Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMorgan”) and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“BTMU” and together with JPMorgan Chase Bank and JPMorgan, the “Commitment Parties”, “us” or “we”) that Total System Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“you” or the “Borrower”) intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”), through a merger, NetSpend Holdings, Inc. (the “Target”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (together with all exhibits, schedules and disclosure letters thereto, the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of February 19, 2013 among the Target, General Merger Sub, Inc. and the Borrower. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings assigned to them in the Exhibits attached hereto. This letter, Exhibit A (the “Summary of Terms”) and Exhibit B attached hereto, are collectively referred to as the Commitment Letter. The Acquisition, the entering into and funding of the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) and all related transactions are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transaction.”

In connection therewith (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank is pleased to offer to be the sole administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for a $1,200 million senior bridge term loan facility to the Borrower (the “Term Loan Facility”), (b) BTMU is pleased to offer to be the sole syndication agent (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”) for the Term Loan Facility and (c) each of JPMorgan Chase Bank and BTMU (collectively the “Lead Banks”) is pleased to offer its commitment (on a several and not joint basis) to provide $900 million and $300 million, respectively, of the Term Loan Facility, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter (it being understood that any event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date that would result in a mandatory prepayment


with respect to the Term Loan Facility after the funding thereof as set forth in Exhibit A shall reduce commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facility under this Commitment Letter or result in a prepayment of Term Loans, as applicable, as set forth on Exhibit A. In addition, (i) JPMorgan is pleased to advise you of its willingness in connection with the foregoing commitments, to act as the sole bookrunner for the Term Loan Facility (in such capacity, the “Bookrunner”) and (ii) JPMorgan and BTMU are each pleased to advise you of their willingness in connection with the foregoing commitments, to act as joint lead arrangers (in such capacities collectively, the “Lead Arrangers”) for the Term Loan Facility.

It is agreed that (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank will act as sole Administrative Agent for the Term Loan Facility, (b) BTMU will act as sole Syndication Agent for the Term Loan Facility, (c) JPMorgan will act as the Bookrunner for the Term Loan Facility and (d) JPMorgan and BTMU will each act as a Lead Arranger for the Term Loan Facility. It is further agreed that JPMorgan will have “lead left” placement in any and all marketing materials and documentation used in connection with the Term Loan Facility and have authority typically associated with “lead left” placement. No other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed and no other titles will be awarded without the prior consent of the Commitment Parties.

The commitments and/or agreements of each Commitment Party hereunder are subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit B and the following conditions precedent: (a) the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility (the “Term Facility Documentation”) consistent with this Commitment Letter and Fee Letters and otherwise satisfactory to you and such Commitment Party and (b) since September 30, 2012, there shall not have been any Target Material Adverse Effect. As used herein, “Target Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, circumstance, effect, occurrence, condition, state of facts or development, either individually or in the aggregate with any such other item, that is materially adverse to (I) the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or other) or results of operations of the Target and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (II) the ability of the Target to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, other than, in each case, any event, change, circumstance, effect, occurrence, condition, state of facts or development (individually or in the aggregate) arising out of or resulting from (a) a decrease in the market price or the trading volume of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in and of itself, or any failure by the Target to meet any published public estimates of the Target’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period, in and of itself, or any failure by the Target to meet any internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations, in and of itself (but not, in each case, the facts or occurrences giving rise or contributing to any such changes or failures, which may be taken into account in determining whether there is a Target Material Adverse Effect), (b) general political, tax, economic or business conditions in the United States or any country or region in the world in which the Target or any of its subsidiaries does business, or any changes therein, or general financial, securities, credit or capital market conditions, including interest rates or exchange rates, or any changes therein, and including, in each case, any such event, change, circumstance, effect, occurrence, condition, state of facts or development arising out of or resulting from acts of war (whether or not declared) or the commencement, continuation or escalation of a war, acts of armed hostility or terrorism, (c) changes in U.S. GAAP, applicable law or authoritative interpretations thereof, (d) any change or effect generally affecting the industries or business segments in which the Target operates, (e) any hurricane, earthquake, flood or other natural disasters or acts of God, (f) any change or effect attributable to the execution or announcement of the Merger Agreement or the performance of the Target’s express obligations thereunder (including compliance with the covenants set forth therein), other than (1) the termination of relationships with any person or group or related persons (each, a “Core Counterparty”) under the Contracts (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with each such Core Counterparty set forth on Section 3.1 of the Disclosure Schedule to the Merger Agreement, or (2) any inaccuracy or breach of the

