Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have advised Credit Suisse AG (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, “CS”), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS Securities”, and together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse”), The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (“RBS Bank”) and RBS Securities Inc. (“RBS Securities” and, together with RBS Bank, “RBS” and together with Credit Suisse, the “Commitment Parties”, “we”, or “us”) that you intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”) GTCS Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), from GTH LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and to consummate the other Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to such term in the Summary of Principal First Lien Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “First Lien Facilities Term Sheet”) or in the Summary of Principal Second Lien Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Second Lien Facility Term Sheet” and, together with the First Lien Facilities Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”)).
You have further advised us that, in connection therewith, the Borrower will obtain (a) the first lien senior secured credit facilities (the “First Lien Facilities”) described in the First Lien Facilities Term Sheet, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $530,000,000 and (b) the second lien senior secured term loan facility (the “Second Lien Term Facility”) described in the Second Lien Facility Term Sheet in a principal amount of up to $265,000,000. The First Lien Facilities and the Second Lien Term Facility are collectively referred to herein as the “Facilities”.

In connection with the foregoing, (a) CS is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 50% of the principal amount of the Facilities and (b) RBS Bank (in such capacity, an “Initial Lender” and, together with CS, the “Initial Lenders”) is pleased to advise you of its
Commitment Letter

 

 


 

commitment to provide 50% of the principal amount of the Facilities, in each case upon the terms set forth in this commitment letter (including the Term Sheets and other attachments hereto, this “Commitment Letter”), and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6 of this Commitment Letter, the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in the First Lien Facilities Term Sheet, the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Borrowing” in the Second Lien Facility Term Sheet and Exhibit C to this Commitment Letter. The commitments of CS and RBS Bank hereunder will be allocated ratably among the Facilities and are several and not joint.
2.  
Titles and Roles.
You hereby appoint (a) CS Securities and RBS Securities to act, and CS Securities and RBS Securities hereby agree to act, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers for the Facilities (in such capacities, the “Arrangers”), and (b) CS to act, and CS hereby agrees to act, as sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent for the Facilities (in such capacities, the “Agent”), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. Each of the Commitment Parties, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. You agree that Credit Suisse will have “left” placement, and RBS will appear immediately to the right of Credit Suisse, in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.
3.  
Syndication.
The Arrangers reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of definitive documentation for the Facilities, to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments with respect to the Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by the Arrangers in consultation with you, and you agree to provide the Arrangers with a period of at least 30 consecutive days immediately prior to the Closing Date to syndicate the Facilities. Notwithstanding the Arrangers right to syndicate the Facilities and receive commitments in respect thereof, (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its commitments hereunder) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Facilities, including their commitments in respect thereof, until after the initial funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date has occurred and (ii) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitment in respect of the Facilities until the initial funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date. We intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter, and you agree to actively assist us in completing a satisfactory syndication. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Company, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company) and the proposed Lenders, (c) assistance by you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist) in the preparation of a Confidential Information Memorandum for each of the Facilities (each, a “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials and presentations to be used in connection with the syndication (the “Information Materials”), (d) your providing or causing to be provided a detailed business plan or projections of you and

your subsidiaries for the years 2011 through 2016 and for the four quarters beginning with the second quarter of 2011, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers (the “Plan Deliverables”), it being understood and agreed that the Plan Deliverables provided to the Arrangers prior to the date hereof are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers; it being further understood and agreed that you shall promptly provide any significant revisions to such business plan or projections to the Arrangers and that such revised business plan or projections shall constitute Plan Deliverables only if such revisions are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers, (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly after the launch of the general syndication and prior to the Closing Date of a public corporate credit rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“S&P”) and a public corporate family rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), in each case with respect to you, and public ratings for each of the Facilities from each of S&P and Moody’s, (f) the hosting, with the Arrangers, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders and (g) your ensuring that prior to and during the syndication of the Facilities, there are no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Company or their respective subsidiaries being announced, offered, placed or arranged (other than securitizations and lines of credit obtained by the Borrower, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, in each case, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Purchase Agreement) without the consent of the Arrangers, if such issues, offerings, placements or arrangements could reasonably be expected to impair the primary syndication of the Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter or any other agreement or undertaking to the contrary, the obtaining of the ratings referenced above shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date.
You agree, at the request of the Arrangers, to assist in the preparation of a version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, consisting exclusively of information and documentation that is either (a) publicly available (or, in the case of the Company, of a type that would be publicly available if the Company were a public reporting company) or (b) not material with respect to you, the Company or your and its subsidiaries or any of your and its securities for purposes of foreign, United States Federal and state securities laws (all such Information Materials being “Public Lender Information”). Any information and documentation that is not Public Lender Information is referred to herein as “Private Lender Information”. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to the Arrangers, (i) a letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to Lenders’ employees willing to receive Private Lender Information and (ii) a separate letter in which you authorize distribution of Information Materials containing solely Public Lender Information and represent that such Information Materials do not contain any Private Lender Information, which letter shall in each case include a representation substantially in the form of the representation set forth in Section 4. You further agree that each document to be disseminated by any Arranger to any Lender in connection with the Facilities will, at the request of such Arranger, be identified by you as either (A) containing Private Lender Information or (B) containing solely Public Lender Information. You acknowledge that the following documents contain solely Public Lender Information (unless you notify us promptly prior to their intended distribution that any such document contains Private Lender Information): (1) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Facilities, including term sheets; (2) administrative materials prepared by the Commitment Parties for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda); (3) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities; and (4) other materials (excluding the
Commitment Letter

