EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) GENERAL
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (Euronet or the Company) have been prepared from the records of the Company, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the opinion of
management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
normal interim closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of Euronet for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the
notes thereto, set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current period consolidated financial statement
presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Presentation of taxes collected and remitted to governmental authorities
During 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected and
Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross
versus Net Presentation). The Company presents taxes collected and remitted to governmental
authorities net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), an
interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 9, Accounting for
Income Taxes. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of
the measurement and recognition related to accounting for income taxes. This interpretation also
requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Companys policy is to record estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of
income taxes as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 11, Income
Taxes, for further discussion regarding the adoption of FIN 48.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159
expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require
assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to use fair
value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,
equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items
include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at
inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to
provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and
fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, such as deferred
financing costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to
measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items
for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained
earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
SFAS No. 159 is effective for Euronet beginning in the first quarter 2008. Euronet is currently
determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot
estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period. Diluted
earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available
6
to common stockholders by the
weighted-average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for the potential
dilution of the assumed conversion of the Companys convertible debentures, options to purchase the
Companys common stock and restricted stock. The following table provides a reconciliation of net
income to earnings available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding to the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

The table includes all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to Euronets
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, the table does not include 295,000 and 17,500, respectively, stock options
or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Companys weighted average common
shares outstanding.
The Company has $140 million of 1.625% convertible debentures due 2024 and $175 million of 3.50%
convertible debentures due 2025 outstanding that, if converted, would have a potentially dilutive
effect on the Companys stock. These debentures are convertible into 4.2 million shares of Common
Stock for the $140 million 1.625% issue, and 4.3 million shares of Common Stock for the $175
million 3.50% issue only upon the occurrence of certain conditions. As required by EITF Issue No.
04-8, The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share, if dilutive, the
impact of the contingently issuable shares must be included in the calculation of diluted earnings
per share under the if-converted method, regardless of whether the conditions upon which the
debentures would be convertible into shares of the Companys Common Stock have been met. Under the
if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 1.625% convertible debentures was dilutive for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and, accordingly, the impact has been
included in the above computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Under the
if-converted method, the assumed conversion of the 3.50% convertible debentures was anti-dilutive
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Accordingly, the impact has been
excluded from the above computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
(4) ACQUISITIONS
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, the Company allocates the purchase price
of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on
estimated fair values. Any excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.
The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired is supported by valuations using estimates
and assumptions provided by management. For certain acquisitions, management engages an appraiser
to assist in the valuation process.
2007 Acquisitions:
During the first quarter 2007, the Company completed two acquisitions described below for an
aggregate purchase price of $25.3 million, comprised of $17.7 million in cash and 275,429 shares of
Euronet Common Stock valued at $7.6 million. In connection
with one of these acquisitions, the Company has agreed to certain contingent consideration
arrangements based on the value of Euronet Common Stock and the achievement of certain performance
criteria. Upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, during 2009 and 2010, the Company
may have to pay a total of $2.5 million in cash or 75,489 shares Euronet Common Stock, at the
option of the seller.
|
|
|
During January 2007, EFT Services Holding BV and Euronet Adminisztracios Kft,
both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Euronet, completed the acquisition of a total of 100% of
the share capital of Brodos SRL in Romania (Brodos Romania). Brodos Romania is a leading
electronic prepaid mobile airtime processor that expanded the Companys Prepaid Processing
Segment business to Romania. |
7
|
|
|
During February 2007, e-pay Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Euronet, completed the acquisition of all of the share capital of Omega Logic, Ltd. (Omega Logic). Omega Logic is a
prepaid top-up company based, and primarily operating, in the U.K. This acquisition enhanced
our Prepaid Processing Segment business in the U.K. |
The Companys allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of acquired tangible and
intangible assets is preliminary and remains so while management completes its assessment of the
fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of March 31, 2007, 75,743 shares
of Euronet Common Stock issued in connection with these acquisitions remain in escrow subject to
the achievement of certain performance criteria. These shares have been reflected in the purchase
price because the Company has determined beyond a reasonable doubt that the performance criteria
will be met.
Agreement to acquire La Nacional
During January 2007, the Company signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La
Nacional Corp. and its U.S. based affiliates (La Nacional), a money transfer company originating
transactions through a network of sending agents and company-owned stores. In connection with
signing the agreement, the Company deposited $26 million in an escrow account created for the
proposed acquisition. The escrowed funds can only be released by mutual agreement of the Company
and La Nacional or through legal remedies available under the agreement. The Company became aware
that on February 6, 2007, two employees of La Nacional working in different La Nacional stores were
arrested for allegedly violating federal money laundering laws and certain state statutes. See Note
13, Subsequent Events, for subsequent developments relating to the Companys agreement to acquire
La Nacional.
See Note 13, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the Companys acquisition of the common stock
of RIA Envia, Inc. (RIA) in April 2007.
2006 Acquisition:
In January 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Essentis, Limited
(Essentis) for approximately $2.9 million, which was comprised of $0.9 million in cash and
approximately $2.0 million in assumed liabilities. Essentis is a U.K. company that owns and
develops software packages that enhance Euronets outsourcing and software offerings to banks.
Essentis is reported in the Companys EFT Processing Segment. There are no potential additional
purchase price or escrow arrangements associated with the acquisition of Essentis.

Estimated annual amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes,
as of March 31, 2007, is expected to be $9.4 million for 2007, $9.3 million for 2008, $9.3 million
for 2009, $9.2 million for 2010, $7.1 million for 2011 and $5.6 million for 2012.
The Companys annual goodwill impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2006 indicated that
there were no impairments. Determining the fair value of reporting units for the purpose of the
goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows
and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the
Companys operations will not perform as expected, or that estimates or assumptions could change,
which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in
which these changes take place.

(7) EQUITY PRIVATE PLACEMENT
During March 2007, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited
investors to issue and sell 6,374,528 shares of Common Stock in a private placement. The
offering price for the shares was $25.00 per share and the gross proceeds of the offering were
approximately $159.4 million. The net proceeds from the sale, after deducting commissions and
estimated expenses, were approximately $154.3 million.
(8) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information, as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. During the first quarter 2007, the Company began
reporting and managing the operations of the EFT Processing Segment and the Software Solutions
Segment on a combined basis. Previously reported amounts have been restated to reflect these
changes, which did not impact consolidated results. As a result of this change, the Company
currently operates in the following two principal business segments.
|
1) |
|
Through the EFT Processing Segment, the Company processes transactions for a network of
ATMs and POS terminals across Europe, Asia and Africa. The Company provides comprehensive
electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS
management solutions and electronic recharge services for prepaid mobile airtime purchases
via ATM or directly from the handset. Through this segment, the Company also offers a suite
of integrated electronic financial transaction (EFT) software solutions for electronic
payment, merchant acquiring, card issuing and transaction delivery systems. |
|
|
2) |
|
Through the Prepaid Processing Segment, the Company provides prepaid processing, or
top-up services, for prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products. The Company operates
a network of POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime
services in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. This segment also includes the
results of Euronet Payments & Remittance, a licensed money transfer and bill payment
company. |
In addition, in its administrative division, Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other, the
Company accounts for non-operating activity, certain intersegment eliminations and the costs of
providing corporate and other administrative services to the two business segments. These services
are not directly identifiable with the Companys business segments.
The following tables present the segment results of the Companys operations for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

