The Credits

Section 2.1. Commitments to Lend. Each Bank with a Commitment severally agrees, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans (each a “Loan” and, collectively, the
“Loans”) to the Borrower pursuant to this Section in U.S. Dollars in an amount equal to its
Commitment. The Borrowing under this Section shall be made in a single Borrowing on the Effective
Date from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, at which time
the Commitments shall expire. Loans shall either be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans. No
amount repaid or prepaid on any Loan may be borrowed again.

Section 2.2. Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a
“Notice of Borrowing”) in respect of the Borrowing of Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago,
Illinois time) on (x) the Business Day of the Borrowing if such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate
Borrowing and (y) the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Borrowing if such
Borrowing is to be a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:

(i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii) what Type of Loans are to be borrowed;

(iii) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest
Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period
and in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, the date, if any, on which such Loan will be

(iv) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing.

Section 2.3. Notice to Banks Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s
share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Borrower.

(b) Not later than 1:30 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank
shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available,
to the Administrative Agent at its Payment Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that
any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent
will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Payment Office.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date
of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
subsection (b) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such
Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the
Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and
the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.6 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for
purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.4. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its
usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank
resulting from each Loan made by such Bank from time to time, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Bank may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in
substantially the form of Exhibit B (collectively, the “Notes” and individually, as a “Note”). In
such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note payable to the
order of such Bank. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon
shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one
or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to
Section 10.6, except to the extent that any such Bank or assignee subsequently returns any such
Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in
subsections (a) and (b) above.

paid on the Loans in full on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.6. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made (or converted pursuant to
Article 8) until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate
Margin for such day. Such interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September, and December in each year (each, a “Quarterly Date”) and, with respect to
the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Euro-Dollar Loan, on each date a Base
Rate Loan is so converted. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2%
plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for
each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such
Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof
and, in the case of an Interest Period of six months, the date occurring three months after the
first day of such Interest Period.

(c) Any overdue principal of, or interest on, any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest,
payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) the sum
of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of it) by dividing (x) the average rate per annum (rounded
upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which
one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Business Days, then for such other
period of time not longer than three months as the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in
Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to the Administrative Agent is
offered to the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for the applicable period
determined as provided above by (y) one minus the Reserve Percentage (or, if the circumstances
described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day) and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the
Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan at
the date such payment was due.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating
Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees to use its best efforts to furnish quotations as
contemplated by this Section. If the Administrative Agent is unable to provide a quotation, the
provisions of Section 8.1 shall apply.

Section 2.9. Method of Electing Interest Rates for Loans. (a) The Loans initially shall be
the Type of Loan specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Borrowing given pursuant to
Section 2.2. Thereafter, the Borrower shall deliver a notice (a “Notice of Interest Period
Election”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois, time) on the
third Business Day prior to (i) if such Borrowing was initially a Base Rate Borrowing, the
commencement of the first Interest Period with respect to the conversion of such Base Rate Loan
into a Euro-Dollar Loan specifying the duration of such Interest Period, or (ii) at any other time,
the last day of the current Interest Period specifying the duration of the additional Interest
Period which is to commence. Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Period
Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period.” Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower may not elect to convert any Loan into, or continue any Loan as, a
Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to any Notice of Interest Period Election if at the time such notice is
delivered an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be
effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be converted, the new Type of Loans
and, if the Loans being converted are to be Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next
succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest
Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Period Election from the Borrower pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If no Notice of
Interest Period Election is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected that such Loan be continued as a Base Rate Loan.

(d) An election by the Borrower to change or continue the rate of interest applicable to any
Borrowing of Loans pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a “Borrowing” subject to the
provisions of Section 3.2.

Section 2.10. Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject, in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, to
Section 2.13, the Borrower may, upon same day written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay
any Base Rate Loans or, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent,
prepay any Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part,
without premium or penalty, in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000,
by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of
prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the
several Banks.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank with Loans outstanding of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s
ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Borrower.

