Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially due to: the speed and nature of increased competition in the electric utility industry, the impact of the regulatory process on the ~~earlier~~pending matters before FERC and in the various states in which we do business including, but not limited to, matters related to rates, the uncertainties of ~~364 days~~various cost recovery and cost allocation issues resulting from ATSI's realignment into PJM, economic or weather conditions affecting future sales and margins, regulatory outcomes associated with Hurricane Sandy, changing energy, capacity and commodity market prices and availability, financial derivative reforms that could increase our liquidity needs and collateral costs, the ~~date~~continued ability of ~~borrowing~~our regulated utilities to collect transition and other costs, operation and maintenance costs being higher than anticipated, other legislative and regulatory changes, and revised environmental requirements, including possible GHG emission, water intake and coal combustion residual regulations, the potential impacts of CAIR, and any laws, rules or regulations that ultimately replace CAIR, and the ~~commitment~~effects ~~termination~~of ~~date~~the EPA's MATS rules, asthe uncertainty of the ~~same~~timing and amounts of the capital expenditures that may bearise ~~extended. Upon~~in connection with any litigation, including NSR litigation or potential regulatory initiatives or rulemakings (including that such expenditures could result in our decision to deactivate or idle certain generating units), the uncertainties associated with our plans to deactivate our older unscrubbed regulated and competitive fossil units and our plans to change the operations of certain fossil plants, including the impact on vendor commitments, and the timing of those deactivations and operational changes as they relate to, among other things, the RMR arrangements and the reliability of the transmission grid, issues that could result from the NRC's review of the indications of cracking in the Davis Besse Plant shield building, adverse regulatory or legal decisions and outcomes with respect to our nuclear operations (including, but not limited to the revocation or non-renewal of necessary licenses, approvals or operating permits by the NRC or as a ~~borrower~~result ~~demonstrating~~of the incident at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant), adverse legal decisions and outcomes related to ME's and PN's ability to recover certain transmission costs through their transmission service charge riders, the ~~administrative~~continuing ~~agent~~availability ~~authorization~~of generating units, changes in their operational status and any related impacts on vendor commitments, replacement power costs being higher than anticipated or inadequately hedged, the ability to ~~borrow~~comply with applicable state and federal reliability standards and energy efficiency mandates, changes in customers' demand for power, including but not limited to, changes resulting from the implementation of state and federal energy efficiency mandates, the ability to accomplish or realize anticipated benefits from strategic goals, our ability to improve electric commodity margins and the impact of, among other factors, the increased cost of fuel and fuel transportation on such margins, the ability to experience growth in the Regulated Distribution and Competitive Energy Services segments, changing market conditions that could affect the measurement of liabilities and the value of assets held in our NDTs, pension trusts and other trust funds, and cause us and our subsidiaries to make additional contributions sooner, or in amounts ~~maturing~~that ~~more~~are larger than ~~364 days~~currently ~~from~~anticipated, the ~~date~~impact of ~~borrowing~~changes to material accounting policies, ~~its~~the ~~borrowings~~ability ~~will~~to ~~mature~~access the public securities and other capital and credit markets in accordance with our financing plans, the cost of such capital and overall condition of the capital and credit markets affecting us and our subsidiaries, changes in general economic conditions affecting us and our subsidiaries, interest rates and any actions taken by credit rating agencies that could negatively affect us and our subsidiaries' access to financing, increased costs thereof, and increase requirements to post additional collateral to support outstanding commodity positions, LOCs and other financial guarantees, the state of the national and regional economy and its impact on our major industrial and commercial customers, issues concerning the ~~latest~~soundness ~~commitment~~of ~~termination~~domestic ~~date~~and foreign financial institutions and counterparties with which we do business, the risks and other factors discussed from time to time in our SEC filings, and other similar factors. ~~Proceeds~~ ~~may~~The foregoing review of factors should not be ~~used~~construed ~~for~~as ~~working~~exhaustive. ~~capital~~New factors emerge from time to time, and ~~other~~it ~~general~~is ~~corporate~~not ~~purposes~~possible for management to predict all such factors, nor assess the impact of any such factor on the ~~borrowers~~registrants' business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The registrants expressly disclaim any current intention to update, except as required by law, any forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility may take the form of alternate base rate advances or eurodollar rate advances, borrowed pro rata from all lenders in proportion to their respective commitments. 3

Outstanding alternate base rate advances will bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the sum of the highest of (i) the administrative agent's publicly-announced "prime rate", (ii) the sum of 1/2 of 1% per annum plus the federal funds rate in effect from time to time and (iii) the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for a one-month interest period plus 1% plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the applicable borrower's then-current senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt ratings (reference ratings). Outstanding eurodollar rate advances will bear interest at LIBOR for interest periods of one, two, three or six months plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the applicable reference ratings. Changes in reference ratings of a borrower would lower or raise its applicable margin depending on whether ratings improved or were lowered, respectively.

Under the New Credit Facility, FET will pay the lenders a commitment fee on the amount of the unused commitments on a quarterly basis based on the reference ratings of FET.

In addition, under the New Credit Facility, borrowers may request from time to time the issuance of letters of credit which may be renewable upon the request of the borrowers and which expire upon the earlier of one year from the date of issuance or the third

business day preceding the latest termination date of the New Credit Facility. The stated amount of outstanding letters of credit will count against total commitments available under the New Credit Facility and against the applicable borrower's sub-limit. Currently, the initial fronting banks have agreed to issue up to an aggregate amount of $225 million of letters of credit under the New Credit Facility. Each borrower will pay the lenders a fee equal to the then applicable margin for eurodollar rate advances for such borrower multiplied by the stated amount of each letter of credit issued for its account, in each case for the number of days that such letter of credit is issued but undrawn, payable quarterly.

Under the New Credit Facility, borrowings are available upon customary representations and warranties, terms and conditions for facilities of this type, and the borrowers are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on the ability to sell, lease, transfer or dispose of assets, to grant or permit liens upon properties to secure debt, to merge or consolidate, subject to certain exceptions, the ability to enter into any prohibited transactions as defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 or the ability to use the proceeds of any borrowing for prohibited purposes. Each borrower is also required to maintain a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the New Credit Facility, of no more than 0.65 to 1.00 in the case of ATSI and TrAILCo and of no more than 0.70 to 1.00 in the case of FET.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of events of default that each borrower considers usual and customary, including a cross-default for other indebtedness in excess of $100 million.

The following banks are parties to the New Credit Facility with individual commitments equal to the indicated percentages of the total commitments:
