                      Subject to and upon the provisions of this Agreement, the
Lenders collectively, but severally, establish a revolving credit facility
(the "Revolving Credit Facility") in favor of the Borrowers.  The aggregate

herein called such Lender's "Revolving Credit Committed Amount" and the total
of each Lender's Revolving Credit Committed Amount is herein called the

Committed Amount and the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount may be

                      Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be
responsible for the Revolving Credit Commitment of any other Lender, nor will
the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations under its Revolving
Credit Commitment in any way relieve any other Lender from performing its
obligations under its Revolving Credit Commitment.

of the Borrowers may request advances under the Revolving Credit Facility in

Borrowing Base; and,

                      (b)	the aggregate outstanding principal

Facility on any Business Day.  Advances under the Revolving Loan shall be
deposited to a demand deposit account of a Borrower with the Agent or shall
be otherwise applied as directed by the Borrowers, which direction the Agent
may require to be in writing.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the
date of the requested borrowing, the Borrowers shall give the Agent oral or
written notice (a "Loan Notice") of the amount and (if requested by the
Agent) the purpose of the requested borrowing and if requested by the Agent,
be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Report.  Any oral Loan Notice shall be
confirmed in writing by the Borrowers within three (3) Business Days after
the making of the requested advance under the Revolving Loan.  Each Loan
Notice shall be irrevocable.  Upon receipt of any such Loan Notice, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of each advance to be made by
such Lender on the requested borrowing date under such Lender's Revolving
Credit Commitment.

                      Not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each requested
borrowing date for the making of advances under the Revolving Loan, each
Lender shall, if it has received timely notice from the Agent of the
Borrowers' request for such advances, make available to the Agent, in funds
immediately available to the Agent at the Agent's office set forth in Section
9.1 (Notices), such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the advances to be made on
such date.

                      In addition, each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Lenders at any time and from time to time, without further
request from or notice to the Borrowers, to make advances under the Revolving
Loan, and irrevocably authorizes the Agent to establish, without duplication,
reserves against the Borrowing Base, which the Agent, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to protect the interests
of the Agent and/or any or all of the Lenders under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, advances and reserves under the Revolving Loan
made to cover shortages, debit balances or overdrafts in the Revolving Loan
Account, principal of, and/or interest on, any Loan, the Obligations
(including, without limitation, any Letter of Credit Obligations), and/or
Enforcement Costs, prior to, on, or after the termination of other advances
under this Agreement, regardless of whether the outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loan that the Lenders may advance or the Agent may reserve
hereunder exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount or the
Borrowing Base.

                      2.1.3	Borrowing Base.
				---------------
                      As used in this Agreement, the term "Borrowing Base" means
at any time, an amount equal to the sum of (i) ninety percent (90%) of
Eligible Receivables that arise from obligations due under and from
Government Contracts and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the amount of Eligible
Receivables that arise from obligations other than due under and from
Government Contracts.

                      The Borrowing Base shall be computed based on the
Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered to and accepted by the Agent in
its sole and absolute discretion.  In the event the Borrowers fail to furnish a
Borrowing Base Report required by Section 2.1.4 (Borrowing Base Report), or
in the event the Agent believes that a Borrowing Base Report is no longer
accurate, the Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised from
time to time and without limiting other rights and remedies under this
Agreement, direct the Lenders to suspend the making of or limit advances
under the Revolving Loan and Citizens may, in its sole and absolute
discretion exercised from time to time, suspend the making or limit advances
under the Swing Line Loan.  The Agent may reduce the Borrowing Base by
amounts credited to the Collateral Account since the date of the most recent
Borrowing Base Report and by the amount of any Receivable which was included
in the Borrowing Base but which the Agent determines fails to meet the
respective criteria applicable from time to time for Eligible Receivables.

                      If at any time the total of the aggregate principal amount
of the Revolving Loan, the Swing Line Loan and Outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base, a borrowing base deficiency
("Borrowing Base Deficiency") shall exist.  Each time a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists, the Borrowers shall immediately upon notice from Agent pay
the Borrowing Base Deficiency to the Agent first to pay Citizens until the
Obligations under the Swing Line Loan have been paid in full and then for the
benefit of the Lenders from time to time.

                      Without implying any limitation on the Agent's discretion
with respect to the Borrowing Base, the criteria for Eligible Receivables
contained in the definition of Eligible Receivables are in part based upon
the business operations of the Borrowers existing on or about the Closing
Date and upon information and records furnished to the Agent by the
Borrowers.  If at any time or from time to time hereafter, the business
operations of the Borrowers change or such information and records furnished
to the Agent is incorrect or misleading, the Agent in its discretion, may at
any time and from time to time during the duration of this Agreement change
such criteria or add new criteria.  The Agent may communicate such changed or
additional criteria to the Borrowers from time to time either orally or in
writing.

                      2.1.4	Borrowing Base Report.
				----------------------
                      The Borrowers will furnish to the Agent no less frequently
than monthly before the 30th day of each month and at such other times as may
be requested by the Agent or any of the Lenders a report of the Borrowing
Base (each a "Borrowing Base Report"; collectively, the "Borrowing Base
Reports") in the form required from time to time by the Agent, appropriately
completed and duly signed.  The Borrowing Base Report shall contain the net
amount due on the Receivables, and the calculations of the Borrowing Base,
all in such detail, and accompanied by such supporting and other information,
as the Agent may from time to time request.  Upon the Agent's request and
upon the creation of any Receivables, or at such intervals as the Agent may
require, the Borrowers will provide the Agent with (a) confirmatory
assignment schedules; (b) copies of Account Debtor invoices; (c) evidence of
shipment or delivery; and (d) such further schedules, documents and/or
information regarding the Receivables as the Agent may reasonably require.
The items to be provided under this subsection shall be in form satisfactory
to the Agent, and certified as true and correct by a Responsible Officer, and
delivered to the Agent from time to time solely for the Agent's convenience
in maintaining records of the Collateral.  Any Borrower's failure to deliver
any of such items to the Agent shall not affect, terminate, modify, or
otherwise limit the Liens of the Agent and the Lenders in the Collateral.

                      2.1.5	Revolving Credit Notes.
				-----------------------
                      The obligation of the Borrowers to pay each Lender's Pro
Rata Share of the Revolving Loan, with interest, shall be evidenced by a
series of promissory notes (as from time to time extended, amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively the "Revolving Credit Notes"
and individually a "Revolving Credit Note") substantially in the form of
Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, with appropriate
insertions. One or more of the Revolving Credit Notes may, pursuant to
Section 2.1.6 of this Agreement, be increased and replaced in their entirety
with one or more promissory notes (as from time to time extended, amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, collectively, the "Replacement
Revolving Credit Notes" and individually a "Replacement Revolving Credit
Note") substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 attached hereto and made a
part hereof.  Each Lender's Revolving Credit Note shall be dated as of the
Closing Date, shall be payable to the order of such Lender at the times
provided in the Revolving Credit Note, and shall be in the principal amount
of such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share.

                      Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that, if the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan outstanding from time to
time exceeds the aggregate face amount of the Revolving Credit Notes, the
excess shall bear interest at the rates provided from time to time for
advances under the Revolving Loan evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes and
shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND.

                      2.1.6	Increase to Revolving Credit Facility.
				--------------------------------------
                      Lenders may, in their sole discretion, agree to increase
the amount of each Lender's Revolving Credit Committed Amount (the
"Incremental Revolving Commitment") to make incremental revolving credit
loans available to Borrowers (the "Incremental Revolving Loans") by executing
and delivering to Agent a duly executed Increased Revolving Facility
Activation Notice specifying the (i) amount of such increase and (ii) the
Increased Revolving Facility Closing Date, provided, however, at the time of
said election, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
An Increased Revolving Facility Activation Notice that has been executed and
delivered to Agent may not be rescinded without the consent of the Requisite
Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Requisite
Lenders, (i) each request for Incremental Revolving Loans shall be in
increments of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitment shall not exceed
Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and (iii) the aggregate amount of
the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount, as may be increased by the
amount, if any, of each Lender's Incremental Revolving Commitment pursuant to
this Section 2.1.6 shall not exceed Seventy-Five Million Dollars
($75,000,000) at any time.  Not later than the Increased Revolving Facility
Closing Date, Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent one or more duly
executed and completed Replacement Revolving Credit Notes which reflects the
amount of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount after giving effect to such
increase.

                      2.1.7	Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loan.
				----------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers shall make the mandatory prepayments (each a
"Revolving Loan Mandatory Prepayment" and collectively, the "Revolving Loan
Mandatory Prepayments") of the Revolving Loan at any time and from time to
time in such amounts requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.3
(Borrowing Base) in order to cover any Borrowing Base Deficiency.

                      2.1.8	Optional Prepayments of Revolving Loan.
                                ---------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers shall have the option at any time and from
time to time to prepay (each a "Revolving Loan Optional Prepayment" and
collectively the "Revolving Loan Optional Prepayments") the Revolving Loan,
in whole or in part without premium or penalty, other than with respect to
any indemnification and reimbursement obligations pursuant to Section 2.4.5.

                      2.1.9	The Collateral Account.
				-----------------------
                      Upon request of the Agent after the occurrence of a
Default, the Borrowers will deposit, or cause to be deposited, all Items of
Payment to a bank account designated by the Agent and from which the Agent
alone has power of access and withdrawal (the "Collateral Account").  Each
deposit shall be made not later than the next Business Day after the date of
receipt of the Items of Payment.  The Items of Payment shall be deposited in
precisely the form received, except for the endorsements of the Borrowers
where necessary to permit the collection of any such Items of Payment, which
endorsement the Borrowers hereby agree to make.  In the event the Borrowers
fail to do so, the Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent to make the
endorsement in the name of any or all of the Borrowers.  Prior to such a
deposit, the Borrowers will not commingle any Items of Payment with any of
the Borrowers' other funds or property, but will hold them separate and apart
in trust and for the account of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
ratably and the Agent.

                      In addition, if so directed by the Agent, the Borrowers
shall direct the mailing of all Items of Payment from their Account Debtors
to one or more post-office boxes designated by the Agent, or to such other
additional or replacement post-office boxes pursuant to the request of the
Agent from time to time (collectively, the "Lockbox").  The Agent shall have
unrestricted and exclusive access to the Lockbox.

                      The Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent after the
occurrence of a Default to inspect all Items of Payment, endorse all Items of
Payment in the name of any or all of the Borrowers, and deposit such Items of
Payment in the Collateral Account.  The Agent reserves the right, exercised
in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time, to provide to the
Collateral Account credit prior to final collection of an Item of Payment and
to disallow credit for any Item of Payment which is unsatisfactory to the
Agent.  In the event Items of Payment are returned to the Agent for any
reason whatsoever, the Agent may, in the exercise of its discretion from time
to time, forward such Items of Payment a second time.  Any returned Items of
Payment shall be charged back to the Collateral Account, the Revolving Loan
Account, or other account, as appropriate.

                      The Agent will after the occurrence of a Default apply the
whole or any part of the collected funds credited to the Collateral Account
against the Revolving Loan (or with respect to Items of Payment which are not
proceeds of Accounts or Inventory or after an Event of Default, against any
of the Obligations) or credit such collected funds to a depository account of
any or all of the Borrowers with the Agent, the order and method of such
application to be in the sole discretion of the Agent.

