No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.
          (e) The Company agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Company shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued to it hereunder.

          (i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Company of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Primary Revolving Lender);

for the account of the Company (or for the joint account of the Company and any Group Member) no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Company receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Company shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Company is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Primary Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Primary Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Primary Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Primary Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Primary Revolving Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Primary Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Primary Revolving Lender, such Primary Revolving Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Primary Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Primary Revolving Loan to the Company in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Company a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Primary Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Primary Revolving Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Primary Revolving Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.
          (i) If and to the extent such Primary Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Primary Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Interbank Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Primary Revolving Credit Facility.
          (j) The obligation of the Company to pay each of its Reimbursement Obligations and the obligations of the Primary Revolving Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be

absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:
          (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
          (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
          (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Company, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
          (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
          (v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
          (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Company hereunder.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Company or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

Any unused Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Closing Date. In addition, all outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Termination Date.
          (b) The then current Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced on each date on which a prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans is made pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) (Mandatory Prepayments) in connection with any Permitted Receivables Financing or would be required to be made had the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Loans equaled the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in each case, in the amount of such prepayment (or deemed prepayment) (and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be reduced by its Ratable Portion of such amount).

In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount and recipient of each Loan made and, if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by each Borrower to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by each Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that any Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by such Borrower hereunder, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans and Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note), respectively.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such excess results solely by reason of a change in exchange rates, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to make such prepayment unless the amount of such excess causes the Primary Revolving Credit Outstandings or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings, as the case may be, to exceed the Primary Revolving Credit Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, by more than 110%.

Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to cause (b) above or otherwise on demand.
          Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option
          (a) Each Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.
          (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Company or the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.
          Section 2.12 Fees
          (a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Company agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars to each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Lender exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal Quarter ending after the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued to it by any Issuer:
          (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to a percentage per annum to be agreed between the Company and the applicable Issuer of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) at the end of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal Quarter ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;
          (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Revolving Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) at the end of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal Quarter ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), (b) or (f) or, upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders to the Company, any other Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum (instead of, and not in addition to, any increase pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Interest)) and shall be payable on demand; and
          (iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.
          (c) Additional Fees. The Company has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.
          Section 2.13 Payments and Computations
          (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d) (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be

61


 

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
paid only to the applicable Swing Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
          (b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 360 days and, in the case of Base Rate Loans, 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          (c) Each payment by any Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.
          (d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Primary Revolving Loans, Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurocurrency Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurocurrency Interest Periods.
          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower to the applicable Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.
          (f) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the

62


 

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Administrative Agent may have advanced to such Borrower pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable (provided, however, that no amount received from, or on behalf of, any Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be applied to pay the U.S. Obligations) and third, as the Company so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the applicable Swing Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each applicable Revolving Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; payments in respect of the Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term Loan Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Term Loans; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.
          (g) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising from a Deferred Prepayment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Deferred Prepayment Notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:
          (i) first, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;
          (ii) second, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the other Secured Parties;
          (iii) third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Secured Parties;
          (iv) fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Secured Obligations;
          (v) fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Secured Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit); and
          (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Secured Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of each Secured Party’s interest in the aggregate outstanding

63


 

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Secured Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Credit Agreement Obligations shall be allocated first to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or any Borrower; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Swing Loans until such Loans are repaid in full and then to repay the Revolving Loans; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any order of application stated above, proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied solely against the Secured Obligations secured thereby. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Company, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.
          Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans
          (a) Determination of Interest Rate
          The Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrowers.
          (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair
          In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurocurrency Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
          (c) Increased Costs
          If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to

64


 

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          (d) Illegality
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.
          (e) Breakage Costs
          In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), each Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Company or a Borrower or in a telephonic request by such Borrower for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to repay Eurocurrency Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrowers concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.
          Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy
          If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of

65


 

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
          Section 2.16 Taxes
          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized and (B) any U.S. withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of (x) an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance, (y) a successor Administrative Agent, the date of the appointment of such Administrative Agent, and (z) a successor Issuer, the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer) applicable to such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any U.S. withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance or the date of such appointment of such Administrative Agent or the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer) and (ii) in the case of each Lender or each Issuer, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or such Issuer (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16, such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.
          (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United

66

States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).
          (c) Each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Loan Party shall not be obligated to make payment to a Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) with respect to penalties, interest and expenses to the extent that such amounts are attributable to a Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
          (e) If a Lender, Issuer or the Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) such Loan Party shall promptly return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such Person in the event such Person is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority, (ii) such Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disclose to any Loan Party or any other Person any information regarding its tax affairs and computations and (iii) nothing herein shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Lender, Issuer or Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.
          (f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Guaranty, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.
          (g) (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or

          (A) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form;
          (B) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form;
          (C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form; or
          (D) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.
Unless the Company and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
          (ii) Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, on or prior to the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or on or prior to the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Company with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

          (h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a

68

change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

          (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
          (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders in any Facility, the consent of the Requisite Lenders, the Requisite Primary Revolving Lenders, the Requisite Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or the Requisite Term Loan Lenders, in each case, as required in clause (a) above, is obtained, but the consent of any Lender (whose consent is also required) is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, as long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Company’s request, an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Lender and all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Term Loan Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

          (e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following:
          (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and
          (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Company from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Company, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.
          (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold and provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the any Group Member involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the any Group Member, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien (associated with any Group Member or any property owned, operated or leased by any Group Member) and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws (associated with any Group Member or any property owned, operated or leased by any Group Member), whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to any Group Member, or the owner, lessee or operator of

In the event that such indemnitee requests the Company to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Company shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.
