(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall make swing line loans (each, a “Swing Line Loan” and collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time during the Swing Line Commitment Period, in the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00); provided, however, that at no time may the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans, plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Facility A (including the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding), exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility A Commitment Amount, and (ii) the applicable Maximum Borrowing Base. During the Swing Line Commitment Period, the Borrowers may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, repaying Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the request of the Swing Line Lender, the Agent may, at any time, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct the Agent to act on their behalf) request each Lender having a Percentage of Facility A, including the Lender then acting as the Swing Line Lender, to make, and each such Lender, including the Lender then acting as the Swing Line Lender, shall make an advance under Facility A, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of Facility A, of the amount of the Swing Line Outstandings as of the date such request is made. In such event, each such Lender shall make the requested proceeds available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the funding provisions set forth in this Agreement. The proceeds of Facility A advanced pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Line Outstandings.

1.2 Use of Proceeds. The Loan shall be used by the Borrowers only for the following purposes: (i) to refinance certain existing indebtedness of the Borrowers, including, without limitation, the Kaiser Group Debt; (ii) to finance any Permitted Acquisition (including, the purchase price of a Permitted Acquisition, together with customary transaction costs and expenses payable to unrelated and unaffiliated third parties relating thereto); and (iii) for working capital and general corporate needs. Each Borrower agrees that it will not use or permit the Loan proceeds to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of the Agent.

1.3 Borrowing Base and Maximum Advances. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that in no event whatsoever shall the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) be obligated to advance any amount or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans (including Swing Line Outstandings), plus the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to exceed the following amounts:

(a)

as to Facility A, the lesser of:

(i)

the Facility A Commitment Amount; or

(ii)

the aggregate of (the “Maximum Borrowing Base”):

ninety percent (90%) of Eligible Billed Government Accounts Receivable; plus

eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Billed Commercial Accounts Receivable; plus

the lesser of (i) sixty percent (60%) of Eligible Foreign Accounts Receivable, and (ii) Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00);

(b)

as to Facility B, the Facility B Commitment Amount;

(c)

as to Facility C, the Facility C Commitment Amount; and

(d)

as to the Swing Line Facility, the Swing Line Commitment Amount.

All determinations regarding whether any Receivable constitutes an Eligible Billed Government Account Receivable, Eligible Billed Commercial Account Receivable or Eligible Foreign Account Receivable shall be made by the Agent, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion.

If at any time the outstanding principal balance of Facility A (including the maximum aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus Swing Line Outstandings) shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility A Commitment Amount, and (ii) the Maximum Borrowing Base (such excess, in either case, being referred to herein as a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), then the Borrowers shall immediately make a principal payment in the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency.

1.4 Advances.

(a) Agreement to Advance and Readvance; Procedure. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, shall constitute an Event of Default, and subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Lenders (and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be) shall (i) advance and readvance the proceeds of Facility A and the proceeds of the Swing Line Facility (as applicable) from time to time in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) advance the proceeds of Facility B and Facility C to the Borrowers upon the Borrowers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements required by the Agent and Lenders in connection herewith. Requests for advances with respect to Facility A shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, and requests for advances with respect to the Swing Line Facility shall be in the form attached as Exhibit 1(a) hereto. Requests for advances of Loan proceeds with respect to Facility A and the Swing Line Facility may be made via facsimile on any given Business Day if the Borrowers provide the Agent, in advance, with a written list of the names of the specific officers authorized to request disbursements by facsimile. Upon request by the Agent, the Borrowers shall confirm, in an original writing, each facsimile request for advance made by any Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any advance with respect to Facility A after the Maturity Date; and (b) the Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance with respect to the Swing Line Facility after the Swing Line Termination Date.

(b) Interest Rate Election; Certain Advance Procedures and Limits. Amounts advanced in connection with the Loans shall bear interest either on a Base Rate basis or LIBOR basis, as more fully set forth in the Notes and in the exhibits attached to this Agreement, except that Swing Line Loans shall only be made available to the Borrowers on a Base Rate basis. Advances bearing interest on a Base Rate basis shall be in minimum and incremental amounts of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be made available on a same-day basis, if requested by 12:00 Noon, Washington, D.C. time, on any Business Day. Advances bearing interest on a LIBOR basis shall also be in minimum and incremental amounts of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), and shall be made available not less than three (3) Business Days, nor more than five (5) Business Days, after request therefor. The Borrowers’ right to request LIBOR based interest, as well as certain additional terms, conditions and requirements relating thereto, are set forth in the Notes and in the exhibits attached to this Agreement, and each Borrower expressly acknowledges and consents to such additional terms and provisions.

(c) Automatic Advances/Payments. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Agent, on any Business Day, to transfer funds from the Collateral Account or any other designated account of the Borrowers to pay down the Obligations and to make advances available to the Borrowers to cover shortages or overdrafts in the Collateral Account or such other designated account of the Borrowers. All such transfers are subject to the availability of Loan proceeds under Facility A (with respect to advances) and the availability of funds in the Collateral Account or such other designated account of the Borrowers (with respect to paydowns). The Lenders may, in their discretion, make such transfers, but shall have no liability for its failure to do so. Subject to the terms of any cash management agreement between the Borrowers and any Lender, the Borrowers may, at any time, terminate the authority granted by the Borrowers to the Agent herein upon not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent.

1.5 Additional Mandatory Payments; Reduction of Commitment. In addition to all other sums payable by the Borrowers pursuant to any of the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the

Borrowers shall also make mandatory payments on the Notes (applied first to amounts outstanding under Facility C, then to Facility B, then to Swing Line Outstandings (if any), and then to amounts outstanding under Facility A, as provided herein below), upon the occurrence of any Excess Cash Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no mandatory payment shall be due and payable unless the Net Cash arising from any Excess Cash Event occurring in any Fiscal Year, when aggregated with the Net Cash arising from all other Excess Cash Events occurring during such Fiscal Year, exceeds the Annual Excess Cash Limitation, in which event the amount of such mandatory payment shall be equal to the amount by which the Net Cash arising from such Excess Cash Event(s) exceeds the Annual Excess Cash Limitation. In the event any payment(s) made or required to be made by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be applied to Facility A (i.e., all amounts outstanding under Facility B, Facility C and Swing Line Outstandings (if any) shall have been paid and satisfied in full), the Facility A Commitment Amount shall be automatically (and without further documentation) reduced by an amount equal to such payment, unless such reduction shall have been waived in writing by the Agent.

1.6 Field Audits. The Agent has the right at any time and in its discretion to conduct field audits with respect to the Collateral and each Borrower’s Receivables, inventory, business and operations. All field audits shall be at the cost and expense of the Borrowers; it being understood and agreed that, in the absence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers’ maximum liability for field audit costs and expenses shall be limited to the reasonable costs and expenses of only two (2) field audits conducted during any twelve (12) month period (unless the Agent shall conduct a field audit pursuant to Section 1.10 of this Agreement in connection with the joinder of a new “Borrower” hereunder, in which event the Borrowers shall be liable for the costs and expenses of such field audit as well). Any and all field audits conducted following an Event of Default shall be at the Borrowers’ cost and expense, with the foregoing limitation on maximum costs and expense being inapplicable.

1.7 Certain Fees. In addition to principal, interest and other sums payable under the Notes, the Borrowers shall pay the following fees:

(a) Upfront Fee. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders pro-rata based on each Lender’s Percentage (herein referred to as the “benefit of the Lenders ratably”), an upfront fee in the aggregate amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).

