(b) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall promptly (and in no event later than 12:00 p.m., Seoul time, on or before the third Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing Date) advise each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that has a KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment of any Borrowing Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02, together with each such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Commitment Percentage of the requested KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing.

Without limitation of Section 9.11(d) (Certain Obligations), the KEXIM Facility Agent shall provide to KEXIM (i) copies of each Borrowing Notice requesting the disbursement

of any KEXIM Covered Facility Loans promptly following receipt thereof, (ii) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the making of each KEXIM Covered Facility Loan, written notice indicating the amount of such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan, the date on which such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan was made and the amortization terms applicable thereto, and (iii) as promptly as practicable after receipt of the same, the information required pursuant to Section 7.3 (Information Undertakings) of the KEXIM Guarantee.

2.03 Borrowing of Loans. (a) Subject to clause (c) below, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall make a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan in the amount of its KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Commitment Percentage of each KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing on the proposed Borrowing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the KEXIM Facility Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the KEXIM Facility Agent shall transfer and deposit the amounts so received as set forth in Section 2.01(c) (KEXIM Covered Facility Loans) for application in accordance with Sections 5.02(b) and (e) (Construction Account) of the Accounts Agreement; provided that, if a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing does not occur on the proposed Borrowing Date because any condition precedent to such requested KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing herein specified has not been met, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall return the amounts so received to each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender without interest as soon as possible.

(b) Subject to Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate), each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may (without relieving the Borrower of its obligation to repay a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the KEXIM Covered Facility Notes) at its option fulfill its KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments with respect to any such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to make such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan.

(c) Unless the KEXIM Facility Agent has been notified in writing by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender will not make available to the KEXIM Facility Agent its portion of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing proposed to be made on such date, the KEXIM Facility Agent may assume that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender has made such amounts available to the KEXIM Facility Agent on such date and the KEXIM Facility Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the KEXIM Facility Agent by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and the KEXIM Facility Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall be entitled to recover on demand from such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender such corresponding amount plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the KEXIM Facility Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the KEXIM Facility Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pays such corresponding amount (together with such interest), then such corresponding amount so paid shall constitute such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s KEXIM Covered Facility Loan included in such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing. If such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the KEXIM Facility Agent’s demand, the

KEXIM Facility Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall promptly repay such corresponding amount to the KEXIM Facility Agent plus interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the KEXIM Facility Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the KEXIM Facility Agent at an interest rate per annum equal to the highest LIBOR applicable to the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans then outstanding plus the Applicable Margin. If the KEXIM Facility Agent receives payment of the corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If the KEXIM Facility Agent receives payment of interest on such corresponding amount from each of the Borrower and such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender for an overlapping period, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender from its obligation to fulfill its KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments hereunder and any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the KEXIM Facility Agent. The failure of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to make available to the KEXIM Facility Agent its portion of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing shall not relieve any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of its obligations, if any, hereunder to make available to the KEXIM Facility Agent its portion of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing on the date of such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing, but no KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to make available to the KEXIM Facility Agent such other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s portion of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing on the date of any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing. A notice of the KEXIM Facility Agent to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender resulting from each KEXIM Covered Facility Loan made by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender from time to time hereunder.

(e) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall maintain at the KEXIM Facility Agent’s office (i) a copy of any Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to it pursuant to Section 11.04 (Assignments), and (ii) a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders, and all the KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments of, and principal amount of and interest on the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans owing and paid to, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and of amounts received by the KEXIM Facility Agent from the Borrower and whether such amounts constitute principal, interest, fees or other amounts and each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s share thereof (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) The entries made by the KEXIM Facility Agent in the Register or the accounts maintained by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be conclusive and binding evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or the KEXIM Facility Agent to maintain such Register or accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and the accounts and records of the KEXIM Facility Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the KEXIM Facility Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(g) The Borrower agrees that in addition to such accounts or records described in clauses (e) and (f) of this Section 2.03, the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans made by each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, upon the request of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, be evidenced by a KEXIM Covered Facility Note duly executed on behalf of the Borrower and shall be dated the date of the KEXIM Covered Facility True-up Advance (or, if later, the date of any request therefor by a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender). Each such KEXIM Covered Facility Note shall have all blanks appropriately filled in and shall be payable to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and its registered assigns in a principal amount equal to the KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender; provided that each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may attach schedules to its respective KEXIM Covered Facility Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its respective KEXIM Covered Facility Loan and payments with respect thereto.

