Credit Agreement

     This Credit Agreement is entered into as of July 31, 2009 by and between Diamond Management &
Technology Consultants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and Harris N.A., a
national banking association (the “Bank”). All capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

Preliminary Statement

     The Borrower has requested, and the Bank has agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. The Credits.

     Section 1.1. Revolving Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Bank agrees to
extend a revolving credit (the “Revolving Credit”) to the Borrower which may be availed of by the
Borrower from time to time during the period from and including the date hereof to but not
including the Termination Date, at which time the commitment of the Bank to extend credit under the
Revolving Credit shall expire. The Revolving Credit may be utilized by the Borrower in the form of
Loans and Letters of Credit, all as more fully hereinafter set forth, provided that the aggregate
principal amount of Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time shall not
exceed $12,500,000 (the “Commitment”, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to the terms hereof).
During the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date, the
Borrower may use the Commitment by borrowing, repaying, and reborrowing Loans in whole or in part
and/or by having the Bank issue Letters of Credit, having such Letters of Credit expire or
otherwise terminate without having been drawn upon or, if drawn upon, reimbursing the Bank for each
such drawing, and having the Bank issue new Letters of Credit, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

     Section 1.2. Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Revolving Credit may be availed of by the Borrower in the form of loans (individually a “Loan” and
collectively the “Loans”). Each Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000; provided, however,
that any LIBOR Portion of the Loans shall be in such greater amount as is required by Section 2
hereof. The Loans shall be made against and evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower
in the form (with appropriate insertions) attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”). The Note
shall be dated the date of issuance thereof and be expressed to bear interest as set forth in
Section 2 hereof. The Note, and all Loans evidenced thereby, shall mature and become due and
payable in full on the Termination Date. Without regard to the principal amount of the Note stated
on its face, the
actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owing by the

 

 

Borrower on account of the Note
shall be the sum of all Loans made hereunder less all payments of principal actually received by
the Bank.

     Section 1.3. Letters of Credit.

     (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Credit may be
availed of by the Borrower in the form of standby letters of credit issued by the Bank for the
account of the Borrower (individually a “Letter of Credit” and collectively the “Letters of
Credit”), provided that the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder
shall not at any one time exceed $2,500,000. For purposes of this Agreement, a Letter of Credit
shall be deemed outstanding as of any time in an amount equal to the maximum amount which could be
drawn thereunder under any circumstances and over any period of time plus any unreimbursed drawings
then outstanding with respect thereto. If and to the extent any Letter of Credit expires or
otherwise terminates without having been drawn upon, the availability under the Commitment shall to
such extent be reinstated.

     (b) Term. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall expire not later than the earlier of
(i) 12 months from the date of issuance (or be cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of
issuance and each renewal) or (ii) the Termination Date.

     (c) General Characteristics. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be payable in U.S.
Dollars, conform to the general requirements of the Bank for the issuance of a standby letter of
credit as to form and substance, and be a letter of credit which the Bank may lawfully issue.

     (d) Applications. At the time the Borrower requests a Letter of Credit to be issued (or prior
to the first issuance of a Letter of Credit in the case of a continuing application), the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Bank an application for such Letter of Credit in the form then
customarily prescribed by the Bank (individually an “Application” and collectively the
“Applications”). Subject to the other provisions of this subsection, the obligation of the
Borrower to reimburse the Bank for drawings under a Letter of Credit shall be governed by the
Application for such Letter of Credit. Anything contained in the Applications to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) in the event the Bank is not reimbursed by the Borrower for the amount the
Bank pays on any drawing made under a Letter of Credit issued hereunder by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time) on the date when such drawing is paid, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Bank
for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay on
demand) from and after the date the drawing is paid by the Bank until repayment in full thereof at
the fluctuating rate per annum determined by adding 2.0% to the sum of Base Rate as from time to
time in effect plus the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed), (ii) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of
Credit as set forth in Section 3 hereof, (iii) prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default, the Bank will not call for the funding of a Letter of Credit by the Borrower prior to
being presented with a drawing thereunder.

     Section 1.4. Manner and Disbursement of Loans. The Borrower shall give written or telephonic
notice to the Bank
(which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if given by telephone, shall be promptly
confirmed in writing) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on

-2-

 

the date the Borrower requests
the Bank to make a Loan hereunder. Each such notice shall specify the date of the Loan requested
(which must be a Business Day) and the amount of such Loan. Each Loan shall initially constitute
part of the Base Rate Portion except to the extent the Borrower has otherwise timely elected that
such Loan, or any part thereof, constitute part of a LIBOR Portion as provided in Section 2 hereof.
The Borrower agrees that the Bank may rely upon any written or telephonic notice given by any
person the Bank in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of
independent investigation and, in the event any telephonic notice conflicts with the written
confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Bank has acted in reliance thereon.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the proceeds of each Loan shall be made available to
the Borrower at the principal office of the Bank in Chicago, Illinois, in immediately available
funds, in the case of the initial Loans made hereunder, in accordance with the terms of the written
disbursement instructions of the Borrower and, in the case of each subsequent Loan, by deposit to
the Borrower’s primary operating account maintained with the Bank or as otherwise agreed upon by
the Borrower and the Bank.