 

-2-


representation set forth in Section 3.4(b) of the Merger Agreement or (g) the performance by you or any of your Affiliates (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of your express obligations under the Merger Agreement, provided that any event, change, circumstance, effect, occurrence, condition, state of facts or development arising out of or resulting from the matters described in (b) through (e) of this definition shall not be excluded to the extent that such event, change, circumstance, effect, occurrence, condition, state of facts or development disproportionately and adversely affects the Target as compared to other persons engaged in the businesses in which the Target engages.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters (as hereinafter defined) or the Term Facility Documentation to the contrary, (a) the only representations relating to you and your subsidiaries, the Target and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations made by the Target (or its affiliates) in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that the accuracy of any such representation is a condition to your (or your affiliates’) obligations to close under the Merger Agreement or you have the right to terminate your (or your affiliates’) obligations under the Merger Agreement as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (the “Specified Merger Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below), and (b) the terms of the Term Facility Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter are satisfied. For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties referred to in Exhibit A relating to corporate existence and qualification, power and authority to enter into the Term Facility Documentation, due authorization, execution and delivery of, and enforceability of, the Term Facility Documentation, no conflicts with applicable laws in any material respect or with organizational documents (in each case as they relate to entering into and performing the Term Facility Documentation), use of proceeds, solvency (on a consolidated basis), Patriot Act, OFAC (as to compliance in all material respects by the Borrower and its subsidiaries, other than the Target and its subsidiaries), Federal Reserve margin regulations and the Investment Company Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters to the contrary, the only conditions to availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date are set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph and in Exhibit B. This paragraph, and the provisions herein, shall be referred to as the “Limited Conditionality Provision” and shall constitute a condition precedent as referenced in Exhibit B.

The Bookrunner intends to syndicate the Term Loan Facility to a group of lenders identified by it in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you (together with JPMorgan Chase Bank and BTMU, the “Lenders”). The Bookrunner intends to commence syndication of the Term Loan Facility promptly upon your acceptance of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters. You agree to actively assist the Bookrunner in achieving a syndication of the Term Loan Facility that is satisfactory to it and you until the occurrence of a Successful Syndication. Such assistance shall include your (a) providing, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors to provide, the Commitment Parties and the other Lenders upon request with all information (including information and evaluations prepared by you or your advisors) reasonably deemed necessary by the Bookrunner to complete syndication, including, but not limited to, the Projections (as defined below) (the “Information”), (b) assisting in the preparation of a confidential information memoranda (“Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility (the “Information Materials”), (c) using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Bookrunner benefit materially from your existing banking relationships, (d) otherwise assisting the Bookrunner in its syndication efforts, including by making your officers and advisors available to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed and (e) your using your commercially reasonable efforts to obtain corporate credit

 

-3-


and/or corporate family ratings for the Borrower (on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions) from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) as soon as practicable. At the option of the Bookrunner, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (x) to enter into the Term Facility Documentation with the Lenders within 15 days after the date hereof or (y) at your election (in lieu of entering into the Term Facility Documentation), to enter into one or more joinder agreements to this Commitment Letter within 15 days after the date hereof executed by the applicable Lenders, the Commitment Parties and you (“Joinder Agreements”) (which Joinder Agreements shall provide that the commitments of the Lenders thereunder shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the commitments of JPMorgan Chase Bank and BTMU under this Commitment Letter, with the fees payable to such Lenders to be as set forth in such Joinder Agreements, in each case pursuant to which such Lenders shall assume a proportion of the commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facility as set forth in such Term Facility Documentation or Joinder Agreements, as applicable, with a corresponding reduction in the commitments of the Lead Banks by the amount so assumed, provided that, except as otherwise provided above, neither JPMorgan Chase Bank nor BTMU shall be released or novated from their commitments under this Commitment Letter in connection with any other assignments (other than an assignment pursuant to the Term Facility Documentation) contemplated under this Commitment in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility and shall remain obligated with respect to such commitments through the Closing Date notwithstanding any such assignment. To facilitate a Successful Syndication, you agree that, until the earliest of completion of a Successful Syndication, termination of the syndication (as determined by the Bookrunner), and 45 days following the funding of the Term Loan Facility, the Borrower will not, and will not permit its subsidiaries to, offer, syndicate or issue, or attempt to offer, syndicate or issue, any debt securities or syndicated bank financing that, in the reasonable judgment of the Bookrunner, would reasonably be expected to adversely impact in any material respect the syndication of the Term Loan Facility (other than any indebtedness the net proceeds of which are used to prepay or reduce the commitments under the Term Loan Facility).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters, (a) the Borrower shall not be required to disclose communications relating to any litigation or investigation, or the conduct thereof, solely to the extent that such disclosure would reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work product protection applicable thereto, and (b) without limiting your obligation to assist in the syndication of the Term Loan Facility as provided herein, neither of (x) obtaining the ratings referred to above, or (y) the achievement of a Successful Syndication shall constitute a condition precedent to the commitments of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date.

