                                      ------------------------              ----
agree  to  the  terms  and  conditions of employment with CHARYS HOLDING COMPANY
INC., a Delaware corporation located at 1117 Perimeter Center West, Suite N 415,

          1.     TERM  OF  EMPLOYMENT.  My employment under this Agreement shall
commence  on the 1st day of August, 2005 [the "Effective Date"] and shall end on
the  thgird  anniversary of that date (Expiration Date), or such earlier date on
which  my  employment  is terminated under Section 5 of this Agreement.  On each
anniversary  of  my  commencement  of  employment  under  this  Agreement,  the
Expiration Date shall be extended for one year unless the Company notified me at
least  forty  five  (45)  days before that anniversary that it was not extending
this  Agreement.  If  the  Company  continues to employ me beyond the Expiration
Date  without  entering  into  a  written  agreement  extending the term of this
Agreement,  except as provided in a new written employment agreement between the
Company  and  me,  all  obligations  and  rights  under  this  Agreement  shall
prospectively  lapse  as  of  the  Expiration Date, except the Company's ongoing
indemnification obligation under Section 4, my confidentiality, etc. obligations
under  Section  6, and our mutual arbitration obligations under Section 8, and I
thereafter  shall  be  an  at-will  employee  of  the  Company.

          2.     NATURE  OF  DUTIES.  I  shall  be  the Company's Vice President
Investor  Relations. As such, I shall work exclusively for the Company and shall
have  all  of  the  customary  powers  and  duties associated with that position
including  but  not  limited to those set forth on SCHEDULE 1.  I agree that the
Company  may alter my duties from time to time.  I shall devote my full business
time  and  effort to the performance of my duties for the Company, which I shall
perform  faithfully  and  to  the  best of my ability. I shall be subject to the
Company's  policies,  procedures  and approval practices, as generally in effect
from time to time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
Agreement, it shall not be a breach or violation of this Agreement for me to (i)
serve  on  corporate  (subject  to  approval  of the Board), civic or charitable
boards  or  committees,  (ii)  deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or
teach at educational institutions, or (iii) manage personal investments, so long
as  such activities do not significantly interfere with or significantly detract
from  the  performance  of my responsibilities to the Company in accordance with
this  agreement.

except  for  required  travel  on  the  Company's  business.

          4.     COMPENSATION  AND  RELATED  MATTERS.

               (a)     BASE  SALARY.  The Company shall pay me base salary at an
annual  rate  of  $60,000  adjusted as determined in SCHEDULE 2 attached hereto,
with  such  base  salary  payable  in installments consistent with the Company's
normal  payroll  schedule,  subject  to  applicable withholding and other taxes.

               (b)     BONUSES.  I  shall  be  eligible  for  bonuses  and other
incentive  compensation  under  bonus and incentive compensation plans generally
available  to  other  similarly  situated  Company  executives.

               (c)     STOCK  OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK, AND INCENTIVE PLANS.  I
shall  be  eligible  to  participate  in all stock option, restricted stock, and
incentive  plans  generally  available  to  other  similarly  situated  Company
executives,  and as of the commencement of my employment under this Agreement, I
shall  be  granted  an incentive stock option (Option) to purchase shares of the
Company's  common stock as set forth in SCHEDULE 3, exercisable according to the
terns  and  conditions  of  the  Company's  Stock  Option  Plan.

               (d)     STANDARD  BENEFITS.  During  my  employment,  I  shall be
entitled  to  participate  in all employee benefit plans and programs, including
paid  vacations,  to  the  same  extent  generally  available to other similarly
situated  Company  executives,  in  accordance with the terms of those plans and
programs.  The Company shall have the right to terminate or change any such plan
or  program  at  any  time.

               (e)     INDEMNIFICATION.  The Company shall extend to me the same
indemnification  arrangements  as  are  generally  provided  to  other similarly
situated  Company  executives,  including  after  termination  of my employment.

               (f)     EXPENSES.  I  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  prompt
reimbursement  for  all  reasonable and customary travel and business expenses I
incur  in  connection with my employment, but I must incur and account for those
expenses  in  accordance  with  the  policies  and procedures established by the
Company.

               (g)     SARBANES-OXLEY  ACT LOAN PROHIBITION.  To the extent that
any  Company benefit, program, practice, arrangement, or this Agreement would or
might  otherwise  result  in  my  receipt of an illegal loan (Loan), the Company
shall  use  reasonable efforts to provide me with a substitute for the Loan that
is lawful and of at least equal value to me. If this cannot be done, or if doing
so  would  be  significantly more expensive to the Company than making the Loan,
the  Company  need  not  make  the  Loan  to me or provide me substitute for it.

          5.     Termination.

                                        2

               (b)     DISCHARGE  FOR  CAUSE.  The  company  may  terminate  my
employment  at  any  time  if  it  believes  in  good faith that it has Cause to
terminate  me.  "Cause"  shall  include,  but  not  be  limited  to:

                    (i)     my refusal to follow the Company's lawful directions
or my material failure to perform my duties (other than by reason of physical or
mental  illness,  injury, or condition), in either case, after I have been given
notice  of  my  default  and  a  reasonable  opportunity  to  cure  my  default;

                    (ii)    my  material  failure  to  comply  with  Company
policies;

                    (iii)   my  engaging  in  conduct that is or may be unlawful
or  disreputable,  to the possible detriment of the Company and its subsidiaries
and  affiliates,  and  their  predecessors  and  successors ("Group"), or my own
reputation;

                    (iv)    my  becoming  insolvent  or  filing  for bankruptcy;

                    (v)     my  seeking, exploring, or accepting a position with
another  business enterprise or venture without the Company's written consent at
any  time  more  than  90  days  before  the  Expiration  Date;  or

                    (vi)    my  engaging  in  activities  on  behalf  of  an
enterprise  which  competes  or  plans to compete with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries  or  affiliates.

If  my  employment  ends  for any reason other than discharge by the Company for
Cause,  but  at a time when the Company had Cause to terminate me (or would have
had  Cause  if it then knew all relevant facts), my termination shall be treated
as  a  discharge  by  the  Company  for  Cause.

               (c)     TERMINATION FOR DISABILITY.  Except  as  prohibited  by
applicable  law,  the  Company  may  terminate  my  employment  on  account  of
Disability,  or  may transfer me to inactive employment status, which shall have
the  same  effect  under  this  Agreement  as  a  termination  for  Disability.
"Disability"  means  a  physical  or  mental  illness, injury, or condition that
prevents  me  from  performing  my  duties, as determined under Company policies
relating  to disability applicable to me and other similarly situated employees.

               (d)     DISCHARGE  OTHER  THAN  FOR  CAUSE  OR  DISABILITY.  The
Company  may  terminate  my  employment  at any time for any reason, and without
advance  notice.  If  I  am terminated by the Company other than for Cause under
Section  5(b)  or  for  Disability  under  Section 5(c), I will only receive the
special benefits provided for a non-Cause discharge under Section 5(a) if I sign
a  general  release  form  furnished to me by the Company (which may include any
provision  customary  in  formal  settlement  agreements

                                        4
<PAGE>
and general releases, including such things as my release of the Company and all
conceivably  related  persons  or  entities  ("affiliates")  from  all known and
unknown claims, my covenant never in the future to pursue any released claim, my
promise  never seek employment with the Company or any affiliate i n the future,
my  promise not to solicit current or former customers, employees, suppliers or,
to  the  fullest  extent lawful, engage in business activities that compete with
the  Company  or  any  affiliate, or disclose or use any of their proprietary or
trade  secret information) within 60 days after my employment ends (or within 60
days  after  an  arbitrator  determines that I am entitled to such payments if I
sign  the  general release) and I do not thereafter properly revoke the release.

               (e)     RESIGNATION.  I  promise  not  to  resign  my  employment
before  the  Expiration Date without giving the Company at least 30 days advance
written  notice. If I resign, the Company may accept my resignation effective on
the  date  set  forth  in  my  notice or any earlier date.  If I resign, I shall
nevertheless  remain  employed  under  this  Agreement  except to the extent the
Company  elects  to  cancel  it.

