Payments on the Class A Notes will have priority over the Class B Notes (provided, that interest on the Class B Notes shall be paid prior to any principal payments on the Class A Notes) and the Class C Notes with respect to the payment of principal and interest to the extent set forth herein, and payments on the Class B Notes will have priority over the Class C Notes with respect to the payment of principal and interest to the extent set forth herein.

(b) The Notes were previously issued pursuant to the terms of the Existing Supplement. The amendment and restatement of the terms of the Notes issued pursuant hereto will be conditioned upon receipt by the Agent of written notice from each of the Noteholders that all of the conditions precedent set forth in Article XI hereof have been either satisfied by the Issuer or waived by the Noteholders.

(c) The Payment Date with respect to Notes shall be the fifteenth (15^th) day of each month, or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. The first Payment Date shall be February 15, 2005.

(d) The Class A Notes shall be issued in definitive form and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto. The Class B Notes shall be issued in definitive form and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto. The Class C Notes shall be issued in definitive form and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3 hereto.

(e) Payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Trust Account at the times and in the amounts set forth in Article III of this Master Loan Agreement.

Section 202. Interest Payments on the Notes.

(a) Interest on the Notes. The Class A Notes and the Class B Notes shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period. The Class C Notes shall be non-interest bearing. Interest on the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes shall be payable on each Payment Date from amounts on deposit in the Trust Account in accordance with Section 302(c) below and shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.

(b) Overdue Interest. If the Issuer shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or on any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Issuer shall, on demand, from time to time pay interest on such unpaid amounts, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to, but not including, the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment), at a rate per annum equal to the Overdue Rate, for the period during which such principal, interest or other amount shall be unpaid.

(I) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Agent shall determine the LIBOR for the next succeeding Interest Period on the basis of the offered LIBOR quotations, appearing on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London Time, on such LIBOR Determination Date for a period of one month. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that day will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London Time, on the LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period of one month commencing on that day. Fortis will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that day will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by Fortis at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on that day for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a period of one month commencing on that day.

(II) If necessary, on each LIBOR Determination Date, Fortis shall designate the banks that shall act as the Reference Banks for the succeeding Interest Period. The Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether electronic, written or oral) of the selected Reference Banks.

(III) The establishment of LIBOR, and the subsequent calculation of the Interest Rate for each Interest Period by Fortis in the absence of manifest error, shall be final and binding. Promptly upon the determination of LIBOR, the Interest Rate applicable to the Interest Period to which such LIBOR determination relates shall be delivered by facsimile transmission from Fortis to the Issuer, the Agent, the Administrator and the Noteholders.

Section 203. Principal Payments on the Notes.

Accordingly, the principal balance of each Note in the same Class shall be payable pro rata on each Payment Date, in the amount of the Class A Note Principal Payment, the Class B Note Principal Payment and the Class C Note Principal Payment, as appropriate, from amounts on deposit in the Trust Account in accordance with Section 302(c) hereof. The unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes shall be due and payable in full on the Final Payment Date, together with all unpaid interest, fees, expense, costs and other amounts payable. by the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Notes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Issuer on the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or future taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, whatsoever imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Noteholder and any Person to whom a Noteholder has sold an interest in the Note owned by such Noteholder (such Noteholder and any such person being an “Indemnified Party”), such taxes as are imposed on or measured by each Indemnified Party’s net income by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party, as the case may be, is organized or maintains an office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b) In addition, the Issuer shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Master Loan Agreement or any other documents related to the issuance of the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If any Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted or imposed against any Indemnified Party, the Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party for the full amount of the Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes asserted or imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 204) paid by the Indemnified Party and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted or imposed. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor. The Indemnified Party, in its discretion also may, but shall not be obligated to, pay such Taxes or Other Taxes and the Issuer will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses, except for, in the event the Indemnified Party fails to deliver notice of such assertion of Taxes or Other Taxes to the Issuer within ninety (90) days after it has received notice of such assertion or imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes, any such penalties, interest or expenses which would not have arisen but for the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Issuer of such assertion or imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Indemnified Party after the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Indemnified Party would have received had not such Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted or imposed. The Indemnified Party shall return to the Issuer the amount of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which it receives a refund, net of any income or other taxes that it will be required to pay as a result of the receipt of such refund.

