     Agreement means this Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit
Facility Agreement (as the same may hereafter be amended, modified,
supplemented, or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms
hereof).

     Applicable Margin means, from time to time, the following percentages per
annum, based upon the Debt Rating as set forth below:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Applicable Margin

	Pricing Level	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	Eurocurrency	 	 
	from highest	 	Debt Ratings	 	 	 	 	 	Rate+/Letter of	 	 
	to lowest
	 	S&P/Moody’s
	 	Facility Fee
	 	Credit
	 	Base Rate+

	 	1	 	 	A/A2 or better
	 	 	0.080	%	 	 	0.220	%	 	 	0.000	%
	 	2	 	 	A-/A3
	 	 	0.090	%	 	 	0.285	%	 	 	0.000	%
	 	3	 	 	BBB+/Baa1
	 	 	0.110	%	 	 	0.390	%	 	 	0.000	%
	 	4	 	 	BBB/Baa2

	 	5	 	 	BBB-/Baa3
	 	 	0.175	%	 	 	0.575	%	 	 	0.000	%
	 	6	 	 	Worse than BBB-/Baa3
or Not Rated
	 	 	0.225	%	 	 	0.775	%	 	 	0.000	%

     For purposes of the foregoing: (a) if the Debt Rating issued by Moody’s
and the Debt Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels
(but not more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Applicable Margin
shall be determined by reference to the higher Pricing Level (e.g., if the Debt
Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Level 1 and the Debt Rating issued by
Moody’s is in Pricing Level 2, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined
by reference to Pricing Level 1); (b) if the Debt Rating issued by Moody’s and
the Debt Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (and
by more than one (1) Pricing Level), then the Applicable Margin shall be
determined by reference to the Pricing Level that is one (1) Pricing Level
higher than the lower Pricing Level (e.g., if the Debt Rating issued by S&P is
in Pricing Level 1 and the Debt Rating issued by Moody’s is in Pricing Level 4,
then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level
3); (c) if either Moody’ or S&P shall not have in effect a Debt Rating for the
Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last
sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have
established a rating in Pricing Level 6; (d) if either Moody’s or S&P no longer
publishes ratings and Borrowers and the Administrative Agent cannot agree on
another ratings agency to replace Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, then the
Debt Rating issued by Moody’s or the Debt Rating issued by S&P which is still
being published, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the Debt Rating. If
the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating
agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations,
Borrowers and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this
definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of
ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such
amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the rating
most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     Initially, the Applicable Margin shall be determined based upon the Debt
Rating specified in the certificate delivered pursuant to Schedule 4.1, item
15. Thereafter, each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a publicly
announced change in the Debt Rating shall be effective, in the case of an
upgrade, commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof so long as
the Borrowers have delivered to the Administrative Agent notice thereof
pursuant to Section 6.3(c)(vi) and ending on the date immediately preceding the
effective date of the next such change and, in the case of a downgrade,
commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the
date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.

     Applicable Percentage means with respect to any Lender at any time, (i)
for the Primary Currency Facility, the percentage (carried out to the ninth
decimal place) of the aggregate amount of the Primary Currency Commitments
represented by such Primary Currency Lender’s Primary Currency Commitment at
such time, (ii) for the Multi-Currency Facility, the percentage (carried out to
the ninth decimal place) of the aggregate amount of the Multi-Currency
Commitments represented by such Multi-Currency Lender’s Multi-Currency
Commitment at such time, and (iii) for the Facilities as a whole, the
percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Aggregate
Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment at such time. If the
commitment of each Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the
case may be, to make Loans and the obligation of the L/C Issuers to make L/C
Credit Extensions have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.11 or if the
Aggregate Commitments have expired, then the Applicable Percentage of each
Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may be, shall be
determined based on the Applicable Percentage of such Primary Currency Lender
or Multi-Currency Lender most recently in effect, giving effect to any
subsequent assignments. The initial Applicable Percentage of each Primary
Currency Lender and Multi-Currency Lender for each of the Primary Currency
Facility and the Multi-Currency Facility, as the case may be, is set forth
opposite the name of such Lender for the relevant Facility on Schedule 2.1 or
in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Primary Currency Lender
or Multi-Currency Lender becomes a party hereto, as applicable.

     Applicable Time means, with respect to any borrowings and payments in any
Available Foreign Currency, the local time in the place of settlement for such
Available Foreign Currency as may be determined by the Administrative Agent or

the place of payment.

1.4 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents.

     (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rates to
be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions
and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies. Such Exchange
Rates shall become effective as of the applicable Exchange Determination
Date. Except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any
currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be
such Dollar Equivalent amount.

     (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Committed
Borrowing, Competitive Loan, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a
Letter of Credit or a Competitive Letter of Credit, an amount (such as a
required minimum or multiple amount) is expressed in Dollars, but such
Committed Borrowing, Competitive Loan, Eurocurrency Rate Loan, Letter of

of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Foreign
Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the
Administrative Agent on the applicable Exchange Determination Date under
and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

1.5 Additional Available Foreign Currencies.

     (a) ACS or any other Borrower (with the consent of ACS) may from
time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans under the
Multi-Currency Facility be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a
currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of
“Available Foreign Currency;” provided that (i) quotes for loans in such
currency are available in the London interbank deposit market; (ii) such
currency is freely transferable and convertible into Dollars in the
London foreign exchange market, (iii) no Governmental Authority in the
country of issue of such currency is required to permit use of such
currency by any applicable Multi-Currency Lender or L/C Issuer for making
loans or issuing letters of credit, or honoring drafts presented under
letters of credit in such currency, and (iv) there is no restriction or
prohibition under any applicable Law against the use of such currency for
such purposes. In the case of any such request with respect to the
making of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, such request shall be
subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the
Multi-Currency Lenders, and, in the case of any such request with respect
to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to
the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Lenders, and
the applicable L/C Issuer.

     (b) Any such request in respect of a Foreign Currency other than an
Available Foreign Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m., 10 Business Days prior to the date of the desired
Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to
Letters of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer, in its or their sole
discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Multi-Currency Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request
pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the L/C Issuers thereof. Each Multi-Currency Lender (in the case
of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans) or
the L/C Issuers (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of
Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
five Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in
its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (c) Any failure by a Multi-Currency Lender or an L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified
in the preceding clause (b) shall be deemed to be a refusal by such
Multi-Currency Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
to permit Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans to be made or Letters of
Credit to be issued in such requested Foreign Currency (other than an
Available Foreign Currency). If the Administrative Agent and all the
Multi-Currency Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Committed
Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so
notify Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all
purposes to be an Available Foreign Currency hereunder for purposes of
any Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans and for purposes of issuing Letters
of Credit up to the amount of the Multi-Currency Commitment; and if the
Administrative Agent and an L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters
of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so
notify Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed to be an
Available Foreign Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit
issuances by such L/C Issuer. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to
obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this
Section 1.5, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify Borrowers.

1.6 Change of Currency.

     (a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated
in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union
that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall
be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance
with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such
member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this
Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any
convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of
accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be
replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on
which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided
that if any Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member state is
outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take
effect, with respect to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then
current Interest Period.

     (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from
time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the
Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market
conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

     (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such
reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from
time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of
any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the change in currency.

times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as
applicable).

1.8 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the
amount of a Letter of Credit or Competitive Letter of Credit at any time shall
be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of
Credit or Competitive Letter of Credit, as the case may be, as determined in
accordance with Section 1.4.

fail to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a
Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested shall be made in
Dollars. If the applicable Borrower or Borrowers fail to specify the

then the Committed Loan so requested shall be made under the Primary
Currency Facility. If the applicable Borrower or Borrowers fail to

Borrowers request a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of,
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but
fail to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified
an Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted into
or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but

Agent. Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Primary Currency Lender or
Multi-Currency Lender, as applicable, of the amount (and currency) of its
Applicable Percentage under the relevant Facility of the applicable
Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation
is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base
Rate Loans or continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a currency
other than Dollars, in each case as described in this Section 2.3(f). In
the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Primary Currency Lender or
Multi-Currency Lender, as applicable, shall make the amount of its

of JPMorgan with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such
funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and
reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by ACS or the
applicable Borrowing Subsidiary (as the case may be); provided, however,
that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such
Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by ACS or any Borrowing
Subsidiary, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding under the applicable
Facility under which such Borrowing is being made and for which such
Borrower is liable, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be
applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second,
shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

     (h) Availability of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans after a
Default. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested
as, converted to, or continued as, Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans
(whether in Dollars or any Available Foreign Currency) without the
consent of the Required Lenders.

     (i) Rate/ Exchange Rate Notification. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify ACS, the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary, and the
Primary Currency Lenders or Multi-Currency Lenders, as applicable, of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate and of the
Exchange Rate, if any,
applicable to any Committed Borrowing or any continuation or
conversion thereof. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers and the

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Lenders of any
change in JPMorgan’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change.

     (j) Number of Interest Periods. After giving effect to all
Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to
the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type,

     (v) Existing Letters of Credit. All Existing Letters of

submit a letter of credit application on the applicable L/C
Issuer’s standard form in connection with any Letter of
Credit Request. If the Requesting Borrower fails to specify
the Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be
issued, the Letter of Credit shall be issued under the
Primary Currency Facility.

     (B) Letter of Credit Amendments. In the case of a
request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit,
such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer

representation by such Requesting Borrower that the L/C Credit
Extension so requested complies with the applicable conditions set
forth in Section 2.4(a)(iii).

     (iii) Issuance of Letters of Credit or Amendments. Promptly
after receipt of the Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C
Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or

such Letter of Credit Request and, if not, such L/C Issuer will
provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the
applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender
under the applicable Facility, the Administrative Agent or any
Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one
or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4 shall not then
be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of
Credit for the account of the Requesting Borrower (or any
designated Subsidiary of the Requesting Borrower) or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in
accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices.

     (iv) Copies of Issued Letters of Credit. Promptly after its

beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to
the Requesting Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (v) Review of Issued Letters of Credit by Requesting Borrower.
The applicable Requesting Borrower shall promptly examine a copy
of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is
delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance
with such Requesting Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity,
such Requesting Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C
Issuer. ACS and the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the
applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is
given as aforesaid.

     (vi) Special Limitations to Issuance. No L/C Issuer shall be
under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin
or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of
Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such
L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such
L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such
L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C
Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in
good faith deems material to it;

     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate
one or more policies of such L/C Issuer;

     (C) such Letter of Credit is being requested under the
Primary Currency Facility and such Letter of Credit is to be
denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Euros, unless
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C
Issuer; or

     (D) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund under
Section 2.4(c) or (e) exists or any Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has
entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrowers
(including, without limitation, Cash Collateralizing such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit) or
such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect
to such Lender.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements.

