the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Interbank
Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the
Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as
part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the applicable Borrower shall repay to
the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of
any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower.
(d) The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required
by it (such Lender being a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its
participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender
of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this
Agreement.
Section 2.3 Swing Loans
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, (i) the Dollar
Swing Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans denominated in Dollars to any Primary
Revolving Borrower (a “Dollar Swing Loan”) and (ii) the Euro Swing Lender may, in its sole
discretion, make loans denominated in Euros to any Primary Revolving Borrower (a “Euro Swing Loan”
and together with the Dollar Swing Loans, the “Swing Loans”), in each case, under the Primary
Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date
hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that at no time shall the
Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding of all such Swing Loans
exceed the Swing Loan Sublimit. Each Swing Loan must be repaid in full within seven days after its
making or, if sooner, upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder and shall in any event mature
no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first
sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).
Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Minimum Currency
Threshold.
(b) In order to request a Swing Loan, the applicable Primary Revolving Borrower shall telecopy
(or forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Administrative Agent a duly completed
request in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Swing Loan Request), setting forth the
requested amount, currency and date of such Swing Loan (a “Swing Loan Request”), to be received by
the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of the proposed
borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Swing Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement, the applicable Swing Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Administrative
Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such amounts available to such Primary
Revolving Borrower on the date of the relevant Swing Loan Request. No Swing Lender shall
47
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
make any Swing Loan in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives
written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender that one or more of the
conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of
Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. No
Swing Lender shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have
been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Loan.
(c) Each Swing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be a
telecopy or electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first
Business Day of each week, of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans made
by such Swing Lender.
(d) Each Swing Lender may demand at any time that each Primary Revolving Lender pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of such Swing Lender, in the manner provided in clause (e)
below, such Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing
Loans advanced by such Swing Lender, which demand shall be made through the Administrative Agent,
shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans demanded to
be paid.
(e) The Administrative Agent shall forward each notice referred to in clause (c) above and
each demand referred to in clause (d) above to each Primary Revolving Lender on the day such notice
or such demand is received by the Administrative Agent (except that any such notice or demand
received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or any
such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to
the Primary Revolving Lenders by the Administrative Agent until the next succeeding Business Day),
together with a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of each
Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Swing
Loans and Euro Swing Loans stated to be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant
to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section
3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) and Section 2.1(a) (Primary Revolving
Credit Commitments), shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Primary Revolving
Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), each Primary Revolving Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York
time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Primary Revolving Lender’s receipt of
such notice or demand, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds,
for the account of the applicable Swing Lender, the amount specified in such statement in the
applicable currency. Upon such payment by a Primary Revolving Lender, such Primary Revolving
Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Primary Revolving
Loan to the applicable Primary Revolving Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds
to repay the Swing Loans to the applicable Swing Lenders. To the extent that any Primary Revolving
Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Swing Lender, the applicable Primary Revolving Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on
demand.
(f) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Primary
Revolving Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each
Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Primary Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e)
above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Primary Revolving Lender’s
Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the
48
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
applicable Swing Lender on the date on which such Primary Revolving Lender would
otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e)
above, in immediately available funds in the applicable currency, an amount equal to such Primary
Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in
fact made available by such Primary Revolving Lender to the applicable Swing Lender on such date,
such Swing Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Primary
Revolving Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Interbank Rate for the first
Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to
Base Rate Loans.
(g) From and after the date on which any Primary Revolving Lender (i) is deemed to have made a
Primary Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (e) above with respect to any Swing Loan or (ii)
purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Loan pursuant to clause (f) above, the
applicable Swing Lender shall promptly distribute to such Primary Revolving Lender such Primary
Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of all payments of principal of and interest received by such
Swing Lender on account of such Swing Loan other than those received from a Primary Revolving
Lender pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year
after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than thirty days prior to the Scheduled
Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to
one year may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year,
as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the Company and
the Issuer of such Letter or Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) neither
the Issuer of such Letter of Credit nor the Company shall permit any such renewal to extend the
expiration date of any Letter beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above.
(c) In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Company shall give the
relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in
substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or

Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained
in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) or clause (a)
50
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(viii)(B) and (C)
above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit
and its Affiliates, clause (a)(viii)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and
ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. No Issuer shall otherwise be required to

(Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the
Issuance of any Letter of Credit.
(e) The Company agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Company
shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued

Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
(f) Each Issuer shall comply with the following:
(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed
promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the
Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit
Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Company of any
Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly

Revolving Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such
Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such
Primary Revolving Lender; and

provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to
each Primary Revolving Lender requesting the same) and the Company, separate schedules for
Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it to the Company, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the
aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each month
and any information requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.
(g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to
each Primary Revolving Lender, and each Primary Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and
unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable
Portion of the Primary Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Company with respect thereto (including all
Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty
pertaining thereto.
(h) The Company agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all
Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under such Letter of Credit issued
51
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
for the account of the Company (or for the joint account of the Company and any Group
Member) no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Company receives
written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the
“Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company
may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes
any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Company shall not have repaid such amount to such
Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Company is rescinded or set aside for
any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed
(i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the
rate of interest applicable during such period to Primary Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans
and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest
applicable during such period to past due Primary Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and
such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each
Primary Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Primary Revolving Lender shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such
Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if
such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars. If the
Administrative Agent so notifies such Primary Revolving Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time)
on any Business Day, such Primary Revolving Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business
Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Primary Revolving Lender, such Primary
Revolving Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under
Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been
satisfied (which conditions precedent the Primary Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be
deemed to have made a Primary Revolving Loan to the Company in the principal amount of such
payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Company a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as
to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a
Primary Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the
Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon
receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Primary Revolving
Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Primary Revolving Lender’s Ratable
Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the
Primary Revolving Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.
(i) If and to the extent such Primary Revolving Lender shall not have so made its Ratable
Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Primary Revolving Lender agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount
together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the
Interbank Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans under the Primary Revolving Credit Facility.
(j) The obligation of the Company to pay each of its Reimbursement Obligations and the
obligations of the Primary Revolving Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be
52
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan
Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company,
any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Company, any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary
under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be
forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders,
the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this
Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Company
hereunder.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any
Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct,
shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Company or any Lender. In determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary
and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the
documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein,
including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not
the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any
document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if
such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other
statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or
invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and
any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit
with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the Issuer.

(k) Schedule 2.4 (Existing Letters of Credit) contains a schedule of certain letters of credit
issued prior to the Closing Date by The Bank of New York and Xxxxx Fargo Bank (each an “Existing
Issuer”) for the account of the Company. On the Closing Date (i) such letters of credit, to the
extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto
converted to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 for the account of the Company
and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose the fees specified in Section 2.12(b)
(Fees) shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit
reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such letters of credit) as if such letters of
credit had been issued on the Closing Date, (ii) the issuers of such Letters of Credit shall be
deemed to be “Issuers” hereunder solely for the purpose of maintaining such letters of credit, for
purposes of Section 2.16(g) relating to the obligation to provide the appropriate forms,
certificates and statements to the Company and the Administrative Agent and any updates required by
Section 2.16(g) and for purposes of Section 2.7 relating to the entries to be made in the Register,
(iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such letters of credit shall be included in the
calculation of Letter of Credit Obligations and (iv) all liabilities of the Company with respect to
such letters of credit shall constitute Obligations. No letter of credit converted in accordance
with this clause (k) shall be amended, extended or renewed without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.
Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments
(a) The Company may (i) upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part ratably the unused portions of (A) the
Primary Revolving Credit Commitments of the Primary Revolving Lenders or (B) the Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Commitments of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or (ii) prior to the Closing
Date, upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the Term Loan
Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction pursuant to
clause (i) and (ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Minimum Currency
Threshold. Any unused Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Closing Date. In addition, all
outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Termination Date.
(b) The then current Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced on each date on which a
prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans is made pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii) (Mandatory
Prepayments) in connection with any Permitted Receivables Financing or would be required to be made
had the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Loans equaled the Revolving Credit Commitments then
in effect, in each case, in the amount of such prepayment (or deemed prepayment) (and the Revolving
Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender shall be reduced by its Ratable Portion of such
amount).
Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans
(a) Each Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Primary
Revolving Loans, the Multicurrency Revolving Loans, the Dollar Swing Loans and the Euro Swing Loans
owed by it on the Scheduled Termination Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.
54
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
(b) Each Term Loan Borrower promises to (i) repay the Term Loans in equal quarterly
installments of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans advanced to such Term
Loan Borrower on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and (ii) repay
the entire unpaid principal amount of such Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt
(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing Indebtedness of each Borrower, as applicable, to such Lender resulting from each Loan of
such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.
(b) (i) The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrowers solely for this
purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the
Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each
Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each
Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any
assignment of any such interest or rights. In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting
as agent of the Borrowers solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and
maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall
record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Commitments of
each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount and recipient of each Loan made and, if a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by each Borrower to, or for the account
of, each Lender hereunder, (v) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by each
Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter Credit
Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an
Issuer, and (vi) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
each Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to
which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each
Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans
(including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are
registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers
and their assignees in and to such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be,
shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. A Note shall
only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to
the related Loan, and in no event is any such Revolving Credit Note to be considered a
bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2 shall be construed
so that the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered
form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any
related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).
(c) The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima
55

facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or
any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the
Loans in accordance with their terms. In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender
or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the
Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Company, the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender
requests that any Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in
order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by such Borrower hereunder, such Borrower
shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans
and Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form
of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Note), respectively.
Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments
(a) Revolving Loans. Each Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that if any
prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an
Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section

principal amount not less than (x) the applicable Minimum Currency Threshold or (y) the remaining
Revolving Credit Outstandings owed by such Borrower.

to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the
prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part,
together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid;
provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is made by such Borrowers
other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrowers shall also pay any
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs); provided, further, that each partial
prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than (x) the Minimum Currency
Threshold or (y) the total outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and any such partial
prepayment shall be applied to reduce ratably the remaining installments of such outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loans of all Term Loan Borrowers. Upon the giving of such notice of
prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and
payable on the date specified for such prepayment.
(c) No Borrower shall have any right to prepay the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or
any Term Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.8.

collateralize Letters of Credit) in accordance with clause (c) below upon receipt by any Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising from:
(i) any Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of which
exceeds $5,000,000 individually (in a single transaction or series of related
transactions), in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; and
(ii) any Debt Issuance, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

Credit) in accordance with clause (c) below, within 95 days after the last day of each Fiscal Year
ended on or after June 30, 2007, in an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the previous
Fiscal Year; provided, however, that (i) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such
Fiscal Year is less than 3.5 to 1, then such percentage shall be reduced to 25% and (ii) if the
Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 2.5 to 1, then such
percentage shall be reduced to 0%; provided, however, that, the aggregate amount of the prepayment
required under this Section 2.9(b) for each Fiscal Year shall be reduced by the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans and, to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction or
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Loans, in each case, prepaid under
Section 2.8 (Optional Prepayments) during such Fiscal Year.
(c) Application of Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), any
prepayments made by the Borrowers required to be applied in accordance with this clause (c)
shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Term
Loans until the Term Loans shall have been prepaid in full; second, at the option of the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, to repay the outstanding principal
balance of the Swing Loans until the Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; third, to
repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (subject to clause (ii)
below, ratably between the Primary Revolving Loans and the Multicurrency Revolving Loans)
until the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and fourth, to provide cash
collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of such Letter
of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters
of Credit) until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized
in the manner set forth therein; provided, however, that (A) upon a Deferred Prepayment
Event, the prepayments required under clauses first through fourth above shall be reduced
by the Deferred Prepayment Amount in respect of such Deferred Prepayment Event and (B) on
the earlier of (1) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 9.1(a), (b) or (f)
or, upon notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders to the Company, any
other Event of Default and (2) the Deferred Prepayment Date, the remaining balance of such
Deferred Prepayment Amount shall be applied in accordance with clauses first through fourth
above.
(ii) All prepayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to this clause (c) shall be
applied to reduce ratably the remaining installments of such
57
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans of all Term Loan Borrowers; provided,
however, that the Borrowers shall apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from an
Asset Sale involving the assets of any Borrower to first, to reduce ratably the remaining
installments of the outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans made to such Borrower
and then, to the remaining Term Loans as required hereunder. All prepayments of the
Revolving Loans made pursuant to this clause (c) shall be applied ratably as between the
Primary Revolving Loans and the Multicurrency Revolving Loans; provided, however, that, in
the event the all or any portion of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds are received in a
currency other than Dollars or Euros, the Company may, at its option, apply such amount of
Net Cash Proceeds to first, to prepay ratably any Multicurrency Revolving Loans outstanding
in such currency and then, to the remaining Revolving Loans as required hereunder. All
prepayments of the Swing Loans made pursuant to this clause (c) shall be applied ratably as
between the Dollar Swing Loans and the Euro Swing Loans. To the extent provided in Section
2.5(b) (Reduction and Termination of the Commitments), all repayments of Revolving Loans
and Swing Loans required to be made pursuant to this clause (c) shall result in a permanent
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowers shall
have the right to determine the source of funds for all prepayments required to be made
under this Section 2.9.
(d) Revolving Credit Outstandings. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of Primary
Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Primary Revolving Credit Commitments at such
time, the Primary Revolving Borrowers shall immediately prepay first, the Swing Loans and then, the
Primary Revolving Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. If any such
excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Primary
Revolving Loans, the Primary Revolving Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the applicable
Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters
of Credit) in an amount equal to 105% of such excess. If, at any time, the principal amount of the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit
Commitments at such time, the Multicurrency Revolving Borrowers shall immediately prepay the
Multicurrency Revolving Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such excess results solely by reason of a change
in exchange rates, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to make such prepayment unless
the amount of such excess causes the Primary Revolving Credit Outstandings or Multicurrency
Revolving Credit Outstandings, as the case may be, to exceed the Primary Revolving Credit
Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, respectively, by more than 110%.
Section 2.10 Interest
(a) Rate of Interest.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, all Loans (other
than Swing Loans) denominated in (x) any Available Currency (other than Dollars) shall be
made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) Dollars shall be made, at the option of the
Borrower, as Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans; provided, however, that all such
Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section
2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans),
58

