Thread was being aborted Exception while creating large number of Sites in SharePoint 2013

Question

Hi All,
I am getting threading exception while creating a large extent of sites in SharePoint 2013. I am reading data from an excel file and then looping each row. The sites are creating for first two rows then i am getting exception. This code working fine in dev
server but not in UAT server. I tried with changing maxRequestLength in web.config but not working. And also followed the below link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928756
My code as follows-
private void CreateSites(DataRow dr)
            try
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite(OtherSiteCollection)) // I am creating sites in another site collection
                    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                            SPWeb newWeb = null;
                            SPWebTemplateCollection templates = site.RootWeb.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033);
                            SPWebTemplate template = (from SPWebTemplate m in
                                                          templates
                                                      where m.Title == "SiteTemplate"
                                                      select m).FirstOrDefault(); //Here i am using custom template
    string siteName = dr["Site Name"].ToString();
                            newWeb = web.Webs.Add(siteTitle, siteTitle, siteDescription, 1033, template, true, false); //Getting exception here.
                            newWeb.Update();
                            newWeb.Dispose();
            catch (Exception ex)
                lblMsg.Text = "Exception in create sites : " + ex.Message + ";" + ex.StackTrace + ";" + ex.ToString()
I am getting error as-

If you do this from a Console application, does it succeed?
