No Lender’s obligation to make a Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make a Loan.

SECTION 2.4. Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make or continue its Loan hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such Loan; provided that such Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.

SECTION 2.5. Notes. Each Lender’s Loan under its Commitment shall be evidenced by a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the original Commitment Amount. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loan evidenced thereby, provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower.

ARTICLE III

REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

SECTION 3.1. Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall repay the Loans in fourteen equal semi-annual installments on the last day of each Interest Period, as set forth on Schedule II hereto.

In addition, the Borrower

(a) may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans; provided that

(i) any such prepayment shall be made pro rata among all Loans and applied in inverse order of maturity;

(ii) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least three Business Days (or, if such prepayment is to be made on the last day of an Interest Period for the Loans, two Business Days) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; and

(iii) all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and a multiple of $1,000,000 (or the remaining amount of the Loans being prepaid); and

(b) shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 or the mandatory repayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2, repay all Loans.

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4, provided that any prepayment under this Agreement shall be made subject to payment by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the FEC Counterparty) of any FEC Break Costs on written demand by the FEC Counterparty, which demand shall set forth the amount of the FEC Break Costs and reasonably detailed calculations thereof.

SECTION 3.2. Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.2.

SECTION 3.2.1. Rates. (a) At all times while the FEC Interest Equalization is in effect, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loans at a rate per annum during each Interest Period equal to the sum of the FEC CIRR Rate plus the CIRR Applicable Margin.

(b) At all times while the FEC Interest Equalization is not in effect, the Borrower shall pay interest on the Loans at a rate per annum during each Interest Period equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the LIBO Applicable Margin.

(c) All Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Loan.

SECTION 3.2.2. Post-Maturity Rates. After the date any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether on the maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of the Borrower shall have become due and payable, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts for each day during the period of such default at a rate per annum certified by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which certification shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) to be equal to the sum of (a) the rate of interest applicable to Loans at such time pursuant to Section 3.2.1 above plus (c) 2% per annum.

SECTION 3.2.3. Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(a) on the Stated Maturity Date therefor;

(b) on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan (but only on the principal so paid or prepaid);

(d) on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any Note after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 3.2.4. Interest Rate Determination; Replacement Reference Lenders. Each Reference Lender agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the LIBO Rate in the event that no offered quotation appears on Telerate Page 3750 and the LIBO Rate is to be determined by reference to quotations supplied by the Reference Lenders. If any one or more of the Reference Lenders shall fail to furnish in a timely manner such information to the Administrative Agent for any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of the information furnished by the remaining Reference Lenders (provided, that, if all of the Reference Lenders other than the Administrative Agent fail to supply the relevant quotations, the interest rate will be fixed by reference only to the quotation obtained by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Reference Lender). If a Reference Lender ceases for any reason to be able and willing to act as such, the Administrative Agent shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders and after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a replacement for such Reference Lender reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, and such replaced Reference Lender shall cease to be a Reference Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall furnish to the Borrower and to the Lenders each determination of the LIBO Rate made by reference to quotations of interest rates furnished by Reference Lenders.

SECTION 3.2.5. Interest Indemnity. If Section 3.2.1(a) applies and the interest rate received by the Lenders (or by the FEC Counterparty or the Administrative Agent on their behalf) under the Loan Documents (taking into account any interest payment (including, without limitation, the IEA Margin) made by FEC pursuant to the FEC Interest Equalization) is less than the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the sum of the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the CIRR Applicable Margin plus the IEA Margin (such rate per annum being the “Contracted Rate”), then the Borrower will fully indemnify each Lender on demand by the Administrative Agent to the extent of what such Lender would have received by applying the Contracted Rate, but only to the extent that there is no duplication with any other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.3. Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and FEC a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fees”) on the average daily unused portion of the Commitment Amount, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Closing Date, as set forth below:

(a) The Commitment Fees payable to the Lenders shall be payable by the Borrower on the Closing Date and shall be in an amount equal to the product of 0.15% per annum, multiplied by the average daily unused portion of the Commitment Amount, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed from the date that is 15 days after the Effective Date to the Closing Date, divided by 360. Each payment of Commitment Fee to the Lenders shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent on the basis of each Lender’s Percentage of the unused portion of the Commitment Amount for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) The Commitment Fee payable to FEC shall be payable by the Borrower on the Closing Date and shall be in an amount equal to the product of 0.10% per annum, multiplied by the average daily unused portion of the Commitment Amount, multiplied by the actual number of days elapsed from the date this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Borrower to the Closing Date, divided by 360.