2.04 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) All unused KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments, if any, shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the last day of the Availability Period.

(b) Upon any payment or prepayment of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans pursuant to Section 3.01 (Repayment of KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowings), Section 3.07 (Optional Prepayment) or Section 3.08 (Mandatory Prepayment), the Aggregate KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced in an amount equal to such payment or prepayment.

(c) The Borrower shall have the right to permanently terminate in whole, and from time to time to permanently reduce in part, the Aggregate KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment (in a minimum amount of ten million Dollars ($10,000,000)) in accordance with Section 3.3 (Voluntary Cancellation of Secured Debt) of the Common Terms Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall make such KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment reduction contemporaneously and ratably amongst all Facility Loans.

(d) The Borrower shall have the right to permanently terminate the KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders in accordance with Section 4.04(d) (Obligation to Mitigate).

(e) All unused KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments, if any, shall be terminated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default if required pursuant to Section 8.03 (Acceleration upon Bankruptcy) or Section 8.04 (Acceleration upon Other Event of Default) in accordance with the terms thereof.

3.05 Interest Rate Determination. The KEXIM Facility Agent shall determine the interest rate applicable to the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans and shall give prompt notice of such determination to the Borrower, the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and KEXIM.

(c) Whenever any payment (including any payment of principal of or interest on any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan or any Fees or other Obligations) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by the proviso to the definition of “Interest Period”) be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day, and such increase of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

3.10 Borrowings and Payments Generally. (a) Unless the KEXIM Facility Agent has received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the KEXIM Facility Agent for the account of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the KEXIM Facility Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders the amount due. If the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders severally agrees to repay to the KEXIM Facility Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in immediately available funds 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 the KEXIM Facility Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A notice of the KEXIM Facility Agent to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 3.10 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to obtain funds for any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that it has obtained or will obtain funds for any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan in any particular place or manner.

(c) The Borrower hereby authorizes each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is not made when due

under this Agreement or under the KEXIM Covered Facility Notes held by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender any amount so due.

3.11 Fees. (a) From and including the date hereof until the end of the Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the KEXIM Facility Agent, for the account of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 40% of the Applicable Margin applicable to KEXIM Covered Facility Loans on the average daily amount by which the Aggregate KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans during the Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof) then ended; provided that all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears and computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days, as prorated for any partial quarter, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay any Commitment Fee to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender with respect to any period in which such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender was a Defaulting Lender.

(b) From and including the date hereof until the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay (i) for so long as no KEXIM Guarantee Trigger Event shall exist, to KEXIM, or (ii) during the period in which a KEXIM Guarantee Trigger Event shall exist, to the KEXIM Facility Agent for the ratable benefit of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders, in each case, (A) in advance, on the Closing Date and on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (starting with the Fiscal Quarter in which the Closing Date occurs), a fee in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Quarterly Guarantee Premium for the next succeeding Fiscal Quarter (or, for payment on the Closing Date, for the Fiscal Quarter in which the Closing Date occurs), multiplied by (2) the Projected Balance for such next succeeding Fiscal Quarter (or, for payment on the Closing Date, for the Fiscal Quarter in which the Closing Date occurs), and (B) concurrently with any Additional Advance in a Fiscal Quarter, a fee (which fee may be paid from the proceeds of such Additional Advance) in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Quarterly Guarantee Premium for such Fiscal Quarter, multiplied by (2) the amount of such Additional Advance (the sum of (A) and (B), the “Guarantee Premium”); provided, if the Borrower fails to pay any Guarantee Premium, the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders may, in their sole discretion, make such payment on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall reimburse the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders to the extent of any such payment immediately upon demand.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the KEXIM Facility Agent, for the account of each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, a front-end fee (the “Front-End Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.5% of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment on the earlier of (i) the KEXIM Covered Facility True-up Advance (in which case such fee may be paid from the proceeds of the KEXIM Covered Facility True-up Advance), and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid to the KEXIM Facility Agent for the account of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and the KEXIM Facility Agent, additional fees in the amounts and at the times from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and the KEXIM Facility Agent, including pursuant to each Fee Letter with a Joint Lead Arranger.