(c) Cash Collateral to Avoid Breakage. If at any time a voluntary prepayment of Loans
pursuant to Section 2.10(a) above would result in the Borrower incurring breakage costs as a result
of Euro-Dollar Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (the “Affected Loans”), then the Borrower may in its sole discretion initially deposit a
portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of the Affected
Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of the
Affected Loans not immediately prepaid) to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and shall provide for investments reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with
such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence (or occurrences) thereafter
of the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the relevant Loans (or such earlier date or
dates as shall be requested by the Borrower), to repay an aggregate principal amount of such Loans
equal to the Affected Loans not initially prepaid pursuant to this sentence. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, all amounts deposited as
cash collateral pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held for the sole benefit
of the Banks whose Loans would otherwise have been immediately prepaid with the amounts deposited
and upon the taking of any action by the Administrative Agent or the Banks pursuant to the remedial
provisions of Article 6, any amounts held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(c)
shall, subject to the requirements of applicable law, be immediately applied to repay such Loans.

Section 2.11. [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of
principal of, and interest on, the Loans (i) not later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) on
the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at
its Payment Office, and (ii) without any right to set-off, deduction or counterclaim by the
Borrower. All payments made hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds
at the place of payment. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its
ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall
be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another
calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business
Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to
any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is prepaid, converted or becomes due (pursuant to
Article 2, 6, or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans
after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.2, 2.9, or 2.10, the Borrower
shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by
it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including, without
limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties,
but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to
borrow, prepay, convert or continue, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a
certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14. Computation of Interest. Interest based on the Base Rate hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day if and only if such payment is made in
accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of Section 2.12(a)).

Section 2.15. Regulation D Compensation. Without duplication of amounts payable under
Section 2.6(c)(i), each Bank may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment
of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such
Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the
London Interbank Offered Rate then in effect for such Loan divided by (B) one minus the Reserve
Percentage over (ii) such London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of
such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which
case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at
the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three
Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five
Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the
amount then due it under this Section. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.15 are
limited as set forth in Section 8.6.

Section 2.16. Increase in Loans. Provided there exists no Default, the Borrower on behalf of
the Borrower and Guarantors may, from time to time on any Business Day after the date hereof,
without the consent of any Bank but with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), request an increase in the aggregate amount
of Loans hereunder by delivering a Loan Increase Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to
the desired effective date of such increase (the “Loan Increase”). The Loan Increase Request shall
identify one or more additional Banks (each, an “Additional Bank”) and the amount of its Loan
and/or any additional principal amount to be added to the outstanding Loan of one or more Banks
then party hereto (any such Bank, an “Increasing Bank”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein provided, no such increase shall result in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Loans being in excess of U.S. $300,000,000 without the written approval of the Required Banks. The
effective date of each Loan Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Increasing Bank and/or Additional Bank, as applicable, but shall be no later than sixty
(60) days following the Effective Date. Upon the effectiveness of a Loan Increase, each Additional
Bank (and, if applicable, each Increasing Bank) shall advance funds in the amount identified in the
applicable Loan Increase Request with respect to such Bank and any Additional Bank upon funding
such amount shall become a Bank hereunder and its amount advanced shall constitute a Loan hereunder
for all purposes hereof, accruing interest from the date of funding. It shall be a condition to
such effectiveness that no Euro-Dollar Loans be outstanding on the date of such effectiveness. The
Borrower agrees to pay any out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Loan
Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Bank shall have any obligation to
agree to provide an additional amount and no Bank’s Loan shall be increased without its written
consent thereto, and each Bank may, in its sole discretion, unconditionally and without cause,
decline to provide any such additional amount.

(d) the Administrative Agent shall have received fully executed copies of the License
Agreements.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in this Section 3.1, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding on
all parties hereto.

Section 3.2. Each Borrowing. The obligation of the Banks to make each Loan hereunder is
subject at the time of such Loan to the satisfaction of the following additional conditions:

(a) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as required by
Section 2.2;

(b) the fact that, immediately before and after such Borrowing, no Default shall have
occurred and be continuing;

(c) the fact that the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in
this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of
such Borrowing (other than representations and warranties that relate to a specific date,
which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date); and

(d) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Credit Party
shall have obtained any necessary consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations,
registrations, filings, licenses and notifications (including, if necessary, qualifying to
do business in, and qualifying under the applicable consumer laws of, each jurisdiction
where the applicable party is then doing business, or is in the process of obtaining such
qualification in each jurisdiction where the applicable party is expected to be doing
business utilizing the proceeds of such Loan) and the same shall be in full force and
effect, except where the failure to obtain such consent, qualification or other item could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Borrowing hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower
on the date of such Borrowing as to the facts specified in clauses (b), (c), and (d) of this
Section.