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Lender asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan bearing interest at a rate based on the LIBO Rate shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender, forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that such Lender’s obligation to make, continue and maintain its Loan hereunder shall be automatically converted into an obligation to make, continue and maintain a Loan bearing interest at a rate to be negotiated between such Lender and the Borrower that is the equivalent of the sum of the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period plus the LIBO Applicable Margin or, if such negotiated rate is not agreed upon by the Borrower and such Lender within fifteen Business Days, a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect plus the LIBO Applicable Margin.

SECTION 4.2. Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to the Reference Lenders in their relevant market; or

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting the Reference Lenders’ relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans,

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice of such determination (hereinafter called a “Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and each of the Lenders. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall then negotiate in good faith in order to agree upon a mutually satisfactory interest rate to be substituted for those which would otherwise have applied under this Agreement. If the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are unable to agree upon an interest rate (or rates) prior to the date occurring fifteen Business Days after the giving of such Determination Notice, the interest rate to take effect at the end of the Interest Period current at the date of the Determination Notice shall be equal to the sum of the LIBO Applicable Margin plus the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

SECTION 4.3. Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. If a change in any applicable treaty, law, regulation or regulatory requirement or in the interpretation thereof or in its application to the Borrower, or if compliance by any Lender with any applicable direction,

request, requirement or guideline (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or other authority insofar as it may be changed or imposed after the date hereof, shall:

(a) subject any Lender to any taxes, levies, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings of any nature with respect to its Commitment or any part thereof (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), with respect to any payment made or received pursuant to the Loan Documents) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (other than taxation on overall net income and, to the extent such taxes are described in Section 4.6, withholding taxes); or

(b) change the basis of taxation to any Lender (other than a change in taxation on the overall net income of such Lender) of payments of principal or interest or any other payment due or to become due pursuant to this Agreement (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), the Loan Documents); or

(c) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve or capital adequacy requirements (other than the reserve costs described in Section 4.7) or other banking or monetary controls or requirements which affect the manner in which a Lender shall allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), under the Loan Documents) or require the making of any special deposits against or in respect of any assets or liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, any Lender (provided that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by law, allocate its capital resources to its obligations hereunder in a manner which is consistent with its present treatment of the allocation of its capital resources); or

(d) impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its Commitment (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), it obligations under the Loan Documents),

and the result of any of the foregoing is either (i) to increase the cost to such Lender of making its Loan or maintaining its Commitment or any part thereof (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), performing its obligations under or in connection with the Loan Documents) , (ii) to reduce the amount of any payment received by such Lender or its effective return hereunder or on its capital or (iii) to cause such Lender to make any payment or to forego any return based on any amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then and in any such case if such increase or reduction in the opinion of such Lender materially affects the interests of such Lender, (A) the Lender concerned shall (through the Administrative Agent) notify the Borrower of the occurrence of such event and use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the effects of such law, regulation or regulatory requirement or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (B) the Borrower shall forthwith upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such amount as is necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction and ancillary expenses, including taxes, incurred as a result of such adjustment. Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the event leading to such additional cost,

together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such additional cost, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is the Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions, and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstance is of general application to the commercial banking industry in such Lender’s jurisdiction of organization or in the relevant jurisdiction in which such Lender does business. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such cost or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 4.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan as a result of:

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of an Interest Period, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise; or

(b) any Loans not being made in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor due to the fault of the Borrower or as a result of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article V not being satisfied,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, within five Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall include calculations in reasonable detail setting forth the loss or expense to such Lender.

SECTION 4.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loan made by such Lender (or in the case of the FEC Counterparty for purposes of Section 11.4(b), its obligations under the Loan Documents) is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such change in circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender additional amounts

sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Any such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the capital adequacy requirements which have been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the amount of such lowered return, (iii) describe the manner in which such amount has been calculated, (iv) certify that the method used to calculate such amount is such Lender’s standard method of calculating such amount, (v) certify that such request for such additional amounts is consistent with its treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (vi) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such change in circumstances is of general application to the commercial banking industry in the jurisdictions in which such Lender does business. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall, subject to the foregoing sentence, deem applicable. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid such reduction in such rate of return and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, but not more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

SECTION 4.6. Taxes. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income or receipts of such Lender and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes or receipts, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or any other jurisdiction unless such net income taxes are imposed solely as a result of the Borrower’s activities in such other jurisdiction (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will:

