and all costs and expenses incurred by Bank to obtain, preserve, perfect and
enforce the security interest granted herein and to maintain, preserve and

Obligations”), Debtor hereby grants to Bank a continuing security interest in
and lien upon the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, and any additions, replacements, accessions, or substitutions thereof
and all cash and non-cash proceeds and products thereof (collectively, “Collateral”):

All of the personal property and fixtures of Debtor of
every kind and nature including, without limitation, all accounts, equipment,
accessions, fixtures, inventory, chattel paper, instruments, investment
property, documents, letter-of-credit rights, deposit accounts and general
intangibles, wherever located.  The
foregoing fixture Collateral is located at or affixed to real property known as
9801 Highway 78, Ladson, South Carolina 29456 as recorded at Book S174, Page
210, in the real property records of Charleston County, of the State of South
Carolina, wherein the record owner is Aerospance/Defense, Inc. (a/k/a RM
Aerospace/Defense, Inc.).

Debtor hereby represents and agrees that:

OWNERSHIP.  Debtor owns the Collateral or Debtor will
purchase and acquire rights in the Collateral within ten days of the date
advances are made under the Loan Documents. 
If Collateral is being acquired with the proceeds of an advance under
the Loan Documents, Debtor authorizes Bank to disburse proceeds directly to the
seller of the Collateral.  The Collateral
is free and clear of all liens, security interests, and claims except those
previously reported in writing to and approved by Bank, and Debtor will keep
the Collateral free and clear from all liens, security interests and claims,
other than those granted to or approved by Bank.

NAME AND OFFICES; JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION.  The
name and address of Debtor appearing at the beginning of this Agreement are
Debtor’s exact legal name and the address of its chief executive office.  There has been no change in the name of
Debtor, or the name under which Debtor conducts business, within the five years
preceding the date 

hereof except as previously
reported in writing to Bank.  Debtor has
not moved its chief executive office within the five years preceding the date
hereof except as previously reported in writing to Bank.  Debtor is organized under the laws of the
State of Nevada and has not changed the jurisdiction of its organization within
the five years preceding the date hereof except as previously reported in
writing to Bank.

TITLE/TAXES.  Debtor has good and marketable title to the
Collateral and will warrant and defend same against all claims.  Debtor will not transfer, sell, or lease
Collateral (except as permitted herein). 
Debtor agrees to pay promptly all taxes and assessments when due unless
contested in good faith through appropriate procedures upon or for the use of
Collateral and on this Security Agreement. 
At its option, Bank may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or
other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on Collateral no sooner than ten
days after the Borrowers failure to do so. 
Debtor agrees to reimburse Bank, on demand, for any such payment made by
Bank.  Any amounts so paid shall be added
to the Secured Obligations.

WAIVERS.  Debtor agrees not to assert against Bank as a
defense (legal or equitable), as a set-off, as a counterclaim, or otherwise,
any claims Debtor may have against any seller or lessor that provided personal
property or services relating to any part of the Collateral or against any
other party liable to Bank for all or any part of the Secured Obligations.  Debtor waives all exemptions and homestead
rights with regard to the Collateral. 
Debtor waives any and all rights to any bond or security which might be
required by applicable law prior to the exercise of any of Bank’s remedies
against any Collateral.  All rights of
Bank and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Debtor hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional, not discharged or impaired irrespective of
(and regardless of whether Debtor receives any notice of):  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of
any Loan Document; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or
performance, or in any term, of all or any of the Secured Obligations or the
Loan Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from any Loan Document unless agreed to in writing by the parties; or (iii) any
exchange, insufficiency, unenforceability, enforcement, release, impairment or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any release of or modifications to
or insufficiency, unenforceability or enforcement of the obligations of any
guarantor or other obligor.  To the
extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby waives any rights under any valuation,
stay, appraisement, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may
hereafter exist and which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any
sale or disposition of the Collateral by Bank; and any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any party
with respect to the Secured Obligations.