It is understood and agreed that the Bookrunner will manage and control all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders and any titles offered to proposed Lenders, when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders. It is understood that no Lender participating in the Term Loan Facility will receive compensation from you in order to obtain its commitment, except on the terms contained herein, in the Fee Letters (in the case of the Lead Banks and their affiliates, if applicable) and in Exhibit B.

You represent, warrant and covenant that (a) all Information which has been or is hereafter made available to any of the Commitment Parties or the Lenders by you or any of your representatives (or on your or their behalf, but only to your knowledge with respect to any Information that is provided by the Target, its subsidiaries or their Representatives) in connection with any aspect of the Term Loan Facility other than (i) information of a general economic or general industry nature and (ii) all projections, financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information (“Projections”), as and when furnished and taken as a whole (after giving effect to (x) with respect to information delivered on or prior to the date hereof, supplements delivered on or prior to the date hereof and (y) with respect to information

 

-4-


delivered after the date hereof, supplements delivered thereafter), is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us by you or any of your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished to us (it being understood that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material). You agree to furnish us with further and supplemental information from time to time until the later of (x) a Successful Syndication, but in no event exceeding 45 days after the Closing Date and (y) the date of the initial borrowing under the Term Loan Facility (the “Closing Date”) so that the representation, warranty and covenant in the immediately preceding sentence would be correct if the Information were being furnished, and such representation, warranty and covenant were being made, on such date. In issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Term Loan Facility, the Commitment Parties are and will be using and relying on the Information without independent verification thereof.

You acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers on your behalf will make available Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system. In connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing, you shall be under no obligation to provide Information Materials suitable for distribution to any prospective Lender (each, a “Public Lender”) that does not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, “MNPI”) with respect to the Borrower, the Target or their affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing. Prior to distribution of Information Materials to prospective Lenders, you shall provide us with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination thereof.

By executing this Commitment Letter, you agree to reimburse each of the Commitment Parties from time to time on demand for all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses, including, but not limited to, (a) the reasonable and invoiced fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Commitment Parties and the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Commitment Parties shall use a single transaction counsel in connection with the principal negotiation and documentation of this Commitment Letter and the Term Loan Facility (understanding that certain Commitment Parties may have separate outside counsel provide limited review of all documentation at the expense of such Commitment Parties), the fees for which we currently estimate to be in a range separately communicated to you and agree to notify you promptly if we believe such estimate will be exceeded) and (b) out-of-pocket due diligence expenses by each of the Commitment Parties in connection with the Term Loan Facility, the syndication thereof prior to the Closing Date, the preparation of the definitive documentation therefor and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether any definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility shall be executed and delivered, and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or any commitment or undertaking of the Commitment Parties hereunder.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties, each Lender and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against (and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred for) any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) that are actually incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any matters contemplated by this

 

-5-


Commitment Letter (including the Acquisition) or (b) the Term Loan Facility or any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (x) to have resulted from (i) such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or (y) to have arisen out of, or in connection with, any proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by you or any of your affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than a claim related to such Indemnified Person acting as a Bookrunner, Lead Arranger, administrative agent, syndication agent or in another agency or representative capacity). In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the Closing Date occurs. You also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to you or your subsidiaries or affiliates, or to your or their respective equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to or in connection with the Acquisition, this Commitment Letter or any aspect of the Term Loan Facility, except to the extent of direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The foregoing provisions in this paragraph shall be superseded in each case by the applicable provisions contained in the definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility upon the execution thereof and thereafter shall have no further force and effect.