               (f)     DEATH.  If  I  die  while  employed under this Agreement,
the  payments  required  by Section 5(a) in the event of my death shall be made.

               (g)     TRANSFERS TO GROUP MEMBER.  My transfer to another member
of  the  Group  shall  not  be  deemed a termination of my employment under this
Agreement  if  it  assumes  this  Agreement.

               (h)     DISPUTES  UNDER  THIS  SECTION.  All disputes relating to
this  Agreement,  including disputes relating to this section, shall be resolved
by  final  and  binding arbitration under Section 8. For example, if the Company
and  I  disagree as to whether the Company had Cause to terminate my employment,
we  will  resolve  the  dispute  through arbitration; the arbitrator will decide
whether  the  Company  had  Cause  to  terminate  me.

               (i)     AMOUNTS  OWED  TO  THE COMPANY. Any amounts payable to me
under  this  section  shall  first  be  applied  to  repay any amounts I owe the
Company.

          6.     CONFIDENTIALITY.  I acknowledge that as an integral part of the
Company's  business,  the  Company  has  developed,  and  will  develop,  at  a
considerable  investment  of  time and expense, marketing and business plans and
strategies,  procedures,  methods  of  operation  and marketing, financial data,
lists  of  actual  and  potential customers and suppliers, and independent sales
representatives  and related data, technical procedures, engineering and product
specifications,  plans for development and expansion, and other confidential and
sensitive  information,  and  I  acknowledge  that  the Company has a legitimate
business  interest  in  protecting  the  confidentiality  of such information. I
acknowledge  that  I  will  be  entrusted  with  such  information  as  well  as
confidential  information  belonging  to  customers,  suppliers, and other third
parties.

                                        5

               (a)     "TRADE SECRETS" are defined as information, regardless of
form,  belonging  to  the  Company,  licensed  by  it,  or  disclosed to it on a
confidential  basis  by  its  customers,  suppliers,  or  other  third  parties,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  technical  or  non-technical data, formulae,
patterns,  compilations,  programs,  devices,  methods,  techniques,  drawings,
processes,  financial  data,  product  plans,  or  lists  of actual or potential
customers  or  suppliers  which  are  not  commonly known by or available to the
public  and  which information: (i) derives economic value, actual or potential,
from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper
means  by,  other  persons  who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or
use;  and  (ii)  is  the  subject  of  efforts  that  are  reasonable  under the
circumstances  to  maintain  its  secrecy.

               (b)     "CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION"  is  defined  as information,
regardless of form, belonging to the Company, licensed by it, or disclosed to it
on  a  confidential  basis  by its customers, suppliers, or other third parties,
other  than Trade Secrets, which is material and valuable to the Company and not
generally  known  by  the  public.

               (c)     PROMISE  NOT  TO  DISCLOSE.  I  promise  never  to use or
disclose  any  Trade  Secret  before  it  has  become generally known within the
relevant  industry  through  no fault of my own. I agree that this promise shall
never  expire. I further promise that, while this Agreement is in effect and for
2 years after its termination, I will not, without the prior written approval of
the  Company,  disclose  any  Confidential  Information  before  it  has  become
generally  known  within  the  relevant  industry  through  no  fault of my own.

               (d)     PROMISE  NOT  TO  SOLICIT.  To prevent me from inevitably
breaking  this  promise, I further agree that, while this Agreement is in effect
and  for  18 months after its termination: (1) as to any customer or supplier of
the  Group  with  whom  I  had  dealings  or  about  whom I acquired proprietary
information  during  my employment, I will not solicit or attempt to solicit (or
assist  others  to  solicit)  the  customer  or supplier to do business with any
person  or entity other than the Group; and (2) I will not solicit or attempt to
solicit  (or  assist  others  to  solicit)  for employment any person who is, or
within the preceding 12 months was, an officer, manager, employee, or consultant
of  the  Group.

               (e)     PROMISE  NOT  TO  ENGAGE  IN CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT.  I agree
that,  while this Agreement is in effect and for 18 months after its termination
[the  "Restricted  Period"],  I  will not accept any employment or engage in any
activity, without the written consent of the Company's Board of Directors if the
loyal  and  complete  fulfillment  of  my  duties would inevitably require me to
reveal  or  utilize  Trade  Secrets  or  Confidential Information, as reasonably
determined  by  the  Company's  Board.  In  order to fully protect the Company's
Proprietary Information, at all times during the Restricted Period, I shall not,
directly  or  indirectly, perform or provide managerial or executive services on
behalf  of  any  person,  entity  or enterprise which is engaged in, or plans to
engage  in,  any  business  in  the  United  States  that directly or indirectly
competes  with  the

                                        6
<PAGE>
Company's  Business  (for  this  purpose,  the  "Company's  Business"  is  the
description  of its business as appears in the Company's most recent Form 10-K.)
During my employment with the Company, I shall not, directly or indirectly, have
any  interest  in  any  business (other than the Company) that competes with the
Company's Business, provided that this provision shall not apply to my ownership
or  acquisition,  solely  as  an investment, of securities of any issuer that is
registered  under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as  amended,  and  that  are listed or admitted for trading on any United States
national  securities  exchange or that are quoted on the National Association of
Securities  Dealers  Automated  Quotations  System,  or  any  similar  system or
automated  dissemination  of  quotations  of securities prices in common use, so
long  as  the  Executive  does not control, acquire a controlling interest in or
become  a  member of a group which exercises direct or indirect control of, more
than  five  percent  of  any  class  of  capital  stock  of  such  corporation.

               (f)     RETURN  OF  INFORMATION.  When  my  employment  with  the
Company  ends,  1  will  promptly  deliver  to  the  Company, or, at its written
instruction,  destroy,  all  documents, data, drawings, manuals, letters, notes,
reports, electronic mail, recordings, and copies thereof, of or pertaining to it
or  any  other Group member in my possession or control.  In addition, during my
employment  with  the  Company or the Group and thereafter, I agree to meet with
Company  personnel  and,  based  on  knowledge  or  insights  I gained during my
employment  with  the  Company  and the Group, answer any question they may have
related  to  the  Company  or  the  Group.

               (g)     PROMISE  TO  DISCUSS  PROPOSED  ACTIONS  IN  ADVANCE.  To
prevent  the  inevitable  use  or  disclosure  of  Trade Secrets or Confidential
Information,  I  promise  that,  before  I  disclose  or  use  Trade  Secrets or
Confidential Information and before I commence employment, solicitations, or any
other activity that could possibly violate the promises I have just made, I will
discuss my proposed actions with an attorney for the Company, who will advise me
in  writing  whether  my  proposed  actions  would  violate  these  promises.

               (h)     INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY.  Intellectual property (including
such things as all ideas, concepts, - inventions, plans, developments, software,
data,  configurations, materials (whether written or machine-readable), designs,
drawings,  illustrations,  and photographs, that may be protectable, in whole or
in  part,  under  any  patent,  copyright,  trademark,  trade  secret,  or other
intellectual  property  law), developed, created, conceived, made, or reduced to
practice  during my Company employment (except intellectual property that has no
relation to the Group or any Group customer that I developed, etc., purely on my
own time and at my own expense), shall be the sole and exclusive property of the
Company,  and  I  hereby  assign  all my rights, title, and interest in any such
intellectual  property  to  the  Company.

               (i)     EXECUTION  OF  INNOVATION AGREEMENT. I agree to the terms
of  the  Company's Assignment of Inventions agreement, which is attached to this

                                        7
<PAGE>
Agreement as SCHEDULE 4, and I promise to execute it contemporaneously with this
Agreement.