NOTIFICATIONS; LOCATION OF COLLATERAL.  Debtor will notify Bank in writing at least
30 days prior to any change in:  (i)
Debtor’s chief place of business and/or residence; (ii) Debtor’s name or
identity; (iii) Debtor’s corporate/organizational structure; or (iv) the
jurisdiction in which Debtor is organized. 
In addition, Debtor shall promptly notify Bank of any material claims or
alleged claims of any other person or entity to the Collateral or the institution
of any litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation or administrative
proceedings against or affecting the Collateral.  Debtor will keep Collateral at the
location(s) previously provided to Bank until such time as Bank provides
written advance consent to a change of location.  Debtor will bear the cost of preparing and
filing any documents necessary to protect Bank’s liens.

COLLATERAL CONDITION AND LAWFUL USE.  Debtor represents that the Collateral is in
good repair and condition and that Debtor shall use reasonable care to prevent
Collateral from being damaged or depreciating, normal wear and tear
excepted.  Debtor shall immediately
notify Bank of any material loss or damage to Collateral.  Debtor shall not permit any item of
Collateral to become an accession to other property unless such property is
also Collateral hereunder.  Debtor
represents it is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules
and regulations applicable to the Collateral and its properties, operations,
business, and finances.

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE.  Debtor shall bear all risk of loss with
respect to the Collateral.  The injury to
or loss of Collateral, either partial or total, shall not release Debtor from
payment or other performance hereof. 
Debtor agrees to obtain and keep in force property insurance on the
Collateral with a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement in favor of Bank and
commercial general liability insurance naming Bank as Additional Insured and
such other insurance as Bank may require from time to time.

 2
 

Such insurance is to be in form and amounts
satisfactory to Bank and issued by reputable insurance carriers satisfactory to
Bank with a Best Insurance Report Key Rating of at least “A-”.  All such policies shall provide to Bank a
minimum of 30 days written notice of cancellation.  Debtor shall furnish to Bank such policies,
or other evidence of such policies satisfactory to Bank.  If
Debtor fails to obtain or maintain in force such insurance or fails to furnish
such evidence, Bank is
authorized, but not obligated, to purchase any or all insurance or “Single
Interest Insurance” protecting such interest as Bank deems appropriate against
such risks and for such coverage and for such amounts, including either the
loan amount or value of the Collateral, all at its discretion, and at Debtor’s
expense.  In such event, Debtor agrees to
reimburse Bank for the cost of such insurance and Bank may add such cost to the
Secured Obligations.  Debtor shall bear
the risk of loss to the extent of any deficiency in the effective insurance
coverage with respect to loss or damage to any of the Collateral.  Debtor hereby assigns to Bank the proceeds of
all property insurance covering the Collateral up to the amount of the Secured
Obligations and directs any insurer to make payments directly to Bank.  During the continuance of a Default or the
occurrence of an event that will likely lead to a Default, Debtor hereby
appoints Bank its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be
irrevocable and coupled with an interest for so long as Secured Obligations are
unpaid, to file proof of loss and/or any other forms required to collect from
any insurer any amount due from any damage or destruction of Collateral, to
agree to and bind Debtor as to the amount of said recovery, to designate
payee(s) of such recovery, to grant releases to insurer, to grant subrogation
rights to any insurer, and to endorse any settlement check or draft.  Debtor agrees not to exercise any of the
foregoing powers granted to Bank without Bank’s prior written consent.

FINANCING
STATEMENTS, CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, POWER OF ATTORNEY.  No financing statement (other than any filed
or approved by Bank) covering any Collateral is on file in any public filing
office other than Permitted Liens. 
Debtor authorizes the filing of one or more financing statements covering
the Collateral in form satisfactory to Bank, and without Debtor’s signature
where authorized by law, agrees to deliver certificates of title on which Bank’s
lien has been indicated covering any Collateral subject to a certificate of
title statute, and will pay all costs and expenses of filing or applying for
the same or of filing this Security Agreement in all public filing offices,
where filing is deemed by Bank to be desirable. 
Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Bank the true and lawful attorney
of Debtor with full power of substitution to take any and all appropriate
action and to execute any and all documents, instruments or applications that
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purpose and carry out the terms
of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, to complete,
execute, and deliver any Control Agreement(s) by Bank, Debtor and Third
Party(ies) that may be or become required in connection herewith (individually
and collectively the “Control Agreement”), and any instructions to Third
Party(ies) regarding, among other things, control and disposition of any
Collateral which is the subject of such Control Agreement(s).  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations
have been paid in full.  Neither Bank nor
anyone acting on its behalf shall be liable for acts, omissions, errors in
judgment, or mistakes in fact in such capacity as attorney-in-fact.  Debtor ratifies all acts of Bank as
attorney-in-fact.  Debtor agrees to take
such other actions, at Debtor’s expense, as might be requested for the
perfection, continuation and assignment, in whole or in part, of the security
interests granted herein and to assure and preserve Bank’s intended priority
position.  If certificates, passbooks, or
other documentation or evidence is/are issued or outstanding as to any of the
Collateral, Debtor will cause the security interests of Bank to be properly
protected, including perfection by notation thereon or delivery thereof to
Bank.