(9) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
During 2005, a former cash supply contractor in Central Europe (the Contractor) claimed that the
Company owed it approximately $2.0 million for the provision of cash during the fourth quarter 1999
and first quarter 2000 that had not been returned. This claim was made after the Company terminated
its business with the Contractor and established a cash supply agreement with another supplier. In
the first quarter 2006, the Contractor initiated legal action in Budapest, Hungary regarding the
claim. In April 2007, an arbitration tribunal
awarded the Contractor $1.0 million, plus $0.2 million in interest, under the claim, which was
recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses of the Companys EFT Processing Segment
during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Loss contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually
or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of
operations or financial condition of the Company. The Company expenses legal costs in connection
with loss contingencies when incurred.
Gain contingency
During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service announced that Internal Revenue Code Section 4251
(relating to communications excise tax) will no longer apply to, among other services, prepaid
mobile airtime such as the services offered by the Companys Prepaid Processing
10
Segments U.S.
operations. Additionally, companies that paid this excise tax during the period beginning on March
1, 2003 and ending on July 31, 2006, are entitled to a credit or refund of amounts paid in
conjunction with the filing of 2006 federal income tax returns. The Company plans to claim refunds
for amounts paid during this period. As of March 31, 2007, the refund claim had not been
quantified. No amounts have been recorded, or will be recorded for any potential recovery, in the
Consolidated Financial Statements until such time as the refund is considered realizable as
stipulated under SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
(10) GUARANTEES
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $32.9 million of bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of
which $14.0 million are collateralized by cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks.
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. regularly grants guarantees of the obligations of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had granted guarantees in the following amounts:
|
|
|
Cash in various ATM networks $19.5 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements. |
|
|
|
|
Other vendor supply agreements $3.1 million over the term of the vendor agreements. |
|
|
|
|
Performance guarantees $18.8 million over the terms of the agreements with the customers. |
From time to time, Euronet enters into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain
indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each
respective agreement. The amount of such obligations is not stated in the agreements. Our liability
under such indemnification provision may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary
caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnity obligations include the following:
|
|
|
In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, Euronet provides
certain warranties and infringement indemnities to the licensee, which generally warrant
that such systems do not infringe on intellectual property owned by third parties and that
the systems will perform in accordance with their specifications; |
|
|
|
|
Euronet has entered into purchase and service agreements with our vendors and into
consulting agreements with providers of consulting services, pursuant to which the Company
has agreed to indemnify certain of such vendors and consultants, respectively, against
third-party claims arising from the Companys use of the vendors product or the services
of the vendor or consultant; |
|
|
|
|
In connection with acquisitions and dispositions of subsidiaries, operating units and
business assets, the Company has entered into agreements containing indemnification
provisions, which can be generally described as follows: (i) in connection with
acquisitions made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third
party claims made against the seller relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or
asset and arising after the closing of the transaction, and (ii) in connection with
dispositions made by Euronet, Euronet has agreed to indemnify the buyer against damages
incurred by the buyer due to the buyers reliance on representations and warranties
relating to the subject subsidiary, operating unit or business assets in the disposition
agreement if such representations or warranties were untrue when made; |
|
|
|
|
Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that
provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Companys benefit plans. Under
such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third
party claims relating to the carrying out of their respective duties under such
agreements; and |
|
|
|
|
The Company has issued surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing
requirements of certain states. |
To date, the Company is not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or
third parties to guarantee agreements with the Company and, accordingly, no liabilities were
recorded as of March 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
(11) INCOME TAXES
As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and has analyzed its filing
positions in all federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. As a result of this analysis, the
Company recognized less than $0.1 million in additional unrecognized tax benefits. As of January 1, 2007 the
Company had a total of $35.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $2.8
million would impact the Companys provision for income taxes and effective tax rate, if
recognized. Total estimated accrued interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income
taxes was $0.5 million as of January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007. The following tax years remain
open in the Companys major jurisdictions:
|
|
|
Poland
|
|
1999 through 2006 |
U.S. (Federal)
|
|
2000 through 2006 |
Australia
|
|
2003 through 2006 |
U.K.
|
|
2004 through 2006 |
Germany
|
|
2004 through 2006 |
11
As of March 31, 2007, there have been no material changes to the status of the Companys remaining
open tax years.
The application of FIN 48 requires significant judgment in assessing the outcome of future tax
examinations and their potential impact on the Companys estimated effective tax rate and the value
of deferred tax assets, such as those related to the Companys net operating loss carryforwards. It
is reasonably possible that amounts reserved for potential exposure could significantly change as a
result of the conclusion of tax examinations and, accordingly, materially affect our operating
results. During the three-months ended March 31, 2007, the Companys uncertain tax
positions increased by $0.2 million.
(12) GAIN FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the non-current assets and related capital
lease obligations of its ATM processing business in France to Atos S.A. During the first quarter
2007, the Company received a binding French Supreme Court decision relating to a lawsuit in France
that resulted in a cash recovery and gain to the Company of $0.3 million, net of legal costs. There
were no assets or liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Acquisition of RIA
In April 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of the common stock of RIA, which will expand
the Companys money transfer operations in the U.S. and internationally. The purchase price of
approximately $504.0 million is comprised of $358.3 million in cash, 4,053,606 shares of Euronet
Common Stock valued at $108.9 million, 3,685,098 contingent value rights and stock appreciation
rights valued at approximately $32.1 million and transaction costs of approximately $4.7 million.
The Company financed the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of cash on hand
and $190 million in additional debt obligations discussed below. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock
Purchase Agreement, as amended, $35 million in cash and 276,382 shares of Euronet Common Stock are
being held in escrow to secure certain obligations of the sellers under the Stock Purchase
Agreement, as amended
As a result of the acquisition of RIA, beginning in the second quarter 2007, the Company will
separately report results for the Money Transfer Segment. Additionally, in April 2007, the Company
combined its previous money transfer business with RIA and will recognize total exit costs of
approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million that will be recorded during the second quarter 2007.
These exit costs represent the accelerated amortization and depreciation of software, property and
equipment, and leasehold improvements that will be disposed of during the second quarter, an
accrual for the present value of future lease costs that are not expected to be recovered through
sub-lease rental income and severance and retention payments to be made to certain employees. These
costs will be reflected as operating expenses during the second quarter 2007.
Debt obligations
In connection with the completion the acquisition of RIA during April 2007, the Company entered
into a $290 million secured syndicated credit facility consisting of a $190 million seven-year term
loan, which was fully-drawn at closing, and a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility (the
Credit Facility). The $190 million seven-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus
200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points and contains a 1% per annum principal amortization
requirement, payable quarterly, with the remaining balance outstanding due at the end of year
seven. The $100 million five-year revolving line of credit will be priced initially at LIBOR plus
200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points, subject to a pricing grid that adjusts the spread
each quarter based upon the Companys consolidated total leverage ratio. Euronets new $100 million
five-year revolving credit facility replaces its existing $50 million revolving credit facility.
The term loan may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million and the revolving credit facility
may be expanded by up to an additional $25 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions
including pro-forma debt covenant compliance. The new agreements contain certain mandatory
prepayments, customary events of default and financial covenants, including leverage ratios. The
leverage ratios will step down over the next eighteen months thereby requiring the Company to
reduce its total consolidated leverage ratio. Financing costs of $4.3 million have been deferred
and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans.
Agreement to acquire La Nacional
On April 5, 2007, the Company gave notice to the stockholders of La Nacional, Inc. of the
termination of the stock purchase agreement and requested the release of the escrowed funds under
the terms of the stock purchase agreement. La Nacional is contesting our request for release of the
escrowed funds. We are pursuing all legal remedies available to us to resolve this dispute.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (we, us, Euronet or the Company) is a leading electronic
transaction processor, offering ATM and POS outsourcing services, integrated electronic financial
transaction (EFT) software, network gateways and electronic prepaid top-up services to financial
institutions, mobile operators and retailers, as well as electronic consumer money transfer and
bill payment services. We operate the largest independent pan-European ATM network, the largest
national shared ATM network in India, and we are one of the largest providers of prepaid mobile
airtime processing.
During the first quarter 2007, we began reporting and managing the operations of the EFT Processing
Segment and the Software Solutions Segment on a combined basis. Previously reported amounts have
been restated to reflect these changes, which did not impact consolidated results. As a result of
this change, we operate in the following two principal business segments.
|
|
|
An EFT Processing Segment, in which we process transactions for a network of 9,182
ATMs and more than 43,000 POS terminals across Europe, Asia and Africa. We provide
comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM network participation,
outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit card outsourcing and electronic
recharge services for prepaid mobile airtime. Through this segment, we also offer a suite
of integrated electronic financial transaction (EFT) software solutions for electronic
payment, merchant acquiring, card issuing and transaction delivery systems. |
|
|
|
|
A Prepaid Processing Segment, through which we provide distribution of prepaid mobile
airtime and other prepaid products and collections services for various prepaid products,
cards and services. Including terminals owned by unconsolidated subsidiaries, we operate a
network of more than 356,000 POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid
mobile airtime top-up services in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. This segment
also includes Euronet Payments & Remittance, Inc. (Euronet Payments & Remittance), which
provides money transfer services to customers from the U.S. to destinations primarily in
Latin America, and bill payment services to customers within the U.S. |
We have six processing centers in Europe, two in Asia and one in the U.S., and we have seventeen
principal offices in Europe, four in the Asia-Pacific region, four in the U.S. and one in the
Middle East. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA.
SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW
Euronet earns revenues and income based on ATM management fees, transaction fees and commissions,
professional services, software licensing fees and software maintenance agreements. Each business
segments sources of revenue are described below.
EFT Processing Segment Revenue in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 25%
of total consolidated revenue for the first quarter 2007, is derived from fees charged for
transactions effected by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, as well as fixed
management fees and transaction fees we charge to banks for operating ATMs and processing credit
cards under outsourcing agreements. Through our proprietary network, we generally charge fees for
four types of ATM transactions: i) cash withdrawals, ii) balance inquiries, iii) transactions not
completed because the relevant card issuer does not give authorization, and iv) prepaid
telecommunication recharges. Revenue in this segment is also derived from licensing, professional
services and maintenance fees for software and sales of related hardware, primarily to financial
institutions around the world.
Prepaid Processing Segment - Revenue in the Prepaid Processing Segment, which represented
approximately 75% of total consolidated revenue for the first quarter 2007, is primarily derived
from commissions and processing fees received from mobile and other telecommunication operators, or
from distributors of prepaid wireless products for the distribution and/or processing of prepaid
mobile
airtime and other telecommunication products. Agreements with mobile operators are important to the
success of our business. These agreements permit us to distribute prepaid mobile airtime to the
mobile operators customers. The loss of significant agreements with mobile operators in any of our
markets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
EFT Processing Segment - The continued expansion and development of our EFT Processing Segment
business will depend on various factors including the following:
|
|
|
the impact of competition by banks and other ATM operators and service providers in our current target markets; |
|
|
|
|
the demand for our ATM outsourcing services in our current target markets; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to develop products or services to drive increases in transactions; |
|
|
|
|
the expansion of our various business lines in markets where we operate and in new markets; |
|
|
|
|
the entrance into additional card acceptance and ATM management agreements with banks; |
13
|
|
|
the ability to obtain required licenses in markets we intend to enter or expand services; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of financing for expansion; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to efficiently install ATMs contracted under newly awarded outsourcing agreements; |
|
|
|
|
the successful entry into the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business; and |
|
|
|
|
the continued development and implementation of our software products and their
ability to interact with other leading products. |
Software products are also an integral part of our product lines, and our investment in research,
development, delivery and customer support reflects our ongoing commitment to an expanded customer
base. We have been able to enter into agreements under which we use our software in lieu of cash as
our initial capital contributions to new transaction processing joint ventures. Such contributions
sometimes permit us to enter new markets without significant capital investment.
We have entered the cross-border merchant processing and acquiring business, through the execution
of an agreement with a large petrol retailer in Central Europe. We are developing the necessary
processing systems, which involved the purchase of hardware and software. Merchant acquiring
involves processing credit and debit card transactions that are made on POS terminals, including
authorization, settlement, and processing of settlement files. It may involve the assumption of
credit risk, as the principal amount of transactions may be settled to merchants before settlements
are received from card associations.
Prepaid Processing Segment As of March 31, 2007, we offered prepaid mobile phone top-up services
in the U.S., Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific; money transfer services to customers from the U.S. to
destinations primarily in Latin America, and bill payment services to customers in the U.S., U.K.
and Poland. We plan to expand our top-up business in these and other markets by taking advantage of
our existing expertise together with relationships with mobile phone operators and retailers. We
plan to expand our card-based money transfer and bill payment services by offering the product on
many of our existing POS terminals in the U.S. and internationally.
Expansion will depend on various factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
|
|
|
the ability to negotiate new agreements in additional markets with mobile phone
operators, agent banks and retailers; |
|
|
|
|
the continuation of the trend towards conversion from scratch card solutions to
electronic processing solutions for prepaid mobile airtime among mobile phone users and the
continued use of third party providers such as ourselves to supply this service; |
|
|
|
|
the development of mobile phone networks in these markets and the increase in
the number of mobile phone users; |
|
|
|
|
the continuation of the trend of increased use of electronic money transfer and
bill payment among immigrant workers and the unbanked population in our markets; |
|
|
|
|
the overall pace of growth in the prepaid mobile phone market; |
|
|
|
|
our market share of the retail distribution capacity; |
|
|
|
|
the level of commission that is paid to the various intermediaries in the prepaid mobile airtime distribution chain; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to obtain money transfer licenses to operate in many of the states within the U.S. and internationally; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to rapidly maximize the number of agents and retailers who sell our
card-based money transfer and bill payment product in the U.S. and internationally; |
|
|
|
|
the availability of financing for further expansion; and |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully integrate newly acquired operations with our existing operations. |
To expand our money transfer and bill payment services business, during April 2007 we completed the
acquisition of all of the stock of RIA Envia, Inc. (RIA). The purchase price of approximately
$504.0 million is comprised of $358.3 million in cash, 4,053,606 shares of Euronet Common Stock
valued at $108.9 million, 3,685,098 contingent value rights and stock appreciation rights valued at
approximately $32.1 million and transaction costs of approximately $4.7 million. The Company
financed the cash portion of the purchase price through a combination of cash on hand and $190
million in additional debt obligations. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as
amended, $35 million in cash and 276,382 shares of Euronet Common Stock are being held in escrow to
secure certain obligations of the
sellers under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended. The acquisition of RIA makes Euronet the
third largest global money transfer company. RIA processes approximately $4.5 billion in money
transfers annually, originates transactions through a network of 10,000 sending agents and 98
company-owned stores located throughout 13 countries in North America, the Caribbean, Europe and
Asia and terminates transactions through a payer network of over 32,000 locations across 82
countries. The acquisition is expected to create significant cross-selling opportunities on our
network of more than 186,000 prepaid top up locations and to provide prepaid services through RIAs
stores and agents worldwide. Additionally, we expect to leverage our banking and merchant/retailer
relationships to expand money transfer services to corridors across Europe and Asia, including high
growth corridors to central and eastern European countries.
Consistent with other participants in the money transfer industry, as a result of immigration
matters, downturns in certain labor markets and/or other economic factors, growth rates in money
transfers from the U.S. to Mexico has slowed. This slowing of growth began during the middle of
2006 and continues to impact money transfer revenues for transactions from the U.S. to Mexico.
Despite recent improvement in this trend, we believe that it is it too early to conclude on the
impact, if any, to our results of operations.
14
As a result of this acquisition, beginning in the second quarter 2007, we will separately report
results for the Money Transfer Segment. Additionally, during April 2007, we combined our previous
money transfer business with RIA and will recognize total exit costs of approximately $1.0 million
to $1.5 million in the second quarter 2007. These exit costs represent: i) the accelerated
amortization and depreciation of software, property and equipment, and leasehold improvements that
will be disposed of during the second quarter; ii) an accrual for the present value of future lease
costs that are not expected to be recovered through sub-lease rental income; and iii) severance and
retention payments to be made to certain employees. These costs will be reflected as operating
expenses during the second quarter 2007.
During the first quarter 2007, we completed the acquisition of the stock of Omega Logic, Ltd.
(Omega Logic) and Brodos SRL in Romania (Brodos Romania). Omega Logic is a prepaid top-up
company based, and primarily operating, in the U.K. that enhanced our Prepaid Processing Segment
business in the U.K. Brodos Romania is a leading electronic prepaid mobile airtime processor in
Romania.
Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other - In addition to operating in our principal business
segments described above, our division, Corporate Services, Elimination and Other includes
non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and
other administrative services to the business segments, including share-based compensation expense
related to most option and restricted stock grants. These services are not directly identifiable
with our business segments. The impact of share-based compensation is recorded as an expense of the
Corporate Services division, with certain limited exceptions related to grants of restricted stock
to key members of management that vest based on the achievement of performance criteria by our
subsidiaries.

As discussed previously, during the first quarter 2007, we began reporting and managing the
operations of the EFT Processing Segment and the Software Solutions Segment on a combined basis.
Previously reported amounts have been restated to reflect these changes.
Revenues
Our revenue for the first quarter 2007 increased when compared to the first quarter 2006 primarily
due to increases in the number of ATMs operated and, for owned ATMs, the number of transactions
processed and foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar. These increases were primarily in Poland, India and Euronet Card Services Greece.
Additionally, a portion of this increase was due to higher license and maintenance revenue recorded
by our Essentis subsidiary. This 2007 increase was the result of the deferral of certain revenues
from the first quarter 2006 to the second quarter 2006 because we had not yet formalized new
contracts for projects with certain customers to replace the previous contracts that expired when
we acquired Essentis.
Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction in revenue associated with the extension of
certain customer contracts for several years beyond their original terms. In exchange for these
extensions, we paid or received an up-front payment, and agreed on a gradually declining fee
structure. As prescribed by U.S. GAAP, revenue under these contracts is recognized based on
proportional performance of services over the term of the contract, which generally results in
straight-line (i.e., consistent value per period) revenue recognition of the contracts total
cash flows, including any up-front payment. This straight-line revenue recognition results in
revenue that is less than contractual invoices and cash receipts in the early periods of the
agreement and revenue that is greater than the contractual invoices and cash receipts in the later
years of the agreement. As a result of the revenue recognition under these contracts, amounts
invoiced under the contract exceeded the amount of revenue that we recognized by about $0.6 million
for the first quarter 2007. We may decide to enter into similar arrangements with other EFT
Processing Segment customers during 2007 and beyond.
Average monthly revenue per ATM was $1,308 for the first quarter 2007 compared to $1,346 for the
first quarter 2006 and revenue per transaction was $0.27 for the first quarter 2007 compared to
$0.29 for 2006. The decrease in revenue per ATM and revenue per transaction was due to the addition
of ATMs in India where revenue per ATM is generally lower than Central and Eastern Europe, the
addition of additional Euronet-owned ATMs where related revenue has not yet developed to material
levels and the extension of contracts discussed above.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs consist primarily of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply
costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications and the cost of data center operations-related
personnel, as well as the processing centers facility related costs and other processing center
related expenses. The increase in direct operating cost for the first quarter 2007 compared to the
first quarter 2006, is attributed to the increase in the number of
ATMs under operation, the
number of transactions processed and foreign currency translations to the U.S. dollar.
16
Gross margin
Gross margin, which is revenue less direct operating costs, increased to $25.1 million for the
first quarter 2007 from $23.1 million for the first quarter 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of
revenue was 60% for the first quarter 2007 compared to 64% for the first quarter 2006. The decrease
in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is due to the fluctuations in revenues discussed above,
as well as the increased contributions of our Indian subsidiary, which generally earns a lower
gross margin than our other operations.
Salaries and benefits
The increase in salaries and benefits for the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006
was due to staffing costs to expand in emerging markets, such as India, China and new European
markets, and additional products, such as POS, card processing and cross-border merchant processing
and acquiring. Salaries and benefits also increased as a result of general merit increases awarded
to employees and certain additional staffing requirements due to the larger number of ATMs under
operation and transactions processed. As a percentage of revenue, however, these costs remained
relatively flat at 22% of revenue the first quarter 2007 compared to 23% for first quarter 2006.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2007 compared to
the first quarter 2006 is primarily due to the $1.2 million loss recorded under a claim from a
former cash supply contractor in Central Europe. The claim loss was awarded by an arbitration
tribunal in Budapest Hungary and involved the claim that the cash supply contractor provided us
with cash during the fourth quarter 1999 and first quarter 2000 that was not returned. Excluding
this loss, as a percentage of revenues, these costs decreased to 9% of revenue for the first
quarter 2007 from 10% of revenue for the first quarter 2006.
Depreciation and amortization
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the first quarter 2007 compared to the
first quarter 2006 is due primarily to additional equipment and software for our Hungarian
processing center during 2006 and additional ATMs in Poland. As a percentage of revenue, these
expenses increased slightly to 10% for the first quarter 2007 from 9% for the first quarter 2006.
Operating income
Operating income decreased for the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006, primarily
due to the arbitration loss described under selling, general and administrative expenses above.
Excluding this loss, operating income as a percentage of revenue was 19% for the first quarter 2007
compared to 22% for the first quarter 2006 and $0.06 per transaction for the first quarter 2007 and
$0.08 per transaction for the first quarter 2006. Excluding the arbitration loss, average monthly
operating income per ATM was $299 for the first quarter 2007 compared to $351 for the first quarter
2006. The decreases in operating income as a percentage of revenue, operating income per
transaction and average monthly operating income per ATM were generally the result of the decreases
in gross margin, revenue per ATM and revenue per transaction described above, combined with
additional salaries and benefits incurred to expand into emerging markets and additional products.
Software sales backlog
As of March 31, 2007, we had a software contract backlog of approximately $8.1 million compared to
approximately $6.7 million as of March 31, 2006. Such backlog represents software sales based on
signed contracts under which we continue to have performance milestones before the sale will be
completed. We recognize revenue on a percentage of completion method, based on certain milestone
conditions, for our software solutions. As a result, we have not recognized all the revenue
associated with these sales contracts. We cannot give assurances that the milestones under the
contracts will be completed within one year or that we will be able to recognize the related
revenue within the one-year period.

