now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy
arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.

Default described in Paragraph F.2.) at the Bank's sole option, all
Liabilities shall immediately become due and payable in full, all
without protest, presentment, demand or further notice of any kind to
the Guarantor or any other Obligor, all of which are expressly waived.
Upon the occurrence of any of the Events of Default described in
Paragraph F.2. hereof, immediately and automatically, all Liabilities
shall become due and payable in full, all without protest, presentment,
demand or further notice of any kind to the Guarantor or any other
Obligor, all of which are expressly waived. Upon and following an Event
of Default, the Bank may, at its option, exercise any and all rights
and remedies it has under this Guaranty, any other Loan Document and/or
applicable law including, without limitation, an action for specific
performance to enforce or aid in the enforcement of any provision
contained herein or in any other Loan Document.
2. Right of Set-off. If any of the Liabilities shall be due and payable
and whether or not the Bank shall have made any demand under this
Guaranty, and regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral for the
Liabilities or other means of obtaining repayment of the Liabilities,
the Bank shall have the right, without notice to the Guarantor or to
any other Obligor, and is specifically authorized hereby to apply
toward and set-off against and apply to the then unpaid balance of the
Liabilities any items or funds of the Guarantor and/or any Obligor held
by the Bank or any Affiliate, any and all deposits (whether general or
special, time or demand, matured or unmatured) or any other property of
the Guarantor and/or any Obligor, including, without limitation,
securities and/or certificates of deposit, now or hereafter maintained
by the Guarantor and/or any Obligor for its or their own account with
the Bank, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the
Bank or any Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Guarantor and/or any Obligor, even if effecting such set-off results in
a loss or reduction of interest or the imposition of a penalty
applicable to the early withdrawal of time deposits. For such purpose,
the Bank shall have, and the Guarantor hereby grants to the Bank, a
first lien on and security interest in such deposits, property, funds
and accounts and the proceeds thereof. The Guarantor further authorizes
any Affiliate, upon and following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, at the request of the Bank, and without notice to the
Guarantor, to turn over to the Bank any property of the Guarantor held
by the Affiliate of the Guarantor's account and to debit any deposit
account maintained by the Guarantor with such Affiliate (even if such
deposit account is not then due or there results a loss or reduction of
interest or the imposition of a penalty in accordance with law
applicable to the early withdrawal of time deposits), in the amount
requested by the Bank up to the amount of the Liabilities, and to pay
or transfer such amount or property to the Bank for application to the
Liabilities.
3. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. The rights, powers and remedies of the
Bank provided in this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and concurrent, and are not exclusive of any right, power or
remedy available to the Bank. No failure or delay on the part of the
Bank in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right,
power or remedy.
4. Continuing Enforcement of the Loan Documents. If, after receipt of any
payment of all or any part of the Liabilities or the obligations of the
Guarantor to the Bank, the Bank is compelled or agrees, for settlement
purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any
reason, then this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall continue
in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be. The
provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this
Guaranty and the other Loan Documents and shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding the payment of the Liabilities, the cancellation of the
Guaranty or any other Loan Document, the release of any security
interest, lien or encumbrance securing the Liabilities or any other
action which the Bank may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of
such payment.
H. Miscellaneous.
1. Notices. Notices and communications under this Guaranty shall be in

governed by the substantive laws of the State of Connecticut without
reference to conflict of laws principles.

hereof and thereof. No amendment of this Guaranty, and no waiver of any
one or more of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless set

assignment by the Guarantor shall be void and of no effect with respect
to the Bank. The Bank may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or
in part, or grant participations in some or all of the Loan Documents
and/or the obligations evidenced thereby. The Guarantor authorizes the
Bank to provide information concerning the Guarantor to any prospective
purchaser, assignee or participant.
6. Severability and Consistency. The illegality, unenforceability or
inconsistency of any provision of this Guaranty or any instrument or
agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the
legality, enforceability or consistency of the remaining provisions of
this Guaranty or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. The
Loan Documents are intended to be consistent. However, in the event of
any inconsistencies among any of the Loan Documents, such inconsistency
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of each Loan Document.

ambiguity in any of the Loan Documents, the Loan Documents shall not be
construed against any one party but shall be interpreted consistent
with the Bank's policies and procedures.

irrevocably appoints each and every owner, partner, and/or officer of