(d) If the Issuer shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Indemnified Party, then:

(I) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions such Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made;

(II) the Issuer shall make such deduction or withholding; and

(III) the Issuer shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(e) Within-thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Issuer of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Issuer shall furnish to each of the Noteholders the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Noteholders.

(f) If the Issuer fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Indemnified Party, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Issuer shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of any such failure.

(g) If the Issuer is required to pay additional amounts to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 204, then such Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change its Address so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Indemnified Party which may thereafter accrue if such change in the judgment of such Indemnified Party is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Indemnified Party.

Section 205. Illegality.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any investment in any Note at a rate based upon LIBOR, the Issuer shall prepay in full all Notes then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if the Indemnified Party may lawfully continue to maintain such investment in any Note at a rate based upon LIBOR to such day, or immediately, if the Indemnified Party may not lawfully continue to maintain such investment in any Note at a rate based upon LIBOR.

(b) If any Noteholder shall require the Issuer to prepay any Note immediately as provided in Section 205(a) hereof, then concurrently with such prepayment, the Issuer shall issue to the affected Noteholder and the affected Noteholder shall purchase, in the amount of such repayment, a loan or note at a rate which, in the sole discretion of the affected Noteholder, reflects its cost of funds plus two percent (2%).

(c) Before giving any notice to the Issuer pursuant to this Section, the affected Noteholder shall designate a different Address with respect to its LIBOR Notes if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Noteholder, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Noteholder.

Section 206. Increased Costs. If any Indemnified Party shall determine that, due to either (a) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of LIBOR) in or in the interpretation of any law or requirement of law or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force

of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Indemnified Party of agreeing to maintain their investment in any Note at a rate of interest based upon LIBOR, then the Issuer shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand therefor by such Indemnified Party, pay to such Indemnified Party such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased costs.

Section 207. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent shall have determined that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, the Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Issuer and each Noteholder. Thereafter, the obligation of the Noteholders to maintain their investment in any Note at a rate of interest based upon LIBOR hereunder shall be suspended until the Agent, upon the instruction of the Majority of Holders, revokes such notice in writing. During such period of suspension, the Issuer shall issue and the Noteholders shall purchase a note at a rate described in the last clause of Section 205(b) hereof.

Section 208. Capital Requirements. If any Indemnified Party shall determine that any change after the date hereof in any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, any successor publication, including “Basel II”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law or requirement of law regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Indemnified Party (or any Address of the Indemnified Party) or the Indemnified Party’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Indemnified Party’s capital or on the capital of the Indemnified Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of maintaining its investment in a Note at a rate of interest based upon LIBOR to a level below that which the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Indemnified Party’s policies and the policies of the Indemnified Party’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Indemnified Party to be material, then, upon written demand by the Indemnified Party, the Issuer shall pay to the Indemnified Party, from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Indemnified Party or the Indemnified Party’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Without affecting its rights under this Section 208 or any other provision hereof, the Indemnified Party agrees that if there is any increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party with respect to which the Issuer would be obligated to compensate the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 208, the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative Address which would not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to select an alternative Lending Office if the Indemnified Party determines that (i) as a result of such selection the Indemnified Party would be in violation of any applicable law, or would incur material, additional costs or expenses, or (ii) such selection would be unavailable for regulatory reasons.

