                                                                             (2)


                              REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

$10,000,000.00                                            Hartford, Connecticut
                                                          September 1, 1999

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ACMAT CORPORATION, a Connecticut corporation with a
place of business in New Britain, Connecticut ("Maker") promises to pay to the
order of WEBSTER BANK, a federally chartered savings bank having a place of
business in Waterbury, Connecticut ("Payee"), or other holder of this Note, the
principal sum of TEN MILLION ($10,000,000.00) DOLLARS, or so much thereof as
shall from time to time be advanced by the Payee to the Maker and remain
outstanding, as conclusively evidenced by the books and records of Payee,
together with interest on the outstanding balance hereof before and after
maturity, at the rate hereinafter set forth until this Note shall have been
fully paid, all as hereinafter provided. Advances hereunder may be repaid by
Maker and readvanced by Payee from time to time.

      Interest Rate. The from time to time outstanding balance hereof shall bear
interest at a rate per annum (the "Rate") which is at all times equal to the
Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is an annual rate of interest designated from time to
time by Payee as an index for setting loan rates; it is not necessarily the
Payee's lowest or most favorable rate. The Prime Rate will be based on the rate
published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, under the heading "Money
Rates" and shown as Prime Rate. If there is more than one Prime Rate, the
highest of such rates shall be the rate applicable hereunder. The interest rate
hereunder shall change simultaneously with each change in the Payee's Prime Rate
without notice or demand of any kind.

      LIBOR Option. At any time after the date hereof, provided no default
hereunder shall have occurred, the Maker may elect, pursuant to a Notice of
Interest Rate Election (as defined in the Agreement hereinafter referenced) to
have amounts outstanding hereunder bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
one and six tenths (1.6%) percentage points per annum in excess of the LIBOR
Rate (as defined in the Agreement) for the Interest Period (as defined in the
Agreement) elected by Maker. No election may be made for a period that extends
beyond the maturity date of this Note.

      Amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the Prime Rate unless
otherwise so elected by Maker.

      Payments. Commencing on October 1, 1999, and on the same day of each and
every month thereafter, Maker shall make payments of interest only, in arrears,
on the unpaid balance hereof at the Rate(s) aforesaid applicable during such
prior month, calculated based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days but
for the actual number of days elapsed.


                                       1

      Maturity Date. The final maturity date of this Note shall be June 30,
2001, on which date the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note, including
without limitation, the unpaid principal balance and unpaid interest accrued
thereon, shall be due and payable without notice or demand. The maturity of this
Note shall in no way be affected or altered as a result of any increase or
decrease in the Rate.

      Prepayment. The Maker may prepay amounts outstanding under this Note
accruing interest at the Prime Rate in whole or in part without prepayment
penalty or premium. Amounts outstanding hereunder accruing interest in relation
to the LIBOR Rate may only be prepaid if such prepayment is accompanied by the
Prepayment Premium as more particularly set forth in the Agreement.

      Late Payments. In the event that any payment of principal or interest due
hereunder is not received by Payee within five (5) days after the same is due,
then the Maker agrees to pay to the Payee the additional sum of five (5%)
percent of the amount of such late payment to cover the additional expense of
Payee's handling of such late payment (but not as consideration for making such
late payment). Maker and Payee hereby agree that an exact computation of Payee's
damages relating to such late payment is impossible to ascertain, and further
agree that the percentage stated above is a reasonable estimation of Payee's
damages. Such estimation is based upon, inter alia, Payee's additional expenses
relating to (i) sending late notices, (ii) referring the matter to Payee's
collection department and (iii) providing for any necessary regulatory
compliance and reserve requirements.

      Application of Payments. All payments hereon shall be applied to expenses
as provided herein, interest and principal in such order as Payee shall, in its
discretion, determine. Said sums shall be payable together with all lawful taxes
and assessments levied thereon, or upon this Note, or upon the Payee with
respect to the same, and together with all costs and expenses related to
collecting this Note and together with all costs and expenses of foreclosing or
protecting or sustaining the lien of any security which may be given to secure
the payment of this Note, and/or in any litigation or controversy arising from
or connected with this Note and/or any collateral securing this Note and/or the
Agreement hereinafter referred to and/or incurred in any action brought by the
holder of a prior lien in which the Payee is a party defendant, including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees. Said obligation to pay the
reasonable attorneys' fees of the Payee in connection with protecting, enforcing
or realizing of the rights and remedies above described shall exist whether or
not proceedings are instituted or court appearance is made on behalf of the
Payee.

      Set Off. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Payee shall have
and may exercise a right of set-off for the payment of this Note and the
aforesaid costs and expenses against, and Maker hereby gives and grants to Payee
a security interest (perfected by Payee's possession thereof) in, all deposits,
monies, securities and property left with the Payee and/or any affiliate of the
Payee by the Maker or by any guarantor, endorser or otherwise to the credit of
or belonging to the Maker or any such party, and the Payee shall have full power
and authority at any time and without prior notice to sell, assign and deliver
any such property at public or private sale, and apply the proceeds in
satisfaction hereof.

      Commercial Credit Agreement. This Note is issued under and pursuant to the
terms of a Commercial Credit Agreement of even date (the "Agreement") by and

Guarantor, which Agreement is in the possession of the Payee.

      Guarantee.  Additionally, payment of this Note is guaranteed pursuant to
Guaranty Agreement of even date executed and delivered by ACSTAR Holdings, Inc.

      Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, as such term is
defined in the Agreement or if any payment specified herein shall remain in
arrears and unpaid for a period of ten (10) days after the same shall become
due, at the option of Payee, (i) the interest rate accruing hereunder shall,
from such default, be increased by three (3%) percentage points per annum above
the Prime Rate (the "Default Rate"), such Default Rate to change when and as
said Prime Rate changes, and (ii) this Note shall become forthwith due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which
being hereby expressly waived by the undersigned. Without in any way limiting
the generality of the foregoing the interest rate accruing hereunder shall be
the Default Rate (i) upon the option of Payee and (ii) only during the period
when Payee is not also collecting a late payment charge hereunder. Maker and
Payee hereby agree that any Event of Default or default in any payments of
principal or interest hereunder results in, inter alia, additional
administrative costs, regulatory costs, reserve requirements, and credit costs
to Payee. Maker and Payee further agree that such Default Rate approximates the
interest rate Payee might charge to borrowers with sub-standard credit. In the
event the Default Rate exceeds the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, the
Default Rate shall be reduced so as to equal the maximum rate of interest
allowed by law.

      Reimbursement for Costs. If the Payee shall deem applicable to this Note
(including, in each case, the borrowed and the unused portion thereof, if any)
any requirement of any law of the United States of America, any regulation,
order, interpretation, ruling, official directive or guideline (whether or not
having the force of law) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other board or governmental or administrative agency of the
United States of America which shall impose, increase, modify or make applicable
to this Note or cause this Note to be included in, any reserve, special deposit,
calculation used in the computation of regulatory capital standards, assessment
or other requirement which imposes on the Payee any cost that is attributable to
the maintenance thereof, then, and in each such event, the Maker shall promptly
pay the Payee, upon its demand, such amount as will compensate the Payee for any
such cost. In the event any such cost is a continuing cost, a fee payable to the
Payee may be imposed upon the Maker periodically for so long as any such cost is
deemed applicable by the Payee, in an amount determined by the Payee to be
necessary to compensate the Payee for any such cost, which determination may be
based upon the Payee's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such costs
resulting from such events. The determination by the Payee of the existence and
amount of any such costs shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive.