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the FEC Counterparty such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the FEC Counterparty will equal the full amount such Lender or the FEC Counterparty would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the FEC Counterparty with respect to any payment received or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the FEC Counterparty hereunder or under or in connection with any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the FEC Counterparty may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

Any Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or, in the case of the FEC Counterparty but subject to the approval of FEC if the FEC Interest Equalization is then in effect, its location of operations, if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Person, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Person.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders or the FEC Counterparty, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders and the FEC Counterparty for any incremental withholding Taxes, interest or penalties or expenses that may become payable by any Lender or the FEC Counterparty as a result of any such failure (so long as such amount did not become payable as a result of the failure of such Lender or the FEC Counterparty to provide timely notice to the Borrower of the assertion of a liability related to the payment of Taxes). For purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the FEC Counterparty to or for the account of any Lender or the FEC Counterparty shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

If any Lender or the FEC Counterparty is entitled to any refund, credit, deduction or other reduction in tax by reason of any payment made by the Borrower in respect of any tax under this Section 4.6 or by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.3, such Lender or the FEC Counterparty shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such refund, credit, deduction or other reduction and, promptly after receipt thereof (and, in the case of any such credit, utilization thereof), will pay to the Borrower such amount (plus any interest received by such Lender or the FEC Counterparty in connection with such refund, credit, deduction or reduction) as is equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender or the FEC Counterparty of such part of such refund, credit, deduction or reduction as such Lender or the FEC Counterparty reasonably determines is allocable to such tax or such payment, less out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender or the FEC Counterparty, provided that no Lender or the FEC Counterparty shall be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations.

Each Lender (and each Participant) that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States agrees with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it will (a) provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower an appropriately executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that any payments made to or for the benefit of such Lender or such Participant are effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States (or, alternatively, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, but only if the applicable treaty described in such form provides for a complete exemption from U.S. federal income tax withholding), or any successor form, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee Lender or Participant, on or prior to the date of the relevant assignment or participation), and (b) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower if the certifications made on any form provided pursuant to this paragraph are no longer accurate and true in all material respects. For any period with respect to which a Lender (or Participant) has failed to provide the Borrower with the foregoing forms (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required hereunder) such Lender (or Participant) shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Section 4.6 with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

SECTION 4.7. Reserve Costs. Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligations under Section 4.3, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period, so long as the relevant Lending Office of such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, upon notice from such Lender, an additional amount equal to the product of the following for each Loan for each day during such Interest Period:

(i) the principal amount of such Loan outstanding on such day; and

(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Loan for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less the LIBO Applicable Margin) and the denominator of which is one minus any increase after the Effective Date in the effective rate (expressed as a decimal) at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) 1/360.

Such notice shall (i) describe in reasonable detail the reserve requirement that has been imposed, together with the approximate date of the effectiveness thereof, (ii) set forth the applicable reserve percentage, (iii) certify that such request is consistent with such Lender’s treatment of other borrowers that are subject to similar provisions and (iv) certify that, to the best of its knowledge, such requirements are of general application in the commercial banking industry in the United States.

Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid the requirement of maintaining such reserves (including by designating a different Lending Office) if such efforts would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 4.8. Replacement Lenders, etc. If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 or 4.7, the Borrower shall be entitled at any time (so long as no Default and no Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing) within 180 days after receipt of notice from such Lender of such required payment to (a) terminate such Lender’s Commitment and such Lender’s right to receive any Commitment Fee accruing after such termination and that portion of the Commitment Amount represented by such Lender’s Commitment (whereupon the Percentages of each other Lender shall automatically be adjusted to an amount equal to each such Lender’s ratable share of the remaining Commitment Amount), (b) prepay the affected portion of such Lender’s Loan in full, together with accrued interest thereon through the date of such prepayment (provided that the Borrower shall not prepay any such Lender pursuant to this clause (b) without replacing such Lender pursuant to the following clause (c) until a 30-day period shall have elapsed during which the Borrower and the Agents shall have attempted in good faith to replace such Lender), and/or (c) replace such Lender with another bank reasonably acceptable to the Agents, provided that (i) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Assignee Lenders in an aggregate amount at least equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Borrower that, as of the date of this Agreement (or, with respect to any Lender not a party hereto on the date hereof, on the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto), there is no existing treaty, law, regulation, regulatory requirement, interpretation, directive, guideline, decision or request pursuant to which such Lender would be entitled to request any payments under any of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 to or for account of such Lender.

