "hereunder" shall be deemed to refer to this
   entire Agreement, except as the context otherwise requires.

        Section 9.9.  Survival of Terms.  All covenants, agreements,
   representations and warranties made in this Agreement, any other Loan
   Document, and in any certificates and other instruments delivered in
   connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by
   Lender and shall survive the making by Lender of the Loans herein
   contemplated and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and
   shall continue in full force and effect until all liabilities and
   obligations of Borrower to Lender are satisfied in full.

        Section 9.10.  Release of Lender.  Borrower releases Lender, its
   officers, employees, and agents, of and from any claims for loss or damage
   resulting from acts or conduct of any or all of them, unless caused by
   Lender's recklessness, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

        Section 9.11.  Time.  Whenever Borrower is required to make any
   payment or perform any act on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday under
   the laws of the State of Maryland (or other jurisdiction where Borrower is
   required to make the payment or perform the act), the payment may be made
   or the act performed on the next Business Day.  Time is of the essence in
   Borrower's performance under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents.

        Section 9.12.  Commissions.  The transaction contemplated by this
   Agreement was brought about by Lender and Borrower acting as principals
   and without any brokers, agents, or finders being the effective procuring
   cause.  Borrower represents that it has not committed Lender to the
   payment of any brokerage fee, commission, or charge in connection with
   this transaction.  If any such claim is made on Lender by any broker,
   finder, or agent or other person, Borrower will indemnify, defend, and
   hold Lender harmless from and against the claim and will defend any action
   to recover on that claim, at Borrower's cost and expense, including
   Lender's counsel fees.  Borrower further agrees that until any such claim
   or demand is adjudicated in Lender's favor, the amount demanded will be
   deemed a liability of Borrower under this Agreement, secured by the
   Collateral.

        Section 9.13.  Third Parties.    No rights are intended to be created
   hereunder or under any other Loan Document for the benefit of any third
   party donee, creditor, or incidental beneficiary of Borrower.  Nothing
   contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a delegation to Lender
   of Borrower's duty of performance, including without limitation Borrower's
   duties under any account or contract in which Lender has a security
   interest.

        Section 9.14.  Discharge of Borrower's Obligations.  Lender, in its
   sole discretion, shall have the right at any time, and from time to time,
   without prior notice to Borrower if Borrower fails to do so, to: (i)
   obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral as required hereunder;
   (ii) pay for the performance of any of Borrower's obligations hereunder;
   (iii) discharge taxes, liens, security interests, or other encumbrances at
   any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral in violation of this
   Agreement unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by
   appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (iv) pay for the
   maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral.  Expenses and
   advances shall be added to the Loan, until reimbursed to Lender and shall
   be secured by the Collateral.  Any such payments and advances by Lender
   shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of an Event of Default.

        Section 9.15.  Information to Participants.  Lender may divulge to
   any participant it may obtain in the Loan, or any portion thereof, all
   information, and furnish to such participant copies of reports, financial
   statements, certificates, and documents obtained under any provision of
   this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
   any such participant shall be bound by the restrictions on dissemination
   of confidential information contained in Section 6.8 above.

        Section 9.16.  Indemnity.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and
   hold harmless Lender, its partners, officers, agents and employees
   (collectively, "Indemnitee") from and against any liability, loss, cost,
   expense, claim, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or
   incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
   arising from Borrower's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of
   its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties hereunder, or from the
   breach of any of the representations or warranties contained in Article IV
   hereof.  In addition, Borrower shall defend Indemnitee against and save it
   harmless from all claims of any Person with respect to the Collateral. 
   Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligation
   of Borrower under this Section 9.16 shall survive the payment in full of
   the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

        Section 9.17.  Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  THIS
   AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
   WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE
   APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.  IF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF
   THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTE IS COMMENCED BY LENDER IN THE STATE COURTS OF
   THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF
   MARYLAND, BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT
   IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. 
   ANY PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE DULY SERVED IF MAILED BY
   REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS DESCRIBED IN
   SECTION 9.4 HEREOF.

        Section 9.18.  Waiver of Trial by Jury.  BORROWER HEREBY (A)
   COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF
   RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (B) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE
   EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST.  THIS WAIVER OF
   RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, BY
   BORROWER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH
   INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WOULD
   OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND REQUESTED TO SUBMIT
   THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER
   AND THE PARTIES HERETO, SO AS TO SERVE AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF
   BORROWER'S WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.  FURTHER, BORROWER HEREBY
   CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF LENDER (INCLUDING LENDER'S
   COUNSEL) HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO BORROWER THAT LENDER
   WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.

        Section 9.19.  Confession of Judgment.  BORROWER AUTHORIZES ANY
   ATTORNEY ADMITTED TO PRACTICE BEFORE ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE UNITED
   STATES OR THE CLERK OF SUCH COURT TO APPEAR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER IN ANY
   COURT IN ONE OR MORE PROCEEDINGS, OR BEFORE ANY CLERK THEREOF OF
   PROTHONOTARY OR OTHER COURT OFFICIAL, AND TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST
   BORROWER IN FAVOR OF LENDER IN THE FULL AMOUNT DUE ON THIS AGREEMENT
   (INCLUDING PRINCIPAL, ACCRUED INTEREST AND ANY AND ALL CHARGES, FEES AND
   COSTS) PLUS REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES, PLUS COURT COSTS, ALL WITHOUT
   PRIOR NOTICE OR OPPORTUNITY OF BORROWER FOR PRIOR HEARING.  BORROWER
   AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT VENUE AND JURISDICTION SHALL BE PROPER IN THE
   CIRCUIT COURT OF ANY COUNTY OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND OR OF BALTIMORE CITY,
   MARYLAND, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF
   MARYLAND.  BORROWER WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF ANY AND EVERY STATUTE,
   ORDINANCE, OR RULE OF COURT WHICH MAY BE LAWFULLY WAIVED CONFERRING UPON
   BORROWER ANY RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE OF EXEMPTION, HOMESTEAD RIGHTS, STAY OF
   EXECUTION, OR SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHER RELIEF FROM THE
   ENFORCEMENT OR IMMEDIATE ENFORCEMENT OF A JUDGMENT OR RELATED PROCEEDINGS
   ON A JUDGMENT.  THE AUTHORITY AND POWER TO APPEAR FOR AND ENTER JUDGMENT
   AGAINST BORROWER SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE OR MORE EXERCISES THEREOF,
   OR BY ANY IMPERFECT EXERCISE THEREOF, AND SHALL NOT BE EXTINGUISHED BY ANY
   JUDGMENT ENTERED PURSUANT THERETO; SUCH AUTHORITY AND POWER MAY BE
   EXERCISED ON ONE OR MORE OCCASIONS FROM TIME TO TIME, IN THE SAME OR
   DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS, AS OFTEN AS LENDER SHALL DEEM NECESSARY,
   CONVENIENT, OR PROPER.

             IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be
   executed as of the date first written above.