                      2.1.10	Revolving Loan Account.
				-----------------------
                      The Agent will establish and maintain a loan account on
its books (the "Revolving Loan Account") to which the Agent will (a) debit (i)
the principal amount of each advance under the Revolving Loan made by the
Lenders hereunder as of the date made, (ii) the amount of any interest
accrued on the Revolving Loan as and when due, and (iii) any other amounts
due and payable by the Borrowers to the Agent and/or the Lenders from time to
time under the provisions of this Agreement in connection with the Revolving
Loan, including, without limitation, Enforcement Costs, Fees, late charges,
and service, collection and audit fees, as and when due and payable, and (b)
credit all payments made by the Borrowers to the Agent on account of the
Revolving Loan as of the date made.  The Agent may debit the Revolving Loan
Account for the amount of any Item of Payment that is returned to the Agent
unpaid.  All credit entries to the Revolving Loan Account are conditional and
shall be readjusted as of the date made if final and indefeasible payment is
not received by the Agent in cash or solvent credits.  The Borrowers hereby
promise to pay to the order of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Lenders, ON DEMAND, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of all debit
entries over all credit entries recorded in the Revolving Loan Account under
the provisions of this Agreement.  Any and all periodic or other statements
or reconciliations, and the information contained in those statements or
reconciliations, of the Revolving Loan Account shall be presumed conclusively
to be correct, and shall constitute an account stated between the Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrowers unless the Agent receives specific written
objection thereto from any Borrower and/or any Lender within thirty (30)
Business Days after such statement or reconciliation shall have been sent by
the Agent.  Any and all periodic or other statements or reconciliations, and
the information contained in those statements or reconciliations, of the
Revolving Loan Account shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
Borrowers in all respects, absent manifest error, unless the Agent receives
specific written objection thereto from the Borrowers within thirty (30)
Business Days after such statement or reconciliation shall have been sent by
the Agent.

                      2.1.11	Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee.
				---------------------------------
                      Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of
Lenders a revolving credit facility fee (collectively, the "Revolving Credit
Unused Line Fees" and individually, a "Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee") in
an amount equal to the Unused Fee Margin multiplied by the average daily
unused and undisbursed portion of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount in
effect from time to time accruing during each calendar quarter.  For purposes
of clarification, the outstanding amount of any Swing Line Loan shall not be
considered usage of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount, while the face
amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall be considered usage of the
Revolving Credit Committed Amount.  The accrued and unpaid portion of the
Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee shall be paid quarterly in arrears by
Borrowers to Agent on the last day of each quarter, commencing on the first
such date following the date hereof, and on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date.

                      2.1.12	Required Availability under the Revolving Credit
				------------------------------------------------
Facility.
---------
                      On the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Revolving Loan, including any Swing Line Loans, and Outstanding
Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed an amount equal to (a) the
lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount,
minus (b) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).  Borrowers shall make a
Revolving Loan Mandatory Prepayment pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.1.7 (Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loan) to the extent necessary to
achieve compliance with this Section.

                      2.1.13	Optional Reduction of Total Revolving Credit
				--------------------------------------------
Committed Amount.
-----------------
                      The Borrowers shall have the right to reduce permanently
(each a "Revolving Credit Optional Reduction" and collectively the "Revolving
Credit Optional Reductions") the Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount in
effect from time to time in the amount of any integral multiple of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior
written notice to the Agent specifying the date and amount of such Revolving
Credit Optional Reduction; provided, that no Revolving Credit Optional
Reduction shall be permitted if, (i) after giving effect thereto and to any
Revolving Loan Optional Prepayment made on the effective date thereof, the
then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan and Outstanding
Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Committed
Amount as so reduced or (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Credit
Optional Reduction there is not at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of
availability under the Revolving Loan.  Such notice shall be irrevocable as
to the amount and date of such Revolving Credit Optional Reduction.

       Section 2.2	The Letter of Credit Sub-Facility.
			----------------------------------
                      2.2.1	Letters of Credit.
				------------------
                      Subject to and upon the provisions of this Agreement, and
as a part of the Revolving Credit Commitments, each of the Borrowers, upon
the prior approval of the Agent, may obtain standby letters of credit (as the
same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified,
each a "Letter of Credit" and collectively the "Letters of Credit") from the
Agent from time to time from the Closing Date until the Business Day
preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  The Borrowers will not be
entitled to obtain a Letter of Credit unless (a) the Borrowers are then able
to obtain a Revolving Loan from the Lenders in an amount not less than the
proposed face amount of the Letter of Credit requested by the Borrowers, and
(b) the sum of the then Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations (including
the amount of the requested Letter of Credit), unless otherwise agreed to by
the Lenders, does not exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000).

                      2.2.2	Letter of Credit Fees.
				----------------------
                      With respect to each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall
pay to the Agent, for its own account, an amount equal to the Letter of
Credit Issuance Fee multiplied by the face amount of each Letter of Credit
all without regard for provisions contained in the Letters of Credit which
may give rise to a reduction in the stated amount thereof unless such
reduction has actually occurred (collectively, the "Letter of Credit Fees").
The Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid upon the opening of each Letter of
Credit and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, if any, at the
per annum rate.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent all other
reasonable and customary amendment, negotiation, processing, transfer or
other fees to the extent and as and when required by the provisions of any
Letter of Credit Agreement.  All Letter of Credit Fees and all such other
additional fees are included in and are a part of the "Fees" payable by the
Borrowers under the provisions of this Agreement and are for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Agent and are a part of the Agent's Obligations.

                      2.2.3	Terms of Letters of Credit; Post-Expiration Date
				-----------------------------------------------
				Letters of Credit.
				------------------
                      Each Letter of Credit shall (a) be opened pursuant to a
Letter of Credit Agreement and (b) expire on a date not later than the
Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, if any Letter of Credit does have an expiration date later than the
Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date (each a "Post-
Expiration Date Letter of Credit" and collectively, the "Post-Expiration Date
Letters of Credit"), effective as of the Business Day preceding the Revolving
Credit Termination Date and without prior notice to or the consent of the
Borrowers, the Lenders shall make advances under the Revolving Loan for the
account of the Borrowers in the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of
Credit.  The Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion issue or refuse to
issue any Letter of Credit which is automatically renewable or "evergreen".
The amount of each Lender's advance shall be equal to its Revolving Credit
Pro Rata Share of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit.
The Agent shall deposit the proceeds of such advances into one or more non-
interest bearing accounts with and in the name of the Agent and over which
the Agent alone shall have exclusive power of access and withdrawal
(collectively, the "Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account").  The Letter
of Credit Cash Collateral Account is to be held by the Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders, as additional collateral and security for any Letter
of Credit Obligations relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit.
The Borrowers hereby assign, pledge, grant and set over to the Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, a first priority security interest in, and
Lien on, all of the funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral
Account, together with any and all Proceeds and products thereof as
additional collateral and security for the Letter of Credit Obligations
relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit.  The Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that the Agent shall be entitled to fund any draw or
draft on any Post-Expiration Date Letter of Credit from the monies on deposit
in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account without notice to or consent
of the Borrowers or any of the Lenders.  The Borrowers further acknowledge
and agree that the Agent's election to fund any draw or draft on any Post-
Expiration Date Letter of Credit from the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral
shall in no way limit, impair, lessen, reduce, release or otherwise adversely
affect the Borrowers' obligation to pay any Letter of Credit Obligations
under or relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit.  At such
time as all Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit have expired and all
Letter of Credit Obligations relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of
Credit have been paid in full, the Agent agrees to apply the amount of any
remaining funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account to
the then unpaid balance of the Obligations under the Revolving Credit
Facility in such order and manner as the Agent shall determine in its sole
and absolute discretion in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

                      Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for purposes
acceptable to Agent.  The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit at
any one time outstanding and issued by the Agent pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all Post-Expiration
Date Letters of Credit, plus the amount of any unpaid Letter of Credit Fees
and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees accrued or scheduled to accrue thereon, and
less the aggregate amount of all drafts issued under or purporting to have
been issued under such Letters of Credit that have been paid by the Agent and
for which the Agent has been reimbursed by the Borrowers in full in
accordance with Section 2.2.5 (Payments of Letters of Credit) and the Letter
of Credit Agreements, and for which the Agent has no further obligation or
commitment to restore all or any portion of the amounts drawn and reimbursed,
is herein called the "Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations".

                      2.2.4	Procedures for Letters of Credit.
				---------------------------------
                      The Borrowers shall give the Agent written notice at least
five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Borrower desires the
Agent to issue a Letter of Credit.  Such notice shall be accompanied by a
duly executed Letter of Credit Agreement specifying, among other things:  (a)
the name and address of the intended beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, (b)
the requested face amount of the Letter of Credit, (c) whether the Letter of
Credit is to be revocable or irrevocable, (d) the Business Day on which the
Letter of Credit is to be opened and the date on which the Letter of Credit
is to expire, (e) the terms of payment of any draft or drafts which may be
drawn under the Letter of Credit, and (f) any other terms or provisions the
Borrowers desire to be contained in the Letter of Credit.  Such notice shall
also be accompanied by such other information, certificates, confirmations,
and other items as the Agent may require to assure that the Letter of Credit
is to be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and a
Letter of Credit Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of a Letter of Credit
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and control unless
otherwise expressly provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement.  Upon (x)
receipt of such notice, (y) payment of all Letter of Credit Fees and all
other Fees payable in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
and (z) receipt of a duly executed Letter of Credit Agreement, the Agent
shall process such notice and Letter of Credit Agreement in accordance with
its customary procedures and open such Letter of Credit on the Business Day
specified in such notice.  The Agent shall not be obligated to issue any
Letter of Credit where the expiration date automatically renews or is
"evergreen".

                      2.2.5	Payments of Letters of Credit.
				------------------------------
                      The Borrowers hereby promise to pay to the Agent, ON
DEMAND and in United States Dollars, the following which are herein collectively
referred to as the "Current Letter of Credit Obligations":

                      (a)	the amount which the Agent has paid or
will be required to pay under each draft or draw on a Letter of
Credit, whether such demand be in advance of the Agent's payment
or for reimbursement for such payment;

                      (b)	any and all reasonable charges and
expenses which the Agent may pay or incur relative to the Letter
of Credit and/or such draws or drafts; and

                      (c)	interest on the amounts described in (a)
and (b) not paid by the Borrowers as and when due and payable
under the provisions of (a) and (b) above from the day the same
are due and payable until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate.

                      In addition, the Borrowers hereby promise to pay any and
all other Letter of Credit Obligations as and when due and payable in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit
Agreements.  The obligation of the Borrowers to pay Current Letter of Credit
Obligations and all other Letter of Credit Obligations shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrowers or any other account
party may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit,
the Agent, any of the Lenders, or any other Person, including, without
limitation, any defense based on the failure of any draft or draw to conform
to the terms of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other document proving to
be forged, fraudulent or invalid, or the legality, validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other documents
presented with any draft, any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement, or
any of the other Financing Documents, all whether or not the Agent or any of
the Lenders had actual or constructive knowledge of the same, and
irrespective of any Collateral, security or guarantee therefor or right of
offset with respect thereto and irrespective of any other circumstances
whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an
equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers for any Letter of Credit
Obligations, in bankruptcy or otherwise; provided, however, that the
Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse the Agent for any wrongful
payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Agent's willful
misconduct.  The obligation of the Borrowers to pay the Letter of Credit
Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the
Agent or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any
Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of such
obligation or against any Collateral, security or guarantee therefor or right
of offset with respect thereto.

                      The Letter of Credit Obligations shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of
all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any of the Lenders upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor,
or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Person, or any
substantial part of such Person's property, all as though such payments had
not been made.

                      2.2.6	Change in Law; Increased Cost.
				------------------------------
                      If any change in any law or regulation or in the
interpretation thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged
with the administration thereof shall either (a) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against
Letters of Credit issued by the Agent, or (b) impose on the Agent or any of
the Lenders any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of
Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (a) or (b) above
shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing, maintaining or
extending the Letter of Credit or the cost to any of the Lenders of funding
any obligation under or in connection with the Letter of Credit (which
increase in cost shall be the result of the Agent's reasonable allocation of
the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon
demand by the Agent, the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent from
time to time as specified by the Agent, additional amounts which shall be
sufficient to compensate the Agent and the Lenders for such increased cost,
together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until
payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the then highest current
rate of interest on the Revolving Loan.  A certificate as to such increased
cost incurred by the Agent and/or any of the Lenders, submitted by the Agent
to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

                      2.2.7	General Letter of Credit Provisions.
				------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers hereby instruct the Agent to pay any draft
complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit irrespective of any
instructions of the Borrowers to the contrary.  The Borrowers assume all
risks of the acts and omissions of the beneficiary and other users of any
Letter of Credit.  The Agent, the Lenders and their respective branches,
Affiliates and/or correspondents shall not be responsible for and the
Borrowers hereby indemnify and hold the Agent, the Lenders and their
respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents harmless from and
against all liability, loss and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees
and costs) incurred by the Agent, the Lenders and/or their respective
branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents relative to and/or as a
consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrowers to perform the agreements
hereunder and under any Letter of Credit Agreement, (b) any Letter of Credit
Agreement, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit and any draft, draw and/or
acceptance under or purported to be under any Letter of Credit, (c) any
action taken or omitted by the Agent, any of the Lenders and/or any of their
respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents at the request of the
Borrowers, (d) any failure or inability to perform in accordance with the
terms of any Letter of Credit by reason of any control or restriction
rightfully or wrongfully exercised by any de facto or de jure Governmental
Authority, group or individual asserting or exercising governmental or
paramount powers, and/or (e) any consequences arising from causes beyond the
control of the Agent, any of the Lenders and/or any of their respective
branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents.