     (i) Reimbursement for Drawings by Borrowers. Upon receipt
from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer
shall notify the Requesting Borrower and the Administrative
Agent thereof. The Requesting Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer (A) in Dollars for all drawings under Letters
of Credit denominated in Dollars, (B) in the Dollar

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Equivalent
amount for all drawings under Letters of Credit denominated in
Available Foreign Currency (other than Euros) issued under the
Primary Currency Facility, (C) in Euros for all drawings under
Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, and (D) in the applicable
Available Foreign Currency for all drawings under Letters of Credit
denominated in Available Foreign Currency issued under the
Multi-Currency Facility. In the case of a drawing under a Letter
of Credit issued under the Primary Currency Facility, denominated
in an Available Foreign Currency (other than Euros), the applicable
L/C Issuer shall notify the Requesting Borrower of the Dollar
Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the
determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of
any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit
to be reimbursed (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Requesting
Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer directly in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency
as set forth above.

     (ii) Automatic Borrowings to Fund Unreimbursed Amount. If ACS
or the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary fails to so reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer by such time, such L/C Issuer shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency
Lender, as the case may be, of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the case of Letters
of Credit denominated in Dollars, expressed in Euros, in the case
of Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, or expressed in the
Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of Letters of Credit
denominated in an Available Foreign Currency other than Letters of
Credit issued in an Available Foreign Currency under the
Multi-Currency Facility, in which case the amount of the drawing
shall be expressed in the applicable Foreign Currency) (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Requesting
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (A) for drawings under
Letters of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, a Base Rate
Committed Loan and (B) for drawings under Letters of Credit to be
reimbursed in an Available Foreign Currency, a Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loan under the applicable Facility to be disbursed on the
Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.3 for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loans, as the case may be, but subject to the amount of
the unutilized portion of the Primary Currency Commitments or
Multi-Currency Commitments, as the case may be, and the conditions
set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Committed
Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(c)(ii) may be
given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect
the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (iii) Funding of Automatic Borrowings by Lenders. Each
Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may
be, shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(ii) make funds
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable L/C Issuer, in the applicable currency, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency in an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Primary
Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may be, that
so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Base Rate Committed Loan or Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loan, as the case may be, to the applicable Requesting
Borrower in such amount. The Administrative

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in the applicable
currency.

     (d) Lender Participations.

     (i) Purchase of Participations by Lenders. Immediately upon
the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Primary Currency Lender
or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit issued under the applicable Facility in an amount equal to
the product of such Primary Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of the Primary Currency Facility or such Multi-Currency Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Multi-Currency Facility, as the case
may be, times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

     (ii) Benefits and Immunities of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer
shall act on behalf of the Lenders under the applicable Facility
with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it under such
Facility and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C
Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided
to the Administrative Agent in Section 8 with respect to any acts
taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuers in connection with
Letters of Credit issued by them or proposed to be issued by them
and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully
as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 8 included
the L/C Issuers with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

     (e) Funding of Participations by Lenders.

     (i) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully
refinanced pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii) by a Committed Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, as the
case may be, because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot
be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Requesting
Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C
Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount
that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest
at the Default Rate. In such event, each Primary Currency Lender’s
or Multi-Currency Lender’s, as the case may be, payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii) shall be deemed payment in respect
of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an
L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.4.

     (ii) Until each Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency
Lender, as the case may be, funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance
pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii) or 2.4(e)(i) to reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

     (iii) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C
Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under
Letters of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the L/C Issuers, Borrowers, any
Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

whatsoever; (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to
make Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(c)(iii) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than delivery by the
applicable Requesting Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No
such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of ACS and the applicable Requesting Borrower to
reimburse the L/C Issuers for the amount of any payment made by the
L/C Issuers under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as
provided herein.

     (iv) If any Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender,
as the case may be, fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of any L/C Issuer any amount required to be
paid by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.4(c) or
(e) by the time specified in Section 2.4(c)(iii), the applicable
L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of any
L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iv)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (f) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any L/C Issuer has made a payment under
any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender under the
applicable Facility such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such
payment in accordance with Section 2.4(e), if the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of an L/C Issuer any payment in
respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon
(whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative
Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage under the applicable Facility thereof
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance
was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those received
by the Administrative Agent.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.4(c) is required
to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section
9.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any L/C
Issuer in its discretion), each Lender under the applicable
Facility shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the applicable L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage under the
applicable Facility thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent,
plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the
payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

     (g) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Requesting
Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuers for each drawing under each Letter
of Credit issued for the account of such Requesting Borrower or its
Subsidiaries (and in the case of ACS, to reimburse the L/C Issuers for
drawings under all Letters of Credit issued for any Borrower or any
Subsidiary) and to repay each L/C Borrowing for Letters of Credit issued
for the account of such Requesting Borrower or its

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Subsidiaries shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances,
including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of
Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense
or other right that Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof may have at
any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter
of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting), any L/C Issuer or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

     (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document
presented under such 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; or any loss or
delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in
order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

     (iv) any payment by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any
payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any
Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including
any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law;

     (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in
the availability of the relevant Available Foreign Currency to
Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof or in the relevant currency
markets generally; or

     (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the
contrary, (i) ACS shall reimburse the L/C Issuers in an amount equal to
all of drawings under all Letters of Credit and the provisions of this
clause (g) shall apply to such reimbursement obligation and (ii) no
Borrowing Subsidiary shall be obligated to reimburse any L/C Issuer for
any drawings under any Letter of Credit issued at the request of ACS or
any other Borrowing Subsidiary.

     (h) Role of L/C Issuers; Exculpation Provisions. Each Lender and
each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,
no L/C Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other
than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or
accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or
delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer shall be liable
to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders
under the applicable Facility or the Required Lenders under the
applicable Facility, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

(iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. ACS (with
respect to all Letters of Credit) and each Borrowing Subsidiary (with
respect to all Letters of Credit issued at the request of such Borrowing
Subsidiary) hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as
it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any
of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuers shall be liable or responsible for any of the
matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.4(g);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and
an L/C Issuer may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary,
damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused
by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C
Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s)
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers
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 no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for
the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning
or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (i) Summary Reports from L/C Issuers. No less than once each month,
each L/C Issuer shall give a summary report of the issued and outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer under each Facility to the
Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
summary reports to the Lenders and ACS promptly upon receipt thereof.

     (j) Cash Collateral.

     (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if any
L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under
any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C
Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation
for any reason remains outstanding, ACS, and as applicable, each
Borrowing Subsidiary (but only to the extent of L/C Obligations
arising under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such
Borrowing Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries) shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Dollar Equivalent of the
Outstanding Amount of all such L/C Obligations.

     (ii) The Administrative Agent may, on each Revaluation Date
after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that
additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against
the results of exchange rate fluctuations.

     (iii) Sections 2.6 and 7.11(c) set forth certain additional
requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of
this Section 2.4 and Section 7.11(c) (with respect to L/C
Obligations), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with
or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
Issuers and the Lenders,
as collateral for the L/C Obligations of ACS and each
Borrowing Subsidiary (but only to the extent of L/C Obligations
under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Borrowing
Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries), cash or deposit account balances
pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers (which documents are
hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have
corresponding meanings. ACS and each Borrowing Subsidiary (by
executing an Additional Borrower Notice and Assumption) hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash,
deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the
foregoing but, in the case of Borrowing Subsidiaries, only to the
extent of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such
Borrowing Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries. Cash Collateral shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at
JPMorgan and all such accounts shall be in the exclusive dominion
and control of the Administrative Agent.

     (iv) If as of any Revaluation Date, the amount held as Cash
Collateral hereunder exceeds the then Dollar Equivalent of the
Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, ACS may request that the
Administrative Agent release such excess Cash Collateral, and, if
upon such request no Default then exists, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly release (and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to
so release) such excess Cash Collateral to ACS.

     (k) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed
by any L/C Issuer and the applicable Requesting Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing
Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby
Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice
for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International
Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each
commercial Letter of Credit.

     (l) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers (subject to the proviso set
forth below) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may
be, in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, or, with
respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Primary Currency Facility
in Euros, in Euros, or, with respect to Letters of Credit issued under
the Multi-Currency Facility in a Foreign Currency, in such Foreign
Currency, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each
Letter of Credit issued under the applicable Facility equal to the
Applicable Margin times the daily amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit; provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing
Subsidiary shall be limited solely to the Letter of Credit Fees related
to Letters of Credit issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such
Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be for the Letter of
Credit Fees related to all Letters of Credit issued under the Agreement.
Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in
arrears and (ii) due and payable on the fifth Business Day after ACS
receives a written invoice therefor from the Administrative Agent after
the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on
the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in
the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily amount available to
be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by
the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that
such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders,
while any Event of Default exists under Section 7.1, all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (m) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to
L/C Issuer. Borrowers (subject to the proviso set forth below) shall pay
directly to the L/C Issuers for their own account, in Dollars, or, with
respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Primary Currency Facility
in Euros, in Euros, or, with respect to Letters of Credit issued under
the Multi-Currency Facility in a Foreign Currency, in such Foreign
Currency, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by
such L/C Issuer, at the rate per annum equal to (i) 0.100% per annum
times of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit or (ii) such other amount or rate that Borrowers and such L/C
Issuer shall agree on a quarterly basis in arrears, and due and payable
on the fifth Business Day after ACS receives a written invoice therefor
from the applicable L/C Issuer after the end of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur
after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and
thereafter on demand; provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing
Subsidiary shall be limited solely to the fronting fees related to
Letters of Credit issued at the request of such Borrowing Subsidiary and
(ii) ACS shall be for the fronting fees related to all Letters of Credit
issued under the Agreement. In addition, each Borrower (subject to the
proviso set forth below) shall pay directly to the L/C Issuers for their
own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment
and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the
L/C Issuers relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect;
provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing Subsidiary shall be
limited solely to the fronting fees related to Letters of Credit issued
at the request of such Borrowing Subsidiary and (ii) ACS shall be for the
fronting fees related to all Letters of Credit issued under the
Agreement. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (n) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict
between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms
hereof shall control.

     (o) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that
a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any
obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of a Requesting
Borrower, ACS and each applicable Borrowing Subsidiary shall be obligated
to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under
such Letter of Credit as if such Letter of Credit were issued directly
for the account of such Requesting Borrower. Each Requesting Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the
account of their respective Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such
Requesting Borrower, and that such Requesting Borrower’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries; provided
that each Borrowing Subsidiary shall only be liable for Letters of Credit
requested by it for itself or its Subsidiaries.