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due in immediately available funds. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

3.12 Pro Rata Treatment. (a) Each KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing and, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01 (LIBOR Lending Unlawful), each reduction of commitments of any type, pursuant to Section 2.04 (Termination or Reduction of Commitments) or otherwise, shall be allocated by the KEXIM Facility Agent pro rata among the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Commitment Percentages.

(b) Except as otherwise required under Section 3.07 (Optional Prepayment), Section 3.08 (Mandatory Prepayment) or ARTICLE 4 (LIBOR And Tax Provisions), each payment or prepayment of principal of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans shall be allocated by the KEXIM Facility Agent pro rata among the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Loans, and each payment of interest on the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans shall be allocated by the KEXIM Facility Agent pro rata among the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders in accordance with the respective interest amounts outstanding on their KEXIM Covered Facility Loans. Each payment of the Commitment Fee shall be allocated by the KEXIM Facility Agent pro rata among the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders in accordance with their respective KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Commitments.

3.13 Sharing of Payments. (a) If any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender obtains any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of ARTICLE 4 (LIBOR And Tax Provisions)) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders holding KEXIM Covered Facility Loans, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall purchase from the other KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders (for cash at face value) such participations in KEXIM Covered Facility Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that has sold a participation to the purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall repay to the purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (x) the amount of such selling KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to (y) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender so purchasing a participation from another KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pursuant to this Section 3.13(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff)) with respect to such participation as fully as if such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 3.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to and in

accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its KEXIM Covered Facility Loans.

(b) If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.13 applies, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders entitled under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

ARTICLE 4

LIBOR AND TAX PROVISIONS

4.01 LIBOR Lending Unlawful. (a) In the event that it becomes unlawful or, by reason of a Change in Law, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is unable to honor its obligation to make or maintain KEXIM Covered Facility Loans at LIBOR, then such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of such event (with a copy to the KEXIM Facility Agent) and (i) such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s obligation to make or to continue KEXIM Covered Facility Loans at LIBOR shall be suspended until such time as such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may again make and maintain KEXIM Covered Facility Loans at LIBOR and (ii) the Borrower shall convert such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s portion of any outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Loans at LIBOR into loans whose rate basis is determined following the procedures outlined in Section 4.02 (Inability to Determine Interest Rates) effective as of the date of effectiveness of such Change in Law.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 3.04 (Mandatory Prepayment of Secured Debt) of the Common Terms Agreement, if such Change in Law shall so mandate, the Borrower shall prepay in full that portion of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender advises is so affected, on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Change in Law.

(c) At the Borrower’s request, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts, including using reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its KEXIM Covered Facility Loans or to assign its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or avoid such illegality and (ii) would not subject such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

4.02 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan:

(a) the KEXIM Facility Agent reasonably determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or

(b) the KEXIM Facility Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that such Required Lenders have reasonably determined that LIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders of making or maintaining their KEXIM Covered Facility Loans for such Interest Period;

then the KEXIM Facility Agent shall give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Borrower and the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the KEXIM Facility Agent notifies the Borrower and the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice of subsequent change in circumstances shall be given as promptly as practical), (i) during the thirty (30) day period following such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the KEXIM Facility Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a substitute interest rate basis for such KEXIM Covered Facility Loans which shall reflect the cost to the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders of funding the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”) and if such Substitute Basis is so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of LIBOR to all Interest Periods commencing on or after the first day of the affected Interest Period and (ii) if a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, the Borrower may elect to prepay the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower does not elect so to prepay, each affected KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall determine (and shall certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to the KEXIM Facility Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of funding the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans for the Interest Period commencing on or after the first day of the affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice have ceased to apply and such rate basis shall be binding upon the Borrower and such KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and shall apply in lieu of LIBOR for the affected Interest Period.