LANDLORD/MORTGAGEE WAIVERS.  If requested by Bank, Debtor shall cause each
mortgagee of real property owned by Debtor and each landlord of real property
leased by Debtor to execute and deliver instruments satisfactory in form and
substance to Bank by which such mortgagee or landlord subordinates its rights,
if any, in the Collateral.

CONTROL.  Debtor will cooperate with Bank in obtaining
control with respect to Collateral consisting of electronic chattel paper.  Debtor authorizes
and directs Third Party to comply with the terms of this Security Agreement, to
enter into a Control Agreement, to mark its records to show the security
interest of and/or the transfer to Bank of the property pledged hereunder.

 3
 

CHATTEL PAPER, ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES.  Debtor warrants that Collateral consisting of
chattel paper, accounts, or general intangibles is (i) genuine and enforceable
in accordance with its terms; (ii) not subject to any defense, set-off,
claim or counterclaim of a material nature against Debtor except as to which
Debtor has notified Bank in writing; and (iii) not subject to any other
circumstances that would impair the validity, enforceability, value, or amount
of such Collateral except as to which Debtor has notified Bank in writing.  Debtor shall not amend, modify or supplement
any lease, contract or agreement contained in Collateral or waive any provision
therein, without prior written consent of Bank.  Debtor will not create any
tangible chattel paper without placing a legend on the chattel paper acceptable
to Bank indicating that Bank has a security interest in the chattel paper.  Debtor will not create any electronic chattel
paper without taking all steps deemed necessary by Bank to confer control of
the electronic chattel paper upon Bank in accordance with the UCC.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION.  From time to time, at Bank’s request, Debtor
shall provide Bank with schedules describing all accounts, including customers’
addresses, created or acquired by Debtor and at Bank’s request shall execute
and deliver written assignments of contracts and other documents evidencing
such accounts to Bank.  Together with
each schedule, Debtor shall, if requested by Bank, furnish Bank with copies of
Debtor’s sales journals, invoices, customer purchase orders or the equivalent,
and original shipping or delivery receipts for all goods sold, and Debtor
warrants the genuineness thereof.

ACCOUNT DEBTORS.  If a Default should occur, Bank shall have
the right to notify the account debtors obligated on any or all of the
Collateral to make payment thereof directly to Bank and Bank may take control
of all proceeds of any such Collateral, which rights Bank may exercise at any
time.  The cost of such collection and
enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be borne solely by
Debtor whether the same is incurred by Bank or Debtor.  If a Default should occur or upon demand of
Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all checks, drafts, cash and other
remittances in payment on Collateral, deposit the same in a special bank
account maintained with Bank, over which Bank also has the power of withdrawal.

If a Default should occur, no discount, credit, or
allowance shall be granted by Debtor to any account debtor and no return of
merchandise shall be accepted by Debtor without Bank’s consent.  Bank may, after Default, settle or adjust
disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms
that Bank considers advisable, and in such cases Bank will credit the Secured
Obligations with the net amounts received by Bank, after deducting all of the
reasonable expenses incurred by Bank. 
Debtor agrees to indemnify and defend Bank and hold it harmless with
respect to any claim or proceeding arising out of any matter related to
collection of Collateral.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.  If any Collateral covered hereby arises from
obligations due to Debtor from any governmental unit or organization, Debtor
shall immediately notify Bank in writing and execute all documents and take all
actions deemed necessary by Bank to ensure recognition by such governmental
unit or organization of the rights of Bank in the Collateral.