This Commitment Letter, the fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith among you and us (the “Arranger Fee Letter”) and the fee letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith between you, JPMorgan Chase Bank and JPMorgan (the “Agency Fee Letter” and collectively with the Arranger Fee Letter, the “Fee Letters”) and the contents hereof and thereof are confidential and, except for disclosure hereof or thereof as otherwise permitted herein, may not be disclosed in whole or in part to any person or entity without our prior written consent. The Commitment Parties hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), each of them is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies you, the Target and your and their subsidiaries, which information includes your and their names and addresses and other information that will allow each of the Commitment Parties to identify you and them in accordance with the Act.

You acknowledge that the Commitment Parties or their affiliates may be providing financing or other services to parties whose interests may conflict with yours. Each Commitment Party agrees that it will not furnish confidential information obtained from you to any of its other customers and that it will treat confidential information relating to you and your affiliates with the same degree of care as it treats its own confidential information. Each Commitment Party further advises you that it will not make available to you confidential information that it has obtained or may obtain from any other customer. In connection with the services and transactions contemplated hereby, you agree that each Commitment Party is permitted to access, use and, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Commitment Letter or other

 

-6-


applicable confidentiality agreements, share with any of its bank or non-bank affiliates, agents, advisors (legal or otherwise) or representatives any information concerning you or any of your affiliates (but no such information regarding any of your customers) that is or may come into the possession of such Commitment Party or any of such affiliates.

In connection with all aspects of the Term Loan Facility, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services described herein regarding the Term Loan Facility are arm’s-length commercial transactions between you, on the one hand, and each of the Commitment Parties, on the other hand that do not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary duty to you or your affiliates on the part of any of the Commitment Parties, (ii) you have consulted your own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate, and (iii) you are capable of evaluating and understanding, and you understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter; (b) (i) each of the Commitment Parties has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for you or any other person or entity and (ii) none of the Commitment Parties has any obligation to you or any other person or entity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (c) each of the Commitment Parties and each of their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from yours and those of your affiliates, and none of the Commitment Parties has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to you or your affiliates. You agree that you will not claim that any Commitment Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to you, in connection with the Term Loan Facility.

The indemnification, fee, expense, jurisdiction, governing law, venue, waiver of jury trial, syndication and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letters shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether any definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility shall be executed and delivered, and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or any commitment or undertaking of any Commitment Party hereunder. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and each of the Commitment Parties.

This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that neither this Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letters nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed by you, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to you, the Target and your and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, members, partners, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, agents and advisors on a confidential and need-to-know basis (provided that any disclosure of the Fee Letters or their terms or substance to the Target, its subsidiaries or their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, members, partners, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, agents or advisors shall be redacted in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers), (b) in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law or regulation or as requested by a governmental authority (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable regulatory authorities and stock exchanges; provided that the terms and contents of any of the Fee Letters shall not be included in any such disclosure, but to the extent required by applicable law, you may disclose the aggregate fee amounts in the Fee Letters as part of a generic disclosure of total fees and expenses in connection with the aggregate sources related to the Transactions) (in which case you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to inform us promptly in advance thereof) and (c) the Summary of Terms may be disclosed to potential Lenders and to any rating agency in connection with the Term Loan Facility.