Section 2. Interest and Change In Circumstances.

     Section 2.1. Interest Rate Options. (a) Generally. The outstanding principal balance of the
Loans (all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note bearing interest at the same rate for the same
period of time being hereinafter referred to as a “Portion”) shall bear interest with reference to
the Base Rate (the “Base Rate Portion”) or, at the option of the Borrower and subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, with reference to an Adjusted LIBOR (“LIBOR Portions”). All of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note which bears interest with reference to a particular Adjusted
LIBOR for a particular Interest Period shall constitute a single LIBOR Portion and all of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note which is not part of a LIBOR Portion shall constitute a single
Base Rate Portion. There shall not be more than five (5) LIBOR Portions applicable to the Note
outstanding at any one time. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligation of the Bank to create, continue or effect by conversion any LIBOR Portion shall be
conditioned upon the fact that at the time no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing. The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on each Portion of the Note at the
rates and times specified in this Section 2.

     (b) Base Rate Portion. The Base Rate Portion shall bear interest at the rate per annum equal
to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, provided that if the
Base Rate Portion or any part thereof is not paid when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration,
or otherwise), or at the election of the Bank during the existence of any other Event of Default,
such Portion shall bear interest, whether before or after judgment until payment in full thereof,
at the rate per annum determined by adding 2.0% to the interest rate which would otherwise be
applicable thereto from time to time. Interest on the Base Rate Portion shall be payable monthly
in arrears on the last day of each month in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring
after the date hereof) and at maturity of the Note, and interest after maturity (whether by lapse
of time, acceleration, or otherwise) shall be due and payable upon demand.
Any change in the interest rate on the Base Rate Portion resulting from a change in the Base Rate
shall be effective on the date of the relevant change in the Base Rate.

-3-

 

     (c) LIBOR Portions. Each LIBOR Portion shall bear interest for each Interest Period selected
therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin, provided that if any LIBOR Portion is not paid when due (whether by lapse of
time, acceleration, or otherwise), or at the election of the Bank during the existence of any other
Event of Default, such Portion shall bear interest, whether before or after judgment until payment
in full thereof, through the end of the Interest Period then applicable thereto at the rate per
annum determined by adding 2.0% to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto,
and effective at the end of such Interest Period such LIBOR Portion shall automatically be
converted into and added to the Base Rate Portion and shall thereafter bear interest at the
interest rate applicable to the Base Rate Portion after default. Interest on each LIBOR Portion
shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, with
respect to any Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Portion in excess of 3 months, on the date
occurring every 3 months after the date such Interest Period began and at the end of such Interest
Period, and interest after maturity (whether by lapse of time, acceleration, or otherwise) shall be
due and payable upon demand. The Borrower shall notify the Bank on or before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time) on the third Business Day preceding the end of an Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR
Portion whether such LIBOR Portion is to continue as a LIBOR Portion, in which event the Borrower
shall notify the Bank of the new Interest Period selected therefor; and in the event the Borrower
shall fail to so notify the Bank, such LIBOR Portion shall automatically be converted into and
added to the Base Rate Portion as of and on the last day of such Interest Period.

     Section 2.2. Minimum Amounts. Each LIBOR Portion shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or
such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.

     Section 2.3. Computation of Interest. All interest on the Note shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

     Section 2.4. Manner of Rate Selection. The Borrower shall notify the Bank by 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the date upon which the Borrower requests that any
LIBOR Portion be created or that any part of the Base Rate Portion be converted into a LIBOR
Portion (each such notice to specify in each instance the amount thereof and the Interest Period
selected therefor). If any request is made to convert a LIBOR Portion into another type of Portion
available hereunder, such conversion shall only be made so as to become effective as of the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. All requests for the creation, continuance, and
conversion of Portions under this Agreement shall be irrevocable. Such requests may be written or
oral and the Bank is hereby authorized to honor telephonic requests for creations, continuances,
and conversions received by it from any person the Bank in good faith believes to be an Authorized
Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, the Borrower hereby indemnifying
the Bank from any liability or loss ensuing from so acting.

