             REVOLVING CREDIT, EQUIPMENT LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS Revolving Credit, Equipment Loan and Security Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of August 6, 2003 by and between TransAct Technologies
Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("Borrower") and Banknorth, N.A., a
national banking association ("Lender");

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

         In consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein
contained and to induce Lender to extend credit to Borrower, the parties agree
as follows:

1        Definitions. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.

2        The Loan.

         2.1      Revolving Credit Loan. Lender agrees, on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Credit Loans to
Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period in amounts such
that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and the face
amount of any letters of credit and banker's acceptances at any one time
outstanding will not exceed the lesser of (i) the Maximum Loan Amount and (ii)
the Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall be reduced by certain reserves as
may be reasonably agreed to by the Borrower and the Lender and consistent with
financial statement disclosures by the Borrower and reported in its filings
under federal securities law, including without limitation a reserve for the
settlement of certain patent claims in the amount of $1,000,000 (the "Patent
Reserve") currently deducted from the Borrowing Base. Within the foregoing
limit, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans at any
time during the Revolving Credit Period.

         2.2      Revolving Note. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced
by a promissory note in the face amount of the Maximum Loan Amount and dated the
date hereof and in the form appended here to as Exhibit 2 (the "Revolving Credit
Note") and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit
Note and this Agreement.

         2.3      Requesting Interest Rate.

             (a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Prime Rate Borrowing if
made through any controlled disbursement or similar account maintained by the
Borrower with Lender or a LIBOR Borrowing if the Borrower so requests in
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower must request at
least two Business Days prior to the end of any Interest Period that a LIBOR
Borrowing be continued as a LIBOR Borrowing (in accordance

                                     - 1 -

<PAGE>

with the provisions hereof) otherwise such LIBOR Borrowing will be continued as
a Prime Rate Borrowing.

             (b) Each LIBOR Borrowing or continuation of any LIBOR Borrowing
shall be in an amount at least equal to $100,000 or any greater multiple of
$50,000. There shall not at any time be more than a total of four (4) LIBOR
Borrowings outstanding for all Loans at any time.

             (c) The Borrower may request a LIBOR Borrowing or continuation of a
LIBOR Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings
time, as applicable, two Business Days before the date of the proposed LIBOR
Borrowing or continuation. Each request for a LIBOR Borrowing shall set forth
the requested Interest Period and shall be irrevocable.

         2.4      Collections Account.

             (a) Borrower shall instruct all Account Debtors and other Persons
obligated in respect of Accounts and other Collateral to make all payments in
respect of the Accounts or other Collateral directly to Lender (by instructing
that such payments be remitted to a post office box under the control of
Lender). All such payments made to Lender through the post office box shall be
deposited in the Collections Account. Borrower shall pay Lender's standard fees
and charges in connection with such lockbox arrangement; as such fees and
charges may change from time to time. Borrower further agrees that if the
proceeds of any Collateral (including the payments made in respect of Accounts)
shall be received by it, Borrower shall, as promptly as possible, deposit such
proceeds in the Demand Deposit Account as soon as received. Until so deposited,
all such proceeds shall be held in trust by Borrower for and as the property of
Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower.
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender, its officers,
employees and authorized agents to endorse and sign its name on all checks,
drafts, money orders or other media of payment so delivered, and such
endorsements or assignments shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been made
by Borrower prior to any endorsement or assignment thereof by Lender.

             (b) If Borrower subscribes to Lender's cash management services and
such services are applicable to the Loan, the terms of such services, as set
forth in the Blocked Account Agreement, shall control the manner in which funds
are transferred between the Demand Deposit Account and the Loan for credit or
debit to the Loan.

             (c) For the purpose of calculating interest due under this
Agreement, payment items shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the
Loan two Business Days after receipt in the lockbox, subject to chargebacks for
uncollected payment items. No payment item received by Lender shall constitute
payment to Lender until such item is actually collected by Lender and credited
to the Collections Account; provided, however, Lender shall have the right to
charge back to the Collections Account, the Demand Deposit Account (or any other
account of Borrower maintained at Lender) any item which is returned for
inability to collect, plus accrued

                                     - 2 -

<PAGE>

interest during the period of Lender's provisional credit for such item prior to
receiving notice of dishonor.