                      Except for willful misconduct, the Agent, the Lenders and
their respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents, shall not be
liable or responsible in any respect for any (a) error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any one or
more messages or advices in connection with any Letter of Credit, whether
transmitted by cable, telegraph, mail or otherwise and despite any cipher or
code which may be employed, and/or (b) action, inaction or omission which may
be taken or suffered by it or them in good faith or through inadvertence in
identifying or failing to identify any beneficiary or otherwise in connection
with any Letter of Credit.

                      Any Letter of Credit may be amended, modified or revoked
only upon the receipt by the Agent from the Borrowers and the beneficiary
(including any transferee and/or assignee of the original beneficiary), of a
written consent and request therefor.

                      If any Laws, order of court and/or ruling or regulation of
any Governmental Authority of the United States (or any state thereof) and/or
any country other than the United States permits a beneficiary under a Letter
of Credit to require the Agent, the Lenders and/or any of their respective
branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents to pay drafts under or purporting
to be under a Letter of Credit after the expiration date of the Letter of
Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent and the Lenders, as
appropriate, for any such payment pursuant to provisions of Section 2.2.6
(Change in Law; Increased Cost).

                      Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in a
Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreement, the laws of the State and the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 1993 Revision,
International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 shall govern the
Letters of Credit.  The Laws, rules, provisions and regulations of the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits are hereby incorporated
by reference.  In the event of a conflict between the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits and the laws of the State, the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits shall prevail.

                      2.2.8	Participations in the Letters of Credit.
				----------------------------------------
                      Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to
issue Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
As of the date each Letter of Credit is opened or issued by the Agent
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, each Lender shall have an
undivided participating interest in (a) the rights and obligations of the
Agent under such Letter of Credit, and (b) the Outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations of the Borrowers with respect to such Letter of Credit, in an
amount equal to each Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of such
Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.

                      2.2.9	Payments by the Lenders to the Agent.
				-------------------------------------
                      If the Borrowers fail to pay to the Agent any Current
Letter of Credit Obligations as and when due and payable, the Agent shall
promptly notify each of the Lenders and shall demand payment from each of the
Lenders such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of such unpaid Current
Letter of Credit Obligations.  In addition, if any amount paid to the Agent
on account of Current Letter of Credit Obligations is rescinded or required
to be restored or turned over by the Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrowers or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, trustee, conservator or
similar officer for the Borrowers, or is otherwise not indefeasibly covered
by an advance under the Revolving Loan, the Agent shall promptly notify each
of the Lenders and shall demand payment from each of the Lenders of its
Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of its portion of the Current Letter of
Credit Obligations to be remitted to the Borrowers.

                      Each of the Lenders irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to honor any such demands for payment under this Section and promises to pay
to the Agent's account on the same Business Day as demanded the amount of its
Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of the Current Letter of Credit Obligations
in immediately available funds, without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction
of any kind.  Any payment by a Lender hereunder shall in no way release,
discharge or lessen the obligation of the Borrowers to pay Current Letter of
Credit Obligations to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.

                      The obligation of each of the Lenders to remit the amounts
of its Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of Current Letter of Credit
Obligations for the account of the Agent pursuant to this Section shall be
unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and may not be
terminated, suspended or delayed for any reason whatsoever, provided that all
payments of such amounts by each of the Lenders shall be without prejudice to
the rights of each of the Lenders with respect to the Agent's alleged willful
misconduct.  Any claim any Lender may have against the Agent as a result of
the Agent's alleged willful misconduct may be brought by such Lender in a
separate action against the Agent but may not be used as a defense to payment
under the provisions of this Section.

                      No failure of any Lender to remit the amount of its
Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of Current Letter of Credit Obligations to
the Agent pursuant to this Section shall affect the obligations of the Agent
under any Letter of Credit, and if any Lender does not remit to the Agent the
amount of its Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of Current Letter of Credit
Obligations on the same day as demanded, then without limiting such Lender's
obligation to transmit funds on the same Business Day as demanded, such
Lender shall be obligated to pay, on demand of the Agent and without setoff,
counterclaim or deduction of any kind whatsoever interest on the unpaid
amount at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount shall
be due and payable to the Agent until the date such amount shall have been
paid in full to the Agent by such Lender.

       Section 2.3    Swing Line Sub-Facility.
			------------------------
                      2.3.1	Swing Line Loans.
				-----------------
                      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Citizens
agrees to make swing line loans (individually, a "Swing Line Loan" and
collectively, the "Swing Line Loans") to the Borrowers, jointly and severally,
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding Ten
Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Swing Line Committed Amount"); provided,
however, Borrowers shall not request, and Citizens shall not make, a Swing
Line Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swing Line Loan, the
aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan, the Swing Line
Loans and all Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the lesser of the (a)
Total Revolving Credit Committed Amount or (b) Borrowing Base.  During the
Revolving Credit Commitment Period, each Borrower may use the Swing Line
Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof.

                      2.3.2	Refunding Swing Line Loans.
				---------------------------
                      Citizens may from time to time at its discretion, on
behalf of the Borrowers, issue a notice stating the current balance outstanding
under the Swing Line Commitment.  Each Lender shall make advances under the
Revolving Loan available to the Agent in immediately available funds, not
later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), one (1) Business Day after the date of
any notice from Citizens that a Revolving Loan is requested on behalf of the
Borrowers (the "Refunding Date").  At any time there are amounts outstanding
under the Swing Line Loan, Citizens will make such refunding requests to each
Lender no less frequent than two (2) times per week.  The proceeds of such
Revolving Loan shall be immediately applied by Citizens to reduce the
outstanding principal balance to an amount not to exceed One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) under the Swing Line Commitment (the "Refunded Swing Line
Loans").  Effective on the Business Day such advances under the Revolving
Loan are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be
outstanding as Swing Line Loans, shall no longer be due under the Swing Line
Note and shall be due under the respective Revolving Credit Notes issued to
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the
Revolving Credit Committed Amount.  Each Borrower authorizes Citizens to
charge such Borrower's accounts with the Agent (up to the amount available in
each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded
Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not
sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans.

                      2.3.3	No Swing Line Loans if Default.
				-------------------------------
                      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Citizens
shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans if a Default or an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                      2.3.4	Participations in Swing Line Loans.
				-----------------------------------
                      If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise
been made, a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, each Lender
shall immediately purchase an undivided participating interest in an amount
equal to (a) its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount as
set forth in Section 2.1.1 (Revolving Credit Facility) times (b) the
aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to
have been repaid with such Refunded Swing Line Loans (the "Swing Line
Participation Amount").  On the Refunding Date, each Lender shall transfer to
Citizens, in immediately available funds, such Lender's Swing Line
Participation Amount and upon receipt thereof Citizens shall deliver to each
Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of
Citizens' receipt of such funds and in the Swing Line Participation Amount.

                      2.3.5	Adjustments to Swing Line Participation Amounts.
				------------------------------------------------
                      Whenever, at any time after Citizens has received from any
Lender such Lender's Swing Line Participation Amount, Citizens receives any
payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, Citizens will distribute to such
Lender its pro rata share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the
case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by Citizens is required
to be returned, such Lender will return to Citizens any portion thereof
previously distributed to it by Citizens.

                      2.3.6	Lenders' Obligations Unconditional.
				-----------------------------------
                      Each Lender's obligation to make the Refunded Swing Line
Loans referred to in this Section 2.3 (Swing Line Sub-Facility) and to
purchase participating interests in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which any Lender or either Borrower may
have against Citizens, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of
either Borrower; (d) any breach of this Agreement or any other Financing
Document by the Borrowers, the Agent or any of the Lenders, or (e) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing.

                      2.3.7	Swing Line Note.
				----------------
                      Advances made by Citizens under the Swing Line Commitment
shall be evidenced by a separate Swing Line Note payable to the order of
Citizens in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment substantially
in the form of Exhibit B-3 attached hereto and made a part hereof, with the
blanks therein appropriately completed, dated as of the date of the initial
advance under this Agreement and payable on the Revolving Credit Expiration
Date (the "Swing Line Note").  The Borrowers' joint and several obligations
under the Swing Line Note and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities
with respect to the Swing Line Loan are part of the Obligations and are
secured by the Obligations.

                      2.3.8	Interest on Swing Line Loans.
				-----------------------------
                             (a)	Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest
until the Revolving Credit Expiration Date at the Base Rate.  Interest on each
Swing Line Loan shall be payable in consecutive monthly payments commencing
on the last Business Day of the first calendar month following an advance
under the Swing Line Sub-Facility and continuing on the last Business Day of
each month thereafter through and including Revolving Credit Termination
Date.

                             (b)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, following
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default,
at the option of the Agent, all Swing Line Loans and all other Obligations shall
bear interest at the Post-Default Rate.

                      2.3.9	Mandatory Prepayments of Swing Line Loan.
				-----------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers shall make the mandatory prepayments (each a
"Swing Line Loan Mandatory Prepayment" and collectively, the "Swing Line Loan
Mandatory Prepayments") of the Swing Line Loan at any time and from time to
time in such amounts requested by Citizens or the Agent pursuant to Section
2.1.3 (Borrowing Base) of this Agreement in order to cover any Borrowing Base
Deficiency.

                      2.3.10	Optional Prepayments of Swing Line Loan.
                                ----------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers may, at their option, at any time and from
time to time, prepay (each a "Swing Line Loan Optional Prepayment" and
collectively the "Swing Line Loan Optional Prepayments") the Swing Line Loan
without premium or penalty.

America, in immediately available funds without set-off, deduction or
counterclaim of any kind, to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders,
at its office at 8521 Leesburg Pike, Suite 405, Vienna Virginia  22182, or at

                      2.4.3	Selection of Interest Rates on the Revolving
				--------------------------------------------
				Loan.
				-----
                             (a)	The Borrowers may select the initial
Applicable Interest Rate or Applicable Interest Rates to be charged on advances
under the Revolving Loan.

                             (b)	From time to time after the date of this
Agreement as provided in this Section, by a proper and timely Rate Request
Notice furnished to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.4.3(e), the Borrowers may select an initial Applicable Interest Rate for
any advance under the Revolving Loan or may convert the Applicable Interest
Rate for any existing advance under the Revolving Loan to any other
Applicable Interest Rate.

                             (c)	The Borrowers' selection of an
Applicable Interest Rate, the Borrowers' election to convert an Applicable
Interest Rate to another Applicable Interest Rate, and any other adjustments in
an interest rate are subject to the following limitations:

		                      (i)	no change from the LIBOR Rate to
		the Base Rate shall become effective on a day other than a
		Business Day and no change from the Base Rate to the LIBOR
		Rate shall become effective on a day other than a day which
		is a Eurodollar Business Day;

        		              (ii)	any Applicable Interest Rate
		change 	for any advance under the Revolving Loan to be effective
		on a date on which any principal payment on account of such

		payment shall have been made; and

		                      (iii)	as of the effective date of a
		selection, there shall not exist an Event of Default.

                             (d)	If a request for an advance under the
Revolving Loan is not accompanied by a Rate Request Notice or does not otherwise
include a selection of an Applicable Interest Rate, or if, after having made
a selection of an Applicable Interest Rate, the Borrowers fail or are not
otherwise entitled under the provisions of this Agreement to continue such
Applicable Interest Rate, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected the
Base Rate as the Applicable Interest Rate until such time as the Borrowers
have selected a different Applicable Interest Rate in accordance with, and
subject to, the provisions of this Section.