(b) Commitment Fee. So long as any amounts remain outstanding in connection with Facility A, or the Lenders have any obligation to make any advance in connection therewith, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a quarterly commitment fee (the “Facility A Commitment Fee”), at a per annum rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%), calculated on the difference between (i) the Facility A Commitment Amount, and (ii) the sum of the average daily outstanding principal balance of Facility A and Swing Line Outstandings during the applicable three (3) month period, plus the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time during the applicable three (3) month period. The Facility A Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, shall be due for any three (3) month period during which the Lenders shall have any obligation in connection with the Facility, and shall be payable in arrears, commencing on December 31, 2005, and continuing on the last Business Day of every third (3^rd) calendar month thereafter for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, and on the date on which the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

(c) Agent Fee. On each Agent Fee Due Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for its own account, an agent fee (the “Agent Fee”), in a per annum amount equal to the sum of (i) Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), plus (ii) the product of (a) Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), multiplied by (b) the number of Lender parties to this Agreement (excluding the Lender then acting in the capacity as the Agent) as of the applicable Agent Fee Due Date; provided, however, that if the number of Lender parties to this Agreement shall increase at any time (a “Lender Joinder Date”) other than on an Agent Fee Due Date, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on the Lender Joinder Date, for the Agent’s own account and in addition to the Agent Fee paid or payable on the immediately preceding Agent Fee Due Date, an amount equal to the product of (I) Thirteen and 89/100 Dollars ($13.89), multiplied by (II) the actual number of days that will elapse between (but including) the Lender Joinder Date and the next Agent Fee Due Date.

(d) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay any and all Letter of Credit fees as and when such fees become due and payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Out-of-Pocket Fees and Expenses. The Borrowers shall be liable for and shall timely pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent, and of other special and local counsel and other experts, if any, engaged by the Agent) from time to time incurred by the Agent in connection with the administration of, preservation of rights in and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be liable for all of the Agent’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent) associated with any and all amendments, waivers and/or consents prepared, negotiated, executed, issued and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement.

To facilitate the administration of the Loan, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Primary Operating Company as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to execute, deliver and acknowledge on such Borrower’s behalf, each Request for Advance and Certification, Borrowing Base/Non-Default Certificate and all other Loan Documents or other materials provided or to be provided to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the Loan. This power-of-attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked, modified or amended without the prior written consent of the Agent. Upon request of the Agent, each Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Agent a Power of Attorney, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, confirming and restating the power-of-attorney granted herein.

(a) Unless waived in writing by the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Borrowers shall cause any present or future Affiliate of any Borrower in which such Borrower now or hereafter owns, directly or indirectly, an ownership interest of greater than fifty percent (50%) to execute and deliver to the Agent (i) within forty-five (45) days of the date of formation or acquisition (as applicable) of any domestic entity, and (ii) ninety (90) days of the date of formation or acquisition (as applicable) of any foreign entity (x) a Joinder Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 6 hereto (a “Joinder Agreement”), pursuant to which such Affiliate shall (A) join in and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (B) agree to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents; and (C) become a “Borrower” and thereafter be jointly and severally liable for the performance of all the past, present and future obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers hereunder and under the Loan Documents; and (y) such other documents, instruments and agreements as may be reasonably required by the Agent in connection therewith (including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel), in form and substance acceptable to the Agent and its counsel in all respects.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.1 Issuance. The Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge that from time to time the Borrowers may request that Citizens Bank issue or amend Letter(s) of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and any other requirements for letters of credit normally and customarily imposed by Citizens Bank, Citizens Bank agrees to issue such requested letters of credit, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no act, event or condition has occurred or exists which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. If any such Letter(s) of Credit are issued by Citizens Bank, each of the Lenders shall purchase from Citizens Bank a risk participation with respect to such Letter(s) of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of such Letter(s) of Credit. Citizens Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit which has an expiration date beyond the Maturity Date, unless the Borrowers shall have deposited with Citizens Bank, concurrent with the issuance of any such Letter of Credit, cash security therefor in an amount equal to the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Any request for a Letter of Credit shall be made by a Borrower submitting to the Agent an Application and Agreement for Letter of Credit or Amendment to Letter of Credit (each being herein referred to as a “Letter of Credit Application”) on Citizens Bank’s standard form, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the issuance or amendment of the Letter of Credit shall be required, which Letter of Credit Application shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of a Borrower, and be accompanied by such other supporting documentation and information as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Each Letter of Credit Application shall be deemed to govern the terms of issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that Letters of Credit shall not be issued for durations of longer than one (1) year. Any outstanding Letter of Credit may be renewed from time to time; provided that (i) at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof shall have been given by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders; and (ii) no Event of Default exists under the terms and provisions of the particular Letter of Credit or this Agreement, and no act, event or condition has occurred or exists which with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the terms and provisions of the particular Letter of Credit or this Agreement.

2.2 Amounts Advanced Pursuant to Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of any Letter(s) of Credit (i) any amounts drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be deemed advanced ratably under the Revolver Notes, shall bear interest and be payable in accordance with the terms of the Revolver Notes and shall be secured by the Collateral (in the same manner as all other sums advanced under the Revolver Notes); and (ii) each Lender shall purchase from Citizens Bank such risk participations in the Letter(s) of Credit as shall be necessary to cause each Lender to share the funding obligations with respect thereto ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Percentage. It is expressly understood and agreed that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to Citizens Bank in connection with any such Letter(s) of Credit shall be deemed to be “Obligations,” and the Agent shall not be required to release its security interest in the Collateral until (i) all Notes and all other sums due to the Lenders in connection with the Loan have been paid and satisfied in full, (ii) all Letters of Credit have been canceled or expired, and (iii) no Lender has any further obligation or responsibility to make additional Loan advances or issue additional Letters of Credit. Furthermore, in no event whatsoever shall Citizens Bank have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit which would cause the face amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of any or all Borrowers to exceed Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), in the aggregate, at any time.

2.3 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of: (i) to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a quarterly- fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) at the annual rate equal to the Additional Libor Interest Margin corresponding to the Borrower’s Leverage Ratio reported as of the immediately preceding quarter, as set forth on Exhibit 7 hereto, which shall be calculated (a) on the face amount of each Letter of Credit as of the date of issuance (or the anniversary or amendment date, as applicable), and (b) on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a three hundred sixty (360) day year; and (ii) to the Agent, customary issuance and administrative charges (the “Letter of Credit Administration Fee”). The Letter of Credit Fee shall be due and payable, in advance, on the date the Letter of Credit is issued, amended, extended or renewed and on the same day of every third (3rd) month thereafter during which such Letter of Credit shall remain issued or outstanding. The Letter of Credit Administration Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with the Agent’s issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of the particular Letter of Credit (as the case may be).

Each Borrower has only one jurisdiction of incorporation or organization (as the case may be). Each Borrower is duly qualified and authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its activities or the character of its properties makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such Borrower.

5.2 Authority; Noncontravention. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.2 hereto, the execution, delivery and performance of the obligations of each Borrower set forth in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, stockholder or member action (as applicable); (ii) do not require the consent of any governmental body, agency or authority; (iii) will not violate or result in (and with notice or the lapse of time will not violate or result in) the breach of any provision of any Borrower’s Articles/Certificate of Incorporation, Articles/Certificate of Organization, By-laws, Operating Agreement, Material Contracts existing as of the Restatement Date, or any order or regulation of any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal; and (iv) except as permitted by the terms and provisions of this Agreement, will not result in the creation of a lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature upon any of the properties or assets of any Borrower. When the Loan Documents are executed and delivered, they will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

5.3 Financial Position. The financial statements listed on Schedule 5.3 hereto, copies of which have been delivered to the Lenders (a) present fairly the financial condition of the Borrowers as of the date(s) thereof and the results of the Borrowers’ operations for the periods indicated therein, (b) were prepared in accordance with GAAP, (c) with respect to all historical data, are true and accurate in all material respects, (d) with respect to all projections, are reasonable, and (e) are not misleading in any material respect.