INVENTORY.  So long as no Default has occurred, Debtor
shall have the right in the regular course of business, to process and sell
Debtor’s inventory.  If a Default should
occur or upon demand of Bank, Debtor will, upon receipt of all checks, drafts,
cash and other remittances, in payment of Collateral sold, deposit the same in
a special bank account maintained with Bank over which Bank also has the power
of withdrawal.  Debtor agrees to notify
Bank immediately in the event that any inventory purchased by or delivered to
Debtor is evidenced by a bill of lading, dock warrant, dock receipt, warehouse
receipt or other document of title and to deliver such document to Bank upon
request.

INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER, DOCUMENTS.  Any Collateral that is, or is evidenced by, instruments, chattel paper or negotiable
documents will be properly assigned to and the originals of any such Collateral
in tangible form deposited with and held by Bank, unless Bank shall hereafter
otherwise direct or consent in writing. 
During the continuance of a Default, Bank may, without notice, before or
after maturity of the Secured Obligations, exercise any or all rights of
collection, conversion, or exchange and other similar rights, privileges and
options pertaining to such Collateral, but shall have no duty to do so.

 4
 

COLLATERAL DUTIES.  Bank shall have no custodial or ministerial
duties to perform with respect to Collateral pledged except as set forth
herein; and by way of explanation and not by way of limitation, Bank shall
incur no liability for any of the following: 
(i) loss or depreciation of Collateral (unless caused by its willful
misconduct or gross negligence), (ii) failure to present any paper for payment
or protest, to protest or give notice of nonpayment, or any other notice with
respect to any paper or Collateral.

TRANSFER OF COLLATERAL.  Bank may assign its rights in Collateral or
any part thereof to any assignee who shall thereupon become vested with all the
powers and rights herein given to Bank with respect to the property so
transferred and delivered, and Bank shall thereafter be forever relieved and
fully discharged from any liability with respect to such property so transferred,
but with respect to any property not so transferred, Bank shall retain all
rights and powers hereby given.

INSPECTION, BOOKS AND RECORDS.  Debtor will at all times keep accurate and
complete records covering each item of Collateral, including the proceeds
therefrom.  Bank, or any of its agents,
shall have the right, at intervals to be determined by Bank and without
hindrance or delay, at Debtor’s expense, to inspect, audit, and examine the
Collateral during normal business hours and to make copies of and extracts from
the books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence and other data
relating to Collateral, Debtor’s business or any other transaction between the
parties hereto.  Debtor will at its
expense furnish Bank copies thereof upon request.  For the further security of Bank, it is
agreed that Bank has and is hereby granted a security interest in all books and
records of Debtor pertaining to the Collateral.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  Debtor will comply in all material respects
with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, applicable to it,
including without limitation, laws and regulations relating to the environment,
labor or economic sanctions, in the creation, use, operation, manufacture and
storage of the Collateral and the conduct of its business.

REGULATION U.  None of the proceeds of the credit secured
hereby shall be used directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying any margin stock in violation of any of the provisions of Regulation U
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Regulation U”), or
for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally
incurred to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other purchase which
might render the Loan a “Purpose Credit” within the meaning of Regulation U.

CROSS COLLATERALIZATION LIMITATION.  As to any other existing or future consumer
purpose loan made by Bank to Debtor, within the meaning of the Federal Consumer
Credit Protection Act, Bank expressly waives any security interest granted
herein in Collateral that Debtor uses as a principal dwelling and household
goods.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COSTS OF COLLECTION.  Debtor shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable
expenses actually incurred in enforcing this Security Agreement and in preserving
and liquidating Collateral, including but not limited to, reasonable
arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether
incurred with or without the commencement of a suit, trial, arbitration, or
administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

DEFAULT.  If any of the following occurs, a default (“Default”)
under this Security Agreement shall exist: 
Loan Document Default.  A default under any Loan Document.  Collateral Loss or
Destruction.  Any material
loss, theft, substantial damage, or destruction of Collateral not fully covered
by insurance, or as to which insurance proceeds are not remitted to Bank within
15 days of the loss recovery and no later than sixty (60) days from the date of
the loss.  Collateral
Sale, Lease or Encumbrance. 
Any sale, lease, or encumbrance of any Collateral not specifically
permitted herein without prior written consent of Bank.  Levy, Seizure or
Attachment.  The making of any
levy, seizure, or attachment on or of Collateral which is not removed within 10
days.  Unauthorized
Collection of Collateral.  Any

 5
 

Collateral.  Unauthorized Termination. 
Any attempt to terminate, revoke, rescind, modify, or violate the terms
of this Security Agreement or any Control Agreement without the prior written
consent of Bank.

