SECURITY AGREEMENT

          SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of the 13th day of September, 2007, by and between FORTIFIED DATA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (formerly Aegis Merger Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Debtor"), and THOMAS KEENAN VENTURES, LLC (hereinafter, the "Secured Party").

          WHEREAS, Fortified Holdings Corp. ("Borrower") has requested from Secured Party, and Secured Party has agreed to extend to Borrower, a $5,000,000 term loan, as evidenced by that certain Term Loan Note made by Borrower to the order of Secured Party dated as of even date herewith (the "Note"); and

          WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to Secured Party’s extending the term loan evidenced by the Note to Borrower that Debtor execute and deliver to Secured Party (i) a Continuing Guaranty Agreement in favor of Secured Party (the "Guaranty") guaranteeing Borrower’s obligations to Secured Party and (ii) a security agreement in substantially the form hereof; and

          WHEREAS, Debtor desires to grant to Secured Party, as security for Debtor’s obligations set forth in the Guaranty (the "Obligations"), a first priority security interest in the Collateral (as defined below).

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree, as follows:

          1.      Definitions; Rules of Interpretation. All capitalized terms used herein without definitions (whether in the plural or singular form), including, but not limited to, the terms "Loan Documents" and "Event of Default", shall have the respective meanings provided therefor in the Note. The term "State", as used herein, means the State of Connecticut. All terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and used herein shall have the same definitions herein as specified therein. However, if a term is defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State differently than in another Article of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, the term has the meaning specified in Article 9. No reference to "proceeds" in this Agreement authorizes any sale, transfer, or other disposition of Collateral by Debtor.

          2.      Grant of Security Interest. Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Debtor’s Obligations, a security interest in and so pledges and assigns to Secured Party the following properties, assets and rights of Debtor, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and any and all proceeds and products of any thereof (all of the same being hereinafter called the "Collateral"): all personal and fixture property of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights

(whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles and software), including all patents, trademarks, applications and registrations thereof, service marks and other intellectual property. Secured Party acknowledges that the attachment of its security interest in any commercial tort claim as original collateral is subject to Debtor's compliance with §4.7.

          3.      Authorization to File Financing Statements. Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of Debtor or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, or such other jurisdiction, for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to Debtor and, (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Debtor agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon Secured Party's request. Debtor also ratifies its authorization for Secured Party to have filed in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

          4.      Other Actions. To further the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral, and without limitation on Debtor's other obligations in this Agreement, Debtor agrees, in each case at Debtor's expense and upon the written request of Secured Party, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

          4.1      Promissory Notes and Tangible Chattel Paper. If Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any promissory notes or tangible chattel paper, Debtor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Secured Party, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Secured Party may from time to time specify.

          4.2      Deposit Accounts. For each deposit account that Debtor at any time opens or maintains, Debtor shall, at Secured Party's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, either (a) cause the depositary bank to comply at any time with instructions from Secured Party to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of Debtor, or (b) arrange for Secured Party to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to the deposit account, with Debtor being permitted, only with the consent of Secured Party (which consent shall, so long as no Event

of Default has occurred and is continuing, be promptly given), to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account. Secured Party agrees with Debtor that Secured Party shall not give any such instructions or withhold any withdrawal rights from Debtor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would occur, if effect were given to any withdrawal not otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (i) any deposit account for which Debtor, the depositary bank and Secured Party have entered into a cash collateral agreement specially negotiated among Debtor, the depositary bank and Secured Party for the specific purpose set forth therein, (ii) a deposit account for which Secured Party is the depositary bank and is in automatic control, and (iii) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Debtor's salaried employees.

          4.3      Investment Property. If Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, Debtor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to Secured Party, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Secured Party may from time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are uncertificated and are issued to Debtor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, Debtor shall immediately notify Secured Party thereof and, at Secured Party's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from Secured Party as to such securities, without further consent of Debtor or such nominee, or (b) arrange for Secured Party to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by Debtor are held by Debtor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, Debtor shall immediately notify Secured Party thereof and, at Secured Party's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from Secured Party to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by Secured Party to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of Debtor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other investment property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for Secured Party to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment property, with Debtor being permitted, only with the consent of Secured Party (which consent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be promptly given), to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such investment property. Secured Party agrees with Debtor that Secured Party shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by Debtor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and

withdrawal rights not otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which Secured Party is the securities intermediary.

          4.4      Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Collateral is at any time in the possession of a bailee, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, at Secured Party's request and option, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of Secured Party, and that such bailee agrees to comply, without further consent of Debtor, with instructions from Secured Party as to such Collateral; provided, however, that until such instructions are given by the Secured Party, Debtor may withdraw such Collateral and otherwise deal with such Collateral. Secured Party agrees with Debtor that Secured Party shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by Debtor with respect to the bailee.