Each Borrower shall perform all obligations under all Material Contracts to which it is a party (including, without limitation, all obligations of such Borrower set forth in any Material Contract to which such Borrower is a party), including all exhibits and other attachments to such contracts, all modifications thereto and all documents and instruments delivered pursuant thereto, and will comply with all laws, rules and regulations governing the execution, delivery and performance thereof, except for such non-compliance which would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or properties of such Borrower.

6.7 Maintenance of Existence. Each Borrower will maintain its corporate or company existence (as applicable) in its state of incorporation or organization as of the Restatement Date, and will provide the Agent with evidence of the same from time to time upon the Agent’s request.

6.8 Maintenance of Certain Deposit Accounts with the Agent. Except for the Transitional Deposit Account and Permitted Foreign Bank Accounts, each Borrower will maintain its primary cash collection accounts with the Agent and all of its other primary bank accounts with a Lender; it being expressly understood and agreed, however, that Caliber shall have a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the Restatement Date) to close its existing primary bank accounts and re-establish such primary bank accounts with a Lender unless arrangements have been made in a manner acceptable to the Agent, in its sole but reasonably discretion, to promptly sweep available funds from such accounts to an account maintained with a Lender. Each Lender maintaining a primary bank account of any Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, has been granted a first priority security interest in and to such bank account pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the Lender’s possession of such bank account constitutes “control” for purposes of perfecting the Agent’s security interest in and to such bank account under the UCC or otherwise, and (c) such Lender’s rights and remedies with respect to such bank account (other than rights and remedies necessary to recoup normal and customary account fees and charges imposed from time to time for maintaining and administering such bank account) shall be, and at all times remain, subject and subordinate to the rights and remedies of the Agent granted pursuant to this Agreement or available pursuant to applicable law.

6.9 Maintenance of Management. The Borrowers will notify the Agent and the Lenders in writing of the change of any executive officer or director of the Parent Company or the Primary Operating Company within thirty (30) days of the date of any such change.

(a) Promptly upon the occurrence thereof, each Borrower will provide the Agent and the Lenders with written notice of any Event of Default, or any act, event, condition or occurrence that upon the giving of any required notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default. In addition, each Borrower will promptly advise the Agent and the Lenders in writing of any condition, act, event or occurrence

which comes to such Borrower’s attention that would or could reasonably be expected to prejudice the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights in connection with any Material Contract, any Collateral, this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the details of any pending or threatened suspension, debarment or other governmental action or proceeding, any pending or threatened litigation, and any other legal or administrative proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against any Borrower, including the entry of any judgment in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or lien (other than a Permitted Lien) against any Borrower, its assets or property. Additionally, the Borrowers agree to provide written notice to the Agent and Lenders within five (5) days of the date on which any obligation of a Borrower for the payment of borrowed money, whether now existing or hereafter created, incurred or arising, becomes or is declared to be due and payable prior to the expressed maturity thereof.

(b) If, at any time after the Restatement Date, any Borrower shall receive any letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document issued, given or delivered by the Government, any Prime Contractor or by any person or entity acting for or on behalf of the Government or such Prime Contractor with respect to, or in any manner related to any alleged default, fraud, dishonesty, malfeasance or other willful misconduct of a Borrower, such Borrower shall deliver a true, correct and complete copy of such letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or document to the Agent, the Agent’s counsel and each Lender within five (5) Business Days of such Borrower’s receipt thereof. Furthermore, if any Borrower shall issue, give or deliver to the Government any Prime Contractor or by any person or entity acting for or on behalf of the Government or such Prime Contractor, any letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document with respect to, or in any manner related to, or otherwise in response to any alleged default, fraud, dishonesty, malfeasance or other willful misconduct of a Borrower, such Borrower shall deliver a true, correct and complete copy of such letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document to the Agent, the Agent’s counsel and each Lender concurrent with the Borrower’s issuance or delivery thereof to the Government, such Prime Contractor or any person or entity acting for or on behalf of the Government or such Prime Contractor. If any letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document required to be delivered to the Agent, the Agent’s counsel and each Lender pursuant to this Section 6.10 contains any information deemed “classified” by the Government and/or the dissemination of any such information to the Agent, the Agent’s counsel and each Lender would result in the Borrowers violating any Applicable Law, then the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent, the Agent’s counsel and each Lender a summary of such letter, notice, subpoena, court order, pleading or other document containing a summary thereof, but including as much (but no more than) detail as can be included therein without violating any Applicable Law.

6.11 Security Perfection; Assignment of Claims Act; Payment of Costs. The Borrowers will execute and deliver and pay the costs of recording and filing financing statements, continuation statements, termination statements, assignments and other documents, as the Agent may from time to time deem necessary or appropriate for the perfection of any liens granted to the Agent or Lenders pursuant hereto or pursuant to any other Loan Document. On or before the date which is ninety (90) days from the date of any Government Contract hereafter entered into, extended or renewed by one or more Borrowers, such Borrower(s) shall execute all documents necessary or appropriate in order to comply with the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended, 31 U.S.C. Section 3727 and 41 U.S.C. Section 15 (the “Government Contract Assignments”) in connection with each such Government Contract; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver any Government Contract Assignment shall constitute a default, breach or violation of the Borrowers’ obligation(s) set forth in this Section 6.11, unless the Agent shall have made written demand upon the Borrowers to fully and faithfully comply with its obligation(s) with respect to Government Contract Assignments set forth in this Section 6.11 above, and such demand shall have been issued by the Agent only after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and (ii) no Government Contract Assignment shall be required for any Government Contract which (a) has a remaining value of less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), (b) has a remaining term of less than twelve (12) months (with no option to extend), or (c) has an Approved International Organization as the other party thereto. The Borrowers acknowledge that the Agent and the Lenders will be irreparably harmed if any Borrower fails or refuses to execute and deliver any Government Contract Assignment after the Agent’s demand therefor, as and when required pursuant to this Section 6.11, and that the Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law. In such event, the Borrowers agree that the Agent shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Agent and/or the Lenders, to injunctive or other equitable relief to compel the Borrowers’ full compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.11. All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of Government Contract Assignments shall be borne solely by the Borrowers. Additionally, the

Borrowers will pay any and all costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, as well as any and all taxes (other than the Lenders’ income and franchise taxes), which may be payable as a result of the execution of this Agreement or any agreement supplemental hereto, or as a result of the execution and/or delivery of any Note or other Loan Document.

6.12 Defense of Title to Collateral. The Borrowers will at all times defend the Lenders’, the Agent’s and Borrowers’ rights in the Collateral, subject to the Permitted Liens, against all persons and all claims and demands whatsoever, and will, upon request of the Agent (i) furnish such further assurances of title as may be required by the Agent, and (ii) do any other acts necessary to effectuate the purposes and provisions of this Agreement, or as required by law or otherwise in order to perfect, preserve, maintain or continue the interests of the Agent and/or Lenders in any Collateral.

