of which are acknowledged, the Borrowers and the Lender agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

respect to any specified Person, (a) indebtedness or liability for borrowed
money (whether by loan, the issuance and sale of debt securities or the sale of

otherwise to repurchase such assets from such Person) or for the deferred
purchase price of property or services; (b) obligations as a lessee under a

of contingent obligations of such Person incurred in connection with
acquisitions (including, without limitation, obligations to make earnout

secured by any Lien on property owned by the specified Person, whether or not
the obligations have been assumed.

          "Subsidiary" as to any Person, means a corporation, partnership,
limited partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which shares
of stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than
stock or such other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the
happening of a contingency) to elect a majority of the board of directors or
other managers of such entity are at the time owned, or the management of which
is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, or both, by such Person. Unless otherwise qualified, all
references to a "Subsidiary" or to "Subsidiaries" in this Agreement shall refer
to a Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Parent.

          "Termination Date" means June 30, 2002, and any extension or

such consolidated Net Income, extraordinary or unusual gains or other gains not
incurred in the ordinary course of business, in each case determined in
accordance with GAAP.

          "EBITDA" means, for any period, (a) consolidated Net Income of the

case determined in accordance with GAAP.

          "Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio" means, for each 12-month period ending
on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Parent, the ratio of (a) Adjusted
EBITDA for such period to (b) the sum of (1) interest expense for such period
plus (2) current maturities of long-term Debt outstanding on the last day of
such period, including, without limitation, the current maturity components of
Capital Lease and Synthetic Lease payments plus (3) cash taxes; paid during
such period. The foregoing shall be determined on a consolidated basis for the
Parent and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

any dividend or distribution on, or for the purchase, redemption or retirement
of, any shares of its capital stock; or make any other distribution by
reduction of capital or otherwise in respect of any shares of its capital
stock; or permit any of its Subsidiaries to purchase or otherwise acquire for
value any stock of such Borrower or another Subsidiary, except that, subject to
the compliance by the Borrowers with the provisions of Section 7 below, (a) a
Borrower may declare and deliver dividends and make distributions payable in
common stock of such Borrower, (b) a Borrower may purchase or otherwise acquire
shares of its capital stock by exchange for or out of the proceeds received
from a substantially concurrent issue of new shares of its capital stock, and
(c) the Parent or any Subsidiary may pay dividends to IDENTIX, the Parent or to
another Subsidiary after three days' prior written notice to the Lender,
provided that both and after giving effect to such payment, the Borrowers have
not violated the financial covenants contained in Section 7 hereof."

     4.   Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement is deleted in its entirety and is

provision:

          Section Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio. At all times the Parent shall
     not permit the Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio as of the end of each of its
     fiscal quarters to be less than 1.20 to 1."

Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The Borrowers acknowledge
and


<PAGE>   4
agree that this Amendment effects an extension of the Termination Date, among
other amendments, and is not a novation, and the Borrowers ratify and confirm
the remaining terms and provisions of the Loan Documents in all respects.

        8. The Borrowers represent and warrant that this Amendment has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of them in accordance with
resolutions adopted by their respective boards of directors. All other
representations and warranties made by the Borrowers in the Loan Documents are
incorporated by reference in this Amendment and are deemed to have been
repeated as of the date of this Amendment, with the same force and effect as if
set forth in this Amendment, except that any representation or warranty
relating to any financial statements shall be deemed to be applicable to the
financial statements most recently delivered to the Lender in accordance with
the provisions of the Loan Documents.

        9. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay all costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with this Amendment, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.

        10. This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, without reference to conflict of laws principles.

        11. This Amendment may be executed by the parties individually or in
any combination, in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an
original and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.

        12. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that there are no defenses,
counterclaims or setoffs against any of their respective obligations under the
Loan Documents.

Anadac, Inc.
Suite 900

Arlington, Virginia 22201

Dear Mindy:

Reference is made to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 9,
1991 (the "Original Loan Agreement"), by and between SUNTRUST BANK, a Georgia
banking corporation, successor in interest to CRESTAR BANK, a Virginia banking
corporation (the "Lender"), ANADAC, INC., a Virginia corporation (the
"Parent"), and LEGISLATIVE DEMOGRAPHIC SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation,
formerly known as System Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("LDS," and
together with the Parent, the "Borrowers"). The Original Loan Agreement, as
amended to the date hereof by the Substantive Amendments and the Extension
Letters, and as further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time,
shall be referred to as the "Loan Agreement." Terms defined in the Loan
Agreement shall have the same defined meanings when such terms are used herein.

Per the terms of the Loan Agreement the Termination Date is presently defined
as March 31, 2001. The Borrower and the Lender are currently working to modify
certain terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement in conjunction with the
annual extension of the Termination Date. To facilitate this process and insure
that the Borrowers continue to have benefit of the credit facilities outlined
in the Loan Agreement the definition of the Termination Date is hereby
modified to mean June 30, 2001.

At this time our expectation is that we will come to mutual agreement
concerning the modified terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement within a
short period of time and that this will be followed with a longer-term
extension. Thank-you for your patience during this period and we look forward
to the completion of this process.


Sincerely

Agreement. We are also aware of your desire to have the Termination Date extend
for a period of up to two years. Please be advised of our intent to work in good
faith to come a satisfactory resolution on these issues over the course of the
next few weeks. During the interim we ask that you acknowledge your acceptance