4.03 Increased Costs. (a) (1) If any Change in Law shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender; (B) subject the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, or its group, to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) Taxes described in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (C) impose on any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or KEXIM Covered Facility Loans; and (2) the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan) to the Borrower or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate)).

(b) If any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s capital or (without duplication) on the capital of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans made by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, to a level below that which such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s holding company, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s policies and the policies of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon notice by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, the Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such notice to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or (without duplication) such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s holding company in full for any such reduction suffered (except to the extent the Borrower is excused from payment pursuant to Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate)). In determining such amount, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem appropriate.

(c) To claim any amount under this Section 4.03, the KEXIM Facility Agent or a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the KEXIM Facility Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, under Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b). The Borrower shall pay the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after the KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, as applicable, has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 4.03, such Person shall notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the KEXIM Facility Agent). Failure or delay on the part of the KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Person pursuant to this Section 4.03 for any increased costs or reductions attributable to the failure of such Person to notify Borrower within two hundred twenty-five (225) days after the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions of such Person’s intention to claim compensation for those circumstances; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to those increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the two hundred twenty-five (225) day period referred to above shall be extended to include that period of retroactive effect.

4.04 Obligation to Mitigate. (a) If any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03 (Increased Costs), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pursuant to Section 4.06 (Taxes), then, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, if requested by the Borrower in writing, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or

booking its KEXIM Covered Facility Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations under the Financing Documents to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.03 (Increased Costs) or Section 4.06 (Taxes), as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in any material respect, contrary to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s normal banking practices or violate any applicable Government Rule. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Subject to Section 4.04(c), if any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03 (Increased Costs), or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pursuant to Section 4.06 (Taxes) and, in each case, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office or to make an assignment in accordance with Section 4.04(a), or if any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice in writing to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and the KEXIM Facility Agent, request such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.04 (Assignments)), all (but not less than all) its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all of its KEXIM Covered Facility Loans and KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be an Eligible Facility Lender, if such Eligible Facility Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the KEXIM Facility Agent, (ii) such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender from such assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other Obligations) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.03 (Increased Costs) or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.06 (Taxes), such assignment will result in the elimination or reduction of such compensation or payments. A KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, as a result of a waiver by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of its rights under Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) or 4.06 (Taxes), as applicable, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. If, notwithstanding the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) or 4.06 (Taxes), a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender refuses to be replaced pursuant to this Section 4.04, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender any of the compensation referred to in this Section 4.04 or any additional amounts incurred or accrued under Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) or 4.06 (Taxes) from and after the date that such replacement would have occurred but for such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s refusal. Nothing in this Section 4.04 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrower, the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may have against any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) As a condition of the right of the Borrower to remove any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender pursuant to Section 4.04(b) and (d), the Borrower shall either (i) arrange for the assignment or novation of any Interest Rate Protection Agreements with such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or any of its Affiliates simultaneously with such removal or (ii) terminate the applicable Interest Rate Protection Agreement and pay any relevant Hedge Termination Value.

(d) If (i) any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender (such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.) requires the consent of all of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and with respect to which the Supermajority Lenders shall have granted their consent and (ii) no Event of Default then exists, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace all such Non-Consenting Lenders by requiring such Non-Consenting Lenders to assign all their KEXIM Covered Facility Loans and all their KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments to one or more Eligible Assignees that are Eligible Transferees; provided that (A) all Non-Consenting Lenders must be replaced with one or more Eligible Facility Lenders that grant the applicable consent, (B) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lenders being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lenders concurrently with such assignment and (C) the replacement KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lenders a price equal to the amount of such Obligations. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, the KEXIM Facility Agent, such Non-Consenting Lenders and the replacement KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders shall otherwise comply with Section 11.04 (Assignments). With the consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to use new shareholder funding or amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that are permitted to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.10(d) (Distribution Account) of the Accounts Agreement to prepay all (and not part only) of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ KEXIM Covered Facility Loans and terminate all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments subject, in each case, to payment of all accrued interest, fees, costs or expenses due under the Financing Documents to the relevant KEXIM Covered Facility Lender.

