AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

Section 2.1 The Revolving Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may, from time to time, request that the Lender advance loans hereunder and Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may, from time to time, elect to advance such loans in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in minimum increments of $250,000 above the $1,000,000 minimum, or if the Unused Facility Amount is less than $1,000,000, then in an amount equal to the Unused Facility Amount (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Maturity Date of the Facility Limit in an amount for each such Revolving Loan not to exceed the Unused Facility Amount on such Business Day. Within the limits of the Unused Facility Amount, the Borrower may request Revolving Loans under this Section 2.1, repay all or a portion of outstanding Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, and request to re-borrow Revolving Loans under this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loans; Certain Conditions; the Revolving Loan Note.

(a) Notices of Borrowing. Requests for Revolving Loans may be made only once per Business Day and shall be made on notice, given by the Borrower to the Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time) on the proposed Drawdown Date or in the event of a LIBOR Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Hartford, Connecticut time) two (2) days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date. Each such notice (which notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower) of a proposed borrowing (each, a “Revolving Loan Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by facsimile or telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or by telex, telecopier or other electronic mode of communication, specifying the proposed Drawdown Date (which shall be a Business Day), the amount to be borrowed (which shall be requested in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in minimum increments of $250,000 above the $1,000,000 minimum, or if the Unused Facility Amount is less than $1,000,000, then in an amount equal to the Unused Facility Amount) and if such Revolving Loan is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Lender shall within twenty four (24) hours after its receipt of a Revolving Loan Note of Borrowing inform the Borrower whether it elects to advance the requested Revolving Loan. In the event that written confirmation of a telephonic Revolving Loan Notice of Borrowing differs in any respect from the action taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall control absent manifest error. Subject to the fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III hereof, if the Lender elects to advance the requested Revolving Loan, the Lender will, on the Drawdown Date, make the requested Revolving Loan in immediately available funds by crediting the amount thereof to an operating account of the Borrower maintained with the Lender as requested by the Borrower or as the Borrower may otherwise direct in writing.

(b) The Revolving Loan Note, Evidence of Debt. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, the Revolving Loan Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to record on the Revolving Loan Note or in its internal computerized records (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan, and (ii) the amount of any principal or interest received by the Lender on account of the Revolving Loans, which recordation shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence as to the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Revolving Loans and shall be considered correct and binding on the Borrower; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or any error therein shall not in any manner limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or the Revolving Loan Note, including without limitation, its obligation to repay the Revolving Loans in accordance with their terms.

Section 2.3 Method of Payment, Direct Debits, Payment Date Adjustments, Application of Payments.

(a) Method of Payment. The Borrower shall make each payment due under this Agreement and under the Note to the Lender at the Head Office not later than 3:00 P.M., Hartford, Connecticut time, on the date when due in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff, defense or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.

(b) Payment Date Adjustments. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Prime Rate Loan shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, any LIBOR Loan shall be due on a day which is not a London Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding London Business Day unless such London Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding London Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest and fees thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(c) Application of Payments. All payments by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Lender (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payments will be applied to the Obligations in such manner and order of priority as the Lender determines in its sole discretion.

Section 2.4 Use of Proceeds.

The Borrower represents that the proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used to fund the Borrower’s general working capital purposes and other business purposes in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business.

Section 2.5 Demand Facility; Repayment.

All Revolving Loans shall at the option of the Lender be payable immediately upon demand by the Lender. All Revolving Loan advances shall be due and payable within forty-five (45) days of the date of the advance unless demand for repayment shall be made sooner.

Section 2.6 Interest Rates.

(a) Pre-default Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(e) hereof, during the period commencing from the Drawdown Date made through and including the date of payment in full, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum selected by the Borrower equal to either: (x) the Prime Rate, on a floating basis, or (y) the LIBOR Rate (as determined for each available Interest Period) plus the Applicable Margin for available Interest Periods of seven days or thirty (30) days.