Revenues
The increase in revenues for the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006 was
generally attributable to the increase in total transactions processed across all of our Prepaid
Processing operations, the first quarter 2007 acquisitions of
Omega Logic and Brodos Romania and foreign currency translations to
the U.S. dollar.
Revenue growth was partially offset by reduced revenue in Spain resulting from the second quarter
2006 expiration of a preferential commission arrangement with a Spanish mobile operator. When we
acquired our Spanish prepaid subsidiaries, we entered into an agreement with a major mobile
operator under which the subsidiaries received a preferred, exclusive distributor commission on
sales of prepaid mobile airtime. Additionally, in certain mature markets, our revenue growth has
slowed substantially and, in some cases, revenues have decreased because conversion from scratch
cards to electronic top-up is substantially complete and certain mobile operators and retailers are
driving competitive reductions in pricing and margins. We expect most of our revenue growth for
2007 and beyond to be derived from developing markets or markets in which there is organic growth
in the prepaid sector overall, from continued conversion from scratch cards to electronic top-up,
from additional products sold over the base of prepaid processing terminals and, possibly, from
acquisitions.
Revenue per transaction decreased to $0.92 for the first quarter 2007 from $1.15 for the first
quarter 2006 due primarily to the growth in revenues and transactions recorded by our ATX
subsidiary. ATX provides only transaction processing services without direct costs and other
operating costs generally associated with installing and managing terminals; therefore, the revenue
we recognize from these transactions is a fraction of that recognized on average transactions, but
with very low cost. Transaction volumes at ATX have increased by 286% for the first quarter 2007
compared to the first quarter 2006. The expiration of preferential commission arrangements in Spain
discussed above also contributed to the decrease in revenue per transaction. Partially offsetting
the decreases described above was the growth in both volumes and revenues related to our U.S.
subsidiary, PaySpot, Inc. (PaySpot). Revenue per transaction for PaySpot is generally higher than
most of our other Prepaid Processing subsidiaries.
Direct operating costs
Direct operating costs in the Prepaid Processing Segment include the commissions we pay to retail
merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, as
well as communication and paper expenses required to operate POS terminals. Because of their
nature, these expenditures generally fluctuate directly with revenues and processed transactions.
The increase in direct operating costs is generally attributable to the increase in total
transactions processed and foreign currency translations to
the U.S. dollar compared to the prior year.
Gross margin
Gross margin, which represents revenue less direct costs, was $24.6 million for the first quarter
2007 compared to $22.5 million for the first quarter 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue
was 19% for the first quarter 2007 compared to 20% for the first quarter 2006 and gross margin per
transaction was $0.18 for the first quarter 2007 compared to $0.23 for the first quarter 2006. Most
of the reduction in gross margin per transaction is due to the growth of revenues and transactions
at our ATX subsidiary and the expiration of preferential commission arrangements in Spain discussed
above.
18
Salaries and benefits
The increase in salaries and benefits for the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006
is primarily the result of the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and Omega Logic. As a percentage of
revenue, salaries and benefits have decreased slightly to 5.4% for the first quarter 2007, from
5.7% for the first quarter 2006. The decrease in salaries and benefits as a percentage of revenue
reflects our growing leverage and scalability in our markets.
Selling, general and administrative
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2007 compared to
the first quarter 2006 is the result of the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and Omega Logic, as well
as additional overhead to support development in other new and growing markets. As a percentage of
revenue these selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 3.9% for the first quarter
2007 compared to 3.5% of revenue for the first quarter 2006 mainly due to additional expenses
incurred in new markets.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents amortization of acquired intangibles and
the depreciation of POS terminals we install in retail stores. The increase for the first quarter
2007 compared to the first quarter 2006 is due to the acquisitions of Brodos Romania and Omega
Logic, as well as depreciation on additional POS terminals. As a percentage of revenues,
depreciation and amortization was flat at 3.0% for both the first quarter 2007 and first quarter
2006.
Operating income
Operating income for the first quarter 2007 decreased slightly compared to the first quarter 2006.
As a result of the developments in Spain discussed above, operating income for the first quarter
2007 was approximately $1.1 million lower than the first quarter 2006. Additionally, operating
income for the first quarter 2007 includes increased losses of $0.3 million related to Euronet
Payments & Remittance, Inc. compared to the first quarter 2006. Exclusive of these two reductions,
the improvement in operating income for the first quarter 2007 was due to the growth in revenues
and transactions processed, increased leverage and scalability in our markets and foreign currency translations to
the U.S. dollar.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues decreased to 6.9% for the first quarter 2007 from 8.1%
for the first quarter 2006, primarily due to the developments in Spain and operating expenses
incurred to support development in new and growing markets. Operating income per transaction
decreased to $0.06 for the first quarter 2007 from $0.09 for the first quarter 2006. The decrease
in operating income per transaction is due to the developments in Spain and the growth in revenues
and transactions associated with ATX.

Corporate operating expenses
The decrease in salaries and benefits for the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006
was due to lower incentive accruals, lower share-based compensation and lower salary costs.
19
OTHER INCOME, NET
Interest income
Interest income was $4.3 million for the first quarter 2007 compared to $2.7 million for the first
quarter 2006. The increase in interest income for the first quarter 2007 was primarily due to cash
generated from operations and the $154.3 million of net proceeds from the private equity placement
that we completed during March 2007. We have also benefited from higher average interest rates
during the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006 due to a shift of investments from
money market accounts to commercial paper and the general rise in short-term interest rates.
Foreign currency exchange gain, net
The re-measurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the local
currency of each of our subsidiaries give rise to foreign currency exchange gains and losses that
are recorded in determining net income. We recorded net foreign currency exchange gains of $0.4
million and $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