4.05 Funding Losses. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by the KEXIM Facility Agent (based upon the information delivered to it by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan had such event not occurred, at LIBOR that would have been applicable to such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan, for

the period that would have been the Interest Period for such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in Dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. To claim any amount under this Section 4.05, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that the applicable KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 4.05 (including calculations, in reasonable detail, showing how the KEXIM Facility Agent computed such amount or amounts), which certificate shall be based upon the information delivered to the KEXIM Facility Agent by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender. The Borrower shall pay to the KEXIM Facility Agent for the benefit of the applicable KEXIM Covered Facility Lender the amount due and payable and set forth on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

4.06 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 4.06, the term “applicable Governmental Rule” includes FATCA.

(a) Payment Free of Taxes. Any and all payments on account of any Obligations shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable Government Rule; provided that, if the Withholding Agent is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from those payments pursuant to applicable Government Rule, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Government Rule and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.06) each Person entitled thereto receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, but without duplication of the provisions of Section 4.06(a), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with any applicable Government Rule.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify KEXIM, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and the KEXIM Facility Agent, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Person on or with respect to any payment on account of any Obligation or required to be deducted or withheld from such payment and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.06), and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising from, or with respect to, those Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, whether or not those Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. To claim any amount under this Section 4.06(c), KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders (as applicable) must deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the KEXIM Facility Agent) a certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Government Authority pursuant to this Section 4.06, the Borrower shall deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the KEXIM Facility Agent.

(e) Status of KEXIM and Lenders. (i) KEXIM, and each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made hereunder, shall deliver to the Borrower and the KEXIM Facility Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, KEXIM and any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent as will enable the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent to determine whether or not KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, as applicable, is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.06(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) and Section 4.06(f) below) shall not be required if in KEXIM’s or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s reasonable judgment, as applicable, such completion, execution or submission would subject KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

A. each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that is a United States Person shall deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender becomes a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

B. KEXIM and each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that is not a United States Person (including KEXIM, for purposes of this paragraph) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent transmission to the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the assignment and acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender (in the case of each other

KEXIM Covered Facility Lender), and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent, whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Financing Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Financing Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; (ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; (iv) executed originals of IRS Form W-8EXP; or (v) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8EXP, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

C. each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, or KEXIM, as the case may be, required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders or KEXIM, as the case may be, of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders or KEXIM, as the case may be, shall, upon reasonable request by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent, (i) promptly deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent for transmission to the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent transmission to the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)) two new original copies of the applicable forms, certificates or other evidence, properly completed and duly executed by such KEXIM Covered Facility

Lender or KEXIM, as the case may be, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent to confirm or establish that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or KEXIM, as the case may be, is not subject to (or is subject to reduced) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or KEXIM, as the case may be, under this Agreement, or (ii) notify the KEXIM Facility Agent and the Borrower (but in the case of a Participant, only to the extent transmission to the Borrower is required under Section 11.04(d) (Assignments)) of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. This Section 4.06(e) applies without duplication of the provisions of Section 4.06(f).