(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (whether or not the Lender has accelerated payment of any or all Obligations) or after maturity (by acceleration or otherwise) or after judgment has been rendered on any Obligations, the Borrower’s right to select pricing options pursuant to Section 2.6(a) shall cease and interest on all outstanding Revolving Loans, and interest on all payments of interest on such

Revolving Loans that are not paid when due, shall accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate (the “Default Rate”).

(c) Calculation of Interest, Interest Rate Changes. Interest on each Revolving Loan and on any per annum fee charged hereunder which is not paid when due shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as applicable, with respect to each Prime Rate Loan, and a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed with respect to each LIBOR Loan. With respect to each Prime Rate Loan, any change in the interest rate because of a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective, without notice or demand, immediately upon any change in the Prime Rate. With respect to the LIBOR Loans, any change in the interest rate because of a change in the Reserve Percentage shall become effective, without notice or demand, on the date on which such change in the Reserve Percentage becomes effective as to the LIBOR Loans.

(d) Payment of Interest.

(i) Prime Rate Loans. Interest on each Prime Rate Loan shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be payable monthly in arrears beginning on the first day of the month immediately succeeding the month of the Drawdown Date of such Prime Rate Loan, and continuing on the first day of each and every month thereafter, without notice or demand, so long as such Prime Rate Loan remains outstanding.

(ii) LIBOR Loans. Interest on each LIBOR Loan shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period.

(e) Lawful Interest. If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by Lender as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by Lender to Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.

Section 2.7 [Intentionally Deleted].

Section 2.8 Repayments and Prepayments .

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, at its option, repay or prepay any Revolving Loan, at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, in the case of repayments or prepayments in full, all fees, charges, costs, expenses and other amounts, if any, then due under any of the Revolving Loans being repaid or prepaid.

(b) Prepayment of LIBOR Loans, Payment of Yield Maintenance Fee. In the event, and on each occasion, that a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan is made, required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable with such LIBOR Loan, with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender any additional costs therefor in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof and shall also pay to the Lender the applicable Yield Maintenance Fee, if any.

Section 2.9 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any applicable law, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for the Lender to make or maintain the LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or Lender determines in good faith that there no longer exists a fair or adequate basis for determining the LIBOR Base Rate, then (a) the right of Borrower to request that the Lender make the LIBOR Loans or continue the LIBOR Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until the Lender shall notify the Borrower that the Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) the LIBOR Loans shall instead be made as, or shall be converted automatically, without notice, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or within such earlier period as required by law): to, with respect to Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Loans, loans bearing interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate. If any such conversion of the LIBOR Loans is made or required on a day that is not the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the Lender such amount or amounts as may be required pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof.

Section 2.10 Reserve Requirements, Change in Circumstances.

If Lender shall have determined in good faith after the date hereof that the applicability of any law regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law or in the interpretation or administration of any such law by any Governmental Authority, central bank, comparable agency or other Person charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender or Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, comparable agency or other Person, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company as a direct consequence of this Agreement or any of the Revolving Loans to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from time to time Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered as a result of Lender’s obligations to Borrower hereunder.

Section 2.11 Indemnity.

In the event, and on each occasion, of (a) a default by the Borrower in the payment of principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan then due and owing, (b) the making of a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan (whether such repayment is made pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, as a result of termination and/or acceleration following an Event of Default, or for any other reason) on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) any conversion of a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Sections 2.9 hereof on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender on demand, in addition to and not in lieu of additional costs and any other amount due hereunder, the required Yield Maintenance Fee.

Section 2.12 Obligations Absolute.

All of the Obligations shall (a) be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, (b) be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such other Loan Document under all circumstances, and (c) not be affected, modified, released, discharged or impaired, in whole or in part under any circumstances, irrespective of any circumstance or happening whatsoever, including without limitation,

Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(b) Provisional Remedies. No provision of this section shall limit the right of any party to this Agreement to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding.
