On December 21, 2007, Belden Inc., formerly known as Belden CDT Inc. (“we” or the “Company”),

Belden CDT Networking, Inc., Nordx/CDT Corp., Thermax/CDT, Inc., Belden Holdings, Inc., Belden
Technologies, Inc., Belden 1993 Inc. (formerly known as Belden Inc.) and CDT International Holdings
Inc., as Guarantors, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and on behalf
of the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Second Amendment increases the
borrowing availability under the Company’s revolving credit line of credit from $225 million to
$350 million and allows for further increases in the Lenders’ commitment at the Company’s request
to permit additional revolving loans or term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million.
There are procedures, including limitations on the timing and increments, associated with such a
further commitment increase request. The Second Amendment also revised, deleted and added other
terms. The foregoing is only a summary of the certain terms and conditions of the Second Amendment
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit