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to KEXIM or a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent at the time or times prescribed by Government Rule and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Government Rule (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the KEXIM Facility Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that KEXIM or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender has complied with KEXIM’s or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.06(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Refunds. If KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.06, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund), provided that, (i) the Borrower, upon the request of KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender (as the case may be), shall repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in the event KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender is required to repay such refund to such Government Authority, and (ii) in no event will KEXIM, such KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.06(g), the payment of which would place KEXIM, such KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than KEXIM, such KEXIM Facility Agent or KEXIM Covered Facility Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund

had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require KEXIM, the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

ARTICLE 9

THE KEXIM FACILITY AGENT

9.01 Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders hereby appoints, designates and authorizes KEB NY Financial Corp. as its KEXIM Facility Agent under and for purposes of each Financing Document to which the KEXIM Facility Agent is a party, and in its capacity as the KEXIM Facility Agent, to act on its behalf as Secured Debt Holder Group Representative and the Designated Voting Party (as defined in the

Intercreditor Agreement) for the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders. KEB NY Financial Corp. hereby accepts this appointment and agrees to act as the KEXIM Facility Agent for the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders appoints and authorizes the KEXIM Facility Agent to act on behalf of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender under each Financing Document to which it is a party and in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by the KEXIM Facility Agent (with respect to which the KEXIM Facility Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.01 or as otherwise advised by counsel, and subject in all cases to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the KEXIM Facility Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in any Financing Document, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the KEXIM Facility Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or other KEXIM Covered Facility Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Financing Document or otherwise exist against the KEXIM Facility Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the KEXIM Facility Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Government Rule. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The provisions of this ARTICLE 9 are solely for the benefit of the KEXIM Facility Agent and the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions other than the Borrower’s rights under Sections 9.07(a) and (b) (Resignation or Removal of KEXIM Facility Agent) and 9.12(b) (KEXIM Guarantee).

9.02 Rights as a Lender or Secured Hedging Party. Each Person serving as the KEXIM Facility Agent hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Commercial Bank Lender, KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, KSURE Covered Facility Lender or Secured Hedging Party, as the case may be, as any other Commercial Bank Lender, KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, KSURE Covered Facility Lender or Secured Hedging Party, as the case may be, and may exercise the same as though it were not the KEXIM Facility Agent. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower as if such Person were not the KEXIM Facility Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents and the KEXIM Guarantee; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Financing Document, in the event of any conflict between the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the KEXIM Facility Agent under this Agreement and

its duties, responsibilities and obligations under the KEXIM Guarantee, the duties, responsibilities and obligations of the KEXIM Facility Agent under the KEXIM Guarantee (subject to Section 9.12 (KEXIM Guarantee)) shall prevail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the KEXIM Facility Agent shall not:

(i) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Financing Documents and the KEXIM Guarantee that the KEXIM Facility Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by KEXIM or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Financing Documents); provided that the KEXIM Facility Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the KEXIM Facility Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Financing Document or applicable Government Rule; or

(iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Financing Documents and the KEXIM Guarantee, have any duty to disclose, nor shall the KEXIM Facility Agent be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the KEXIM Facility Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the prior written consent or at the request of KEXIM or the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders as may be necessary, or as the KEXIM Facility Agent may believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.)) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The KEXIM Facility Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the KEXIM Facility Agent in writing by the Borrower, KEXIM or a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender.

(c) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by any Security Document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in ARTICLE 6 (Conditions Precedent) or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of any items expressly required to be delivered to the KEXIM Facility Agent.

9.04 Reliance by KEXIM Facility Agent. The KEXIM Facility Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The KEXIM Facility Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a KEXIM Covered Facility Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, the KEXIM Facility Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender unless the KEXIM Facility Agent has received notice to the contrary from such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender prior to the making of such KEXIM Covered Facility Loan. The KEXIM Facility Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties. The KEXIM Facility Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise any and all its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Financing Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the KEXIM Facility Agent. The KEXIM Facility Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.

Without limitation of the foregoing, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender agrees to reimburse, ratably in accordance with all its KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments, the KEXIM Facility Agent promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the KEXIM Facility Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, administration, amendment, waiver, modification or

enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, the Transaction Documents, to the extent that the KEXIM Facility Agent is not reimbursed promptly for such expenses by Borrower.

In the event KEB NY Financial Corp. is no longer the KEXIM Facility Agent, any successor KEXIM Facility Agent may be removed at any time with cause by the Required Lenders and KEXIM. Any such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor KEXIM Facility Agent, in accordance with this Section 9.07.