             (d) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any duly
authorized Person designated by Lender) as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to
endorse Borrower's name on any checks, drafts, money orders or other media of
payment which come into Lender's possession or control; this power being coupled
with an interest is irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness remain
outstanding. Such endorsement by Lender under power of attorney shall, for all
purposes, be deemed to have been made by Borrower (prior to any subsequent
endorsement by the Lender) in negotiation of the item.

         2.5      Revolving Credit Loans.

             (a) Lender, in its discretion, may require from Borrower a signed
written request for a Revolving Credit Loan in form satisfactory to Lender,
which request shall be delivered to Lender no later than 12:00 noon (local
Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time as applicable) on the date of
the requested Revolving Credit Loan if a Prime Rate Borrowing and as provided in
Section 2.3 if a LIBOR Borrowing, and shall set forth the calculation of the
Borrowing Base and a reconciliation to the previous request or Borrowing Base
Certificate, specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of
the proposed Revolving Credit Loan and provide such other information as Lender
may require. Lender's acceptance of such a request shall be indicated by its
making the Revolving Credit Loan requested.

             (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
in excess of the original maximum principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note,
and all such amounts shall (i) be part of the Indebtedness evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Note, (ii) bear interest as provided herein, (iii) be payable
upon demand by Lender, and (iv) be entitled to all rights and security as
provided under the Loan Documents.

             (c) Revolving Credit Loans may be repaid and reborrowed during the
Revolving Credit Period; provided that if the Borrower repays the Liabilities in
full and cancels this Agreement, the Borrower must pay to the Lender at such
time a fee prior to the first anniversary of this Agreement equal to one percent
(1.0%) of the Maximum Loan Amount, and after the first anniversary of this
Agreement and prior to the second anniversary of this Agreement of one half
percent (0.50%) of the Maximum Loan Amount. Such payment shall be due and
payable upon the giving of any notice to the Lender of the cancellation of this
Agreement by the Borrower and shall be Indebtedness hereunder.

             (d) Borrower will maintain all of its primary deposit accounts with
Lender, provided that Borrower may continue to utilize a deposit account with
Tompkins County Trust in Ithaca, New York; provided that Tompkins County Trust
executes the block account agreement (the "Tompkins Blocked Account Agreement")
in the form appended hereto as Exhibit 3 and such account is closed within
ninety (90) days of the date hereof.

         2.6      Equipment Line. In addition to the Revolving Credit Loans made
pursuant to Section 2.1 above, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Lender shall make available to the Borrower Equipment Loans up to a
maximum aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 (the "Equipment Loan Amount")
to the Borrower to be repaid as provided in the Equipment Notes in the form
appended hereto as Exhibit 4 provided, however, that each such Equipment Loan
shall not exceed between eighty percent (80%) of the net invoice cost (which
shall be exclusive of shipping, handling, installation and all other "soft"
costs) of any new Equipment to be purchased by Borrower. Borrower may request
Equipment Loans prior up to July 31, 2004 during any period in which no Event of
Default exists and is continuing up to the Equipment Loan Amount. Each Equipment
Loan may be prepaid without penalty except for any prepayment of any LIBOR
Borrowing or Fixed Rate Borrowing which will be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.15. Principal amounts of Equipment Loans which have been repaid or
prepaid may not be reborrowed.

         The Equipment Loan for $450,000.00 made on the date hereof shall be
payable based upon 60 equal monthly payments of principal commencing one month
from the date hereof with interest payable monthly with each payment of
principal at the rate selected by the Borrower. All further Equipment Loans
shall be payable interest only as a Prime Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing
until the earlier of the date upon which the Equipment Loans are advanced up to
the Equipment Loan Amount or July 31, 2004. Thereafter the then outstanding
balance of the Equipment Loans advanced after the date hereof shall amortize
based on 60 equal monthly principal payments with interest. Upon the date
amortization commences the Borrower must choose whether such Equipment Loan will
be a Fixed Rate Borrowing for the balance of the term of the Equipment Loan or
either a LIBOR Borrowing or the Prime Rate Borrowing for the balance of the
terms of the Equipment Loan. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the
contrary, the entire unpaid principal balance of Equipment Loans and any accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the acceleration of the Indebtedness as provided in
Section 8 hereof or (ii) July 31, 2008.

         2.7      Letters of Credit. Lender in its sole discretion may issue
letters of credit or bankers' acceptances upon terms and conditions satisfactory
to Lender.