We calculate our effective tax rate by dividing income tax expense by pre-tax book income
including the effect of minority interest. Our effective tax rate was 29.9% for the first quarter
2007 compared to 27.6% for the first quarter 2006.
We are in a net operating loss position for our U.S. operations and, accordingly have valuation
allowances to reserve for net deferred tax assets. Therefore, we do not currently recognize the tax
benefit or expense associated with foreign currency gains or losses incurred by our U.S.
operations. Excluding foreign exchange translation results from pre-tax book income, our effective
tax rate was 30.9% for the first quarter 2007 and 31.4% for the first quarter 2006.
The decrease in the year-over-year effective tax rates, excluding foreign currency gains and
losses, was also attributable to the increased profitability of individual companies located in
lower than average tax rate jurisdictions, together with increased operating profits in countries
with remaining net operating loss carryforwards, such as the U.S.
We determine income tax expense and remit income taxes based upon enacted tax laws and regulations
applicable in each of the taxing jurisdictions where we conduct business. Based on our
interpretation of such laws and regulations, and considering the evidence of available facts and
circumstances and baseline operating forecasts, we have accrued the estimated tax effects of
certain transactions, business ventures, contractual and organizational structures, projected
business unit performance, and the estimated future reversal of timing differences. Should a taxing
jurisdiction change its laws and regulations or dispute our conclusions, or should management
become aware of new facts or other evidence that could alter our conclusions, the resulting impact
to our estimates could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
20
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In July 2002, we sold substantially all of the non-current assets and related capital lease
obligations of our ATM processing business in France to Atos S.A. During the first quarter 2007, we
received a binding French Supreme Court decision relating to a lawsuit in France that resulted in a
cash recovery and gain of $0.3 million, net of legal costs. There were no assets or liabilities
held for sale at March 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
NET INCOME
We recorded net income of $9.6 million for the first quarter 2007 compared to $9.4 million for the
first quarter 2006. As more fully discussed above, the increase of $0.2 million was primarily the
result of a decrease in net interest expense of $1.6 million and a gain from discontinued
operations of $0.3 million. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in operating
income of $0.3 million, a decrease in our foreign currency exchange gain of $1.1 million and an increase in income
taxes of $0.4 million. Operating income included the impact from the arbitration loss of $1.2
million described in more detail in the discussion of operating results from the EFT Processing
Segment.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As of March 31, 2007, we had working capital, which is the difference between total current assets
and total current liabilities, of $414.8 million, compared to working capital of $284.4 million as
of December 31, 2006. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.01 at March 31,
2007, compared to 1.70 as of December 31, 2006. The increase in working capital and the improvement
in the ratio of current assets to current liabilities were due primarily to a private equity
offering that we completed during March 2007. As of March 31, 2007, the net proceeds from the
offering remained unused and included in unrestricted cash.
Operating cash flows
Cash flows
provided by operating activities were relatively flat at $7.5 million for the first quarter 2007 compared to
$6.3 million for first quarter 2006.
Investing activity cash flow
Cash flows used in investing activities were $46.3 million for the first quarter 2007, compared to
$9.9 million for the first quarter 2006. The increase in investing activities during the first
quarter 2007 was primarily related to increased acquisition activity and the increase in restricted cash because
we deposited $26 million in an escrow account in connection with the agreement to acquire Envios de
Valores La Nacional Corp. (La Nacional). See further discussion under Subsequent Events
Agreement to acquire La Nacional below. Our investing activities for
the first quarter 2007 consisted of $15.0 million in cash paid related to acquisitions and $5.3
million for purchases of property and equipment, software development and other
investing activities. Our investing activities for the first quarter 2006 include $2.3 million in
cash paid for acquisitions and $7.6 million for purchases of property and equipment, software development and other
investing activities.
Financing activity cash flows
Cash flows from financing activities were $136.9 million during the first quarter 2007 compared to
$6.8 million during the first quarter 2006. Our financing activities for the first quarter 2007
consisted primarily of proceeds from the equity private placement of $159.4 million, offset by
dividends paid to minority interest stockholders and repayments of obligations under short term
debt, revolving credit and capital leases arrangements. Our financing activities for the first
quarter 2006 consist primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee share
purchase of $10.4 million, partially offset by repayments of short-term borrowings and payments on
capital lease obligations totaling $3.5 million.
Expected future financing and investing cash requirements primarily depend on our acquisition
activity and the related financing needs. During April 2007, we completed the acquisition of RIA.
For further discussion see Subsequent developmentsAcquisition of RIA below.
Other sources of capital
Revolving credit agreements As of March 31, 2007, we had borrowings of $16.1 million and
stand-by letters of credit totaling $3.0 million outstanding against the revolving credit
agreements; the remaining $30.9 million ($45.9 million if the facility were increased to $65
million) was available for borrowing. Borrowings under these agreements are being used to fund
short-term working capital requirements in India and the U.S.
21
In connection with our completion of the acquisition of RIA in April 2007, we replaced the existing
revolving credit agreement with a new $100 million revolving credit facility. See Subsequent
EventsAcquisition of RIA below for further discussion.
Short-term debt obligations Short-term debt obligations consist primarily of credit
lines, overdraft facilities and short-term loans to support ATM cash needs and supplement
short-term working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2007, we had $3.2 million in short-term
debt obligations borrowed by our subsidiary in the Czech Republic that was being used to fund
short-term working capital requirements.
Our Prepaid Processing Segment subsidiaries in Spain enter into agreements with financial
institutions to receive cash in advance of collections on customers accounts. These arrangements
can be with or without recourse and the financial institutions charge the Spanish subsidiaries
transaction fees and/or interest in connection with these advances. Cash received can be up to 40
days prior to the customer invoice due dates. Accordingly, the Spanish subsidiaries remain
obligated to the banks on the cash advances until the underlying account receivable is ultimately
collected. Where the risk of collection remains with Euronet, the receipt of cash continues to be
carried on the consolidated balance sheet in each of trade accounts receivable and accrued expenses
and other current liabilities. As of March 31, 2007, we had $1.4 million outstanding under these
arrangements.
We believe that the short-term debt obligations can be refinanced at terms acceptable to us.
However, if acceptable refinancing options are not available, we believe that amounts due under
these obligations can be funded through cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand.
Convertible debt As of March 31, 2007, we have $175 million in principal amount of 3.50%
Convertible Debentures Due 2025 that are convertible into 4.3 million shares of Euronet common
stock at a conversion price of $40.48 per share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to
the closing prices of Euronet common stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). We
will pay contingent interest, during any six-month period commencing with the period from October
15, 2012 through April 14, 2013, and for each six-month period thereafter from April 15 to October
14 or October 15 to April 14, for which the average trading price of the debentures for the
applicable five trading-day period preceding such applicable interest period equals or exceeds 120%
of the principal amount of the debentures. Contingent interest will equal 0.35% per annum of the
average trading price of a debenture for such five trading-day periods. The debentures may not be
redeemed by us until October 20, 2012 but are redeemable at par at any time thereafter. Holders of
the debentures have the option to require us to purchase their debentures at par on October 15,
2012, 2015 and 2020, or upon a change in control of the Company. When due, these debentures can be
settled in cash or Euronet Common Stock, at our option, at predetermined conversion rates.
We also have $140 million in principal amount of 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 that
are convertible into 4.2 million shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of $33.63 per
share upon the occurrence of certain events (relating to the closing prices of Euronet common stock
exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods). We will pay contingent interest, during any
six-month period commencing with the period from December 20, 2009 through June 14, 2010, and for
each six-month period thereafter from June 15 to December 14 or December 15 to June 14, for which
the average trading price of the debentures for the applicable five trading-day period preceding
such applicable interest period equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the debentures.
Contingent interest will equal 0.30% per annum of the average trading price of a debenture for such
five trading-day periods. The debentures may not be redeemed by us until December 20, 2009 but are
redeemable at any time thereafter at par. Holders of the debentures have the option to
require us to purchase their debentures at par on December 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019, and upon a
change in control of the Company. When due, these debentures can be settled in cash or Euronet
Common Stock, at our option, at predetermined conversion rates.
These terms and other material terms and conditions applicable to the convertible debentures are
set forth in the indenture agreements governing these debentures.
Proceeds from issuance of shares and other capital contributions We have established, and
shareholders have approved, share compensation plans that allow the Company to make grants of
restricted stock, or options to purchase shares of Common Stock, to certain current and prospective
key employees, directors and consultants. During the first quarter 2007, 57,312 stock options were
exercised at an average exercise price of $11.62, resulting in proceeds to us of approximately $0.7
million.
Other uses of capital
Payment obligations related to acquisitions We have potential contingent obligations to
the former owners of the net assets of Movilcarga. Based upon presently available information we do
not believe any additional payments will be required. The seller has disputed this conclusion and
may seek arbitration as provided for in the purchase agreement. Any additional payments, if
ultimately determined to be owed the seller, would be recorded as additional goodwill and could be
made in either cash of a combination of cash and Euronet Common Stock at our option.
In connection with the acquisition of Brodos Romania, we have agreed to certain contingent
consideration arrangements based on the achievement of certain performance criteria. During 2009
and 2010, we may have to pay a total of $2.5 million in cash or 75,489 shares of Euronet Common
Stock, at the option of the seller.
22
See sections entitled Subsequent developmentsAcquisition of RIA below for discussion of
liquidity and capital resources involving the completion of the acquisition of RIA during April
2007.
Leases We lease ATMs and other property and equipment under capital lease arrangements
and, as of March 31, 2007, we owed $19.2 million under these arrangements. The majority of these
lease agreements are entered into in connection with long-term outsourcing agreements where,
generally, we purchase a banks ATMs and simultaneously sell the ATMs to an entity related to the
bank and lease back the ATMs for purposes of fulfilling the ATM outsourcing agreement with the
bank. We fully recover the related lease costs from the bank under the outsourcing agreements.
Generally, the leases may be canceled without penalty upon reasonable notice in the unlikely event
the bank or we were to terminate the related outsourcing agreement. We expect that, if terms were
acceptable, we would acquire more ATMs from banks under such outsourcing and lease agreements.
Capital expenditures and needs Total capital expenditures for the first quarter 2007 were
$5.3 million, of which $1.2 million were funded through capital leases. These capital expenditures
were required primarily for the purchase of ATMs to meet contractual requirements in Poland and
India, the purchase and installation ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS
terminals for the Prepaid Processing Segment and office and data center computer equipment and
software. Total capital expenditures for 2007 are estimated to be approximately $30 million to $35
million, primarily for the purchase of ATMs to meet contractual requirements in Poland and India,
to purchase and install ATMs in future key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of terminals for
the prepaid processing and money transfer businesses and office and data center computer equipment
and software. We expect approximately $10 million of the capital expenditures will be covered
through capital leases in conjunction with ATM outsourcing agreements where we already have signed
agreements with banks. The balance of these capital expenditures will be funded through cash
generated from operations, together with cash on hand.
In the Prepaid Processing Segment, approximately 93,000 of the more than 356,000 POS devices that
we operate are Company-owned, with the remaining terminals being operated as integrated cash
register devices of our major retail customers or owned by the retailers. As our Prepaid Processing
Segment expands, we will continue to add terminals in certain independent retail locations at a
price of approximately $300 per terminal. We expect the proportion of owned terminals to total
terminals operated to remain relatively constant.
We are required to maintain ATM hardware for Euronet-owned ATMs and software for all ATMs in our
network in accordance with certain regulations and mandates established by local country regulatory
and administrative bodies as well as EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) chip card support.
Accordingly, we expect additional capital expenditures over the next few years to maintain
compliance with these regulations and/or mandates. If strategic opportunities were available to us,
we would consider increasing future capital expenditures to expand our network of owned ATMs in new
or existing markets. Upgrades to our ATM software and hardware were required in 2005 to meet EMV
mandates such as Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) and micro-chip card technology for smart
cards. We completed a plan for implementation and delivery of the hardware and software
modifications; the remaining capital expenditures necessary to complete these upgrade requirements
are estimated to be approximately $3.0 million.
Litigation During 2005, a former cash supply contractor in Central Europe (the
Contractor) claimed that we owed approximately $2.0 million for the provision of cash during the
fourth quarter 1999 and first quarter 2000 that had not been returned. This claim was made after
the Company terminated its business with the Contractor and established a cash supply agreement
with another supplier. In the first
quarter 2006, the Contractor initiated legal action in Budapest, Hungary regarding the claim. In
April 2007, an arbitration tribunal awarded the Contractor $1.0 million, plus $0.2 million in
interest, under the claim, which was recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses of
the Companys EFT Processing Segment during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that our cash generated from operations,
together with cash on hand and amounts available under our recently amended revolving credit
agreements and other and existing and future financing will be sufficient to meet our debt,
leasing, contingent acquisition and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are
insufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt under terms acceptable
to us. However, we can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain favorable terms for the
refinancing of any of our debt or obligations.
Contingencies
From time to time, we are a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.
Currently, there are no contingencies that we believe, either individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
During 2006, the Internal Revenue Service announced that Internal Revenue Code Section 4251
(relating to telecommunications excise tax) will no longer apply to, among other services, prepaid
mobile airtime such as the services offered by our Prepaid Processing Segments U.S. operations.
Additionally, companies that paid this excise tax during the period beginning on March 1, 2003 and
ending on July 31, 2006, are entitled to a credit or refund of amounts paid in conjunction with the
filing of 2006 federal income tax returns. We plan to claim refunds for amounts paid during this
period. Because of the complexity of the matter, the refund claim has not yet been quantified. No
amounts have been recorded, or will be recorded for any potential recovery, in our Consolidated
Financial Statements until
23
such time as the refund is considered realizable as stipulated under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
Inflation and functional currencies
Generally, the countries in which we operate have experienced low and stable inflation in recent
years. Therefore, the local currency in each of these markets is the functional currency.
Currently, we do not believe that inflation will have a significant effect on our results of
operations or financial position. We continually review inflation and the functional currency in
each of the countries where we operate.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Debt obligations In connection with completing the acquisition of RIA discussed under
Opportunities and Challenges above, we entered into a $290 million secured syndicated credit
facility consisting of a $190 million seven-year term loan, which was fully drawn at closing, and a
$100 million five-year revolving credit facility (together the Credit Facility). The $190 million
seven-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points
and requires that we repay 1% of the outstanding balance each year, with the remaining balance
payable after seven years. We estimate that we will be able to repay the $190 million term loan
prior to its maturity date through cash flows available from operations, provided our operating
cash flows are not required for future business developments. Estimated financing costs of $4.3
million have been deferred and are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. We may
be required to repay our obligations under the Credit Facility six months before any potential
repurchase date under our $140 million, 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 or our $175
million 3.5% Convertible Debentures Due 2025, unless we are able to demonstrate that either: (i) we
could borrow unsubordinated funded debt equal to the principal amount of the applicable convertible
debentures while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility or
(ii) we will have sufficient liquidity (as determined by the administrative agent and the lenders).
The Credit Facility contains three financial covenants that become more restrictive between now and
September 30, 2008. The financial covenants that become more restrictive are: (1) total debt to
earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio, (2) senior secured
debt to EBITDA ratio and (3) EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio. Because of the change to these
covenants over time, in order to remain in compliance with our debt covenants we will be required
to increase our EBITDA, repay debt, or both. These and other material terms and conditions
applicable to the Credit Facility are described in the agreement governing the Credit Facility,
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The $100 million five-year revolving line of credit replaces our existing revolving credit facility
and will initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points or prime plus 100 basis points,
subject to a pricing grid that adjusts the spread each quarter based upon our consolidated total
debt to EBITDA ratio. This credit line will be used primarily to fund working capital requirements,
which are expected to increase as a result of our recent acquisitions. Based on our current
projected working capital requirements, we anticipate that our revolving line of credit will be
sufficient to fund our working capital needs.
The term loan may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million and the revolving credit facility
can be expanded by up to an additional $25 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions
including pro-forma debt covenant compliance.
Agreement to acquire La Nacional During January 2007, we signed a stock purchase
agreement to acquire Envios de Valores La Nacional Corp. (La Nacional), subject to regulatory
approvals and other customary closing conditions. In connection with signing this agreement, we
deposited funds in an escrow account created for the proposed acquisition. The escrowed funds can
only be released by mutual agreement of the Company and La Nacional or through legal remedies
available in the agreement.
On February 6, 2007, two employees of La Nacional working in different La Nacional stores were
arrested for allegedly violating federal money laundering laws and certain state statutes. On April
5, 2007, we gave notice to the stockholders of La Nacional, Inc. of the termination of the stock
purchase agreement and requested the release of the $26 million in purchase price deposited in
escrow under the terms of the stock purchase agreement. La Nacional is contesting our request for
release of the escrowed funds. We are pursuing all legal remedies available to us to resolve this
dispute. We cannot predict when with dispute will be resolved or what the resolution may be.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We regularly grant guarantees of the obligations of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and we sometimes
enter into agreements with unaffiliated parties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms
of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. Our liability
under such indemnification provision may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary
caps and other conditions and defenses. As of March 31, 2007, there were no material changes from
the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. To date, we
are not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or parties to guarantee
agreements with us and, accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded as of March 31, 2007.
24
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft that would
amend SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. During redeliberations, the FASB has reaffirmed
certain decisions including, among other things: 1) measuring and recognizing contingent
consideration at fair value as of the acquisition date and recording adjustments to liabilities as
adjustments in earnings; 2) identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination
should be measured at a current exchange value rather than at an entity-specific value; 3) the
acquiring company should measure and recognize the acquirees identifiable assets and liabilities
and goodwill in a step or partial acquisition at 100 percent of their acquisition date fair values;
and 4) accounting for transaction related costs as expenses in the period incurred, rather than
capitalizing these costs as a component of the respective purchase price. The FASB has not yet
reaffirmed decisions on other items. The FASB expects to issue the final statement during the third
quarter 2007, which will be effective for us beginning in 2009. If adopted, the changes described
above, as well as other possible changes, would likely have a significant impact on the accounting
treatment for acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159
expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require
assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair
value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities,
equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items
include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at
inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to
provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and
fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, such as deferred
financing costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to
measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items
for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained
earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
SFAS 159 will be effective beginning in our first quarter 2008. We are currently determining
whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the
impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words believe, expect, anticipated,
intend, estimate and similar expressions.
Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may materially differ from those in
the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those
referred to above and as set forth and more fully described in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
For the three-months ended March 31, 2007, 83% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar
countries compared to 84% for the three-months ended March 31, 2006. This slight decrease in
revenues from non-U.S. dollar countries, compared to prior year is due to increased revenues of our
U.S.-based Prepaid Processing Segment operations. We expect to continue generating a significant
portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
25
We are particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the
currencies of countries in which we have significant operations. We estimate that, depending on the
net foreign currency working capital position at a selected point in time, a 10% fluctuation in
these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net
income and working capital of up to approximately $10.0 million. This effect is estimated by
segregating revenues, expenses and working capital by currency and applying a 10% currency
depreciation and appreciation to the non-U.S. dollar amounts. We believe this quantitative measure
has inherent limitations and does not take into account any governmental actions or changes in
either customer purchasing patterns or our financing or operating strategies.
We are also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in our money transfer subsidiary,
Euronet Payments & Remittance. A majority of this business involves receiving and disbursing
different currencies, in which we earn a foreign currency spread based on the difference between
buying currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the currency to consumers at retail