Projections (as defined below)) intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials.
The Arrangers will manage all aspects of any syndication in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders, any naming rights and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. To assist the Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company promptly to provide) to the Arrangers all information with respect to you, the Company and your and its subsidiaries, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as the Arrangers may reasonably request.
Without limiting your obligation to assist with the syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement of syndication or completion of Successful Syndication (as defined in the Facilities Fee Letter) constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date.
4.  
Information.
Subject to the second paragraph of Section 6, you hereby represent and covenant that (a) all written information other than the Projections and information of a general economic or industry nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of you and the Company and upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are made available to such Commitment Party (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies and that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized). You agree that if at any time prior to the later of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of a Successful Syndication of the Facilities, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances. In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
5.

Guarantees:
  All obligations of the Borrower under the First Lien Facilities and under any interest rate protection or other hedging arrangements entered into with the Agent, any Arranger, an entity that is a Lender at the time of such transaction or any affiliate of any of the foregoing (“Hedging Arrangements”) will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiary of the Borrower, other than (x) any special purpose vehicle, trust or other similar entity in existence on the date hereof and (y) other subsidiaries to be mutually agreed upon (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”).
 
   
Security:
  The First Lien Facilities, the Guarantees and any Hedging Arrangements will be secured by substantially all the assets of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, whether owned on the Closing Date or thereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”), including but not limited to: (a) a perfected first priority pledge of all the equity interests held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, shall be limited to 100% of the non-voting equity interests (if any) and 66% of the voting equity interests of such foreign subsidiary) and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (including but not limited to accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, investment property, intellectual property, real property, cash, deposit and securities accounts, commercial tort claims, letter of credit rights, intercompany notes and proceeds of the foregoing).

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include: (i) amounts collected from borrowers in connection with the servicing of loans to the extent

  required to be turned over to the holders of such loans, (ii) servicing rights relating to mortgage loans owned or controlled by an independent third party financing source (including government sponsored enterprises) (“Pledged MSR”) and subject to liens securing existing and future permitted indebtedness incurred by a subsidiary of the Borrower from such third party financing source to purchase such servicing rights (“MSR Purchase Money Lines”), (iii) mortgage loans and related assets subject to repurchase agreements to the extent such repurchase agreements constitute permitted indebtedness under the definitive documentation in respect of the First Lien Facilities, (iv) vehicles and leaseholds, (v) contracts with an unaffiliated third party that contain a valid and enforceable prohibition on assignment, but only so long as such prohibition exists and the Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the counterparty to the grant of the liens contemplated herein, (vi) equipment subject to certain permitted liens (to the extent the liens and security interests of the Agent and the Lenders are not permitted by the applicable permitted lien), (vii) payroll accounts, trust accounts, accounts solely holding cash for the benefit of third parties and other accounts to be agreed, (viii) pledges and security interests prohibited by any effective applicable law and (ix) any asset to the extent the cost of obtaining a security interest thereon would, in the reasonably determination of the Agent, be excessive in relation to the benefit thereof.
 
   
Intercreditor Arrangements:
  The liens securing the Second Lien Term Facility will be second in priority to the liens securing the First Lien Facilities and the liens securing any Hedging Arrangements. The priority of the security interests in the Collateral and related creditors’ rights will be set forth in customary intercreditor provisions included in the collateral documents (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). The Intercreditor Agreement will contain, among other things, customary agreements between the holders of the obligations under the First Lien Facilities and the holders of the obligations under the Second Lien Term Facility with regard to (and with customary exceptions) (i) the subordination of the liens securing the Second Lien Term Facility, (ii) the right of the holders of obligations under the First Lien Facilities to control the enforcement of remedies with respect to Collateral, subject to a standstill period, and to control the release of
