security interest in each and every item of the Collateral to the Lender. All
documents and agreements related to the Collateral are true and correct and in
all respects what they purport to be. All signatures and endorsements that
appear thereon are genuine and all signatories and endorsers have full capacity
to contract. None of the transactions underlying or giving rise to the
Collateral violate any applicable state or federal laws or regulations. All
documents relating to the Collateral are legally sufficient under such laws or
regulations and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Financing Documents

officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Maryland or any state court
located in Baltimore, Maryland (the "Applicable Courts"). Each party hereto

Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with
respect to the enforcement of any of the Financing Documents), and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such

the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