REMEDIES ON DEFAULT (INCLUDING POWER OF SALE).  If a Default occurs Bank shall have all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.  Without limitation thereto, Bank shall have
the following rights and remedies:  (i)
to take immediate possession of Collateral, without notice or resort to legal
process, and for such purpose, to enter upon any premises on which Collateral
or any part thereof may be situated and to remove the same therefrom, or, at
its option, to render Collateral unusable or dispose of said Collateral on
Debtor’s premises; (ii) to require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank; (iii) to exercise its
or its affiliate’s right of set-off or Bank lien as to any monies of
Debtor deposited in deposit accounts and investment accounts of any nature
maintained by Debtor with Bank or affiliates of Bank, without advance notice,
regardless of whether such accounts are general or special; (iv) to dispose of
Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, separately or with any real property
interests also securing the Secured Obligations, in any county or place to be
selected by Bank, at either private or public sale (at which public sale Bank
may be the purchaser) with or without having the Collateral physically present
at said sale.

Any notice of sale, disposition or other action by
Bank required by law and sent to Debtor at Debtor’s address shown above, or at
such other address of Debtor as may from time to time be shown on the records
of Bank, at least 10 days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable
notice to Debtor.  Notice shall be deemed
given or sent when mailed postage prepaid to Debtor’s address as provided
herein.  Bank shall be entitled to apply
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, and the
payments received by Bank with respect to any of the Collateral, to Secured
Obligations in such order and manner as Bank may determine.  Collateral that is subject to rapid declines
in value and is customarily sold in recognized markets may be disposed of by
Bank in a recognized market for such collateral without providing notice of
sale.  Debtor waives any and all
requirements that the Bank sell or dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
at any particular time, regardless of whether Debtor has requested such sale or
disposition.

REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE.  No failure on the part of Bank to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank or any
right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any right, power or remedy. 
The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law, in equity, or in other Loan Documents.

INDEMNIFICATION.  Debtor shall protect, indemnify and save
harmless Bank from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, damages, penalties, fines, causes of action, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively,
“Damages”) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or assessed against Bank
on account of or in connection with (i) the Loan Documents or any failure or
alleged failure of Debtor to comply with any of the terms of, or the inaccuracy
or breach of any representation in, the Loan Documents, (ii) the Collateral or
any claim of loss or damage to the Collateral or any injury or claim of injury
to, or death of, any person or property that may be occasioned by any cause
whatsoever pertaining to the Collateral or the use, occupancy or operation
thereof, (iii) any failure or alleged failure of Debtor to comply with any law,
rule or regulation applicable to it or to the Collateral or the use, occupancy
or operation of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the failure to
pay any taxes, fees or other charges), (iv) any Damages whatsoever by reason of
any alleged action, obligation or undertaking of Bank relating in any way to or
any matter contemplated by the Loan Documents, or (v) any claim for brokerage
fees or such other commissions relating to the Collateral or any other Secured
Obligations.  Nothing contained herein
shall require Debtor to indemnify Bank for any Damages resulting from Bank’s
gross negligence or its willful misconduct, and such indemnity shall be
effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Bank in
excess of any net proceeds received by it from any insurance of Debtor (other
than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages.  The indemnity provided for herein shall
survive payment of the Secured Obligations and shall extend to the officers,
directors, employees and duly authorized agents of Bank.  In the event Bank incurs any Damages arising
out of or in any way relating to the transaction contemplated by the Loan
Documents 

 6
 

(including any of the matters referred to in this
section), the amounts of such Damages shall be added to the Secured
Obligations, shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the
interest rate borne by the Secured Obligations from the date incurred until
paid and shall be payable on demand.

