In addition to the outstanding advances, the Bank also has access to an unused line of credit with the FHLBB amounting to $8.0 million at September 30, 2011.  Under agreement with the FHLBB, the Bank is required to maintain qualified collateral, free and clear of liens, pledges, or encumbrances that, based on certain percentages of book and fair values, has a value equal to the aggregate amount of the line of credit and outstanding advances.  The FHLBB maintains a security interest in various assets of the Corporation including, but not limited to, residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgages and other commercial loans, U.S. government agency securities, U.S. government-sponsored enterprise securities, and amounts maintained on deposit at the FHLBB.  The Corporation maintained qualified collateral in excess of the amount required to collateralize the line of credit and outstanding advances at September 30, 2011.  Included in the collateral were securities available for sale with a fair value of $282 million and $274 million, respectively, which were specifically pledged to secure FHLBB borrowings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  See Note 5 for discussion on loans pledged as collateral for FHLBB borrowings.  Unless there is an event of default under the agreement, the Corporation may use, encumber or dispose any portion of the collateral in excess of the amount required to secure FHLBB borrowings, except for that collateral which has been specifically pledged.