          4.5      Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If Debtor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any "transferable record," as that term is defined in Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, at the request and option of Secured Party, shall take such action as Secured Party may reasonably request to vest in Secured Party control, under §9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code, of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. Secured Party agrees with Debtor that Secured Party will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to Secured Party and so long as such procedures will not result in Secured Party's loss of control, for Debtor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC §9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to make without loss of control, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by Debtor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

          4.6      Letter-of-Credit Rights. If Debtor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit, Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party thereof and, at the request and option of Secured Party, Debtor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer or other nominated person of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Secured Party of the proceeds of the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for Secured Party to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Secured Party agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of the letter of

credit are to be held by Secured Party as cash collateral for the Obligations. Secured Party shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, disburse all such proceeds so held as cash collateral directly to Debtor; provided, however, that Secured Party may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its sole option, apply all or any part of such proceeds to the Obligations in such order or preference as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion.

          4.7      Commercial Tort Claims. If Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, Debtor shall immediately notify Secured Party in a writing signed by Debtor of the particulars thereof and grant to Secured Party in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party.

          4.8      Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. Debtor further agrees, at the request and option of Secured Party, to take any and all other actions Secured Party may determine to be reasonably necessary or useful for the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party's security interest in any and all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that Debtor's signature thereon is required therefor, (b) causing Secured Party's name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party's security interest in such Collateral, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party's security interest in such Collateral, (d) obtaining, if possible, governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, including, without limitation, any consent of any licensor, lessor or other person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party and (f) taking all actions under any earlier versions of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other law, as reasonably determined by Secured Party to be applicable in any relevant Uniform Commercial Code or other jurisdiction, including any foreign jurisdiction.

          9.      Insurance. Debtor will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers any and all insurance typically maintained on such collateral by similarly situated entities.

          10.      Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.

          10.1      Expenses Incurred by Secured Party. In Secured Party's discretion, if Debtor fails to do so within fifteen (15) days after notice from Secured Party, Secured Party may discharge taxes and other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the collateral, make repairs thereto and pay any necessary filing fees or insurance premiums. Debtor agrees to reimburse Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. Secured Party shall have no obligation to Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.

          10.2      Secured Party's Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to Secured Party or to which Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times. Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under §9-207

of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

          11.      Securities and Deposits. Secured Party may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, Secured Party may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Secured Party to Debtor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations then due and owing.

          12.      Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall, at the request and option of Secured Party, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of Secured Party in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Secured Party or to any financial institution designated by Secured Party as Secured Party's agent therefor, and Secured Party may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon Debtor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Debtor as trustee for Secured Party without commingling the same with other funds of Debtor and shall turn the same over to Secured Party in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. Secured Party shall apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

          13.      Power of Attorney.

          13.1      Appointment and Powers of Secured Party. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor or in Secured Party's own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:

          (a)      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and as fully and completely as though Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Debtor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Secured Party deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Secured Party so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

          (b)      to the extent that Debtor's authorization given in §3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Debtor's signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as Secured Party may deem appropriate and to execute in Debtor's name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Debtor's signature.

          13.2      Ratification by Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

          13.3      No Duty on Secured Party. The powers conferred on Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Secured Party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          14.      Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Secured Party, without any other notice to or demand upon Debtor, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial

Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to (a) take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may, so far as Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom, and (b) locate, disable or to take possession of the Collateral by electronic, digital, magnetic or wireless optical electromagnetic or similar means after giving any notices required under applicable law. Secured Party may in its discretion require Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of Debtor's principal office(s) or at such other locations as Secured Party may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Secured Party shall give to Debtor at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Debtor hereby acknowledges that ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice.

          15.      Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for Secured Party (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this §15 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party's duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State or any other

relevant jurisdiction in Secured Party's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this §15. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this §15 shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this §15.

          16.      No Waiver by Secured Party, etc. Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party. No delay or omission on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of Secured Party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as Secured Party deems expedient.

          17.      Suretyship Waivers by Debtor. Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Secured Party may deem advisable. Secured Party shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in §10.2. Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

          18.      Marshalling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

          19.      Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. Debtor shall pay to Secured Party on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Secured Party following an Event of Default in protecting, preserving or enforcing Secured Party's rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as Secured Party may determine, in its sole discretion, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a) (1) (C) or 9-615(a) (3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, any excess shall be returned to Debtor. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

          (a)      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law). It is the express intention of Secured Party and Debtor that the laws of the State of Connecticut (but not its conflict of laws rules) apply to the entirety of the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents.