     Section 2.5. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the
Note, if at any time the Bank shall determine that any change in applicable laws, treaties, or
regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, makes it unlawful for the Bank to create or continue
to maintain any LIBOR Portion, it shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the obligation of the
Bank to create, continue, or maintain any such LIBOR Portion under this Agreement shall be

-4-

 

suspended until it is no longer unlawful for the Bank to create, continue, or maintain such LIBOR
Portion. If the continued maintenance of any such LIBOR Portion is unlawful, the Borrower shall
prepay on demand to the Bank the outstanding principal amount of the affected LIBOR Portion
together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable to the Bank with respect
thereto under this Agreement; provided, however, the Borrower may elect to convert the principal
amount of the affected Portion into another type of Portion available hereunder, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.9 hereof).

     Section 2.6. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, Adjusted
LIBOR. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Note, if the Bank shall
determine prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that deposits in the amount of any LIBOR
Portion scheduled to be outstanding during such Interest Period are not readily available to the
Bank in the relevant market or, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR or that LIBOR as determined
hereby will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of funding any LIBOR Portion for
such Interest Period or that the making or funding of LIBOR Portions has become impracticable, then
the Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the obligations of the Bank to
create, continue, or effect by conversion any such LIBOR Portion in such amount and for such
Interest Period shall be suspended until deposits in such amount and for the Interest Period
selected by the Borrower shall again be readily available in the relevant market and adequate and
reasonable means exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR.

     Section 2.7. Taxes and Increased Costs. With respect to any LIBOR Portion, if the Bank shall
determine that any change in any applicable law, treaty, regulation, or guideline (including,
without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or any
new law, treaty, regulation, or guideline, or any interpretation of any of the foregoing, by any
governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal,
monetary, or other authority having jurisdiction over the Bank or its lending branch or the LIBOR
Portions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

     (i) impose, increase, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar
requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or
any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Bank which is not in any instance
already accounted for in computing the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Portion;

     (ii) subject the Bank, any LIBOR Portion or the Note to the extent it evidences a LIBOR
Portion to any tax (including, without limitation, any United States interest equalization
tax or similar tax however named applicable to the acquisition or holding of debt
obligations and any interest or penalties with respect thereto), duty, charge, stamp tax,
fee, deduction, or withholding in respect of this Agreement, any LIBOR Portion or the Note
to the extent it evidences a LIBOR Portion, except such taxes as may be measured by the
overall net income or gross receipts of the Bank or its lending

-5-

 

branches and imposed by the
jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, in which the Bank’s
principal executive office or its lending branch is located;

     (iii) change the basis of taxation of payments of principal and interest due from the
Borrower to the Bank hereunder or under the Note to the extent it evidences any LIBOR
Portion (other than by a change in taxation of the overall net income or gross receipts of
the Bank); or

     (iv) impose on the Bank any penalty with respect to the foregoing or any other
condition regarding this Agreement, any LIBOR Portion, or its disbursement, or the Note to
the extent it evidences any LIBOR Portion;

and the Bank shall determine that the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
(whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to the Bank of creating or maintaining any LIBOR
Portion hereunder or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received or receivable by the
Bank (without benefit of, or credit for, any prorations, exemption, credits, or other offsets
available under any such laws, treaties, regulations, guidelines, or interpretations thereof), then
the Borrower shall pay on demand to the Bank from time to time as specified by the Bank such
additional amounts as the Bank shall reasonably determine are sufficient to compensate and
indemnify it for such increased cost or reduced amount. If the Bank makes such a claim for
compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the computation of the
increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned herein in reasonable detail and
such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined.

     Section 2.8. Change in Capital Adequacy Requirements. If the Bank shall determine that the
adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change in any existing law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank (or any
of its branches) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital as a consequence of its obligations

brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon, the status of the
Loans evidenced thereby and the interest rates and Interest Periods applicable thereto; provided
that the failure of the Bank to record any of the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the

Section 6. Representations and Warranties.

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank as follows:

-17-

 

     Section 6.1. Organization and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, has full
and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly
licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted by it or the nature of the Property owned or leased by it requires such licensing or
qualifying where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     Section 6.2. Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing, and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, as the case
may be, has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted,
and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted by it or the nature of the Property owned or leased by it requires such
licensing or qualifying where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.2 hereto identifies each Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its
organization, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or
other equity interests owned by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not
100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class of
its authorized capital stock and other equity interests and the number of shares of each class
issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests
of each Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such
shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 6.2 as owned by the Borrower or a
Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary free and clear
of all Liens other than Liens granted to the Bank. There are no outstanding commitments or other
obligations of any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to
acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary.