MISCELLANEOUS.  (i) Amendments and Waivers.  No waiver, amendment or modification of any
provision of this Security Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and
signed by Debtor and an officer of Bank. 
No waiver by Bank of any Default shall operate as a waiver of any other
Default or of the same Default on a future occasion.  (ii) Assignment.  All rights of Bank hereunder are freely
assignable, in whole or in part, and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by Bank, its successors, assigns and affiliates.  Debtor shall not assign its rights and
interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, and any attempt
by Debtor to assign without Bank’s prior written consent is null and void.  Any assignment shall not release Debtor from
the Secured Obligations.  This Security
Agreement shall be binding upon Debtor, and the heirs, personal
representatives, successors, and assigns of Debtor.  (iii) Applicable Law; Conflict
Between Documents.  This
Security Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the law of the
jurisdiction named in the address of the Bank shown on the first page hereof
without regard to that Jurisdiction’s conflict of laws principles, except to
the extent that the UCC requires the application of the law of a different

of any commitment letter or loan proposal, the terms of this Security Agreement
shall control.  (iv) Jurisdiction.  Debtor irrevocably agrees to non-exclusive
personal jurisdiction in the state identified as the Jurisdiction above.  (v) Severability.  If any provision of this Security Agreement

notice of said change of address by registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, all charges prepaid.

Security Agreement or any provision hereof.

(Individually and collectively, “Borrower”)

Wachovia Bank, National Association

177 Meeting Street, Suite 450

Charleston, South Carolina 29401

(Hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”)

Borrower
promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of
America by debiting a direct deposit account as herein provided, the sum of Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) or such sum as may be advanced and outstanding
from time to time, with interest on the unpaid principal balance at the rate
and on the terms provided in this Promissory Note (including all renewals,
extensions or modifications hereof, this “Note”).

LOAN
AGREEMENT.  This Note
is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan Agreement between Bank and
Borrower of even date herewith, as modified from time to time.

LINE OF CREDIT.  Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, and,
upon the request of Borrower, Bank shall advance and readvance under this Note
from time to time until the maturity hereof (each an “Advance” and together the
“Advances”), so long as the total principal balance outstanding  under this  Note at any
one time does not exceed the principal amount stated on the face of this  Note, subject to the limitations described in any loan agreement
to which this Note is subject.  Bank’s
obligation to make Advances under this  Note shall
terminate if Borrower is in Default. As of the date of each proposed Advance,
Borrower shall be deemed to represent that each representation made in the Loan
Documents is true as of such date, except to the extent of changes in the
ordinary course of business that singly or in the aggregate are not materially
adverse and to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate
to an earlier date.

If Borrower subscribes to Bank’s cash management services and such
services are applicable to this line of credit, the terms of such service shall
control the manner in which funds are transferred between the applicable demand
deposit account and the line of credit for credit or debit to the line of
credit.

USE OF
PROCEEDS.  Borrower
shall use the proceeds of the loan(s) evidenced by this Note for the commercial
purposes of Borrower, as follows:  bridge
facility for working capital to be repaid with delayed collection of Department
of Defense accounts receivable, proceeds of secondary stock offering or
refinancing.

SECURITY.  Borrower has granted Bank a security interest in the
collateral described in the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to,
personal property collateral described in that certain Security Agreement of
even date herewith.

INTEREST RATE.  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
balance of this Note from the date hereof at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus
2.00%, as that rate may change from day to day in accordance with changes in
the LIBOR Market Index Rate (“Interest Rate”). 
“LIBOR Market Index Rate”, for any day, means the rate for 1 month U.S.
dollar deposits as reported on Telerate Successor Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m.,
London time, on such day, or if such day is not a London business day, then the
immediately preceding London business day (or if not so reported, then as
determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

DEFAULT RATE.  In addition to all other rights contained in
this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default
continues, all outstanding Obligations, other than Obligations under any
swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time)
between Borrower and Bank or its affiliates,
shall bear interest at the Interest Rate plus 2% (“Default Rate”).  The Default Rate shall also apply from
acceleration  until the Obligations or any
judgment thereon is paid in full.

INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360).  Interest
and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days in the applicable period (“Actual/360 Computation”).  The Actual/360 Computation determines the
annual effective yield by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year’s period
and then dividing said rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be
applied for each day in the applicable period. 
Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an annualized
effective interest rate exceeding the nominal rate.