                    (b)      Debtor hereby irrevocably submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Connecticut State or United States Federal court sitting in the State of Connecticut, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and Debtor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect to such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Connecticut State or Federal court. Debtor irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to Debtor by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address specified in §21. Debtor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

                    (c)      Nothing in this §22 shall affect the right of Secured Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect any right that Secured Party may otherwise have to bring an action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against Debtor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction, including without limitation, the courts (State and Federal) of or sitting in the State of Connecticut.

                    (d)      Debtor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any Connecticut State or Federal Court (or other State or Federal Court chosen by Secured Party as provided above). Debtor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

                    (e)      To the extent that Debtor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether from service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise,) with respect to Debtor or its property, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

                    (f)      (i) TO INDUCE SECURED PARTY TO ENTER INTO THE COMMERCIAL LOAN TRANSACTION EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, DEBTOR AGREES THAT THIS IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION AND NOT A CONSUMER TRANSACTION, AND (SUBJECT ONLY TO SECTION (f)(ii) HEREOF) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO NOTICE AND A HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 903a OF THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL STATUTES, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY OTHER FEDERAL OR STATE STATUTE OR STATUTES OR FOREIGN LAWS AFFECTING PREJUDGMENT REMEDIES, AND AUTHORIZES SECURED PARTY’S ATTORNEY TO ISSUE A WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WITHOUT COURT ORDER, PROVIDED THE COMPLAINT SHALL SET FORTH A COPY OF THIS WAIVER, AND WAIVES ANY CLAIM IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE AGAINST SECURED PARTY’S ATTORNEY WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF SUCH ISSUANCE OF A WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WITHOUT COURT ORDER. FURTHER, SUBJECT ONLY TO SECTION (f)(ii) HEREOF, IN THE EVENT SECURED PARTY SEEKS TO TAKE POSSESSION OF ANY OR ALL OF DEBTOR’S PROPERTIES OR OTHER ASSETS BY COURT PROCESS OR OTHER METHOD AVAILABLE UNDER THE LAW, DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY BOND AND ANY SURETY OR SECURITY RELATING THERETO REQUIRED BY ANY STATUTE, COURT RULE OR OTHERWISE AS AN INCIDENT TO SUCH POSSESSION, AND WAIVES ANY DEMAND FOR POSSESSION PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY SUIT OR ACTION TO RECOVER WITH RESPECT THERETO. SPECIFICALLY, DEBTOR

RECOGNIZES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT THE EXERCISE OF SECURED PARTY’S RIGHTS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY RESULT IN THE ATTACHMENT OF OR LEVY AGAINST DEBTOR’S PROPERTY, AND SUCH WRIT FOR A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WILL NOT HAVE THE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL OR SCRUTINY OF A COURT OF LAW OR OTHER JUDICIAL OFFICER AND DEBTOR WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ANY NOTICE OR PRIOR HEARING WHERE DEBTOR MIGHT CONTEST SUCH A PROCEDURE. THE INTENT OF DEBTOR IS TO GRANT TO SECURED PARTY FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION THE RIGHT TO OBTAIN SUCH A PREJUDGMENT REMEDY AND TO EXPRESS ITS BELIEF THAT ANY SUCH PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OBTAINED IS VALID AND CONSTITUTIONAL UNLESS A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION SHOULD DETERMINE OTHERWISE. FURTHER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES DEMAND, PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF DISHONOR, DILIGENCE IN COLLECTION, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND ANY AND ALL NOTICES OF A LIKE NATURE. FURTHER, TO THE EXTENT NOT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, DEBTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL DEFENSES OF SURETYSHIP OR IMPAIRMENT OF COLLATERAL.

DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF SECURED PARTY RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

          23.2      DEBTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER SECURED PARTY NOR ANY REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SECURED PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SECURED PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY OR ALL OF THE FOREGOING WAIVERS OR OTHER WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, (B) ACKNOWLEDGES AND STIPULATES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND OTHER WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE MADE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY AND AFTER FULL CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL, AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND OTHER WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SECURED PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH SECURED PARTY IS A PARTY AND MAKE THE LOANS.

24.      Entire Agreement; Severability.

          24.1      Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by this Agreement. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superceded by this Agreement, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is

intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

          24.2      Severability. If any one or more terms or provisions contained in this Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, in any jurisdiction and to any extent, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such terms or provisions shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions hereof or thereof or the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

          25.      Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Secured Party and its successors and assigns.