SECTION 4.9. Payments, Computations, etc. (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System (or such other funds as may be customary for the settlement of international banking transactions in Dollars), to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in any event on the same Business Day that the same are received or, as contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, deemed received) remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender without any setoff, deduction or counterclaim. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Whenever any payment to be made

shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

(b) Unless the FEC Counterparty shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by FEC, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower by 5:00 p.m., London time, on the day prior to the date an amount is to be paid to the FEC Counterparty under the Loan Documents that FEC, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower will not make available the amount required to be paid to the FEC Counterparty on the date specified therefor, the FEC Counterparty may assume that such Person has made such amount available to the FEC Counterparty and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Administrative Agent or FEC, as the case may be, a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Person shall not have made such amount available to the FEC Counterparty, such Person and the recipient of such amount severally agree to pay to the FEC Counterparty forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with an amount sufficient to indemnify the FEC Counterparty against any cost or loss it may have suffered or incurred by reason of its having paid out such amount prior to its receipt thereof and by reason of such amount and costs or losses not being paid to the FEC Counterparty forthwith upon demand.

(c) On receipt of any payment from FEC under or in connection with the FEC Interest Equalization Documents in respect of interest, the FEC Counterparty shall, subject to Section 4.9(b), be obliged to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the sole purpose of enabling the Borrower to satisfy its payment obligations under this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, under Section 3.2.5. The FEC Counterparty shall make such amount available to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders) for same day value by transfer to such account as the Administrative Agent may from time to time notify the FEC Counterparty. On receipt of such amount from the FEC Counterparty, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Lenders the portion of such amount which is to be paid to the Lenders.

(d) If the FEC Counterparty notifies the Administrative Agent that the FEC Counterparty is obliged to make a cash payment to FEC under the FEC Interest Equalization Documents (the “FEC Payment Amount”) by virtue of the FEC CIRR Rate and any other amount (including, without limitation, amounts paid in respect of withholding taxes) payable by the FEC Counterparty exceeding the sum of the LIBO Rate and the IEA Margin payable by FEC under the FEC Interest Equalization Documents, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably direct the Administrative Agent, on receipt of the corresponding interest payment from the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.2 and subject to Section 4.9(b), to make available to the FEC Counterparty for same day value by transfer to such account as the FEC Counterparty may from time to time notify to the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the FEC Payment Amount due to FEC under or in connection with the FEC Interest Equalization Documents.

(e) The FEC Counterparty shall make all payments to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the Lenders) or FEC under this Agreement free and clear of any deduction or withholding except for any that may be required by law. The FEC Counterparty shall have no obligation to increase any payment made by it under this Agreement in the event of any withholding or deduction being required by law to be made by it in respect of such payments.

SECTION 4.10. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 4.11. Setoff. Upon the occurrence and during continuance of an Event of Default or Prepayment Event, each Lender shall have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.10. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 4.12. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall apply the proceeds of each Borrowing in accordance with the third recital; without limiting the foregoing, no proceeds of any Loan will be used to acquire any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any “margin stock”, as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENTS

SECTION 10.1. Actions. Each Lender and the FEC Counterparty hereby appoints Citibank, and insofar as the other Agents have duties under this Agreement, each other Agent, as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document (other than, in the case of the FEC Counterparty, the FEC Interest Equalization Documents). Each Lender and the FEC Counterparty authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender and the FEC Counterparty under this Agreement, the Notes and each other Loan Document (other than, in the case of the FEC Counterparty, the FEC Interest Equalization Documents) and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders or the FEC Counterparty, as applicable, received from time to time by the Administrative Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Administrative Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that be incurred by or asserted or awarded against, the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses which have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or

willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any such indemnified costs, this Section applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or a third party. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, unless it is expressly required to do so under this Agreement or is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be or become, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION 10.2. Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the day prior to the Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising the Borrowing.