         2.8      Repayment of Loans.

             (a) The Revolving Credit Loans shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof and all interest, fees, expenses and other amounts payable under
the Loan Documents shall be due and payable on the last day of the Revolving
Credit Period unless extended in writing by the Lender in its sole discretion.

             (b) The principal amount of each Equipment Note shall be payable as
provided in Section 2.6 hereof and the Equipment Notes.

             (c) The Equipment Notes may be prepaid as provided in Section 2.6
hereof.

                                     - 4 -

             (d) Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate unpaid principal
balance of each LIBOR Borrowing from the date of each such Loan through and
including the last day of the Interest Period chosen by Borrower with respect to
such LIBOR Borrowing or any continuation thereof as provided in Section 2.13 and
shall pay all interest accrued but unpaid at the option of Lender (i) on the
first day of each month, (ii) monthly from the date the LIBOR Borrowing is made
or (iii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Accrued and unpaid
interest on all Prime Rate Borrowings shall be due and payable on the first day
of each calendar month.

             (e) Lender may debit any deposit account of Borrower with Lender,
the Demand Deposit Account the Collections Account and/or make Revolving Credit
Loans to Borrower (whether or not in excess of the lesser of the Maximum Loan
Amount and the Borrowing Base) and apply such amounts to the payment of
interest, fees, expenses and other amounts to which Lender may be entitled from
time to time under any Indebtedness due Lender and Lender is hereby irrevocably
authorized to do so without the consent of Borrower.

             (f) Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest
on the Loan and fees hereunder not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern Standard or
Eastern Daylight Savings Time as applicable) on the date when due, without set
off, counterclaim or other deduction, in immediately available funds to Lender
at its address referred to in Section 10.4. Whenever any payment of principal
of, or interest on, the Loans or of fees shall be due on a day, which is not a
Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by
operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such
extended time.

             (g) To the extent that the aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit
Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base, the amount of such excess will be paid
immediately to Lender upon Lender's demand. Failure to make such payment shall
be an immediate Event of Default.

             (h) Regardless of the term of any Loan, all Loans shall be due and
payable if any Loan is not paid when due.

         2.9      Overdue Amounts. Any payments not made as and when due shall
bear interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate, in Lender's
discretion.

         2.10     Fees.

             (a) Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable facility fee in
the amount of $10,000.00 on the date of this Agreement.

             (b) Borrower shall pay to Lender a unused facility fee for each day
at a rate per annum equal to the product of (i) one-quarter of one percent
divided by 360 multiplied by (ii) the difference between (A) the Maximum Loan
Amount and (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans on
such day, payable monthly on the first day of each calendar month with respect
to the immediately preceding month.

         2.11     Statement of Account. Lender will provide Borrower with a
statement of account on a monthly basis, such statement will be presumed
complete and accurate and will be definitive and binding on Borrower, unless
objected to with specificity by Borrower in writing within forty-five (45) days
after receipt.

         2.12     Interest Rate.

             (a) The Revolving Credit Loans comprising each Prime Rate Borrowing
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as adjusted from
time to time.

             (b) The Revolving Credit Loans and Equipment Loans comprising each
LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Borrowing plus the
Applicable Margin for each such Type of Loan.

             (c) Equipment Loans comprising each Prime Rate Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.25% as adjusted from
time to time.

             (d) Equipment Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate quoted on by the Lender
prior to the date of such Equipment Loan.

             (e) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR
Borrowing the Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error):

                  (i)      that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
                  ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as
                  applicable, for such Interest Period; or

                  (ii)     that, due to changes in circumstances, the Adjusted
                  LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
                  Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the
                  Lender of making or maintaining their Loans included in such
                  LIBOR Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone or
telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and Loan shall be made as a Prime
Rate Borrowing.

             (f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable
Prime Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, Fixed Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by
Lender and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         2.13     Increased Costs.

             (a) If any Change in Law shall:

                  (i)      impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve,
                  special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
                  deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the
                  Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
                  Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

                  (ii)     impose on the Lender or the London interbank market
                  any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR
                  Borrowings made by the Lender;

                  (iii)    and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
                  increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any
                  LIBOR Borrowing (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
                  such Loan), then the Borrower will pay to the Lender such
                  additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for
                  such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

             (b) If the Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law
regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on the Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by the
Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender's holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the
Lender's policies and the policies of the Lender's holding company with respect
to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender's
holding company, for any such reduction suffered.

