(b) Wells Fargo Securities agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts during the period from the date of acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter through the date that is the earlier of (1) the effective date of the Amendment and (2) Required Amendment Approval Date to obtain approval of the Amendment from the Lenders (under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement), it being acknowledged and agreed that no provision of this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter shall be deemed to be, and Wells Fargo Securities has not provided, any express or an implied guarantee of the ultimate success of the Amendment.

The fees for our commitment and for services related to the Senior Credit Facilities and the Amendment are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) entered into by the Company and the Wells Fargo Parties on the date hereof. You agree that except as contemplated hereby or by the Fee Letter, no other agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter) will be paid to any lender, agent or arranger for any of the Senior Credit Facilities or the Amendment for its participation in any of the Senior Credit Facilities or its consent to the Amendment unless you and we shall so agree. It is further agreed that Wells Fargo Securities shall have “left” and “highest” placement in any and all marketing materials and other documentation used in connection with any of the Senior Credit Facilities or the Amendment and shall hold the leading roles and responsibilities conventionally associated with such “left” and “highest” placement, including maintaining sole physical books for the Senior Credit Facilities and the Amendment, and no Other Arranger will have rights in respect of the management of the syndication of any of the Senior Credit Facilities (including, without limitation, in respect of “market flex” rights under the Fee Letter, over which the Arranger shall have sole control) or the arrangement of the Amendment. For purposes of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, “Wells Fargo” means the Wells Fargo Parties and any of their respective affiliates that may provide services or perform obligations under this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter.

applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date) shall be (A) such of the representations made by the Acquired Business and/or the sellers of the Acquired Business or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or with respect to the Acquired Business or its operations in the Acquisition Documents as are material to the interests of the Lenders (the “Specified Purchase Agreement Representations”), but only to the extent that you or your affiliates have the right to terminate your or their respective obligations under the Acquisition Documents or otherwise decline to close the Acquisition or terminate the Tender Offer (as defined in Annex B) as a result of a breach of any such Specified Purchase Agreement Representations or any such Specified Purchase Agreement Representations not being accurate (in each case, determined without regard to any notice requirement) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the New Credit Facilities Loan Documents shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the New Credit Facilities on the New Closing Date (or the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date) if the conditions set forth in or referred to in this Commitment Letter are satisfied (it being understood that, to the extent any security interest in any collateral referenced under the heading “Security” in Annex C-2 hereto (other than security interests in the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Business) and other security interests that may be perfected by (x) the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code, (y) the delivery of certificates evidencing the equity securities required to be pledged pursuant to the terms of Annex C-2 hereto and (z) the filing of short-form security agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable) is not or cannot be perfected on the New Closing Date (or the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then the perfection of such security interests shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the New Credit Facilities on the New Closing Date (or the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date), but instead shall be required to be delivered after the New Closing Date (or the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date) pursuant to arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Company acting reasonably (but not to exceed 60 days after the New Closing Date (or the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date), unless extended by the Administrative Agent). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties set forth in Annex C-2 relating to due organization and corporate existence of the Borrower and the Guarantors and good standing of the Borrower and the Guarantors; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability, in each case, relating to the Borrower and the Guarantors entering into and performance of the New Credit Facilities Loan Documents; no conflicts with or consents under the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s organizational documents or applicable law; no breach or violation of material agreements (unless such breach or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole); solvency as of the New Closing Date (and the applicable date of initial funding if the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date) (after giving effect to the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Tender Offer, the Acquisition and the financing thereof); use of proceeds; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment Company Act; the PATRIOT Act; OFAC; creation, validity and, subject to the parenthetical in the immediately preceding sentence, perfection of security interests in the collateral.

themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or will be, an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect: any Effect (A) in or generally affecting the economy or the financial or securities markets in the countries or industries in which the Acquired Business operates generally or (B) to the extent resulting from or arising out of (1) any changes in law or GAAP, (2) any natural disasters or weather-related event, (3) any changes in national or international political conditions, including any engagement in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to the declaration of a national emergency or war, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of war, sabotage or terrorism, (4) the Target’s failure to meet any internal or published projections, forecasts or revenue or earnings predictions (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such failure may be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could reasonably be expected to be, an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect), (5) any change in the market price or trading volume of the Target’s securities (it being understood that the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to such change may be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been or could reasonably be expected to be, an Acquired Business Material Adverse Effect unless such change results from the matters set forth in clauses (A) or (B)(1), (2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8) or (9)), (6) costs incurred by the Target in connection with the Acquisition Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, including financial advisory and legal costs, including legal costs resulting from the execution or announcement of the Acquisition Agreement, (7) any change attributable predominantly to the negotiation, execution, announcement, pendency or pursuit of the Transactions (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement), including any cancellation or delays in customer orders, any reduction in sales and any disruption in supplier, distributor, partner or similar relationships, (8) the matters specifically identified in Part B of the Disclosure Schedule of the Acquisition Agreement, (9) any change arising from or relating to compliance with the express terms of the Acquisition Agreement, or action taken, or failure to act, to which you or BidCo (as defined in Annex B) and the Arranger have consented, but only to the extent, in each of clauses (A), (B)(1), (B)(2) and (B)(3) that such Effect does not affect the Acquired Business, taken as a whole, in a disproportionate manner relative to other participants in the industries in which the Acquired Business operates.

 

3. Syndication.

The Arranger intends and reserves the right to syndicate the applicable Senior Credit Facility to the Incremental Lenders and the New Facility Lenders, as applicable, and you acknowledge and agree that the commencement of syndication shall occur in the discretion of the Arranger.

The Arranger will lead the syndication, including determining the timing of all offers to potential Incremental Lenders or New Facility Lenders, any title of agent or similar designations or roles awarded to any Incremental Lender or New Facility Lender, the number of Incremental Lenders or New Facility Lenders and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided to each Incremental Lender or New Facility Lender from the amounts to be paid to the Arranger pursuant to the terms of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter. The Arranger will determine the final commitment allocations and will notify the Company of such determinations. The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Arranger’s syndication efforts benefit from the existing lending relationships of the Company, the Acquired Business and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

The Company agrees to, and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to, assist the Arranger in achieving a syndication of the applicable Senior Credit Facility that is satisfactory to us and you.

In addition, if (A) requested by the Arranger in connection with the exercise by the Arranger of its rights pursuant to the section of the Fee Letter entitled “Market Flex” or (B) signature pages to the Amendment from the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are not received and released from escrow on or prior to the Required Amendment Approval Date, then, in either case, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at your expense, (1) Corporate Ratings (as defined below) and (2) a current rating with respect to each of the Senior Credit Facilities from each of S&P and Moody’s (each as defined below), in each case, at least 7 days prior to the New Closing Date. For purposes of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter, “Corporate Ratings” means (x) a current corporate rating with respect to the Company from Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) and (y) a current corporate family rating with respect to the Company from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”).

The Company further agrees that the commitments and agreements of Wells Fargo hereunder are conditioned upon the Arranger being afforded a period to solicit consents to the Amendment and syndicate the Senior Credit Facilities that is no less than 30 business days following the date of a formal public press release by the Company announcing (i) the Acquisition and/or (ii) the execution of the Acquisition Agreement with the Target (such date, the “Marketing Period Commencement Date”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, the completion of the syndication of any Senior Credit Facility shall not constitute a condition precedent to the New Closing Date and it is acknowledged and agreed that (1) in the event that signature pages to the Amendment from the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are received and released from escrow on or prior to the Required Amendment Approval Date and the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (including this section and in Annex C-1 and the schedule thereto) are satisfied, nothing herein shall impair the availability of the Incremental Term Loan on or after the date that is 30 business days after the Marketing Period Commencement Date, and (2) in the event that signature pages to the Amendment from the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) are not received and released from escrow on or prior to the Required Amendment Approval Date, then, provided that the other conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (including this section and in Annex C-2 and the schedule thereto) are satisfied, nothing herein shall impair the availability of the New Credit Facilities on or after the date that is 30 business days after the Marketing Period Commencement Date.

The Company acknowledges that certain of the Incremental Lenders or New Facility Lenders may be public side lenders (i.e. lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company, the Acquired Business or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). At the request of the Arranger, the Company agrees to prepare, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business to assist in such preparation, an additional version of the Information (including, without limitation, any Confidential Information Memorandum and any Lender Presentation) to be used by Public Lenders that does not contain material non-public information concerning the Company, the Acquired Business, or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or securities. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, you will provide, and cause all other applicable persons to provide, authorization letters to the Arranger authorizing the distribution of the Information to prospective Public Lenders, containing a representation to the Arranger that the public-side version does not include material non-public information about the Company, the Acquired Business, or their respective affiliates or its or their respective securities.