Each Commitment Party agrees that it will maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information (as defined below) may be disclosed (a) to its respective affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,

advisors, legal counsel, independent auditors and professionals and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) (it being understood that (i) Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential and (ii) a party making such information available to its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors and employees agrees to be responsible for any breach of this paragraph that results from the actions or omissions of such affiliates, officers, directors and employees), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any legal process, subpoena, judicial or administrative proceeding or similar compulsory process, provided such Commitment Party agrees that it will notify you as soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure (other than at the request of a regulatory authority), unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, or under any documentation evidencing or relating to the Term Loan Facility or any action or proceeding relating to this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, or any documentation evidencing or relating to the Term Loan Facility or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to potential or prospective Lenders, participants or assignees; provided that the disclosure of any such information to any Lenders or prospective Lenders or participants or prospective participants or assignees or prospective assignees referred to above shall be made subject to the acknowledgment and acceptance by such Lender or prospective Lender or participant or prospective participant or assignee or prospective assignee that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Bookrunner, including, without limitation, as agreed in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials or in connection with the distribution of information through Intralinks) in accordance with the standard syndication processes of the Bookrunner or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information, (g) with your consent, (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of disclosure by such Commitment Party, its affiliates or Representatives or (y) becomes available to such Commitment Party or any of its respective affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, its affiliates or Representatives or any person that the Commitment Party or its Representatives know is breaching a confidentiality obligation to the Borrower or its subsidiaries by making such Confidential Information available without the consent or authorization of the Borrower, or (i) in the case of the information set forth on Exhibit A, to S&P and Moody’s on a confidential basis. For purposes of this paragraph, “Confidential Information” means all information received from you, the Target or your or their subsidiaries relating to you, the Target or any of your or their subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to such Commitment Party or its affiliates on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by you or any of your subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this paragraph shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such person would accord to its own confidential information. The obligations of each of the Commitment Parties under this paragraph shall automatically terminate and be superseded by the confidentiality provisions in the definitive documentation for the Term Loan Facility, and in any case, on the date that is one year from the date hereof.

This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters may be executed in counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute an original.

Material Adverse Effect and the determination of whether there shall have occurred a Target Material Adverse Effect, (b) the determination of whether the Acquisition has been consummated as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (c) the determination of whether the representations and warranties made by the Target in the Merger Agreement are accurate, and whether any inaccuracy thereof entitles the Borrower to terminate its obligations under the Merger Agreement or not to consummate the Acquisition, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each Commitment Party and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transactions or the other transactions contemplated hereby, this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters or the performance of services hereunder or thereunder. Each Commitment Party and you agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to you or us shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each Commitment Party and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each Commitment Party and you hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to the Acquisition, this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Term Loan Facility or the actions of the Commitment Parties in the negotiation, performance or enforcement hereof.

This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Commitment Parties and you with respect to the Term Loan Facility and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the specific matters hereof. No party has been authorized by any of the Commitment Parties to make any oral or written statements that are inconsistent with this Commitment Letter. This Commitment Letter is not assignable by the Borrower without our prior written consent and is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and the Indemnified Parties.

This Commitment Letter and all commitments and undertakings of the Commitment Parties hereunder will expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on February 20, 2013 unless you execute this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters and return them to us prior to that time (which may be by facsimile or electronic transmission), whereupon this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters (each of which may be signed in one or more counterparts) shall become binding agreements. In the event that the initial borrowing under the Term Loan Facility does not occur on or before the Expiration Date, then this Commitment Letter and the commitments hereunder shall automatically terminate unless we shall, in our discretion, agree to an extension. “Expiration Date” means the earliest of (i) October 31, 2013, (ii) the closing of the Acquisition without the use of the Term Loan Facility and (iii) the termination or public abandonment of the Merger Agreement prior to closing of the Acquisition.

THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT (WHICH INCLUDES THE SUMMARY OF TERMS) AND THE FEE LETTERS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

The Borrower may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR loans or, upon consent of all of the affected Lenders, such other period that is twelve months or less, subject to availability. Interest shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

PERFORMANCE PRICING:   

The Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans shall be, at any time, the rate per annum set forth in the table below opposite the corporate credit rating of the Borrower by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc; provided that such amount shall increase by an additional 25 basis points at the end of each successive three month period after the Closing Date. In the case of a split rating, the higher rating will apply; if there is only one rating, such rating will apply; and if there is no rating, the lowest rating set forth below will apply; provided that if there is no rating as a result of both Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or their successors) ceasing to issue ratings generally, the rating in effect immediately prior to the Borrower no longer having a rating shall apply until the parties can agree on an alternative method of determining the Applicable Margin for LIBOR and Base Rate Loans (such ratings principles, the “Ratings Principles”). The Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans shall be 1.00% per annum less than the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans in each category (but not less than zero).
