Securitization Facility, (c) the FNIS Loan Purchaser purchases
up to $928,125,000 of the Term Loans of the Consenting Lenders on

Collateral Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or
advisable to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest in the
Capital Stock of such new Subsidiary that is owned by any such
Group Member (provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the
total outstanding voting Capital Stock of any such new Subsidiary
be required to be so pledged), (ii) deliver to the
Administrative Agent the certificates, if any, representing such
Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, in blank,

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 6.11 or in any Security Document, the
requirement to provide additional guaranties or collateral from any
Group Member or any Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed to be timely
satisfied so long as such required guaranties are made and
collateral is granted within 60 days (or such longer period as the
Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) after
the end of the fiscal quarter of FNIS in which the event arose that
requires the making of such guaranty or the grant of such
collateral by the relevant Group Member or its Subsidiary;
provided that in connection with any acquisition of any
Restricted Company by a Group Member, if any Subsidiary of a Group
Member that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
required, pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.11 to become
a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower shall, in each case at the

Section 6.12. Covenant to
Guarantee Obligations by FNIS Loan Parties.
(a) Cause the following Restricted
Subsidiaries that are not Group Members to guarantee the
Obligations (each, a “ FNIS Subsidiary Guarantor
”): such Restricted Subsidiaries as shall constitute,
together with the Group Members that are Loan Parties, (x) at
least 95% of the Consolidated EBITDA of FNIS and its Domestic
Subsidiaries (excluding, for the purposes of such calculation,
(1) all Unrestricted Subsidiaries, but including any
Subsidiaries that were, at one time, designated as Unrestricted
Subsidiaries, but have been redesignated as Restricted Subsidiaries
pursuant to Section 6.13 and (2) all Prohibited
Restricted Subsidiaries described in the following sentence for so
long as the relevant Indebtedness remains outstanding) for the four
fiscal quarters most recently ended for which financial statements
have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 and (y) at
least 95% of the Total Assets of FNIS and its Domestic Subsidiaries
(excluding, for the purposes of such calculation, (1) all
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, but including any Subsidiaries that
were, at one time, designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, but
have been redesignated as Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to
Section 6.13 and (2) all Prohibited Restricted
Subsidiaries described in the following sentence for so long as the
relevant Indebtedness remains outstanding) as of the last day of
the fiscal quarter most recently ended for which financial
statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than a Group Member) that is a guarantor of any Permitted
Subordinated Indebtedness shall also be required to be a FNIS
Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) no Subsidiary shall be required to
be a FNIS Subsidiary Guarantor if such Subsidiary is a Foreign
Subsidiary or a Domestic Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary and
(iii) no Restricted Subsidiary that is prohibited from
guaranteeing the Obligations pursuant to documents governing any
Indebtedness assumed in connection with a Permitted Acquisition and
not incurred in contemplation thereof (each, a “
Prohibited Restricted Subsidiary ”) shall be required
to become a FNIS Subsidiary Guarantor for so long as such
Indebtedness remains outstanding.
(b) At the end of each fiscal
quarter of FNIS, the Borrower shall determine whether any
Restricted Companies that are not currently FNIS Subsidiary
Guarantors shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.12(a) to become FNIS Subsidiary Guarantors and,
within 60 days after the end of such fiscal quarter (or such longer
period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion), will at the Borrower’s expense, cause any new
FNIS Subsidiary Guarantors (each, an “ Additional
Guarantor ”) to duly execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a guaranty substantially in the form of
Exhibit I (either directly or via a guaranty supplement) or such
other form of guaranty or guaranty supplement to guarantee the
Obligations in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and FNIS, it being understood and agreed that
FNIS and each Subsidiary that is required to be an
A-9
FNIS Subsidiary Guarantor on the Amendment
No. 1 Effective Date shall duly execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a FNIS Loan Party Guaranty on the Amendment
No. 1 Effective Date; provided that in connection with
any acquisition of any Restricted Company (other than a Group
Member), if any Subsidiary that is not already a FNIS Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.12(a) to become a FNIS Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Borrower shall, in each case at the Borrower’s expense and
within 30 days of being so required, cause such Subsidiary to duly
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a FNIS Loan Party
Guaranty.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that FNIS shall determine
at any time that certain Restricted Subsidiaries that are not
required to be FNIS Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of Section 6.12(a) are parties to a FNIS Loan Party
Guaranty, FNIS shall be entitled to give notice to that effect to
the Administrative Agent whereupon such Restricted Subsidiaries
shall no longer be deemed to be FNIS Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly release each such Restricted
Subsidiary from its FNIS Subsidiary Guaranty.
Section 6.13. Designation of
Subsidiaries. FNIS may at
any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that (i) other than in the case of the
designation of (x) a Joint Venture in existence on the
Amendment No. 1 Effective Date that thereafter becomes a
Subsidiary or (y) a Securitization Vehicle (each, an
“Excluded Unrestricted Subsidiary”), immediately before
and after such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) other than in the case of the designation of
a Excluded Unrestricted Subsidiary, immediately after giving effect
to such designation, FNIS and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall
be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with the covenants set
forth in Section 7.10 (and, as a condition precedent to the
effectiveness of any such designation, FNIS shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance),
(iii) neither the Borrower nor any borrower under the FNIS
Credit Agreement may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
(iv) no designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, other than an Excluded Unrestricted
Subsidiary, shall be effective if, immediately after such
designation, (1) the Consolidated EBITDA of the Unrestricted
Subsidiaries would exceed 10% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the
Consolidated Companies for the four fiscal quarter period then most
recently ended or (2) the Total Assets of all Unrestricted
Subsidiaries would exceed 5% of the Total Consolidated Assets, in
each case determined without regard to any Excluded Unrestricted
Subsidiary at any time after such Person becomes a Subsidiary, and
(v) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the
purpose of any Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness. The designation
of any Subsidiary
A-10
(other than a Securitization Vehicle) as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the
applicable Restricted Companies therein at the date of designation
in an amount equal to the net book value (or, in the case of any
guarantee or similar Investment, the amount) of the Restricted
Companies’ Investments therein. If any Person becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary on any date after the Amendment No. 1
Effective Date (including by redesignation of an Unrestricted
Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary), the Indebtedness of such
Person outstanding on such date will be deemed to have been
incurred by such Person on such date for purposes of
Section 7.3, but will not be considered the sale or issuance
of Equity Interests for purposes of Section 7.5.
