ACS has requested that Lenders extend a revolving credit facility to Borrowers not to exceed a total outstanding principal amount of $875,000,000 (subject to increase pursuant to SECTION 2.4) at any time (with certain subfacilities for letters of credit and swing-line advances) to be used by Borrowers as provided in SECTION 8.1. Lenders are willing to extend the requested credit facility on the terms and conditions of this agreement.

ACS means Affiliated Computer Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
ADJUSTED EBITDA means EBITDA of the Companies on a consolidated basis adjusted (a) as permitted and in accordance with, Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933 and (b) to give effect to any Acquisitions and divestitures of or by the Companies during the applicable Rolling Period as if such transactions had occurred on the first day of such Rolling Period regardless of whether the effect is positive or negative.
ADJUSTED EURODOLLAR RATE means, for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for any Interest Period therefor, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) determined by Administrative Agent to be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for such Interest Period by (b) 1 minus the Reserve Requirement for such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for such Interest Period.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT means Wells Fargo Bank Texas, National Association, and its permitted successors or assigns as "Administrative Agent" for Lenders under the Loan Documents.

AFFILIATE of any Person means any other Person who directly or indirectly Controls, or is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, such Person.
AGENTS means, collectively, Administrative Agent, Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents, and Senior Managing Agent.
ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY means Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling, Euros, or any other currency that Administrative Agent has notified Borrowers, upon their request, that Administrative Agent and Required Lenders have determined to be freely transferable and convertible into Dollars, so long as (a) such currency is dealt with in the London interbank deposit market, (b) such currency is freely transferable and convertible into Dollars in the London foreign exchange market, (c) no Governmental Authority in the country of issue of such currency is required to permit use of such currency by any applicable LC Issuer for issuing LCs or honoring drafts presented under LCs in such currency, and (d) there is no restriction or prohibition under any applicable Law against the use of such currency for such purposes.

For purposes of the foregoing: (a) if the Debt Rating issued by Moody's and the Debt Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (but not more than one (1) Pricing Level apart), then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the higher Pricing Level (e.g., if the Debt Rating issued by S&P is in Pricing Level 1 and the Debt Rating issued by Moody's is in Pricing Level 2, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Pricing Level 1); (b) if the Debt Rating issued by Moody's and the Debt Rating issued by S&P shall fall within different Pricing Levels (and by more than
