$10,000,000 U.S. CREDIT AGREEMENT THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 25th day of October, 2004, by and among Euronet Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holding Company Borrower"), as Borrower Agent and as a Borrower, PaySpot, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Euronet USA, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, Prepaid Concepts, Inc., a California corporation, Call Processing, Inc., a Texas corporation and each other U.S. Subsidiary of any Borrower which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof (each a "Borrower", and collectively, the "Borrowers"), and Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association ("Bank of America"), as agent (in such capacity, the "Agent") and as a lender (and together with the other financial institutions from time to time party hereto, as lenders, each a "Lender" and collectively the "Lenders"). WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Agent arrange a two-year revolving line of credit with the Lenders in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000); and WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Lenders make available, on the request of any Borrower, letters of credit to be applied against the amount available under the revolving line of credit; and WHEREAS, as of the date hereof e-pay Holdings Limited, a limited liability company incorporated in England and Wales, and Delta Euronet GmbH, a German company with limited liability, each an indirect subsidiary of the Holding Company Borrower (collectively the "Euro Borrowers") are entering into a $30,000,000 Euro/GBP Credit Agreement (the "Euro Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, as Agent and as a lender thereunder; and WHEREAS, in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to make such loans and issue such letters of credit, certain of the Borrowers have agreed to grant first priority security interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in 100% of the equity interests in any and all U.S. Subsidiaries to secure the obligations of the Borrowers as provided herein; and WHEREAS, in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to make such loans and issue such letters of credit, the Holding Company Borrower has agreed to grant first priority security interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in 65% of the equity interests in EFT Services Holdings B.V. to secure the obligations of the Borrowers as provided herein; and WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make such credit and loans available to the Borrowers upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 DEFINITIONS Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined herein. Certain other terms are defined in Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. ARTICLE 2 REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT 2.1 Agreement to Lend. (a) Each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans (each a "Revolving Loan") to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Closing Date through the first Business Day before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in such amounts as each Borrower shall request as provided in Section 4.8 hereof not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment and, to the extent such Lender is an L/C Issuer, to treat each draw under any Letter of Credit as a Revolving Loan as provided in Section 3.1 below; provided, however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to make a requested Revolving Loan if, (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) after the making of such Revolving Loan, (a) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit, would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments or (b) a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing. Except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter, the Borrowers may terminate or reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment at any time by giving notice to the Lender as provided in Section 4.8 below, provided that any partial reduction shall be in an amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Revolving Loans shall be used to pay existing indebtedness to the Bank of America, to redeem the Senior Notes, for working capital, for Acquisitions and for other corporate or business purposes. (b) If the aggregate principal indebtedness of the Borrowers under the Revolving Notes, plus the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit, at any time exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall immediately, without demand or notice, pay principal under the Revolving Notes so that the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder, plus the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit, does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that in the case of Letters of Credit, such amount shall be held as cash collateral for undrawn Letters of Credit, and shall promptly be returned to the appropriate Borrower if Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such overadvance expire undrawn. -2-
(c) The Borrowers' obligations under this Agreement, the Revolv- ing Notes and any other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several among all of the Borrowers. 2.2 Revolving Note. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by and repaid in accordance with Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers in favor of each Lender, in the form of Exhibit 2.2 hereto, dated as of the Closing Date or, with respect to Revolving Notes issued to a financial institution that becomes a Lender subsequent to the Closing Date, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender, and each Revolving Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender. Such note and any and all amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals, reaffirmations, restatements, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor are herein referred to as the "Revolving Notes". Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Notes outstanding from time to time at a rate or rates determined as provided in Section 4.3 below. The Revolving Notes shall be paid in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. ARTICLE 3 LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITIES 3.1 The Letter of Credit Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and condi- tions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 3.1, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit, would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender's Commitment. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. (b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: -3-
(i) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, except for those Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 3.1 (the aggregate undrawn amount of which shall not exceed $900,000), unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or (ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, except for those Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 3.1 (the aggregate undrawn amount of which shall not exceed $900,000), unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date. (c) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer; (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $50,000; (iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Euros; (v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or (vi) a default of any Lender's obligations to fund exists or any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's risk with respect to such Lender. -4-
(d) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. (e) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (f) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent" as used in Article 12 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 3.2 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of a Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a responsible officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m, Kansas City, Missouri time. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the requesting Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Agent may require. (b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the requesting Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Agent or any Loan Party, at least one -5-
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 6 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the requesting Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit. (c) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the requesting Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 3.3 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrowers and the Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m., Kansas City, Missouri time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in herein for the principal amount of Prime Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than the delivery of a Loan Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. (b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.3(a) make funds available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent's principal office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., Kansas City, Missouri time on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer. (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Article 6 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to -6-
have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender's payment to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.3. (d) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 3.3 to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer. (e) Each Lender's obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 3.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3 is subject to the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. (f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 by the time specified in Section 3.3(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 3.4 Repayment of Participations. (a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 3.3, if the Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Agent. -7-
(b) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.3(a) is required to be returned under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 3.5 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrowers or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or (e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The requesting Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the requesting Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the requesting Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall be -8-
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 3.6 Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisers and agents (collectively the "Related Parties") nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 3.5; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 3.7 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then aggregate outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations. For purposes of this Section 3.3, "Cash Collateralize" shall mean to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances ("Cash Collateral") pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). -9-
Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing Cash Collateral Account at Bank of America. 3.8 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the requesting Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. 3.9 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender fees with respect to the Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fee Letter (the "Letter of Credit Fee"). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower Agent, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 3.10 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control. 3.11 Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers' business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries. 3.12 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time. ARTICLE 4 DISBURSEMENTS; INTEREST; PAYMENTS 4.1 Types of Loans. The Loans made on each Disbursement Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans (each being referred to as a "type" of Loan) as specified in the applicable Loan Request given by a Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of a Borrower in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof, and the Borrowers may convert Loans of one type -10-
into Loans of the other type or continue Loans of one type as Loans of the same type, at any time or from time to time by a Loan Request given in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof, provided that if any LIBOR Rate Loan is converted on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrowers shall pay all applicable fees and amounts described in Section 5.2 below. 4.2 Loan Disbursement Procedures. (a) Loans shall be disbursed by the Agent upon request by any Borrower or Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower from time to time on or after the Closing Date, in such amounts as provided in Section 4.7 below or as provided in Section 3.1 above, subject to the limitations on the Lenders' obligations to make Loans as set forth in Section 2.1 above. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow Revolving Loans at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. (b) Each Loan Request shall be delivered to the Agent in writing or by telex or facsimile transmission in the manner provided in Section 13.1 hereof, or as otherwise agreed by the Agent, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.8. The Agent may rely and act upon any such Loan Request which is received from the Borrower Agent or any other person believed by the Agent in good faith to be authorized to make such request on behalf of any Borrower. The Agent shall record in its records all Loans made by the Lenders to any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and all payments made on the Loans. 4.3 Interest. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan at the following rates per annum: (i) Floating Rate Option. During any period while such Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus one half percent (0.50%). The rate of interest applicable to Prime Rate Loans shall change as and when the Prime Rate changes. (ii) Fixed Rate Option. The Borrowers may elect, in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof, to have a specified portion of the Revolving Loan bear interest from time to time at a fixed rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect on the Disbursement Date, the date of conversion or the date of continuation, as applicable, as adjusted as provided in this Agreement. (iii) Applicable Margin. The "Applicable Margin" will be three percent (3.0%) for Libor Rate Loans from the date of this Agreement -11-
to and including the six month anniversary of the Availability Date. Thereafter, the "Applicable Margin" will be calculated and adjusted, as shown below, on the first day of the month following the receipt by the Agent of each quarterly Compliance Certificate; any change in the "Applicable Margin" shall be effective with respect to any Revolving Loans on or after each such date. The interest rate (other than adjustments to the Applicable Margin as provided herein) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan shall not change during any Interest Period. On and after the six month anniversary of the Availability Date, the "Applicable Margin" will be as follows: The Applicable If the Euronet Entities' Consolidated Margin for Libor Funded Debt / EBITDA Ratio is Rate Loans shall be greater than 1.50:1.00 3.00% less than or equal to 1.50:1.00, but 2.75% greater than 1.25:1.00 less than or equal to 1.25:1.00, but 2.50% greater than 1.00:1.00 less than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 2.25% (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a) above, the Borrowers shall pay interest at the Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any interest or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Revolving Notes (i) that is not paid in full when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on and including the due date thereof until the same is paid in full and (ii) upon and during the continuance of any failure to comply with or violation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement as shown on and as of the last day of a fiscal quarter as reflected on any Compliance Certificate. (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Prime Rate Loan, on the last day of each calendar quarter, and (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor; provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable, to the extent applicable, from time to time on demand of the Agent. (d) The Agent shall, as part of its interest statements, notify the Borrower Agent of any change in the Prime Rate or the LIBOR Rates in effect and shall, on the request of the Borrower Agent at any time, notify the Borrower Agent of the LIBOR Rates then in effect. (e) In the event that a Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrowers fails to select the type of Loan or the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in Section 4.8, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if -12-
outstanding as a Prime Rate Loan) will remain as, or will be made as, a Prime Rate Loan. (f) The amount of all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. Interest on any Loan shall be computed for the period commencing on and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan is paid in full; provided, however, that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Loan. 4.4 Optional and Mandatory Payments. The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter), subject to giving the Agent prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, provided that (i) each such partial prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) with respect to Prime Rate Loan and Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (ii) if any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, it may be prepaid only upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Agent and the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent any applicable fees and amounts described in Section 5.2(a) below. Amounts prepaid in respect of Loans under this Section 4.4 may be re-borrowed subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Borrowers shall make mandatory principal payments on the Loans as provided in Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.2 above. 4.5 Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 4.8 below, all payments of principal, interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items payable by the Borrowers hereunder and under the Revolving Notes shall be made in U.S. dollars and shall be credited on the date of receipt by the Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders if received by the Agent at its principal office in immediately available funds, prior to 1:00 p.m., (Kansas City, Missouri) time, on a Business Day. Payments made in funds which are not immediately available shall be credited only when the funds are collected by the Agent, and payments received (whether from a Borrower in immediately available funds or through the collection of funds which were not immediately available at the time payment was tendered by a Borrower) after 1:00 p.m., Kansas City time will be credited on the next Business Day. The Agent reserves the right to apply all payments received by it from a Borrower and designated or authorized to be applied to the Revolving Notes first to any Fees and other charges then due to the Agent or the Lenders, then to accrued interest on such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis and then to reduction of the principal balance of such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis , or such other order as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The Agent shall also record in its records, in accordance with customary accounting practice, all interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items properly chargeable to the Borrowers with respect to the Loans, all payments received by the Agent for application to the Obligations, and all other appropriate debits and credits. The Agent's records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of Obligations outstanding from time to time. All payments -13-
received by the Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance with this Section 4.5, subject to the rights of offset that Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents. (b) (i) Each Obligor shall make all payments by it required hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. (ii) The Borrower Agent shall promptly, upon any Obligor becoming aware that an Obligor has had or will have to make a Tax Deduction (or that there has been or will be a change in the rate at which or the basis on which any Tax Deduction has to be made), notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent upon becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such a notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower Agent and the applicable Obligor. (iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment in respect of which the Tax Deduction is required to be made shall be increased to the amount which (after the Tax Deduction) will leave an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. Provided, however, that such Obligor shall not be required to gross up payments to an Agent or Lenders domiciled or resident in a country other than the United States. (c) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrowers are residents for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrowers are resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the -14-
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 4.6 Direct Debit and Pre-Billing. (a) Each Borrower agrees that Agent will debit deposit account number 004162550601 or such other of the Borrowers' accounts with the Agent as designated in writing by a Borrower or the Borrower Agent (the "Designated Account") on the date each payment of principal, interest and all other Obligations, including the fees described in Section 5.1 and the fees, amounts and costs described in Section 5.2, become due (the "Due Date"). If the Due Date is not a Business Day, the Designated Account will be debited on the next Business Day. (b) Approximately ten (10) days prior to each Due Date, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and one (1) day prior to each Due Date, with respect to Prime Rate Loans, Agent will mail to the Holding Company Borrower at the notice address set forth in Section 13.1 below a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the "Billed Amount"). The calculation will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. (c) Agent will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual amount due on that Due Date (the "Accrued Amount"). If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as follows: -15-
