of such Lender Party (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as determined by such Lender Party in good faith and in its sole discretion and as will leave such Lender Party in no worse position than it would be in if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Taxing Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon receipt of the written request of such Lender Party along with a certificate of such Lender Party certifying that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant Taxing Authority, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Taxing Authority) to such Lender Party in the event such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Taxing Authority. This Section 3.8 shall not be construed to require any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

3.9 Illegality . If it becomes unlawful under any Applicable Law for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund or maintain any Term Loan, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent upon becoming aware thereof, and (b) Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower thereof. For a period of 30 days following such notification, such Lender shall take the steps set forth in Section 3.10.1 and, to the extent such steps are not effective, Borrower, Administrative Agent and such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify a third party assignee of the Term Loans of such Lender; provided that, during such 30-day period, such Lender shall not be required to make any Advances. If the foregoing steps are not effective within such 30-day period, notwithstanding Section 3.12 or any other provision herein to the contrary, (i) the Commitment of such Lender shall be immediately cancelled and (ii) Borrower shall repay the Term Loans of such Lender (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees, breakage costs and charges payable in connection therewith (including pursuant to Section 3.7)) on the earlier of (A) the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date and (B) the date specified in writing by such Lender (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by Applicable Law).

3.10 Mitigation; Replacement of Lenders .

3.10.1 Mitigation . If (a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6, (b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, or (c) any Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.8, as applicable, in the future or allow such Lender to maintain or fund Term Loans, as applicable, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

36

3.10.2 Replacement of Lenders . If (a) any Lender requests compensation under 3.6, (b) Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.8, (c) any Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it has become unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Term Loan pursuant to Section 3.9 or (d) any Lender has become a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.7), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.8, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments to such new Lender. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

3.11 Payments Generally

3.11.1. Unless otherwise specified, Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 or otherwise) prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to Borrower by Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the event that the next succeeding Business Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, the immediately preceding Business Day), and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (a) principal or interest in respect of any Term Loan or (b) any other amount due hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by Administrative Agent

37

hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by Administrative Agent to make such payment. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) the Overnight LIBO Rate and (ii) a rate reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such sentence until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

3.12 Pro Rata Treatment . If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Administrative Agent from Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of principal, interest and fees then due from Borrower in a manner directed by Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes) and ratably among the parties entitled to such amounts.

3.13 Sharing of Set-off . If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this Section 3.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.13 shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower’s rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

There is no pending or threatened in writing audit or investigation by any Taxing Authority with respect to Borrower.

7.12.3 Pass-Through Entity . Borrower is, and has been since its formation, a Pass-Through Entity. Borrower is not subject to entity-level Tax for state, local or foreign income or franchise Tax purposes.

7.13 Federal Regulations . Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock.

50

Tax, penalty or other liabilities which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess in the present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plan), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, over the fair market value of the assets of such Plan could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, is zero. Borrower and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to any payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Finance Document, no Agent shall be required to take any action which is contrary to Applicable Law. An Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

11.3 Exculpatory Provisions . Neither an Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Finance Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Finance Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Finance Document or for the value, validity,

69

effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Finance Document or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Finance Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

11.4 Reliance by Agents . Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Term Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 12.7 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Finance Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans.

11.5 Indemnification . The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Proportionate Shares in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Term Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Proportionate Shares immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Finance Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

70

disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from an Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.6 Each Agent in its Individual Capacity . Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Term Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

11.7 Successor Agent . An Agent may resign as such upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If an Agent shall resign as such under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Hermes Agent”, as the case may be, means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s or Hermes Agent’s, as the case may be, rights, powers and duties as such shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and the other Finance Documents.

11.8 Withholding . To the extent required by any Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Taxing Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender Party (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Administrative Agent has paid over to the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority applicable withholding Tax relating to a payment to a Lender but no deduction has been made from such

71

payment, such Lender Party shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent, as Tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section 11.8, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lender Parties under this Section 11.8 shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

11.9 Notice of Default . No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent shall receive such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. An Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.10 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents .

11.10.1 Actions . Unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Required Lenders, Hermes Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall, by written notice to Hermes, issue demand notices and otherwise make claims for payment under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents if it is entitled to do so at such time pursuant thereto and shall exercise any and all rights and remedies available under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.

11.10.2 Compliance .

11.10.3 Each Lender hereby (a) acknowledges that it will review the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents promptly following the issuance thereof and will be familiar with the terms thereof and (b) agrees that it will cooperate with Hermes Agent and will itself take such actions and/or refrain from taking such actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure (i) compliance with the terms of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and (ii) the continuing validity of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the ability to make claims thereunder.

72

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received ( provided that any notice of Default or Event of Default provided by any Lender Party to Borrower shall be deemed given or made when dispatched by such Lender Party), addressed (a) in the case of Borrower and Agents, as follows, and (b) in the case of the Lenders, as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to Administrative Agent or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, in such Assignment and Acceptance, or (c) in the case of any party, to such other address as such party may hereafter notify to the other parties hereto:

73

12.2 Borrower’s Obligations Absolute . The obligation of Borrower to make payments hereunder and to observe and perform all of its other obligations under this Agreement are (subject to the terms of this Agreement) unconditional and irrevocable obligations of Borrower and accordingly shall not be conditional on performance by any Lender Party of any obligations save such as may be specified in this Agreement as required to be performed in order to give rise to a relevant obligation of Borrower thereunder. For certainty, Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditional upon, or in any way related to, performance by Equipment Supplier under the Equipment Supply Agreements.