               (j)     ENFORCEMENT  OF THIS SECTION.  This section shall survive
the  termination  of  this  Agreement  for any reason. I acknowledge that (a) my
services  are  of a special, unique, and extraordinary character and it would be
very  difficult  or  impossible  to  replace  them, (b) this section's terms are
reasonable and necessary to protect the Company's legitimate interests, (c) this
section's restrictions will not prevent me from earning or seeking a livelihood,
(d)  this  section's restrictions shall apply wherever permitted by law, and (e)
my  violation of any of this section's terms would irreparably harm the Company.
Accordingly,  I  agree that, if I violate any of the provisions of this section,
the  Company  or  any  Group  member  shall be entitled to, in addition to other
remedies  available  to it, an injunction to be issued by any court of competent
jurisdiction  restraining  me  from committing or continuing any such violation,
without  the  need  to prove the inadequacy of money damages or post any bond or
for  any  other  undertaking.

          7.     NOTICE.

               (a)     TO  THE  COMPANY.  I  will send all communications to the
Company  in  writing,  addressed  as follows (or in any other manner the Company
notifies  me  to  use):

               (b)     TO  ME.  All  communications  from  the  Company  to  me
relating to this Agreement must be sent to me in writing at my Company office or
in  any  other  manner  I  notify  the  Company  to  use.

               (c)     TIME NOTICE DEEMED GIVEN.  Notice shall be deemed to have
been  given  when  delivered  or,  if  earlier  (1) when mailed by United States
certified  or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (2)
faxed  with  confirmation  of delivery, in either case, addressed as required in
this  section.

          8.     ARBITRATION  OF DISPUTES.  All disputes between the Company and
me  are  to  be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the
separate

                                        8
<PAGE>
Arbitration  Agreement  attached  as SCHEDULE 5 to this Agreement.  This section
shall  remain  in  effect  after  the  termination  of  this  Agreement.

          9.     GOLDEN  PARACHUTE  LIMITATION.  I  agree  that  my payments and
benefits under this Agreement and all other contracts, arrangements, or programs
shall  not,  in  the aggregate, exceed the maximum amount that may be paid to me
without  triggering  golden  parachute  penalties under Section 280G and related
provisions  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code, as determined in good faith by the
Company's  independent  auditors.  If  any  benefits  must  be cut back to avoid
triggering  such  penalties, my benefits shall be cut back in the priority order
designated by the Company. If an amount in excess of the limit set forth in this
section  is  paid  to  me,  I  will  repay the excess amount to the Company upon
demand,  with interest at the rate provided for in Internal Revenue Code Section
1274(b)(2)(B).  The  Company  and  I  agree  to  cooperate  with  each  other in
connection  with  any  administrative  or  judicial  proceedings  concerning the
existence  or  amount  of golden parachute penalties with respect to payments or
benefits  I  receive.

          10.     AMENDMENT.  No  provisions  of this Agreement may be modified,
waived,  or  discharged except by a written document signed by a duly authorized
Company  officer  and  me.  Thus, for example, promotions, commendations, and/or
bonuses  shall  not,  by  themselves, modify, amend, or extend this Agreement. A
waiver  of  any  conditions  or provisions of this Agreement in a given instance
shall not be deemed a waiver of such conditions or provisions at any other time.

          11.     INTERPRETATION;  EXCLUSIVE  FORUM.  The  validity,
interpretation,  construction,  and  performance  of  this  Agreement  shall  be
governed by the laws of the state of Georgia (excluding any that mandate the use
of  another  jurisdiction's  laws).  Any  litigation,  arbitration,  or  similar
proceeding  with  respect to such matters only may be brought within that state,
and all parties to this Agreement consent to that state's jurisdiction and agree
that  venue  anywhere  in  that  state  would  be  proper.

          12.     SUCCESSORS.  This  Agreement  shall be binding upon, and shall
inure  to  the benefit of, me and my estate, but I may not assign or pledge this
Agreement  or  any rights arising under it, except to the extent permitted under
the  terms of the benefit plans in which I participate.  Without my consent, the
Company  may  assign this Agreement to any affiliate or successor that agrees in
writing  to  be  bound  by  this  Agreement,  after  which  any reference to the
"Company"  in  this Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the affiliate
or  successor,  and  the  Company  thereafter  shall  have  no  further primary,
secondary  or  other responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement of any
kind.

          13.     TAXES.  The  Company  shall  withhold  taxes  from payments it
makes  pursuant  to this Agreement as it determines to be required by applicable
law.

          14.     VALIDITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any p revision

<PAGE>
Agreement,  which  shall  remain  in  full force and effect. In the event that a
court  of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement
is  invalid  or  more restrictive than permitted under the governing law of such
jurisdiction,  then  only  as  to  enforcement  of  this  Agreement  within  the
jurisdiction  of such court, such provision shall be interpreted and enforced as
if  it  provided for the maximum restriction permitted under such governing law.

          15.     COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may be executed in one or more
counterparts,  each  of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together  shall  constitute  the  same  instrument.

representations,  express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement  are  set  forth  in  this Agreement. However, this Agreement does not
override  other  written agreements I have executed relating to specific aspects
of  my  employment,  such  as  conflicts  of  interest.

          17.     FORMER  EMPLOYERS.  I  am  not  subject  to  any  employment,
confidentiality,  or  other  agreement or restriction that would prevent me from
fully  satisfying  my duties under this Agreement or that would be violated if I
did  so.  Without  the  Company's  prior written approval, I promise I will not:

               (a)     disclose  proprietary  information  belonging to a former
employer  or  other  entity  without  its  written  permission;

               (b)     contact  any  former employer's customers or employees to
solicit  their  business  or  employment  on  behalf  of  the  Group;  or

               (c)     distribute  announcements about or otherwise publicize my
employment  with  the  Group.

I  will  indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any liabilities, including
defense  costs,  it  may  incur because I am alleged to have broken any of these
promises  or improperly revealed or used such proprietary information or to have
threatened  to  do  so, or if a former employer challenges my entering into this
Agreement  or  rendering  services  pursuant  to  it.

          18.     DEPARTMENT  OF HOMELAND SECURITY VERIFICATION REQUIREMENT.  If
I have not already done so, I agree to timely file all documents required by the
Department  of  Homeland Security to verify my identity and my lawful employment
in the United States. Notwithstanding any other p revision of this Agreement, if
I  fail to meet any such requirements promptly after receiving a written request
from  the  Company  to  do  so,  I  agree  that  my  employment  shall terminate
immediately  and  that  I  shall  not  be  entitled to any compensation from the
Company  of  any  type.

                               DEED OF TRUST NOTE

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, VIASYS SERVICES, INC., a Florida
                                          ---------------------
corporation ("Borrower") promises to pay to the order of COMCORPS, INC. whose
                                                         --------------
address is 1713 Dawson Road, Albany, Georgia 31707, a Georgia corporation, its
successors and assigns, (the "Lender") at such offices, or at such other place
or places as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the
principal sum of ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($1,100,000.00) (the "Loan"), or so much thereof as shall have been advanced,
together with interest at the rate or rates hereinafter provided until paid,
said principal and interest being due and payable as set forth herein.

     The principal sum of the Loan and interest thereon shall be paid as
follows:

          (a)     Interest shall accrue on so much of the principal balance of
the Loan as shall from time to time be advanced and remain unpaid at the fixed
interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.

          (b)     Payments of interest only shall be due and payable monthly in
arrears on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month until maturity,
commencing on February 1, 2006 (the "First Payment Date");

          (c)     The entire principal amount of the Loan, and any accrued but
unpaid interest, and any unpaid fees and costs, shall be due and payable on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date of the sale of the Property (as hereafter
defined) or (ii) the date which is one (1) year after the date of this Note (the
"Maturity Date"); and,

          (d)     The Loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time
without penalty or premium.

          (e)     The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 30/360
simple interest basis; that is, with the exeception of odd days before January
1, 2006, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the annual
interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal
balance, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days is
calculated on the basis of the actual days to the next full month and a 360-day
year.

<PAGE>
     Payments made on account hereof shall be applied first to the payment of
late charges or other fees and costs owed to the Lender, next to the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest, and then to principal, or in such other order or
proportion as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.