     Section 6.3. Authority and Validity of Obligations. The Borrower has full right and authority
to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to make the borrowings herein provided for, to issue its
Note in evidence thereof, to grant to the Bank the Liens described in the Collateral Documents, and
to perform all of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Domestic
Subsidiary has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents executed by it, to
guarantee the Obligations, to grant to the Bank the Liens described in the Collateral Documents
executed by it, and to perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by it. The
Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries have been duly authorized,
executed, and delivered by such Persons and constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries enforceable against them in accordance with their terms
except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, or
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of
whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the
Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary of any of the matters and things herein or therein provided
for, (a) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction,
order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any provision of the

-18-

 

organizational documents (e.g., charter, certificate or articles of incorporation and by-laws,
certificate or articles of association and operating agreement, partnership agreement, or other
similar organizational documents) of the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any covenant,
indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any of their
Property, or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower
or any Domestic Subsidiary other than Liens granted to the Bank.

     Section 6.4. Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
extensions of credit made available hereunder for its general working capital purposes and for such
other legal and proper purposes as are consistent with all applicable laws. Neither the Borrower
nor any Subsidiary is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or
carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any extension of credit made hereunder will be used
to purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

     Section 6.5. Financial Reports. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, retained
earnings, and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended, and
accompanying notes thereto, which financial statements are accompanied by the audit report of KPMG
LLP, independent public accountants, heretofore furnished to the Bank, fairly present the
consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at said dates and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has contingent
liabilities which are material to it other than as indicated on such financial statements or, with
respect to future periods, on the financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof.

     Section 6.6. No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2009, there has been no change in
the condition (financial or otherwise) or business prospects of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
except those occurring in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the
aggregate have been materially adverse.

     Section 6.7. Full Disclosure. The statements and information furnished to the Bank in
connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the commitment
by the Bank to provide all or part of the financing contemplated hereby do not contain any untrue
statements of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the material statements
contained herein or therein not misleading, the Bank acknowledging that, as to any projections
furnished to the Bank, the Borrower only represents that the same were prepared on the basis of
information and estimates the Borrower believed to be reasonable.

     Section 6.8. Trademarks, Franchises and Licenses. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own,
possess or have the right to use all necessary patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trade
names, trade styles, copyrights, trade secrets, know how, and confidential commercial and
proprietary information to conduct
their businesses as now conducted, without known conflict

-19-

 

with
any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trade name, trade style, copyright, or other proprietary
right of any other Person.

     Section 6.9. Governmental Authority and Licensing. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
received all licenses, permits, and approvals of all foreign, federal, state, and local
governmental authorities, if any, necessary to conduct their businesses, in each case where the
failure to obtain or maintain the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No investigation or proceeding which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected to result in revocation or denial of any material license, permit or approval is pending
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.

     Section 6.10. Good Title. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and defensible title
(or valid leasehold interests) to their assets as reflected on the most recent consolidated balance
sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Bank (except for sales of assets by
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Liens other
than such thereof as are permitted by Section 8.8 hereof.

     Section 6.11. Litigation and Other Controversies. There is no litigation or governmental or
arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower
threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Property which if adversely
determined could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.12. Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary
in any jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees, and other
governmental charges upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon any of their Property, income or
franchises, which are shown to be due and payable in such returns, have been paid, except such
taxes, assessments, fees, and governmental charges, if any, as are being contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest and as to
which adequate reserves established in accordance with GAAP have been provided. The Borrower does
not know of any proposed material additional tax assessment against it or its Subsidiaries for
which adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP have not been made on their accounts. Adequate
provisions in accordance with GAAP for taxes on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
been made for all open years, and for the current fiscal period.

     Section 6.13. Approvals. No authorization, consent, license, or exemption from, or filing or
registration with, any court or governmental department, agency, or instrumentality, nor any
approval or consent of any other Person, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery,
or performance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Loan Document, except for such approvals
which have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

     Section 6.14. Affiliate Transactions. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to
any contracts or agreements with any of its Affiliates on terms and conditions which are, to the
best of the Borrower’s knowledge, less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than

-20-

 

would be
usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each
other.

     Section 6.15. Investment Company. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

     Section 6.16. ERISA. The Borrower and each other member of its Controlled Group has fulfilled
its obligations under the minimum funding standards of, and is in compliance in all material
respects with, ERISA and the Code to the extent applicable to it and has not incurred any liability
to the PBGC or a Plan under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under
Section 4007 of ERISA. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any contingent liabilities with
respect to any post-retirement benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation
coverage described in article 6 of Title I of ERISA.