The Issuer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Issuer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. No suit, claim or proceeding shall be brought against the Exculpated Parties or any of them for any obligation under or relating to the Notes, this Master Loan Agreement or any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document delivered in connection therewith.

immediately preceding such Payment Date. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Note shall be payable at the principal office of the Agent in immediately available funds in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time for payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. All interest payable on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve months of 30 days each. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Note to the contrary, if so requested by the registered Holder of any Note by written notice to the Agent, all amounts payable to such registered Holder may be paid either (i) by crediting the amount to be distributed to such registered Holder to an account maintained by such registered Holder with the Agent or by transferring such amount by wire to such other bank in the United States, including a Federal Reserve Bank, as shall have been specified in such notice, for credit to the account of such registered Holder maintained at such bank, or (ii) by mailing a check to such registered Holder to the address specified in such notice, in either case without any presentment or surrender of such Note to the Agent at the principal office of the Agent.

(c) In the event that a Noteholder shall request a new Note or Note(s) in different denominations, such Noteholder shall surrender to the Issuer the Note(s) then held by such Noteholder against receipt from the Issuer of new Note(s) of the same Class which in the aggregate shall evidence the then unpaid principal balance of the Note(s) so surrendered.

(d) Any service charge made or expense incurred by the Agent for any such registration, discharge from registration or exchange referred to in this Section 211 shall be paid by the Noteholder. The Agent or the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax expense or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

(e) Any Note is transferable to any Person only upon the delivery to the Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) of all of the following: (i) the Note to be so transferred, (ii) an assignment executed by the existing Holder or its duly authorized attorney and (iii) a certification from the transferring Noteholder to the effect that such transfer is made in a transaction which does not require registration under the Securities Act and pursuant to an effective registration or qualification under any State securities or “Blue Sky” laws, or in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the transferee a new Note of the same Class as the Note so surrendered.

(f) Any Noteholder may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Note issued hereunder; provided, however, that (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under the Related Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Issuer and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under the Related Documents.

Section 212. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Agent, or the Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Agent such security or indemnity as it and the Issuer may require to hold the Issue and the Agent harmless (the

unsecured indemnity of a Rated Institutional Noteholder being deemed satisfactory for such purpose), then the Issuer shall execute and the Issuer shall deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note of the same Class and maturity and of like terms as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become, or within seven days shall be, due and payable, or shall have been called for redemption, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable instead of issuing a replacement Note.

(b) If, after the delivery of such replacement Note, or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer and the Agent shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefore to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Agent in connection therewith.

(c) The Agent and Issuer may, for each new Note delivered under the provisions of this Section 212, require the advance payment by the Noteholder of the expenses, including counsel fees, service charges and any tax or governmental charge which may be incurred by the Agent or Issuer. Any Note issued under the provisions of this Section 212 in lieu of any Note alleged to be destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen, shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Master Loan Agreement with all other Notes of the same Class. The provisions of this Section 212 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 213. Delivery, Retention and Cancellation of Notes. Each Noteholder is required, and hereby agrees, to return to the Agent, within 30 days after the Final Payment Date, any Note on which the final payment due thereon has been made. Any such Note as to which the Agent has made or holds the final payment thereon shall be deemed cancelled and shall no longer be Outstanding or outstanding for any purpose of this Master Loan Agreement, whether or not such Note is ever returned to the Agent. Matured Notes delivered upon final payment to the Issuer and any Notes transferred or exchanged for other Notes shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Issuer. If the Agent, for its own account, shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes. Notes which have been cancelled by the Issuer shall be deemed paid and discharged for all purposes under this Master Loan Agreement.

With respect to its Notes, Fortis shall have the same rights and powers under this Master Loan Agreement as

any other Noteholder and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Noteholder” and “Noteholders” shall include Fortis in its individual capacity.

Section 909. Successor Agent.

The Agent may, and at the request of the Majority of Holders shall, resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Noteholders. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Master Loan Agreement, the Majority of Holders shall appoint from among the Noteholders a successor agent for the Noteholders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Noteholders and the Issuer, a successor agent from among the Noteholders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all tire rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Master Loan Agreement. If no successor agent its accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Noteholders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority of Holders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