     The Borrower agrees to pay on demand any expenditures made by the Lender in
accordance with the Deed of Trust (as defined herein), including, but not
limited to, the payment of taxes, special assessments, insurance premiums, and
the cost of maintenance and preservation of the property described in the Deed
of Trust. At the option of the Lender, all such expenditures may be added to the
unpaid principal balance of this Note and become a part of and on a parity with
the principal indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust and other instruments
executed herewith, and shall accrue interest at the rate as may be payable from
time to time on the original principal indebtedness, or may be declared
immediately due and payable.

     If default be made in the payment of any installment of interest due under
this Note, and if such default shall continue for a period of ten (10) days
after written notice to Borrower from the date such payment was due, or if
default be made in the performance of any other covenant herein contained, and
if such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice to the Borrower, then the entire principal sum outstanding, together with
accrued interest thereon, fees and costs, if any, shall at once become due and
payable at the option of the Lender without further notice. If default be made
in the performance of any covenant of the Deed of Trust, or any other guaranty
given or agreement entered into to secure this Note, and if such default shall
continue for the duration of any applicable grace period therein contained, the
entire principal sum outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, fees
and costs, if any, shall at once become due arid payable at the option of the
Lender without further notice. Failure to exercise any of the options
aforementioned or the failure to exercise any other option herein or in the Deed
of Trust provided for shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the
same in the event of any subsequent default. Acceleration of maturity, once
claimed by the Lender, may at its option be rescinded by an instrument in
writing to that effect; however, the tender and acceptance of a partial payment
or partial performance shall not, by itself, affect or rescind such acceleration
of maturity.

     Upon a default in the payment of an amount due under this Note and the
expiration of any cure period, or upon the occurrence of a Default, as that term
is defined in the Deed of Trust, the holder of this Note may, in the holder's
sole discretion and without notice or demand, in addition to any other remedy
the holder of this Note may exercise, raise the rate of interest accruing on the
unpaid principal balance of this Note by five (5) percentage points above the
interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder (the "Default Rate"). If judgment
is entered against the Borrower on this Note, the amount of such judgment
entered (which may include principal, interest, fees and costs) shall bear
interest at such Default Rate as of the date of entry of judgment. The exemption
of personal property from levy and sale is hereby expressly waived and no
benefit of exemption shall be claimed under any exemption law now in force or
which may be hereafter adopted.

                                        2

     Lender reserves the right at its sole discretion to extend its note, and/or
increase the interest rate and/or monthly payment on any date the loan evidenced
hereby becomes due in full, either by maturity or by default, without giving
notice to junior lienholders. The foregoing shall not imply any consent to any
junior liens, and no secondary financing secured by Borrower's interest in the
subject property will be allowed by Lender.

     In the event any installment due under this Note is paid more than ten (10)
days after the date when the same is due, then the Lender shall be entitled to
collect a "late charge" in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such
installment.

     In the event it shall become necessary to employ counsel to collect this
obligation or to protect the security hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay
reasonable attorney's fees, whether suit be brought or not, and all other costs
and expenses reasonably connected with collection, the protection of the
security, the defense of any counterclaim wherein the Lender is successful, the
enforcement (including without limitation, as a part of any proceeding brought
under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended) of any remedies herein
provided for, or provided for in the Deed of Trust, and the enforcement of any
guaranty.

     The validity and construction of this Note and all matters pertaining
thereto are to be determined according to the laws of the jurisdiction where the
property described in the Deed of Trust is located.

     Any  delay  or  failure  by  the  Lender  to  act  upon any right or remedy
hereunder,  or  insist  upon  strict  performance  by  the Maker of any terms or
conditions  hereunder,  at any time or from time-to-time, shall not constitute a
waiver  of  the  right,  remedy, terms or conditions hereunder, and Lender shall
have  the  right  to  thereafter  act  or  insist  upon the strict terms hereof.

     In the event any provision of this Note (or any part of any provision) is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction 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 as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had not been contained in this Note,
but only to the extent it is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

     All notices, demands, requests and other communications required pursuant
to the provisions of this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been properly given or served for all purposes when presented personally, one
(1) day after having been sent overnight delivery by a nationally recognized
overnight courier, or three (3) days after having been sent by United States
Registered or Certified Mail - Return Receipt Requested, postage prepaid, to the
Borrower at 7750 Professional Place, Tampa, Florida 33637; and to the Lender at
the address stated in the first paragraph of this Note.

     The Lender and Borrower may designate a change of address by notice in
writing to the other party. Whenever in this Note the giving of notice by mail
or otherwise is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in writing by
the person entitled to receive such notice.

                                        3

     It is the intention of the Borrower and the Lender to conform strictly to
applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby
would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the jurisdiction
in which the property described in Exhibit A to the Deed of Trust is located and
                                   ---------
the laws of the United States of America) then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any agreement entered into in connection with or as
security for this Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all
consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted
for, charged or received under this Note or under any of the other aforesaid
agreements or otherwise in connection with this Note shall under no
circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law,
and any excess shall be credited, first, on fees and costs, if any, due on this
Note and, secondly, on the principal balance due on this Note by the Lender (or,
if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower) and (ii) in
the event that maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an election by
the Lender resulting from any default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of
any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes
interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable
law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Note or otherwise shall
be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment
and, if therefore prepaid, shall be credited, first, on fees and costs, if any,
due on this Note and, secondly, on the principal balance due on this Note (or if
this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower).

     The Borrower represents and warrants that the loan evidenced by this Note
was made, and transacted solely for the purpose of carrying on or acquiring a
business or commercial enterprise.

     As used in this Note, the singular shall include the plural and the plural
shall include the singular, where the context shall so require.

     This Note shall be the obligation of the Obligors hereof and shall apply to
and bind them and each of their respective successors, personal representatives
and assigns.

     In the event that the unpaid principal amount hereof at any time, for any
reason, exceeds the maximum amount hereinabove specified, the Borrower covenants
and agrees to pay the excess principal amount forthwith upon demand; such excess
principal amount shall in all respects be deemed to be included among the
advances made pursuant to the other terms of this Note and shall bear interest
at the rate or rates hereinabove stated.

     The Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints (which appointment
shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest) LAURENCE ROSCHER (or any other
attorney appointed by the holder of this Note) as the Borrower's true and lawful
attorney in fact, to appear for the Borrower before the Clerk of the Circuit
Court of the City of Chesapeake, Virginia, or any other court of competent
jurisdiction and after one or more declarations filed, confess judgment against
the Borrower as of any time after any sum is due hereunder (whether by demand,
stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise) for the unpaid balance of this Note
and interest, with court costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees.
Borrower waives the benefit

                                        4
<PAGE>
of any and every statute, ordinance, or rule of court which may be lawfully
waived conferring upon the Borrower any right or privilege or exemption, stay of
execution or supplementary proceedings, or other relief from the enforcement, or
immediate enforcement of a confessed judgment or related proceedings on a
judgment. The exemption of personal property from levy and sale is hereby
expressly waived and no benefit of exemption shall be claimed under any
exemption law now in force or which may be hereafter adopted. Borrower consents
to venue in the Commonwealth of Virginia with respect to the institution of an
action confessing judgment hereon, regardless of where venue would otherwise be
proper. Any judgment entered against Borrower, whether by confession or
otherwise, shall bear interest at a rate which is the highest rate of interest
being paid by Borrower on the date of 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 the Lender or its assigns shall deem
necessary or advisable until all sums due hereunder have been paid in full.

     THE BORROWER HEREBY (i) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (ii) 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 the 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. The Lender is hereby authorized and requested to submit this Note to any
court having jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties hereto, so as
to serve as conclusive evidence of the Borrower's waiver of the right to jury
trial. Further, the Borrower hereby certifies that no representative or agent of
the Lender (including the Lender's counsel) has represented, expressly or
otherwise, to the Borrower that the Lender will not seek to enforce this waiver
of right to jury trial provision.