REPAYMENT
TERMS.  This Note shall be due and  payable in consecutive monthly payments of accrued interest only, commencing on
August 31, 2007, and continuing on
the same day of each month thereafter until fully paid.  In any event, all principal and accrued
interest shall be due and payable on September 30, 2007, unless renewed in
writing by Bank in its sole discretion.

AUTOMATIC
DEBIT OF CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR LOAN PAYMENT.  Borrower
authorizes Bank to debit demand deposit account number 2000028274719 or any
other account with Bank  (routing
number 053207766) designated in writing by Borrower, beginning August 31, 2007
for any payments due under this Note. 
Borrower further certifies that Borrower holds legitimate ownership of
this account and preauthorizes this periodic debit as part of its right under
said ownership.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  Monies received by Bank from any
source for application toward payment of the Obligations shall be applied to
accrued interest and then to principal. 
If a Default occurs, monies
may be applied to the Obligations in any manner or order deemed appropriate by
Bank.

If any payment received by Bank under this Note or other Loan Documents
is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Bank because of any adverse
claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an
obligation of all persons liable under this Note or other Loan Documents as
though such payment had not been made.

DEFINITIONS.  Loan Documents.  The term “Loan
Documents”, as used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, refers to all
documents executed in connection with or related to the loan evidenced by this
Note and any prior notes which evidence all or any portion of the loan
evidenced by this Note, and any letters of credit issued pursuant to any loan
agreement to which this Note is subject, any applications for such letters of
credit and any other documents executed in connection therewith or related
thereto,  and may include, without limitation, a
commitment letter that survives closing, a loan agreement, this Note, guaranty
agreements, security agreements, security instruments, financing statements,
mortgage instruments, any renewals or modifications, whenever any of the
foregoing are executed, but does not include swap agreements (as defined in 11
U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time). 
Obligations.  The term “Obligations”, as used in this Note
and the other Loan Documents, refers to any and all indebtedness and other
obligations under this Note, all other obligations under any other Loan

 2
 

Document(s), and all obligations under any swap agreements (as defined in
11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time) between Borrower and
Bank, or its affiliates, whenever
executed.  Certain
Other Terms.  All terms that
are used but not otherwise defined in any of the Loan Documents shall have the
definitions provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.

LATE CHARGE.  If any payments are not timely made, Borrower
shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past
due for 15 or more days.  This late
charge shall not apply to payments due at maturity or by acceleration hereof,
unless such late payment is in an amount not greater than the highest periodic
payment due hereunder.

Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late
charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Bank’s right to collect such late charge
or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS.  Borrower
shall pay all of Bank’s reasonable expenses actually incurred to enforce or collect any of the
Obligations including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’,
attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the
commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative
proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.

USURY.  If at any time the effective interest rate
under this Note would, but for this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate,
the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate,
and any amount received by Bank in excess of such rate shall be applied to
principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing,
returned to Borrower.

DEFAULT.  If any of the following occurs, a default (“Default”)
under this Note shall exist:  Nonpayment; Nonperformance. 
The failure of timely payment or performance of the Obligations or
Default under this Note or any other Loan Documents within three (3) days of
due date thereof.  False
Warranty.  A warranty or
representation made or deemed made in the Loan Documents or furnished Bank in
connection with the loan evidenced by this Note proves materially false, or if
of a continuing nature, becomes materially false.  Cross Default.  At Bank’s option, any default in payment or
performance of any obligation under any other loans, contracts or agreements of
Borrower, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, any general partner of or
the holder(s) of the majority ownership interests of Borrower with Bank or its
affiliates (“Affiliate” shall have the meaning as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101,
as in effect from time to time, except that the term “Borrower” shall be
substituted for the term “Debtor” therein; “Subsidiary” shall mean any business
in which Borrower holds, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest).  Cessation; Bankruptcy.  The death of, appointment of a guardian for,
dissolution of, termination of existence of, loss of good standing status by,
appointment of a receiver for, assignment for the benefit of creditors of, or
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding by or against Borrower,
its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, if any, or any general partner of or the
holder(s) of the majority ownership interests of Borrower, or any party to the
Loan Documents.  Material Capital Structure or Business
Alteration.  Without prior written consent of Bank, (i) a
material alteration in the kind or type of Borrower’s business or that of
Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates, if any; (ii) the sale of substantially
all of the business or assets of Borrower, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or
Affiliates or any guarantor, or a material portion (10% or more) of such
business or assets if such a sale is outside the ordinary course of business of
Borrower, or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any guarantor, or
more than 50% of the outstanding stock or voting power of or in any such entity
in a single transaction or a series of transactions; (iii) the acquisition of
substantially all of the business or assets or more than 50% of the outstanding stock or voting power of any
other entity; or (iv) should any Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or
Affiliates or any guarantor enter into any merger or consolidation.  Material
Adverse Change.  Bank
determines in good faith, in its sole discretion, that the prospects for
payment or performance of the Obligations are impaired or there has occurred a
material adverse change in the business or prospects of Borrower, financial or
otherwise.