                             (e)	The Lenders will not be obligated to
make advances under the Revolving Loan or the Swing Line Loan or to convert the
Applicable Interest Rate on advances under the Revolving Loan to another
Applicable Interest Rate, unless the Agent shall have received an irrevocable
written or telephonic notice (a "Rate Request Notice") from the Borrowers
specifying the following information:

		                      (i)	the amount to be borrowed or
		converted;

        		              (ii)	a selection of the Applicable
		Interest Rate; and

		                      (iii)	the requested date on which such

requested borrowing or conversion in the case of a selection of the Base Rate
and not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business

of any requested borrowing or conversion in the case of a selection of the
LIBOR-based Rate.

                      2.4.4	Inability to Determine Rate.
				----------------------------
                      In the event that the Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that by
reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any
given Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice (which may be
telephonic and promptly confirmed in writing or by facsimile transmission) of
such determination to each Lender and to the Borrowers at least two Euro-
dollar Business Days prior to, as the case may be, the conversion date of any
portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at the Base Rate to a LIBOR-
based Rate.  If such notice is given: (a) any portion of the Principal Amount
bearing interest at the Base Rate that was to have been converted to a LIBOR-
based Rate, subject to the provisions hereof, shall be continued at the Base
Rate and (b) any portion of the Principal Amount bearing interest at a LIBOR-
based Rate shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto, to the Base Rate.  Until such notice has been
withdrawn by the Agent, the Borrowers shall not have the right to have a
LIBOR-based Rate apply to any portion of the Principal Amount.

                      2.4.5	Indemnity.
				----------
                      The Borrowers agree to indemnify and reimburse the Agent
and the Lenders and to hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from any loss,
cost (including administrative costs) or expense which any one or more of the
Agent or the Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default
by the Borrowers in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest
on any LIBOR Amount, (b) the failure of the Borrowers to make, or convert the
Applicable Interest Rate of, a Loan after the Borrowers have given a Rate
Request Notice, (c) the failure of the Borrowers to make any prepayment of a
Loan after the Borrowers have given notice of such intention to make such a
prepayment, and/or (d) the making by the Borrowers of a prepayment of a Loan
on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR
Amount, calculated as provided in the following paragraph.  This agreement
and covenant of the Borrowers shall survive termination or expiration of this
Agreement and payment of the other Obligations.

                      Contemporaneously with any prepayment of principal of a
LIBOR Amount, a prepayment fee shall be due and payable to the Lenders in an
amount equal to the product of

	(A) the amount so prepaid

	multiplied by
        -------------

	(B) the difference (but not less than zero) of
	    --------------

		(i) the constant maturity 360-day interest yield (as of the
		first day of the then effective Interest Period and
		expressed as a decimal) for a United States Treasury bill,
		note, or bond (a "Treasury obligation") selected by the
		Agent, in an aggregate amount comparable to the amount
		prepaid, and having, as of the first day of the then
		effective Interest Period, a remaining term approximately
		equal to the original Interest Period,

	minus
        -----

		(ii) the 360-day interest yield (as of the Business Day
		immediately preceding the prepayment date and expressed as
		a decimal) on such Treasury obligation and having, as of
		the Business Day immediately preceding the prepayment date,
		a remaining term until maturity approximately equal to the
		unexpired portion of the Interest Period,

	multiplied by
	-------------

	(C) the quotient of
	    ------------

		(y) the number of calendar days in the unexpired portion of
		the Interest Period,

	divided by
	----------

(x) 360.

                      The applicable yields on the Treasury obligations
described above shall be determined based upon the Federal Reserve statistical
release H.15 published for the applicable determination dates set forth above.
Any Treasury obligation selected when the related Interest Period is one year or
less shall be United States Treasury Bills.  The Agent and the Lenders shall
not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid amount
of the LIBOR Amount in any such Treasury obligation as a condition precedent
to the Borrowers' being obligated to pay a prepayment fee as outlined above.
The Agent and the Lenders shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of
principal unless it is accompanied by the prepayment fee, if any, due in
connection therewith as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph.  No prepayment fee payable in connection herewith shall in any
event or under any circumstances be deemed or construed as a penalty.

                      2.4.6   Payment of Interest.
				--------------------
                             (a)	Unpaid and accrued interest on any
portion of a LIBOR Loan shall be paid (a) on the last Business Day of each
Interest Period for such LIBOR-based Rate and (b) at the Revolving Credit
Termination Date; provided, however, that any and all unpaid and accrued
interest on any LIBOR Amount prepaid prior to expiration of the then current
Interest Period for such LIBOR Amount shall be paid immediately upon prepayment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all unpaid and accrued interest on any
LIBOR Loan converted to a Base Rate shall be paid immediately upon such
conversion.

                             (b)	Unpaid and accrued interest on any
portion of a Base Rate Loan shall be paid (a) on the Interest Payment Date and
(b) at the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any and all unpaid and accrued interest on any Base Rate Loan converted to a
LIBOR Loan shall be paid immediately upon such conversion.

       Section 2.5    General Financing Provisions.
		      -----------------------------
                      2.5.1	Borrowers' Representatives.
				---------------------------
                      The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to the Agent
and the Lenders that each of them will derive benefits, directly and indirectly,
from each Letter of Credit and from each Loan, both in their separate
capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which each of the
Borrowers belong and because the successful operation of the integrated group
is dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of
the integrated group as a whole, because (a) this financing is enabling any
Permitted Acquisition, (b) the terms of the consolidated financing provided
under this Agreement are more favorable than would otherwise would be
obtainable by the Borrowers individually, and (c) the Borrowers' additional
administrative and other costs and reduced flexibility associated with
individual financing arrangements which would otherwise be required if
obtainable would substantially reduce the value to the Borrowers of the
financing.  The Borrowers in the discretion of their respective managements
are to agree among themselves as to the allocation of the benefits of Letters
of Credit and the proceeds of Loans; provided, however, that the Borrowers
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Agent and the
Lenders at the time of allocation that each benefit and use of proceeds is a
Permitted Use.

                      For administrative convenience, each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints VSE as each Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with power of
substitution (with the prior written consent of the Agent in the exercise of
its sole and absolute discretion), in the name of VSE or in the name of the
Borrower or otherwise to take any and all actions with respect to the this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Obligations and/or the
Collateral (including, without limitation, the Proceeds thereof) as VSE may
so elect from time to time, including, without limitation, actions to (i)
request advances under the Loans, apply for and direct the benefits of
Letters of Credits, and direct the Agent to disburse or credit the proceeds
of any Loan directly to an account of VSE, any one or more of the Borrowers
or otherwise, which direction shall evidence the making of such Loan and
shall constitute the acknowledgment by each of the Borrowers of the receipt
of the proceeds of such Loan or the benefit of such Letter of Credit, (ii)
enter into, execute, deliver, amend, modify, restate, substitute, extend
and/or renew this Agreement, any Additional Borrower Joinder Supplement, any
other Financing Documents, security agreements, mortgages, deposit account
agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers, letter of credit
applications, releases, documents and agreements from time to time, and (iii)
endorse any check or other item of payment in the name of the Borrower or in
the name of VSE.  The foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest,
cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of the Agent, and may be
exercised from time to time through VSE's duly authorized officer, officers
or other Person or Persons designated by VSE to act from time to time on
behalf of VSE.

                      Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes each
of the Lenders to make Loans to any one or more of the Borrowers, and hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Agent to issue or cause to be issued Letters of
Credit for the account of any or all of the Borrowers, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephone request of
any one or more of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer
of a Borrower under the provisions of the most recent certificate of
corporate resolutions and/or incumbency of the Borrowers on file with the
Agent and also upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the
Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of VSE under the
provisions of the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions and/or
incumbency for VSE on file with the Agent.

                      Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders assumes any
responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in
the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions,
orders, requests and confirmations between the Agent and the Borrowers or the
Agent and any of the Lenders in connection with the Credit Facilities, any
Loan, any Letter of Credit or any other transaction in connection with the
provisions of this Agreement. Without implying any limitation on the joint
and several nature of the Obligations, the Lenders agree that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers may
create reasonable inter-company indebtedness between or among the Borrowers
with respect to the allocation of the benefits and proceeds of the advances
and Credit Facilities under this Agreement.  The Borrowers agree among
themselves, and the Agent and the Lenders consent to that agreement, that
each Borrower shall have rights of contribution from all of the other
Borrowers to the extent such Borrower incurs Obligations in excess of the
proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to purposes for the direct
benefit of, such Borrower.  All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and
are hereby agreed by the Borrowers to be, subordinate in priority and payment
to the indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless
the Agent agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in
whole or in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full in cash.  The Borrowers agree that all of such inter-company
indebtedness and rights of contribution are part of the Collateral and secure
the Obligations.  Each Borrower hereby waives all rights of counterclaim,
recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on account of that
indebtedness and otherwise.  Each Borrower shall not evidence the inter-
company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or other instrument,
and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of contribution with any
Lien or security.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to
the contrary, the amount covered by each Borrower under the Obligations
(including, without limitation, Section 2.5.11 (Guaranty)) shall be limited
to an aggregate amount (after giving effect to any collections from, rights
to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Borrower in respect of the Obligations) which, together with other amounts
owing by such Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders under the Obligations,
is equal to the largest amount that would not be subject to avoidance under
the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of any applicable,
comparable state or other Laws.

                      2.5.2	Use of Proceeds of the Loans.
				-----------------------------
                      The proceeds of each advance under the Loans shall be used
by the Borrowers for Permitted Uses, and for no other purposes except as may
otherwise be agreed by the Requisite Lenders in writing.

                      2.5.3	Origination Fee; Good Faith Deposit.
				------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent on or before the
Closing Date for the ratable benefit of the Lenders based on each such
Lender's Pro Rata Share an origination fee in the amount of Seventy-Five
Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (the "Origination Fee"), which Origination Fee has
been fully earned and is non-refundable, of which Borrowers have previously
paid to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a good faith deposit
in the amount of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500) (the
"Good Faith Deposit").

                      2.5.4	Agent's Fee.
				------------
                      Borrower shall pay to Agent on the Closing Date and at
each anniversary of the Closing Date the fee as described in the Commitment
Letter (the "Agent's Fee").  The Agent's Fee has been fully earned and is non-
refundable.

                      2.5.5	Field Examination Fees.
				-----------------------
                      The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a field examination
fee (collectively, the "Field Examination Fees" and individually a "Field
Examination Fee"), which Field Examination Fees shall be payable at the time
of each field examination of each Borrowers' books and records in an amount
prior to an Event of Default, not to exceed the Agent's actual costs of
obtaining such field examination.

                      2.5.6	Computation of Interest and Fees.
				---------------------------------
                      All applicable Fees and interest shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  Any
change in the interest rate on any of the Obligations resulting from a change
in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of
business on the day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate is
announced.

                      2.5.7	Maximum Interest Rate.
				----------------------
                      In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder
exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under applicable
law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the "Maximum Rate").  If,
in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded
the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum
Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less
than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum
Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the
amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been
limited by the Maximum Rate.  In the event that, upon payment in full of the
Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of
this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for
this Section, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set
forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrowers
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the
lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the
Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest
which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest
actually paid or accrued under this Agreement.  In the event that a court
determines that the Agent and the Lenders have received interest and other
charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed
received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the
Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if
there are no Obligations outstanding, the Lenders shall refund to the
Borrowers such excess.

                      2.5.8	Payments.
				---------
                      All payments of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, principal, interest, Prepayments, and Fees, shall be paid by the
Borrowers without setoff or counterclaim to the Agent (except as otherwise
provided herein) at the Agent's office specified in Section 9.1 (Notices) in
immediately available funds not later than noon (Eastern Time) on the due
date of such payment.  All payments received by the Agent after such time
shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent for purposes of computing
interest and Fees and otherwise as of the next Business Day.  Payments shall
not be considered received by the Agent until such payments are paid to the
Agent in immediately available funds.