the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurocurrency
Rate Loans. All Dollar Swing Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans, and all Euro Swing
Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in
the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and
payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c)

(A) if a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Base
Rate as in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Margin;
(B) if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1)
the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, (2) the
Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Eurocurrency Interest

Kingdom, Mandatory Costs; provided, however, that any Euro Swing Loan may bear
interest at such higher rate as may be agreed among the Administrative Agent, the
Euro Swing Lender and the Company;
(C) for all other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the
Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable Margin for
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.
(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (other than Swing Loans)
shall be payable in arrears (A) at the end of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days
after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal
Quarter ending after the making of such Base Rate Loan, (B) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are
Term Loans, upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously
paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan, (ii)
interest accrued on Swing Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the
immediately succeeding calendar month, (iii) interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall
be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if
such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest

payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at
maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (iv) interest
accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time
such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or
elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Sections 9.1(a), (b) or (f) or (ii) notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders
to the Company after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as
such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans
59
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
and the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate
that is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other
Obligations from time to time. Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be
applicable to such interest pursuant to cause (b) above or otherwise on demand.
Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option
(a) Each Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans
(other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of
any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base
Rate Loans or to continue such Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional
Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans for
each Interest Period must be not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold. Each conversion or
continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s
Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of
Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made
by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying
(A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or
a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a
conversion, the date of such conversion.
(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of
Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans and no continuation in
whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period
shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would
violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If,
within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does
not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Company or the applicable Borrower
containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest
Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period,
such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be irrevocable.
Section 2.12 Fees
(a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Company agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars to each
Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit
Commitment of such Revolving Lender exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the
aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through
the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in
arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days
after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal
Quarter ending after the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to
Letters of Credit issued to it by any Issuer:
(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit,
with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to a
percentage per annum to be agreed between the Company and the applicable Issuer of the
Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in
arrears (A) at the end of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days after the
receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first Fiscal
Quarter ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date;
(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Revolving
Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a rate per
annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans
on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit,
payable in arrears (A) at the end of each Fiscal Quarter no later than three Business Days
after the receipt of an invoice from the Administrative Agent, commencing with the first
Fiscal Quarter ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of
Default under Sections 9.1(a), (b) or (f) or, upon notice from the Administrative Agent or
the Requisite Lenders to the Company, any other Event of Default, such fee shall be
increased by two percent per annum (instead of, and not in addition to, any increase
pursuant to Section 2.10(c) (Interest)) and shall be payable on demand; and
(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment
or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and
processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in
effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.
(c) Additional Fees. The Company has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the
Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.
Section 2.13 Payments and Computations
(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later
than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no
such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds
relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance
with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the
account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d)
(Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or
Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be
61
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
paid only to the applicable Swing Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after
1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 360 days and, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding
the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Each payment by any Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or
fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation
shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such
cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit
Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement
Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for payments in respect of a
Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any
Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly
related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.
(d) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees,
as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or
principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall
be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Primary Revolving Loans,
Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans
outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate
Loans, with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurocurrency Interest Periods
being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurocurrency Interest Periods.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower to
the applicable Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower
will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date
an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall
not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay
to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together
with interest thereon (at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in
accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with
Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the
Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to
pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the
62
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Administrative Agent may have advanced to such Borrower pursuant to the express provisions of
this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been
reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrowers, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and
payable (provided, however, that no amount received from, or on behalf of, any Borrower that is a
Foreign Subsidiary shall be applied to pay the U.S. Obligations) and third, as the Company so
designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be
distributed to the applicable Swing Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the
Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each applicable Revolving Lender in accordance with
such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments; payments in respect
of the Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term Loan
Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Term Loans; and all payments of fees
and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the
Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in
proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.
(g) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and,
upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the
Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) shall, apply all payments in respect of any
Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising
from a Deferred Prepayment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application
of such proceeds as specified in a Deferred Prepayment Notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral
in the following order:
(i) first, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or
indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;
(ii) second, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or
indemnities then due to the other Secured Parties;
(iii) third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Secured
Parties;
(iv) fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Secured
Obligations;
(v) fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Secured Obligations and to
provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner
described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit); and
(vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Secured Obligations;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Secured Obligation described
in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Secured Obligation
(unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Secured Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of
each Secured Party’s interest in the aggregate outstanding
63
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Secured Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that payments that would
otherwise be allocated to the Credit Agreement Obligations shall be allocated first to pay interest
on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have
advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by
such Lender or any Borrower; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to
the Revolving Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Swing Loans until such Loans are repaid in
full and then to repay the Revolving Loans; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any order of
application stated above, proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied solely against the Secured
Obligations secured thereby. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),
(v), (vi) and (vii) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the
Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Company, any
Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer.
The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above may be changed only
with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite
Lenders.
Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans
(a) Determination of Interest Rate
The Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be determined
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency
Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest
error and shall be binding on the Borrowers.
(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair
In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not
exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate
then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent
that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the
Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurocurrency Loan shall
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base
Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base
Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Company that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.
(c) Increased Costs
If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the
interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change
by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency
Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the
effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall from time to
time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to
64
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased
cost, submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d) Illegality
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the
introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental
rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurocurrency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Company
through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be
suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans are then outstanding, the
applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If, at any
time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully
make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the
notice to each other Lender. Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if
any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.
(e) Breakage Costs
In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10
(Interest), each Borrower shall compensate each applicable Lender, upon demand, for all losses,
expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s
Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the
relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of
such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a
Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Company or a Borrower or in a telephonic request
by such Borrower for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does
not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation
Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily
pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as
a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to repay Eurocurrency Rate Loans when required by the
terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrowers
concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and
this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent
manifest error.
Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy
If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the
interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of
65
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule,
regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s)
capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of
Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.
Section 2.16 Taxes
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party
under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and the Administrative
Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes
imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such
Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized and (B) any U.S.
withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including
any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of (x) an
Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance, (y) a successor Administrative Agent,
the date of the appointment of such Administrative Agent, and (z) a successor Issuer, the date such
Issuer becomes an Issuer) applicable to such Lender, such Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, but not excluding any U.S. withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in
such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance or the
date of such appointment of such Administrative Agent or the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer)
and (ii) in the case of each Lender or each Issuer, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender or such
Issuer (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or
any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes
shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan
Document to any Lender, any Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16, such Lender, such Issuer or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions,
(y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or