No Bank shall have any obligation to make a Loan hereunder at any time unless all conditions
precedent have been satisfied before or at such time. The conditions precedent are included for
the exclusive benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks. In the event that any one more
Banks makes available its Loan at the request of the Borrower notwithstanding that any one or more
of the conditions precedent thereto have not been satisfied in whole or in part, such waiver shall
not operate to waive the right of the Administrative Agent and the Banks to require strict
compliance thereafter.

Article 4

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants that:

Section 4.1. Existence and Power. Each Credit Party is a corporation, limited liability
company, partnership or other organization, duly organized and validly existing and, where
applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has all
corporate or other powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted except where the failure to do so
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.2. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution,
delivery and performance by each Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party
(i) are within the corporate or other powers of such Credit Party, (ii) have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate or other action, (iii) require no action by or in respect of, or filing
with, any governmental body, agency or officials except where the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) do not contravene, or constitute a
default under, (a) any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the articles of association,
the organizational certificate, bylaws or other constitutional documents, as applicable, of such
Credit Party or (b) any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding
upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (v) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower (or any of its directors or
officers) nor any Insured Subsidiary (or any of its directors or officers) is a party to, or
subject to, any agreement with, or specific directive or order issued by, any federal or state bank
or thrift regulatory authority which restricts the payment of dividends by any Insured Subsidiary
to the Borrower; and no action or administrative proceeding is pending or, to the Borrower’s
knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any Insured Subsidiary or any of their directors or
officers which seeks to impose any such restriction, in each case that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3. Binding Effect. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute valid
and binding agreements of the Borrower and each other Credit Party which is a party thereto, and
each Note, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute a valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Section 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of
income, retained earnings and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, and the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income,
retained earnings and cash flows for the three months then ended, copies of which have been
delivered to each of the Banks, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and their consolidated
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited
financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and to year end adjustments.

(b) Since December 31, 2009 there has been no material adverse change in the business,
financial position or operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a
whole.

(c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.4(a) there
were as of the Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and
whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a material and adverse effect on the Borrower or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. As of the Effective Date, the Borrower knows of no basis for the assertion against it or
any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not
disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.4(a) which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Borrower or
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.5. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could materially adversely affect the business,
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, or which in any manner draws into question the
validity or enforceability of any Credit Document.

Section 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable
investigation: (a) Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum
funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all
material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to
each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard
under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or
payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any
amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition
of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any
liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under
Section 4007 of ERISA.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and
with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and
has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All
material contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely
made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any material obligation in
connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The Borrower and
its Subsidiaries do not maintain or contribute to any Foreign Pension Plan the obligations with
respect to which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.7. Environmental Matters. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable
investigation: Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has obtained all material environmental,
health and safety permits, licenses and other authorizations required under all Environmental Laws
to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted except for such permits,
licenses and other authorizations the failure to obtain, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of such permits, licenses
and authorizations is in full force and effect and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in material
compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, and is also in material compliance with all other
limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations,
schedules and timetables contained in any applicable Environmental Law or in any regulation, code,
plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or
approved thereunder except for such failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, as could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. In addition, no notice,
notification, demand, request for information, citations, summons or order has been issued, no
complaint has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation or review is pending or
threatened by any governmental or other entity with respect to any alleged failure by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries to have any environmental, health or safety permit, license or other
authorization required under any Environmental Law in connection with the conduct of the business
of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any generation, treatment, storage,
recycling, transportation, discharge or disposal, or any release of any Hazardous Substance
generated or handled by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except for such matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. There have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits, tests, reviews or other
analyses conducted by or that are in the possession of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in
relation to any site or facility now or previously owned, operated or leased by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries which have not been made available to the Administrative Agent and the Banks
except for such matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal
and Canadian income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed
by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the
Borrower, adequate.

Section 4.9. Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, if any, is duly organized,
validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, and has all corporate or other organizational powers and all material governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted
except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

Section 4.10. Investment Company. The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the
meaning of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 4.11. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by the Borrower to
the Administrative Agent or any Bank will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is stated or certified. The Borrower has disclosed to the Banks
in writing any and all facts which materially and adversely affect or may affect (to the extent the
Borrower can now reasonably foresee), the business, operations or financial condition of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of the Borrower to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, including, without limitation, under Section 5.21(b) of this Agreement,
and (viii) Debt of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an amount such that, after giving pro forma

this Agreement.

relevant agency as anything other than “well capitalized.”