                      2.5.9	Liens; Setoff.
				--------------
                      The Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent and to the Lenders
a continuing Lien for all of the Obligations (including, without limitation,
the Agent's Obligations) upon any and all monies, Investment Property, and
other property of the Borrowers and the Proceeds thereof, now or hereafter
held or received by or in transit to, the Agent, any of the Lenders, and/or
any Affiliate of the Agent and/or any of the Lenders, from or for the
Borrowers, and also upon any and all deposit accounts (general or special)
and credits of the Borrowers, if any, with the Agent, any of the Lenders or
any Affiliate of the Agent or any of the Lenders, at any time existing,
excluding any deposit accounts held by the Borrowers in their capacity as
trustee for Persons who are not Borrowers or Affiliates of the Borrowers.
Without implying any limitation on any other rights the Agent and/or the
Lenders may have under the Financing Documents or applicable Laws, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent and the each of the Lenders,
respectively, are hereby authorized by the Borrowers at any time and from
time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to set off, appropriate and
apply any or all items hereinabove referred to against all Obligations
(including, without limitation, the Agent's Obligations) then outstanding
(whether or not then due), all in such order and manner as shall be
determined by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

                      2.5.10	Requirements of Law.
				--------------------
                      In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good
faith that (a) the adoption of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, or (b) any
change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation or in the interpretation or
application thereof or (c) compliance by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding any capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or
Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender, as a consequence of the obligations of such Lender hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender and the corporation controlling
such Lender, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such
Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such
Lender to the Borrowers of a written request therefor and a statement of the
basis for such determination, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts in order to compensate for such reduction.

                      2.5.11	Guaranty.

                             (a)	Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably, guarantees to the Agent and the Lenders:

		                      (i)	the due and punctual payment in
			full (and not merely the collectibility) by the other
			Borrowers of the Obligations, including unpaid and
			accrued interest thereon, in each case when due and
			payable, all according to the terms of this Agreement,
			the Notes and the other Financing Documents;

		                      (ii)	the due and punctual payment in
			full (and not merely the collectibility) by the other
			Borrowers of all other sums and charges which may at any
			time be due and payable in accordance with this
			Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Financing
			Documents;

		                      (iii)	the due and punctual performance
			by the other Borrowers of all of the other terms,

		                      (iv)	all the other Obligations of the
			other Borrowers.

                             (b)	The obligations and liabilities of each
Borrower as a guarantor under this Section 2.5.11 shall be absolute and
unconditional and joint and several, irrespective of the genuineness,
validity, priority, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of
the Notes or any of the Financing Documents or any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or
guarantor.  Each Borrower in its capacity as a guarantor expressly agrees
that the Agent and the Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion,
without notice to or further assent of such Borrower and without in any way
releasing, affecting or in any way impairing the joint and several
obligations and liabilities of such Borrower as a guarantor hereunder:

		                      (i)	waive compliance with, or any
			defaults under, or grant any other indulgences under or
			with respect to any of the Financing Documents;

		                      (ii)	modify, amend, change or
			terminate any provisions of any of the Financing
			Documents;

		                      (iii)	grant extensions or renewals of
			or with respect to the Credit Facilities, the Notes or
			any of the other Financing Documents;

		                      (iv)	effect any release,
			subordination, compromise or settlement in connection
			with this Agreement, any of the Notes or any of the
			other Financing Documents;

		                      (v)	agree to the substitution,
			exchange, release or other disposition of the Collateral
			or any part thereof, or any other collateral for the
			Loan or to the subordination of any lien or security
			interest therein;

		                      (vi)	make advances for the purpose of
			performing any term, provision or covenant contained in
			this Agreement, any of the Notes or any of the other
			Financing Documents with respect to which the Borrowers
			shall then be in default;
		                      (vii)	make future advances pursuant to
			this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents;

		                      (viii)	assign, pledge, hypothecate or
			otherwise transfer the Commitments, the Obligations, the
			Notes, any of the other Financing Documents or any
			interest therein, all as and to the extent permitted by
			the provisions of this Agreement;

		                      (ix)	deal in all respects with the
			other Borrowers as if this Section 2.5.11 were not in
			effect;
		                      (x)	effect any release, compromise
			or settlement with any of the other Borrowers, whether
			in their capacity as a Borrower or as a guarantor under
			this Section 2.5.11, or any other guarantor; and

		                      (xi)	provide debtor-in-possession
			financing or allow use of cash collateral in proceedings
			under the Bankruptcy Code, it being expressly agreed by
			all Borrowers that any such financing and/or use would
			be part of the Obligations.

                             (c)	The obligations and liabilities of each
Borrower, as guarantor under this Section 2.5.11, shall be primary, direct
and immediate, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set off,
reduction or defense based upon any claim that a Borrower may have against
any one or more of the other Borrowers, the Agent, any one or more of the
Lenders and/or any other guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent
upon pursuit or enforcement by the Agent or other Lenders of any remedies it
may have against the Borrowers with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or
any of the other Financing Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof
or by operation of law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to make any demand upon any
of the Borrowers, or to sell the Collateral or otherwise pursue, enforce or
exhaust its or their remedies against the Borrowers or the Collateral either
before, concurrently with or after pursuing or enforcing its rights and
remedies hereunder.  Any one or more successive or concurrent actions or
proceedings may be brought against each Borrower under this Section 2.5.11,
either in the same action, if any, brought against any one or more of the
Borrowers or in separate actions or proceedings, as often as the Agent may
deem expedient or advisable.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is
specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any
of the liabilities or obligations of any one or more of the Borrowers, any
other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing Documents, arising
out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or
similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law initiated
by or against any one or more of the Borrowers, in their respective
capacities as borrowers and guarantors under this Section 2.5.11, or under
any of the Financing Documents shall not modify, limit, lessen, reduce,
impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of each Borrower under
this Section 2.5.11 in any manner whatsoever, and this Section 2.5.11 shall
remain and continue in full force and effect.  It is the intent and purpose
of this Section 2.5.11 that each Borrower shall and does hereby waive all
rights and benefits which might accrue to any other guarantor by reason of
any such proceeding, and the Borrowers agree that they shall be liable for
the full amount of the obligations and liabilities under this Section 2.5.11,
regardless of, and irrespective to, any modification, limitation or discharge
of the liability of any one or more of the Borrowers, any other guarantor or
any obligor under any of the Financing Documents, that may result from any
such proceedings.

                             (d)	Each Borrower, as guarantor under this
Section 2.5.11, hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, irrevocably and
expressly waives:

		                      (i)	presentment and demand for
			payment of the Obligations and protest of non-payment;

		                      (ii)	notice of acceptance of this
			Section 2.5.11 and of presentment, demand and protest
			thereof;

		                      (iii)	notice of any default hereunder
			or under the Notes or any of the other Financing
			Documents and notice of all indulgences;

		                      (iv)	notice of any increase in the
			amount of any portion of or all of the indebtedness
			guaranteed by this Section 2.5.11;

		                      (v)	demand for observance,
			performance or enforcement of any of the terms or
			provisions of this Section 2.5.11, the Notes or any of
			the other Financing Documents;

		                      (vi)	all errors and omissions in
			connection with the Lender's administration of all
			indebtedness guaranteed by this Section 2.5.11, except
			errors and omissions resulting from acts of bad faith;

		                      (vii)	any right or claim of right to
			cause a marshalling of the assets of any one or more of
			the other Borrowers;
		                      (viii)	any act or omission of the Agent
			or the Lenders which changes the scope of the risk as
			guarantor hereunder; and

		                      (ix)	all other notices and demands
			otherwise required by law which the Borrower may
			lawfully waive.

                      Within ten (10) days following any request of the Agent so
to do, each Borrower will furnish the Agent and the Lenders and such other
persons as the Agent may direct with a written certificate, duly acknowledged
stating in detail whether or not any credits, offsets or defenses exist with
respect to this Section 2.5.11.

                      2.5.12	ACH Transactions and Swap Transactions.
				---------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers may request and any Lender or its Affiliates
may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide ACH Transactions and Swap
Transactions although the Borrowers are not required to do so.  In the event
the Borrowers request any Lender or its Affiliates to procure ACH
Transactions or Swap Transactions, then the Borrowers agree to indemnify and
hold any Lender or its affiliates harmless from any and all obligations now
or hereafter owing to the or its affiliates.  The Borrowers agree to pay any
Lender or its Affiliates all amounts owing to any Lender or its Affiliates
pursuant to ACH Transactions and Swap Transactions.  In the event the
Borrowers shall not have paid to any Lender or its Affiliates such amounts,
any Lender may cover such amounts by an advance under the Revolving Loan,
which advance shall be deemed to have been requested by the Borrowers.  The
Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of ACH Transactions and
Swap Transactions from any Lender or its Affiliates (a) is in the sole and
absolute discretion of such Lender or its Affiliates and (b) is subject to
all rules and regulations of such Lender or its Affiliates.

       Section 2.6    Settlement Among Lenders.
		      -------------------------

                      2.6.1	Revolving Loan.
				---------------
                      It is agreed that each Lender's Net Outstandings are
intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender's Revolving
Credit Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Loan outstanding.  Notwithstanding such agreement, the several and
not joint obligation of each Lender to fund the Revolving Loans made in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement ratably in accordance with such
Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share and each Lender's right to receive
its ratable share of principal payments on the Revolving Loan in accordance
with its Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share, the Lenders agree that in order to
facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the Financing Documents
that settlement among them may take place on a periodic basis in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 2.6.

                      2.6.2	Settlement Procedures as to Revolving Loan.
				-------------------------------------------
                             (a)	In General.  To the extent and in the
manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.6.2, settlement among the Lenders
as to the Revolving Loan may occur periodically on Settlement Dates determined
from time to time by the Agent, which may occur before or after the
occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and
whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (Conditions to
All Extensions of Credit) have been met.  On each Settlement Date payments
shall be made by or to Citizens and the other Lenders in the manner provided
in this Section 2.6.2 in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by
the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6.2 in respect of such
Settlement Date so that as of each Settlement Date, and after giving effect
to the transactions to take place on such Settlement Date, each Lender's Net
Outstandings shall equal such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of the
Revolving Loan outstanding.

                             (b)	Selection of Settlement Dates.  If the
Agent elects, in its discretion, but subject to the consent of Citizens, to
settle accounts among the Lenders with respect to principal amounts of Revolving
Loan less frequently than each Business Day, then the Agent shall designate
periodic Settlement Dates which may occur on any Business Day after the
Closing Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall designate as a
Settlement Date any Business Day which is an Interest Payment Date; and
provided further, that a Settlement Date shall occur at least once during
each seven-day period.  The Agent shall designate a Settlement Date by
delivering to each Lender a Settlement Report not later than 12:00 noon
(Eastern Time) on the proposed Settlement Date, which Settlement Report shall
be with respect to the period beginning on the next preceding Settlement Date
and ending on such designated Settlement Date.

                             (c)	Non-Ratable Loans and Payments.  Between
Settlement Dates, the Agent shall request and Citizens may (but shall not be
obligated to) advance to the Borrowers out of Citizens own funds, the entire
principal amount of any advance under the Revolving Loan requested or deemed
requested pursuant to Section 2.1.2 (Procedure for Making Advances Under the
Revolving Loan) (any such advance under the Revolving Loan being referred to
as a "Non-Ratable Loan").  The making of each Non-Ratable Loan by Citizens
shall be deemed to be a purchase by Citizens of a 100% participation in each
other Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Non-
Ratable Loan.  All payments of principal, interest and any other amount with
respect to such Non-Ratable Loan shall be payable to and received by the
Agent for the account of Citizens.  Upon demand by Citizens, with notice to
the Agent, each other Lender shall pay to Citizens, as the repurchase of such
participation, an amount equal to 100% of such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro
Rata Share of the principal amount of such Non-Ratable Loan.  Any payments
received by the Agent between Settlement Dates which in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement are to be applied to the reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of Revolving Loan, shall be paid over to and retained by
Citizens for such application, and such payment to and retention by Citizens
shall be deemed, to the extent of each other Lender's Revolving Credit Pro
Rata Share of such payment, to be a purchase by each such other Lender of a
participation in the advance under the Revolving Loan (including the
repurchase of participations in Non-Ratable Loans) made by Citizens.  Upon
demand by another Lender, with notice thereof to the Agent, Citizens shall
pay to the Agent, for the account of such other Lender, as a repurchase of
such participation, an amount equal to such other Lender's Revolving Credit
Pro Rata Share of any such amounts (after application thereof to the
repurchase of any participations of Citizens in such other Lender's Revolving
Credit Pro Rata Share of any Non-Ratable Loans) paid only to Citizens by the
Agent.

