Borrowing”) or by Type (e.g. a “Eurocurrency Borrowing”) or by Class and Type (e.g., a
“Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing”).

          SECTION 1.03. Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally
to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any
pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”,
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The
word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the
context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other
document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as
from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such
amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person
shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”,
“hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this
Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to
Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of,
and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall be
construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible
assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

          SECTION 1.04. Accounting Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in
effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrowers notify the Administrative Agent
that the Borrowers request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any
change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of
such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the Required Lenders
request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such
notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such
provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before
such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such
provision amended in accordance herewith.

          SECTION 1.05. Foreign Currency Calculations. (a) For purposes of determining the
Dollar Equivalent of any Loan denominated in Pesos or any related amount, the Administrative Agent
shall determine the Exchange Rate as of the applicable Exchange Rate Date with respect to Pesos in
which any requested or outstanding Loan is denominated and shall apply such Exchange Rates to
determine such amount (in each case after giving effect to any Loan to be made or repaid on or
prior to the applicable date for such calculation).

          (b) For purposes of any determination hereunder, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed
to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than Dollars shall be translated into Dollars at
the appropriate currency Exchange Rate; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall arise as
a result of any limitation set forth in Dollars in Section 6.02 being exceeded solely as a result
of changes in Exchange Rates from those rates applicable at the time or times Indebtedness or Liens
were initially consummated in reliance on the exceptions under such Sections. For purposes of any
determination under Section 6.03, the amount of each investment, asset disposition or other
applicable transaction denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be translated into
Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate. Such Exchange Rates shall be determined in good faith by
the Borrowers.

ARTICLE II

The Credits

          SECTION 2.01. Commitments.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender agrees to make
Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and Pesos (in the case of the Canadian Borrower) and Dollars
only (in the case of the US Borrower) to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability
Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the Dollar Equivalent of (a) such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment
or (b) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments.
Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers
may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender agrees to make a
Term Loan denominated in Dollars to the US Borrower on the Effective Date in a principal amount
equal to its Term Commitment. Once repaid Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

          SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) (i) Each Term Loan shall be made as part of
a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans made by the Term Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Term Commitments and (ii) each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing
consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made
by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the
Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s
failure to make Loans as required.

19

 

          (b) Subject to Section 2.12, (i) each Loan denominated in Dollars shall be a ABR Loan or a
Eurocurrency Loan as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Loan
denominated in Pesos shall be a Eurocurrency Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any
Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make
such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the
Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than
$1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that a
ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the
Revolving Commitment. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time;
provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 6 Eurocurrency Borrowings
outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowings which are denominated in Pesos may be made
in amounts and increments in Pesos satisfactory to the Revolving Lenders.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled
to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with
respect thereto would end after the Applicable Maturity Date.

          SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing
the Applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at the Applicable Lending Office of
such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., Local Time, two Business Days before the date of the proposed Revolving Borrowing or
(b) in the case of a ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of
the proposed Revolving Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and
shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written
Borrowing Request in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and signed by the
Applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) The identity of the Applicable Borrower;

     (ii) the amount of the requested Revolving Borrowing;

     (iii) the currency (which may be Dollars or Pesos, as applicable) in which such
Revolving Borrowing is to be denominated;

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

     (v) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Revolving
Borrowing is to be a ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

20

 

     (vi) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term
“Interest Period”; and

     (vii) the location and number of the Applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are
to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a
ABR Borrowing, unless such Borrowing is denominated in Pesos, in which case such Borrowing shall be
a Eurocurrency Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested
Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance
with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of
the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.04. Request for Term Loan Borrowing. The US Borrower hereby requests the
Term Loan be made to the US Borrower as an Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of 3 months to
be disbursed to an account or accounts separately identified to the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made
by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by
12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available
to the Applicable Borrower by promptly sending a wire transfer of the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Applicable Borrower designated by the Applicable Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.04 or in the applicable Borrowing Request.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to
pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Applicable
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in
the case of the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender
pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.05(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender
from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any
Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

21

 

          SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type
specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Applicable
Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings
denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing,
may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect
different options with respect to different portions of an affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Loan.

          (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Applicable Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent at the Applicable Lending Office of such election by telephone by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a
Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such
election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Applicable
Borrower.

          (c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof
to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified
pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

     (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency
Borrowing; and

     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month’s duration.

          (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall
advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting
Borrowing.

22

 

          (e) If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a
Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless
such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing
shall be converted to a ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in Pesos, in which case
such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one
month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary
provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event
of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars
shall be converted to a ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and
(iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Pesos shall be continued
as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

          SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless
previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

          (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving
Commitments without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.14); provided that
(i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple
of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the
Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in
accordance with Section 2.09, the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving
Commitments.

          (c) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to
the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the
Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section
shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be
permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitments.

          SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby
unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving
Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Maturity Date.
The US Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Term Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans in the amounts and on the

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time
to time hereunder.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount
of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Any Lender may request that any Loan made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory
note payable to the order of such Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (in the case
of a Term Loan) or Exhibit D hereto (in the case of a Revolving Loan). Thereafter, the Loan
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by a
promissory note in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

          (f) If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Revolving
Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in the amount of such
excess.