(b) Upon any notice of resignation by the KEXIM Facility Agent or upon the removal of the KEXIM Facility Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(a), the Required Lenders shall, with the consent of KEXIM (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld) appoint a successor KEXIM Facility Agent, hereunder and under each other Financing Document to which the KEXIM Facility Agent is a party, such successor KEXIM Facility Agent to be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000); provided that, if no Default or Event of Default shall then be continuing, appointment of a successor KEXIM Facility Agent shall also be acceptable to the Borrower (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) If no successor KEXIM Facility Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by such resigning KEXIM Facility Agent, or the Required Lenders elected to remove such Person, any KEXIM Covered Facility Secured Party may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor KEXIM Facility Agent. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor KEXIM Facility Agent, who shall serve as KEXIM Facility Agent hereunder and under each other Financing Document to which it is a party until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor KEXIM Facility Agent, as provided above.

(d) Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as KEXIM Facility Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) KEXIM Facility Agent, and the retiring (or removed) KEXIM Facility Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Financing Documents. After the retirement or removal of the KEXIM Facility Agent hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 and Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) shall

continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring (or removed) Person, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Person was acting in its capacity as KEXIM Facility Agent.

9.08 No Amendment to Duties of KEXIM Facility Agent Without Consent. The KEXIM Facility Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, including the KEXIM Guarantee, that affects its rights or duties hereunder or thereunder unless such KEXIM Facility Agent shall have given its prior written consent, in its capacity as KEXIM Facility Agent thereto.

9.09 Non-Reliance on KEXIM Facility Agent. Each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the KEXIM Facility Agent, any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and make its extensions of credit. Each of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the KEXIM Facility Agent, any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment and the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans at the time owing to it or (y) an assignment to an Eligible Facility Lender, or an Affiliate of an Eligible Facility Lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to an Eligible Facility Lender, the sum of (1) the outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments, if any, and (2) the outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Loans subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Lender Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the KEXIM Facility Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Lender Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than five million Dollars ($5,000,000) and, with respect to the assignment of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans, in integral multiples of one million Dollars ($1,000,000), unless the KEXIM Facility Agent otherwise consents in writing. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of the same percentage of outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment and outstanding KEXIM Covered Facility Loans and a proportionate part of all the assigning KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the KEXIM Covered Facility Loan and the KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit C, together with a processing and recordation fee of three thousand five hundred Dollars ($3,500); provided that (A) no such fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment to an Eligible Facility Lender, an Affiliate thereof or an Approved Fund with respect to an Eligible Facility Lender, as applicable, and (B) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to one or more Approved Funds managed by the same investment advisor (which Approved Funds are not then KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders hereunder), only a single such three thousand five

If the Eligible Assignee is not an Eligible Facility Lender prior to such assignment, it shall deliver to the KEXIM Facility Agent an administrative questionnaire and all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” requirements. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the KEXIM Facility Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the KEXIM Facility Agent, the applicable pro rata share of KEXIM Covered Facility Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the KEXIM Facility Agent, and each other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all KEXIM Covered Facility Loans in accordance with its KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Commitment Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the KEXIM Facility Agent pursuant to Section 11.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.01 (LIBOR Lending Unlawful), Section 4.03 (Increased Costs), Section 4.05 (Funding Losses), Section 4.06 (Taxes), Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses) and Section 11.08 (Indemnification by the Borrower) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a KEXIM Covered Facility Note to the assignee and/or a revised KEXIM Covered Facility Note to the assigning KEXIM Covered Facility Lender reflecting such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(d). Upon any such assignment, the KEXIM Facility Agent will deliver a notice thereof to the Borrower (provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not result in any liability for the KEXIM Facility Agent); provided that, no assignment or transfer of any rights or obligations of a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be permitted without the prior written consent of KEXIM.

(c) The KEXIM Facility Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance with Section 2.03(e) (Borrowing of Loans) above.