You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (i) the New Closing Date and (ii) the termination of the syndication of the Senior Credit Facilities as determined by the Arranger, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information and financial projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and financial projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. You acknowledge that we may share with any of our affiliates (it being understood that such affiliates will be subject to the confidentiality agreements between you and us), and such affiliates may share with us, any information related to you, the Acquired Business, or any of your or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates (including, without limitation, in each case, information relating to creditworthiness) and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ANNEX A

In the event that either of the Wells Fargo Parties or any of their respective affiliates, partners, members, directors, officers, agents, advisors, employees and/or controlling persons and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by or against any person, including shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders of the Company or the Acquired Business in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter (together, the “Letters”), the Company agrees to periodically reimburse each Indemnified Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith. The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless against any and all actions, suits, penalties, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind or nature (including reasonable legal expenses), joint or several, to any such person in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Letters, including the use or contemplated use of proceeds (whether or not such investigation, litigation, claim or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Person and whether or not any such Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated), except with respect to each Indemnified Person to the extent that such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability has been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, in performing the services that are the subject of the Letters. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold such Indemnified Person harmless, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Company and the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders on the one hand and (ii) such Indemnified Person, respectively, on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Letters as well as the relative fault of (A) the Company and the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders on the one hand and (B) such Indemnified Person, with respect to such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this paragraph will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and each Indemnified Person. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person will have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company or any other person in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Letters, except in the case of the Company, to the extent that any penalties, expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person in performing the services that are the subject of the Letters; provided, however, that in no event will any Indemnified Person or such other parties have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnified Person’s activities related to the Letters. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Person affected thereby, settle any threatened or pending action or claim that would give rise to the right of any Indemnified Person to claim indemnification hereunder unless such settlement (a) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnified Person and (b) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person The provisions of this Annex A will survive any termination or completion of the arrangement provided by the Letters.

ANNEX B

Transactions

The Company intends to acquire the Acquired Business, pursuant to (i) the purchase by BidCo (as defined below) of all of the Target’s Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) from the holder thereof at a cash price equal to the “Series A-1 Preference Amount” (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights for the Preferred Shares filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 3, 2006) immediately following the purchase of Shares (as defined below) tendered to, and accepted by, BidCo pursuant to the Tender Offer (as defined below) on the Tender Offer Closing Date (as defined below) pursuant to a shareholder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger (the “Shareholder Agreement”) and (ii) a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) by a newly-formed special purpose vehicle that is a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (“BidCo”) to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of the Target (the “Shares”), including any Shares that may become outstanding upon the exercise of options or other rights to acquire Shares after the commencement of the Tender Offer but before the Tender Offer Closing Date (as defined below), which Tender Offer shall be conditioned upon, inter alia, the stockholders of the Target having validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Tender Offer (as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer), at least that number of Shares that, together with the Preferred Shares to be acquired by the BidCo pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, constitute a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Target that, on a fully diluted basis, are entitled to vote in connection with any required shareholder vote with respect to the Acquisition. The date on which the Shares are initially accepted for payment under the Tender Offer is referred to as the “Tender Offer Closing Date”. If the Tender Offer Closing Date occurs, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company intends to cause BidCo to merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Target, with the Target surviving such Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and in furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and BidCo shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all corporate, stockholder and other action necessary to cause the Merger to occur, including, without limitation, the completion of the purchase of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Shareholder Agreement. As used herein, “Merger Closing Date” shall mean the date of the consummation of the Merger. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to a transaction agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger (the “Acquisition Agreement”) among Company, BidCo and the Target. In connection with the Tender Offer, if the stockholders of the Target that constitute a sufficient percentage of the then-outstanding shares (when aggregated with the percentage of the then-outstanding shares consisting of the Preferred Shares purchased by BidCo pursuant to the Acquisition Documents) necessary to complete a “short-form merger” under Delaware state law shall have validly tendered and not withdrawn their shares as of the Tender Offer Closing Date, the Merger shall be consummated substantially concurrently with the initial funding (or release from escrow) of the Incremental Term Loan or the New Credit Facilities, as applicable. Otherwise, the Merger shall occur after the New Closing Date substantially concurrently with the final release of funds from the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account (as defined in Annex C-1) or the New Credit Facilities Escrow Account (as defined in Annex C-2), as applicable.