(c) If any Borrower is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit, such Borrower shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Agent thereof and, following the Agent’s request, enter into a tri-party agreement with the Agent and the issuer and/or confirmation bank with respect to all Letter of Credit Rights in connection with such letter of credit, assigning such Letter of Credit Rights to the Agent and directing all payments thereunder to an account designated by the Agent, which tri-party agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

property to which the Collateral relates. The Borrowers agree to furnish any such information to the Agent promptly upon request. The Borrowers also ratify their authorization for the Agent to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto, if filed prior to the Restatement Date.

(f) The Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the same is acquired by any Borrower, notify the Agent of any Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the UCC) acquired by a Borrower and unless otherwise consented to by the Agent, such Borrower shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement, granting to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to November 22, 2005, all books and records of Caliber shall be moved to one of the Borrowers’ current primary business location(s) listed on Schedule 5.11 to this Agreement.

6.18 Substitute Notes. Upon request of the Agent, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent substitute promissory notes, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in all respects, payable to the order of such person or entity as may be designated by the Agent; it being understood and agreed, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding promissory notes shall not exceed the Commitment Amount (plus the Swing Line Commitment Amount) as of the date such substitute note(s) are issued.

ARTICLE 8

COLLATERAL ACCOUNT

Except for any Borrower utilizing a Permitted Foreign Bank Account, the Borrowers will deposit or cause to be deposited into a collateral account (the “Collateral Account”) designated by the Agent, all checks, drafts, cash and other remittances received by the Borrowers, and shall deposit such items for credit to the Collateral Account within two (2) Business Days of the receipt thereof and in precisely the form received. Pending such deposit, the Borrowers will not commingle any such items of payment with any of their other funds or property, but will hold them separate and apart. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall have the right to maintain deposit account(s) (the “Transitional Deposit Account”) with each of Sun Trust Bank, N.A. and United Bank in the name of one or more of the Caliber Entities and having an account number or numbers of 0000202969940 and 001002-6509, respectively; provided that the Transitional Deposit Account shall be (i) used solely for the deposit/receipt of cash, checks and other remittances owing to the Borrowers from time to time; (ii) at all times, free and clear of any and all liens claims and encumbrances (other than the security interest of the Agent granted hereby and the rights and remedies of Sun Trust Bank, N.A. and United Bank, but only to the extent that the exercise of such rights and remedies by Sun Trust Bank, N.A. or United Bank can be based solely upon claims for reimbursement of normal and customary fees and charges for account maintenance and account administration), and (iii) permanently closed on or before September 30, 2006. The Borrowers agree to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause Sun Trust Bank, N.A. and United Bank to enter into a wire transfer agreement with respect to the Transitional Deposit Account, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, on or before November 22, 2005.

The Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that the Collateral Account, the Transitional Deposit Account and the Permitted Foreign Bank Accounts shall secure the Obligations and hereby grants, assigns and transfers to or at the direction of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders ratably, a continuing security interest in all of the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account, the Transitional Deposit Account and the Permitted Foreign Bank Accounts, whenever created or established. Subject to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent may apply funds in the Collateral Account, the Transitional Deposit Account and/or the Permitted Foreign Bank Accounts to any of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any principal, interest or other payment(s) not made when due, whether arising under this Loan Agreement and/or any other Loan Document, or any other Obligation of the Borrowers, without regard to the origin of the deposits in the account, the beneficial ownership of the funds therein or whether such Obligations are owed jointly with another or severally; the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of the Agent. The Agent’s right to deduct sums due under the Loan Documents from the Borrowers’ account(s) shall not relieve the Borrowers from their obligation to make all payments required by the Loan Documents as and when required by the Loan Documents, and the Agent shall not have any obligation to make any such deductions or any liability whatsoever for any failure to do so.

ARTICLE 9

(m) if (i) there shall be a default under any Material Contract which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the properties, business, profit or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or the ability of any Borrower to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document; or (ii) a cure notice issued under any Material Contract shall remain uncured beyond (x) the expiration of the time period available to the Borrower pursuant to such Material Contract and/or such cure notice (as the case may be), to cure the noticed default, or (y) the date on which the other contracting party is entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under such Material Contract as a consequence of such default; or

(n) if (i) any Borrower is debarred or suspended from contracting with any part of the Government; (ii) a notice of debarment or suspension shall have been issued to any Borrower; or (iii) a notice of termination for default or the actual termination for default of any federal Government Contract shall have been issued to or received by any Borrower; or (iv) a Government investigation or inquiry relating to any Borrower and involving fraud, deception, dishonesty, willful misconduct or any allegation thereof shall have been commenced in connection with any federal Government Contract or any Borrower’s activities; or

(p) if the Required Lenders believe that a material adverse change shall have occurred in the business, assets, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers, in the aggregate.

9.2 Remedies. Without limiting any right or remedy of the Agent and/or the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent, acting on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise any or all of the following remedies:

(a) Withhold disbursement of all or any part of the Loan proceeds;

(b) Terminate the Lenders’ obligation to make further disbursements of the Loan proceeds;

(c) Declare all principal, interest and other sums owing on the Obligations to be immediately due and payable without demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default, presentment for payment or further notice of any kind;

(d) Without notice, redirect any and all of the Borrowers’ deposits to the Collateral Account or any other account under the Agent’s exclusive control;

(e) Without notice, offset and apply against all or any part of the Obligations then owing by any Borrower to any Lender, any and all money, credits, stocks, bonds or other securities or property of any Borrower of any kind or nature whatsoever on deposit with, held by or in the possession of any Lender in any capacity whatsoever, including, without limitation, any deposits with any Lender or any of its Affiliates, to the credit of or for the account of any Borrower. The Agent and Lenders are authorized at any time to charge the Obligations against any Borrower’s account(s), without regard to the origin of deposits to the account or beneficial ownership of the funds. Any and all amounts obtained by the Agent or any Lender pursuant to this subsection (e) shall be shared by all of the Lenders ratably, in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage; it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that each Lender, as well as the Agent, shall be entitled to exercise the rights of set-off provided in this subsection (e) of this Section 9.2;

(f) Exercise all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and/or any other applicable law(s), including, without limitation, the right to (i) require any Borrower to assemble the Collateral (to the extent that it is movable) and make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent, and (ii) enter upon any Borrower’s premises, peaceably by the Agent’s own means or with legal process, and take possession of, render unusable or dispose of the Collateral on such premises; each Borrower hereby agreeing not to resist or interfere with any such action. The Agent agrees to give the Borrowers written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or any part thereof, and the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, and such notice will be mailed, postage prepaid, to the principal place of business of the Borrowers, at least ten (10) days before the time of any such sale or disposition. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints the Agent and its successors and assigns to (x) sell the Collateral, and (y) declare that each Borrower assents to the passage of a decree by a court of proper jurisdiction for the sale of the Collateral. Any such sale pursuant to (x) or (y) above is to be made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws and rules of procedure of the Commonwealth of Virginia or other applicable law; and/or

(g) Proceed to enforce such other and additional rights and remedies as the Agent and/or Lenders may have hereunder and/or under any of the other Loan Documents, or as may be provided by applicable law.