                             (d)	Net Decrease in Outstandings.  If on any
Settlement Date the increase, if any, in the dollar amount of any Lender's
Net Outstandings which is required to comply with the first sentence of
Section 2.6.1 (Revolving Loan) is less than such Lender's Revolving Credit
Pro Rata Share of amounts received by the Agent but paid only to Citizens
since the next preceding Settlement Date, such Lender and the Agent, in their
respective records, shall apply such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share
of such amounts to the increase in such Lender's Net Outstandings, and
Citizens shall pay to the Agent, for the account of such Lender, the excess
allocable to such Lender.

                             (e)	Net Increase in Outstandings.  If on any
Settlement Date the increase, if any, in the dollar amount of any Lender's
Net Outstandings which is required to comply with the first sentence of
Section 2.6.1 (Revolving Loan) exceeds such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro
Rata Share of amounts received by the Agent but paid only to Citizens since
the next preceding Settlement Date, such Lender and the Agent, in their
respective records, shall apply such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share
of such amounts to the increase in such Lender's Net Outstandings, and such
Lender shall pay to the Agent, for the account of Citizens, any excess.

                            (f)	No Change in Outstandings.  If a Settlement
Report indicates that no advance under the Revolving Loan has been made
during the period since the next preceding Settlement Date, then such
Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of any amounts received by the
Agent but paid only to Citizens shall be paid by Citizens to the Agent, for
the account of such Lender.  If a Settlement Report indicates that the
increase in the dollar amount of a Lender's Net Outstandings which is
required to comply with the first sentence of Section 2.6.1 (Revolving Loan)
is exactly equal to such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of amounts
received by the Agent but paid only to Citizens since the next preceding
Settlement Date, such Lender and the Agent, in their respective records,
shall apply such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of such amounts to
the increase in such Lender's Net Outstandings.

                             (g)	Return of Payments.  If any amounts
received by Citizens in respect of the Obligations are later required to be
returned or repaid by Citizens to the Borrowers or any other obligor or their
respective representatives or successors in interest, whether by court order,
settlement or otherwise, in excess of Citizens' Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share
of all such amounts required to be returned by all Lenders, each other Lender
shall, upon demand by Citizens with notice to the Agent, pay to the Agent for
the account of Citizens, an amount equal to the excess of such Lender's
Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of all such amounts required to be returned by
all Lenders over the amount, if any, returned directly by such Lender.

                             (h)	Payments to Agent, Lenders.

		                      (i)	Payment by any Lender to the
			Agent shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern
			Time) on the Business Day such payment is due, provided
			that if such payment is due on demand by another Lender,
			such demand is made on the paying Lender not later than
			10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on such Business Day.  Payment
			by the Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire
			transfer to such Lender's specified account set forth on
			Exhibit C attached hereto, promptly following the
			Agent's receipt of funds for the account of such Lender
			and in the type of funds received by the Agent, provided
			that if the Agent receives such funds at or prior to
			12:00 p.m. noon (Eastern Time), the Agent shall pay such
			funds to such Lender by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such
			Business Day.  If a demand for payment is made after the
			applicable time set forth above, the payment due shall
			be made by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the first

		                      (ii)	If a Lender shall, at any time,
			fail to make any payment to the Agent required
			hereunder, the Agent may, but shall not be required to,
			retain payments that would otherwise be made to such
			Lender hereunder and apply such payments to such

			and in such order, as the Agent may elect in its sole
			discretion.

		                      (iii)	With respect to the payment of

                      2.6.3	Settlement of Other Obligations.
				--------------------------------
                      All other amounts received by the Agent on account of, or
applied by the Agent to the payment of, any Obligation owed to the Lenders
(including, without limitation, Fees payable to the Lenders and proceeds from
the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
following an Event of Default) that are received by the Agent not later than
11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on a Business Day will be paid by the Agent to each
Lender on the same Business Day, and any such amounts that are received by
the Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) will be paid by the Agent to each
Lender on the following Business Day.  Unless otherwise stated herein, the
Agent shall distribute Fees payable to the Lenders ratably to the Lenders
based on each Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share and shall distribute
proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
Collateral following an Event of Default ratably to the Lenders based on the
amount of the Obligations then owing to each Lender.

                      2.6.4	Presumption of Payment.
				-----------------------
                      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to 12:00 p.m. noon (Eastern Time) on the date of the requested date for
the making of advances under the Revolving Loan that such Lender will not
make available to the Agent, such Lender's Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of
the advances to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such amount available to the Agent on such date in accordance with
this, and the Agent, in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding
amount on behalf of such Lender.

                      If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made
available to the Agent its Revolving Credit Pro Rata Share of the advances
under the Revolving Loan made on such date, and the Agent shall have so made
available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount on behalf of such Lender,
such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Agent such corresponding amount,
together with interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from
the date such corresponding amount shall have been so available by the Agent
to the Borrowers until the date such amount shall have been repaid to the
Agent.  Such Lender shall not be entitled to payment of any interest which
accrues on the amount made available by the Agent to the Borrowers for the
account of such Lender until such time as such Lender reimburses the Agent
for such amount, together with interest thereon, as provided in this Section
2.6.4.

                      A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing to the Agent by such Lender under this Section
shall be conclusive and binding on such Lender, absent manifest error.  If
such Lender does not pay such amounts to the Agent promptly upon the Agent's
demand, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such Lender's
failure to make payment, and the Borrowers shall immediately repay such
amounts to the Agent, together with accrued interest thereon at the
applicable rate on the Revolving Loan, all without prejudice to the rights
and remedies of the Agent against any defaulting Lender.  Any and all amounts
due and payable to the Agent by the Borrowers under this Section constitute
and shall be part of the Agent's Obligations.

                      Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent that the
Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the
Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the
Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to
be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount
then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so
made such payment in full to the Agent and the Agent shall have distributed
to any Lender all or any portion of such amount, such Lender shall repay to
the Agent on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such
amount to the Agent.

                      Each Borrower has full corporate power and authority to

Agreement, and to incur and perform the Obligations whether under this
Agreement, the other Financing Documents or otherwise, all of which have been
duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action.  No consent or
approval of shareholders or any creditors of any Borrower, and no consent,
approval, filing or registration with or notice to any Governmental Authority
on the part of any Borrower, is required as a condition to the execution,
delivery, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the other

                      This Agreement and the other Financing Documents executed
and delivered by the Borrowers have been properly executed and delivered and
constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrowers and are
fully enforceable against each of the Borrowers in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors and secured parties, and general principles of equity
regardless of whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law.

                      4.1.5	No Defaults, Violations.

under any existing mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on it
or affecting its property in any respect which could be materially adverse to
the business, operations, property or financial condition of any Borrower, or
which could materially adversely affect the ability of any Borrower to

Documents, to which any Borrower is a party.

                      4.1.6	Compliance with Laws.
				---------------------
                             (a)	None of the Borrowers nor any of their
respective Subsidiaries is in violation of any applicable Laws (including,

Subsidiaries.

                             (b)	No Borrower is a Sanctioned Person or
has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or does business in or with, or
derives any of its operating income from investments in or transactions with,
Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries in violation of economic sanctions
administered by OFAC.  The proceeds from the Loan will not be used to fund
any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any
payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country; except that
proceeds from the Loan may be used to fund operations in or finance
investments or activities in a Sanctioned Country if such work is performed
under a contract with the United States government.

                      4.1.7	Investment Company Act.
				-----------------------
                      None of the Borrowers nor any of their respective

				-----------
                      Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.1.8 attached
hereto and made a part hereof, there are no proceedings, actions or
investigations pending or, so far as any Borrower knows, threatened before or
by any court, arbitrator or any Governmental Authority which, in any one case
or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the interests of any Borrower
or any Subsidiary, would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations, present or
prospective, of any Borrower.

                      4.1.9	Financial Condition.
				--------------------
                      The consolidated financial statements of the Borrowers
dated March 31, 2009, are complete and correct and fairly present the
financial position of each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries and the
results of their operations and transactions in their surplus accounts as of
the date and for the period referred to and have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the period involved.
There are no liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of any
Borrower or any Subsidiary as of the date of such financial statements that
are not reflected therein or in the notes thereto.  There has been no adverse
change in the financial condition or operations of any Borrower or any
Subsidiary since the date of such financial statements and to the Borrowers'
knowledge no such adverse change is pending or threatened.  None of the
Borrowers nor any Subsidiary has guaranteed the obligations of, or made any
investment in or advances to, any Person, except as disclosed in such
financial statements.

                      4.1.10	Full Disclosure.
				----------------
                      The financial statements referred to in Section 4.1.9
(Financial Condition) of this Agreement, the Financing Documents (including,
without limitation, this Agreement), and the statements, reports or
certificates furnished by any Borrower in connection with the Financing
Documents (a) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (b)
when taken in their entirety, do not omit any material fact necessary to make
the statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no fact known to
any Borrower which such Borrower has not disclosed to the Agent and the
Lenders in writing prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents which materially and
adversely affects or in the future could, in the reasonable opinion of that
Borrower materially adversely affect the condition, financial or otherwise,
results of operations, business, or assets of any Borrower or of any
Subsidiary.

                      4.1.11	Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.
				--------------------------------
                      Except for the Obligations and except as set forth in
Schedule 4.1.11 attached hereto and made a part hereof, the Borrowers have no
Indebtedness for Borrowed Money.  The Agent has received photocopies of all
promissory notes evidencing any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money set forth in
Schedule 4.1.11, together with any and all subordination agreements, other
agreements, documents, or instruments securing, evidencing,  guarantying or
otherwise executed and delivered in connection therewith.

                      4.1.12	Taxes.
				------
                      Each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries has filed all
returns, reports and forms for Taxes which, to the knowledge of the
Borrowers, are required to be filed, and has paid all Taxes as shown on such
returns or on any assessment received by it, to the extent that such Taxes
have become due, unless and to the extent only that such Taxes, assessments
and governmental charges are currently contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings by a Borrower, such Taxes are not the subject of any
Liens other than Permitted Liens, and adequate reserves therefor have been
established as required under GAAP.  All tax liabilities of the Borrowers
were as of the date of audited financial statements referred to in Section
4.1.9 (Financial Condition), and are now, adequately provided for on the
books of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries, as appropriate.  No tax
liability has been asserted by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or
local authority against any Borrower for Taxes in excess of those already
paid.

                      4.1.13	ERISA.
				------
                      With respect to any Plan that is maintained or contributed
to by any Borrower and/or by any Commonly Controlled Entity or as to which
any of the Borrowers retains material liability: (a) no "accumulated funding
deficiency" as defined in Code s412 or ERISA s302 has occurred, whether or
not that accumulated funding deficiency has been waived; (b) no Reportable
Event has occurred other than events for which reporting has been waived or
that are unlikely to result in material liability for any of the Borrowers;
(c) no termination of any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA has occurred; (d)
neither any Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has incurred a
"complete withdrawal" within the meaning of ERISA s4203 from any Multi-
employer Plan that is likely to result in material liability for one or more
of the Borrowers; (e) neither any Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
has incurred a "partial withdrawal" within the meaning of ERISA s4205 with
respect to any Multi-employer Plan that is likely to result in material
liability for one or more of the Borrowers; (f) no Multi-employer Plan to
which any Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity has an obligation to
contribute is to the knowledge of the Borrowers, in "reorganization" within
the meaning of ERISA s4241 nor has notice been received by any Borrower or
any Commonly Controlled Entity that such a Multi-employer Plan will be placed
in "reorganization."