Section 5.17. Restricted Payments; Required Dividends. (a) Other than payments made in
accordance with the terms of subsection (b) below, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries

applicable law, rule or regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree of any governmental
authority) to take all such necessary corporate actions to declare cash dividends, payable to the
shareholder of such Subsidiary, in an aggregate amount, if any, equal to all amounts that are then
due and owing and remain outstanding after the date of payment therefor pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement.

any of its Subsidiaries shall make any Restricted Payments to any Person other than to the Borrower
or any other Credit Party.

any of its Subsidiaries to, establish, create or acquire after the Effective Date any Subsidiary;
provided that (A) the Borrower and its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall be permitted to establish or
create Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries so long as, in each case, (i) if such new Subsidiary is a Material
Subsidiary, written notice of the establishment or creation thereof is given to the Administrative
Agent promptly after such establishment or creation as required pursuant to Section 5.1(l), and
(ii) if required by Section 5.23, such new Subsidiary promptly executes a Guarantor Supplement to
become a Guarantor pursuant to Article 9 (or similar document satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent) and (B) Subsidiaries may be acquired to the extent such acquisition does not give rise to a
Default hereunder so long as the actions specified in preceding clause (A) shall be taken, and, to
the extent applicable, the Borrower complies with Section 5.21(b). In addition, each new
Subsidiary that is required to execute any Credit Document shall execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, all other relevant documentation of the type described in Section 3.1 as

Date as shown on Schedule 5.21, and in each case all amendments, restatements,
modifications, extensions, renewals, refinancings, refundings and replacements of such
Investments;

(iv) Investments consistent with the investment policy attached hereto as Schedule II,

Investments (such $75,000,000 to be determined without duplication of amounts subsequently
invested by the recipients thereof).

(b) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries may make Restricted Acquisitions so long as:

(i) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with all provisions of
this Agreement, including all financial covenants, both before and after giving effect
thereto, with such financial covenants to be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such
Restricted Acquisition had been consummated on the first day of the then most recently ended

financial performance (including Consolidated Operating EBITDA) of such acquired entity or
assets and (y) identifiable cost savings associated with providing data processing services
to such acquired entities or assets as reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent;

(ii) the total consideration paid (including equity issued and Debt assumed) in
connection with any Restricted Acquisition of a Person which as a result thereof does not
become a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower shall not exceed $125,000,000 in the

agreements, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements;

(3) encumbrances and restrictions required by law or by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Insured Subsidiary or any of their businesses;

provided that such restrictions relate solely to the property subject to such Lien;

(5) encumbrances and restrictions contained in any merger agreement or any agreement
for the sale or other disposition of an asset, including, without limitation, the capital
stock or other equity interest of a Subsidiary, provided, that such restriction is limited
to the asset that is the subject of such agreement for sale or disposition and such
disposition is made in compliance with Section 5.7;

(6) encumbrances and restrictions contained in contracts (other than relating to Debt)
entered into in the ordinary course of business that do not, in the aggregate, detract from

(including, without limitation, non-assignment provisions in leases and licenses);

(7) encumbrances and restrictions contained in agreements governing Debt permitted
under Section 5.15; and

whole or in part, provided that the encumbrances or restrictions set forth therein are not
more restrictive than those contained in the predecessor agreement, instrument or capital
stock or other equity interest.

execute this Agreement as a Guarantor (and from and after the Effective Date cause each Material
Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, as promptly as possible,
but in any event within thirty (30) days after becoming a Material Domestic Subsidiary of the
Borrower, an executed Guarantor Supplement to become a Guarantor hereunder (whereupon such
Subsidiary shall become a “Guarantor” under this Agreement)), and (b) deliver and cause each such
Subsidiary to deliver corporate resolutions, opinions of counsel, and such other corporate
documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that upon the Borrower’s
written request of and certification to the Administrative Agent that a Subsidiary is no longer a
Material Domestic Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall release such Subsidiary from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under its Guarantor Supplement; provided, further, that if
such Subsidiary subsequently qualifies as a Material Domestic Subsidiary, it shall be required to
re-execute the Guarantor Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 5.23 shall not be applicable with respect to Insured Subsidiaries, Qualified Securitization
Subsidiaries and Subsidiaries of Foreign Subsidiaries, Insured Subsidiaries and Qualified
Securitization Subsidiaries.