(i) If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrowers will not be in default and an Event of Default will not occur by reason of any such discrepancy. (ii) If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy. Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. Agent will not pay the Borrowers interest on any overpayment. (d) The Borrowers will maintain sufficient funds in the Desig- nated Account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date Agent enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, the debit will be reversed. 4.7 Minimum Amounts. Each borrowing or conversion into any Prime Rate Loan shall be in an amount of at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or a multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof, and each borrowing, conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or a multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess thereof. 4.8 Certain Requests and Notices. (a) The Borrowers or the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrowers will request borrowings and give notice to the Agent of all terminations or reductions of the Commitment or conversions, continuations and prepayments of Loans and duration of Interest Periods substantially in the form of Exhibits 4.8-A and 4.8-B hereto, as applicable (each a "Loan Request"). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time (i) on the Business Day prior to the effective date of the requested termination or reduction of the Commitment, (ii) on the same day if it is a notice of a borrowing or prepayment of a Prime Rate Loan (except that if such date is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day), or (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested effective date for a borrowing or prepayment of, conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan or any selection of an Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan. Any such Loan Request for a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall specify, (i) the amount of principal which shall comprise the LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the date on which the rate is to become effective, and (iii) the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan. For purposes of calculating the number of Business Days, the date the notice is received shall be included if received not later than 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time and excluded if received after 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time. (b) Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Agent of a Loan Request for a borrowing as provided in Section 4.8(a) (except in the case of a deemed request by a Borrower for a Revolving Loan as provided herein, in which event -16-
no Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolving Credit Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Revolver Loan that is properly requested by such Borrower or the Borrowing Agent on behalf of such Borrower and that such Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Loan Request (or deemed request for a Borrowing), by 1:00 p.m. Kansas City time on the proposed funding date (in the case of Prime Rate Loans) or by 3:00 p.m. Kansas City time at least 2 Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans). Each Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Revolving Loan requested or deemed requested by such Borrower at Agent's designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. Kansas City time on the date of funding of such Revolving Loan, unless Agent's notice to the Lenders is received after 1:00 p.m. Kansas City time on the proposed funding date of a Prime Rate Loan, in which event the Lenders shall deposit with Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the requested Revolving Loan on or before 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolving Loans received by it available to a Borrower by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with such Borrower's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Loan Request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolving Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolving Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent an amount equal such Lender's Pro Rata share of the requested Revolving Loan (or deemed request), Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a Lender's Pro Rata share of such Revolving Loan is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed to a Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition the Borrowers agree to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of the Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, (a) in the case of the Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loan and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender repays to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolving Loan, and if both such Lender and the Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to the Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 4.8(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 4.9 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints The Holding Company Borrower and The Holding Company Borrower agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, "Borrower Agent"), including -17-
requesting Revolving Loans, selecting whether any Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Loan Request, disbursement instructions, reports, information, or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, either in its own name, on behalf of a Borrower or on behalf of "the Borrowers," and Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Loan Request, instruction, report, information, or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 4.10 shall not be construed so as to preclude either a Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by "a Borrower" hereunder. Agent may maintain a single loan account in the name of "Euronet Worldwide, Inc." hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower's liability for the Obligations. ARTICLE 5 FEES; COLLATERAL 5.1 Fees. The Borrower Agent shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter executed by Agent and the Borrower Agent concurrently herewith. 5.2 Additional LIBOR Rate Loan Costs. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders from time to time, upon request of the Agent, (i) such amounts as the Agent may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any Additional LIBOR Rate Loan Costs respecting Regulatory Changes and (ii) an administrative fee of Three Hundred Dollars ($300) plus such amounts as the Agent may determine to be necessary to compensate the Lenders for any loss, cost or expense which the Lenders incur (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that is attributable to (A) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Borrower for any reason on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan or (B) any failure by a Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition specified in Article 6 hereof to be satisfied) to borrow, continue or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan on the date therefor specified in the request for borrowing or notice given pursuant to Section 4.8 hereof. Such compensation may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the -18-
amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Agent) which would have accrued to the Lenders on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The covenants of the Borrowers set forth in this Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Agent will notify the Borrower Agent of any event which will entitle the Agent or the Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.2 as promptly as practicable after the Agent determines to require such compensation and will furnish the Borrower Agent with a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of such compensation. (b) Determinations by the Agent of the effect of any Regulatory Change (i) on its rate of return, (ii) on its cost of maintaining the LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) on its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans or (iv) on amounts receivable by it in respect of the LIBOR Rate Loans and determinations of the amounts required to compensate the Agent or the Lenders under this Section 5.2 shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and are set forth in reasonable detail in the certificates referred to in Section 5.2(a) above. (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if it becomes unlawful for the Agent or any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" in Exhibit 1 hereto are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Rate Loans, then the Agent shall give the Borrower Agent prompt notice thereof, and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR Rate Loans, to continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Prime Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans, and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans into Prime Rate Loans. 5.3 Collateral. The Revolving Notes and all other Obligations will be secured as provided in the Pledge Agreements. All assets of each Borrower will be subject to the negative pledge set forth in Section 10.10 below. ARTICLE 6 CONDITIONS TO MAKING LOANS The Lenders' obligation hereunder to make the Loans, extend credit and enter into transactions referred to in Article 3 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions and, in the case of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9, as of each Disbursement Date and each date a Letter of Credit is issued, renewed or extended. On the Closing Date the Borrowers shall have satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 through 6.10 and the Lenders' obligation hereunder to make the Loans, extend credit and enter into transactions referred to in Article 3 on the Closing Date until the Availability Date shall be limited to making Loans in the amount necessary to pay the -19-
principal amount of any "Loans" outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Closing Date and extending credit with respect to any undrawn amount of any "Letter of Credit" outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Closing Date and the Borrowers shall use the proceeds of such Loans for the sole purpose pay such "Loans" and extend such credit. On the date upon which the conditions set forth in Section 6.11 are additionally satisfied (the "Availability Date") the Borrowers shall be entitled to full availability of the Loans and extensions of credit as provided hereunder, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 6.1 Delivery of Loan Documents.