It is expressly understood and agreed that the Lenders and/or the Agent may exercise their respective rights under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document without exercising the rights or affecting the security afforded by any other Loan Document, and it is further understood and agreed that the Agent may (at the direction of the Required Lenders) proceed against all or any portion of the Collateral in such order and at such times as the Agent, in its sole discretion, sees fit; and each Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, all benefit of valuation, appraisement, marshaling of assets and all exemptions under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and/or any other state, district or territory of the United States. Notwithstanding the

foregoing delegation of authority by the Lenders to the Agent, it is agreed that at any time there are two (2) or fewer Lender parties to this Agreement, any Lender may request the Agent to commence enforcement action against the Borrowers and/or Collateral upon an Event of Default. In this event, if the Agent fails or refuses to take enforcement action upon the request of a Lender, such Lender may itself commence appropriate enforcement action. Furthermore, if any Borrower shall default in the performance when due of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Agent, without notice to or demand upon the Borrowers (and without any grace or cure period) and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any default hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, may (but shall be under no obligation to) perform the same for each Borrower’s account, and any monies expended in so doing shall be chargeable to the Borrowers with interest, at the highest rate of interest payable under Notes, plus two percent (2%) per annum, and added to the indebtedness secured by the Collateral.

All sums paid or advanced by the Agent (or any Lender to the extent incurred pursuant to this Agreement) in connection with the foregoing or otherwise in connection with the Loan, and all court costs and expenses of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (and fees and expenses resulting from the taking, holding or disposition of the Collateral) incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Borrowers upon demand and shall become a part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral. The Borrowers agree to bear the expense of each lien search, property and judgment report or other form of Collateral ownership investigation as the Agent, in its discretion, shall deem necessary or desirable to assure or further assure to the Lenders and/or the Agent their respective interests in the Collateral.

ARTICLE 10

THE AGENT; AGENCY

10.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby affirms its irrevocable appointment of Citizens Bank to act as the Agent for each such Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and affirms its irrevocable authorization given to the Agent to take such action, and exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, or are reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation, executing documents on behalf of the Lenders, as Agent.

Each Lender agrees that its decision to consent to or reject any request by the Agent for permission to declare an Event of Default, provide formal notice thereof to any Borrower and/or exercise any rights or remedies arising by virtue of such default, shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Lender has received all relevant information with respect to such request (to the extent such information shall be readily available), but in all events within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of such information; it being understood and agreed that, unless otherwise provided herein, the Agent shall exercise any and all rights and responsibilities on behalf of the Lenders in connection with an Event of Default.

10.5 Administration by the Agent.

(a) The Agent may rely upon any notice or other communication of any nature (written or oral, including telephone conversations, whether or not such notice or other communication is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the proper party or parties, and the Agent shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any person giving such notice or other communication.

(b) The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including in-house counsel for the Agent), independent public accountants and any other experts selected by the Agent from time to time, and the Agent shall not be liable for any action reasonably taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(c) The Agent may conclusively rely upon the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Agent in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Agent may fail or refuse to take any action unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction from time to time against any and all amounts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Agent for any portion of such amounts, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) The Agent may perform any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(f) The Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of regularly scheduled principal or interest), unless the Agent has received from a Lender or a Borrower a written notice describing the Event of Default.

(g) The Agent shall provide three (3) Business Days prior notice to the Lenders of any field audit scheduled to be performed by the Agent pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement. The Lenders shall be entitled to (i) receive copies of field audits performed by the Agent, and (ii) accompany the Agent to any field audit, provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, limit the number of Lender representatives attending any such field audit.

10.6 Lenders Not Relying on the Agent or Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges as follows:

(a) Neither the Agent nor any other Lender has made any representations or warranties to it, and no act taken hereafter by the Agent or any other Lender shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or such other Lender to it;

(b) It has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

Each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and the Agent’s directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, and without limitation of the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agent or such other person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Agent or such other person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such other person as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any transaction from time to time contemplated hereby or thereby, or any transaction financed in whole or in part or directly or indirectly with the proceeds of the Loan; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Agent or such other person for any portion of such amounts, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person seeking indemnity, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity; Agent’s Commitment.

(a) With respect to its commitment and the Obligations owing to it, Citizens Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and each other Loan Document as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it was not the Agent. The terms “Lender,” “holders of Notes” and like terms shall include Citizens Bank in its individual capacity. Citizens Bank and its Affiliates may, without liability to account for, make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire debt or equity interests in, act as trustee under indentures of and engage in any other business with any Borrower and any Affiliate of any Borrower, as though Citizens Bank was not the Agent hereunder.

(b) The Agent hereby agrees that it shall at all times maintain, at a minimum, the lesser of (the “Agent’s Commitment”):

(i) a Ten Million and No/100 Dollar ($10,000,000.00) interest in the aggregate Commitment Amount; or

(ii) a Percentage of the Commitment Amount that is at least equal to twenty-five percent (25%).

In the event the Agent fails to maintain the Agent’s Commitment, the Agent agrees to resign as the Agent hereunder, if requested by the Borrowers and/or the Lenders, pursuant to Section 10.10 of this Agreement; it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Borrowers shall be third party beneficiaries of the Agent’s Commitment requirement set forth in this Section 10.8(b).

10.9 Holders of Notes. Without limiting the requirements of Section 12.11 of this Agreement, the Agent may deem and treat any Lender which is the payee of a Note as the owner and holder of such Note for all purposes hereof unless and until written notice evidencing such transfer shall have been filed with the Agent. Any authority, direction or consent of any person who at the time of giving such authority, direction or consent was a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on each present and subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of any Note or Notes payable to such Lender or issued in exchange therefor.

10.10 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrowers, subject to appointment of a successor Agent (and such appointees acceptance of appointment) as below provided in this Section 10.10. Additionally, the Agent may be removed for cause by all of the Lenders (other than the Agent, if the Agent is then a Lender), or in the absence of an Event of Default, the Borrowers may request the Agent’s resignation pursuant to Section 10.8(b) hereof, if removal or resignation, as applicable, is requested in writing (which wording must specifically identify the “cause” for removal), and ten (10) days’ prior written notice of removal or resignation is provided to the Agent and Borrowers (or Lenders, if applicable). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Agent shall, on behalf of the Lenders, immediately appoint, as its successor, another Lender; provided that such Lender is a commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($500,000,000.00). In such event, the Agent’s resignation or removal shall not be effective until the successor Agent shall have accepted its appointment. Upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of its appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the properties, rights, powers, privileges and duties of the former Agent, without further act, deed or conveyance. Upon the effective date of resignation or removal of the retiring Agent and payment of all amounts then due and payable by the Agent to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, such Agent shall be discharged from its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If for any reason, at any time, there is no Agent hereunder, then during such period, the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the Agent’s rights and perform its duties hereunder, except that (i) all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to the Agent shall be given to each Lender, and (ii) all payments to be made to the Agent shall be made directly to the Borrowers or the Lender for whose account such payment is made.

10.11 Additional Agents. If the Agent shall from time to time deem it necessary or advisable to engage other agents for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or in the interests of the Lenders, then the Agent and Borrowers shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement and all other instruments and agreements necessary or advisable, in the opinion of the Agent, to constitute another commercial bank or trust company, or one or more other persons approved by the Agent, to act as co-Agent or a separate agent with respect to any part of the Collateral, with such powers as may be provided in such supplemental agreement, and with the power to vest in such bank, trust company or other person (as such co-Agent or separate agent, as the case may be), any properties, rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.12 Calculations. The Agent shall not be liable for any calculation, apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith. If such calculation, 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 Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled, with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, or, if the amount due was not paid by any Borrower, to recover such amount from such Borrower (subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement), with interest thereon at the rate provided in the applicable Note.