     Section 6.17. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with
the requirements of all foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to
or pertaining to their Property or business operations (including, without limitation, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and laws
and regulations establishing quality criteria and standards for air, water, land and toxic or
hazardous wastes and substances), non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received notice to the effect
that its operations are not in compliance with any of the requirements of applicable federal, state
or local environmental, health and safety statutes and regulations or are the subject of any
governmental investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release
of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial
action, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     Section 6.18. Other Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under
the terms of any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any of their Property, which default if uncured could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.19. Solvency. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are solvent, able to pay their
debts as they become due, and have sufficient capital to carry on their business and all businesses
in which they are about to engage.

     Section 6.20. Compliance with OFAC Sanctions Programs. The Borrower (i) is in compliance with
the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs applicable to the Borrower, (ii) each Subsidiary of
the Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs applicable to
such Subsidiary, (iii) the Borrower has provided to the Bank all information regarding the Borrower
and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries necessary for the Bank to comply with all applicable OFAC
Sanctions Programs, (iv) to the best of the Borrower’s

-21-

 

knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any of
its Affiliates or Subsidiaries is, as of the date hereof, named on the current OFAC SDN List.

     Section 8.13. ERISA. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, promptly pay and

permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any contract, agreement or business arrangement with any of
its Affiliates on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary

Persons not affiliated with each other.

     Section 8.16. No Changes in Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
ends on March 31 of each year; and the Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to,
change its fiscal year from its present basis without the written consent of the Bank, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld.

     Section 8.17. Change in the Nature of Business. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit
any Subsidiary to, engage in any business or activity if as a result the general nature of the
business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary would be changed in any material respect from the
general nature of the business engaged in by it as of the date hereof.

     Section 8.18. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the credit extended under this
Agreement solely for the purposes set forth in, or otherwise permitted by, Section 6.4 hereof.

comply with the requirements of all OFAC Sanctions Programs applicable to the Borrower and shall

applicable to such Subsidiary.

          (b) The Borrower shall provide the Bank any information regarding the Borrower, its
Affiliates, and its Subsidiaries necessary for the Bank to comply with all applicable OFAC
Sanctions Programs; subject however, in the case of Affiliates, to the Borrower’s ability to
provide information applicable to them.

          (c) If the Borrower obtains actual knowledge or receives any written notice that the Borrower,
any Affiliate or any Subsidiary is named on the then current OFAC SDN List (such occurrence, an
“OFAC Event”), the Borrower shall promptly (i) give written notice to the Bank of such OFAC Event,
and (ii) comply with all applicable laws with respect to such OFAC Event (regardless of whether the
party included on the OFAC SDN List is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of
America), including the OFAC Sanctions Programs, and the Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to
the Bank taking any and all steps the Bank deems

-31-

 

necessary, in its sole but reasonable discretion,
to avoid violation of all applicable laws with respect to any such OFAC Event, including the
requirements of the OFAC Sanctions Programs (including the freezing and/or blocking of assets and
reporting such action to OFAC).

shall not permit the ratio of EBIT for the four fiscal quarters of the Borrower then ended to
Interest Expense for the same four fiscal quarters then ended to be less than 1.50 to 1.0;
provided, however, that for the calculations as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the

     Section 10.2. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Bank or
on the part of the holder of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as
a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of

power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Bank and of the holder of the Obligations
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise
have.

     Section 10.3. Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by the

other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     Section 10.4. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand the
costs and expenses of the Bank (i) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder or thereunder, and in connection with the recording or filing of any of the
foregoing, and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (ii) in
connection with any consents hereunder or waivers or amendments hereto or thereto, including the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Bank with respect to all of the foregoing (whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated); provided, however, that the Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay in excess of $7,000 for legal fees and expenses in connection with
clause (i) above. The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Bank or any other holder of the
Obligations all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable

-35-

 

attorneys’ fees), if any,
incurred or paid by the Bank or any other holder of the Obligations in connection with any Default
or Event of Default or in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder or
thereunder (including, without limitation, all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with
any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any guarantor).
The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Bank, and any security trustee, and their respective
directors, officers and employees, against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation
therefor, whether or not the indemnified Person is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or
incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any
extension of credit made available hereunder, other than those which arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification. The Borrower, upon demand
by the Bank at any time, shall reimburse the Bank for any legal or other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing except if the same is
directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 10.5. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand any documentary, stamp
or similar taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including
interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such
assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

     Section 10.6. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall
continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as
any credit is in use or available hereunder.

     Section 10.7. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to
reimbursement to the Bank of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Bank with respect to
the Loans, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.7 and 2.9 hereof, shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Note.

     Section 10.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be
in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant
party at its address or telecopier number set forth below, or such other address or telecopier
