("Arrowhead"), a national insurance program manager and one of the largest managing general agents ("MGA") in the property and casualty insurance industry. The aggregate purchase price for Arrowhead was $580,767,000, including $397,531,000 of cash payments, the assumption of $178,904,000 of liabilities and $4,332,000 of recorded earn-out payables.

On January 9, 2012, in conjunction with the Arrowhead acquisition, the Company entered into: (1) an amended and restated revolving and term loan credit agreement (the "SunTrust Agreement") with SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust") that provided for (a) a $100.0 million term loan (the "SunTrust Term Loan") and (b) a $50.0 million revolving line of credit (the "SunTrust Revolver") and (2) a $50.0 million promissory note (the "JPM Note") in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), pursuant to a letter agreement executed by JP Morgan (together with the JPM Note, the "JPM Agreement") that provided for a $50.0 million uncommitted line of credit bridge facility (the "JPM Bridge Facility"). The SunTrust Term Loan, the SunTrust Revolver and the JPM Bridge Facility were each funded on January 9, 2012, and provided the financing for the acquisition. The SunTrust Agreement amends and restates the Prior Loan Agreement.

The maturity date for the SunTrust Term Loan and the SunTrust Revolver is December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be due. Both the SunTrust Term Loan and the SunTrust Revolver may be increased by up to $50.0 million (bringing the total available for each to $150.0 million for the SunTrust Term Loan and $100.0 million for the SunTrust Revolver, respectively). The calculation of interest and fees for the SunTrust Agreement is generally based on the Company's funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. Interest is charged at a rate equal to 1.00% to 1.40% above LIBOR or 1.00% below the Base Rate. Fees include an up-front fee, an availability fee of 0.175% to 0.25%, and a letter of credit margin fee of 1.00% to 1.40%. Initially, until the Company's March 31, 2012 quarter end, the applicable margin for LIBOR advances is 1.00%, the availability fee is 0.175%, and the letter of credit margin fee is 1.00%. The obligations under the SunTrust Term Loan and SunTrust Revolver are unsecured and the SunTrust Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers and that are substantially similar to those contained in the Prior Loan Agreement.

The maturity date for the JPM Bridge Facility was February 3, 2012, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest would have been due. Interest was charged at a rate equal to the CB Floating Rate. The JPM Bridge Facility was unsecured and included various agreements, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers.

On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the "JPM Agreement") with JPMorgan that provided for a $100.0 million term loan (the "JPM Term Loan"). The JPM Term Loan was fully funded on January 26, 2012, and provided the financing to fully repay (1) JPM Bridge Facility and (2) SunTrust Revolver. As a result of the January 26, 2012 financing and repayments, the JPM Bridge Facility has been terminated and the SunTrust Revolver's amount outstanding was brought to zero prior to making subsequent advances thereunder.

The maturity date for the JPM Term Loan is December 31, 2016, at which time all outstanding principal and unpaid interest will be due. Interest is charged at a rate equal to the Alternative Base Rate or 1.00% above the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Fees include an up-front fee. The obligations under the JPM Term Loan are unsecured and the JPM Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default that are customary for similar facilities for similar borrowers.