(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 neither the Borrowers nor any other Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 13.5, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 13.5, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section 13.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the -46-
Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) 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 with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Agent and the L/C Issuer unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent a questionnaire in the form provided by the Agent; (v) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and continuing, there shall be no more than two (2) Lenders party to the Credit Agreement at any time without the consent of the Borrower Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (vi) after giving effect to any such assignment no Lender will hold exactly 50% of the Commitments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 3.5, 5.2 and 13.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. (c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Agent's principal office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and -47-
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 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 each of the Borrowers and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Agent a copy of the Register. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender's participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer 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, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or the Lenders effected thereby, that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.7 as though it were a Lender. (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.2 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 4.5(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.5(c) as though it were a Lender. (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under -48-
its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding any- thing to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts). 13.6 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay all out - -of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Lenders and the Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agent an the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or the Note issued hereunder, including, but not limited to, all appraisal fees (equipment or otherwise), filing fees and search fees, the fees, charges and disbursements of Lathrop & Gage L.C., counsel for the Agent, and, in connection with any such amendment, modification or waiver or any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Agent or the Lenders.

(b) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the making of any Loans or the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (each and "Indemnified Claims"); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (ii) have not, in whole or in part, arisen out of or resulted from any act, or omission to act, of any Borrower or any of their Affiliates. (c) The provisions of this Section 13.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 13.6 shall be payable on written demand therefor. 13.7 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent and each Lender 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 indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or any such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Agent or any the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and notwithstanding that such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 13.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Agent of the Lenders may have. 13.8 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise expressly provided in such other Loan Documents, shall be governed by and construed and enforced under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within said state, without giving effect to choice of law or conflict of law principles. 13.9 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor -50-
shall any single or partial exercise of any such 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 Agent and each Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or the Lenders would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower Agent or any Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be contained in a written instrument signed by the Agent and the Required Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Borrower Agent or any Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower Agent or any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, no amendment or waiver shall be effective with respect to any provision in any of the Loan Documents (including Section 12) to the extent such provision relates to the rights, duties, immunities or discretion of Agent; (ii) without the prior written consent of the L/C Issuer, no amendment or waiver with respect to the provisions of Article 3 shall be effective; (iii) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to any Borrower's failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of Agent) as hereinafter set forth in this Section 13.9; and (iv) written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender) shall be required to effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would (a) A. increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender; B. postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document; C. reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document; D. change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action -51-

Each Borrower hereby expressly waives (a) diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower's liability under this Agreement or the Loan Documents; (b) discharge due to any disability of any Borrower; (c) any defenses of any Borrower to obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents not arising under the express terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or from a material breach thereof by Agent of the Lenders which under applicable law has the effect of discharging any Borrower from the obligations as to which this Agreement is sought to be enforced; (d) the benefit of any act or omission by Agent of the Lenders which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Borrower from any of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; (e) except as expressly provided herein, all notices whatsoever, including, without limitation, notice of acceptance of the incurring of the Indebtedness; (f) any right it may have to require the Agent of the Lenders to disclose to it any information that the Agent or the Lenders may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition or any circumstance that bears on the risk of nonpayment by any other Borrower, including, without limitation, the release of such other Borrower from the -52-
Indebtedness; and (g) any requirement that the Agent of the Lenders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any other Borrower or any other security for, or any guarantor of, or any other party liable for, any of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof. Each Borrower specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required, and Borrowers shall not be entitled to require, that the Agent or the Lenders (i) file suit or proceed to assert or obtain a claim for personal judgment against any other Borrower for all or any part of the Indebtedness; (ii) make any effort at collection or enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations from any Borrower; (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or hereafter existing for all or any part of the Indebtedness; (iv) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against any Borrower or any guarantor or other party liable for all or any party of the Indebtedness; (v) exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which the Agent or any Lender is or may be entitled in connection with the Obligations or any security or guaranty relating thereto to assert; or (vi) file any claim against assets of one Borrower before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of any other Borrower under this Agreement or the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and releases: (a) Any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law, contract or otherwise) to require the marshaling of any assets of any Borrower, which right of marshaling might otherwise arise from any such payments made or Obligations performed; (b) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any and all rights that would result in such Borrower being deemed a "Creditor" under the United States Bankruptcy Code of any other Borrower or any other person, on account of payments made or Obligations performed by such Borrower; and (c) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any claim, right or remedy which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by it hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security which the Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise." 13.11 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Note to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by the Agent or the Lenders, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Agent or the Lenders in -53-
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable under the Note, together with all Charges payable to the Agent or the Lenders, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. 13.12 Entire Agreement.

Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 13.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 13.4. 13.15 Headings.

Each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans (each a "German Revolving Loan" and collectively with the UK Revolving Loans, the "Revolving Loans") to the German Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Closing Date through the first Business Day before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in such amounts as the German Borrower shall request as provided in Section 4.8 hereof not to exceed in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the German Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that no Lender shall have any obligation to make a requested German Revolving Loan if, (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) after the making of such German Revolving Loan, (a) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all German Revolving Loans would exceed the German Revolving Credit Commitments or (b) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (c) a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.

German Revolving Loans shall be used to pay existing intercompany indebtedness, for working capital, for Acquisitions and for other corporate or business purposes. (b) (i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, if the aggregate principal indebtedness of the UK Borrower under the UK Revolving Notes at any time exceeds the UK Revolving Credit Commitment, the UK Borrower shall immediately, without demand or notice, pay principal under the UK Revolving Notes so that the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder does not exceed the UK Revolving Credit Commitment. (ii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, if the aggregate principal indebtedness of the German Borrower under the German Revolving Notes at any time exceeds the German Revolving Credit Commitment, the German Borrower shall immediately, without demand or notice, pay principal under the German Revolving Notes so that the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder does not exceed the German Revolving Credit Commitment. (iii) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, if the aggregate principal indebtedness of the Borrowers under the Revolving Notes at any time exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall immediately, without demand or notice, pay principal under their respective Revolving Notes so that the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. (c) Each Borrower's obligations under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes and any other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party shall be joint and several among each Borrower, in case of the German Borrower always subject to the restrictions set forth in Article 14. (d) Once per fiscal quarter of the Borrower Agent, the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrowers, may request that the total Revolving Credit Commitments be reallocated between the UK Revolving Credit Commitments and the German Revolving Credit Commitments. Such re-allocation of the Commitments shall be effective and shall amend Schedule E-1, hereto, only if consented to by the Agent and each Lender effected thereby in writing (in the Agent's and such Lender's sole discretion). 2.2 Revolving Note. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by and repaid in accordance with Revolving Notes executed by each Borrower in favor of each Lender, in the form of Exhibit 2.2 hereto, dated as of the Closing Date or, with respect to Revolving Notes issued to a financial institution that becomes a Lender subsequent to the Closing Date, the date such financial institution becomes a Lender, and each Revolving Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender. Such Notes and any and all amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals, reaffirmations, restatements, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor executed with respect to the UK Revolving Loans are herein referred to as the "UK Revolving Notes" and executed with respect to the German Revolving Loans are herein referred to as the "German Revolving Notes" and collectively with the UK Revolving Notes, shall be referred to 3
as the "Revolving Notes". Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Notes outstanding from time to time at a rate or rates determined as provided in Section 4.3 below. The Revolving Notes shall be paid in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. ARTICLE 3 CURRENCY 3.1 Currency and Amount. The amounts of all Commitments, Loans and other monetary obligations hereunder shall be measured in the Base Currency. The Borrowers may request Loans be funded in an Optional Currency and such Loans, together with any interest or fees related thereto may be repaid in such Optional Currency. 3.2 Selection of Currency. A Borrower (or the Borrower Agent on behalf of a Borrower) shall select the currency of a Loan in a Loan Request and such currency shall be deemed the "denominated" currency for the purposes of repayment in accordance with Section 3.6(b). 3.3 Translation Calculations. No later than 10:00 a.m., Kansas City, Missouri time, on the last day of each month that is a Business Day (each a "Calculation Date"), the Agent will determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each Optional Currency and the Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective of the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a "Reset Date"), and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the Base Currency and the Optional Currencies. (b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., Kansas City time, on each Reset Date and on each date on which Revolving Loans are made or continued, the Agent shall determine the aggregate unpaid principal balance of (i) all UK Revolving Loans outstanding in the equivalent of the Base Currency and (ii) all German Revolving Loans outstanding in the equivalent of the Base Currency. (c) In the event the aggregate unpaid principal balance (calculated in accordance with this Section 3.3) of (i) all UK Revolving Loans exceeds the aggregate UK Revolving Credit Commitments or (ii) all German Revolving Loans exceeds the aggregate German Revolving Credit Commitments, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Agent. The Borrowers (and the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrowers) shall not be entitled to make any further Loan Requests (other than with respect to continuations of outstanding Loans) for the type of Loans that have exceeded the Commitments with respect to such Loans and the Lenders will have no obligation to make any such Loans (other than the continuations of outstanding Loans), in each case for so long as such condition is continuing with respect to such Loans. (d) Without limiting Section 3.3(c), in the event the sum of (i) the amount by which the aggregate unpaid principal balance (calculated in accordance with this Section 3.3) of 4
all UK Revolving Loans exceeds the UK Revolving Commitments, if any, and (ii) the amount by which the aggregate unpaid principal balance (calculated in accordance with this Section 3.3) of all German Revolving Loans exceeds the German Revolving Commitments, if any, is greater than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), the Borrowers shall, not later than the next Business Day following receipt of the notice provided in accordance with Section 3.3(b), and without any further demand or notice, pay principal under their respective Revolving Notes in the amount by which such amount exceeds Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000). 3.4 Agent's Calculations. All calculations made by the Agent pursuant to this Article 3 will take into account any repayment, prepayment, consolidation or division of Loans to be made on the date of such calculations, and will be presumptively correct absent manifest error. 3.5 Currency Indemnity. (a) If any sum due from an Obligor under the Loan Documents (a "Sum"), or any order, judgment or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the "First Currency") in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the "Second Currency") for the purpose of: (i) making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor; or (ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or arbitration proceedings, that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each of the Agent or any Lender to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum; provided, however that the above indemnity with respect to the Agent or any Lender, shall not apply to the extent that any cost, loss or liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender in making such currency conversion. (b) Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the Loan Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be payable. 3.6 Currency of Account. (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) through (e) below, the Base Currency is the currency of account and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Loan Document. (b) A repayment of a Loan or Sum or a part of a Loan or Sum shall be made in the currency in which that Loan or Sum is denominated on its due date. (c) Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued. 5
