Section 12.2. Waivers.

Section 12.2.1. In General. Borrower waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect both to the Obligations and the Collateral, Borrower assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor, to the acceptance of partial payments thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as CII may deem advisable in its sole and absolute discretion.

CII may exercise its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral without resorting or regard to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for liability. CII shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver be in writing and signed by CII. No delay or omission on the part of CII in exercising any right or remedy shall

operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any subsequent enforcement by CII. All rights and remedies of CII with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE TRANSACTION OF WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS A PART IS A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION AND HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO NOTICE AND HEARING UNDER CHAPTER 903a OF THE CONNECTICUT GENERAL STATUTES OR BY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WHICH CII MAY DESIRE TO USE.