2.5 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, (i) each Swing Line Lender severally agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Primary Currency Lenders set forth in this
Section 2.5 to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Dollar Swing
Line Loan”) and (ii) JPMorgan, it its capacity as a Swing Line Lender,
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Primary Currency
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.5 to make loans in Euros (together
with the Dollar Swing Line Loans, the “Swing Line Loans”), in each case
to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the
Availability Period in an aggregate amount for all Borrowers not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with
the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Primary Currency
Committed Loans and Primary Currency L/C Obligations of the applicable
Primary Currency Lender acting as a

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Primary Currency
Lender’s Primary Currency Commitment; provided, however, that after
giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Total Outstandings shall
not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (B) the Primary Currency Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Primary Currency Commitments, and (C)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Primary Currency Committed Loans
of any Primary Currency Lender (other than the applicable Swing Line
Lender), plus such Primary Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of all Primary Currency L/C Obligations, plus such
Primary Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Primary Currency Lender’s
Primary Currency Commitment, and provided, further, that no Borrower
shall use any proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any
outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to
the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under
this Section 2.5, prepay under Section 2.7, and reborrow under this
Section 2.5. Each Swing Line Loan denominated in Dollars shall bear
interest as set forth in Section 2.10. Immediately upon the making of a
Swing Line Loan, each Primary Currency Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan
in an amount equal to the product of such Primary Currency Lender’s
Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made
upon a Borrower’s irrevocable notice to a Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice
must be received by the applicable Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than (i) for Swing Line Loans denominated
in Dollars, 3:00 p.m. and (ii) for Swing Line Loans denominated in Euros,
12:00 p.m., London, England time, in each case, on the requested
borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which
shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether such Swing Line Loan is to be
denominated in Dollars or Euros, and (iv) the Borrower requesting such
Swing Line Loan. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly
by delivery to the applicable Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the requesting Borrower. Promptly
after receipt by the applicable Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing
Line Loan Notice, such Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, such
Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or
in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the applicable Swing Line
Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to
3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing
such Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of
the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section
2.5(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, such Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:30 p.m.
on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the
amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Administrative Agent, and
the Administrative Agent will make the amount so received available to
the requesting Borrower by not later than 4:00 p.m. on such date
received.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

     (i) Each Swing Line Lender with Swing Line Loans outstanding
at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on
behalf of the applicable Borrowers (each of which hereby
irrevocably authorizes each Swing Line Lender to so request on its
behalf), that each Primary Currency Lender make (A) for Swing Line
Loans denominated in Dollars, a Base Rate Committed Loan and (B)
for Swing Line Loans denominated in Euros, a Eurocurrency Rate
Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Primary Currency Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the amount of the applicable Type of Swing
Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing
(which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.3, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, as the case may be, but subject
to the unutilized portion of the Primary Currency Commitments and
the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. The applicable Swing Line
Lender shall furnish ACS and all other Borrowers of Swing Line
Loans with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each
Primary Currency Lender shall make an amount equal to its
Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed
Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds
for the account of the applicable Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day
specified in such Committed Loan Notice (which shall be at least
one Business Day after delivery thereof for Base Rate Committed
Loans and at least three Business Days after delivery thereof for
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans), whereupon, subject to Section
2.5(c)(ii), each Primary Currency Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan
or Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, as the case may be, to the
requesting Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the applicable Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be
refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section
2.5(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Committed Loans or
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, as the case may be, submitted by
the applicable Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be
deemed to be a request by such Swing Line Lender that each of the
Primary Currency Lenders fund its risk participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan and each Primary Currency Lender’s payment
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line
Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Primary Currency Lender fails to make available
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swing
Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.5(c)(i), such Swing Line Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such Primary Currency Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to such Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A
certificate of the applicable Swing Line Lender submitted to any
Primary Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent)

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

     (iv) Each Primary Currency Lender’s obligation to make
Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in
Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Primary Currency Lender may have against any
Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Primary Currency
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.5(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section
4.2. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or
otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line
Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any Primary Currency Lender has
purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if
the applicable Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, such Swing Line Lender will distribute to
such Primary Currency Lender its Applicable Percentage of such
payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
to reflect the period of time during which such Primary Currency
Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those
received by such Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the applicable Swing Line
Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan
is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of
the circumstances described in Section 9.5 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by such Swing Line Lender in its
discretion), each Primary Currency Lender shall pay to such Swing
Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent
will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Swing Line
Lender. The obligations of the Primary Currency Lenders under this
clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lenders. Each Swing Line
Lender shall be responsible for invoicing ACS and the applicable Borrower
for interest on the Swing Line Loans made by such Swing Line Lender.
Until each Primary Currency Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, as the case may be, or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.5 to refinance such Primary
Currency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest
in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account
of the applicable Swing Line Lender.

for the account of ACS, any other Borrower, or their Subsidiaries;

Outstandings exceeding the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Primary
Currency Total Outstandings exceeding the Primary Currency Commitments,
and (iii) the Multi-Currency Total Outstandings exceeding the
Multi-Currency Commitments.

     (b) Requesting Competitive Bids. To request Competitive Bids, the
requesting Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative
Agent a duly completed Competitive Bid Request in the form of Exhibit C-1
hereto, to be received by the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of a
Competitive Loan to be denominated in Dollars and any Competitive Letter

are to be disbursed;

     (ix) the Facility under which the Competitive Loan or
Competitive Letter of Credit is to be deemed as usage for purposes
of the availability under such Facility; and

     (x) the applicable Borrower.

If no election as to the currency of a Competitive Loan or Competitive
Letter of Credit is specified in any Competitive Bid Request, then the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Competitive Loan
or Competitive Letter of Credit, as applicable, in Dollars. If the
requesting Borrower fails to indicate the Facility as set forth in clause
(ix) above, the Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit, as
applicable, shall be deemed usage under the Primary Currency Facility
unless fully borrowed, in which case usage shall be allocable to the
Multi-Currency Facility. Promptly following receipt of a Competitive Bid
Request in accordance with this Section 2.6(b), the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders of the details thereof by telecopy, inviting the
Lenders to submit Competitive Bids.

     (c) Submitting Competitive Bids. Each Lender may (but shall not
have any obligation to) make one or more Competitive Bids to such
Borrower in response to a Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid
by a Lender must be received by the Administrative Agent by telecopy, in
the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto, in the case of a Competitive Loan to be
denominated in Dollars and any Competitive Letter of Credit to be
denominated in Dollars, not later than 9:30 a.m., and in the case of a
Competitive Loan to be denominated in Foreign Currency and any
Competitive Letter of Credit to be denominated in Foreign Currency, not
later than 9:30 a.m. London, England time, three Business Days before the
proposed date of such Competitive Loan or the issuance of such
Competitive Letter of Credit. Competitive Bids that do not conform
substantially to the format of Exhibit C-2 may be rejected by the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the
applicable Lender as promptly as practicable. Each Competitive Bid shall
specify (i) if applicable, the principal amount or portion thereof of the
Competitive Loan or Loans that the Lender is willing to make (which, in
the case of a Competitive Borrowing denominated in Dollars, shall be a
minimum of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and, in the
case of a Competitive Borrowing denominated in an Foreign Currency, shall
be a minimum principal amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is equal to
$5,000,000, and which may equal the entire principal amount of the
Competitive Loan request by such Borrower), (ii) for Competitive Loans or
any relevant portion thereof, (x) the Competitive Bid Rate or Rates at
which the Lender is prepared to make such Competitive Loan or Loans or
portion thereof (expressed as a percentage rate per annum in the form of
a decimal to no more than four decimal places), (y) for Eurocurrency Rate
Competitive Loans or any relevant portion thereof, the Interest Period
applicable to each such Eurocurrency Rate Competitive Loan or portion
thereof and the last day thereof, and (z) the maturity date and repayment

for Competitive Letters of Credit, (y) the fronting fees or other fees
which the Lender is prepared to charge for issuing such Competitive
Letter of Credit and (z) the applicable terms of such Competitive Letter
of Credit (including, without limitation, the expiry date thereof).

     (d) Notice to Borrower of Competitive Bids. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify such Borrower by telecopy of (i) for
Competitive Loans or portion thereof, the Competitive Bid Rate, the
principal amount specified in each Competitive Bid, the maturity date and

Five Year Competitive Advance and

fronting fees or other
fees specified in each Competitive Bid, the applicable terms of such
Competitive Letters of Credit, and the identity of the Lender that
shall have made such Competitive Bid.

     (e) Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Subject only to the provisions
of this clause (e), such Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive
Bid or any portion thereof. Such Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in the form of a
Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter, whether and to what extent it has
decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid or any portion thereof,
in the case of a Competitive Loan, and any Competitive Letter of Credit
denominated in Dollars, not later than 2:00 p.m., and in the case of a
Competitive Loan and any Competitive Letter of Credit denominated in
Foreign Currency, not later than 2:00 p.m. London, England time, three
Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Loan or the
issuance of such Competitive Letter of Credit; provided that (i) the
failure of such Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a
rejection of each Competitive Bid or any portion thereof, (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids or any portion thereof accepted
by such Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested
Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit, as applicable,
specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, and (iii) no
Competitive Bid or any portion thereof shall be accepted for a
Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit unless such Competitive
Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit, as applicable, is, in the case of a
Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars,
in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and, in the case of a Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter
of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, in a minimum principal
amount the Dollar Equivalent of which is $5,000,000. A notice given by
such Borrower pursuant to this clause (e) shall be irrevocable.

     (f) Notification of Bid Acceptance; Binding Effect. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by
telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if
so, the amount and, if applicable, Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and
each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan or issue a
Competitive Letter of Credit, as applicable, in respect of which its
Competitive Bid or portion thereof has been accepted.

     (g) Submission of Bid by Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its
capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid or any portion
thereof directly to ACS and the requesting Borrower at least one quarter
of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required
to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (c) of this Section 2.6.

     (h) Notice Procedures for Competitive Loans/Competitive Letters of
Credit. All notices required by this Section 2.6 shall be given in
accordance with Section 9.2.

     (i) Notice of Eurocurrency Rate. If any Competitive Loan is to
consist of Eurocurrency Rate Competitive Loans, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period,
and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that will be participating in such Competitive Loan of
such Eurocurrency Rate.

     (j) Funding of Competitive Loans/Issuance of Competitive Letters of
Credit. Each Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 2.6(f)
that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the
Borrower shall, as applicable (i) make the amount of its Bid Loan(s)
available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at
the Administrative

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Agent’s Office or (ii) subject to Section 2.6(k),
issue the Competitive Letter of Credit as directed
by the applicable Borrower, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of
the requested Competitive Loan Borrowing or Competitive Letter of Credit,
as applicable. Other than the specific terms of the Competitive Bid with
respect to the Competitive Bid Rate, the repayment terms, and the
maturity date, each Competitive Loan will be on the same terms and
conditions as all other Loans. With respect to Competitive Loans, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2
(except to the extent expressly waived by the applicable Lender), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer such other documents and information
pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance, including any
Competitive Issuer Documents, as such Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer
may reasonably request.

     (k) Competitive Letters of Credit.

     (i) Special Limitations on Issuance. Notwithstanding the
acceptance of such Lender’s Competitive Bid with respect to the
issuance of a Competitive Letter of Credit, no Lender shall be
under any obligation to issue any Competitive Letter of Credit if
any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such
Lender from issuing such Competitive Letter of Credit, or any Law
applicable to such Lender or any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over such Lender shall prohibit, or request that such
Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
such Competitive Letter of Credit in particular.