     THE BORROWER AND ANY ENDORSERS, GUARANTORS AND SURETIES (INDIVIDUALLY AN
"OBLIGOR" AND COLLECTIVELY THE "OBLIGORS") JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, TO THE EXTENT
LAWFUL, HEREBY EXPRESSLY RELINQUISH AND WAIVE EACH AND EVERY RIGHT, DEFENSE OR
CLAIM THAT FOLLOWS: (a) ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE LENDER TO FIRST ENFORCE ITS
REMEDIES AGAINST ANY PARTICULAR PARTY; (b) ANY RIGHT TO REQUIRE LENDER TO HAVE
RECOURSE AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL HELD OR NOT HELD BY THE MAKER; (c) ANY AND ALL
RIGHTS UNDER OR PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 49-25 AND 49-26 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA,
1950 AS AMENDED; (d) ENFORCEMENT OF AND COLLECTION ARISING FROM ALL RIGHTS OF
SUBROGATION AS AMONG THE OBLIGORS, UNTIL ALL INDEBTEDNESS SHALL HAVE BEEN PAID
IN FULL TO THE LENDER, EVEN THOUGH SUCH INDEBTEDNESS IS IN EXCESS OF ANY
LIABILITY HEREUNDER; (e) ALL RIGHTS OF OR TO PRESENTMENTS, DEMANDS FOR
PERFORMANCE, NOTICES OF NONPERFORMANCE, PROTESTS, NOTICES OF PROTEST, DEMANDS,
NOTICES OF DEMANDS, NOTICES OF DISHONOR, NOTICES OF NON-PAYMENT (EXCEPT

AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN) AND OF THE EXISTENCE, CREATION, OR
INCURRING OF NEW OR ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS OF THE MAKER; (f) ALL RIGHTS TO
REQUIRE WRITTEN ACCEPTANCE OF THIS NOTE BY LENDER; AND, (g) THE RIGHT TO
INTERPOSE ANY DEFENSE BASED UPON ANY STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS OR ANY CLAIM OF
LACHES, INDULGENCES, DETERIORATION OF SECURITY, EXTENSION OF TIME OF PAYMENT,
RENEWALS AND MODIFICATIONS. EACH OF THE OBLIGORS REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT
LEGAL COUNSEL OF CHOICE HAS BEEN RETAINED TO REVIEW AND INTERPRET THIS NOTE AND
ALL WAIVERS AND RELEASES CONTAINED HEREIN, SAID COUNSEL HAVING EXPLAINED AND
ADVISED EACH OF THE OBLIGORS AS TO THE NOTE'S CONTENTS AND MEANING. MOREOVER,
EACH OF THE OBLIGORS FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT EACH COMPLETELY
UNDERSTANDS THIS NOTE HAVING SEEN AND READ ITS CONTENTS, AND IS EXECUTING THIS
NOTE VOLUNTARILY AND WITH THE FREE CONSENT AND DESIRE OF EACH OBLIGOR FOR GOOD
AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION. MOREOVER, EACH OBLIGOR HAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED
EACH OF THE ABOVE RELEASES AND WAIVERS, AND HAS BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF THE
CHOICES AVAILABLE TO EACH OBLIGOR AS TO THE MEANING AND EFFECT OF EACH OF THE
RELEASES AND WAIVERS AND HAS FREELY AGREED TO EXECUTE THIS NOTE. EACH OBLIGOR
WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION AVAILABLE TO SAID OBLIGOR, TO THE
EXTENT IT MAY BE LAWFULLY WAIVED.

     This  Note is secured by the lien of the Deed of Trust (the Deed of Trust")
of  even  date  herewith  conveying  in trust to Laurence Roscher, Trustee, (the
"Trustee"),  interests  in  certain  real  property  located  in  the  City  of

Grantor hereby grants and conveys its fee simple estate in the Land and the

other act by the Grantor, shall become subject to the lien of this Deed of Trust
as fully and completely, and with the same effect, as though now owned by the
Grantor and specifically described in the granting clause hereof;
notwithstanding the foregoing, at any and all times the Grantor will execute and
-----------------------------
deliver to the Trustee any and all such further assurances, modifications, deeds
of trust, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Trustee or the Beneficiary

the same to the lien of this Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 2.3. SECURITY AGREEMENT. With respect to the Equipment and the
                 -------------------
other personal property included in the Security Property, this Deed of Trust
shall be a security agreement between the Grantor and the Beneficiary
encumbering each and every item of the Equipment and other personal property to
secure the Obligations. The Grantor agrees to execute

                                        4
<PAGE>
and file among the land records in the jurisdiction in which the Property is
located, and in such other offices or jurisdictions as the Beneficiary may

Beneficiary from time to time further to evidence and confirm such assignment.
The foregoing assignment constitutes an absolute, present and irrevocable
assignment and shall be fully operative in accordance with its terms without any
further action by the parties hereto. Grantor shall cause that the amounts
hereby assigned are delivered directly to the Beneficiary and Beneficiary shall
collect such amounts and post them to the Grantor's account with Beneficiary via

unrestricted control and possession of the amounts hereby assigned upon the
occurrence of a Default and upon the election of the Beneficiary to exercise or
have the Trustees exercise any of the available remedies under this Deed of
Trust. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to interfere in any way
with the ability of the Trustees to sell any of the Security Property at
foreclosure under the Deed of Trust or to prevent the Beneficiary or the
Trustees from exercising any of the other remedies afforded them under this Deed
of Trust.

     SECTION 2.5. ASSIGNMENT OF CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND AGREEMENTS. As additional
                  -----------------------------------------------
security for the payment of the Loan, Borrower hereby transfers and assigns to
Lender and grants Lender a security interest in all of Borrower's rights and
interest, but not its obligations in, under, and to any and all Construction
Plans and Agreements, when and if such are entered into or obtained. Upon
entering into any Construction Plans and Agreements, Borrower agrees to promptly
provide Lender with a true and complete copy thereof. Neither this assignment
nor any action by Lender shall constitute an assumption by Lender of any
obligation under such Construction Plans or Agreements, and Borrower shall
continue to be liable for all obligations of Borrower thereunder, Borrower
hereby agreeing to perform all of its obligations under any such Construction
Plans and Agreements. Borrower indemnifies and holds Lender harmless against and
from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including, but not limited to,
attorneys' fees and expenses) resulting from any failure of Borrower to so
perform. This assignment shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors
and assigns, including any purchaser upon foreclosure of this Deed of Trust, and
any receiver in possession of the Property.

     SECTION 2.6. RELEASE OF LIEN. Upon the payment in full of all of the
                  ---------------
Obligations and if there is no commitment by the Beneficiary to make further
advances, incur obligations or otherwise give value under any of the Loan
Documents, the Beneficiary will (as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt
of notice from the Borrower requesting the same but at the expense of the
Borrower), in accordance with applicable law, direct the Trustees to release the
lien of this Deed of Trust.

                                   ARTICLE III
                              COVENANTS OF GRANTOR

                  -----------------------
owed and perform all other obligations secured by any other lien now or
hereafter placed on the Property.

     SECTION 3.2. MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY. The Grantor shall keep the
                  ---------------------------
Property in good condition and repair and shall not (i) commit or permit waste
to be committed thereon, (ii) make or allow any alterations or additions thereto
without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary or (iii) do or suffer to be
done any act which will or may decrease the value of the Property.

     SECTION 3.3. USE OF PROPERTY; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. The
                  ---------------------------------------------------
Grantor shall cause the Property to be used and the Improvements constructed in
a professional and commercially reasonable manner, and shall comply with all
Legal Requirements, whether now existing or later enacted, whether foreseen or
unforeseen, and whether involving any change in governmental policy or requiring
structural or other changes to the Property, irrespective of the cost of making
the same. Without the prior consent of the Beneficiary, the Grantor shall not
(i) initiate, support or acquiesce in (A) any zoning reclassification of the
Property, including, without limitation, a rezoning to a less intensive use than
is currently permitted or (B) the issuance of a variance or conditional or
special use permit for the Property, (ii) impose or consent to any restrictive
covenant upon the Property, (iii) file or consent to the filing of any
subdivision plat affecting the Property or (iv) consent to the annexation of the
Property by any municipality. The Grantor shall promptly notify the Beneficiary
of any proposed zoning reclassification, variance, conditional or special use
permit, restrictive covenant, subdivision or annexation affecting the Property.