exchange rates. This spread provides some protection against currency fluctuations that occur while
we are holding the foreign currency. Additionally, our exposure to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates is limited by the fact that disbursement occurs for the majority of transactions
shortly after they are initiated.
Through the first quarter 2007, this portion of our business was insignificant. However, as
discussed under Liquidity and Capital Resources Subsequent Events above, during April 2007 we
completed the acquisition of the common stock of RIA, which will significantly expand our money
transfer business in the U.S. and internationally and increase our exposure to foreign currency
risk substantially.
Interest rate risk
As of March 31, 2007, we do not have significant exposure to interest rate volatility. Of the total
outstanding debt of $353.5 million, approximately 89% relates to contingent convertible debentures
having fixed coupon rates. Our $175 million contingent convertible debentures, issued in October
2005, accrue interest at a rate of 3.50% per annum. The $140 million contingent convertible
debentures, issued in December 2004, accrue interest at a rate of 1.625% per annum. Interest
expense, including amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, for these contingent convertible
debentures is expected to total approximately $10.1 million per year, or a weighted average
interest rate of 3.2% annually.
The remaining 11% of total debt outstanding relates to debt obligations and capitalized leases with
fixed payment and interest terms that expire between 2006 and 2011. We also have $50 million in
revolving credit facilities, which can be increased to $65 million, that accrue interest at
variable rates. Should we borrow this full $65 million under the revolving credit facility, in
addition to approximately $3.2 million borrowed under other debt arrangements as of March 31, 2007,
and maintain the balance for a full year, a 1% increase in the applicable interest rate would
result in additional interest expense to the Company of approximately $0.7 million.
In connection with completing the acquisition of RIA, during April 2007, we entered into a $290
million secured syndicated credit facility consisting of a $190 million seven-year term loan, which
was fully drawn at closing, and a $100 million five-year revolving credit facility, which accrue
interest at variable rates. This revolving credit facility replaces our $50 million
revolving credit facility. The credit facility may be expanded by up to an additional $150 million
in term loan and up to an additional $25 million for the revolving line of credit, subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions including pro forma debt covenant compliance. This facility
substantially increases our interest rate risk and, should interest rates increase by 1% and we
have the full $290 million outstanding for a full year our interest expense would
increase by $2.9 million. If we borrowed the full amount available under the facility of $465
million and maintained this balance for a full year, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase
interest expense by $4.7 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives.
Our executive management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of such date.
CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
26
PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time a party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of its
business.
The discussion in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9 Litigation and Contingencies,
regarding litigation is incorporated herein by reference.
Currently, there are no legal proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the
aggregate, would have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated results of operations or
financial condition of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 1A. Rick Factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 as updated in our subsequent
filings with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, before making an investment
decision. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by
any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, are not the only ones facing our company. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations.
If any of the risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by any subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline substantially.
This Quarterly Report also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks described below
and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously
disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as
filed with the SEC.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may be required to prepay our obligations under the $290 million secured syndicated credit
facility.
Prepayment in full of the obligations under the $290 million secured syndicated credit facility
(the Credit Facility) may be required six months prior to any required repurchase date under our
$140 million 1.625% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2024 or our $175 million 3.5% Convertible
Debentures Due 2025, unless we are able to demonstrate that either: (i) we could borrow
unsubordinated funded debt equal to the principal amount of the applicable convertible debentures
while remaining in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility or (ii) we will
have sufficient liquidity (as determined by the administrative agent and the lenders). The Credit
Facility
contains three financial covenants that become more restrictive between now and September 30, 2008.
The financial covenants that become more restrictive are: (1) total debt to earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio, (2) senior secured debt to EBITDA
ratio and (3) EBITDA to fixed charge coverage ratio. Because these covenant thresholds will be come
more restrictive between now and September 30, 2008, to remain in compliance with our debt
covenants we will be required to increase EBITDA, repay debt, or both. We cannot assure you that we
will have sufficient assets, liquidity or EBITDA to meet or avoid these obligations, which could
have an adverse impact on our financial condition.
If we are unable to maintain our money transfer agent network, our business may be adversely
affected.
Our money transfer based revenue is primarily generated through our agent network. Transaction
volumes at existing agent locations may increase over time and new agents provide us with
additional revenue. If agents decide to leave our network or if we are unable to sign new agents,
our revenue and profit growth rates may be adversely affected. Our agents are also subject to a
wide variety of laws and regulations that vary significantly, depending on the legal jurisdiction.
Changes in these laws and regulations could adversely affect our ability to maintain our agent
network or the cost of providing money transfer services. In addition, agents may generate fewer
transactions or less revenue due to various factors, including increased competition. Because our
agents are third parties that may sell products and provide services in addition to our money
transfer services, our agents may encounter business difficulties unrelated to the provision of our
services, which may cause the agents to reduce their number of locations or hours of operation, or
cease doing business altogether.
27
If consumer confidence in our money transfer business or brands declines, our business may be
adversely affected.
Our money transfer business relies on consumer confidence in our brands and our ability to provide
efficient and reliable money transfer services. A decline in consumer confidence in our business or
brands, or in traditional money transfer providers as a means to transfer money, may adversely
impact transaction volumes which would in turn be expected to adversely impact our business.
Our money transfer service offerings are dependent on financial institutions to provide such
offerings.
Our money transfer business involves transferring funds internationally and is dependent upon
foreign and domestic financial institutions, including our competitors, to execute funds transfers
and foreign currency transactions. Changes to existing regulations of financial institution
operations, such as those designed to combat terrorism or money laundering, could require us to
alter our operating procedures in a manner that increases our cost of doing business or to
terminate certain product offerings. In addition, as a result of existing regulations and/or
changes to those regulations, financial institutions could decide to cease providing the services
on which we depend, requiring us to terminate certain product offerings.
We are subject to the risks of liability for fraudulent bankcard and other card transactions
involving a breach in our security systems, breaches of our information security policies or
safeguards, as well as for ATM theft and vandalism.
We capture, transmit, handle and store sensitive information in conducting and managing electronic,
financial and mobile transactions, such as card information and PIN numbers. These businesses
involve certain inherent security risks, in particular the risk of electronic interception and
theft of the information for use in fraudulent or other card transactions, by persons outside the
Company or by our own employees. We incorporate industry-standard encryption technology and
processing methodology into our systems and software, and maintain controls and procedures
regarding access to our computer systems by employees and others, to maintain high levels of
security. Although this technology and methodology decrease security risks, they cannot be
eliminated entirely, as criminal elements apply increasingly sophisticated technology to attempt to
obtain unauthorized access to the information handled by ATM and electronic financial transaction
networks.
Any breach in our security systems could result in the perpetration of fraudulent financial
transactions for which we may be found liable. We are insured against various risks, including
theft and negligence, but such insurance coverage is subject to deductibles, exclusions and
limitations that may leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from security breaches.
We also collect, transfer and retain consumer data as part of our money transfer business. These
activities are subject to certain consumer privacy laws and regulations in the U.S. and in other
jurisdictions where our money transfer services are offered. We maintain technical and operational
safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements. Despite these safeguards, there
remains a risk that these safeguards could be breached resulting in improper access to, and
disclosure of, sensitive consumer information. Breaches of our security policies or applicable
legal requirements resulting in a compromise of consumer data could expose us to regulatory
enforcement action, subject us to litigation, limit our ability to provide money transfer services
and/or cause reputational harm.
In addition to electronic fraud issues and breaches of our information security policies and
safeguards, the possible theft and vandalism of ATMs present risks for our ATM business. We install
ATMs at high-traffic sites and consequently our ATMs are exposed to theft and vandalism. Although
we are insured against such risks, deductibles, exclusions or limitations in such insurance may
leave us bearing some or all of any losses arising from theft or vandalism of ATMs. In addition, we
have experienced increases in claims under our insurance, which has increased our insurance
premiums.
Our money transfer and prepaid mobile airtime top-up businesses may be susceptible to fraud and/or
credit risks occurring at the retailer and/or consumer level.
In our Prepaid Processing Segment, we contract with retailers that accept payment on our behalf,
which we then transfer to a trust or other operating account for payment to mobile phone operators.
In the event a retailer does not transfer to us payments that it receives for mobile airtime, we
are responsible to the mobile phone operator for the cost of the airtime credited to the customers
mobile phone. We can provide no assurance that retailer fraud will not increase in the future or
that any proceeds we receive under our credit enhancement insurance policies will be adequate to
cover losses resulting from retailer fraud, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to our money transfer business, our business is primarily conducted through our agent
network, which provides money transfer services directly to consumers at retail locations. Our
agents collect funds directly from the consumers and in turn we collect from the agents the
proceeds due us resulting from the money transfer transactions. Therefore, we have credit exposure
to our agents. The failure of agents owing us significant amounts to remit funds to us or to repay
such amounts could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to business cycles, seasonality and other outside factors that may negatively affect
our business.
A recessionary economic environment or other outside factors could have a negative impact on mobile
phone operators, retailers and our customers and could reduce the level of transactions, which
could, in turn, negatively impact our financial results. If mobile phone
28
operators, financial
institutions and other money transfer customers experience decreased demand for their products and
services or if the locations where we provide services decrease in number, we will process fewer
transactions, resulting in lower revenue. In addition, a recessionary economic environment could
reduce the level of transactions taking place on our networks, which will have a negative impact on
our business.
Our experience is that the level of transactions on our networks is also subject to substantial
seasonal variation. Transaction levels have consistently been much higher in the fourth quarter of
the fiscal year due to increased use of ATMs, prepaid mobile airtime top-ups and money transfer
services during the holiday season. Generally, the level of transactions drops in the first
quarter, during which transaction levels are generally the lowest we experience during the year,
which reduces the level of revenues that we record. Additionally, in the Money Transfer Segment, we
experience increased transaction levels during the April through September timeframe coinciding
with the increase in worker migration patterns. As a result of these seasonal variations, our
quarterly operating results may fluctuate materially and could lead to volatility in the price of
our shares.
Additionally, economic or political instability, civil unrest, terrorism and natural disasters may
make money transfers to, from or within a particular country more difficult. The inability to
timely complete money transfers could adversely affect our business.
Our operating results in the money transfer business depend in part on continued worker immigration
patterns, our ability to expand our share of the existing electronic market and to expand into new
markets and our ability to continue complying with regulations issued by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC), Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN),
PATRIOT Act regulations or any other existing or future regulations that impact any aspect of our
money transfer business.
Our money transfer business primarily focuses on workers who migrate to foreign countries in search
of employment and then send a portion of their earnings to family members in their home countries.
Our ability to continue complying with the requirements of OFAC, BSA, FINCEN, the PATRIOT Act and
other regulations (both U.S. and foreign) is important to our success in achieving growth and an
inability to do this could have an adverse impact on our revenue and earnings. Changes in U.S. and
foreign government policies or enforcement toward immigration may have a negative affect on
immigration in the U.S. and other countries, which could also have an adverse impact on our money
transfer revenues.
Future growth and profitability depend upon expansion within the markets in which we currently
operate and the development of new markets for our money transfer services through the acquisition
of RIA. Our expansion into new markets is dependent upon our ability to successfully integrate RIA
into our existing operations, to apply our existing technology or to develop new applications to
satisfy market demand. We may not have adequate financial and technological resources to expand our
distribution channels and product applications to satisfy these demands, which may have an adverse
impact on our ability to achieve expected growth in revenues and earnings.
Developments in electronic financial transactions could materially reduce our transaction levels
and revenues.
Certain developments in the field of electronic financial transactions may reduce the need for
ATMs, prepaid mobile phone POS terminals and money transfer agents. These developments may reduce
the transaction levels that we experience on our networks in the markets where they occur.
Financial institutions, retailers and agents could elect to increase fees to their customers for
using our services, which may cause a decline in the use of our services and have an adverse effect
on our revenues. If transaction levels over our existing network
of ATMs, POS terminals, agents and other distribution methods do not increase, growth in our
revenues will depend primarily on increased capital investment for new sites and developing new
markets, which reduces the margin we realize from our revenues.
The mobile phone industry is a rapidly evolving area, in which technological developments, in
particular the development of new methods or services, may affect the demand for other services in
a dramatic way. The development of any new technology that reduces the need or demand for prepaid
mobile phone time could materially and adversely affect our business.
Because our business is highly dependent on the proper operation of our computer network and
telecommunications connections, significant technical disruptions to these systems would adversely
affect our revenues and financial results.
Our business involves the operation and maintenance of a sophisticated computer network and
telecommunications connections with financial institutions, mobile operators, retailers and agents.
This, in turn, requires the maintenance of computer equipment and infrastructure, including
telecommunications and electrical systems, and the integration and enhancement of complex software
applications. Our ATM segment also uses a satellite-based system that is susceptible to the risk of
satellite failure. There are operational risks inherent in this type of business that can result in
the temporary shutdown of part or all of our processing systems, such as failure of electrical
supply, failure of computer hardware and software errors. Excluding Germany, transactions in the
EFT Processing Segment are processed through our Budapest, Belgrade, Athens, Beijing and Mumbai
operations centers. Our e-top-up transactions are processed through our Basildon, Martinsried,
Madrid and Leawood, Kansas operations centers. Transactions in our Money Transfer Segment are
processed through our Cerritos, California operations center. Any operational problem in these
centers may have a significant adverse impact on the operation of our networks. Even with disaster
recovery procedures in place, these risks cannot be eliminated entirely and
29
any technical failure
that prevents operation of our systems for a significant period of time will prevent us from
processing transactions during that period of time and will directly and adversely affect our
revenues and financial results.
Our competition in the EFT Processing Segment, Prepaid Processing Segment and Money Transfer
Segment include large, well financed companies and financial institutions larger than us with
earlier entry into the market. As a result, we may lack the financial resources and access needed
to capture increased market share.
EFT Processing Segment Our principal EFT Processing competitors include ATM networks owned by
banks and national switches consisting of consortiums of local banks that provide outsourcing and
transaction services only to banks and independent ATM deployers in that country. Large,
well-financed companies offer ATM network and outsourcing services that compete with us in various
markets. In some cases, these companies also sell a broader range of card and processing services
than we, and are in some cases, willing to discount ATM services to obtain large contracts covering
a broad range of services. Competitive factors in our EFT Processing Segment include network
availability and response time, breadth of service offering, price to both the bank and to its
customers, ATM location and access to other networks.
For our ITM product line, we are a leading supplier of electronic financial transaction processing
software for the IBM iSeries platform in a largely fragmented market, which is made up of
competitors that offer a variety of solutions that compete with our products, ranging from single
applications to fully integrated electronic financial processing software. Additionally, for ITM,
other industry suppliers service the software requirements of large mainframe systems and
UNIX-based platforms, and accordingly are not considered competitors. We have specifically targeted
customers consisting of financial institutions that operate their back office systems with the IBM
iSeries. For Essentis, we are a strong supplier of electronic payment processing software for card
issuers and merchant acquirers on a mainframe platform. Our competition includes products owned and
marketed by other software companies as well as large, well financed companies that offer
outsourcing and credit card services to financial institutions. We believe our Essentis offering is
one of the few software solutions in this product area that has been developed as a completely new
system, as opposed to a re-engineered legacy system, taking full advantage of the latest technology
and business strategies available.
Our software solutions business has multiple types of competitors that compete across all EFT
software components in the following areas: (i) ATM, network and POS software systems, (ii)
Internet banking software systems, (iii) credit card software systems, (iv) mobile banking systems,
(v) mobile operator solutions, (vi) telephone banking and (vii) full EFT software. Competitive
factors in the software solutions business include price, technology development and the ability of
software systems to interact with other leading products.
Prepaid Processing Segment We face competition in the prepaid business in all of our markets. A
few multinational companies operate in several of our markets, and we therefore compete with them
in a number of countries. In other markets, our competition is from smaller, local companies. Major
retailers with high volumes are in a position to demand a larger share of the commission, which may
compress our margins.
Money Transfer Segment Our primary competitors in the money transfer and bill payment business
include other independent processors and electronic money transmitters, as well as certain major
national and regional banks, financial institutions and independent sales organizations. Our
competitors include Western Union, Global Payments, MoneyGram and others, some of which are larger
than we are and have greater resources than we have. This may allow them to offer better pricing
terms to customers, which may result in a loss of our potential or current customers or could force
us to lower our prices. Either of these actions could have an adverse impact on our revenues. In
addition, our competitors may have the ability to devote more financial and operational resources
than we can to the
development of new technologies that provide improved functionality and features to their product
and service offerings. If successful, their development efforts could render our product and
services offerings less desirable, resulting in the loss of customers or a reduction in the price
we could demand for our services. In addition to traditional money payment services, new
technologies are emerging that may effectively compete with traditional money payment services,
such as stored-value cards, debit networks and web-based services. Our continued growth depends
upon our ability to compete effectively with these alternative technologies.
Because we derive our revenue from a multitude of countries with different currencies, our business
is affected by local inflation and foreign currency exchange rates and policies.
We attempt to match any assets denominated in a currency with liabilities denominated in the same
currency. Nonetheless, substantially all of our indebtedness is denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros
and British pounds. While a significant amount of our cash outflows, including the acquisition of
ATMs, executive salaries, certain long-term contracts and a significant portion of our debt
obligations, are made in U.S. dollars, most of our revenues are denominated in other currencies. As
exchange rates among the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and other currencies fluctuate, the translation
effect of these fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or
financial condition as reported in U.S. dollars. Moreover, exchange rate policies have not always
allowed for the free conversion of currencies at the market rate. Future fluctuations in the value
of the dollar could continue to have an adverse effect on our results.
Our consumer money transfer operations subject us to foreign currency exchange risks as our
customers deposit one currency at our retail and agent locations worldwide and we typically deliver
funds denominated in a different, destination country currency.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During August 2006,
we entered into a purchase agreement with the former shareholders of
Brodos Romania for the acquisition of all of the share capital of
Brodos Romania, which includes $2.5 million
in contingent consideration. The acquisition closed in January 2007. The issuance of our Common
Stock in connection with the Brodos Romania acquisition is contingent
upon Brodos Romania achieving certain
performance criteria during the years 2007 through 2010. If contingent consideration becomes
payable, the sellers of Brodos Romania have the right to elect payment in the form of cash or our Common
Stock. If the sellers of Brodos Romania select payment of the contingent consideration in Common Stock,
then we will be required to issue a maximum of 75,489 shares. When the shares of our Common Stock
are issued, they will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act). Because the
offer was, and potential future issuance of our Common Stock will be, made in an offshore
transaction as contemplated by Regulation S promulgated under of the Act (Regulation S), the
issuance of our Common Stock is exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption provided by Rule
903 of Regulation S. However, we have obligations under the purchase agreement to register for
resale any shares of our Common Stock that may be issued as contingent consideration.
During February 2007, we issued 275,429 shares of our Common Stock, valued at approximately $7.6
million, to the former shareholders of Omega Logic as a portion of the consideration for all the
share capital of Omega Logic. The shares of our Common Stock were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 at the time of issuance. Because both the offer and issuance of our Common
Stock was made in an offshore transaction as contemplated by Regulation S, the issuance of our
Common Stock in this transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption provided by
Rule 903 of Regulation S. However, in accordance with our obligations under the Omega Logic
purchase agreement, we committed to file a registration statement with the SEC to enable the public
resale of the Common Stock received by the sellers of Omega Logic by April 30, 2007, which filing
was timely made.