(together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and the Loans shall thereupon become, immediately
due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to
accelerate, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower;
provided, that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in clause 6.1(g) or 6.1(h)

Article 7

The Agent

Section 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. (a) Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.2. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from
exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the
Administrative Agent.

Section 7.3. Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent
hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any
Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower and/or any Guarantor), independent public accountants
and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.5. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Banks (or, when expressly required hereby, such different number of Banks
required to consent to or request such action or inaction) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor
any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Guarantor; (iii) the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the
Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Administrative
Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate,
statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing)
believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents
and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including
counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result
from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnities may suffer or
incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees
hereunder.

Section 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any
action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time
by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of
the Borrower if no Event of Default exists (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of the Borrower if no Event of Default
exists (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of Canada or the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

Article 8

Change in Circumstances

Section 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inaccurate or Unfair. If on, or prior to,
the first day of any Interest Period for a Euro-Dollar Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the
applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Administrative Agent in the Euro-Dollar
market for such Interest Period, or

(b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the affected Loans
advise the Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the
Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of
funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks,
whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans or
to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and
(ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Should either of the events set forth in
subclause (a) or (b) above occur, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least
two Business Days before the date of any Borrowing of Euro-Dollar Loans for which a Notice of
Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall
instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable 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 any
Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central Bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its
Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower whereupon until such Bank
notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert
outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the
judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each
Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loan if such Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Bank shall determine
that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the Effective Date, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable 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 any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with
respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is entitled to
compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.15), special deposit, insurance
assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Loans,
its Note or its obligation to make Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office)
under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be
material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that after the Effective Date, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such 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 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 capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but
for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to
time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or
its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of
which it has knowledge, occurring after the Effective Date, which will entitle such Bank to
compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not,
in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank
claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be
paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such
amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4. Taxes. (a) For the purposes of this Section 8.4, the following terms have the
following meanings:

“Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower or the applicable
Guarantor, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Bank and the
Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, receipts, capital and franchise or
similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive
office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is
located and (ii) in the case of each Bank, any United States withholding tax imposed on such
payments but only to the extent that such Bank is subject to United States withholding tax
at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement.

“Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other
excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made
pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note.

(b) Any and all payments by the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, to
or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be
made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that, if the Borrower or the
applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other
Taxes from any such payments (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the
applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or the
applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower or
the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 10.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full
amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15
days after such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed
on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of
each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only
so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with Internal Revenue Service form W-8 BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank
from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest
for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (unless such failure is
due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form
originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under
Section 8.4(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank,
which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to
Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such
steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank
pursuant to this Section, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such
additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such
Bank.

Section 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If (i) the obligation
of any Bank to make, or convert outstanding Loans to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant
to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to
its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such
Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply
to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or
converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and
principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other
Banks); and

(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate
Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar
Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into Euro-Dollar Loans
on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans
of the other Banks.

Section 8.6. Limitations on Reimbursement. (a) The Borrower shall not be required to pay to
any Bank reimbursement with regard to any costs or expenses under Section 2.15 or Article 8
incurred more than 90 days prior to the date of the relevant Bank’s demand therefore; provided that
if the event giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

(b) None of the Banks shall be permitted to pass through to the Borrower charges and costs
under Section 2.15 or Article 8 on a discriminatory basis (i.e., which are not also passed through
by such Bank to other customers of such Bank similarly situated where such customer is subject to
documents providing for such pass through).

(c) If the obligation of any Bank to make a Euro-Dollar Loan has been suspended under
Section 8.2 or 8.5 for more than three consecutive months, or any Bank has requested compensation
under Section 2.15 or 8.3, then the Borrower, provided no Default exists, shall have the right,
subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) and in accordance with Section 10.6(c), to substitute an Eligible Transferee for such
Bank. Such substitution shall result in such Eligible Transferee acquiring such Bank’s rights,
duties and obligations hereunder and assuming such Bank’s Loan hereunder in accordance with
Section 10.6.