     (ii) Amendments. No Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer shall
be under any obligation to amend any Competitive Letter of Credit
if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the
proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

     (iii) Reimbursement for Drawings by Borrowers. Upon receipt
from the beneficiary of any Competitive Letter of Credit of any
notice of a drawing under such Competitive Letter of Credit, the
applicable Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the
applicable Requesting Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof. The applicable Requesting Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer in the currency in
which such Competitive Letter of Credit was issued. Not later than
11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer under a Competitive Letter of Credit to be
reimbursed (“Honor Date”), the Requesting Borrower shall reimburse
such Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer directly in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency.
If ACS or the applicable Requesting Borrower (if different from
ACS) fails to so reimburse the applicable Competitive Letter of
Credit Issuer by such time, such Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and
of the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Competitive LC
Unreimbursed Amount”). Any notice given by the applicable
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.6(k)(iii) may be given by telephone if
immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or
binding effect of such notice. Such Competitive LC Unreimbursed
Amount shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest)
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (iv) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Requesting
Borrowers to reimburse the applicable Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuers for each drawing under
each Competitive Letter of Credit issued for the account of
such Requesting Borrower or its Subsidiaries (and in the case of
ACS, to reimburse the Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers for
drawings under all Competitive Letters of Credit issued for any
Borrower or any Subsidiary) shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the
following: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of such
Competitive Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan
Document; (B) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff,
defense or other right that Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof may
have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Competitive Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuers or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by
such Competitive Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (C) any draft,
demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Competitive 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; or any loss or delay in
the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Competitive Letter of Credit; (D) any
payment by the applicable Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer under
such Competitive Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such
Competitive Letter of Credit; or any payment made by any
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer under such Competitive Letter
of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Competitive Letter of Credit,
including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any
Debtor Relief Law; (E) any adverse change in the relevant exchange
rates or in the availability of the relevant Foreign Currency to
Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof or in the relevant currency
markets generally; or (F) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing,
including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrowers or any
Subsidiary thereof; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary shall be
obligated to reimburse any Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer for
any drawings under any Competitive Letter of Credit issued at the
request of any other Borrowing Subsidiary.

     (v) Examination of Copies of Issued Competitive Letters of
Credit by Requesting Borrower. The applicable Requesting Borrower
shall promptly examine a copy of each Competitive Letter of Credit
and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the
event of any claim of noncompliance with such Requesting Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, such Requesting Borrower will
immediately notify the applicable Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer. ACS and the applicable Requesting Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the
applicable Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

     (vi) Role of Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers; Exculpation
Provisions. Each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under
a Competitive Letter of Credit, no Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer shall have any responsibility to obtain any

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

document (other
than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required
by the Competitive Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as
to the validity or accuracy
of any such document or the authority of the Person executing
or delivering any such document. ACS (with respect to all
Competitive Letters of Credit) and each Borrowing Subsidiary
(solely with respect to all Competitive Letters of Credit issued at
the request of such Borrowing Subsidiary) hereby assumes all risks
of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with
respect to its use of any Competitive Letter of Credit; provided,
however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may
have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers,
the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties
nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuers shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in clauses (A) through (E) of Section
2.6(k)(iv); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the
contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against a
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer, and a Competitive Letter of
Credit Issuer may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only
to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower
proves were caused by such Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Competitive Letter
of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Competitive
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of
a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of a Competitive Letter of Credit. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Competitive Letter of
Credit Issuers 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 no
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning
or purporting to transfer or assign a Competitive Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole
or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason.

     (vii) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent, if, as of the Maturity Date, any Competitive Letter of
Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, ACS, and, as
applicable, each Borrowing Subsidiary (but only to the extent of
Competitive Letters of Credit issued for the account of such
Borrowing Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries) shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then dollar Equivalent of the
Outstanding Amount of all such Competitive Letter of Credit
Obligations. For purposes of this Section 2.6(k) and Section
7.11(c) (with respect to Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations),
“Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Competitive Letter
of Credit Issuers, as collateral for the Competitive Letter of
Credit Obligations of ACS and each Borrowing Subsidiary (but only
to the extent of Competitive Letters of Credit issued for the
account of such Borrowing Subsidiary or its Subsidiaries), cash or
deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers (which documents are hereby
consented to by the Lenders). ACS and each other Borrower (by
executing an Additional Borrower Notice and Assumption) hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers, a security interest in all
such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all
proceeds of the foregoing, (but in the case of Borrowing
Subsidiaries, only to the extent of Competitive Letters of Credit
issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary or its
Subsidiaries). Cash Collateral

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at JPMorgan and all such accounts shall be in the
exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. If as
of any Revaluation Date, the amount held as Cash Collateral under
this Section 2.6(k)(vii) exceeds the then Dollar Equivalent of the
Outstanding Amount of all Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations,
ACS may request that the Administrative Agent release such excess
Cash Collateral, and, if upon such request no Default then exists,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly release (and is hereby
authorized by the Competitive Lenders to so release) such excess
Cash Collateral to ACS.

     (viii) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise
expressly agreed by any Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer and the
applicable Requesting Borrower when a Competitive Letter of Credit
is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer Letter of Credit, and (ii) the
rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits,
as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce
at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer Letter of Credit.

     (ix) Fees for Competitive Letters of Credit. Each Borrower
(subject to the proviso set forth below) shall pay directly to the
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers for their own account, in
Dollars or such other currency agreed to by such Competitive Letter
of Credit Issuer, a fronting fee with respect to each Competitive
Letter of Credit issued by such Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer, at the amount or rate per annum that such Borrower and such
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer shall agree, and payable on
such dates and on such terms as such Borrower and such Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that the liability of (i) each
Borrowing Subsidiary shall be limited solely to the fees related to
Competitive Letters of Credit issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary
(or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be
for the fees related to all Competitive Letters of Credit issued
under the Agreement. In addition, each Borrower shall pay directly
to the Competitive Letter of Credit Issuers with respect to any
Competitive Letter of Credit issued for the account of such
Borrower for their own account, in Dollars or such other currency
agreed to by such Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer, the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing
fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuers relating to letters of credit as from time
to time in effect provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing
Subsidiary shall be limited solely to the fees related to
Competitive Letters of Credit issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary
(or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be
for the fees related to all Competitive Letters of Credit issued
under the Agreement. Such customary fees and standard costs and
charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (x) Competitive Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding that a Competitive Letter of Credit issued or
outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is
for the account of, a Subsidiary of a Requesting Borrower, ACS and
the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary shall be obligated to reimburse
the applicable Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer for any and all
drawings under such Competitive Letter of Credit. Each Requesting
Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Competitive
Letters of Credit for the account of their respective Subsidiaries
inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s
business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

contained in this clause (x) each Borrowing Subsidiary shall
only be liable for Competitive Letters of Credit requested by it
for itself or its Subsidiaries.

     (xi) Conflict with Competitive Issuer Documents. In the event
of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any
Competitive Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

     (l) Auction Fee. Each Competitive Bid Request submitted by any
Borrower to the Administrative Agent shall be accompanied by an auction
fee (payable solely to the Administrative Agent for its own account) in
an amount equal to $3,000 for each Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter
of Credit requested in such Competitive Bid Request.

2.7 Prepayments.

     (a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from such Borrower to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided
that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 12:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of
prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Dollars,
(B) four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency
Rate Committed Loans denominated in Available Foreign Currencies, and (C)
on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; and (ii) any
prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the Dollar Equivalent
thereof, if applicable. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date and
amount of such prepayment; (ii) the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be
prepaid; (iii) the Facility being prepaid; (iv) the Borrower or Borrowers
to which such prepayment applies; and, (v) if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are
to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If any notice fails to indicate the Borrower or Borrowers to
which such prepayment applies, such prepayment will be applied to the
obligations of ACS. If such notice is given, the applicable Borrower
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan shall be accompanied by
all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5. Each such prepayment shall be
applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders under the applicable
Facility in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages for
such Facility.

     (b) Except as otherwise agreed by the applicable Borrower and
applicable Competitive Lender, no Competitive Loan may be prepaid without
the prior consent of the Competitive Lender making such Competitive Loan.

     (c) Borrowers may, upon notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to
time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without
premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
such Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00
p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be
in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the
applicable Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.

     (d) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent
of the Total Outstandings as of the last Business Day of each calendar
quarter and shall provide ACS with written notice of such calculation.
If such calculation reflects that, as of the most recent Revaluation
Date, (i) the Total Outstandings at such time exceed an amount equal to
105% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; (ii) the Primary
Currency Total Outstandings (together with all Competitive Loans and
Competitive Letters of Credit attributable to such Facility) at such time
exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Primary Currency Commitments then
in effect; or (iii) the Multi-Currency Total Outstandings (together with
all Competitive Loans and Competitive Letters of Credit attributable to
such Facility) at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the
Multi-Currency Commitments then in effect (in each case, the “Excess”),
then, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall prepay Loans such that after giving effect to such Loan
prepayments no Excess exists under the Facilities or under either the
Multi-Currency Facility or the Primary Currency Facility; provided that,
if, on such payment date, after making any prepayments required, an
Excess still exists under the Facilities or any Facility (as the case may
be), or if no Loans are outstanding under the Facilities or any Facility
(as the case may be), then Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, Cash Collateral in Dollars in an
amount at least equal to 105% of such Excess under the applicable
Facility or Facilities, which Cash Collateral shall be allocated to
secure Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued for the
account ACS, unless other Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of
Credit are designated by Borrowers by written notice to the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from
time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request
that additional Cash Collateral be provided by the Borrowers in order to
protect against the results of further exchange rate fluctuations;
provided, however, that no Borrowing Subsidiary shall be required to
provide Cash Collateral in respect of any Letter of Credit issued for the
benefit of any other Borrowing Subsidiary. If, as of any Revaluation
Date, the value of the Cash Collateral exceeds the amount of the Excess,
ACS may request that the Administrative Agent release the amount of Cash
Collateral which exceeds such Excess, and, if upon such request no
Default then exists, the Administrative Agent shall promptly release (and
is hereby authorized by the Lenders to so release) such Cash Collateral
to ACS.

2.8 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Borrowers may, upon notice
to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time
to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any
such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00
p.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and shall
indicate the Facility being terminated or reduced (and if no such Facility is
indicated, such termination or reduction shall be deemed to apply to the
Primary Currency Facility until terminated in full), (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent
prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate
Commitments, (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate
Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
excess, and (v) any such notice delivered by a Borrower other than ACS shall be
with the consent of ACS. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Primary Currency Lenders or Multi-Currency Lenders, as the case may be, of any
such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Primary Currency
Commitment or Multi-Currency Commitment, as applicable, of each Primary
Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may be, according to its
Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any
termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of
such termination.

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

2.9 Repayment of Loans.

     (a) Each Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date
the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to such Borrower
outstanding on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACS shall be
liable for the entire Obligations and shall repay the Obligations on the
Maturity Date and, with respect to Committed Loans made to a Borrower
(other than ACS), the liability of ACS and such Borrower shall be joint
and several. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or in any other Loan Document, no Borrowing Subsidiary shall be liable
for the payment or performance of the Obligations of any other Borrower.

     (b) The applicable Borrower shall repay to the applicable
Competitive Lender each Competitive Loan on the date or dates set forth
in the applicable Competitive Bids.

     (c) The applicable Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the
earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is
made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.10 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each
Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin; (iii) each Eurocurrency Rate Competitive Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period
plus (or minus) the Competitive Loan Margin, (iv) each Fixed Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at the
Fixed Rate, (v) each Swing Line Loan denominated in Dollars shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate minus 0.500%,
and (vi) each Swing Line Loan denominated in Euros shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the applicable Swing
Line Lender’s cost of funds, as determined by such Swing Line Lender in
good faith, (B) the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and
(C) 1.50%.