Days prior to the proposed date of the issuance, extension or amendment, in the case of
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (B) 11:00 a.m. at least ten Business Days
prior to the proposed date of the issuance, extension or amendment, in the case of Letters
of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars (or, in each case, such later date
and time as the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular
instance in their sole discretion). In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a
Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the
applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit
(which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency 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; (G) the
purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit and (H) such other matters as the
applicable L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the applicable 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 applicable L/C Issuer may require.
Additionally, such
50
Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested
Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative
Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not,
the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless
the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any Credit Party, at least one 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 V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a
Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or Subsidiary) or enter into
the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the applicable
L/C Issuers 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 applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of
Credit in an amount equal to such Lenders Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.
(iii) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C
Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has
automatic extension provisions (each, an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable
L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period
(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to
the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the Non-Extension Notice Date) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon
at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable
L/C Issuer, such Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the such L/C
Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the
Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer
to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later
than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that the applicable L/C Issuer
shall not permit any such extension if (A) the applicable L/C Issuer has determined that it
would not be permitted or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of
Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions
of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by
telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the
Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have
elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is
not then satisfied, and in each case directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable L/C Application, the applicable L/C
Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that
permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after
any drawing thereunder (each, an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit). Unless
otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, such Borrower shall not be required to make
a specific request to the applicable L/C Issuer to permit such reinstatement. Once an
Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following
sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
applicable L/C Issuer to reinstate all or a portion of the
51
stated amount thereof in
accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
such Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the applicable L/C Issuer to decline to
reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by
giving notice of such non-reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing
(the Non-Reinstatement Deadline), the applicable L/C Issuer shall not permit such
reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or
before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Reinstatement Deadline (A) from
the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such
reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied
(treating such reinstatement as an L/C Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in
each case, directing the applicable L/C Issuer not to permit such reinstatement.
(v) 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
applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative
Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a
drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the applicable
Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit
denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the
applicable L/C Issuer in the same such currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option)
shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in
the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, such Borrower shall have
notified such L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that such Borrower will reimburse such L/C Issuer in
Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of
Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify
the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly
following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment
by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the
Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of
Credit to be reimbursed in a currency other than Dollars (each such date, an Honor
Date), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the
applicable currency. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C
Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor
Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the L/C Unreimbursed Amount), and
the amount of such Lenders Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the
applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or
Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month, as appropriate, to be disbursed
on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the L/C Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for such Loans, but subject to the
amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth
in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by an
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) 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.
52
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make
funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at
the Administrative Agents Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the L/C Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in
such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.03(c)(iii), each of the respective Lenders that so makes funds available shall be
deemed to have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan with
an Interest Period of one month, as appropriate, to the respective Borrower in such amount.
The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in
the applicable currency (or, if requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the equivalent
amount thereof in Dollars as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the
basis of the Spot Rate as of the funding date).
(iii) With respect to any L/C Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or
for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the
applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the L/C 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 Lenders payment
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) 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 2.03.
(iv) Until each respective Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn
under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lenders Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.
(v) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the
L/C Issuers for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section
2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
that such Lender may have against any L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any
reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lenders obligation to make Loans pursuant to this
Section is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery
of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the applicable Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount
of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with
interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender
(acting through the Administrative 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 applicable L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection
with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid),
the amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or
L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may
53
be. A certificate of
the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with
respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and
has received from any Lender such Lenders L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the applicable L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related L/C Unreimbursed
Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Lenders L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received
by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C
Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the applicable L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer its Revolving Commitment
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative 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 Overnight 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 Credit Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable
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 Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that a
Borrower 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), any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) 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;
(iv) any payment by an 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 an 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,
54
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;
(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant currency to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets
generally; or
(vi) 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, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.
Each Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment
thereto that is delivered to such Borrower and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with
such Borrowers instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will immediately notify the
applicable L/C Issuer. A Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim
against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of the L/C Issuers in such Capacity. Each of the Lenders and the Borrowers
agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuers 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 Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related
Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any 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 for the respective credit facility hereunder, 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. Each Borrower hereby
assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such
Borrowers use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not
intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrowers pursuing such rights and remedies as such
Borrower may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None
of the L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of
the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a
Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and the applicable L/C Issuer may be liable to
such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower that such Borrower proves were caused by the
applicable L/C Issuers willful misconduct or gross negligence or the applicable L/C Issuers
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 Issuers 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 Issuers 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, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g) Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if an 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 (B) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for
any reason remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash
Collateralize the then-
55
Outstanding Amount of its L/C Obligations; (ii) if the Administrative Agent
notifies the Borrowers at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time
exceeds 105% of the L/C Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of
such notice, the Domestic Borrowers, the F/X Borrowers or the India Borrowers, as applicable, shall
Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Sublimit; (iii) the Administrative Agent may, at any
time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional
Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations
and (iv) Sections 2.05 and 9.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to
deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. Each Domestic Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, each F/X Borrower hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the F/X L/C Issuer and the F/X Revolving Lenders, and each
India Borrower grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the India L/c Issuer and the
India Revolving 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 deposit accounts at Bank of America.
(h) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the an L/C Issuer and
a 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