Article 9

Performance and Payment Guaranty

Section 9.1. Unconditional and Irrevocable Guaranty. (a) The Guarantors hereby jointly and
severally, unconditionally and irrevocably undertake and agree with and for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Banks and each of their respective permitted assignees (collectively,
the “Beneficiaries”) to cause the due payment, performance and observance by the Borrower and its
assigns of all of the Obligations, terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the
part of the Borrower, to be paid, performed or observed under any Credit Document in accordance
with the terms thereof including, without limitation, any agreement of the Borrower to pay any
amounts due with respect to the Loans, under this Agreement or any other amounts due and owing
under any Credit Document together with all costs and expenses (including without limitation
reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in
enforcing its or their rights under this Article 9 (all such Obligations, terms, covenants,
conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of the Borrower to be paid, performed or
observed by the Borrower being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). In the event
that the Borrower shall fail in any manner whatsoever to pay, perform or observe any of the
Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be paid, performed or observed under such
Credit Document (after giving effect to any cure period), then each of the Guarantors will itself
jointly and severally duly pay, perform or observe, or cause to be duly paid, performed or
observed, such Guaranteed Obligation, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the
obligation of any Guarantor hereunder to pay, perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation (or to
cause the same to be paid, performed or observed) that the Administrative Agent, the Banks or any
of their permitted assignees shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any
notice to any Guarantor or to the Borrower or its successors or assigns, or have instituted any
action or proceeding against any Guarantor or the Borrower or its successors or assigns in respect
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1 the obligations of
the respective Guarantors hereunder in respect of the Borrower are expressly limited to the
Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Irrevocability. The Guarantors each agree that its obligations under this Agreement shall
be joint and several and irrevocable. In the event that under applicable law (notwithstanding the
Guarantors’ agreement regarding the joint and several and irrevocable nature of its obligations
hereunder) any Guarantor shall have the right to revoke its guaranty under this Agreement, this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as to such Guarantor until a written revocation
hereof specifically referring hereto, signed by such Guarantor, is actually received by the
Administrative Agent, delivered as provided in Section 10.1 hereof. Any such revocation shall not
affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Beneficiary to enforce their respective
rights under this Agreement with respect to (i) any Guaranteed Obligation (including any Guaranteed
Obligation that is contingent or unmatured) which arose on or prior to the date the aforementioned
revocation was received by the Administrative Agent or (ii) any other Guarantor. If the
Administrative Agent or its permitted assignees takes any action in reliance on this Agreement
after any such revocation by a Guarantor but prior to the receipt by the Administrative Agent of
said written notice, the rights of the Administrative Agent, any other Beneficiary or such
permitted assignee with respect thereto shall be the same as if such revocation had not occurred.

(c) Limitation on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery
against each Guarantor under this Article 9 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount
which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 9 void or voidable under
applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

Section 9.2. Enforcement. The Administrative Agent and its permitted assignees may proceed to
enforce the obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement without first pursuing or exhausting
any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or its permitted assignees may have against the
Borrower, any other Person or any collateral under the Credit Documents.

Section 9.3. Obligations Absolute. To the extent permitted by law, the applicable Guarantor
will perform its obligations under this Agreement regardless of any law now or hereafter in effect
in any jurisdiction affecting any of the terms of this Agreement or any document delivered in
connection with this Agreement or the rights of the Administrative Agent or its permitted assignees
with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability or the discharge or disaffirmance (by any
Person, including a trustee in bankruptcy) of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Loans, any
Credit Document or any collateral or any document, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto;

(b) any exchange, release, discharge or non-perfection of any collateral or any release
or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or other action by, or to
notify or file with, any governmental authority or regulatory body required in connection
with the performance of such obligations by the Borrower or any Guarantor; or

(d) any impossibility or impracticality of performance, illegality, force majeure, any
act of any government or any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any other
circumstance, event or happening whatsoever, whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether
similar or dissimilar to anything referred to above in this Section 9.3.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be limited by any
valuation or estimation made in connection with any proceedings involving the Borrower or any
Guarantor filed under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), whether
pursuant to Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Section thereof. Each Guarantor
further agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor
further agrees that, to the extent that a payment or payments are made by or on behalf of the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which payment or payments or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to
be repaid to the Borrower, the estate, trustee, receiver or any other party relating to the
Borrower, including, without limitation, any Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state, or federal
law, common law or equitable cause then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Guaranteed
Obligations or part thereof which had been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be
reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or
satisfaction occurred. The obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement shall not be
discharged except by performance as provided herein.

Section 9.4. Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of
acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceptance and any other notice with
respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any Credit Document and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or its permitted assignees exhaust any right or take any action against the
Borrower, any other Person or any collateral under the Credit Documents.