     SECTION 3.4. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Grantor shall at all times comply
                  ---------------------
with its obligations under all recorded restrictions, conditions, easements and
covenants ("Restrictive Covenants") encumbering the Property and shall duly
enforce its rights under all Restrictive Covenants encumbering other property
for the benefit of the Land and/or the Improvements. If the Grantor receives any
notice (whether oral or written) that any Restrictive Covenant has been
violated, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Beneficiary and take such steps
as the Beneficiary may require to correct such violation.

     SECTION 3.5. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY. The Grantor shall not enter into a
                  ----------------------
management agreement or otherwise permit any other party to manage the
construction and/or operation of

                                        6
<PAGE>
the Property without the Beneficiary's prior consent. If the Beneficiary
approves a management agreement or arrangement, the Grantor shall, at the
Beneficiary's request, assign its interest thereunder to the Beneficiary as
additional security for the Obligations.

     SECTION 3.6. IMPOSITIONS. The Grantor shall pay when due all Impositions.
                  -----------
However, after giving the Beneficiary ten days' notice of its intention to do
so, the Grantor may, in good faith, at its own expense and in its own name,
contest any Imposition other than an insurance premium. In the event of such a
contest, the Grantor may permit the Imposition being contested to remain unpaid
during the period of the contest and any subsequent appeal unless, in the
reasonable opinion of the Beneficiary, such action may impair the lien of this
Deed of Trust or any security interest granted to the Beneficiary by any of the
Loan Documents, in which event the Grantor shall satisfy such Imposition
promptly or the payment thereof shall be secured by posting with the Beneficiary
a bond with surety or a letter of credit, either of which must be issued by an
institution approved by and in a form and amount approved by the Beneficiary.
Upon request, the Grantor shall furnish the Beneficiary proof of payment of all
Impositions.

     SECTION 3.7. INSURANCE. The Grantor shall maintain at its expense or
                  ---------
arrange to have provided for its benefit, and for the benefit of the
Beneficiary, such insurance policies with respect to the Property as the
Beneficiary may reasonably require, with such insurance companies and in such
amounts as shall, at all times, be satisfactory to Beneficiary, and with loss
payable to the Beneficiary, including, without limitation (ii) insurance against
all risks of physical loss and damage to the Improvements and the Equipment in
the amount of the full replacement cost thereof without deduction for
depreciation, (iii) insurance in the amount of at least $3,000,000.00 combined
single limit against liability for bodily injury (and death resulting
therefrom), and (iv) insurance against liability for damage to property. Each
policy shall provide that it may not be cancelled, modified or allowed to lapse
without at least 30 days' prior written notice to the Beneficiary. The Grantor
shall deliver to the Beneficiary originals or certified copies of all policies
of insurance it is required to maintain. Beneficiary shall be listed as an
additional insured on all such insurance policies.

     SECTION 3.8. INSURANCE AND TAX ESCROW. If required by the Beneficiary, the
                  ------------------------
Grantor shall pay the Beneficiary monthly, together with and in addition to the
payments of principal of and interest on the Note and any sums due under any of
the other Loan Documents, an amount determined by the Beneficiary to be
necessary to enable the Beneficiary to pay each Imposition one month before it
becomes due. If the total payments made to the Beneficiary pursuant to the
preceding sentence are less than the amount required to pay any Imposition one
month before it becomes due, the Grantor shall pay the Beneficiary, on demand,
the amount necessary to make up such deficiency. If there is an excess of such
payments, the excess will reduce subsequent payments required under this Section
3.8. The Beneficiary shall not be required to pay interest on any sums held
pursuant to this Section 3.8. If a Default has occurred, the Beneficiary may at
its option apply any amounts received pursuant to this Section 3.8 to the
payment of the Obligations in such order as the Beneficiary may elect.

     SECTION 3.9. SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE OF THE PROPERTY. The Note shall become
                  -----------------------------------
immediately due and payable, and a default shall occur hereunder if the Grantor
should,

                                        7
<PAGE>
without the prior written consent of the Beneficiary, (i) sell or transfer, the
Property or any portion thereof, or any interest therein; (ii) encumber or
pledge the Property or any interest therein, in whole or in part, (iii) grant a
lien or security, interest in the Property or any portion thereof or (iv) permit
any mechanic's, materialman's, laborer's, statutory or other lien (whether or
not junior to the liens created by this Deed of Trust) to be created, filed of
record or remain outstanding upon all or any part of the Property. For purposes
of this Section 3.9, any change, or any transaction which results or could
result in any change, in the Control of the Grantor shall be deemed a transfer
of the Property. As used in this Section 3.9, the term "Control" means (a)
ownership, control, or power to vote 20% or more of any membership interest of
the Grantor, directly or indirectly or acting through one or more other persons;
(b) control in any manner over the election or appointment of a majority of the
directors, trustees, managers or general partners (or individuals exercising
similar functions) of the Grantor; (c) the direct or indirect power to exercise
a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Grantor, whether
through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise; or (d)
conditioning in any manner the transfer of 20% or more of any class of voting
securities of the Grantor upon the transfer of 20% or more of any membership
interest of another person.

     SECTION 3.10. PAYMENT OF FILING FEES AND TAXES. The Grantor will pay all
                   --------------------------------
fees, taxes and expenses incident to the execution, acknowledgment, recording
and filing of any of the Loan Documents or any amendment or supplement hereto,
and any instrument of further assurance relating to its compliance with the
terms, conditions and covenants contained in any of the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 3.11. RIGHT OF INSPECTION. The Beneficiary and the Trustees shall
                   -------------------
have the right to enter upon and inspect the Property at such reasonable time or
times as they may desire, either in person or through their duly authorized
agents or representatives.

     SECTION 3.12. TAXATION OF DEED OF TRUST. In the event of the enactment
                   -------------------------
after the date of this Deed of Trust of any Legal Requirement changing in any
way the laws for the taxation of deeds of trust or debts secured thereby, or the
manner of the collection of any such taxes, so as to adversely affect the
Beneficiary, the Grantor shall, upon 30 days' prior written request from the
Beneficiary assume and agree, in writing, to pay any additional amount which the
Beneficiary would otherwise be required to pay because of such change, and
thereafter such amount shall be deemed an Imposition.

          (c)     Indemnification. Grantor covenants and agrees, at Grantor's
                  ---------------
sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend (at trial and appellate levels, and

presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, under

minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or
otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety,
welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with environmental
Legal Requirements in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any
surrounding areas. The indemnity set forth in this Section 3.13 shall also
include any diminution in the value of the security afforded by the Property or
any future reduction in the sales price of the Property by reason of any matter
set forth in this Section 3.13. The foregoing indemnity shall specifically not
include any such costs relating to Hazardous Materials which are initially
placed on, in or under the Property after foreclosure or other taking of title
to the Property by Beneficiary or its successor or assigns. Beneficiary's rights
under this Section shall survive payment in full of the Loan and shall be in
addition to all other rights of Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, the Note
and the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 3.14. PAYMENT OF COSTS. In addition to such other amounts as it has
                   ----------------

to be performed by it and that the liens and security interests granted by this
Deed of Trust are perfected and preserved.

                      DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION

     SECTION 4.1. NOTICE. In the case of (i) any damage to or destruction of all
                  ------
or any part of the Property, (ii) a Condemnation of all or any part of the

<PAGE>
notice thereof to the Beneficiary describing generally the nature and extent of
such damage, destruction, Condemnation, loss, proceeding or negotiation.