10.13 Funding by the Agent.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent alone shall be entitled to make all advances in connection with the Loan and shall receive all payments and other receipts relating to the Loan; it being understood, however, that the Agent has reserved the right not to advance any amounts to the Borrowers which the Agent has not received from the Lenders. The Agent will notify each Lender of the date and amount of any requested advance, and if such notification is received by 1:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on any

given Business Day, the Lenders shall provide the required funds to the Agent no later than the close of business on such Business Day. Once per week, or within such shorter time frame as may be requested by the Agent or the Swing Line Lender, the Agent and each Lender shall pay to each other such amounts (the “Equalization Payments”) as may be necessary to cause each Lender to own its applicable Percentage of the Loan and otherwise implement the terms and provisions of this Agreement; it being understood that each Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on amounts advanced by it only from the date of such Lender’s advance of funds. The obligation of the Agent and each Lender to make Equalization Payments shall not be affected by a bankruptcy filing by any Borrower, the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other act, occurrence or event whatsoever, whether the same occurs, before, on or after the date on which an Equalization Payment is required to be made. All Equalization Payments shall be made by 5:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on the date such payment is required, provided that notice of such Equalization Payment shall have been given to the party obligated to make such payment by 1:00 p.m. Washington, D.C. time; otherwise such Equalization Payment shall be made on the next Business Day.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender no later than the close of business on the Business Day before the Business Day on which an advance requested by the Borrowers is to be made, that such Lender will not make its ratable share of such advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make its ratable share of the advance, and in reliance upon such assumption the Agent may (but in no circumstances shall be required to) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment to the Agent when required, such Lender shall pay such amount on demand (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount on demand, the Borrowers shall arrange for the repayment of such amount to the Agent), together with interest for the Agent’s own account for each day from and including the date of the Agent’s payment, to and including the date of repayment to the Agent (before and after judgment). Interest (a) if paid by such Lender (i) for each day from and including the date of the Agent’s payment to and including the second Business Day thereafter, shall accrue at the Federal Funds Rate for such day, and (ii) for each day thereafter, shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum payable under the Notes; and (b) if paid by the Borrowers, shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum payable under the Notes. All payments to the Agent under this Section shall be made to the Agent at its office set forth in the preamble of this Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Agent), in dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, withholding, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature.

(c) All borrowings under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Percentages (except to the extent advanced (i) as a Swing Line Loan, or (ii) by the Agent on behalf of any Lender as provided in subsection (a) or (b) above). It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to meet its obligation to make advances hereunder, and that each Lender shall be obligated to make advances required to be made by it hereunder regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its advances hereunder.

(d) Each payment and prepayment received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be distributed first to the Swing Line Lender for application to any Swing Line Outstandings, and then to each Lender entitled to share in such payment, ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Percentage. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(e) of this Agreement, any Lender who has failed to fund its Percentage of any advance under the Loan shall not be entitled to share in any such payment(s) until such time as the funding deficiency caused thereby, together with interest thereon (as provided in subsection (b) above), has been paid to the Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Payments from the Agent to the Lenders shall be made by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Agent by the Lenders from time to time. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full on such date and the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may 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 made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent upon its demand therefor such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the overnight 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.

(e) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of such Lender’s Percentage of payments, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender(s) such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lender(s); provided, however, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from the other Lender(s) shall be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment, to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 10.13(e), to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise all of its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

10.14 Benefit of Article. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article 10, no Borrower shall have any rights under any of the provisions of this Article 10; it being understood that the provisions of this Article 10 are not in limitation of any right, remedy, power, duty, obligation or liability which the Agent would have to or against any Borrower.

ARTICLE 11

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND

OBLIGATIONS REGARDING THE COLLATERAL

11.1 Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby reaffirms its irrevocable appointment of the Agent, as its agent and attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, having full power and authority, in its own name, in the name of any Lender(s), in the name of any Borrower or otherwise (but at the cost and expense of the Borrowers and without notice to any Borrower), to (i) upon an Event of Default, notify Account Debtors obligated on any of the Receivables to make payments thereon directly to the lockbox referenced in Section 11.2 of this Agreement, and to take control of the cash and non-cash proceeds of any such Receivables, which right the Agent may exercise at any time whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or was theretofore making collections thereon; (ii) upon an Event of Default, compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral constituting Receivables or deal with any of the Collateral as the Agent may deem advisable; (iii) upon an Event of Default, release its interest in, make exchanges or substitutions for and/or surrender, all or any part of any Borrower’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; (iv) upon an Event of Default, remove from any Borrower’s place(s) of business all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral, or without cost or expense to the Agent, make such use of any Borrower’s place(s) of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and/or collect the Collateral; (v) upon an Event of Default, repair, alter or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Account Debtor; (vi) demand, collect receipt for and upon an Event of Default, and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of all or any part of the Collateral; (vii) upon an Event of Default, institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, all or any part of the Collateral; (viii) upon an Event of Default, settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims with respect to all or any part of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought with respect thereto; and (ix) upon an Event of Default, receive and open all mail addressed to any Borrower (other than mail sent to the Lockbox which may be received and opened in the ordinary course of Lockbox procedures irrespective of whether any Event of Default has occurred), and if an Event of Default exists hereunder, notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to any Borrower to such address as the Agent may designate; it being understood that the rights granted to the Agent in this clause (ix), which are operative on the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall not in any way limit or impair the other rights provided to the Agent and/or Lenders in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, their rights with respect to the Collateral Account and the below-referenced lockbox. Furthermore, each Borrower hereby reaffirms its irrevocable appointment of the Agent, as its agent and attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, having full power and authority, in its own name, in the name of any Lender(s), in the name of any Borrower or otherwise (but at the cost and expense of the Borrowers and without notice to any Borrower) and regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or any act, event or condition which with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred, to (a)

file financing statements and continuation statements covering the Collateral and execute the same on behalf of any Borrower; (b) charge against any banking account of any Borrower any item of payment credited to any Borrower’s account which is dishonored by the drawee or maker thereof; and/or (iii) endorse the name of any Borrower upon any items of payment relating to the Collateral or upon any proof of claim in bankruptcy against any Account Debtor.

11.2 Lockbox. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to receive and collect any amount or amounts due or to become due on account of any Receivables and, at its discretion, to apply the same to the repayment of the Notes, and each Borrower represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that, except where a Permitted Foreign Bank Account is being used, it has established and shall continually maintain on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Agent in all respects, one or more lockboxes (and, if required by the Agent, one or more blocked accounts) for the collection of Receivables. Except as otherwise may be approved by the Agent in writing, any checks or other remittances received by any Borrower in payment of the Receivables shall be held in trust by each Borrower for the Agent and Lenders. Caliber shall, within forty-five (45) days after the Restatement Date (or within such longer period as may be reasonably required by Caliber), direct all of its customers (other than customers making payments to Caliber utilizing a Permitted Foreign Bank Account and certain other customers as may be approved by the Agent) to make payments directly to the lockbox or account described below or any other lockbox or account designated by the Agent from time to time for the collection of Caliber Receivables, and/or include on all of its invoices, a direction to its customer to make all payments directly to such lockbox or account.

11.3 Other Agreements. Except as may otherwise be expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and without limiting any other restrictions or provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower will (i) on demand, subject to any confidentiality and secrecy requirements imposed by any Government agency, make available in form reasonably acceptable to the Agent, shipping documents and delivery receipts evidencing the shipment of goods which gave rise to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account, contract right or chattel paper, completion certificates or other proof of the satisfactory performance of services which gave rise to the sale or lease of inventory or of an account, contract right or chattel paper, and each Borrower’s copy of any written contract or order from which a sale or lease of inventory, an account, contract right or chattel paper arose; and (ii) when requested, advise the Agent when an Account Debtor returns or refuses to retain any goods, the sale or lease of which gave rise to an account, contract right or chattel paper, and of any delay in delivery or performance, or claims made in regard to any sale or lease of inventory, account, contract right or chattel paper. Upon reasonable notice, all such records will be available for examination by authorized agents of the Agent.