Section 9.5. Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise or assert any rights which it may
acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If any payment shall be made to any
Guarantor on account of any subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations
shall not have been paid and performed in full each and every amount so paid will be held in trust
for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and forthwith be paid to the appropriate Beneficiary in
accordance with this Agreement and the appropriate Credit Document, to be credited and applied to
the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent then unsatisfied, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement, as the case may be. In the
event (i) the Guarantors shall have satisfied any of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) all of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the Administrative Agent will,
at the Guarantors’ request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantors appropriate
documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind, necessary to
evidence or confirm the transfer by way of subrogation to the Guarantors of the rights of the
Beneficiaries or any permitted assignee, as the case may be, with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations to which the Guarantors shall have become entitled by way of subrogation, and
thereafter the Beneficiaries and their respective permitted assignees shall have no responsibility
to the Guarantors or any other Person with respect thereof.

Section 9.6. Survival. All covenants made by the Guarantors herein shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Banks and shall survive regardless of any
investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on the Administrative Agent’s behalf.

Section 9.7. Guarantors’ Consent to Assigns. Each Bank may assign or participate out all or
any portion of its Commitment or the Loans in accordance with Section 10.6 of this Agreement, and
each Guarantor agrees to recognize any such Assignee or Participant as a successor and assignee of
such Bank hereunder, with all rights of such Bank hereunder.

Section 9.8. Continuing Agreement. Article 9 under this Agreement is a continuing agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Borrower’s Obligations have been
satisfied in full.

Section 9.9. Entire Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the guarantee
delivered by it hereunder is delivered free of any conditions and no representations have been made
to any Guarantor affecting the liability of such Guarantor under its guarantee hereunder. Each
Guarantor confirms and agrees that the guarantee contained herein is in addition to and not in
substitution for any other guarantee held or which may hereafter be held by the Administrative
Agent or any Bank. The rights, remedies and benefits in this Article 9 are cumulative and not in
substitution for or exclusive of any other rights or remedies or benefits which the Administrative
Agent or the Banks may otherwise have.

Section 9.10. Application. All monies received by the Administrative Agent or the Banks under
the guarantee contained in this Article 9 may be applied against such part or parts of the
Guaranteed Obligations as the Administrative Agent and the Banks may see fit and they shall at all
times and from time to time have the right to change any appropriation of monies received by it or
them and to reapply the same against any other part or parts of the Guaranteed Obligations as it or
they may see fit, notwithstanding any previous application howsoever made.

Article 10

Miscellaneous

Section 10.1. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder
shall be in writing (including bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be
given to such party: (a) in the case of a Credit Party, at its address or facsimile number set
forth on the signature pages hereof, (b) in the case of any Bank or the Administrative Agent, at
its address or facsimile number set forth on the applicable Administrative Questionnaire or (c) in
the case of any party, such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify
for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request
or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted
to the facsimile number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is received, (ii) if
given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage
prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address
specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Administrative Agent under Article 2 or
Article 8 shall not be effective until received.

Section 10.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein
provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 10.3. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any
Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including (without duplication) the
fees and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel, in connection
with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings
resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their respective
affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an
“Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be
designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided, that no Indemnitee shall have
the right to be indemnified hereunder for (i) such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any loss asserted by another
Indemnitee.

Section 10.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right
of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with
respect to any Note held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other
adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest
with respect to the Notes held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks in accordance with their
Percentages; provided, that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise
any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise
to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. Each
Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such
participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

Section 10.5. Amendment or Waiver, etc. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document
nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such
change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties
party thereto and the Required Banks, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or
termination shall, (i) without the consent of each affected Bank, extend any scheduled maturity of
any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate of interest or fees or extend the time of payment of interest
or fees, or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash) (provided
that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to
Section 2.14 shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or any fees for purposes of
this clause (i)) or (ii) without the consent of each Bank, (a) release a Guarantor from its
Guaranty of the Obligations of the Borrower (except in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary
which is a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or as otherwise provided in
Section 5.23), (b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.5, (c) reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks, (d) amend or modify any provision of
Section 10.6 to add any additional consent requirements necessary to effect any assignment or
participation thereunder or (e) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such change, waiver,
discharge or termination shall (y) increase the Commitment or outstanding Loans of any Bank over
the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Bank (it being understood that
waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, or Defaults shall not constitute an
increase of the Commitment or outstanding Loans of any Bank), or (z) without the consent of the
Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 7 or any other provision as
the same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent. The Banks and Credit
Parties agree that the exercise by the Borrower of its option to increase the amount of the
outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 2.16 is not an amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document.