In connection with the Acquisition, (i) the Company shall obtain the Incremental Term Loan or the New Credit Facilities, as applicable, in order to finance the consideration for the Acquisition, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Preferred Shares (such consideration, the “Acquisition Consideration”), which consideration shall not exceed $275 million (such amount, the “Maximum Consideration”), (ii) (A) all indebtedness of the Acquired Business shall be repaid in full (and all commitments thereunder terminated and security interests released) and (B) solely to the extent that the New Credit Facilities are effected, all indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be repaid in full on the New Closing Date (and all commitments thereunder terminated and security

interests released) and (iii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing (the “Transaction Costs”) will be paid. The transactions described under this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

Borrower:    ACI Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Borrower).
Guarantors:    Each of the Borrower’s material existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries (including, without limitation, BidCo and the Acquired Business (collectively, the “Guarantors”)) will guarantee (the “Guarantee”) all obligations under the Incremental Term Loan.

Incremental Term Loan

Availability:

   A term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”), to be effected pursuant to Section 2.8 of the Existing Credit Agreement, available to the Borrower in a single draw on the New Closing Date (or to the extent the New Closing Date is before the Tender Offer Closing Date, the Tender Offer Closing Date or such earlier date as requested by the Borrower).
   If the Merger shall occur after the Tender Offer Closing Date, to the extent that the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan funded on the Tender Offer Closing Date exceed an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the Acquisition Consideration that is required to be paid under the Tender Offer Documents in respect of the Shares accepted by, and tendered to, BidCo on the Tender Offer Closing Date, (B) the portion of the Acquisition Consideration that is required to be paid under the Acquisition Documents in respect of the Preferred Shares purchased by BidCo, (C) the Transaction Costs payable on the Tender Offer Closing Date in connection with the Tender Offer and the purchase of the Preferred Shares by BidCo, (D) the amount necessary to refinance all existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business to be refinanced on the Tender Offer Closing Date and (E) all fees, commissions and expenses payable on or prior to the Tender Offer Closing Date in connection with the Incremental Term Loan, the excess proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan shall be funded directly into a blocked account of the Borrower held at the Administrative Agent, which account shall be subject to a perfected first priority security interest to secure the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Incremental Term Loan pursuant to arrangements and documentation (including, without limitation, a control agreement and escrow terms and conditions) in form and substance reasonably

To the extent mutually agreed by the Arranger and the Borrower, the arrangements in this paragraph may be effected by restructuring the Incremental Term Loan as a delayed draw term facility of two or more draws with amounts that otherwise would have been paid into the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account available to be borrowed thereunder following the Tender Offer Closing Date on the same terms as the release of proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account, and with unused fees on such unused portion in an amount equal to the rate of the Incremental Term Loan Unused Fee (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount of the Incremental Term Loan that is requested by the Borrower before the Tender Offer Closing Date shall be funded in full into the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account.
Purpose/Use of Proceeds:    The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan will be used as follows:
  

(a)     Prior to the Tender Offer Closing Date: Proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan funded on or prior to the Tender Offer Closing Date will be used on the Tender Offer Closing Date to (i) finance that portion of the Acquisition Consideration that is required to be paid under the Tender Offer Documents in respect of the Shares accepted by, and tendered to, BidCo on the Tender Offer Closing Date, (ii) finance that portion of the Acquisition Consideration that is required to be paid under the Acquisition Documents in respect of the Preferred Shares purchased by BidCo, (iii) finance the Transaction Costs payable on the Tender Offer Closing Date in connection with the Tender Offer and the purchase of the Preferred Shares by BidCo, (iv) refinance all existing indebtedness of the Acquired Business (except to the extent permitted to remain outstanding under Existing Credit Agreement and the other Incremental Loan Documents) and (v) finance the payment of all fees, commissions and expenses payable in connection with the Incremental Term Loan (with the remainder of such proceeds, if applicable, to be funded into the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account).

  

(b)     Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account: If applicable, proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan deposited into the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account will be used as described in the section above entitled “Incremental Term Loan Availability”.