                      4.1.14	Title to Properties.
				--------------------
                      The Borrowers have good and marketable title to all of
their respective properties, including, without limitation, the Collateral
and the properties and assets reflected in the balance sheets described in
Section 4.1.9 (Financial Condition).  The Borrowers have legal, enforceable
and uncontested rights to use freely such property and assets.  All of such
properties, including, without limitation, the Collateral which were
purchased, were purchased for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent
value in the ordinary course of business of both the seller and the Borrowers
and not, by way of example only, as part of a bulk sale.

                      4.1.15	Patents, Trademarks, Etc.
				-------------------------
                      Each of the Borrowers and its Subsidiaries owns,
possesses, or has the right to use all necessary Patents, licenses,
Trademarks, Copyrights, permits and franchises to own its properties and to
conduct its business as now conducted, without known conflict with the rights of
any other Person.  Any and all obligations to pay royalties or other charges
with respect to such properties and assets are properly reflected on the
financial statements described in Section 4.1.9 (Financial Condition).

                      4.1.16	Employee Relations.
				-------------------
                      Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1.16 attached hereto and
made a part hereof, (a) no Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof nor any of the
Borrower's or Subsidiary's employees is subject to any collective bargaining
agreement, (b) no petition for certification or union election is pending
with respect to the employees of any Borrower or any Subsidiary and no union
or collective bargaining unit has sought such certification or recognition
with respect to the employees of a Borrower, (c) there are no strikes,
slowdowns, work stoppages or controversies pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Borrowers after due inquiry, threatened between any Borrower and its
employees, and (d) no Borrower nor any Subsidiaries is subject to an
employment contract, commission contract or bonus agreement.  Hours worked
and payments made to the employees of any one or more of the Borrowers have
not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable
law dealing with such matters.  All payments due from any one or more of the
Borrowers or for which any claim may be made against a Borrower, on account
of wages and employee and retiree health and welfare insurance and other
benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on its books.  The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing Agreement or
any of the other Financing Documents will not give rise to a right of
termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any
collective bargaining agreement to which any Borrower is a party or by which
it is bound.

                      4.1.17	Presence of Hazardous Materials or Hazardous
				--------------------------------------------
				Materials Contamination.
				------------------------

Subsidiaries to, at all times maintain with "A" or better rated insurance
companies such insurance as is required by applicable Laws and such other

liabilities, casualties and contingencies as are usually insured against in
the same geographic areas by business entities engaged in the same or similar
business, including, without limitation, commercial and general liability
coverage for Borrowers' business, fiduciary, management, director and officer

coverage and maintain public liability insurance against claims for personal
injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about any properties

carried on by it, all in such amounts not less than the Agent shall
reasonably determine from time to time.  Each insurance policy must include a
lender's loss payee endorsement and an additional insured endorsement in
favor of Agent in a form acceptable to Lender and shall provide for at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent of any cancellation thereof.
Each of the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent on the Closing Date (and
thereafter on each date there is a material change in the insurance coverage)
a certificate from the Borrowers' insurance carrier of the Borrowers
containing a detailed list of the insurance then in effect and stating the
names of the insurance companies, the types, the amounts and rates of the
insurance, dates of the expiration thereof and the properties and risks
covered thereby.  Each insurance certificate shall name Agent as lender's
loss payee or an additional insured, as appropriate and provide for at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent of any cancellation thereof.
Within thirty (30) days after notice in writing from the Agent, the Borrowers
will obtain such additional insurance as the Agent may reasonably request.

is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, each of the
Borrowers will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries, to pay and discharge
all Taxes prior to the date when any interest or penalty would accrue for the
nonpayment thereof.  Each of the Borrowers shall furnish to the Agent at such
times as the Agent may require proof satisfactory to the Agent of the making
of payments or deposits required by applicable Laws including, without
limitation, payments or deposits with respect to amounts withheld by any of
the Borrowers from wages and salaries of employees and amounts contributed by
any of the Borrowers on account of federal and other income or wage taxes and
amounts due under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended.

                      6.1.10	ERISA.
				------
                      Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Commonly
Controlled Entities to, comply with the funding requirements of ERISA with
respect to Plans for its respective employees.  No Borrower will permit with
respect to any Plan (a) any prohibited transaction or transactions under
ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, which results, or may result, in any
material liability of the Borrower, or (b) any Reportable Event if, upon
termination of the Plan or Plans with respect to which one or more such
Reportable Events shall have occurred, there is or would be any material
liability of the Borrower to the PBGC.  Upon the Agent's request, each
Borrower will deliver to the Agent a copy of the most recent actuarial

to the Agent's Obligations, under this Agreement shall not be limited in any
way to or by the inclusion or exclusion of Receivables within such
assignments.  Receivables so assigned shall secure payment of the Obligations
and are not sold to the Agent and/or the Lenders whether or not any
assignment thereof, which is separate from this Agreement, is in form
absolute.  The Borrowers agree that neither any assignment to the Lender nor
any other provision contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing
Documents shall impose on the Agent or the Lenders any obligation or
liability of any of the Borrowers with respect to that which is assigned and
the Borrowers hereby agree jointly and severally to indemnify the Agent and
the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from any and all
claims, actions, suits, losses, damages, costs, expenses, fees, obligations

delivered in respect of any Receivables, and of any claims made in regard
thereto to the extent that the aggregate purchase price of any such goods in
any given calendar month exceeds in the aggregate One Hundred Fifty Thousand

interests of the Agent and the Lenders therein; (d) permit the Agent and its
agents or representatives to inspect and examine the Inventory and to check
and test the same as to quality, quantity, value and condition at any time or
times hereafter during the Borrowers' and Subsidiaries' usual business hours
or at other reasonable times and (e) at the Agent's request, designate the
Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-

request, a detailed list of the insurance then in effect and stating the

thereof.  The Agent, or an agent designated by the Agent, shall be permitted
to enter the premises of each of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and

time to time without notice.  The Agent shall not have any duty to, and the

Agent with respect to the Agent's Obligations, under this Agreement, under
any of the other Financing Documents and the first priority of that Lien,

all such applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as
may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or
authorization.

                      The Borrowers recognize that the Agent may be unable to
effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of
Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state
Laws.  The Agent may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may
deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale
of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders
or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment
intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons
making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of the Agent
that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment,
and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof.  The
Borrowers covenant and agree to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts
and things as the Agent may request from time to time and as may be necessary
to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is
valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws.   Upon any
such sale or disposition, the Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign
and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities
so sold.

                      Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the

Agent's Obligations, then to any and all Enforcement Costs, and any balance of
such proceeds will be remitted to the Lenders in like currency and funds
received ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such
balance.  Each Lender shall apply any such proceeds received from the Agent to
its Obligations in such order and manner as such Lender shall determine.  If the
sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the
Obligations, the Borrowers shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders
for any deficiency.

                      7.2.6	Performance by Agent.
				---------------------
                      If the Borrowers shall fail to pay the Obligations or

any of the other Financing Documents, the Agent without notice to or demand
upon the Borrowers and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or
any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at
any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and

the Lenders, or in the name of any or all of the Borrowers or otherwise, for
the use and benefit of the Agent, but at the cost and expense of the
Borrowers and without notice to the Borrowers.  All sums so paid or advanced
by the Agent together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance
or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and
expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by the
Borrowers to the Agent on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of

enforce the rights of the Agent and/or any of the Lenders by an action or
actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether
for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this
Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction
against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the
other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or execution of any
right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents,
and/or applicable Laws.  The Agent and each of the Lenders is authorized to

hereunder or under any of the Financing Documents, or in connection herewith
or therewith, except that the Agent shall be obligated on the terms set forth
herein for performance of its express obligations hereunder, and except that
the Agent shall be liable with respect to its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or
distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such
apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in
error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made,
shall be to recover from the other Lenders any payment in excess of the
amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders
hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by
them).  The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectible, or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any
Person.  The Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning
either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or
conditions of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents or the
financial condition of any Person, or the existence or possible existence of
any Default or Event of Default.  The Agent may at any time request
instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which
by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents the Agent
is permitted or required to take or to grant, and the Agent shall be
absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any
approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for
refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the
Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the
applicable percentage of the Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a
result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or
any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of
the applicable percentage of the Lenders and notwithstanding the instructions
of the Lenders, the Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it,
in good faith, believes that such action exposes the Agent to any liability.

       Section 8.4	Reliance.
			---------
       The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices,
statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message
or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram)
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents and its duties
hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.  The Agent
may deem and treat the original Lenders as the owners of the respective Notes
for all purposes until receipt by the Agent of a written notice of
assignment, negotiation or transfer of any interest therein by the Lenders in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Any interest, authority or
consent of any holder of any of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding on
any subsequent holder, transferee, or assignee of such Notes.  The Agent

accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent in its sole discretion.

whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the
Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this
Agreement for any of the Financing Documents, in proportion to each Lender's
Pro Rata Share, all of the foregoing as they may arise, be asserted or be
imposed from time to time; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements
resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.5 shall survive the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Agent, after having received any such
reimbursement from any or all of the Lenders, shall later recover, from a
source other than a Lender, all or any portion of the amount reimbursed, the
Agent shall share such recovery with the reimbursing Lenders in proportion to
their contribution to such reimbursement.

       Section 9.2	Amendments; Waivers.
			--------------------
                      9.2.1	In General.
				-----------
                      This Agreement and the other Financing Documents may not
be amended, modified, or changed in any respect except by an agreement in
writing signed by the Agent, the Requisite Lenders and the Borrowers, and, to
the extent provided in Section 9.2.2 (Circumstances Where Consent of all of
the Lenders is Required), by an agreement in writing signed by the Agent, all
of the Lenders and the Borrowers.  No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, nor consent to any
departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders.  No course of
dealing between the Borrowers and the Agent and/or any of the Lenders and no
act or failure to act from time to time on the part of the Agent and/or any
of the Lenders shall constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any
provision of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents or any
right or remedy under this Agreement, under any of the other Financing
Documents or under applicable Laws.  Without implying any limitation on the
foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.2 (Circumstances
Where Consent of all of the Lenders is Required):

                      (a)	Any waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, for the terms and purpose for which given,
subject to such conditions as the Agent and Lenders may specify in any such
instrument.

                      (b)	No waiver of any Default or Event of Default
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair
any right consequent thereto.

                      (c)	No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any
case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in the
same, similar or other circumstance.

                      (d)	No failure or delay by the Lenders to insist
upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement of
this Agreement or of any of the other Financing Documents, or to exercise any
right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a
waiver, amendment or modification of any such term, condition, covenant or
agreement or of any such breach or preclude the Lenders from exercising any such
right, power or remedy at any time or times.

                      (e)	By accepting payment after the due date of any
amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing
Documents, the Lenders shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require
prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under this Agreement or
under any of the other Financing Documents, or to declare a default for failure
to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount.

                      9.2.2	Circumstances Where Consent of all of the
				-----------------------------------------
				Lenders is Required.
				--------------------
                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
no amendment, modification, change or waiver shall be effective without the
consent of all of the Lenders to:

                      (a)	extend the maturity of the principal of, or
interest on, any Note or of any of the other Obligations;

                      (b)	reduce the principal amount of any Note or of
any of the other Obligations, the rate of interest thereon or the Fees due to
the Lenders, except as expressly permitted therein;

                      (c)	change the aggregate Commitments;

                      (d)	change the date of payment of principal of, or
interest on, any Note or of any of the other Obligations;

                      (e)	change the method of calculation utilized in
connection with the computation of interest and Fees;

                      (f)	change the manner of pro rata application by the
Agent of payments made by the Borrowers, or any other payments required
hereunder or under the other Financing Documents;

                      (g)	modify this Section, Section 8.8.1 (Release of
Collateral), Section 8.12 (Dissemination of Information), or the definition of
"Requisite Lenders";

                      (h)	release or agree to subordinate any material
portion of any Collateral or Financing Document (except to the extent provided
herein or therein);

                      (i)	change the standards used in determining
Eligible Receivables if the Borrowing Base is materially increased as a result
of the change; or

                      (j)	change the definition of "Borrowing
Base".

       Additionally, no change may be made to the amount of a Lender's
Commitment or to the Lender's percentage of all Commitments without the prior
written consent of that Lender.