L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Domestic Borrower
hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Domestic
Subsidiary inures to the benefit of such Domestic Borrower, and that such Domestic Borrowers business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Domestic Subsidiary.

derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Foreign Subsidiary.

obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter
of Credit. Each India Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit
for the account of any Subsidiary of the India Borrower inures to the benefit of such India
Borrower, and that such India Borrowers business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiary of the India Borrower.

2.04 Additional Provisions with respect to Swingline Loans.
(a) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made in Dollars upon a
Borrowers irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the
Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify
(i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested
borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Promptly after
receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm
with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing (A) directing the
Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in this
Article II, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article
V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender
will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Loan Notice, make the amount
of its Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account
of such Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender in immediately available funds.
(b) Refinancing.
(i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request,
on behalf of the applicable Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline
Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Loan that is a Base
Rate Loan or a Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month, as appropriate,
in an amount equal to such Lenders Revolving Commitment Percentage of Swingline Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed
to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth
in Section 5.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrowers with a
copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent
in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agents
Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject
to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to
have made a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or a Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan with an
Interest Period of one month, as appropriate, in such amount. The Administrative Agent
shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(i), the request for Revolving
Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request
by the Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swingline Loan and each Lenders payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect
of such participation.
57
(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(b) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(b)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Administrative 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 Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with
the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or
funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Revolving Lenders obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund
risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against
the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (C) non-compliance with the
conditions set forth in Section 5.02, or (D) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided however, that
each Lenders obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) is subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such purchase or funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Domestic Borrowers to
repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(c) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a
Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lenders risk participation was funded) in the
same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or
interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any
of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to
the Swingline Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such
amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Administrative
Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of
the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Revolving
Loan Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.
(d) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance
such Lenders Revolving Commitment
58
Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect thereof shall be solely for the account

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition

provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in
currencies other than Dollars, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at
the applicable Administrative Agents Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00
p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by
the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in a currency
other than Dollars shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agents Office in the same
such currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the
Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Credit Agreement
be made in the United States. If, for any reason, a Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making
any required payment hereunder in the applicable currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in
Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent thereof. The Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of such payment in like funds as received by wire
transfer to such Lenders Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i)
after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by
the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in currencies other than Dollars, shall in each
case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee
shall continue to accrue. Subject to the definition of Interest Period, if any payment to be
made by a Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or
fees, as the case may be.

or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share
available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such
share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fee
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in
the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent
for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lenders Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
68
(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which
any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C
Issuer hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or any L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees
to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing
under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to a Borrower as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set
forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligation of the Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to
make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on
any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so
make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.
(f) Allocation of Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by or are
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs
and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other
counsel and amounts payable under Article III) incurred by the Administrative Agent and
each Lender, (ii) second, toward repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.
2.12 Sharing of Payments By Lenders.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the
participations in L/C Obligations or in Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lenders
receiving payment of a
69
proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest
thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for
cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and
Swingline Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that
the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts
owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment
made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit
Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or
sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or
Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the
amount of such participation.
2.13 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
each applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Note for such
Lender, which shall evidence such Lenders Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each
Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender
and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or
records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit
and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
70
2.14 Designated Borrowers.

be a Designated Borrower hereunder and may receive Loans for its account on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Credit Agreement.
(b) The Borrowers may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days notice from the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Subsidiary (an
Applicant Borrower) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly
executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.14-1 (a
Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement). The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities
provided for herein, (i) in the case of any Applicant Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, the
Administrative Agent shall have received the written consent of the Lenders to such Foreign
Subsidiary being made Designated Borrower and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other
documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole
discretion, and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. If the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to
receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions,
incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative
Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.14-2 (a Designated
Borrower Notice) to the Borrowers and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the
Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of
the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and
conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise
shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Credit Agreement; provided that no Loan Notice
or Letter of Credit Application may be submitted by or on behalf of such Designated Borrower until
the date five Business Days after such effective date.
(c) The Obligations of the Domestic Borrowers and each Designated Borrower that is a Domestic
Subsidiary shall be joint and several in nature. The Obligations of each F/X Borrower and each
Designated Borrower that is a F/X Subsidiary shall be several, and not joint and several, in
nature. The Obligations of the India Borrowers and each Designated Borrower that is an India
Subsidiary shall be several, and not joint, in nature.
(d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that upon delivery of the documentation
provided for in this Section 2.14 in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, RIA
and its wholly-owned Subsidiary, Continental Exchange Solutions, may immediately become a
Designated Borrower hereunder without any further consent or vote of the Required Lenders.
(e) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.14 hereby irrevocably appoints (i) with respect to any requested Credit Extension of Domestic
Revolving Loans, Domestic Swingline Loans or Domestic L/C Obligations, EWI as its agent and (ii)
with respect to any requested Credit Extension of F/X Revolving Loans, F/X Swingline Loans or F/X
L/C Obligations, EWI as its agent and (iii) with respect to any requested Credit Extension of India
Revolving Loans, India Swingline Loans or India L/C Obligations, EWI as its agent, in each case for
all purposes relevant to this Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents, including
(1) the giving and receipt of notices, (2) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments
and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (3) the receipt of the
proceeds of any Loans made
71
by the Lenders, to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent,
direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given
or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given
or taken only by the respective party set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above,
whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent,
acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to such agent, as
applicable, for the Designated Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement shall
be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.
(f) The Borrowers may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days notice from the
Borrowers to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrowers status as such,
provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other
amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective
date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such
termination of a Designated Borrowers status.
2.15 Joint and Several Liability.
(a) Domestic Borrowers.
(i) Each Domestic Borrower accepts joint and several liability hereunder in
consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, for the mutual
benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Domestic Borrower and in consideration of the
undertakings of each Domestic Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the
obligations of each Domestic Borrower.
(ii) Each Domestic Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations
(whether borrowed by a Domestic Borrower or by an. F/X Borrower), regardless of which
Borrower actually receives Credit Extensions hereunder or the amount of such Credit
Extensions received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts
for such Credit Extensions on its books and records. Each Domestic Borrowers obligations
with respect to Credit Extensions made to it, and each Domestic Borrowers obligations
arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Domestic Borrower hereunder,
with respect to Credit Extensions made to and other Obligations owing by the other Borrowers
hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such obligations shall be
primary obligations of each Domestic Borrower.
(iii) Each Domestic Borrowers obligations arising as a result of the joint and several
liability of such Domestic Borrower hereunder with respect to Credit Extensions made to and
other Obligations owing by the other Borrowers hereunder shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (A) the validity or enforceability,
avoidance or subordination of the obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory
note or other document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any other Borrower,
(B) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, any other
guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the
same, (C) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument
evidencing the obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other
agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (D) the failure by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve
its
72
rights to, any security or collateral for the obligations of any other Borrower, (E)
the Administrative Agents or any Lenders election, in any proceeding instituted under the
Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (F) any
borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as Debtor In Possession
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (G) the disallowance of all or any portion of the
Administrative Agents or any Lenders claim(s) for the repayment of the obligations of any
other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (H) any other circumstances
which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any
other Borrower. With respect to each Domestic Borrowers obligations arising as a result of
the joint and several liability of such Domestic Borrower hereunder with respect to Credit
Extensions made to the other Borrowers hereunder, such Domestic Borrower waives, until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any
remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against
such Domestic Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations,
and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other
liability of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(iv) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice,
against any Domestic Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the
Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or
against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Domestic Borrower consents and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal
any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations.
(b) F/X Borrowers. The obligations of the F/X Borrowers under this Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents shall be several, and not joint, in nature (except as provided in
Article IV) and shall be limited to the F/X Obligations, provided that the F/X
Borrowers expressly waive any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the F/X
Obligations, or any of their officers, agents or representatives, exhaust any right, power or
remedy or first proceed under any of the Credit Documents or against any other Credit Party, any
other Person or any Collateral with respect to the F/X Obligations.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if
a Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other
Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower
shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the F/X Borrowers and the India Borrower are not required to make an increased payment to the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C
73
Issuer under this Section 3.01(a) for a Tax Deduction in respect of a tax imposed by
the United Kingdom from a payment of interest on a Loan, if on the date on which the payment falls
due:
(w) the payment could have been made to the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer
without a Tax Deduction if such Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer was a Qualifying
Lender, but on that date such Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, is
not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the
date it became the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an L/C Issuer 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
(x) (i) the relevant Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer is a Qualifying Lender
solely under sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of Qualifying Lender; (ii) 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 Administrative
Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer became a party to this Agreement) which relates to that payment
and that Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer has received from that that F/X
Borrower, India Borrower or the Borrower Agent, as applicable, a certified copy of that
Direction; and (iii) the payment could have been made to the F/X Borrower, India Borrower or
the Borrower Agent, as applicable, without any Tax Deduction in the absence of that
Direction; or
(y) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, is a Qualifying
Lender solely under sub-paragraph (b) of the definition of Qualifying Lender and it has not,
other than by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in (or in the
interpretation, administration, or application of) any law, or any published practice or
concession of any relevant taxing authority, given a Tax Confirmation to the Borrower Agent;
or
(z) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, is a Treaty Lender
and the F/X Borrower, India Borrower or the Borrower Agent, as applicable, making the
payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Administrative
Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, without the Tax Deduction had that
Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer completed all procedural formalities necessary
for that Obligor to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, each Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties,
interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority provided, that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were
not correctly or legally asserted, the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, will use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such
efforts would not, in the reasonable determination of the Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may
be, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or otherwise be disadvantageous to it.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
74
delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) 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 any Borrower is resident
for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by such Borrower or the Administrative 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 a
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
such Borrower or the Administrative 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 a Borrower is resident for tax
purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and the
Administrative 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 Credit Agreement (and from
time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Administrative 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 Internal Revenue 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 Internal Revenue Code, (B) a 10 percent shareholder of EWI within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a controlled foreign
corporation described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue 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 a Borrower to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Without limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain
forms and documents to establish each Lenders status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each
Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Borrower, as the
Administrative Agent or such Borrower shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date,
and in a timely fashion thereafter,
75
such other documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of
any other jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as are required under such Laws
to confirm such Lenders entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the U.S. by such
Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lenders status for
withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (i) notify the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such
claimed exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous
to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to entitle a Borrower to a reduction or exemption from a
requirement to make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender
under applicable laws of any such jurisdiction. Additionally, each Borrower shall promptly deliver
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such
documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction,
duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Credit Documents, with
respect to such jurisdiction.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C
Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to
such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such
Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain
or fund LIBOR Rate Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has
imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take
deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the
case of LIBOR Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Loans that are Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or,
if applicable and such Loans are denominated in Dollars, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR
76
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such LIBOR Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.
If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a
LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in Dollars or
a currency other than Dollars) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank
market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (b)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or
currency other than Dollars), or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
funding such LIBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and
each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans in the
affected currency or currencies shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR
Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the
amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Cost; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except (A) any reserve requirement
reflected in the LIBOR Rate) and (B) the requirements of the Bank of England and the
Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost,
other than as set forth below) or any L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of
Credit or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer);
(iii) the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, does not represent the cost to
any Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial
Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or
maintaining Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans; or
(iv) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
77
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase
the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter
of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C
Issuer, the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lenders or such L/C Issuers holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or such L/C Issuers capital or on
the capital of such Lenders or such L/C Issuers holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters
of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level
below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lenders or such L/C Issuers holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or
such L/C Issuers policies and the policies of such Lenders or such L/C Issuers holding company
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lenders or such L/C Issuers holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer
setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a)
or (b) of this Section and the manner of determining such amount or amounts and delivered
to any Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender or
such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days
after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lenders or such L/C Issuers right to demand such compensation, provided
that a Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be,
notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and
of such Lenders or such L/C Issuers intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as
applicable and for as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio
requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority
imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the LIBOR Rate Loans,
such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to
the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by
such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive),
which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,
provided such Borrower shall have received at least 10 days prior notice (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such
78
Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
3.05 Compensation for Losses.
Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the
applicable Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from
any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate
Loan or a Floating LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by a Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or a Floating
LIBOR Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower;
(c) any failure by a Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of
Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in a currency other than Dollars on its scheduled due
date or any payment thereof in a different currency;
(d) any assignment of a Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 11.13; or
(e) an assignment by Bank of America pursuant to Section 11.06(b) as part of the
primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans during the one hundred eighty (180)-day period
immediately following the Closing Date, provided that Bank of America agrees to use
reasonable efforts to reduce the breakage costs payable by the Borrowers in connection therewith
(including, without limitation, to the extent reasonably practical, closing such assignments at the
end of Interest Periods of outstanding Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans);
including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange
contract. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in
connection with the foregoing. Any demand for compensation shall set forth in reasonable detail
the amount and method of determining the loss, cost or expenses claimed.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the
Fixed LIBOR Base Rate used in determining the Fixed LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if
any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations
79
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.05, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for
the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the
Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.
3.07 Survival Losses.

stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization
or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Domestic Guarantors hereby
further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated

Credit Documents or Swap Contracts, the obligations of each Guarantor (in its capacity as such)
under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount
equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the
Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable Law.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
(a) The obligations of the Domestic Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity
or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or
any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security
for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, irrespective of
any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of
80
this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Domestic Guarantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Domestic Guarantor agrees that

expired or terminated.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing subsection, it is agreed that, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter
or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional
as described above:
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any
performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such
performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents,
or other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred
to therein shall be done or omitted;
(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under
any of the Credit Documents or any other documents relating to the Obligations or any other
agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of
the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole
or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Obligations as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
(v) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for
the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any
Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor).
(c) With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of acceptance of the guaranty given
hereby and of extensions of credit that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of
amendments, waivers, consents and supplements to the Credit Documents and other documents relating
to the Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all other
notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any holder of the
Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the
Credit Documents or any other documents relating to the Obligations or any other agreement or
instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or
security for, any of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
Neither the Guarantors obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall
be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification,
change, release or limitation of the liability of the Borrowers, by reason of any Borrowers
bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion
of the Obligations. In addition, the obligations of each Domestic Guarantor under this Article
IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or
on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by
any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any
81
Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Domestic Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each holder of the Obligations on demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative
Agent or such holder of the Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration,
including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such
payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief
Law.
4.04 Certain Waivers.
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced
without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other
security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse
against the Borrowers hereunder or against any collateral securing the Obligations or otherwise,
and (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against the Borrowers or
any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any
other right, and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against the
Borrowers hereunder, under the other Credit Documents or the other documents and agreements
relating to the Obligations or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating
hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if
neither the Borrowers nor the Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise
of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a
discharge of the Guarantors obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Obligations
shall have been paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or terminated,
it being the purpose and intent that the Guarantors obligations hereunder be absolute,
irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that
such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the
exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of
rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.
4.05 Remedies.
The Domestic Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between the
Domestic Guarantors, on the one hand, and holders of the Obligations, on the other hand, the
Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02
(and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances specified in
Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such
declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the
Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Domestic Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Domestic Guarantors
acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of
the Collateral Documents and that the holders of the Obligations may exercise their remedies
thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Domestic Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments
made hereunder, each Domestic Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Domestic
Guarantor in accordance with applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the Obligations until such time as the Obligations have
been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been
terminated, and none of the Domestic Guarantors
82
shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Obligations have been irrevocably paid
in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.
4.07 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.
The guarantee given by the Domestic Guarantors in this Article IV is a guaranty of
payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations
whenever arising.

