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

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

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
A-9
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 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
A-10
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 (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.
