times, keep the Bank accurately informed in writing of each location where the
Debtor's assets are kept and of each of its places of business and Debtor shall

as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a valid and
enforceable first priority security interest of the Bank in the Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank is hereby authorized to authenticate and
to file Financing Statements,
5
Fixture Filings or similar records naming the Debtor or any other party being or

Correction Statement relating to the Collateral or to any Financing Statement or
Fixture Filing filed by the Bank without the Bank's prior written consent. If

other Registered Organization (as that term is defined in Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in Connecticut) the Debtor shall, at its
expense, furnish to Bank a certified copy of Debtor's organization documents
verifying its correct legal name or, at Bank's election, shall permit the Bank
to obtain such certified copy at Debtor's expense. From time to time, at Bank's
election, the Bank may obtain a certified copy of Debtor's organization
documents and a search of such Uniform Commercial Code filing offices as it
shall deem appropriate, at Debtor's expense, to verify Debtor's compliance with
the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Debtor will keep the Collateral (to the extent that it consists of tangible
property) at all times insured against risks of loss or damage by fire
(including so-called extended coverage), theft and such other casualties as the
Bank may reasonably require, including collision in the case of any motor
vehicle, all in such amounts, under such forms of policies, under such terms,

insurance shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of
cancellation to the Bank, and the Debtor shall furnish the Bank with
certificates of such insurance or other evidence satisfactory to the Bank as to
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph. Debtor hereby irrevocably
appoints the Bank to act as attorney-in-fact for the Debtor in making, adjusting
and settling claims under such policies of insurance or endorsing the Debtor's
name on any drafts drawn by insurers of the Collateral or any other documents to
effect collection. Such insurance maintained by the Debtor shall include,
without limitation, insurance coverage on Collateral in the possession of the
Bank or its agent or contractor. Debtor, and any other Obligor by becoming bound
by the Obligations, hereby indemnifies the Bank against any loss or damage to
Collateral not insured by Debtor and for any deficiency in any effective
insurance coverage required to be maintained by Debtor pursuant to this section,
which indemnification obligation shall constitute part of the Obligations.
(e) Debtor will notify the Bank in writing promptly upon its learning of any

the Collateral; may place and pay for insurance on the Collateral; may order and
pay for the repair, maintenance and preservation of the Collateral; and may pay
any fees for filing or recording such instruments or documents as may be
necessary or desirable to perfect the security interest granted herein. The
Debtor agrees to reimburse the Bank on demand for any payment made or any
expense incurred by the Bank pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and all
such payments and expenses shall constitute part of the principal amount of
Obligations hereby secured and shall bear inters at the highest rate payable on
the Obligations of the Debtor to the Bank.

security interest, mortgage or encumbrance upon any of its property or assets

pledges, security interests, mortgages or encumbrances permitted in any
agreement related to the Obligations, it will secure the Obligations or cause
them to be secured by any such lien, pledge, security interest, mortgage or
encumbrance equally and ratably with any and all indebtedness thereby secured,
provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed or interpreted to
permit the Borrower to create, assume or permit to exist any lien, pledge,
security interest, mortgage or encumbrance not otherwise agreed to in writing by
the Bank. In the event that any other security interest or lien attaches to the
Collateral, other than Permitted Liens or the security interest to the Bank,
Debtor hereby grants to Bank a power of attorney to, in the name of the Debtor,
request and to enforce any right of Debtor to obtain, accountings and
information from such other secured party or lienor relating to the obligations
secured and collateral securing such security interest or lien, which power,
being coupled with an interest, shall not be revocable by Debtor. Debtor agrees
to pay or reimburse Bank upon demand for any charges resulting from such
requests for information.

furnish the Bank with a disclaimer or release signed by all persons having an
interest in the real estate or any interest in the Collateral which is recorded
or filed, or which may be, prior to the Bank's interest.

satisfactory to the Bank), either: (i) cause a Document of title, in form and

Collateral ceases to be such Inventory; and (ii) not cause or permit a
Certificate of Title to be issued in another state which does not list the
Bank's security interest.

by the Debtor, of the brief details of the Commercial Tort Claim and shall grant

content reasonably satisfactory to the Bank.

Obligations, without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, accelerate and
become immediately due and payable.
Upon and after an Event of Default, the Bank shall have the following additional
rights and remedies (which the Debtor , and, by becoming bound by the
Obligations or this Agreement, all other Obligors, Guarantors and any New
Debtors accept and agree upon):
(a) All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code or any other applicable law or at equity, all of which rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by
law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Security
Agreement or in any other agreement, document or instrument evidencing,
governing or securing the Obligations.
(b) The right to (i) take possession of the Collateral, without resort to legal
process and without prior notice to Debtor, and for the purpose Debtor hereby

Collateral therefrom, (ii) require the Debtor to assemble the Collateral and
make it available to Bank in a place to be designated by the Bank, in its sole
discretion, or

means after giving any notices required under applicable law. The Debtor shall
make available to the Bank all premises, locations and facilities necessary for
the Bank's taking possession of the Collateral or for removing or putting the
Collateral in saleable form.
(c) The right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral

written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition (which may
include, without limitation, a public sale or lease of a all or part of the
Collateral) is to be made. The Debtor agrees that 5 days is a reasonable time
for such notice. The Bank, its employees, attorneys and agents may bid and
become purchasers at any such sale, if public, and may purchase at any private
sale of the Collateral that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market
or which is subject to widely distributed standard price quotations. A public or
private sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof may be accomplished by
digital or electronic means, such as through use of the internet or other
telecommunications means.

warranties by the Bank, whether express or implied. Any public or private sale
shall be free from any right of redemption which the Debtor waives and releases

written agreement after any default. If there is a deficiency after such sale

responsible for the same, with interest at the maximum rate allowable by law,
and the costs and expenses of collection of such deficiency, including without
limitation, attorney's fees.

the Debtor for this purpose, such appointment being coupled with an interest),

General Intangibles at any time and direct such persons to make payments
directly to the Bank, and to perform all acts the Debtor could take to collect
on such Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and General Intangibles, including,
but without limitation, the right to notify postal authorities to change the
address for delivery, open mail, endorse checks, bring collection suits, and
realize upon Collateral securing such Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and
General Intangibles. At the Bank's request, all bills and statements sent by the
Debtor to the persons liable for payment of such Accounts, Chattel Paper,
Instruments and General intangibles shall state that they have been assigned to,
and solely payable to, the Bank, and Debtor shall direct persons liable for the
payment of such Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments and General Intangibles to
pay directly to the Bank any sums due or to become due on account thereof.
(e) The right from time to time without demand or notice, to apply and set off
any or all of the Deposits and Securities against, any and all Obligations even
though such Obligations be unmatured.
10

of Collateral until cash is actually received by the Bank.

nor operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future
occasion, nor shall the failure of delay of the Bank to exercise, or the partial
exercise of, any right, power or privilege provided for hereunder in any
circumstances preclude the full exercise of such right, power or privilege in
the same or similar circumstances in the future or the exercise of any other
right or remedy.
(b) This Security Agreement is intended as the final, complete and exclusive
statement of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement. No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provisions of this Security Agreement
or consent to any departure by the Debtor therefrom shall, in any event, be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank. Any waiver
of, or consent to any departure from, any provision of this Security Agreement
shall be effective only in the specific purpose for which it is given, and shall
not be deemed to extend to similar situations or to the same situation at a
