(the "Company") entered into a three-year, $250 million unsecured revolving credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, as borrower, Hewitt Associates, Inc. (the Registrant), as guarantor, and the lenders party thereto. This credit facility contains a $25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes and replaces the Company's previous $200 million, five-year credit agreement dated May 23, 2005, as amended.

2.00% to 3.00% over LIBOR or 1.00% to 2.00% over the alternate base rate.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain (1) a leverage ratio not exceeding 2.50 to 1.00 and (2) an interest coverage ratio not less than 2.00 to 1.00 and is subject to other conditions and covenants as contained in the Credit Agreement. The facility is subject to annual commitment fees ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum times the average daily unused commitments.
The Credit Agreement expires on October 9, 2012. At October 9, 2009, there were no borrowings and $10.4 million of letters of credit issued under the credit facility.