             (c) A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be,
as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 and setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for such claim and a calculation of the amount
payable to the Lender shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive
so long as it reflects a reasonable basis for the calculation of the amounts set
forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The Borrower shall pay
the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

         2.14     Break Funding Payment.

             (a) In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR
Borrowing other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR
Borrowing other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto,
or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Borrowing
on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of
whether such notice is permitted to be revocable and is revoked in accordance
herewith) then, in any such

                                     - 7 -

<PAGE>


event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event, including the LIBOR Yield Maintenance Fee.

             (b) In the event of the prepayment of any principal of any Fixed
Rate Borrowing (including as a result of an Event of Default) the Borrower shall
compensate the Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such
prepayment in an amount equal to the greater of (i) one percent (1.00%) of the
principal amount so prepaid or (ii) the Fixed Rate Yield Maintenance Fee.

         2.15     Mandatory Prepayments.

             (a) Sale, Damage, Destruction, etc. If Borrower sells any
Equipment, or if any of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or taken by
condemnation, Borrower shall pay to Lender, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein or otherwise agreed to by Lender, as and when received by
Borrower and as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans, to be applied first against
the last maturing installments of principal of any Equipment Loan used to
finance the purchase of such Equipment, if any, in the inverse order thereof and
then (or otherwise) to the Revolving Credit Loans, subject to Borrower's ability
to reborrow Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (or, at
Lender's option, such of the other Indebtedness of Borrower as Lender may
elect), a sum equal to the net proceeds received by Borrower from (i) such sale
or (ii) such damage, destruction or condemnation, provided, however, that
without Lender's consent, unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing:

                  (i)      obsolete or worn out Equipment may be sold or
                  otherwise disposed of by Borrower and the proceeds thereof may
                  be retained by Borrower, so long as the fair market value of
                  any such Equipment sold or otherwise disposed of in any single
                  transaction is less than $25,000, and the fair market value,
                  in the aggregate, of all such Equipment sold or otherwise
                  disposed of by Borrower during any twelve-month period is less
                  than $50,000; and

                  (ii)     proceeds of Collateral arising from the damage,
                  destruction or condemnation thereof may be retained by
                  Borrower and used by Borrower to repair, restore or replace
                  such Collateral, as the case may be, so long as the fair
                  market value of any such Collateral damaged, destroyed or
                  condemned in any single incident is less than $25,000 and the
                  fair market value, in the aggregate, of all such Collateral
                  owned by Borrower and damaged, destroyed or condemned during
                  any twelve-month period is less than $50,000.

following conditions shall have been satisfied, in the sole opinion of Lender
and its counsel:

         3.1      Conditions Precedent to Initial Advance. In addition to any

Loan unless and until the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

representations and warranties shall be deemed made as of the date hereof and as
of each date the Borrower requests a Revolving Credit Loan:

         4.1      Valid Existence and Power. Borrower and each Subsidiary is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified or licensed to
transact business in all places where the failure to be so qualified would have
a Material Adverse Effect on it. Each of Borrower and each other Person which is
a party to any Loan Document (other than Lender) has the power to make and
perform the Loan Documents executed by it and all such instruments will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Person, enforceable
in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to bankruptcy and
similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally.

         4.2      Authority. The execution, delivery and performance thereof by
Borrower and each other Person (other than Lender) executing any Loan Document
have been duly authorized by all necessary action of such Person, and do not and
will not violate any provision of law or regulation, or any writ, order or
decree of any court or governmental or regulatory authority or agency or any
provision of the governing instruments of such Person, and, except as set forth
on Schedule 4.2, do not and will not, with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, result in a breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent
under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of such
Person pursuant to, any law, regulation, instrument or agreement to which any
such Person is a party or by which any such Person or its respective properties
may be subject, bound or affected.