SECTION 10.3. Exculpation. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note a the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts a Lender Assignment Agreement entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Assignee Lender as provided in Section 11.11.1; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it and in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower or the existence at any time of any Default or Prepayment Event or to

inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by action upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 10.4. Successor. Any Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders, provided that any such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Agent for such resigning Agent has been appointed as provided in this Section 10.4 and such successor Agent has accepted such appointment (provided that no successor Agent shall be appointed for any Agent, other than the Administrative Agent, if after giving effect to such Agent’s resignation there would still be two Agents). If any Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders shall, subject to the immediately preceding proviso and subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint another Lender as a successor to such Agent which shall thereupon become such Agent’s successor hereunder (provided that, in the case of a resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall, subject to the consent of the Borrower unless an Event or Default or a Prepayment Event shall have occurred and be continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) offer to each of the other Agents in turn, in the order of their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective Loans), the right to become successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Agent for any resigning Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or, in the case of a resigning Administrative Agent, a commercial banking institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies), subject, in each case, to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive from the resigning Administrative Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of:

(a) this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; and

(b) Section 11.3 and Section 11.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

If a Lender acting as an Agent assigns its Loan to one of its Affiliates, such Agent may, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) assign its rights and obligations as Agent to such Affiliate.

SECTION 10.5. Loans by the Agents. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to (x) the Loan made by it or any of its Affiliates, and (y) the Note held by it

or any of its Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an Agent. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. No Agent shall have any duty to disclose information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as an Agent.

SECTION 10.6. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 10.7. Copies, etc. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent (a) shall give prompt notice to the FEC Counterparty and FEC of any approvals of FEC requested by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) shall provide the FEC Counterparty and FEC copies of (i) all amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and (ii) all information related to the Borrower requested by the FEC Counterparty or FEC to the extent such information is received from the Borrower and (c) shall give prompt notice to the FEC Counterparty and FEC of the termination of this Agreement and any prepayment of the Loans hereunder.

SECTION 10.8. Agency Fee; FEC Counterparty Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account an annual agency fee in an amount, and at such times, heretofore agreed to in writing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees to pay to the FEC Counterparty for its own account an annual fee in an amount, and at such times, heretofore agreed to in writing between the Borrower and the FEC Counterparty.

No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the FEC Counterparty in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the FEC Counterparty under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

Although the primary web portal is secured with a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System and the Platform is secured through a single user per deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, the Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform.

(c) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

SECTION 11.3. Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by counsel to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the FEC Counterparty harmless from all liability for, any stamp, recording, documentary or other similar taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder or the FEC Interest Equalization, or the issuance of the Notes or any other Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the FEC Counterparty upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the FEC Counterparty in connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (y) the enforcement of any Obligations or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the FEC Counterparty under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.4. Indemnification. (a) In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Lender and the FEC Counterparty and the extension of the Commitments, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the FEC Counterparty and each of their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement or the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (it being agreed for the avoidance of doubt that the same shall not include matters referred to in 11.4(b)) or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall (a) furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4(a), (b) not agree to any settlement or compromise of any such action, suit or claim without the Borrower’s prior consent, (c) shall cooperate fully in the Borrower’s defense of any such action, suit or other claim (provided, that the Borrower shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred pursuant hereto) and (d) at

the Borrower’s request, permit the Borrower to assume control of the defense of any such claim, other than regulatory, supervisory or similar investigations, provided that (i) the Borrower acknowledges in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the terms herein in connection with such claims, (ii) the Borrower shall keep the Indemnified Party fully informed with respect to the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iii) the Borrower shall consult in good faith with the Indemnified Party (from time to time and before taking any material decision) about the conduct of the defense of such claim, (iv) the Borrower shall conduct the defense of such claim properly and diligently taking into account its own interests and those of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Borrower shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense, and (vi) the Borrower shall not enter into a settlement with respect to such claim unless either (A) such settlement involves only the payment of a monetary sum, does not include any performance by or an admission of liability or responsibility on the part of the Indemnified Party, and contains a provision unconditionally releasing the Indemnified Party and each other indemnified party from, and holding all such persons harmless, against, all liability in respect of claims by any releasing party or (B) the Indemnified Party provides written consent to such settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action and the Borrower shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (1) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with an actual or potential conflict of interest, (2) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Borrower and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and determined that it is necessary to employ separate counsel in order to pursue such defenses (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on the Indemnified Party’s behalf), (3) the Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, or (4) the Borrower authorizes the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense. The Borrower acknowledges that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(b) The Borrower acknowledges that the FEC Counterparty has entered into the FEC Interest Equalization Documents pursuant to which the FEC Counterparty and FEC have agreed to an interest equalization in relation to the Loans.