(d) Any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the KEXIM Facility Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party, any Sponsor, any Material Project Party, any Person that is party to any Additional Material Project Document or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its KEXIM Covered Facility Commitment or the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender remains solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the KEXIM Facility Agent and the other KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender in connection with such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.06 (Indemnification by the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders) with respect to any payments made by such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to its Participant(s). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, but subject in all cases to KEXIM’s rights hereunder, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 (Amendments, Etc.) that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs), 4.05 (Funding Losses) and 4.06 (Taxes) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.06(e) (Taxes – Status of Lenders) (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 4.06 (Taxes) shall be delivered to the participating KEXIM Covered Facility Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate) as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 11.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) or 4.06 (Taxes), with respect to any participation, than its participating KEXIM Covered Facility Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.04 (Obligation to Mitigate) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.14 (Right of Setoff) as though it were a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.13 (Sharing of Payments) as though it were

a KEXIM Covered Facility Lender. Each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans or other obligations under the Financing Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Financing Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the KEXIM Facility Agent (in its capacity as KEXIM Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its KEXIM Covered Facility Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction; provided that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender as a party hereto.

(f) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Lender Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Government Rule, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel), in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents; (b) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee and the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for KEXIM and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel), in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); (c) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the KEXIM Facility Agent and the Common Security Trustee (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel), in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); and (d) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the KEXIM Covered Facility Secured Parties (including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of one counsel plus one local counsel for the KEXIM Covered Facility Lenders and their Affiliates in each relevant jurisdiction (provided that, in the case of the continuation of an Event of Default, any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender may retain separate counsel in the event of an actual conflict of interest (which may be multiple counsel, but only the least number necessary to resolve such conflict of interest) and the Borrower shall pay all reasonable fees, cost and expenses of such additional counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection (other than in connection with assignment of KEXIM Covered Facility Loans or KEXIM Covered Facility Commitments) of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, including their rights under this Section 11.06, including in connection with any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Obligations. This provision of this Section 11.06 shall not supersede Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) and 4.06 (Taxes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Common Security Trustee reasonably believes that a conflict exists in using one counsel, it may engage its own counsel.

11.07 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the KEXIM Facility Agent and when the KEXIM Facility Agent has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

(iii) any actual or prospective claim (including Environmental Claims), litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on common law, contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s members, managers or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents is consummated, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; or

(iv) any claim, demand or liability for broker’s or finder’s or placement fees or similar commissions, whether or not payable by the Borrower, alleged to have been incurred in connection with such transactions, other than any broker’s or finder’s fees payable to Persons engaged by any KEXIM Covered Facility Secured Party or Affiliates or Related Parties thereof;

provided, that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) shall have arisen from a dispute between or among the Indemnitees or from a claim of an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, which in either case is not the result of an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under Section 11.06 (Costs and Expenses) or Section 11.08(a) above to be paid by it to any of the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, any sub-agent thereof, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each KEXIM Covered Facility Lender agrees to pay to the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, any such sub-agent, or such Related Party, as the case may be, such KEXIM Covered Facility Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, or any sub-agent thereof in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Common Security Trustee, or any sub-agent thereof in connection with such capacity.

The failure of any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to make payments on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other KEXIM Covered Facility Lender to do so.

(c) All amounts due under this Section 11.08 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(d) The provisions of this Section 11.08 shall not supersede Sections 4.03 (Increased Costs) and 4.06 (Taxes).

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

If the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the KEXIM Covered Facility Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the KEXIM Facility Agent or any KEXIM Covered Facility Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, pro-rate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any KEXIM Covered Facility Secured Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Financing Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.11 Notices and Other Communications.

(h) So long as KEB NY Financial Corp. is the KEXIM Facility Agent, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the KEXIM Facility Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the KEXIM Facility Agent pursuant to the Financing Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to any KEXIM Covered Facility Loan Borrowing (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the KEXIM Facility Agent at the email addresses specified in Schedule 11.11. In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the KEXIM Facility Agent in the manner specified in the Financing Documents but only to the extent requested by the KEXIM Facility Agent.