It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that the Agent shall not be required or obligated in any manner to make any inquiries as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or to present or file any claims or take any other action to collect or enforce a payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or the Lenders may be entitled hereunder at any time or times.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Agent or Lenders provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by

statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agent or any Lender of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Agent or any such Lender of any or all such other rights, powers or remedies.

12.2 Waiver. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. No failure or delay by the Agent to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of such term, condition, covenant or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude the Agent or any Lender from exercising any such right, power or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any of the Obligations, neither the Lenders nor the Agent shall be deemed to have waived either the right to require prompt payment when due of all other Obligations, or the right to declare a default for failure to make payment of any such other Obligations.

12.3 Notices. Notices to either party shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by first-class mail or nationally-recognized overnight delivery service addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below or otherwise designated in writing:

12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior agreements and understandings; it being expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement is a complete amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement, the terms and conditions of which have been superseded and replaced in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement is given as a continuation, modification and extension of the Existing Loan Agreement and shall not constitute a novation of the Existing Loan Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect for so long as the Borrowers shall be indebted hereunder or under the Notes, and thereafter until the Lenders shall have actually received written notice of the termination hereof from the Borrowers and all Obligations incurred or contracted before receipt of such notice shall have been fully paid.

12.5 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement provides for the extension of financial accommodations by each Lender, in its capacity as lender, to the Borrowers, in their capacity as borrowers, and for the payment of interest and repayment of the Obligations by the Borrowers. Certain provisions herein, such as those relating to compliance with the financial covenants, delivery to the Agent and Lenders of financial statements, and compliance with other affirmative and negative covenants are for the benefit of the Agent and Lenders to protect the Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in assuring repayment of the Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as permitting or obligating the Lenders or Agent to act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to any Borrower, as permitting or obligating the Lenders or Agent to control any Borrower or to conduct any Borrower’s operations, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of any Lender or the Agent to any Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties other than as explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choosing in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and to obtain the advice of such counsel with respect to all matters contained herein, including, without limitation, the provision in this Agreement for waiver of trial by jury. Each Borrower further acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent decision to request the Obligations and execute and deliver this Agreement.

12.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Borrower hereby (a) covenants and agrees not to elect a trial by jury of any issue triable by a jury, and (b) waives any right to trial by jury fully to the extent that any such right shall now or hereafter exist. This waiver of right to trial by jury is separately given by each Borrower, knowingly and voluntarily, and this waiver is intended to encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a jury trial would otherwise accrue. The Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized and requested to submit this Agreement to any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter and the parties hereto, so as to serve as conclusive evidence of each Borrower’s herein contained waiver of the right to jury trial. Further, each Borrower hereby certifies that no representative or agent of the Agent or any Lender (including the Agent’s counsel) has represented, expressly or otherwise, to the undersigned that the Agent or Lenders will not seek to enforce this provision waiving the right to a trial by jury.

12.7 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. Any judicial proceeding brought against any Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid court, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered by such court in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower irrevocably designates and appoints the General Counsel of the Primary Operating Company, whose address is c/o ICF Consulting Group, Inc., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as its agent to receive on its behalf service of all process in any such proceeding in any court in the Commonwealth of Virginia, such service being hereby acknowledged by each Borrower to be effective and binding on it in every respect. A copy of any such process so served shall be mailed by registered or certified mail to the Borrowers at the address to which notices are to be addressed in accordance with this Agreement, except that any failure to mail such copy shall not affect the validity of service of process. The Borrowers shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process pursuant to this provision. If any Borrower fails to appoint such an agent, or if such agent refuses to accept service, such Borrower hereby agrees that service upon it by mail shall constitute sufficient notice. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Agent or the Lenders to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

12.8 Changes in Capital Requirements. If after the date of this Agreement the Agent shall determine that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lenders with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any authority, central bank or comparable agency, which adoption, change or compliance is applicable to all banks generally or to banks similar in size, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lenders’ capital as a consequence of the Lenders’ obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lenders could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Agent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, after sixty (60) days prior notice given by the Agent to the Borrowers, the interest rate on the Notes shall be increased to a rate which shall retain the Lenders’ original rate of return on the Lenders’ capital.

12.9 [Intentionally Omitted].

12.10 Modification and Waiver. Subject to Section 10.3 hereof, neither this Agreement nor any term, condition, covenant or agreement hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but that may be accomplished only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

12.11 Transferability.

(a) No Borrower shall assign any of its rights, interests or Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) No Lender shall assign its interests under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any person or entity, without the prior written consent of both Citizens Bank and the Borrowers; provided that (i) the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required for assignments from one Lender to another Lender or at any time during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (ii) the Borrowers’ consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to obtaining such consent (as required), any Lender may assign its interest, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business, at any time, or sell participations in some but not all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that (a) the purchaser of any such interest is a commercial bank (a “Participating Lender”) or Eligible Assignee, in either case whose total assets exceed Five Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($500,000,000.00); (b) at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such sale or assignment, which notice must identify the name, address and contact person of the Participating Lender and/or Eligible Assignee, shall have been issued by such transferring Lender to the Agent and the Borrowers; (c) the dollar equivalent of the Percentage of the transferring Lender being assigned equals or exceeds Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (d) the Agent shall have received a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, in the form attached as Exhibit 8 hereto; and (e) if the proposed assignee of the transferring Lender is not an Affiliate of the transferring Lender, an assignment fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) shall have been paid to the Agent to reimburse the Agent for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the assignment.

12.12 Governing Law; Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to conflict of laws principles) and be binding upon each Borrower and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

12.13 Gender; Number. As used herein, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural the singular and the use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include all genders, as the context may require.

12.14 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all obligations and liabilities hereunder.

12.15 Materiality. Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, determinations regarding the materiality of any act, event, condition or circumstance shall be in the reasonable judgment of the Agent.

12.16 Reliance on the Agent. Each Borrower shall be entitled to assume that any and all consents, approvals or notices issued or granted by the Agent pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement were, to the extent necessary, authorized by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable.

12.17 The Patriot Act. The Agent and Lenders hereby notify the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow the Agent and the Lenders to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.

FIRST MODIFICATION TO AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS LOAN AND SECURITY

AGREEMENT AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS

THIS FIRST MODIFICATION TO AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (this “Modification”), dated as of March 14, 2006, is made by and among (i) CITIZENS BANK OF PENNSYLVANIA, a Pennsylvania state chartered bank (“Citizens Bank”), acting in its capacity as the agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”), having offices at 852 ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇; (ii) CITIZENS BANK, acting in its capacity as a Lender, and each other “Lender” party to the hereinafter defined Loan Agreement (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”); and (iii) ICF CONSULTING GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ICFG”), ICF CONSULTING GROUP HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ICF Holdings”), and each other “Borrower” party to the Loan Agreement (together with ICFG and ICF Holdings, each, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), each having offices at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of a certain Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 5, 2005 (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders, the Borrowers obtained loans and certain other financial accommodations (collectively, the “Loan”) from the Lenders in the aggregate maximum principal amount of Seventy-five Million and No/100 Dollars ($75,000,000.00); and

WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by the Notes and secured by, among other things, the collateral described in the Loan Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers anticipate a temporary need for additional capital and have requested that, for a limited period of time, the Agent and Lenders make overadvances available to the Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Agent and Lenders have agreed to grant the Borrowers’ request, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders have also agreed to (i) revise the Leverage Ratio covenant of the Borrowers set forth in Section 6.15(b) of the Loan Agreement, (ii) revise the Maximum Total Senior Debt Covenant of the Borrowers set forth in Section 6.15(e) of the Loan Agreement, and (iii) modify the pricing for (i.e., the interest rate charged on) amounts advanced under Facility A set forth on Exhibit 7 attached to the Loan Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders desire to enter into this Modification to memorialize the agreements and understanding of the parties with respect to the foregoing matters, as hereinafter provided.