Section 10.6. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,
except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of their
respective rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event
of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the
performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a
participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility
to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the
extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note
in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the
participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a
waiver of any Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an
increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the
participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment
or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case
of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of
the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the
participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined
as if such Bank had not sold such participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall,
to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8
with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted
by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the
extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) Any Bank may (A) assign all or any portion of its outstanding Loans hereunder to (i) its
parent company and/or any affiliate of such Bank which is at least 50% owned by such Bank or its
parent company, (ii) one or more then existing Banks or (iii) in the case of a then existing Bank
that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed
or advised by the same investment advisor of such Bank or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor or (B) assign all, or, if less than all, a portion equal to at least U.S. $5,000,000 (or
such lesser amount as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, the Borrower) of its Loans hereunder to any Eligible Transferee, which
assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Bank by execution of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement, provided that, (i)  upon the surrender of the Note, if any, of the assigning
Bank (or, upon such assigning Bank’s indemnifying the Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a
customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such
assignee and to the assigning Bank upon the request of such assignee or assigning Bank, such new
Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.4 (with appropriate modifications),
(ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment to
an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (B) above (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), (iii) so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the consent of the
Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to
clause (B) above (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) the
Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning Bank or
assignee, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of U.S. $3,500, which fee shall not be
subject to reimbursement from the Borrower unless such assignment shall be at the request of the
Borrower to replace the assigning Bank, and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective
until recorded by the Administrative Agent, which recordation shall be promptly made. To the
extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c), the assigning Bank shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments. At the time of each assignment
pursuant to this Section 10.6(c) to a Person which is not already a Bank hereunder and which is not
a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal
income tax purposes, the respective assignee Bank shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so,
provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms described in Section 8.4(d).

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and
its Note, if any, to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank
from its obligations hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”)
may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time
to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to
the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to
make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to
make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by
such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity
or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the
Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement
shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of
any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws
of the United States or any State thereof relating to claims, if any, under this Agreement. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (e), any SPC may
(i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in
any Loans to the Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and
Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC
to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any
non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This section may
not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

(f) No assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the
Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4
requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances
or (iii) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(g) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at the Payment Office a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time
(the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 10.7. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each
of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in
Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this
Agreement.

Section 10.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The
Borrower and Guarantors hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and of any Illinois State court sitting in the
City of Chicago for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower and Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 10.9. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts hereof signed by each of
the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have
been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic,
facsimile or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by
such party) and each of the other conditions specified in Section 3.1 have been satisfied.

Section 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks hereby
irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.11. Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply
with all applicable usury laws, whether now existing or hereafter enacted. Accordingly,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any
other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to indebtedness of the
Borrower to the Banks, in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the
maturity of indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks or otherwise, shall the interest contracted
for, charged or received by any Bank exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.
If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement, the other
Credit Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining
to indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks, at the time performance of such provision shall be
due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the
obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such
circumstances any Bank shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by
applicable law under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other document evidencing,
securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks or
otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful amount, such amount that would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in connection
with this Agreement or on account of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks, and not
to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal
owing in connection with this Agreement and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded
to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Banks, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum
nonusurious rate permitted under applicable law, the Borrower and the Banks shall, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee
or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof,
(c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of
such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate interest between
portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate
greater than that permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time
interest on any of the Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the maximum rate permissible under
applicable law rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable
rate becomes less than the maximum rate permissible under applicable law, the rate of interest
payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the maximum rate permissible under applicable
law until the Banks have received the amount of interest which such Banks would have received
during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the
maximum rate permissible under applicable law during such period. The terms and provisions of this
paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents.

Section 10.12. [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 10.13. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby
notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain,
verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 10.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such
Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the
extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or
under any other Credit Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.14 by such
disclosing party, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower,
(h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section 10.14 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their
directors, officers, employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors,
(i) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating
relating to the Loans or Commitments hereunder, or (j) to entities which compile and publish
information about the syndicated loan market, provided that only basic information about the
pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this
subsection (j). For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses including any information obtained pursuant to the inspection rights contained in
Section 5.6, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any
Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries.