       Section 9.3	Cumulative Remedies.
			--------------------
       The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the
other Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or
separately, may be exercised from time to time and in such order as the Agent
shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by
existing or future applicable Laws.  In order to entitle the Agent to
exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be
necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be expressly
required in this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Agent may:

                      (a)	proceed against any one or more of the
Borrowers with or without proceeding against any other Person
(including, without limitation, any one or more of the
Guarantors) who may be liable (by endorsement, guaranty,
indemnity or otherwise) for all or any part of the Obligations;

                      (b)	proceed against any one or more of the
Borrowers with or without proceeding under any of the other
Financing Documents or against any Collateral or other collateral
and security for all or any part of the Obligations;

                      (c)	without reducing or impairing the
obligation of the Borrowers and without notice, release or
compromise with any guarantor or other Person liable for all or
any part of the Obligations under the Financing Documents or
otherwise;

                      (d)	without reducing or impairing the
obligations of the Borrowers and without notice thereof:

                      (i)	fail to perfect the Lien in any or
all Collateral or to release any or all the Collateral or
to accept substitute Collateral;

                      (ii)	approve the making of advances
under the Revolving Loan under this Agreement;

                      (iii)	waive any provision of this
Agreement or the other Financing Documents;

                      (iv)	exercise or fail to exercise rights
of set-off or other rights; or

                      (v)	accept partial payments or extend
from time to time the maturity of all or any part of the Obligations.

       Section 9.4	Severability.
			-------------
       In case one or more provisions, or part thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in the other Financing Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any Law, then without need for any further
agreement, notice or action:

                      (a)	the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions shall remain effective and binding on
the parties thereto and shall not be affected or impaired
thereby;

                      (b)	the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
reduced to the limit of such validity;

                      (c)	if such provision or part thereof
pertains to repayment of the Obligations, then, at the sole and
absolute discretion of the Agent, all of the Obligations of the
Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders shall become immediately
due and payable; and

                      (d)	if the affected provision or part thereof
does not pertain to repayment of the Obligations, but operates or
would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement in whole
or in part, then such provision or part thereof only shall be
void, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain operative
and in full force and effect.

       Section 9.5	Assignments by Lenders.
			-----------------------
       Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but without notice to or consent
of the Borrowers, assign to any Person (each an "Assignee" and collectively,
the "Assignees") all or a portion of such Lender's Commitments; provided
that, unless such Lender has assigned all of its Commitments, after giving
effect to such assignment, such Lender must continue to hold a Pro Rata Share
of the Commitments at least equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).  Any
Lender that elects to make such an assignment shall pay to the Agent, for the
exclusive benefit of the Agent, an administrative fee for processing each
such assignment in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($3,500).  Such Lender and its Assignee shall notify the Agent and the
Borrowers in writing of the date on which the assignment is to be effective
(the "Adjustment Date").  On or before the Adjustment Date, the assigning
Lender, the Agent, the Borrowers and the respective Assignee shall execute
and deliver a written assignment agreement in a form acceptable to the Agent,
which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary
to reflect such assignment.  Upon the request of any assigning Lender
following an assignment made in accordance with this Section 9.5, the
Borrowers shall issue new Notes to the assigning Lender and its Assignee
reflecting such assignment, in exchange for the existing Notes held by the
assigning Lender.

       In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may at any time
pledge all or any portion of such Lender's rights under this Agreement, any
of the Commitments or any of the Obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.

       Section 9.6	Participations by Lenders.
			--------------------------
       Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more financial institutions
participating interests in any of such Lender's Obligations or Commitments;
provided, however, that (a) no such participation shall relieve such Lender
from its obligations under this Agreement or under any of the other Financing
Documents to which it is a party, (b) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and
under all of the other Financing Documents to which it is a party, and (c)
the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

       Section 9.7	Disclosure of Information by Lenders.
			-------------------------------------
       In connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or participation by
any Lender in accordance with Section 9.5 (Assignments by Lenders) or Section
9.6 (Participations by Lenders), each Lender shall have the right to disclose
to any actual or potential purchaser, assignee, transferee or participant all
financial records, information, reports, financial statements and documents
obtained in connection with this Agreement and/or any of the other Financing
Documents or otherwise.

       Section 9.8	Successors and Assigns.
			-----------------------
       This Agreement and all other Financing Documents shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders and
their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns,
except that the Borrowers shall not have the right to assign their rights
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Agent and the Requisite Lenders.

       Section 9.9	Continuing Agreements.
			----------------------
       All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrowers in this Agreement, in any of the other Financing Documents, and in
any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the making
by the Lenders of the Loans, the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Agent
and the execution and delivery of the Notes, shall be binding upon the
Borrowers regardless of how long before or after the date hereof any of the
Obligations were or are incurred, and shall continue in full force and effect
so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid. From time to
time upon the Agent's request, and as a condition of the release of any one
or more of the Security Documents, the Borrowers and other Persons obligated
with respect to the Obligations shall provide the Agent with such
acknowledgments and agreements as the Agent may require to the effect that
there exists no defenses, rights of setoff or recoupment, claims,
counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever
against the Agent, any or all of the Lenders, and/or any of its or their
agents and others, or to the extent there are, the same are waived and
released.

       Section 9.10	Enforcement Costs.
			------------------
       The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent on demand all Enforcement
Costs, together with interest thereon from the date incurred or advanced
until paid in full at a per annum rate of interest equal at all times to the
Post-Default Rate. Enforcement Costs shall be immediately due and payable at
the time advanced or incurred, whichever is earlier.  Without implying any
limitation on the foregoing, the Borrowers agree, as part of the Enforcement
Costs, to pay upon demand any and all stamp and other Taxes and fees payable
or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and to save the Agent and
the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to
or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay any Taxes or fees
referred to in this Section.  The provisions of this Section shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of the other
Obligations and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

       Section 9.11   Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.
		      -----------------------------
                      9.11.1	Applicable Law.
				---------------
                      As a material inducement to the Agent and the Lenders to
enter into this Agreement, each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that
the Financing Documents, including, this Agreement, shall be governed by the
Laws of the State, as if each of the Financing Documents and this Agreement
had each been executed, delivered, administered and performed solely within
the State even though for the convenience and at the request of the
Borrowers, one or more of the Financing Documents may be executed elsewhere.
The Agent and the Lenders acknowledge, however, that remedies under certain
of the Financing Documents that relate to property outside the State may be
subject to the laws of the state in which the property is located.

                      9.11.2	Submission to Jurisdiction.
				---------------------------
                      The Borrowers irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of
any state or federal court sitting in the State over any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Financing Documents.  Each of the Borrowers irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.  Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any
such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers and may be
enforced in any court in which the Borrowers are subject to jurisdiction, by
a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is effected upon
the Borrowers in one of the manners specified in this Section or as otherwise
permitted by applicable Laws.

                      9.11.3	Appointment of Agent for Service of Process.
				--------------------------------------------
                      The Borrowers hereby irrevocably designate and appoint CT
Corporation System, 4701 Cox Road, Suite 301, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060, as
the Borrowers' authorized agent to receive on the Borrowers' behalf service
of any and all process that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding
of the nature referred to in this Section in any state or federal court
sitting in the State.  If such agent shall cease so to act, the Borrowers
shall irrevocably designate and appoint without delay another such agent in
the State satisfactory to the Agent and shall promptly deliver to the Agent
evidence in writing of such other agent's acceptance of such appointment and
its agreement that such appointment shall be irrevocable.

                      9.11.4	Service of Process.
				-------------------
                      Each of the Borrowers hereby consents to process being
served in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in this
Section by (a) the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower at the Borrower's
address designated in or pursuant to Section 9.1 (Notices), and (b) serving a
copy thereof upon the agent, if any, designated and appointed by the Borrower
as the Borrower's agent for service of process by or pursuant to this
Section.  The Borrowers irrevocably agree that such service (y) shall be
deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Borrowers in
any such suit, action or proceeding, and (z) shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the
Borrowers.  Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Agent to
serve process in any manner otherwise permitted by law or limit the right of
the Agent otherwise to bring proceedings against the Borrowers in the courts
of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions.

       Section 9.12	Duplicate Originals and Counterparts.
			-------------------------------------
       This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals or
counterparts, each of such duplicate originals or counterparts shall be
deemed to be an original and all taken together shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

       Section 9.13	Headings.
			---------
       The headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience
only, shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose,
and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the
provisions hereof.

       Section 9.14	No Agency.
			----------
       Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Borrowers
as the agent of the Agent or any of the Lenders for any purpose whatsoever or
to permit the Borrowers to pledge any of the credit of the Agent or any of
the Lenders. Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible or
liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part
of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the
cause thereof.  Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall, by anything
herein or in any of the Financing Documents or otherwise, assume any of the
Borrowers' obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to the Agent
and/or the Lenders, and neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be
responsible in any way for the performance by the Borrowers of any of the
terms and conditions thereof.

       Section 9.15	Date of Payment.
			----------------
       Should the principal of or interest on the Notes become due and payable
on other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and in the case of principal, interest shall be
payable thereon at the rate per annum specified in the Notes during such
extension.

       Section 9.16	Entire Agreement.
			-----------------
       This Agreement is intended by the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers
to be a complete, exclusive and final expression of the agreements contained
herein.  Neither the Agent, the Lenders nor the Borrowers shall hereafter
have any rights under any prior agreements pertaining to the matters
addressed by this Agreement but shall look solely to this Agreement for
definition and determination of all of their respective rights, liabilities
and responsibilities under this Agreement.

       Section 9.17	Waiver of Trial by Jury.
			------------------------
       THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE BORROWER AND THE
AGENT AND/OR ANY OR ALL OF THE LENDERS MAY BE PARTIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY PERTAINING TO (A) THIS AGREEMENT, (B) ANY OF THE FINANCING DOCUMENTS,
OR (C) THE COLLATERAL.  THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF
ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING
CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT.

       This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by the
Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the
Lenders hereby represent that no representations of fact or opinion have been
made by any individual to induce this waiver of trial by jury or to in any
way modify or nullify its effect.  The Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders
further represent that they have been represented in the signing of this
Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel,
selected of their own free will, and that they have had the opportunity to
discuss this waiver with counsel.

       Section 9.18	Liability of the Agent and the Lenders.
			---------------------------------------
       The Borrowers hereby agree that neither the Agent nor any of the
Lenders shall be chargeable for any negligence, mistake, act or omission of
any accountant, examiner, agency or attorney employed by the Agent and/or any
of the Lenders in making examinations, investigations or collections, or
otherwise in perfecting, maintaining, protecting or realizing upon any lien
or security interest or any other interest in the Collateral or other
security for the Obligations.

       By inspecting the Collateral or any other properties of the Borrowers
or by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or
fulfilled by the Borrowers or to be given to the Agent and/or any of the
Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents,
neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or
represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal
effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute any
warranty or representation with respect thereto by the Agent and/or the
Lenders.

       Section 9.19	Indemnification.
			----------------
       The Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, the Agent, the
Lenders, the respective parent and Affiliates of the Agent and the Lenders
and the respective parent's and Affiliates' officers, directors,
shareholders, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party," and
collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such
Indemnified Party is a party to any litigation), including without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and costs and costs of investigation,
document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery, incurred
by any Indemnified Party with respect to, arising out of or as a consequence
of (a) this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, including
without limitation, any failure of the Borrowers to pay when due (at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any
other amount due under this Agreement or the other Loan documents, or any
other Event of Default; (b) the use by the Borrowers of any proceeds advanced
hereunder; (c) the transactions contemplated hereunder; or (d) any claim,
demand, action or cause of action being asserted against (i) the Borrowers or
any of their Affiliates by any other Person, or (ii) any Indemnified Party by
the Borrowers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the Borrowers
shall not be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party
from any liability, loss or damage resulting from the gross negligence,
willful misconduct or unlawful actions of such Indemnified Party.  Any amount
payable to the Agent and/or the Lenders under this Section will bear interest
at the Post-Default Rate from the due date until paid.

       Section 9.20	Patriot Act Notice.