          (g) The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent of each Revolving Loan on
each Exchange Rate Date. If at any time the sum of such amounts exceeds 105% of the total Revolving
Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in the amount of such
excess.

          SECTION 2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or

24

 

penalty (except as described in Section 2.14), subject to prior notice in accordance with
paragraph (b) of this Section.

          (b) The Applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing,
not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in
the case of prepayment of a ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Each partial prepayment of
any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in such prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11.

          SECTION 2.10. Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its
own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 2.11. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or
other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity,
upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
judgment, at the election of the Required Lenders at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in
the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate
applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be
payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a
prepayment of a ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of
such conversion.

          (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that
interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365

25

 

days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base
Rate or Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the definitions of those terms in Section 1.01, and such determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

          SECTION 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period; or

     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted
Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in
such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by
telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or
continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) such
Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, as a ABR Borrowing or (B) if such
Borrowing is denominated in Pesos, as a Borrowing in respect of which the rate to apply is an
interest rate to include (1) the Applicable Rate for Eurocurrency Borrowings and (2) the rate which
expresses as a percentage rate per annum the cost to the Lenders of funding the applicable Loans
from whatever source it may reasonably select, and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is
requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at the rate
described under (ii)(B) above.

          SECTION 2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If the effect of any Change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency
Rate); or

     (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional

26

 

amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.

          (b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender,
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers
will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender holding company for any such reduction suffered.

          (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such
Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.

          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 30 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

          SECTION 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(b) and is
revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers
pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for
the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have
been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue,
for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of
interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits in
the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency
market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is
entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the

27

 

Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (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) the Administrative Agent or any Lender (as the case may
be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by
or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than
any such penalties, interest or expenses paid or payable as a result of the failure of such Lender
to comply with applicable laws), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or by the
Administrative Agent on its on behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate.

          (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion and in good
faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional

28

 

amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under
this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided,
that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the
amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the
Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The
Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or
counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for
purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Floor 19, Chicago, Illinois 60603. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the
appropriate recipient promptly following receipt therefor. If any payment hereunder shall be due
on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable
for the period of such extension. All payments (other than of principal) hereunder shall be made
in Dollars. All payments of the principal amount of any Loan hereunder shall be made in the
currency in which such Loan was made.

          (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative
Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall
be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such
parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

          (c) To effectuate any payment due from it under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents,
the US Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to initiate debit entries to its Account
Number 934753864 at the Administrative Agent and to debit the same to such account. This
authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full force and effect until the
Administrative Agent has received written notification of its termination in such time and in such
manner as to afford the Administrative Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The US
Borrower represents that it is and will be the owner of all funds in such account. The US Borrower
acknowledges: (1) that such debit entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result
in the Administrative Agent’s refusal to honor items drawn on such account

29

 

until adequate deposits are made to such account; (2) that the Administrative Agent is under
no duty or obligation to initiate any debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not
made because the above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available balance, or
otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.

          (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such
Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other
Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to
which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and
agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of
set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct creditor of each Borrower in the amount of such participation.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.

          (f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05(b), 2.16(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such
Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

          SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender

30

 

pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and
the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the
Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal
to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

          Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

          SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Credit Parties and its Subsidiaries
is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization to the extent applicable, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do
business in, and is in good standing (to the extent applicable) in, every jurisdiction where such
qualification is required.

          SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each of the
Credit Parties’ corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if
required, stockholder action. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and

31

 

delivered by each Credit Party party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of each such Credit Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.

          SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect,
(b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws, memorandum or
articles of association or other organizational documents of any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a
default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be
made by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

          SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Borrowers
have heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent the Parent’s, DTN’s and the Canadian
Borrower’s consolidated balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows
(i) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, reported on by Deloitte and Touche,
independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, certified by the applicable entity’s chief financial officer. In
the case of the U.S. Borrower, the Borrowers have heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent
such financial statements for each of the corporations that were merged into the U.S. Borrower on
April 1 and June 30, 2010. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end
audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause
(ii) above.

          (b) Since December 31, 2009, no event, change, development, condition or circumstance has
occurred which, individually or in the aggregate (with any other events, changes, developments,
conditions or circumstances) has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has
good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its
business, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its
business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

          (b) Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its
business, and the use thereof by such Credit Party and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the
rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

32

 

          SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits
or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the
knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against or affecting any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and
that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

          (b) Except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither any Credit Party nor any of
its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or
comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has
become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect
to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

          SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Credit Party and each of its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with (i) the charter, by-laws, memorandum or articles of association
or other organizational documents applicable to it, (ii) all laws, regulations and orders of any
Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and (iii) all indentures, agreements and
other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default has occurred and is continuing.

          SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

          SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed
or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or
caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Credit Party or such
Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair
market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial
statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the
assets of all such underfunded Plans.