(d) Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or any taxes shall be made in the currency in which the costs, expenses or such taxes are incurred. (e) Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be paid in that other currency. 3.7 Change of Currency. (a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the same time recognized by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country, then: (i) any reference in the Loan Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Loan Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or currency unit of that country designated by the Agent; and (ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official rate of exchange recognized by the central bank of such country for the conversion of that currency or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent. (b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the Agent specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency. ARTICLE 4 DISBURSEMENTS; INTEREST; PAYMENTS 4.1 Types of Loans. The Loans made on each Disbursement Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be EURIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans (each being referred to as a "type" of Loan) as specified in the applicable Loan Request given by a Borrower or the Borrower Agent in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof. 4.2 Loan Disbursement Procedures. (a) Loans shall be disbursed by the Agent upon request by any Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower from time to time on or after the Closing Date, in such amounts as provided in Section 4.7 below, subject to the limitations on the Lenders' obligations to make Loans as set forth in Section 2.1 above. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and re-borrow Loans at any time prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. (b) Each Loan Request shall be delivered to the Agent in writing or by telex or facsimile transmission in the manner provided in Section 13.1 hereof, or as otherwise agreed by the Agent, in the manner and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.8. The Agent may rely and act upon any such Loan Request which is received from the Borrower Agent or any other person believed by the Agent in good faith to be authorized to make such request on behalf 6
of any Borrower. The Agent shall record in its records all Loans made by the Lenders to any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and all payments made on the Loans. 4.3 Interest. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders interest on the principal amount of each Revolving Loan at the following rates: (i) EURIBOR Rate Option. During any period while such Loan is denominated in Euros, at a rate equal to the EURIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus UK Mandatory Costs in effect on the Disbursement Date or the date of continuation, as applicable, as adjusted as provided in this Agreement. (ii) LIBOR Rate Option. During any period while such Loan is denominated in GBPs at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus UK Mandatory Costs in effect on the Disbursement Date or the date of continuation, as applicable, as adjusted as provided in this Agreement. (iii) Applicable Margin. The "Applicable Margin" will be three percent (3.0%) for all Loans from the date of this Agreement to and including the six month anniversary of the Availability Date. Thereafter, the "Applicable Margin" will be calculated and adjusted, as shown below, on the first day of the month following the receipt by the Agent of each quarterly Compliance Certificate; any change in the "Applicable Margin" shall be effective with respect to any Revolving Loans on or after each such date. The interest rate (other than adjustments to the Applicable Margin as provided herein) with respect to any Loan shall not change during any Interest Period. On and after the six month anniversary of the Availability Date, the "Applicable Margin" will be as follows: If the Euronet Entities' Consolidated The Applicable Margin for Funded Debt / EBITDA Ratio is all Loans shall be greater than 1.50:1.00 3.00% less than or equal to 1.50:1.00, but 2.75% greater than 1.25:1.00 less than or equal to 1.25:1.00, but greater than 1.00:1.00 2.50% less than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 2.25% (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a) above, the Borrowers shall pay interest at the Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any interest or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Revolving Notes (i) that is not paid in full when due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on and including the due date thereof until the same is paid in full and (ii) upon and during the continuance of any failure to comply with or violation of any of the financial covenants set forth 7
in Article 9 of this Agreement as shown on and as of the last day of a fiscal quarter as reflected on any Compliance Certificate. (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period therefor; provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable, to the extent applicable, from time to time on demand of the Agent. (d) In the event that Borrower fails to select the type of Loan or the duration of any Interest Period for any Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in Section 4.8, such Loan will be automatically renewed as the same Type of Loan for a 1 month Interest Period on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan. (e) The amount of all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) days with respect to amounts denominated in GBP and three hundred sixty (360) days with respect to amounts denominated in Euro or Dollars. Interest on any Loan shall be computed for the period commencing on and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan is paid in full; provided, however, that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Loan. 4.4 Optional and Mandatory Payments. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter), subject to giving the Agent prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, provided that (i) each such partial prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or the equivalent amount in the Optional Currency calculated in accordance with the Exchange Rate, and (ii) if any prepayment is made on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, it may be prepaid only upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Agent and Borrower shall pay to the Agent any applicable fees and amounts described in Section 5.2(a) below. Amounts prepaid in respect of Loans under this Section 4.4 may be re-borrowed subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Borrower shall make mandatory principal payments on the Loans as provided in Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 3.3(d) above. 4.5 Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 4.8 below, all payments of principal, interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items payable by the Borrowers hereunder and under the Revolving Notes may be made in an Optional Currency but shall be calculated by the Agent in Dollars and shall be credited on the date of receipt by the Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders if received by the Agent at its principal office in London, in immediately available funds, prior to 1:00 p.m., London time, on a Business Day. Payments made in funds which are not immediately available shall be credited only when the funds are collected by the Agent, and payments received (whether from a Borrower in immediately available funds or through the collection of funds which were not immediately available at the time payment was tendered by a Borrower) after 1:00 p.m. (London time) will be credited on the next Business Day. The Agent reserves the right to apply all payments received by it from a Borrower and designated or authorized to be applied to the Revolving Notes first to any Fees and other charges then due to the Agent or the Lenders, then to accrued interest on such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis and 8