     (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when
due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

     (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable
by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of
the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at
a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any
Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the
principal amount of all outstanding

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

     (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable
upon demand.

     (b) Interest on each Committed Loan shall be due and payable in
arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such
other times as may be specified herein. Interest on each Competitive
Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each date set forth in the
respective Competitive Bid. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable
in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before
and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.11 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in clauses (l) and (m)
of Section 2.4:

     (a) Facility Fee. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage, a facility fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Margin
times the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Commitments (or, if the
Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the Outstanding Amount of all
Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations), regardless of
usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all times during the
Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans, Swing
Line Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4 is not met, and
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the fifth Business Day
after ACS receives a written notice therefor from the Administrative
Agent in each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date
(and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The facility fee shall be
calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

     (b) Utilization Fee. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage, a utilization fee in Dollars of 0.125% per annum times the
Total Outstandings on each day that the Total Outstandings exceed 50% of
the actual daily amount of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect (or,
if terminated, in effect immediately prior to such termination). The
utilization fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on fifth
Business Day after ACS receives a written notice therefor from the
Administrative Agent in each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and
on the Maturity Date. The utilization fee shall be calculated quarterly
in arrears. The utilization fee shall accrue at all times, including at
any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4 is not
met.

     (c) Other Fees.

     (i) ACS shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in the
amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees
shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

     (ii) Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders and the Competitive
Lenders, as the case may be, in Dollars or such other currency
agreed by any such Competitive Lender,

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

such fees, if any, as shall have been separately agreed upon
in writing in the amounts, upon such terms and at the times so
specified.

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for
Base Rate Loans and Fixed Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of
interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Available Foreign
Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in
accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for
the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made
shall, subject to Section 2.14(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.13 Evidence of Indebtedness.

     (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender and Competitive Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and Competitive Lender, as the case may be, and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender and
Competitive Lender, as the case may be, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders
and Competitive Lenders, as the case may be, to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of any
conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender or
Competitive Lender, as the case may be, and the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.

     (b) Any Lender or Competitive Lender may request that Loans made by
it be evidenced by a Note in addition to such accounts or records
referred to in clause (a). In such event, the Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to such Lender or Competitive Lender, as the case may be, a
Note payable to the order of such Lender or Competitive Lender.

     (c) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause
(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the
purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and
records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.

2.14 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

     (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made
without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with
respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Available
Foreign Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to
which such payment is owed,

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in
Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the
Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans
denominated in an Available Foreign Currency shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in
such Available Foreign Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates
specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this
Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Borrower
is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an
Available Foreign Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in
Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Available Foreign Currency
payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Primary Currency Lender or Multi-Currency Lender, as the case may
be, its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein, including, without limitation, its CAM Percentage share) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i)
after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the
Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of
payments in an Available Foreign Currency, shall in each case be deemed
received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest
or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by any
Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

     (b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior
to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender
has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.
If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of
such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays
its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed
Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower
shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.

     (c) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer
hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the
applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of
the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day
Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

     (d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes
available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by
the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit
Extension set forth in Section 4 are not satisfied or waived in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return
such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender,
without interest.

     (e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section
9.4(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under Section 9.4(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and
no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 9.4(c).

     (f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or
will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.15 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender Party shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, the
Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations held by it, the participations in L/C
Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it or (after giving effect to the
assignments of interests required under Section 7.13), the Competitive Bid
Loans held by it and or participations in Competitive Letters of Credit held by
it, in any such case resulting in such Lender Party’s receiving payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued
interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender Party receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the relevant Loans, subparticipations in L/C Obligations,
Swing Line Loans, and Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations of the other
Lender Parties, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that
the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lender Parties ratably
in accordance with the their respective pro rata shares of the relevant Loans
or participations, as provided herein, provided that:

     (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be
construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or
(B) any payment obtained by a Lender Party as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Competitive Letter of Credit
Obligations, or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant,
other than to ACS or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the
provisions of this Section shall apply).

     Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender Party acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender Party were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the
amount of such participation.

2.16 Additional Borrowers.

     (a) ACS may at any time, upon not less than 5 Business Days’ notice
from ACS to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be
agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), include any
Subsidiary of ACS (an “Applicant Borrower”) as an additional Borrower to
receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which
shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly
executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G (an
“Additional Borrower Notice and Assumption Agreement”). The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower
becoming entitled to utilize the Facilities or submit a Competitive Bid
Request provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall have received such documents and items, in form, content, and scope
reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, set forth on Schedule
2.16 hereto. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of all such
documents or items, the Administrative Agent shall either (i) notify ACS
of the need to correct, clarify, or supplement any of the items provided
pursuant to this clause (a) or (ii) send a notice in substantially the
form of Exhibit H (an “Additional Borrower Notice”) to ACS and the
Lenders specifying that the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a
Borrower for purposes hereof in accordance with the terms of the
Additional Borrower Notice. If the Administrative Agent has notified ACS
of the need to correct, clarify, or supplement any of the items provided
pursuant to this clause (a), within 5 Business Days of the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any requested corrections, clarifications or
supplements to the items previously delivered pursuant to this clause
(a), the Administrative Agent shall either (i) notify ACS that such
Applicant Borrower has been rejected as a Borrower hereunder or (ii) send
an Additional Borrower Notice to ACS and the Lenders specifying that the
Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Borrower for purposes hereof in
accordance with the terms of the Additional Borrower Notice. Upon the
acceptance of any Applicant Borrower as a Borrower hereunder, each of the
Lenders agrees to permit such Borrower to receive Loans and request
Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit hereunder, on the
terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees
that such Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this
Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any
other Loan Document, the obligations of each Borrowing Subsidiary to
repay its Obligations shall be several and not joint. The failure of any
Borrower to repay any of its Obligations shall not relieve any other
Borrower of its corresponding obligation to repay the Obligation.

     (c) Each Subsidiary of ACS that becomes a “Borrower” pursuant to
this Section 2.16 hereby irrevocably appoints ACS as its agent for all
purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents,
including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates
contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt
of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Borrower
hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or
other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or
taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid
and effective if given or taken only by ACS, whether or not any such
other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent,
acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication
delivered to ACS in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower.

     (d) Upon the request of a Borrowing Subsidiary and so long as such
Borrowing Subsidiary has repaid in full all Obligations of such Borrowing
Subsidiary (other than contingent Obligations for which no demand has
been made), the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably
authorized by the Lender Parties to) execute a release of such Borrowing
Subsidiary from its obligations as a Borrower under the Loan Documents
(other than such obligations that expressly survive the termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder) substantially in the form of Exhibit I; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document other
than such release of such Borrowing Subsidiary in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I.

2.17 Increase in Commitments.

     (a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the
Lenders), ACS may from time to time, request an increase in the Primary
Currency Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding
$300,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in
a minimum amount of $10,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, ACS
(in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time
period within which each Primary Currency Lender is requested to respond
(which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of
delivery of such notice to the Primary Currency Lenders).

     (b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Primary Currency Lender
shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or
not it agrees to increase its Primary Currency Commitment and, if so,
whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable
Percentage of such requested increase. Any Primary Currency Lender not
responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to
increase its Primary Currency Commitment.

     (c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify ACS and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of
a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative
Agent, each L/C Issuer, and each Swing Line Lender, ACS may also invite
additional Eligible Assignees to become Primary Currency Lenders pursuant
to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and its counsel.

     (d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments
are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent
and ACS shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective
Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify ACS and the Primary Currency Lenders of the
final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition
precedent to such increase, ACS shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of each Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date
(in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of
such Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
such Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the
case of ACS, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 5
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date,
and (B) no Default exists. The Borrowers shall prepay any Primary
Currency Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and
pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the
extent necessary to keep the outstanding Primary Currency Committed Loans
ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any
nonratable increase in the Primary Currency Commitments under this
Section.

     (f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any
provisions in Section 2.14 or 9.1 to the contrary.

SECTION 3 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.1 Taxes.

     (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of the respective Borrowers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction
or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if
the applicable Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent and each Lender
Party, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

     (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the
provisions of clause (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other
Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.

     (c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower (subject to the
proviso set forth below) shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such
Lender Party, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that
the liability of (i) each Borrowing Subsidiary shall be limited solely to
the indemnification obligations related to Loans made to or Letters of
Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued to such Borrowing
Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall
be for the indemnification obligations related to all Loans made to or
Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued to all
Borrowers. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to a Borrower by

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

a Lender Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender Party,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment
of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental
Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

     (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to ACS (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Borrowers), at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
any applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate
of withholding. In addition, any Lender Party, if requested by any
applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or
the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender Party is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that
a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender Party under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of any
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is
legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

     (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party,

     (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI,

     (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of
the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C)
of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, or

     (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis
for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit
Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

     Without limiting the obligations of the Lender Parties set forth
above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each
Lender Party’s status for U.S. withholding tax

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

purposes, each Lender Party agrees promptly to deliver to the
Administrative Agent or Borrowers, as the Administrative Agent or
Borrowers shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and
in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required
by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any other
jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender Party, as are
required under such Laws to confirm such Lender Party’s entitlement to
any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding
taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender Party outside
of the U.S. by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to
establish such Lender Party’s status for withholding tax purposes in such
other jurisdiction. Each Lender Party shall promptly (i) notify the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or
render invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take
such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, and as may be reasonably
necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid
any requirement of applicable Laws of any such jurisdiction that any
Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable
to such Lender Party. Additionally, each of the Borrowers shall promptly
deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, as the
Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall reasonably request, on or
prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such
documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the
Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower,
as are required to be furnished by such Lender Party or the
Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party of Taxes or Other Taxes, or
otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such
jurisdiction.

     (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender Party in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
clause shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any
Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any
other Person.

3.2 Illegality. If any Lender or Competitive Lender determines that any
Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or Competitive Lender, or its applicable Lending
Office, to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated
in Dollars or a Foreign Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates
based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed
material restrictions on the authority of such Lender or Competitive Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Foreign Currency in
the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender or
Competitive Lender to Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any
obligation of such Lender or Competitive Lender to make or continue
Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case
of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed
Loans to

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be suspended until such Lender or
Competitive Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt
of such notice, ACS and the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender or Competitive Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay
or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans and of such
Competitive Lender, to a Fixed Rate Loan at a rate comparable to the rate
immediately prior to such conversion, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender or Competitive Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender or Competitive Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, ACS and the
applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or
converted.

3.3 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that
for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or
an Available Foreign Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable
offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and
Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan (whether
denominated in Dollars or an Available Foreign Currency), or (c) the
Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in
the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.4 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

     (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended or participated in by, any Lender or Competitive Lender
(except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.4(e)) or
any L/C Issuer or any Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer;

     (ii) subject any Lender Party to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit,
any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurocurrency Rate
Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Lender Party in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.1 and the imposition of, or any
change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender
Party); or

     (iii) impose on any Lender Party or the London interbank
market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by such Lender Party, any
Letter of Credit or participation therein, or any Competitive
Letter of Credit;

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to
such Lender Party of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loan (or
of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the
cost to such Lender Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any
Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or
to issue any Letter of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit, as the
case may be), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender Party, each Borrower
(subject to the proviso set forth below) shall pay to such Lender Party,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered; provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing
Subsidiary shall be limited solely to such additional amounts as are
related to Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of
Credit issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing
Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be for such additional amounts
related to all Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters
of Credit issued to all Borrowers.

