Entreprise Router to connect to ISP Router(10GB Fiber) and 5x 48 port switches?

For this lab at school i need to propose an entreprise router for a main office with 300+ employees also there is no budget limit but the router needs to be reasonable for our needs. We are not looking for any specific protocols or vpns,etc just a router that is optimized for this network. The ISP is offering 10gb fiber speeds and I will also need 5 48 port switches to be used as access. I have looked at the Cisco ISR 4000 but they dont seem to have 10gb ports. Is there something I am missing? Basically from my understanding, i need to find a router that will be able to handle 10gb fiber and distribute it to 5 48 port switches, the isp has already provided us with a router. Should i be looking for a router with 1 10gb port and 5 1gb ports? How does the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Infinity 8-Port 10G SFP+ Router sound? It seems to be my main choice for now even if i am wasting those 10gb ports and only actually using 1 of them...