12.3 Voting .

12.3.1 Voting and Non-Voting Lenders . Subject to Section 12.3.2, in each instance that Administrative Agent, Hermes Agent or the Lenders is or are required to cast a vote with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action in accordance with the Credit Documents and an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, a vote shall be taken among the Lenders within the period of time specified by Administrative Agent; provided however that no Non-Voting Lender shall be entitled to participate in any vote under this Agreement with respect to any Commitment or any Term Loan held by such Person. Each Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event that it is or becomes a Non-Voting Lender. The number of votes allocated to each Lender will be calculated based on its Proportionate Share.

12.3.2 Hermes-Directed Votes . In the event that Hermes Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that Hermes has requested, advised, instructed or required any Lender Party to vote in a certain manner or in favor of a certain result with respect to any consent, waiver, approval, determination, direction or other action or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action relating to the Credit Documents or an Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate, Hermes Agent shall promptly notify each other applicable Lender Party of such determination, and each such Lender Party shall, for all purposes hereunder and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (other than the proviso to this Section 12.3.2), be deemed as of the date indicated in such notification, to have cast its vote in such manner or in favor of such result, or to have otherwise consented to such action or inaction, and to have instructed Hermes Agent accordingly; provided however that such deemed vote, consent or instruction may be superseded by any actual vote, consent or instruction of all Lenders, and such superseding action of the Lenders shall take precedence over any such deemed action. Each Lender acknowledges that any such superseding action may cause the revocation or termination of the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents and the loss of any and all cover and other benefits thereunder. For certainty, the indemnity of Section 11.5 shall apply to any action or inaction of Hermes Agent taken in connection with any such superseding vote, consent or instruction of the Lenders, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Hermes Agent, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3.3 Determination of Voting Percentages . The percentage of Lenders consenting to, approving, waiving or providing direction with respect to a decision shall be calculated as a fraction (expressed as a percentage) (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of votes cast in favor of the proposed consent, approval, waiver, direction or other action and (b) the denominator of which shall be the total number of votes entitled to be cast with respect to such matter. In the event any Lender does not cast its votes within the period of time

specified by Administrative Agent, the vote of such Lender shall be excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the fraction described in the preceding sentence. Any Lender that does not cast its vote hereby, or is deemed to have cast its vote pursuant to Section 12.3.2, waives any and all rights it may have to object to or seek relief from the decision of the Lenders voting, or deemed to be voting, with respect to such issue and agrees to be bound by such decision. Nothing contained in this Section 12.3.3 shall preclude any Lender from participating in any re-voting or further voting relating to such matter (including pursuant to the proviso to Section 12.3.2).

12.4 Amendments or Waivers .

12.4.1 No Deemed Waiver .

The rights and remedies of the Lenders, Administrative Agent and Hermes Agent under the Finance Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Finance Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.4.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

12.4.2 Consent of Certain Lenders . Neither this Agreement nor any other Finance Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders and (b) in the case of any other Finance Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and consented to by the Required Lenders (except where the provisions of any Finance Document expressly provide otherwise); provided that no such agreement shall:

(A) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest (other than with respect to default interest) on, any Term Loan without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(B) extend or waive any date for payment of principal of any Term Loan (including the Maturity Date) or reduce the amount due on any such date without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(C) amend or modify the provisions of Section 3.3, 3.4, 3.12 or 3.13 in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(D) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 12.4 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the

75

number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(E) release the Foresight Guaranty or the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents prior to the Discharge Date without the prior written consent of each Lender (unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the Credit Documents); or

Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

12.4.3 Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents . If at any time any Lender Party or Borrower becomes aware of any circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of cover under the Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Documents, either in whole or in part, such Person shall immediately inform Hermes Agent thereof, and Borrower and Hermes Agent shall consult and negotiate with each other to find a mutually acceptable solution which best addresses the effect of such circumstances, including modifying or deleting the relevant provision or otherwise amending this Agreement; provided that this Section 12.4.3 shall not in any way limit the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under this Agreement upon a Hermes Export Credit Guarantee Document failing to remain in full force and effect.

12.4.4 Certain Permitted Modifications .

12.5 Survival of Agreement . All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement (including each Equipment Supplier Disbursement Certificate) or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loans, the execution and delivery of the Credit Documents, regardless of any investigation made by such Persons or on their behalf, and all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge Date.

76

12.6 Entire Agreement .

12.7 Successors and Assigns .

12.7.1 Binding Effect . This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrower and the Agents and when Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, each Lender Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that (a) Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes), and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void, and (b) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.7.3 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lender Parties) and Indemnitees (with respect to Section 12.8.2)) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.7.2 Assignments .

(A) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (B) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Borrower and Hermes Agent (acting at the instruction of Hermes); provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required (1) for any assignment of any Term Loan to an Eligible Assignee (other than an Approved Fund that invests primarily in distressed assets) or (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(B) Assignments shall be subject to each of the following additional conditions:

77

(C) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (D) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and 12.10 subject to the obligation of such Lender therein). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.7.3.

(D) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (B)(1) of this Section, Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(E) An assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest assigned to such assignee. An assignee shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such assignee fails to comply with Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable.

12.7.3 Participations .

(A) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) Borrower and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any

78

agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that (i) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 12.3.1 or paragraphs (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E) of the proviso to Section 12.4.2 that affects such Participant and (B) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (B) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.7.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.13 as though it were a Lender.

(B) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.8 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 3.8.4 or 3.8.5, as applicable, as though it were a Lender.

(C) Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “ Participant Register ”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Term Loan (or other right or obligation) hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by an Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.7.4 Pledge . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