     (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender Party determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender Party or any Lending Office of such
Lender Party, or such Lender Party’s, holding company, if any, regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender Party’s capital or on the capital of such Lender
Party’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the
Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, Letters of Credit and
Competitive Letters of Credit issued by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender Party, to a level below that which such
Lender Party or such Lender Party’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender Party’s
policies and the policies of such Lender Party’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time each Borrower
(subject to the proviso set forth below) shall pay to such Lender Party,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender Party or such Lender Party’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered; provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing
Subsidiary shall be limited solely to such additional amounts as are
related to Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of
Credit issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing
Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be for such additional amounts
related to all Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters
of Credit issued to all Borrowers.

     (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender Party
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
Party or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause
(a) or (b) of this Section 3.4 and delivered to ACS and the applicable
Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. ACS or the
applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender Party, as the case may be, the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

     (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender
Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to
demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to
compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
nine months prior to the date that such Lender Party, as the case may be,
notifies the applicable Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to
claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (e) Additional Reserve Requirements. Each Borrower (subject to the
proviso set forth below) shall pay to each Lender Party, (i) as long as
such Lender Party shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or
deposits additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves
allocated to such Loan by such Lender Party (as determined by such Lender
Party in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii)
as long as such Lender Party shall be required to comply with any reserve
ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking
or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance
of the Primary Currency Commitments or the Multi-Currency Commitments or
the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs
(expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary,
to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated
to such Primary Currency Commitment, Multi-Currency Commitment or Loan by
such Lender Party (as determined by such Lender Party in good faith,
which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due
and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan;
provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing Subsidiary shall be
limited solely to such additional interest or amounts as are related to
Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit
issued to such Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s
behalf) and (ii) ACS shall be for such additional interest or amounts
related to all Loans made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters
of Credit issued to all Borrowers, provided further that ACS and the
applicable Borrowing Subsidiary (if any) shall have received at least 10
days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest or costs from such Lender Party. If a Lender Party
fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from
receipt of such notice.

3.5 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender Party, as
applicable (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), from time to time, each
Borrower (subject to the proviso set forth below) shall promptly compensate
such Lender or Competitive Lender for and hold such Lender or Competitive
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of
the following; provided that the liability of (i) each Borrowing Subsidiary
shall be limited solely to such loss, cost or expense as are related to Loans
made to or Letters of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued to such
Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii) ACS
shall be for such loss, cost or expense related to all Loans made to or Letters
of Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued to all Borrowers:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan
other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic,
by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

     (b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure
of such Lender Party to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or
convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Fixed Rate Loan, as
applicable, on the date or in the amount notified by ACS or the
applicable Borrower;

     (c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or
drawing under any Letter of Credit or Competitive Letter of Credit (or
interest due thereon) denominated in a Foreign Currency on its scheduled
due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or

     (d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by
ACS pursuant to Section 3.6;

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any
loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained
by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract. Each Borrowing Subsidiary, severally, and ACS, jointly and
severally, shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender or Competitive Lender in connection with the foregoing.

     For purposes of calculating amounts payable by ACS or the applicable
Borrower to any Lender Party under this Section 3.5, such Lender Party shall be
deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the
Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.

3.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders and Competitive Lenders.

     (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender or
Competitive Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4, or any
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any
Competitive Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender or Competitive Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender or
Competitive Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.2, then such
Lender or Competitive Lender, as the case may be, shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender or Competitive Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.4,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice
pursuant to Section 3.2, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not
subject such Lender or Competitive Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or
Competitive Lender. ACS hereby agrees to pay (or to cause the applicable
Borrower to pay in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with
any such designation or assignment.

     (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender or Competitive Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.4, or if any Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Competitive Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Competitive
Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender or Competitive Lender is
a Defaulting Lender, then ACS may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Lender or Competitive Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender or Competitive Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 9.6), all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be
another Lender Party, if such Lender Party accepts such assignment),
provided that:

     (i) ACS shall have paid (or caused another Borrower to pay) to
the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section
9.6(b);

     (ii) such Lender or Competitive Lender, as applicable, shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.5) from the

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or a Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts);

     (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
claim for compensation under Section 3.4 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 3.1, such assignment will result in a
reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

     (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

     No Lender or Competitive Lender shall be required to make any such
assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by
such Lender or Competitive Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling ACS to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

3.7 Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS

4.1 Conditions of Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of any L/C
Issuer and each Lender to make its initial Credit Extension hereunder is
subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent described on
Schedule 4.1.

4.2 Conditions to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender
Party to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan
Notice requesting only a conversion of Committed Loans to the other Type, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans) is subject to the following
conditions precedent:

     (a) The representations and warranties of (i) the Borrowers
contained in Section 5 (other than those representations and warranties
in Section 5.5(b), except with respect to the initial Credit Extension)
and (ii) each Borrower contained in each other Loan Document or in any
document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or
therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as
of the date of such Credit Extension, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date;

     (b) No Default shall exist, or would result from such proposed
Credit Extension or the application of the proceeds thereof;

     (c) The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the applicable L/C
Issuer or the applicable Swing Line Lender shall have received a Request
for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements hereof;

     (d) If the applicable Borrower is a Subsidiary of ACS, then the
conditions of Section 2.16 to the designation of such Borrower as an
additional Borrower shall have been met to the satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent; and

     (e) In the case of a Credit Extension to be denominated in an
Available Foreign Currency, there shall not have occurred any change in
national or international financial, political or economic conditions or
currency exchange rates or exchange controls which in the reasonable

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

opinion of the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Lenders (in
the case of any Loans to be denominated in an Available Foreign Currency)
or the applicable L/C Issuer (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be
denominated in an Available Foreign Currency) would make it impracticable
for such Credit Extension to be denominated in the relevant Available
Foreign Currency.

     Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice
requesting only a conversion of Committed Loans to the other Type or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans) submitted by any Borrower
shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions
specified in Sections 4.2(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date
of the applicable Credit Extension.

SECTION 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     ACS, for itself and on behalf of each Company (and each Borrowing
Subsidiary, for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries, to the extent
any representations and warranties are applicable to such Borrowing Subsidiary
or its Subsidiaries), represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and
the Lender Parties as follows:

5.1 Purpose of Credit Facility. Borrowers will use (or will advance such
proceeds to their Subsidiaries to so use) all proceeds of Borrowings for one or
more of the following: (a) to repay the Indebtedness existing under the
Existing Credit Agreement and to pay the related costs and expenses; (b) to
finance Acquisitions; (c) for working capital of the Companies; and (d) for
general corporate purposes. No Company is engaged principally, or as one of
its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose
of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation
U. No part of the proceeds of any Borrowing will be used, directly or
indirectly, for a purpose which violates any Law, including, without
limitation, the provisions of Regulation T, U, or X (as enacted by the FRB, as
amended).

5.2 Existence, Good Standing, Authority, and Authorizations. Each
Borrower and, except where not a Material Adverse Event, each Company is duly
organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of its
jurisdiction of organization. Except where not a Material Adverse Event, each
Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where the nature and extent of its business and properties require
the same. Except where not a Material Adverse Event, each Company possesses
all the Authorizations necessary or required in the conduct of its respective
business(es), and the same are valid, binding, enforceable, and subsisting
without any defaults thereunder or enforceable adverse limitations thereon and
are not subject to any proceedings or claims opposing the issuance,
development, or use thereof or contesting the validity thereof. No
Authorization which has not been obtained and is in full force and effect is
required by reason of or in connection with the execution and performance of
the Loan Documents by the Borrowers.

5.3 Authorization and Contravention. The execution and delivery by each
Borrower of each Loan Document to which it is a party and the performance by
such Borrower of its obligations thereunder (a) are within the organizational
power of such Borrower; (b) will have been duly authorized by all necessary
organizational action on the part of such Borrower when such Loan Document is
executed and delivered, (c) require no action by or in respect of, or filing
with, any Governmental Authority, which action or filing has not been taken or
made on or prior to the Closing Date (or if later, the date of execution and
delivery of such Loan Document), (d) will not violate any provision of the
Organization Documents of such Borrower, (e) except where not a Material
Adverse Event, will not violate any provision of Law applicable to it, (f)

a Material Adverse Event, (b) knows of any violation by any Company of any
Environmental Law, except for such violations that are not a Material Adverse
Event, or (c) knows that any Company is under any obligation to remedy any
violation of any Environmental Law, except for such obligations that are not a

(based on actuarial assumptions used for funding purposes in the most
recent actuarial valuation prepared by the Employee Plan’s actuary with
respect to such Employee Plan) did not, as of the last annual actuarial
valuation date for such Employee Plan, exceed the then-current value of
the assets of such Employee Plan except for such an excess that is not a
Material Adverse Event, and (f) the present value of accrued benefits
under each Employee Plan (based on PBGC actuarial assumptions used for
plan termination), does not exceed the value of the assets of such
Employee Plan by more than $25,000,000.

5.9 Properties; Liens. Except where not a Material Adverse Event, each
Company has good and marketable title to all its property reflected in the

without infringement or claim of infringement of any license, patent,
copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name, trade secret, or other
intellectual property right of others, other than any such infringements or
claims which, if successfully asserted against or determined adversely to any

infringement by others of any material license, patent, copyright, service
mark, trademark, trade name, trade secret, or other intellectual property of
any Company exists, except where such Company is actively prosecuting to cease
such infringement or such infringement (if it continued unabated) is not a
Material Adverse Event.

collectively), any default or other event or condition occurs or exists
(other than a mandatory prepayment as a result of a Disposition of assets
or the issuance of equity or debt) beyond the applicable grace or cure
period the effect of which is to cause or to permit any holder of (or
trustee with respect to) that Indebtedness to cause, whether or not it
elects to cause, any of that Indebtedness to become due (whether by
acceleration, redemption, or otherwise) before its stated maturity or
regularly scheduled payment dates, which default, event, or condition
could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Event; or

     (b) an ERISA Event shall occur or exist with respect to any Employee
Plan or Multiemployer Plan, and as a result of such ERISA Event and all
other ERISA Events then-existing, the aggregate liabilities incurred (or
in the reasonable judgment of Required Lenders, likely to be incurred) of

the validity or enforceability thereof be contested by any Borrower party
thereto or any Borrower shall deny in writing that it has any or any further
liability or obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

owing by such Borrower shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of ACS and such Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
and the Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations owing by such Borrower shall

protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived
by the Borrowers.