         4.3      Financial Condition. Other than as disclosed in financial
statements delivered on or prior to the date hereof to Lender, neither Borrower
nor any Subsidiary has any direct or contingent obligations or liabilities
(including any guarantees or leases) or any material unrealized or anticipated
losses from any commitments of such Person except as described on Schedule 4.3
(if any). All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP (other than the absence of footnotes and subject to year end adjustment, as
to interim statements) and fairly present the financial condition of Borrower or
Subsidiary, as the case may be, as of the date thereof. Borrower is Solvent, and
after consummation of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and the other
Loan documents, Borrower will be Solvent.

any), there are no suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower
threatened, before any court or by or before any governmental or regulatory

covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is
a party, or any law, regulation, decree, order or the like.

licenses required under applicable law or regulation for the ownership or
operation of the property owned or operated by Borrower or any Subsidiary or for
the conduct of any business in which it is engaged have been duly issued and are
in full force and effect, and it is not in default, nor has any event occurred
which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default, under any of the terms or provisions of any part thereof,
or under any order, decree, ruling, regulation, closing agreement or other
decision or instrument of any governmental commission, bureau or other
administrative agency or public regulatory body having jurisdiction over such
Person, which default would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Person.

permitted by Lender in writing (i) declare or pay any dividend or other
distribution (other than stock dividends) on, purchase, redeem or retire any
shares of any class of its stock, or make any payment on account of, or set
apart assets for the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or retirement of, any
class of its stock, equity or other interest (ii) make any optional payment or
prepayment on or redemption (including without limitation by making payments to

such Preferred B Dividend Payment as if such Preferred B Dividend Payment had
been made on the last day of such fiscal period covered by such financial
statements. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to infer that any breach of
a financial covenant or other provision of this Agreement subsequent to the
payment of a Preferred B Dividend Payment would not constitute a Default or
Event of Default.

         8.2      Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, at its option, (i) withhold

Indebtedness, exercise any remedy available to Lender hereunder or at law and

                                     - 27 -

<PAGE>

Loan Document or under applicable law. No remedy shall be exclusive of other
remedies or impair the right of Lender to exercise any other remedies.

             (b) Without waiving any of its other rights hereunder or under any
other Loan Document, Lender shall have all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable
jurisdiction) and such other rights and remedies as may be available hereunder,
under other applicable law or pursuant to contract. If requested by Lender,
Borrower will promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender
at a place to be designated by Lender. Borrower agrees that any notice by Lender
of the sale or disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action
hereunder, whether required by the Code or otherwise, shall constitute
reasonable notice to Borrower if the notice is mailed to Borrower by regular or
certified mail, postage prepaid, at least five days before the action to be
taken. Borrower shall be liable for any deficiencies in the event the proceeds
of the disposition of the Collateral do not satisfy the Indebtedness in full.

             (c) Lender may demand, collect and sue for all amounts owed
pursuant to Accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper or for proceeds of any

         8.3      Deposits; Insurance. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Lender to collect and
apply against the Indebtedness when due any cash or deposit accounts in its
possession, and any refund of insurance premiums or any insurance proceeds
payable on account of the loss or damage to any of the Collateral and
irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or
draft or take other action necessary to obtain such funds.

9        Security Agreement.

         9.1      Security Interest.

             (a) As security for the payment and performance of any and all of
the Indebtedness and the performance of all other obligations and covenants of
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, certain or contingent,
now existing or hereafter arising, which are now, or may at any time or times
hereafter be owing by Borrower to Lender, Borrower hereby pledges to Lender and
gives Lender a continuing security interest in and general Lien upon and right
of set-off against, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the
Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower.

             (b) Except as herein or by applicable law otherwise expressly
provided, Lender shall not be obligated to exercise any degree of care in
connection with any Collateral in its possession, to take any steps necessary to
preserve any rights in any of the Collateral or to preserve any rights therein
against prior parties, and Borrower agrees to take such steps. In any case
Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it shall have taken
such steps

                                     - 28 -

<PAGE>

for the care and preservation of the Collateral or rights therein as Borrower
may have reasonably requested Lender to take and Lender's omission to take any
action not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care. No segregation or specific allocation by Lender of specified
items of Collateral against any liability of Borrower shall waive or affect any
security interest in or Lien against other items of Collateral or any of
Lender's options, powers or rights under this Agreement or otherwise arising.

         9.2      Power of Attorney. Borrower authorizes Lender at Borrower's
expense to file any financing statements relating to the Collateral (without
Borrower's signature thereon) which Lender deems appropriate and Borrower
irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute any such
financing statements in Borrower's name and to perform all other acts which
Lender deems appropriate to perfect and to continue perfection of the security
interest of Lender. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact to endorse, present and collect on behalf of Borrower and in
Borrower's name any draft, checks or other documents necessary or desirable to
collect any amounts, which Borrower may be owed. To the extent permitted by
applicable law or by the terms of any such licenses or franchise agreements,
Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade
secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any Property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and
selling any Collateral, and Borrower's rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to Lender's benefit. The proceeds realized from
the sale or other disposition of any Collateral may be applied, after allowing
two (2) Business Days for collection, first to the reasonable costs, expenses
and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Lender for collection and for
acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and delivering of
the Collateral; secondly, to interest due upon any of the Indebtedness; and
thirdly, to the principal amount of the Indebtedness. If any deficiency shall
arise, Borrower shall remain liable to Lender therefore.