then to reduction of the principal balance of such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, or such other order as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The Agent shall also record in its records, in accordance with customary accounting practice, all interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items properly chargeable to Borrower with respect to the Loans, all payments received by the Agent for application to the Obligations, and all other appropriate debits and credits. The Agent's records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of Obligations outstanding from time to time. All payments received by the Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance with this Section 4.5, subject to the rights of offset that Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason of amounts due to the Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents. (b) Each Obligor shall make all payments by it required hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. (ii) The Borrower Agent shall promptly, upon any Obligor becoming aware that an Obligor has had or will have to make a Tax Deduction (or that there has been or will be a change in the rate at which or the basis on which any Tax Deduction has to be made), notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower Agent and the applicable Obligor. (iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the payment in respect of which the Tax Deduction is required to be made shall be increased to the amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) will leave an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required. (iv) An Obligor is not required to make an increased payment to a Lender under Clause 4.5(b)(iii) above for a Tax Deduction in respect of tax imposed by the United Kingdom or the Republic of Germany from a payment of interest on a Loan, if on the date on which the payment falls due: (aa) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if it was a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty, or any published practice or concession of any relevant taxing authority; or (bb) (1) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender solely under sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of Qualifying Lender; (2) the Board of the Inland Revenue has given (and not revoked) a direction (a "Direction") under section 349C of the Taxes Act (as that provision has effect on the date on which the relevant Lender became a party to this 9

Borrower Agent or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrowers are resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 4.7 Minimum Amounts. Each borrowing or continuation of any Loan shall be in an amount of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or the equivalent amount in the Optional Currency or a multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or the equivalent amount in the Optional Currency in excess thereof, in each case calculated in accordance with the Exchange Rate. 4.8 Certain Requests and Notices. Borrower will request borrowings and give notice to the Agent of all terminations or reductions of the Commitment or continuations and prepayments of Loans and duration of Interest Periods substantially in the form of Exhibits 4.8-A and 4.8-B hereto, as applicable (each a "Loan Request"). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. St. Louis, Missouri time (i) on the Business Day prior to the effective date of the requested termination or reduction of the Commitment, or (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested effective date for a borrowing or prepayment of, or continuation of a Loan or any selection of an Interest Period for a Loan. Any such Loan Request for a borrowing of, or continuation of a Loan shall specify, (i) the amount of principal and Optional Currency which shall comprise the Loan, (ii) the date on which the rate is to become effective, and (iii) the Interest Period for such Loan. For purposes of calculating the number of Business Days, the date 11
the notice is received shall be included if received not later than 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time and excluded if received after 11:00 a.m. Kansas City time. (b) Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Agent of a Loan Request for a borrowing as provided in Section 4.8(a) (except in the case of a deemed request by a Borrower for a Revolving Loan as provided herein, in which event no Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each Lender shall timely honor its Revolving Credit Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Revolving Loan that is properly requested by such Borrower and that such Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement. Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Loan Request (or deemed request for a Borrowing), by 8:00 a.m. London time with respect to UK Revolving Loan and 8:00 a.m. Frankfurt time with respect to German Revolving Loans, at least 2 Business Days before the proposed funding date. Each Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Revolving Loan requested or deemed requested by such Borrower at Agent's designated bank in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. London time on the date of funding of such UK Revolving Loans and 2:00 p.m. Frankfurt time on the date of funding of such German Revolving Loans. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolving Loans received by it available to a Borrower by disbursing such proceeds in accordance with such Borrower's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Loan Request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolving Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolving Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions provided to Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent an amount equal such Lender's Pro Rata share of the requested Revolving Loan (or deemed request), Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent and Agent may in its discretion disburse a corresponding amount to Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a Lender's Pro Rata share of such Revolving Loan is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent has disbursed to a Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to pay, and in addition Borrowers agree to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by Agent to or for the benefit of Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, (a) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loan and (b) in the case of such Lender, at the LIBOR Rate with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans or the EURIBOR Rate with respect to EURIBOR Rate Loans. If such Lender repays to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolving Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 4.8(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 4.9 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and Euronet Worldwide, Inc. agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of itself and each Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, "Borrower Agent"), including requesting Revolving Loans, selecting whether any Loan is to be denominated in Euros or GBPs, and receiving account statements and other notices 12
and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Loan Request, disbursement instructions, reports, information, or any other notice or communication made or given by Borrower Agent, either in its own name, on behalf of either Borrower or on behalf of "the Borrowers," and Agent shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such Loan Request, instruction, report, information, or other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers' liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 4.10 shall not be construed so as to preclude either Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by "a Borrower" hereunder. Agent may maintain a single loan account in the name of "e-pay/Delta" hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower's liability for the Obligations.