     (a) Allocation Among Borrowers. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (i) any amounts received or collected

other Borrower (as the case may be), allocated ratably among the
Lender Parties in accordance with their applicable CAM Percentage of the
respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

     Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C

the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit and Competitive Letters
of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy

all Letters of Credit and Competitive Letters of Credit have either been
fully drawn or expired or the amount on deposit exceeds the amount
required by Sections 2.4(j) and 2.6(k)(vii), then such remaining amount
or excess shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order
set forth above.

the Conversion Date, such funds shall be applied to the Facility,
Competitive Loan or Competitive Letter of Credit, as designated by ACS,
in the order provided in the preceding clause (b), with any
determinations of “ratable” allocations for any Lender being made (i)

the Primary Currency Total Outstandings owed to all Primary Currency
Lenders and (ii) with respect to payments under the Multi-Currency
Facility, on any date of determination, on the basis of the proportion

Lender bears to the Multi-Currency Total Outstandings owed to all
Multi-Currency Lenders.

7.13 Collection Allocation Mechanism.

     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, on the
date (the “Conversion Date”) that (i) there has been an acceleration of
the maturity of the Obligations or a termination of the obligations of
the Lenders to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit and Competitive
Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Event of Default, or (ii)
an Event of Default described in Section 7.3 occurs, (A) the Commitments
shall automatically and without further act be terminated; (b) Loans and
all other Obligations denominated in any Foreign Currency other than
Euros shall be converted into, and all such amounts due thereunder shall
accrue and be payable in, Dollars at the Exchange Rate on such date; and
(C) on and after such date the interest

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

rate applicable to all such Obligations shall be the Default Rate
applicable to overdue Base Rate Loans hereunder (in the case of all
Dollar-denominated Loans, including, without limitation, the Loans
converted to Dollars pursuant to clause (b) preceding) or the Default
Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (in the case of Loans
denominated in Euros).

     (b) From and after the Conversion Date, Loans shall be denominated
only in Dollars or Euros, as the case may be, and all fees due under this
Agreement shall be payable in Dollars other than Letter of Credit Fees
and fronting fees with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Euros,
which fees may continue to be paid in Euros.

     (c) On the Conversion Date, each Lender Party (each a “Selling
Lender”) shall sell, and each other Lender Party (each a “Purchasing
Lender”) shall purchase, without recourse, from one or more Selling
Lenders an assignment of the outstanding Loans and the participation
obligations with respect to the Letter of Credit Obligations, Competitive
Letters of Credit Obligations, and Swing Line Loans held by such Selling
Lenders in such amounts as shall be necessary to cause each Purchasing
Lender and each Selling Lender to share, in accordance with their
respective CAM Percentages, the Total Outstandings, such that after
giving effect to such assignments, each Lender Party shall hold its
respective CAM Percentage of each Dollar Obligation and its respective
CAM Percentage of each Euro Obligation. Each Purchasing Lender agrees
that this purchase obligation shall be absolute and unconditional. Such
sales and purchases shall occur automatically and without further
required actions (and without regard to the provisions of Section 9.6).
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error) of the assignments purchased
under this Section 7.13. Each Purchasing Lender that purchases an
assignment pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to have complied
with Section 9.6, and shall have all of the rights and obligations of an
assignee hereunder (without the necessity of complying with Section 9.6)
with respect to the assigned Outstanding Amounts.

     (d) Each Lender Party and each Borrower and Guarantor hereby
consents and agrees to the exchange of interests among the Lender Parties
under this Section 7.13 (the “CAM Exchange”) and each Lender Party agrees
that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns.

     (e) Each Borrower agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent all Notes and other instruments and documents as
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm
the respective interests of the Lender Parties after giving effect to
this Section 7.13, and each Lender Party agrees to surrender any Notes
originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the
Administrative Agent against delivery of new Notes evidencing its
interests in the Loans (if so requested by such Lender); provided that,
the failure of any Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to
accept any such Note, instrument, or document shall not affect the
validity or effectiveness of this Section 7.13.

     (f) As a result of the assignment of interests pursuant to this
Section 7.13, upon and after the Conversion Date, each payment received
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document shall be
distributed to the Lender Parties ratably in accordance with their
respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by any Lender
Party upon or after the Exchange Date, including by way of setoff in
respect of the Total Outstandings, shall be paid over to the
Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lender Parties in accordance
with this Section 7.13.

SECTION 8 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lender Parties hereby
irrevocably appoints JPMorgan to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lender Parties, and no Borrower shall have rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

8.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or
Competitive Lender, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Competitive
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” and “Competitive Lender” or “Competitive
Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof or other Affiliate thereof as if such
Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lender Parties.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:

     (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by
the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
or Competitive Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in
the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers
or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Competitive Lenders as shall
be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall
be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 7.11) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative
Agent by a Borrower or a Lender Party.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to
the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit or Competitive
Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender Party, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender Party unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender Party prior to the making of
such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit or Competitive Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

8.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at
any time give notice of its resignation to the Lender Parties and Borrowers.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
the right, with the consent of ACS if no Default has occurred or is continuing
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of
any such bank with an office in the United States having combined capital and
surplus of at least $100,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed as provided in the previous sentence and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the
Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify Borrowers and the Lender Parties that no qualifying Person has accepted
such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to
be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or
to each Lender Party directly, until such

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided
above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Section and Section 9.4 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting
as Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by JPMorgan as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and a Swing Line
Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder in accordance with this Section 8.6, (a) such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C
Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the
successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make
other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume
the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of
Credit.

8.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related Parties
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

8.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation
Agents or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties, liabilities, or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent, a Lender, a Competitive Lender, an L/C Issuer or a
Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder.

8.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of
whether the principal of any Loan, any L/C Obligation or any Competitive Letter
of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations,
the Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender
Parties and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Lender Parties and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Lender Parties and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4(l) and (m), 2.11 and 9.4) allowed
in such judicial proceeding; and

     (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the
event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lender Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any
amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.4.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender
Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender Party or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender Party in any
such proceeding.

certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when
received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given

     (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to
the Lender Parties hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic

pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender Party
pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender Party, as applicable, has notified
the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under
such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or
Borrowers, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to them hereunder by electronic communications at e-mail
addresses and pursuant to procedures approved by them, provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

     Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and
other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received
upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended
recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as
available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that
if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal
business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be
deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business
day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an
Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed
receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in
the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication
is available and identifying the website address therefor.

     (c) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers, the

other Lender Party may change its address, telecopier or telephone number
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to ACS, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lenders.

     (d) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lender Parties. The
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely and
act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices, Swing
Line Loan Notices and Bid Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of
any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified
herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other
form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood
by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. ACS shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and the Related
Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities
resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly
given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and
other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be
recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto
hereby consents to such recording.

9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender Party or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not

(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any

with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under
this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of
Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all
such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit, or Competitive

Borrowing Subsidiary (or on such Borrowing Subsidiary’s behalf) and (ii)
ACS shall be for the expenses related to all Loans made to or Letters of
Credit or Competitive Letters of Credit issued to all Borrowers.

     (b) Indemnification by ACS. ACS shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Syndication Agent, each
Co-Documentation Agent, each Lender Party, and each Related Party of any
of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from
all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be
employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other
Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) any Loan, Letter of Credit, Competitive Letter of Credit or
the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by any L/C Issuer or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable,
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit or Competitive
Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such
demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or
Competitive Letter of

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of
Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by any
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any
other theory, whether brought by a third party or by ACS or any other
Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in
all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out
of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a
claim brought by ACS or any other Borrower against an Indemnitee for
breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, if ACS or such other Borrower has obtained a
final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that ACS or any other
Borrower, if applicable, for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any
amount required to be paid by such Person under clause (a) or (b) of this
Section 9.4 to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent, any Lender Party or any
Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender, each Competitive
Lender and each Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), each L/C Issuer
or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s, such
Competitive Lender’s and such Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer’s
ratable share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or any
L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any
of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders, the Competitive Lenders and the Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuers under this clause (c) are subject to the
provisions of Section 2.14(e).

     (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, any Loan, Letter of Credit, or Competitive Letter of Credit or
the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b)
above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

     (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be
payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

     (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
resignation of the Administrative Agent and any L/C Issuer, the
replacement of any Lender Party, the termination of

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all the other Obligations.

9.5 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and
such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred and if such Borrower has been released pursuant to Section 2.16(d)
hereof, such release is of no further force and effect, and (b) each Lender
Party severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its
applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable
currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lender under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.6 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party, and except that no Lender or
Competitive Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance
with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 9.6, (ii) by way of
participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this
Section 9.6, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section 9.6
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall
be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 9.6
and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of
each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders and Competitive Lenders. Any Lender or
Competitive Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Primary Currency Commitment,
Multi-Currency Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this
clause (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at
the time owing to it); provided that

     (i) except in the case of (A) an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s or Competitive Lender’s
commitment under any Facility or Competitive Loan and the Loans at
the time owing to the assigning Lender or Competitive Lender or (B)
an assignment to a Lender Party, an Affiliate of a Lender Party or
an Approved Fund, the aggregate amount of the commitment under any
Facility or Competitive Loan (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or,

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal
outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender or
assigning Competitive Lender subject to each such assignment,
determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent
or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each
of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred
and is continuing, ACS otherwise consents (each such consent of ACS
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

     (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of
a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s or Competitive
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect
to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause
(ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Competitive Loans or
Swing Line Loans unless specifically stated in the Assignment and
Assumption and this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit
assignment of a proportionate part of the assigning Lender’s or
Competitive Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one
Facility or its Competitive Loans; and

     (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible
Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender Party, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender or Competitive Lender, as applicable, under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender or Competitive Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s or Competitive Lender’s, as the case may be, rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or such Competitive Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, and 9.4 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
Upon request, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note to the
assignee Lender or Competitive Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a
Lender or Competitive Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this clause shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender or Competitive
Lender, as the case may be, of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this
purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lender Parties, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans, L/C Obligations and Competitive Letter of Credit
Obligations owing to, each Lender Party pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

available for inspection by each of the Borrowers and the L/C
Issuers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for
a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any
Lender Party wishing to consult with other Lender Parties in connection
therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of
the Register.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural person or ACS or any of ACS’
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s, Competitive Lender’s, or Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitment, the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans), or
Competitive Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lender’s, Competitive Lender’s, or Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii)
such Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, and the Lender Parties shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Lender’s, Competitive
Lender’s, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender, Competitive
Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter
of Credit Issuer shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 9.1 that affects such Participant and to the extent such Lender,
Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer has the right
to approve any such amendment, waiver or other modification. Subject to
clause (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 to the
same extent as if it were a Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive
Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender,
Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case
may be, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as
though it were a Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of
Credit Issuer, as the case may be.

     (e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.4 than the
applicable Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit
Issuer, as the case may be, would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of
the participation to such Participant is made with ACS’ prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender, Competitive Lender, or Competitive Letter of Credit Issuer shall
not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless ACS is notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.1(e) as though
it were a Lender or Competitive Lender, as the case may be.

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

     (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender or Competitive Lender may at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender Party, as the case may be, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender or
Competitive Lender, as the case may be from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
Party, as the case may be, as a party hereto.

