copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Amendment; (b) agrees that it will, independently

contain material non-public information about Borrower and the Loan Parties or
their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such
information in accordance with such New Lender’s compliance procedures and
applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

Existing Lender, making Revolver Commitments under the Credit Agreement

further action, to have purchased from Existing Lender), as necessary, such
portions of the Commitments and Advances as are necessary so that on the date
hereof, after giving effect to such purchases and sales, and after the
consummation of the Fusepoint Purchase Acquisition, each Lender has the
Commitments and the outstanding Advances set forth on the Schedule C-1 (as
amended by this Amendment).

5. Notice of Name Change. Pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Credit Agreement,
Borrower hereby provides notice to Agent and each Lender that promptly after the
consummation of the Fusepoint Purchase Acquisition, Holdings and Borrower shall
cause the name of Fusepoint Inc. to be changed to SAVVIS Canada, Inc. and

the internal laws of the State of New York.

or other electronic transmission shall also deliver an original executed
counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity,

(a) In consideration of the agreements of Agent and Lenders contained herein and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its successors,
assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges Agent and Lenders, and
their successors and assigns, and their present and former shareholders,
affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers,
attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives (Agent, each Lender and
all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the
“Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions,
causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements,
promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all
other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and
liabilities whatsoever (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) of
every name and nature, either known or suspected, both at law and in equity,
which any Loan Party or any of their successors, assigns, or other legal
representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against

day and date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, for or on account
of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with any of the Credit
Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder or