Accordingly, the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the FEC Counterparty, FEC and their respective officers, advisors, directors and employees (collectively, the “FEC Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, FEC Break Costs and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any FEC Indemnitee (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case (i) arising out of or in connection with FEC or the FEC Counterparty’s execution, delivery and performance of the FEC Equalization Documents and (ii) for any other cost, loss or liability for which the FEC Counterparty is or may be liable to FEC or any third party in connection with the foregoing. Without limitation of the foregoing, if the FEC Counterparty shall become subject to increased costs or increased capital costs of the types described in Sections 4.3 and 4.5, the FEC Counterparty shall be entitled to payment from the Borrower under such Sections to the same extent that the FEC Counterparty would have been so entitled under such Sections as if it were a Lender (it being understood that specific references to the FEC Counterparty in Sections 4.3 and 4.5 are intended to address those requirements applicable to the FEC Counterparty that vary from those applicable to the Lenders, but are not to be construed to exempt the FEC Counterparty from any other requirements applicable to the Lenders under those Sections). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.4(b), the Borrower shall have no indemnification obligations to an FEC Indemnitee for any cost, loss or liability incurred by such FEC Indemnitee in connection with the circumstances described in (i) or (ii) above to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such FEC Indemnitee. Each FEC Indemnitee shall furnish the Borrower with prompt notice of any action, suit or other claim covered by this Section 11.4(b). Any claim for FEC Break Costs under this Section 11.4(b) shall set forth the amount of the FEC Break Costs and reasonably detailed calculations thereof.

SECTION 11.5. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 11.3 and 11.4, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.7. Headings. The various headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

SECTION 11.8. Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrower

and each Lender (or notice thereof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) shall have been received by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of any Lender, receipt of signature pages transmitted by facsimile) and notice thereof shall have been given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower and each Lender.

SECTION 11.9. Governing Law; Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

SECTION 11.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that:

(a) except to the extent permitted under Section 7.2.6, the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all Lenders; and

(b) the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to Section 11.11.

SECTION 11.11. Sale and Transfer of Loans and Note; Participations in Loans and Note. Each Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its Loan and Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 11.11.

SECTION 11.11.1. Assignments. Any Lender,

(i) with the written consents of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and which consent, in the case of the Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given in the absence of a written notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, on or before the fifth Business Day after receipt by the Borrower of such Lender’s request for consent, stating, in reasonable detail, the reasons why the Borrower proposes to withhold such consent) may at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions;

(ii) with notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, may assign and delegate (A) to any Lender, (B) to any of its Affiliates or (C) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Prepayment Event; and

(iii) may (without notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loan and Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the F.R.S. Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank;

(each Person described in either of the foregoing clauses as being the Person to whom such assignment and delegation is to be made, being hereinafter referred to as an “Assignee Lender”), all or any fraction of such Lender’s Loan and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s Loan and Commitment) in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or, if less, all of such Lender’s Loan and Commitment); provided that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee Lender until:

(a) written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee Lender, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and such Assignee Lender;

(b) Such Assignee Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement, accepted by the Administrative Agent; and

From and after the date that the Administrative Agent accepts such Lender Assignment Agreement, (x) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender in connection with such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (y) the assignor Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, other than any obligations arising prior to the effective date of such assignment. In no event shall the Borrower be required to pay to any Assignee Lender at the time of the relevant assignment any amount under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no such assignment been made. Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice that the Administrative Agent has received an executed Lender Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender) a new Note evidencing such Assignee Lender’s assigned Loan and Commitment and, if the assignor Lender has retained any portion of its Loan and a Commitment hereunder, a replacement Note in the principal amount of the portion of the Loan and Commitment retained by the assignor Lender hereunder (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, that Note then held by such assignor Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Note. The assignor Lender shall mark the predecessor Note “exchanged” and deliver it to the Borrower concurrently with the delivery by the Borrower of the new Note(s). Such assignor Lender or such Assignee Lender must also pay a processing fee to the Administrative Agent upon delivery of any Lender Assignment Agreement in the amount of $2,000 (and shall also reimburse the Administrative Agent for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the assignment).

SECTION 11.11.2. Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other

financial institutions being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Loan, its Commitment, or other interests of such Lender hereunder; provided that:

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 11.11 shall relieve such Lender from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

(b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations;

(c) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 11.1; and

(e) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and clause (h) of 7.1.1, shall be considered a Lender.

SECTION 11.12. Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Administrative Agent or any Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which the Borrower or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13. Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. THE BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT

IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY.

SECTION 11.14. Process Agent. If at any time the Borrower ceases to have a place of business in the United States, the Borrower shall appoint an agent for service of process (reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) located in New York City and shall furnish to the Administrative Agent evidence that such agent shall have accepted such appointment for a period of time ending no earlier than one year after the Stated Maturity Date.

SECTION 11.15. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