         9.3      Entry. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to any act by
Lender or its agents in entering upon any premises for the purposes of either
(i) inspecting the Collateral or (ii) taking possession of the Collateral and
Borrower hereby waives its right to assert against Lender or its agents any
claim based upon trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any
premises where the Collateral may be located.

         9.4      Other Rights. Borrower authorizes Lender without affecting
Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document from time to
time (i) to take from any party and hold additional Collateral or guaranties for
the payment of the Indebtedness or any other supporting obligations or any part
thereof, and to exchange, enforce or release such collateral or guaranty of
payment of the Indebtedness or any other supporting obligation or any part
thereof and to release or substitute any endorser or guarantor or any party who
has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of
the Indebtedness or any part thereof or any party in any way obligated to pay
the Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (ii) upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of any Event of Default to direct the manner of the disposition
of the Collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements, guaranties, letters
of

                                     - 29 -

<PAGE>

credit or other security relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as
Lender in its sole discretion may determine.

         9.5      Accounts. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Lender may notify any Account Debtor of Lender's security
interest and may direct such Account Debtor to make payment directly to Lender
for application against the Indebtedness. Any such payments received by or on
behalf of Borrower at any time, whether before or after default, shall be the
property of Lender, shall be held in trust for Lender and not commingled with
any other assets of any Person (except to the extent they may be commingled with
other assets of Borrower in an account with Lender) and shall be immediately
delivered to Lender in the form received. Lender shall have the right to apply
any proceeds of Collateral to such of the Indebtedness as it may determine.

         9.6      Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right it may
have to require marshaling of its assets.

10       MISCELLANEOUS.

         10.1     No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure on the part of
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided by law, any Loan
Document or otherwise.

         10.2     Survival of Representations. All representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the making of the Loan hereunder and the
delivery of the Revolving Credit Note and all Equipment Notes, and shall
continue in full force and effect so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding,
there exists any commitment by Lender to Borrower, and until this Agreement is
formally terminated in writing.

         10.3     Indemnity By Borrower; Expenses. In addition to all other
Indebtedness, Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless
Lender and its Affiliates and all of their respective officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, consultants and agents from and against any and all
losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' and paralegals' fees, costs and
expenses) incurred by such indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the
date hereof, as a result of or arising from or relating to (i) the due diligence
effort (including, without limitation, public record search, recording fees,
examinations and investigations of the properties of Borrower and Borrower's
operations), negotiation, preparation, execution and/or performance of any of
the Loan Documents or of any document executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby and the perfection of Lender's Liens in the
Collateral, maintenance of the Loan by Lender, and any and all amendments,
modifications, and supplements of any of the Loan Documents or restructuring of
the Indebtedness, (ii) any suit, investigation, action or proceeding

                                     - 30 -

<PAGE>

by any Person (other than Borrower), whether threatened or initiated, asserting
a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any Person under any statute,
regulation or common law principle, arising from or in connection with Lender's
furnishing of funds to Borrower under this Agreement, (iii) Lender's
preservation, administration and enforcement of its rights under the Loan
Documents and applicable law, including the reasonable fees of the outstanding
Indebtedness as attorneys fees if collected by or through an attorney at law and
disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection therewith, whether suit be
brought or not and whether incurred at trial or on appeal, and all costs of
repossession, storage, disposition, protection and collection of Collateral,
(iv) periodic field exams, audits and appraisals performed by Lender as provided
in Section 5.5; and/or (v) any matter relating to the financing transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents or by any document execution in connection
with the transactions contemplated thereby, other than for such loss, damage,
liability, obligation, penalty, fee, cost or expense arising from such
indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Borrower should fail to
pay any tax or other amount required by this Agreement to be paid or which may
be reasonably necessary to protect or preserve any Collateral or Borrower's or
Lender's interests therein, Lender may make such payment and the amount thereof
shall be payable on demand, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the
date of demand until paid and shall be deemed to be Indebtedness entitled to the
benefit and security of the Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay
and save Lender harmless against any liability for payment of any state
documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes or similar taxes (including interest
or penalties, if any) which may now or hereafter be determined to be payable in
respect to the execution, delivery or recording of any Loan Document or the
making of any Loan, whether originally thought to be due or not, and regardless
of any mistake of fact or law on the part of Lender or Borrower with respect to
the applicability of such tax. Borrower's obligation for indemnification for all
of the foregoing losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees,
costs and expenses of Lender shall be part of the Indebtedness, secured by the
Collateral, chargeable against Borrower's loan account, and shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