33

 

          SECTION 3.11. Foreign Pension Plan. Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in
substantial compliance with its terms and in substantial compliance with the requirements of any
and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders (including all funding
requirements and the respective requirements of the governing documents for each such Foreign
Pension Plan) and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory
authorities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have
been timely made. Neither any Credit Party nor any Subsidiary has incurred any material obligation
in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan. The present
value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan,
determined as of the end of the Parent’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial
assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such
Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. No actions or proceedings have been
taken or instituted to terminate or wind-up a Foreign Pension Plan.

          SECTION 3.12. Solvency. Each of the Credit Parties is and, upon the making of any
Loan will be, Solvent.

          SECTION 3.13. Disclosure. The Borrowers have disclosed to the Lenders all
agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which they or any of their
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the other reports,
financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent
only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable at the time.

          For the avoidance of doubt, the representations and warranties contained in this Article III
are made solely by the Borrowers.

ARTICLE IV

Affirmative Covenants

          Until the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal of and interest on
each Loan and all fees payable hereunder shall have been paid in full, the Borrowers covenant and

condition and results of operations of each such entity and its consolidated Subsidiaries on
a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied;

     (d) promptly following any request therefor, such other information regarding the
operations, business affairs and financial condition of the Credit Parties or any
Subsidiary, or compliance with the terms of the Credit Documents, as the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.

          SECTION 5.02. Notices of Material Events. The Borrowers will furnish to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice of the following:

     (a) the occurrence of any Default;

36

 

     (b) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any

     (c) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that, alone or together with any other ERISA
Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of any
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount exceeding $5,000,000; and

     (d) any other development that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result
in, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a statement of a Financial Officer

each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and
keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and
franchises material to the conduct of its business; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.02.

          SECTION 5.04. Payment of Obligations. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations, including Tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could result in
a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a)
the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b)
such Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto
in accordance with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not

its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (b)

businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

          SECTION 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. Each Borrower will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and

activities. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any
representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice,
to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and
to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all
at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.

37

 

          SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority
applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only for
working capital and general corporate purposes, including but not limited to Permitted Investments.
No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose
that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X.

Solely for purposes of determining compliance with the affirmative covenants in Sections 5.03
through 5.07 above, each reference to “Borrower” or “Borrowers” in such Sections (or the defined
terms used therein) shall be deemed to include DTN.

ARTICLE VI

Negative Covenants

          Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each
Loan and all fees payable hereunder have been paid in full, the Borrowers covenant and agree with

41

 

          (b) The Borrowers will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, repay any

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

          Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank 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 other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

          The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of

44

 

whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or a Lender,
and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection
herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or
conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of
this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

          The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

          The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

          Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the
Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the

45

 

right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which
shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative
Agent.

          Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

          SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications

          (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by

that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in
their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may
be limited to particular notices or communications.

          (c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other
communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

          SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless
of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default
at the time.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required
Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any
interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(b) or (c) in a manner that would
alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each
Lender, (v) release any

47

 

Guarantor from its obligations under the Credit Documents or (vi) change any of the provisions
of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make
any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

          SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i)
all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent,
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, preparation and
administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and
(ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including
all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans.

          (b) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and each Related Party of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or
any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.

          (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the
Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,

claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

          (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days
after written demand therefor.

          SECTION 9.04. 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 permitted hereby except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may at any time sell, assign or transfer one or more interests or participations in
all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents
to one or more purchasers whether or not related to any Lender except in accordance with this
Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the
prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

          (A) the Borrowers, provided that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required
for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

          (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender
with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

     (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

          (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of
any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the

49

 

Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the
Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

          (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of
all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided
that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part
of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments
or Loans and provided further that Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B) shall not be construed to
prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans.

          (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and

          (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit
Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Borrowers and their Affiliates, the Credit Parties and their Related
Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such
information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable
laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:

          “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in
making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an
Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender.

     (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

50

 

     (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire
(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment
required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register;
provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.16(d) or 9.03(c),
the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have
been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be
effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.

          (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or
instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as
if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

51

 

     (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
2.13 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to
the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be
a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15
unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(e) as
though it were a Lender.

          (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall
not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection
with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so
long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14,
2.15 and 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of
the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or email (by .pdf or other
similar file) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

52

 

          SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against
any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held
by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such
Lender may have.

          SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York
County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents against any
Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (c) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. In addition, the Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints the US Borrower as its agent for service of process in any action or proceeding relating
to the Credit Documents and agrees that any service upon the US Borrower

53

 

shall be as effective as if made upon it personally. Nothing in this Agreement will affect
the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.

          SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
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 (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will 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, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) to any assignee of or participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement,
(g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrowers relating to any Borrower or its business, other than any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the
Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.

          SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively

54

 

the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”)
which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan
in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to
the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the
interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by
such Lender.

          SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender 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 Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining
judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into
another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so,
that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures
in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the
Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

          (b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any
holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the
currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable
Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in
accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less
than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers
agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable
Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.15 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder

          SECTION 9.16. Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada),
(i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of
360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when
expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days
or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year
in which such annual rate is to be ascertained, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be;
(ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any

55

 

interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this
Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

Effective Date set forth below and is entered into by and between [Insert name of Assignor] (the
