WHEREAS, Brookville acknowledges, through its execution of this Stipulation and Agreement, that it has an obligation under Section 36b-14(d) of the Act to keep its records open to examination by the Commissioner and a duty under Section 36b-31-14f of the Regulations to furnish access to all areas of its securities operations conducted on or off its premises and to otherwise facilitate any examination of its operations conducted by the Commissioner;

WHEREAS, Chapter 54 of the Connecticut General Statutes permits the resolution of a contested case by stipulation or agreed settlement;

WHEREAS, Brookville desires to settle the matters described herein and voluntarily enters into this Stipulation and Agreement, acknowledging that this Stipulation and Agreement is in lieu of any court action or administrative proceeding adjudicating any issue of fact or law on the matters described herein;

WHEREAS, Brook ville [sic], through its execution of this Stipulation and Agreement, voluntarily waives any rights it may have to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the terms and conditions of this Stipulation and Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HERETO DO MUTUALLY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

(1)
No later than the date this Stipulation and Agreement is executed by the Commissioner, Brookville shall remit to the department by check made payable to "Treasurer, State of Connecticut" the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000) which shall constitute an administrative fine;
  
(2)
Execution of this Stipulation and Agreement by the Commissioner is without prejudice to the right of the Commissioner to take enforcement action against Brookville based upon a violation of this Stipulation and Agreement or the basis for its entry if the Commissioner determines that compliance is not being observed with the terms hereof or if any representation made by Brookville and reflected herein is subsequently determined to be untrue; and