Note to any party hereto or thereto shall be by hand delivery, overnight

         10.5     Governing Law. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be
deemed contracts made under the laws of the State of Connecticut and shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of said state (excluding
its conflict of laws provisions if such provisions would require application of
the laws of another jurisdiction) except insofar as the laws of another
jurisdiction may, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, govern the
perfection, priority and enforcement of security interests in the Collateral.

         10.6     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender, and their respective
successors and assigns; provided that Borrower may not assign any of its rights
hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment
made without such consent will be void.

         10.7     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of
which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

         10.8     No Usury. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement,
the Note or in any other Loan Document, if for any reason the effective interest
should exceed the maximum lawful interest, the effective interest shall be
deemed reduced to, and shall be, such maximum lawful interest, and (i) the
amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Note and not to the payment of
interest, and (ii) if the loan evidenced by the Note has been or is thereby paid
in full, the excess shall be returned to the party paying same, such application
to the principal balance of the Note or the refunding of excess to be a complete
settlement and acquittance thereof.

         10.9     Powers. All powers of attorney granted to Lender are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable.

         10.10    Approvals. If this Agreement calls for the approval or consent
of Lender, such approval or consent may be given or withheld in the discretion
of Lender unless otherwise specified herein.

                                     - 32 -

<PAGE>

         10.11    No Punitive Damages. Each party agrees that it shall not have
a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against the other in any dispute and
hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages it may have
now or which may arise in the future in connection with any dispute.

         10.12    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by
jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating
to this agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no
representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly
or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek
to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other
parties hereto have been induced to enter into this agreement by, among other
things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.12.

         10.13    Participations. Lender shall have the right to enter into one
or more participation with other lenders with respect to the Indebtedness. Upon
prior notice to Borrower of such participation, Borrower shall thereafter
furnish to such participant any information furnished by Borrower to Lender
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall prohibit Lender from pledging or assigning this
Agreement and Lender's rights under any of the other Loan Documents, including
collateral therefore, to any Federal Reserve Lender in accordance with
applicable law.

         10.14    Dealings with Multiple Borrowers. If more than one Person is
named as Borrower hereunder, all Indebtedness, representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnities set forth in the Loan Documents to which such Person
is a party shall be joint and several. Lender shall have the right to deal with
any individual of any Borrower with regard to all matters concerning the rights
and obligations of Lender hereunder and pursuant to applicable law with regard
to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents. All actions or
inactions of the officers, managers, members and/or agents of any Borrower with
regard to the transactions contemplated under the Loan Documents shall be deemed
with full authority and binding upon all Borrowers hereunder. Each Borrower
hereby appoints each other Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact,
with full right and power, for purposes of exercising all rights of such Person
hereunder and under applicable law with regard to the transactions contemplated
under the Loan Documents. The foregoing is a material inducement to the
agreement of Lender to enter into the terms hereof and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         10.15    Waiver of Certain Defenses. All rights of Lender and all
obligations of Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to any departure from any provision of the Loan
Documents, (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral
given as security for the Indebtedness, or any release or amendment or waiver of
or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Indebtedness, or
(iii) any other circumstance which might otherwise

                                     - 33 -

<PAGE>

constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any third
party, other than payment and performance in full of the Indebtedness.

         10.16    Connecticut Prejudgment Remedy Waiver. Borrower acknowledges
that the transactions represented by this agreement are commercial transactions
and hereby voluntarily and knowingly waives any rights to notice of and hearing
on prejudgment remedies under chapter 903c of the Connecticut general statutes
or other statutes affecting prejudgment remedies and authorizes the bank's
attorney to issue a write for a prejudgment remedy without court order, provided
the complaint shall set forth a copy of this waiver.
