receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Amendment of Original Note. The provisions of the Original
Note are hereby amended in the following manner:
Page 2 of 9 Pages
1.1 Interest Rate. The interest rate provisions of pages 3 through

originally set forth therein:
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower promises to pay to the order
of the Bank, at its principal office in Baltimore, Maryland,
or at such other place or to such other party as the holder
hereof may from time to time designate, the principal sum of
ELEVEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS

balance from the date of this Note, until paid, at the rate of
one half percent (0.5%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate
(as hereinafter defined).
1.2 Prime Rate. The following is inserted as if originally set
forth in the Original Note:
Prime Rate. "Prime Rate" means the prime commercial lending
rate of the Bank as publicly announced to be in effect from
time to time. The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest
rate of interest charged by the Bank for commercial or other
types of loans. It is understood that the Prime Rate is only
one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the
Bank and that by basing interest on the Prime Rate, the Bank
has not committed to charge and the Borrower has not in any
way bargained for interest based on a lower or the lowest rate
at which the Bank may now or in the future make loans to other
borrowers. Any change in the rate of interest as a result of
a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of the date
of the change in the Prime Rate.

Sixty Five Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty One and 79/100 Dollars
($65,921.79) in principal together with any and all accrued
interest

thereon commencing August 1, 1994, and continuing on the first
day of each month thereafter until June 1, 2009, and a payment
on July 1, 2009, at which time the entire unpaid balance of
principal and any accrued but unpaid interest, if not sooner
paid, shall be due and payable in full; provided, however,
that the entire unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid
interest, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on July
1, 1999, or July 1, 2004, at the Bank's sole and absolute
discretion if the Bank provides the Borrower with written
notice no later than April 1, 1999, or April 1, 2004, as the
case may be, of its intention to call this Note (the "Call").
Any change in the rate of interest as a result of a change in
the Prime Rate shall be effective as of the date of the change
in the Prime Rate.
1.4 Loan Extension Fee. The sixth full paragraph of the Original
Note is deleted and the following is inserted as if originally set forth
therein:
Loan Extension Fee. Borrower has paid to Bank a loan
extension fee in the amount of one half percent (0.5%) of the

originally set forth therein:

The holder of this Note and Borrower each, on behalf of itself and
its successors and assigns, waives to the fullest extent permitted
by law all right to trial by jury of any and all claims between
them arising under this Note, the Amended and Restated Deed of
Trust, the Loan Agreement, or any other documents and agreements
executed in connection, directly or indirectly, with this loan
transaction, and any and all claims arising under common law or
under any statute of any state or the United States of America,
whether any such claims be now existing or hereafter arising, now
known or unknown. In making this waiver, the holder of this Note
and Borrower acknowledge and agree that any and all claims made by
the holder of this Note against Borrower and all
Page 6 of 9 Pages
claims made by the Borrower against the holder of this
Note shall be heard by a judge of a court of proper
jurisdiction and shall not be heard by a jury. The holder
of this Note and Borrower acknowledge and agree that this
waiver of trial by jury is a material element of the