NOW THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein.

2. Temporary Allowance for Overadvances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.3 of the Loan Agreement, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing which with notice or the lapse of time, or both shall constitute an Event of Default, and subject to satisfaction of all other

terms and conditions for advances set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may obtain over-advances of the proceeds of Facility A as follows: (i) from the date hereof through and including June 30, 2006, up to the lesser of (a) the Facility A Commitment Amount and (b) the Maximum Borrowing Base plus Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00); and (ii) from July 1, 2006 through and including August 31, 2006, up to the lesser of (a) the Facility A Commitment Amount and (b) the Maximum Borrowing Base plus Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00). No over-advance shall be permitted after August 31, 2006, and any and all over-advances in excess of the limits set forth in this paragraph (including, without limitation, any over-advance existing or arising after August 31, 2006) shall constitute a Borrowing Base Deficiency, and the Borrowers shall immediately make a principal payment in the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency.

3. Financial Covenant Amendments.

(a) Maximum Leverage Ratio. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.15(b) of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers will maintain a Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.00 to 1.00 for the Fiscal Quarters ending March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 (in lieu of the requirement for a Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 for such periods, as set forth in Section 6.15(b) of the Loan Agreement). For all applicable measurement periods thereafter, the Borrowers will maintain the Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.15(b) of the Loan Agreement (i.e., not more than 3.50 to 1.00).

(b) Maximum Total Senior Debt Covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.15(e) of the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers will not suffer or permit Total Senior Debt to exceed an amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the aggregate amount of all of the Borrowers’ Receivables (including all billed and unbilled Receivables) for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2006 (in lieu of the requirement for Total Senior Debt to be less than an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate amount of all of the Borrowers’ Receivables (including all billed and unbilled Receivables)). For all measurement periods thereafter, the Borrowers will not suffer or permit Total Senior Debt to exceed an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate amount of all of the Borrowers’ Receivables (including all billed and unbilled Receivables).

4. Modification to Covenant Compliance Certificate and Pricing Grid. Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 7 attached to the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety, and Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 7 attached to this Modification substituted in lieu thereof.

5. Interest Rate. From and after the date of this Modification (and until the interest rate charged on amounts outstanding under the Notes would change pursuant to the Notes on or after June 1, 2006), the interest rates for amounts outstanding under the Notes will be fixed at Level IV set forth on the Pricing Grid (attached as Exhibit 7 hereto).

6. Miscellaneous.

(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Modification (and as a condition precedent to its effectiveness), the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, in immediately available funds: (i) a commitment/waiver fee, in the amount of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and (ii) all of the Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses associated with this Modification and the transactions referenced herein or contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the Agent’s reasonable legal fees and expenses.

(b) Each Borrower hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof (a) there are no set-offs or defenses against and no defaults under any of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) no act, event or condition has occurred which, with notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under any of the Notes, the Loan

Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Agreement are true and correct as of the date hereof (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date), unless the Borrowers are unable to remake and redate any such representation or warranty, in which case the Borrowers have previously disclosed the same to the Agent and the Lenders in writing, and such inability does not constitute or give rise to an Event of Default; and (d) all schedules attached to the Loan Agreement with respect to any particular representation and warranty of the Borrowers set forth in the Loan Agreement (as modified) remain true, accurate and complete, as updated in writing to the Agent as of the date of this Modification.

(c) The Borrowers, and their respective representatives, successors and assigns, hereby jointly and severally, knowingly and voluntarily RELEASE, DISCHARGE, and FOREVER WAIVE and RELINQUISH any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs, counterclaims, actions, and causes of action of whatsoever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which they have, may have, or might have or may assert now or in the future against the Agent and/or the Lenders directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with any transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act, or occurrence of any sort or type, in each case related to, arising from or in connection with the Loan, whether known or unknown, and which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the date hereof (including, without limitation, any claim, demand, obligation, liability, defense, counterclaim, action or cause of action relating to or arising from the grant by the Borrowers to the Agent and/or the Lenders of a security interest in or encumbrance on collateral that is, was or may be subject to, or an agreement by which the Borrowers are bound and which contains, a prohibition on further mortgaging or encumbering the same). The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution of this Modification by the Agent and the Lenders shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or an admission by the Agent and/or the Lenders of the existence of any such claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any liability may be asserted.

(d) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Modification is intended to or shall otherwise act to nullify, discharge, or release any obligation incurred in connection with the Notes, the Loan Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or to waive or release any collateral given by any Borrower to secure the Notes, nor shall this Modification be deemed or considered to operate as a novation of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Except to the extent of any express conflict with this Modification or except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Modification, all of the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and the same are hereby expressly approved, ratified and confirmed. In the event of any express conflict between the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents and this Modification, this Modification shall be controlling and the terms and conditions of such other documents shall be deemed to be amended to conform with this Modification.

(e) If any term, condition, or any part thereof, of this Modification, the Loan Agreement or of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be found or held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remainder of such term, provision or condition nor any other term, provision, or condition of this Modification, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and this Modification, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall survive and be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable term, provision or condition had not been contained therein.

(f) Each Borrower acknowledges that, at all times prior to and through the date hereof, the Agent and the Lenders have acted in good faith and have conducted themselves in a commercially reasonable manner in their relationship with such Borrower in connection with this Modification and in connection with the obligations of the Borrowers to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan; the Borrowers hereby waiving and releasing any claims to the contrary.

(g) Each Borrower, Lender and the Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the date hereof, all references to the “Loan Agreement” set forth in any Loan Document shall mean the Loan Agreement, as modified pursuant to this Modification and any other modification of the Loan Agreement dated prior to the date hereof.

(h) Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, such Borrower is indebted to the Lenders in respect of the amounts due and owing under the Notes, all such amounts remain outstanding and unpaid and all such amounts are payable in full, without offset, defenses, deduction or counterclaim of any kind or character whatsoever.

(i) Each Borrower acknowledges (a) that it has participated in the negotiation of this Modification, and no provision of this Modification shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by any court or other governmental or judicial authority by reason of such party having or being deemed to have structured, dictated or drafted such provision; (b) that it has had access to an attorney of its choosing in the negotiation of the terms of and in the preparation and execution of this Modification, and it has had the opportunity to review, analyze, and discuss with its counsel this Modification, and the underlying factual matters relevant to this Modification, for a sufficient period of time prior to the execution and delivery hereof; (c) that all of the terms of this Modification were negotiated at arm’s length; (d) that this Modification was prepared and executed without fraud, duress, undue influence, or coercion of any kind exerted by any of the parties upon the others; and (e) that the execution and delivery of this Modification is the free and voluntary act of such Borrower.

(j) This Modification shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(k) This Modification may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument. Signature pages may be exchanged by facsimile and each party hereto agrees to be bound by its facsimile signature.