REMEDIES
UPON DEFAULT.  If a
Default occurs under this Note or any Loan Documents, Bank may at any time
thereafter, take the following actions:  Bank Lien.  Foreclose its security interest or lien
against

 3
 

Borrower’s deposit
accounts and investment property without notice.  Acceleration Upon Default.  Accelerate the maturity of this Note and, at
Bank’s option, any or all other Obligations, other than Obligations under any
swap agreements (as defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101, as in effect from time to time)
between Borrower and Bank, or its affiliates, which shall be due in accordance
with and governed by the provisions of said swap agreements; whereupon this
Note and the accelerated Obligations shall be immediately due and payable;
provided, however, if the Default is based upon a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding commenced by or against Borrower or any guarantor or endorser of
this Note, all Obligations (other than Obligations under any swap agreement as
referenced above) shall automatically and immediately be due and payable.  Cumulative.  Exercise any rights and remedies as provided
under the Note and other Loan Documents, or as provided by law or equity.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION.  Borrower
shall deliver to Bank such information as Bank may reasonably request from time
to time, including without limitation, financial statements and information
pertaining to Borrower’s financial condition. 
Such information shall be true, complete, and accurate.

WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS.  No waivers, amendments or
modifications of this Note and other Loan Documents shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by an officer of Bank. 
No waiver by Bank of any Default  shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or the same Default on a
future occasion.  Neither the failure nor
any delay on the part of Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy under
this Note and other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Except to the
extent otherwise provided by the Loan Documents or prohibited by law, each
Borrower and each other person liable under this Note waives presentment,
protest, notice of dishonor, demand
for payment, notice of intention to
accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of sale and all
other notices of any kind.  Further, each
agrees that Bank may (i) extend,
modify or renew this Note or make a novation of the loan evidenced by
this Note, and/or (ii) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect
to any collateral securing this Note, or with respect to any Borrower or other
person liable under this Note or any other Loan Documents, all without notice
to or consent of each Borrower and other such person, and without affecting the
liability of each Borrower and other such person; provided, Bank may not
extend, modify or renew this Note or make a novation of the loan evidenced by
this Note without the consent of the Borrower, or if there is more than one
Borrower, without the consent of at least one Borrower; and further provided,
if there is more than one Borrower, Bank may not enter into a modification of
this Note which increases the burdens of a Borrower without the consent of that
Borrower.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS.  Assignment.  This Note
and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and

interest therein to any Federal Reserve Bank. 
Borrower shall not assign its rights and interest hereunder without the
prior written consent of Bank, and any attempt by Borrower to assign without
Bank’s prior written consent is null and void.

any other Loan Document, the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and interpreted

Bank a security interest in all of Borrower’s deposit
accounts and investment property with

this Note shall not apply to said swap

 4

are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of the Loan Documents.  Advances.  Bank may,
in its sole discretion, make other advances which shall be deemed to be
advances under this Note, even though the stated principal amount of this Note
may be exceeded as a result thereof.  Posting of Payments. 
All payments received by check or other negotiable instrument, if any,
during normal banking hours after 2:00 p.m. local time at the office of

from time to time.  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO, INCLUDING BANK BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES THAT IN ANY
JUDICIAL, MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF  BORROWER  BY EXECUTION HEREOF AND BANK BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF,