Such compensation may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by the Agent) which would have accrued to the Lenders on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the Relevant Interbank Market. The covenants of the Borrowers set forth in this Section 5.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Agent will notify the Borrowers of any event which will entitle the Agent or the Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.2 as promptly as practicable after the Agent 13
determines to require such compensation and will furnish Borrower with a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of such compensation. (b) Determinations by the Agent of the effect of any Regulatory Change (i) on its rate of return, (ii) on its cost of maintaining the Loans, (iii) on its obligation to make Loans or (iv) on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans and determinations of the amounts required to compensate the Agent or the Lenders under this Section 5.2 shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and are set forth in reasonable detail in the certificates referred to in Section 5.2(a) above. (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if it becomes unlawful for the Agent or any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder or if, on or prior to the determination of any EURIBOR Rate or LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "EURIBOR Rate" or "LIBOR Rate" in Exhibit 1 hereto are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for such Loans, then the Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional EURIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be. to continue such Loans or to convert such Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans, either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans if permitted. 5.3 Collateral.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Obligor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 12.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the 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 Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The 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. 12.5 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 Agent. 12.6 Resignation of Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring 37
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 12.8 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower or other Obligor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under the Fee Letter and Section 13.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 38

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 12.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 13.9, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 10.2; and (c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

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 3.5, 5.2 and 13.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section. (c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Agent's principal office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts 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 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 each of the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Agent a copy of the Register. (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the 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, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or the Lenders effected thereby, that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.7 as though it were a Lender. (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.2 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 42
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.5(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender. (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

ARTICLE 14 LIMITATIONS OF THE GERMAN BORROWER'S LIABILITY To the extent the German Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement or the Fee Letter for liabilities of the UK Borrower ("Up-Stream Liabilities") the following shall apply. 14.1 Limitation of Liability. The Agent and the Lenders agree not to assert and enforce any Up-Stream Liabilities against the German Borrower to the extent that the enforcement of such liabilities against the German Borrower would result in (i) a reduction of the German Borrower's Net Assets (Nettovermogen) (as defined in Article 14.2 below) to an amount less than its registered share capital (Stammkapital), or (ii) - if the Net Assets had prior to such enforcement already fallen below the amount of the registered share capital - a further reduction of the Net Assets, and thereby affect the assets required for the statutory preservation of the German Borrower's registered share capital according to ss.ss. 30, 31 of the German Act on Limited Liability Companies. 50
14.2 Determination of Net Asset's Value. The value of the Net Assets(the "Net Assets") shall be calculated as the sum of the balance sheet items shown under ss. 266 subsection 2 lit. (A), (B) and (C) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), less the sum of the balance sheet items shown under ss. 266 subsection 3 lit. (B), (C) (however not taking into account shareholder loans to the extent they constitute equity replacing loans (eigenkapitalersetzende Darlehen)) and (D) of the German Commercial Code, and determined in accordance with the principles for ordinary bookkeeping and the preparation of balance sheets as they were consistently applied by the German Borrower in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschlu(beta) according to ss. 42 German Act on Limited Liability Companies, ss.ss. 242, 264 of the German Commercial Code in previous years, save that for the determination of Net Assets the lower of the book value (Buchwert) and realization value (Liquidationswert) shall be relevant. 14.3 Realization of Assets. If the German Borrower is of the opinion that an enforcement of Up-Stream Liabilities against the German Borrower results in one of the effects described in Article 14.1 above, the German Borrower shall notify promptly, however, no later than one week after the Agent claims payment on any such liability against the German Borrower, the amount of the Net Assets to the Agent. If the Agent disagrees with the amount of the Net Assets notified by the German Borrower, the Agent shall so notify the German Borrower within one week after receipt of the Borrower's notification of the Net Assets pursuant to the preceding sentence. In this case the Agent shall engage a firm of auditors of international standard and repute which shall proceed to review the accounts of the German Borrower in order to prepare an up to date balance sheet and to determine the Net Assets. Such balance sheet and determination of Net Assets shall be prepared in accordance with the principles set forth in Article 14.2 above. The Agent shall immediately notify the German Borrower of the engagement of the auditor. The German Borrower shall render the assistance required to facilitate the aforementioned review of accounts and shall allow full access to its books, accounts and other necessary company records. The Agent shall procure that the auditors forward the balance sheet and the determination of the Net Assets to the German Borrower and the Agent with a copy to the Borrower Agent, immediately after their preparation. The Agent shall refrain from enforcing any Up-Stream Liabilities until the German Borrower has received the auditor's balance sheet and the determination of the Net Assets, such determination being final and binding on the German Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders. 14.4 Realization of Assets. If the German Borrower is of the opinion that an enforcement of an Up-Stream Liability results in one of the effects described in Article 14.1, the German Borrower shall, to the extent legally permitted and commercially justifiable, first realize any and all of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than its market value and if such assets are not necessary for operating the German Borrower's business (nicht betriebsnotwendig). 14.5 No Prejudice for Future Enforcement. No restriction of the assertion and enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the German Borrower will prejudice the rights of the Agent to enforce any still outstanding Up-Stream Liability against the German Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the extent a situation having the effects described in Article 14.1 subsequently ceases to exist. 51
14.6 No Limitation in Case of Passed on Loan Proceeds. The restrictions on the assertion and enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the German Borrower set forth in this Article 14 shall not apply as far as the assertion and enforcement of such Up-Stream Liability pertains to proceeds of the Loans which were loaned or otherwise passed on to the German Borrower to the extent that such proceeds are still outstanding at the time of the enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the German Borrower. 14.7 Adjustment of Registered Share Capital. For the purposes of this Article 14 the registered share capital of the German Borrower shall be adjusted by deducting the amount of any increase in the German Borrower's registered share capital, resolved after the date of this Agreement that (i) is made our of retained earnings (nominal capital increase - Kapitalerhohung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) or (ii) is not fully paid up. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE.

Schedule E-3 UK Mandatory Costs Formula 1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. 2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the "Additional Cost Rate") for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Revolving Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. 3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office. 4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Agent as follows: (a) in relation to a UK Revolving Loan: AB + C(B - D) + E x 0.01 per cent per annum ------------------------ 100 - (A + C) (b) in relation to a Revolving Loan in any currency other than GBP: Ex percent per annum -- 0.01 ---- 300 Where: A is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as 16
an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. B is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Revolving Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (b) of Clause 4.3 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Revolving Loan. C is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. D is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. E is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per (pound)1,000,000. 5. For the purposes of this Schedule: (a) Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; (b) Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; (c) Fee Tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and (d) Tariff Base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. 6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. 7. If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee 17
Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per (pound)1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank. 8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender: (a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and (b) any other information that the Agent may reasonably require for such purpose. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph. 9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office. 10. The Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. 11. The Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above. 12. Any determination by the Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 13. The Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower Agent and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties to this Agreement. 18