     SECTION 4.2. RESTORATION OF THE PROPERTY. If all or any part of the
                  ---------------------------
Property is destroyed or damaged and the Beneficiary permits the available
proceeds of insurance to be applied to such repair or restoration, the Grantor
shall promptly repair or restore the Property to its condition immediately
before such damage or destruction, with such alterations and additions as the
Beneficiary may approve.

     SECTION 4.3. APPLICATION OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
                  ---------------------------------

          (a)     If all or any part of the Property is destroyed or damaged,
the Beneficiary may, after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred in the
collection and administration of the proceeds of any insurance paid because of
such damage or destruction (including attorneys' fees), at its option (i) apply
the remainder of such proceeds to the payment of such of the Obligations as then
may be due in such order as the Beneficiary may determine, (ii) hold the
remainder of such proceeds as additional collateral for the Obligations or (iii)
make the remainder of such proceeds available to the Grantor for the purpose of
repairing or restoring the Property as required by Section 4.2 of this Deed of
Trust subject to such terms and conditions as the Beneficiary would customarily
impose with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of a real estate
construction loan. If the insurance proceeds are applied to the cost of
repairing or restoring the Property, any balance of such proceeds remaining
after the completion of the repair or restoration work may, at the Beneficiary's
option, (i) be applied to the payment of such of the Obligations as may be then
due in such order as the Beneficiary may determine, (ii) be held by the
Beneficiary as additional Collateral for the Obligations and/or (iii) be
released to the Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the
same.

          (b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
4.2 or subsection (a) of this Section 4.3, to the extent the Grantor shall
satisfy the provisions of subsection (c) below, the Grantor shall be entitled,
upon written request made to the Beneficiary, to apply such insurance proceeds
to the repair or reconstruction of the Property. Any application of such
amounts, or any portion thereof, to any indebtedness secured hereby or any
release of funds by the Beneficiary to the Grantor shall not be construed to
cure or waive any Default (or notice of Default) hereunder or invalidate any act
done pursuant to any such Default (or notice). The foregoing provisions of this
subsection (b) shall not cover any liability insurance, or proceeds thereof,
obtained or received by the Grantor or to which the Grantor is entitled with
respect to the Property.

          (c)     If the Grantor shall seek to apply any such proceeds to the
rebuilding and restoration of the Property so damaged, then the Grantor shall be
required to have fulfilled all of the following conditions: (i) no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, as defined in this Deed of Trust or in the
Note; (ii) the Beneficiary shall be satisfied that the insurance proceeds shall
be initially and at all times during reconstruction sufficient to fully restore
and rebuild the Property free and clear of all liens except the lien of this
Deed of Trust (and any other liens expressly approved by the Beneficiary or the
terms of this Deed of Trust), or, in the

                                       11
<PAGE>
event that such proceeds are in the Beneficiary's judgment insufficient at any
time to restore and rebuild the Property, then the Grantor shall deposit
promptly with the Beneficiary funds which, together with the insurance proceeds,
shall be sufficient in the Beneficiary's judgment to restore and rebuild the
Property; (iii) construction and completion of restoration and rebuilding of the
Property shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications and
drawings submitted to and approved by the Beneficiary, which plans,
specifications and drawings shall not be modified in any respect without the
Beneficiary's prior written consent; (iv) any and all monies which are made
available for restoration and rebuilding hereunder shall be disbursed through
the Beneficiary, Trustees or a title insurance company satisfactory to the
Beneficiary, in accordance with standard construction lending practice,
including, if requested by the Beneficiary, monthly lien approved by the
Beneficiary in the Beneficiary's sole discretion; (v) the Beneficiary shall be
satisfied that the quality of the materials and workmanship of the repair or
reconstruction of the Property will be at least equal to the quality of the
materials and workmanship of the Property prior to such damage; (vi) restoration
and/or reconstruction of the Property shall be completed prior to the maturity
of the Note. The excess of said insurance proceeds above the amount necessary to
complete such restoration or rebuilding, if any, shall be disbursed to the
Grantor if the Beneficiary determines, in its sole discretion, that its security
under this Deed of Trust will not be impaired.

     SECTION 4.4. CONDEMNATION. If all or any substantial portion of the
                  ------------
Property shall be damaged, taken or transferred through Condemnation, then the
entire amount of all compensation and other amounts payable as a result of such
Condemnation shall, at the Beneficiary's option, (i) be applied to the payment
of such of the Obligations as may be then due in such order as the Beneficiary
may determine and/or (ii) be held by the Beneficiary as additional collateral
for the Obligations. The term "substantial portion of the Property" as used in
this Section 4.4 shall mean so much of the Property as shall have, in the
Beneficiary's opinion, a material effect on the ability of the Grantor, as
applicable, to use and operate the Property in the same manner as it is
currently being used and operated, to make required payments of principal and
interest on the Note or otherwise to pay and perform the Obligations. No
settlement respecting any Condemnation shall be effected without the consent of
the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary and the Trustees are each hereby authorized, at
their option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in their own names or in the
name of the Grantor, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation, and
to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. If less than a
substantial portion of the Property is damaged, taken or transferred in a
Condemnation, then the Beneficiary, after deducting from the Condemnation
proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of
such sums, including attorneys' fees, may (i) apply the remainder of such
proceeds to the payment of such of the Obligations as may then be due in such
order as the Beneficiary may determine, (ii) hold the remainder of such proceeds
as additional collateral for the Obligations or (iii) require the Grantor to
repair, restore or replace the Property or the affected portion thereof as
nearly as practical to its condition immediately prior to the Condemnation, and
in such event any proceeds of the Condemnation shall be applied to the costs of
such repair, restoration or replacement on the same terms and conditions as are
specified in Section 4.3 of this Deed of Trust regarding the application of
insurance proceeds.

Grantor, (B) the impairment of the value of the Property, or (C) the impairment
of the prospect of payment or performance of any of the Obligations;

          (iv)     the occurrence of any default under any of the documents
evidencing any indebtedness secured by a lien against the Property or any part
thereof which is subordinate or prior to the lien of this Deed of Trust;

          (v)     the death, incompetence, merger, consolidation,

and the Beneficiary or the Trustees, or their employees or agents may enter and
take possession of the Property, without the appointment of a receiver or filing
an application therefor, and may exclude the Grantor and its employees and
agents wholly therefrom. If the Grantor shall fail, upon demand, to surrender
the Property, the Beneficiary or the Trustees may obtain a judgment or decree

                  ------------------------

          (a)     Right to Manage, Etc. Upon any entering or taking possession
                  --------------------

or the Trustees may use, manage, operate and control the Property and, in so
doing, shall have access to the books, papers and accounts of the Grantor

addition, the Beneficiary or the Trustees may (i) complete any construction then

at the option of the Beneficiary, (i) applied to the payment of such of the
Obligations as may be then due in such order as the Beneficiary may determine or
(ii) held by the Beneficiary as additional collateral for the Obligations.

          (b)     Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. For the purpose of carrying
                  -------------------------------
out the provisions of Section 5.4(a) of this Deed of Trust, the Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Beneficiary and the Trustees, any one of whom may act,
the true and lawful attorneys-in-fact for the Grantor and authorizes them, or
any one of them, to perform any act described in Section 5.4(a) and any and all
actions necessary and incidental thereto. This power of attorney is a power
coupled with an interest which cannot be revoked.

     SECTION 5.5. APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the
                  -----------------------
Beneficiary, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be

receiver to take possession of and to operate

                                       14
<PAGE>
the  Property  and to collect all amounts assigned hereunder. The receiver shall
have  all  of  the  rights  and  powers  permitted  under  the laws of Virginia.

     SECTION 5.6. ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT Upon the occurrence of a Default, the
                  -------------------
Beneficiary may undertake or direct to be undertaken a full or partial
environmental audit and site inspection of the Property, taking all reasonable
measures to determine the condition of the Property and the Grantor's compliance
with applicable environmental Legal Requirements and the Grantor shall cooperate
fully with such audit and inspection.

     SECTION 5.7. RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. If any Default occurs hereunder or
                  ----------------------

notice to pr demand upon the Grantor and without waiving or releasing such
Default (in addition to any other rights and remedies they may 9 have), may, but
shall be under no obligation to, make any payment or take such action as may be
necessary to cure the Default. If the Beneficiary makes any payment or takes any
action to satisfy the requirements of any instrument imposing a lien on the
Property which is prior to the lien of this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary shall
be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such prior lien.

     SECTION 5.8. FORECLOSURE. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the
                  -----------
Beneficiary, at its option, may effect the foreclosure of this Deed of Trust by
directing the Trustees to sell all of the Property, any one or more parcels of
the Property (if more than one) or any portion or portions thereof, as the
Beneficiary may select, at public auction at such time and place and upon such
terms and conditions as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after
having first advertised the time, place and terms of sale not less than once a
week for three successive weeks (the last day of which may be the day of sale)
in a newspaper having general circulation in the city or county in which the
Property lies. In the event of any such sale, the Beneficiary may bid for and
purchase the Property (or such portion thereof as may be offered for sale) and
shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the amount secured by this Deed of
Trust as a credit to the purchase price. At any foreclosure sale, such portion
of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the Beneficiary's option, be
offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted
for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without
assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving
the application of any doctrine of marshaling. If less than all of the Property
is sold at foreclosure and any of the Obligations remain outstanding after the
sale proceeds are applied thereto, this Deed of Trust shall continue as a lien
on the Property remaining unsold, and the Beneficiary may at any time thereafter
direct the Trustees to sell the same as provided above. In connection with such
sale, the following provisions shall apply:

          (a)     The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of
this paragraph, together with any other sums which then may be held by
Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this
paragraph or otherwise, shall be applied as provided in this provision.
Beneficiary, Trustee and any receiver or custodian of the Property or any part
thereof shall be liable to account for only those rents, issues, proceeds and
profits actually received by it.

                                       15
<PAGE>
          (b)     Beneficiary and Trustee, as applicable, may adjourn from time
to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust by
announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned
sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable law,
Beneficiary or Trustee, without further notice or publication, may make such
sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

          (c)     Upon the completion of any sale or sales ordered by
Beneficiary and made by Trustee under or by virtue of this paragraph,
Beneficiary or Trustee, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall
execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and
sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying,
assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the
property and rights sold. Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and
lawful attorney-in-fact for Grantor (coupled with an interest), in its name and
stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries
of the property and rights so sold and for that purpose Trustee may execute all
necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may
substitute one or more persons with like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and
confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes
shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Nevertheless, Grantor, if so requested by
Trustee or Beneficiary, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by
executing and delivering to Beneficiary, or to such purchaser or purchasers all
such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgment of Beneficiary, for
such purpose, and as may be designated in such request. Any such sale or sales
made under or by virtue or this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale
herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or
decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right,
title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of
Grantor in and to the property and rights so sold, and shall, to the fullest
extent permitted under law, be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against
Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or
any part thereof, from, through or under Grantor.

          (d)     In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Deed
of Trust (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by
virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale),
the entire Loan relative to the Property, immediately thereupon shall, anything
in the Note, this Deed of Trust or any other of the Loan Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.

          (e)     Upon any sale under or by virtue of this Deed of Trust
(whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of
judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale),
Beneficiary may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu
of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting
the Loan to and against the net sales price after deducting therefrom the
expenses of the sale and the costs of the action.

          (f)     No recovery of any judgment by Beneficiary and no levy of an
execution under any judgment upon the Property or any part thereof or upon any
other property of Grantor shall release the lien of this Deed of Trust upon the
Property or any part thereof, or any liens,

                                       16
<PAGE>
rights, powers or remedies of Beneficiary hereunder, but such liens, rights,
powers and remedies of Beneficiary shall continue unimpaired until the entire
Loan is paid in full.

     SECTION 5.8.A. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. To the fullest extent permitted by
                    -----------------------
law, the proceeds of any sale under this Deed of Trust shall be applied, to the
extent funds are so available, to the following items in such order as
Beneficiary in its discretion may determine:

          (a)     To payment of the reasonable costs, expenses and fees of
taking possession of the Property, and of holding, operating, maintaining,
using, leasing, repairing, improving, marketing and selling the same and of
otherwise enforcing Beneficiary's rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, receivers' fees, court
costs, attorneys', accountants', appraisers', managers' and other professional

Grantor or to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.

     SECTION 5.9. NO REINSTATEMENT. If a Default shall have occurred and the
                  ----------------
Beneficiary or the Trustees shall have commenced to exercise any of the remedies
permitted hereunder, then a tender of payment by the Grantor or by anyone on
behalf of the Grantor of the amount necessary to satisfy all sums due hereunder,

without the prior consent of the Beneficiary, constitute a reinstatement of the

to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement,
valuation, stay, extension, homestead exemption or redemption law now or
hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the
provisions of this Deed of Trust and hereby waives to the full extent that it
may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws.

     SECTION 5.13. COSTS INCURRED BY BENEFICIARY AND TRUSTEES. Any and all costs

                   --------------------

------------------------
Commonwealth of Virginia, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary:

          (a)     Acceleration; Remedies. At any time during the existence of an
Event of Default, Beneficiary, at Beneficiary's option, may declare the Loan to
be immediately due and payable without further demand, and may invoke the power
of sale and any other remedies permitted by Virginia law or provided in this
Deed of Trust or in any other Loan Document. Grantor acknowledges that the power
of sale granted in this Deed of Trust may be exercised by Beneficiary without
prior judicial hearing. Grantor has the right to bring an action to assert that
an Event of Default does not exist or to raise any other defense Grantor may
have to acceleration and sale. Beneficiary shall be entitled to collect all
costs and expenses incurred in pursuing such remedies, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, costs of documentary evidence, abstracts and title reports.

          If Beneficiary invokes the power of sale, Beneficiary or Trustee shall
deliver a copy of a notice of sale to Grantor in the manner prescribed by
Virginia law. Trustee shall give public notice of the sale in the manner
prescribed by Section 55-59.2 of the Code of Virginia (1950) and shall sell the
Property in accordance with Virginia law. Grantor agrees that publication of a
notice of sale once (1) per week for four (4) successive weeks in a newspaper
having general circulation in the city or county in which the Property is
located shall constitute

                                       21
<PAGE>
sufficient notice of the sale. Trustee, without demand on Grantor, shall sell
the Property at public auction to the highest bidder at the time and place and
under the terms designated in the notice of sale in one or more parcels and in
such order as Trustee may determine. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any
part of the Property by public announcement at the time and place of any
previously scheduled sale or by advertising in accordance with Virginia law.
Beneficiary or Beneficiary's designee may purchase the Property at any sale.

          Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser at the sale Trustee's deed
conveying the Property so sold with special warranty of title. The recitals in
Trustee's deed shall be prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements made
in those recitals. Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale in the following
order: (a) to all costs and expenses of the sale, including Trustee's fees at an
hourly rate considered reasonable in the jurisdiction, not to exceed a total
charge of five percent (5%) of the gross sale price, reasonable attorneys' fees
and costs of title evidence; (b) to the discharge of all taxes, if any, as
provided by Virginia law; (c) to the Loan in such order as Beneficiary, in
Beneficiary's discretion, directs; and (d) the excess, if any, to the person or
persons legally entitled to the excess, including, if any, the holders of liens
inferior to . this Deed of Trust in the order of their priority, provided that
Trustee has actual notice of such liens. Trustee shall not be required to take
possession of the Property before the sale or to deliver possession of the
Property to the purchaser at the sale.

          (b)     Statutory Provisions. The following provisions of Section
55-60, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, are made applicable to this Deed of
Trust:

                  Exemptions waived.

                  Substitution of trustee permitted
                  Any trustee may act