     (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the
keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same
legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the
New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

     (h) Resignation as an L/C Issuer or a Swing Line Lender after
Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if at any time JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, or any other Lender that is an L/C
Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to clause (b)
above, such L/C Issuer may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to Borrowers and the
Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to
Borrowers, resign as a Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such
resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, ACS shall be entitled to
appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by ACS to appoint
any such successor shall affect the resignation of the resigning Person
as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If JPMorgan,
Wells Fargo, or any other Lender that is an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C
Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C
Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the
Primary Currency Lenders or Multi-Currency Lenders, as the case may be,
to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in
Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.4). If JPMorgan or Wells
Fargo resigns as a Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans
made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Primary Currency Lenders to make Base
Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing
Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.5(c).

9.7 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Related
Parties’ directors, officers, employees, and agents, including accountants,
legal counsel, and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the
extent requested by any regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d)
to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of
any rights or remedies hereunder or any suit, action, or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or any suit, action, or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder;
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or
any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or
prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any financial hedge or
credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrowers or to
any securitization of the Obligations; (g) with the consent of the Borrowers;
(h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as
a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than any Borrower. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this
Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending
industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, the Aggregate Commitments, and the Total
Outstandings. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from any Company relating to any Company or its business,
properties, assets, prospects, financial condition, or operations, other than
any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party prior to disclosure by any Borrower. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

9.8 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender Party, and each of their respective Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by
such Lender Party, or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a
branch or office of such Lender Party different from the branch or office
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each
Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender Party or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender Party agrees
to notify ACS and any applicable Borrowing Subsidiary and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and
application.

9.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under
the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent
or any Lender Party shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the
Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to ACS (for its account
and the account of the other Borrowers). In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
Party exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws, (a) characterize any payment that is not
principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the
other Loan

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it
shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of
an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or on their behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may have had
notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit
shall remain outstanding.

9.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan

Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with
the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency,
the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such

Five Year Competitive Advance and

Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

 

 

Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement
Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the
Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to
return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who
may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

9.17 Resignation of L/C Issuers. Any L/C Issuer may resign as an L/C
Issuer upon giving 30 days prior written notice to Borrowers; provided that (i)
such Lender Party shall continue to be an L/C Issuer for purposes of this
Agreement for all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer at the time of
such resignation until such time as such Letters of Credit expire or are
replaced and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, each of JPMorgan and Wells
Fargo agrees that it shall not resign as an L/C Issuer so long as no Default

this agreement; provided that, notwithstanding this clause (ii), each L/C
Issuer shall have the right to resign pursuant to Section 9.6(h).

Exhibit 10.2

GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY is executed as of October 27, 2004, by the undersigned
(“Guarantor”), for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties).

RECITALS

     A. Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., other Borrowers from time to time
party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent (including its
permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, “Administrative Agent”), and
certain other lenders (including their respective permitted successors and
assigns) have entered into a Five Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit
Facility Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2004 (as amended, modified,
supplemented, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

     B. This Guaranty is integral to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents and the execution and delivery hereof is a condition precedent to
Lenders Parties’ obligations to extend credit under the Loan Documents.

     ACCORDINGLY, for adequate and sufficient consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor guarantees to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties the prompt payment of the
Guaranteed Debt (defined below) as follows:

     1. DEFINITIONS. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same
meanings when used, unless otherwise defined, in this Guaranty. As used in
this Guaranty:

     Borrower means any Borrower (as defined in the Credit Agreement) other
than Guarantor, any such Borrower as a debtor-in-possession, and any receiver,
trustee, liquidator, conservator, custodian, or similar party appointed for any
such Borrower or for all or substantially all of any such Borrower’s assets
under any Debtor Relief Law.

     Credit Agreement is defined in the recitals to this Guaranty.

     Guaranteed Debt means, collectively, (a) the Obligations of the Borrowers
and (b) all present and future costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses reasonably
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to enforce any Borrower’s,
Guarantor’s, or any other obligor’s payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt,
including, without limitation (to the extent lawful), all present and future
amounts that would become due but for the operation of § 502 or 506 or any
other provision of Title 11 of the United States Code and all present and
future accrued and unpaid interest (including, without limitation, all
post-maturity interest and any post-petition interest in any proceeding under
Debtor Relief Laws to which any Borrower or Guarantor becomes subject).

     Guarantor is defined in the preamble to this Guaranty.

     Lender Party means, individually, or Lender Parties means, collectively,
on any date of determination, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties
and their permitted successors and assigns.

     Subordinated Debt means all present and future obligations of any Borrower
to Guarantor, whether those obligations are (a) direct, indirect, fixed,
contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, (b)
due or to become due to Guarantor, (c) held by or are to be held by Guarantor,
(d) created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, or (e) evidenced
in writing.

Guaranty

 

 

     2. GUARANTY. This is an absolute, irrevocable, and continuing guaranty of
payment, not collection, and the circumstance that at any time or from time to
time the Guaranteed Debt may be paid in full does not affect the obligation of
Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Debt incurred after that. This
Guaranty remains in effect and is a continuing guaranty until the Guaranteed
Debt (other than contingent Obligations included in the Guaranteed Debt for
which no demand has been made) is fully paid in cash and performed, and all
commitments to extend any credit under the Loan Documents have terminated, all
Letters of Credit and Competitive Letters of Credit have expired or been
terminated; and, upon the occurrence of each such event, this Guaranty shall
automatically terminate without any further action on the part of any Person
(other than with respect to such obligations included in the Guaranteed Debt
that expressly survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and
repayment of all other Obligations). Guarantor may not rescind or revoke its
obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Debt. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any other agreement or instrument
executed in connection with the payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt, the
amount of the Guaranteed Debt guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not
render Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under § 548 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any applicable
state Law.

     3. CONSIDERATION. Guarantor represents and warrants that the extension of
credit and other transactions under the Credit Agreement may reasonably be
expected to directly or indirectly benefit it, that it is benefiting from the
advances made to the Borrowers, and that the value of the consideration
received and to be received by Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as much
as Guarantor’s liability and obligation under this Guaranty.

     4. CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. If Guarantor becomes liable for any indebtedness
owing by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, other
than under this Guaranty, that liability may not be in any manner impaired or
affected by this Guaranty. The rights of the Administrative Agent or the
Lender Parties under this Guaranty are cumulative of any and all other rights
that the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties may ever have against
Guarantor. The exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties of
any right under this Guaranty or otherwise does not preclude the concurrent or
subsequent exercise of any other right.

     5. PAYMENT UPON DEMAND. If an Event of Default exists, Guarantor shall,
on demand and without further notice of dishonor and without any notice having
been given to Guarantor previous to that demand of either the acceptance by the
Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties of this Guaranty or the creation or
incurrence of any Guaranteed Debt, pay the amount of the Guaranteed Debt then
due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties. It is not
necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties, in order to
enforce that payment by Guarantor, first or contemporaneously to institute suit
or exhaust remedies against any Borrower or others liable on any Guaranteed
Debt or to enforce rights against any Collateral securing any Guaranteed Debt.

     6. SUBORDINATION. The Subordinated Debt is expressly subordinated to the
full and final payment of the Guaranteed Debt. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default and upon receipt of written notice from
the Administrative Agent so directing, Guarantor agrees not to accept any
payment of any Subordinated Debt from any Company. If Guarantor receives any
payment of any Subordinated Debt in violation of the foregoing, Guarantor shall
hold that payment in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties
and promptly turn it over to the Administrative Agent, in the form received
(with any necessary endorsements), to be applied to the Guaranteed Debt.

     7. SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION. Until payment in full of the Guaranteed
Debt (other than contingent Obligations included in the Guaranteed Debt for
which no demand has been made), the termination of all commitments to extend
any credit under the Loan Documents, and the

Guaranty

 

 

expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and Competitive Letters
of Credit, (a) Guarantor may not assert, enforce, or otherwise exercise any
right of subrogation to any of the rights or Liens of the Administrative Agent
or the Lender Parties or any other beneficiary against any Borrower or any
other obligor on the Guaranteed Debt or any collateral or other security (if
any) or any right of recourse, reimbursement, subrogation, contribution,
indemnification, or similar right against any Borrower or any other obligor on
any Guaranteed Debt or Guarantor of it, (b) Guarantor defers all of the
foregoing rights (whether they arise in equity, under contract, by statute,
under common Law, or otherwise), and (c) Guarantor defers the benefit of, and
subordinates any right to participate in, any collateral or other security (if
any) given to the Administrative Agent or the Lender Parties or any other
beneficiary to secure payment of any Guaranteed Debt.

     8. NO RELEASE. Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty may not be
released, diminished, or affected by the occurrence of any one or more of the
following events: (a) any taking or accepting of any other security or
assurance for any Guaranteed Debt; (b) any release, surrender, exchange,
subordination, impairment, or loss of any collateral securing any Guaranteed
Debt (if any); (c) any full or partial release of the liability of any other
obligor on the Obligation, except for any final release resulting from payment
in full in cash of the entire Obligations (other than contingent Obligations
included in the Guaranteed Debt for which no demand has been made); (d) the
modification of, or waiver of compliance with, any terms of any other Loan
Document; (e) the insolvency, bankruptcy, or lack of corporate or partnership
power of any other obligor at any time liable for any Guaranteed Debt, whether
now existing or occurring in the future; (f) any renewal, extension, or
rearrangement of any Guaranteed Debt or any adjustment, indulgence,
forbearance, or compromise that may be granted or given by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender Party to any other obligor on the Obligations; (g) any
neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party to take or prosecute any action in connection with the
Guaranteed Debt or to foreclose, take, or prosecute any action in connection
with any Loan Document; (h) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender Party to notify Guarantor of any renewal, extension, or assignment of
any Guaranteed Debt, or the release of any security or of any other action
taken or refrained from being taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
Party against any Borrower or any new agreement between the Administrative
Agent, any Lender Party, and any Borrower; it being understood that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party is required to give Guarantor any
notice of any kind under any circumstances whatsoever with respect to or in
connection with any Guaranteed Debt, other than any notice required to be given
to Guarantor by Law or elsewhere in this Guaranty; (i) the unenforceability of
any Guaranteed Debt against any other obligor or any security securing same
because it exceeds the amount permitted by Law, the act of creating it is ultra
vires, the officers creating it exceeded their authority or violated their
fiduciary duties in connection with it, or otherwise; (j) any payment of the
Obligations to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party is held to
constitute a preference under any Debtor Relief Law or for any other reason the
Administrative Agent or any Lender Party is required to refund that payment or
make payment to someone else (and in each such instance this Guaranty will be
reinstated in an amount equal to that payment); or (k) any other circumstance
(including any statute of limitations) that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, a borrower or guarantor.

     9. WAIVERS. To the extent permitted by Law, Guarantor hereby waives
presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate,
notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment. To the maximum
extent lawful, Guarantor waives all rights by which it might be entitled to
require suit on an accrued right of action in respect of any Guaranteed Debt or
require suit against any Borrower or others.

     10. LOAN DOCUMENTS. By execution hereof, Guarantor covenants and agrees
that certain representations, warranties, terms, covenants, and conditions set
forth in the Loan Documents are applicable to Guarantor by their terms and
shall be imposed upon Guarantor, and Guarantor reaffirms that

Guaranty
