then,  and in any of said events, the unpaid remaining principal balance of this
indebtedness together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other
amounts due hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, at the option of
Lender  without  the necessity for demand or notice; and any failure to exercise

any  other  time. If any such default shall  occur, then, interest shall accrue,
on  and  after the first day of said default, for the period for which any  such
payment  was  due,  and  during  such  period  of five (5) days or other expired

deposits,  securities  or  other property held by the undersigned in a fiduciary

possession  or  control  may  be held and treated as collateral security for the
payment  of  this note, and Lender shall have a lien thereon and right to setoff
the  same  against  any  sums  due  hereunder.

          Notwithstanding  any  provisions  of  this Note, in the event that the
rate  of  interest  charged  hereunder shall at any time exceed the maximum rate
allowed  by  law,  the interest rate payable hereunder shall be deemed to be the
maximum  rate  allowed  by  law  and  any payments in excess of the maximum rate
allowed  by  law  shall  be  deemed  principal  payments and applied against the
principal  balance  hereof.

time  until  all  the  Collateral is sold, or until the debts hereby secured are
paid  in full. Holder shall receive the proceeds of such sale or sales and shall
apply  those  proceeds in the order stipulated in the relevant provisions of the
Connecticut  Uniform  Commercial Code. If this Note is placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection or is collected in whole or in part through any judicial
or  arbitrial  proceedings,  Obligor  agrees to pay Holder's attorney's fees and