Amortization:   The outstanding principal amount of the New Term Facility will be payable in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Facility (with the remainder due and payable on the New Term Facility Maturity Date); provided that any amortization payments made prior to the consummation of the Merger shall be applied first to the portion of the New Term Facility received by the Borrower and thereafter to amounts in the New Credit Facilities Escrow Account.
  No amortization will be required with respect to the New Revolving Facility.
Swingline Loans:   At the option of the Swingline Lender, $10,000,000 of the New Revolving Facility may be made available as swing line loans.
Letters of Credit:   $25,000,000 of the New Revolving Facility may be made available for the issuance of letters of credit by the Issuing Lender (“Letters of Credit”).
Interest Rates:   All amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facilities will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined below) or (b) the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
  The applicable margin for the New Credit Facilities (the “Applicable Margin”):
  (a)    with respect to the New Term Facility, will be (i) 2.00% with respect to Base Rate Loans and (ii) 3.00% with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans; and
  (b)    beginning on the Calculation Date occurring after the date on which the Borrower delivers to the New Facility Lenders financial statements for the second full fiscal quarter after the New Closing Date, with respect to the New Revolving Facility, will be determined by the pricing grid below based on the ratio (calculated in a manner substantially similar to such calculation in the Existing Credit Agreement) of (x) consolidated indebtedness of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements to (y) Consolidated EBITDA as of the date of such financial statements (the “Leverage Ratio”); provided that prior to the Calculation Date after the Borrower delivers to the New Facility Lenders financial statements for the second full fiscal quarter after the New Closing Date, the

   <1.00:1.00      0.50     1.50     0.25

 

   As used herein, the terms “Base Rate” and “reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate” will have meanings customary and appropriate for financings of this type, and the basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be customary and appropriate for financings of this type. In no event shall the Base Rate be less than the sum of (i) the one-month reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus (ii) the difference between the applicable stated margin for reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans and the applicable stated margin for Base Rate loans. In no event shall the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to the New Term Facility be less than 1.25%.
   After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on all amounts then outstanding will accrue at a rate equal to the rate on loans bearing interest at the rate determined by reference to the Base Rate plus an additional two percentage points (2.00%) per annum and will be payable on demand.
Interest Payments:    Quarterly for loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate; except as set forth below, on the last day of selected interest periods (which will be one, two, three and six months) for loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods of longer than three months); and upon prepayment, in each case payable in arrears and computed on the basis of a 360-day year (365/366-day year with respect to certain loans bearing interest with reference to the Base Rate).

 

Annex C-2-Page 6


Funding Protection:    Customary for transactions of this type, including breakage costs, gross-up for withholding, compensation for increased costs and compliance with capital adequacy and other regulatory restrictions.

New Term Loan Unused Fee:

All accrued New Term Loan Unused Fees will be fully earned and due and payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on a 360-day basis) and on the New Term Loan Unused Fee Termination Date and shall be for the account of the New Facility Lenders (excluding any Defaulting Lenders) making the New Term Loan and will accrue from the New Closing Date.
Commitment Fees:    Commitment fees will be payable on the daily average undrawn portion of the New Revolving Facility (reduced by the amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding) based upon the Leverage Ratio from time to time as set forth in the pricing grid above and will be payable quarterly in arrears from the New Closing Date; provided that prior to the Calculation Date after the date on which the Borrower delivers to New Facility Lenders financial statements for the second full fiscal quarter after the New Closing Date, the commitment fee shall not be less than the percentage set forth in Level II of such pricing grid.
Letters of Credit Fees:    A fee equal to (i) the Applicable Margin then in effect for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate made under the New Revolving Facility, times (ii) the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit, will be payable quarterly in arrears to the New Facility Lenders under the New Revolving Facility. In addition, a fronting fee in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), per annum and payable quarterly in arrears, will be payable to the Issuing Lender, as well as certain customary fees assessed thereby.
Voluntary Prepayments:    The New Term Facility may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty (other than the Call Premium (as defined below)); provided that loans bearing interest with reference to the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be prepayable only on the last day of the related interest period unless the Borrower pays any related breakage costs; provided further that any voluntary prepayments made prior to the consummation of the Merger shall be applied first to the portion of the New Term Facility received by the Borrower and thereafter to amounts in the New Credit Facilities Escrow Account. Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Facility will be applied to scheduled amortization payments as directed by the Borrower.