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

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

Administrative Agent that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators
described in Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).
(h) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use
its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change
the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a
68
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be
payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(i) Notwithstanding clause (a), but subject to clause (c) and clause (e), of this Section
2.16, if, as a result of a Borrowing made by a Subsidiary Borrower nominated by the Company and
made a party hereto after the Closing Date, any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or

respect of any sum payable by such Subsidiary Borrower under any Loan Document to any Lender, any
Issuer or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable by such Subsidiary Borrower shall be
increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16, such Lender, such Issuer or the

received had no such deductions been made, (x) such Subsidiary Borrower shall make such deductions,

or Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or
make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Company pursuant to Section 2.14(d)
(Illegality), (C) any Loan Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes)
that is attributable to a particular Lender, (D) any Multicurrency Revolving Lender deems any
currency unavailable after a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing has been requested to be
denominated in such currency or (E) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of
clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made,
the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its
Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite
Lenders under this Agreement, (iii) in the case of clause (i)(D) above, Multicurrency Revolving
Lenders holding at least 75% of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments deem such currency
available with respect to such proposed Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing and (iv) in the
case of clause (i)(A),(B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not
subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an
“Affected Lender”), the Company may at its sole expense substitute any Lender and, if reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”)
for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by
the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any
case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i)
above that the Company intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one
Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or
condition and such claims are received by the Company within 30 days of each other, then the
Company may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Company has already substituted one
of such Affected Lenders before the Company’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less
than all, Lenders making such claims.
(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected
Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims
69
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and
the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and
all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than
in respect of any damages (which pursuant to Section 11.5, do not include exemplary or punitive
damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed
obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims
hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be
effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its
Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term Loans, together with any other

substance satisfactory to it and the Company whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be
bound by the terms hereof and (ii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees,
unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date.
Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall
become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of
such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be
terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in
favor of such Affected Lender.
(c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are
assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment,
together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such
Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an
Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement
or

the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for
such expenses by the Borrowers or another Loan Party.
Section 10.7 Successor Administrative Agent
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right
to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been
so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,
selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior
written approval of the Borrowers (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be
required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to
assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the
benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.8 Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents
(a) Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or
the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater
proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so
required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the
Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the
disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and the Issuers with respect to all payments and
collections arising in connection herewith and with the Collateral Documents, (ii) execute and
deliver each Collateral Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by any Group
Member, (iii) act as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured
Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such
agreements and all other purposes stated therein, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent
hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and Issuer to act as collateral sub-agent for
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for purposes of the perfection of all
security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any cash and Cash
Equivalents held by, such Lender or such Issuer, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the
Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and
priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral
Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any
other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the
109
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties with respect to
the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.
(b) Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in
accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause
(ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders and the Issuers against any of the following:
(i) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon termination of the Commitments
and payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations and all
other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due
and payable (and, in respect of contingent Letter of Credit Obligations, with respect to
which cash collateral has been deposited or a back-up letter of credit has been issued, in
either case in the appropriate currency and on terms satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Issuers);
(ii) any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(d) or (e) (Liens,
Etc.); and
(iii) any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party if such sale or
disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent
to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement).
Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver
or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary
to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of
any such release.
Section 10.9 Collateral Matters Relating to Related Obligations
The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the
Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Secured Obligation arising under any
Hedging Contract or Cash Management Obligation or that is otherwise owed to Persons other than the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers (collectively, “Related Obligations”) solely on
the condition and understanding, as among the Administrative Agent and all Secured Parties, that
(a) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the
Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to
such extent the Administrative Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect
to, the Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Related
Obligations, but the Administrative Agent is otherwise acting solely as agent for the Lenders and
the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or
other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and
omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation,
perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or
remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or
agreement or in respect of any Related Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all
actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, by the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, each of whom shall be entitled to
act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own
110
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
Commitments and its own interest in the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other
Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or
liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Related Obligation and without regard to whether
any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or
becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Related
Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Issuers, to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to
direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the
Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents and (e) no holder of any Related
Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right except to the extent
provided in Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off) and then only to the extent such right is exercised in
compliance with Section 11.7 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.).

provided, further, that (x) any waiver or modification of the application of payments to the Term

Facility Increase).
(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written
concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such
Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall
entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination
requiring the consent of all Lenders in any Facility, the consent of the Requisite Lenders, the
Requisite Primary Revolving Lenders, the Requisite Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or the Requisite
Term Loan Lenders, in each case, as required in clause (a) above, is obtained, but the consent of
any Lender (whose consent is also required) is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not
obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then,
as long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the
Company’s request, an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right
with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but
shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting
Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender
acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Credit
Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting
Lender is a Revolving Lender and all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender if such
Non-Consenting Lender is a Term Loan Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal
balance of all such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by the Non-Consenting Lender
and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale;
provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the
Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received
from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Company whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof
and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans or Term
Loans, as applicable, held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto
through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such
sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s
Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that
the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render
such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be
recorded in the Register.
Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations
(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all
or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations
with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit);
provided, however, that (i)(A) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving
Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such
113

assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and
Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Term
Loans and Term Loan Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s
Term Loans and Term Loan Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such
assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such
assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than, with
respect to the Revolving Loans, $5,000,000, or, with respect to the Term Loans, $1,000,000 or, in
each case, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with
the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to
a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender, and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is
not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender,
such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company
(which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Company shall not be
required (x) for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and (y) for any assignment by or to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent. Any such
assignment need not be ratable as among the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility.
(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent,
for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any
Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon
the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance
and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders)
and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the
assignee (unless the assignee is the Company or the Administrative Agent) of an assignment fee in
the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an
Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the
Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii)
the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have
been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for
those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under
the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such
assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion
of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease
to be a party hereto).
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8
(Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall
record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount
of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the
Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective
until such assignment is recorded in the Register.
114
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i)
accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information
contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers. Within
five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, each Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if
requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order
of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in
connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the
order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it
hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in
substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Credit Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term
Note), as applicable.
(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may
do each of the following:
(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan
that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such
option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall
satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to
make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder
and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation
(other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised
an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such
Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall
remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the
terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes
hereunder; and
(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or
interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or
the Borrowers, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve
Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, (1) any holder
of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s Securities and (2) any
Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i)
above;
provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a
subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f)
below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such
Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this
clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or
115
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant
such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Company from any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and
shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the
principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone
any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d)
(Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital
Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such
Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such
Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights
of such Lender hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no
direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Company, the Administrative
Agent or the other Lenders.
(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with
respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation
shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other
modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan
Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such
Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the
obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or
consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of
principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such
participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of
all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b)
(Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any
participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain
unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance
of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes
of this Agreement and (z) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender;
provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not, at
any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d)
(Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such
Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such
Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold and provided, further, that
such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce
any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the other
Lenders.

by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent, such
Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b) (Evidence of Debt) relating to
notations of transfer in the Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of
any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such
cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of
Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to
outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

or several, of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and
legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding,
whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any such indemnitee or
any of its directors, security holders or creditors or any such Indemnitee, director, security
holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based
on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or
regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter
of Credit, any Disclosure Document, any Stock Repurchase Document, or any act, event or transaction
related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or
Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby
(collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that no Borrower shall have any
liability under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has
resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and
Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the any Group Member
involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or
natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on,
upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in
connection with any Remedial Action concerning the any Group Member, (iii) any costs or liabilities

in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and

operated or leased by any Group Member), whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee
is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in
interest to any Group Member, or the owner, lessee or operator of
118
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
any property of any Group Member by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those
matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred
following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to any Group Member and (y)
attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on
behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer.
(b) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for,
and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and
all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Group Member in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) The Company, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against
any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated
in clause (a) above, and the Company, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with
legal counsel of the Company’s choice. In the event that such indemnitee requests the Company to
defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the
Company shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its
choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in
defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action,
shall vitiate or in any way impair the Company’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and
hold harmless such Indemnitee.
(d) Each Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any
Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan

Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability
(a) Each Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract,
tort or otherwise) to any Group Member or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for
or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents and
Stock Repurchase Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such
Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be
liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each
Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not
to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or
not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR
119
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF
APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC

NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FORM SUCH
AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
Section 11.6 Right of Set-off
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each
Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or
its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the
Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured;
provided, however, that no such deposits or Indebtedness of a Foreign Borrower may be used to
offset any U.S. Obligations. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after
any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each
Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders (and that, it
shall, to the extent lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders)
exercise its set-off rights under this Section 11.6 against any deposit accounts of the Loan
Parties and their Subsidiaries maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof. The rights of
each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including
other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.
Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section
11.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in
respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 11.4 (Indemnities)
(other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate
Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes) or otherwise receives any Collateral or any
“Proceeds” (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments
pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital
Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of
any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) in
excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such
Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling
Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause
such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.
(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter
recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded
and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of
such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share
120
Credit Agreement
Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in
relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other
amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.
(c) Each Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a
Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such
participation.