Administrative Agent, and will not include Excluded Property. Further, the Administrative Agent,
in consultation with EWI, shall do an analysis of the relative benefits associated with the
prospective pledge and where, in its reasonable discretion, the Administrative Agent shall make a

ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT
10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act
on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and neither any
Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such
provisions.
(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Collateral Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and each Collateral
Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by
the terms of this Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere
herein or in any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Collateral
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Credit Agreement or any Collateral Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral
Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent
herein and in the Collateral Documents with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of
any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties. The Collateral Agent shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Collateral
and the Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents with respect to any
acts taken or omissions suffered by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Collateral or the
Collateral Documents as fully as if the term Administrative Agent as used in such Credit
Documents included the Collateral Agent with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided herein or in the Collateral Documents with respect to the Collateral Agent.
10.02 Rights as a Lender.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term Lender or Lenders shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with EWI or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such
Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
116
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit
Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided
for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law;
and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have
any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating
to EWI or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Administrative Agreement, any other Credit Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition
is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer
117
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section,
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 Administrative Agent or, if Trade Date is
specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less
than $5 million, in the case of Revolving Commitments, and $1 million, in the case
of the Tranche B Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each applicable Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met; and
127
(C) The value of the rights assigned or transferred must at least be EUR 50,000
(or its equivalent in other currencies) or, if the value is lower, the assignee or
transferee qualifies as a professional market party under the terms of the Dutch
Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht).
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations
under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except
that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swingline Lenders rights and
obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a
portion of its rights and obligations among its separate Revolving Commitments and Term Loan
Commitments on a non-pro rata basis;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:
(A) the consent of each applicable Borrower (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment
is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of
(1) any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender or (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved fund;
(C) the consent of the applicable L/C Issuer (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that
increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or
more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D) the consent of the applicable Swingline Lender (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of
a Revolving Commitment.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and
recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrowers. No such assignment shall be made to any
Borrower or any Borrowers Affiliate or Subsidiary.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.
128
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection
(c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Credit 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
Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lenders rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04,
3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the
effective date of such assignment. Upon request, each applicable 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 Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Credit 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 Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agents 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 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or any Borrower or any Borrowers Affiliate or Subsidiary) (each, a Participant)
in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lenders
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lenders obligations under this Credit 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 Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations
under this Credit 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 Credit Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit 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 described in the first proviso to
Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this
Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 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
11.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.12 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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
129
such Participant is made with each applicable 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 3.01 unless each applicable Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each such Borrower, to comply with
Sections 3.01(e) and 3.06 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 Credit 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.
(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 or Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America
may, (i) upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer
and/or (ii) upon thirty (30) days notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swingline Lender. In the
event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to
appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender 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 or Swingline Lender, as the case may be.
If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it 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 Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in
L/C Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as
Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder
with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the
appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) any successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of
credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the
obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a)
to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it
130
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any assignee or pledgee under Section 11.06(f) of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee or pledgee under Section 11.06(f) of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the applicable Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.
For purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from EWI or
any Subsidiary relating to EWI or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than
any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on
a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by EWI or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the
case of information received from EWI or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning EWI or any of its Subsidiaries,
as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including federal and state securities Laws.
11.08 Right of Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other
obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party against any
and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under
this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective
of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such
Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or
such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such
indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under
this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that
such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C
Issuer agrees to notify each applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.
131
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid
or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to
the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received
by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee,
or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Credit Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Credit Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Credit Agreement.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other
document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or
will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation
made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of
any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain
outstanding.
11.12 Severability.
If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
132
11.13 Replacement of Lenders.
If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) any Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) a Lender (a Non-Consenting Lender)
does not consent to a proposed amendment, consent, change, waiver, discharge or termination with
respect to any Credit Document that has been approved by the Required Lenders (including, without
limitation, by a failure to respond in writing to a proposed amendment by the date and time
specified by the Administrative Agent) as provided in Section 11.01 but requires unanimous
consent of all Lenders or all Lenders of a particular class of loans, or (d) any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by,
Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement
and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(i) the respective Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 11.06(b)(iv);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans and, with respect to Revolving Lenders, L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all
other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lenders failure to
consent to a proposed amendment, consent change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to
any Credit Document, the applicable replacement bank or financial institution consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination;
provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an
Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting
Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lenders Commitments and outstanding
Loans and, with respect to the Revolving Lenders, participations in L/C Obligations pursuant to
this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such
Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the respective
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit
Document), each Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
Affiliates understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit

hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange
used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent

Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the Judgment Currency) other than that in
which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement
(the Agreement Currency), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day

adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with
the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum
originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement
Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the

To the extent a German Obligor is jointly and severally liable under this Credit Agreement and

of the respective German Obligor (German Obligor Shareholder) or for liabilities of a
German Obligor Shareholders affiliate within the meaning of §§ 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation
Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than subsidiaries of the respective German Obligor) (such liability being
referred to as Up-Stream Liabilities) the respective German Credit Partys liability
shall be subject to the following restrictions.
(a) Limitation of Liability. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree not to
assert and enforce any Up-Stream Liabilities against the respective German Obligor to the extent
that the enforcement of such liabilities against the respective German Obligor would result in (i)
a reduction of the respective German Obligors Net Assets (Nettovermögen) (as defined in (b) 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 Borrowers registered share capital according to §§ 30, 31 of the German
Act on Limited Liability Companies (GmbHG).
(b) Determination of Net Assets Value. The value of the Net Assets (the Net
Assets) shall be calculated as the sum of the balance sheet items shown under § 266 subsection
2 lit. (A), (B) and (C) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), less the sum of the
balance sheet items shown under § 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 (Jahresabschluss according to §
42 German Act on Limited Liability Companies, §§ 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.
136
(c) Realization of Assets. If the respective German Obligor is of the opinion that an
enforcement of Up-Stream Liabilities against the respective German Obligor results in one of the
effects described in (a) above, the respective German Obligor shall notify promptly, however, no
later than one week after the Administrative Agent claims payment on any such liability against the
respective German Obligor, the amount of the Net Assets to the Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent disagrees with the amount of the Net Assets notified by the respective German
Obligor, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the respective German Obligor within one week
after receipt of the respective German Obligors notification of the Net Assets pursuant to the
preceding sentence. In this case the Administrative Agent shall engage a firm of auditors of
international standard and repute which shall proceed to review the accounts of the respective
German Obligor 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 (b) above. The Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the
respective German Obligor of the engagement of the auditor. The respective German Obligor 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 Administrative Agent
shall procure that the auditors forward the balance sheet and the determination of the Net Assets
to the respective German Obligor and the Administrative Agent with a copy to EWI, immediately after
their preparation. The Administrative Agent shall refrain from enforcing any Up-Stream Liabilities
until the respective German Obligor has received the auditors balance sheet and the determination
of the Net Assets, such determination being final and binding on the German Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(d) Realization of Assets. If the respective German Obligor is of the opinion that an
enforcement of an Up-Stream Liability results in one of the effects described in (a) above, the
respective German Obligor 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 if such assets are not necessary for operating the
respective German Obligors business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
(e) No Prejudice for Future Enforcement. No restriction of the assertion and
enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the respective German Obligor will prejudice the
rights of the Administrative Agent to enforce any still outstanding Up-Stream Liability against the
respective German Obligor in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the Credit
Documents, to the extent a situation having the effects described in (a) above subsequently ceases
to exist.
(f) No Limitation in Case of Passed on Loan Proceeds. The restrictions on the
assertion and enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the respective German Obligor set
forth in this Section 11.20 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 respective German Obligor to the extent that such proceeds are still outstanding at the time of
the enforcement of any Up-Stream Liability against the respective German Obligor.
(g) Adjustment of Registered Share Capital. For the purposes of this Section
11.20 the registered share capital of the respective German Obligor shall be adjusted by
deducting the amount of any increase in the respective German Obligors registered share capital,
resolved after the date of this Credit Agreement that (i) is made out of retained earnings (nominal
capital increase Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftmitteln) or (ii) is not fully paid up.

Schedule 1.01
MANDATORY COST FORMULAE
1. |
|
The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) 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 practicable thereafter) the
Administrative 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 Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders
Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender
in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The
Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Borrowers or any Lender, deliver to the
Borrowers or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth in reasonable detail
the calculation of any Mandatory Cost. |
|
3. |
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating
Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This
percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent as the
cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lenders participation in all Loans made from such
Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central
Bank in respect of Loans made from that Lending Office. |
|
4. |
|
The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom
will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows: |
|
(a) |
|
in relation to any Loan in the lawful currency of the United Kingdom (Sterling
or £): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01
|
|
per cent per annum |
|
|
100 - (A+C) |
|
|
|
(b) |
|
in relation to any Loan in any currency other than Sterling: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E x 0.01 |
|
per cent per annum |
|
|
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 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 Percentage, the
Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 2.08(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue
amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate
effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period
of such 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
Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. |
|
|
E |
|
is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees
Regulations and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the
most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £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 Regulations means 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 Regulations
under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated
fee required pursuant to the Fees Regulations 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 Regulations. |
6. |
|
In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as
percentages (i.e. 5% 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 Administrative Agent or the Company, each Lender with a Lending Office in
the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after
publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent and the
Borowers, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority
pursuant to the Fees Regulations in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial
Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee
Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per
£1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender. |
|
8. |
|
Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose
of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender
shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes
a Lender: |
|
(a) |
|
its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of the Lending Office
out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Loan; and |
|
(b) |
|
any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for
such purpose. |
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the
information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9. |
|
The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A, C and
E above shall be determined by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lenders
obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits, Special Deposits and the Fees Regulations are
the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Lending
Office in the same jurisdiction as such Lenders Lending Office. |
|
10. |
|
The Administrative 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 pursuant to paragraphs 3,
7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects. |
|
11. |
|
The Administrative 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 pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and
8 above. |
|
12. |
|
Any determination by the Administrative 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 hereto. |
|
13. |
|
The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company 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 hereto. |

events, the numbers, rights and privileges of (i) the Shares as to which Awards may be granted
under the Plan, (ii) the exercise or purchase price of each outstanding Award, and (iii) the
Shares then included in each outstanding Award granted hereunder, shall be increased,
decreased or changed in like manner, as if the Shares underlying the Award had been issued and

which Awards are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.03 is to be determined by the Board or
the Committee; provided that all adjustments must be determined by the Board or Committee |

judgment of the Committee, are performing, or during the term of their incentive arrangement
will perform, important services in the management, operation and development of the Company,
and significantly contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to the achievement
of long-term corporate economic objectives. Participants may also include Service Providers
who, in the Committees discretion, are entitled to receive Awards as an inducement to perform
services for the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that an Award Agreement may contain terms
and conditions providing for the termination of such inducement Award in the event that such
Service Provider is not retained to perform services for the Company with the period specified
therein. |
|
5.02 |
|
Types of Grants; Limits. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Awards;
provided, however, that the grant of each such Award shall be separately approved by the
Committee or its designee, and receipt of one such Award shall not result in the automatic
receipt of any other Award. Written notice shall be given to such Person, specifying the
terms, conditions, right and duties related to such Award. Under no circumstance shall
Incentive Stock Options be granted to (i) non-employee directors, (ii) Consultants, (iii) any
prospective non-employee director, employee or consultant, or (iv) any person not permitted to
receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. |
|
5.03 |
|
Award Agreements. Each Participant shall enter into an Award Agreement(s) with the Company,
in such form as the Committee shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of
the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties. Unless otherwise explicitly
stated in the Award Agreement, Awards shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified
in the grant resolution of the Committee, which date shall be the date of any related
agreement(s) with the Participant. Unless explicitly provided for in a particular Award
Agreement that the terms of the Plan are being superseded, in |
11
|
|
the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such Award
Agreement(s) entered into hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. |
|
5.04 |
|
Restrictive Covenants. The Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, place certain
restrictive covenants in an Award Agreement requiring the Participant to agree to refrain from
certain actions. Such Restrictive Covenants, if contained in the Award Agreement, will be
binding on the Participant. |
|
(a) |
|
Maximum Annual Award. The maximum number of Shares with respect to which an
Award or Awards may be granted to any Participant in any one taxable year of the
Company (the Maximum Annual Participant Award) shall not exceed Four Hundred Thousand
(400,000) Shares (increased, proportionately, in the event of any stock split or stock
dividend with respect to the Shares). The Maximum Annual Participant Award shall
include any Bonus Shares that are paid to a Participant in a taxable year pursuant to
the achievement of one or more established and objective performance goals under the
Companys Executive Annual Incentive Plan or pursuant to any other Company-sponsored
compensation plan or program. If an Option is in tandem with a SAR, such that the
exercise of the Option or SAR with respect to a Share cancels the tandem SAR or Option
right, respectively, with respect to each Share, the tandem Option and SAR rights with
respect to each Share shall be counted as covering but one Share for purposes of the
Maximum Annual Participant Award. |
VI. STOCK OPTIONS
6.01 |
|
Grant of Options. A Participant may be granted one or more Options. The Committee in its
sole discretion shall designate whether an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonqualified Stock Option. The Committee may grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a
Nonqualified Stock Option to the same Participant at the same time or at different times.
Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options, whether granted at the same or
different times, shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants, shall be clearly
identified, and in no event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any
other Option or affect the number of Shares for which any other Option may be exercised. |
|
6.02 |
|
Option Agreements. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Option
Award Agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the
Option is granted (the Option Holder), and which shall contain the following terms and
conditions, as well as such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith, as the
Committee may consider appropriate in each case. |
|
(a) |
|
Number of Shares. Each Option Award Agreement shall state that it covers a
specified number of Shares, as determined by the Committee. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Option Holder during
any calendar year exceeds $100,000 or, if different, the
maximum limitation in effect at the time of grant under section 422(d) of the |
12
|
|
|
Code,
or any successor provision, such Options in excess of such limit shall be treated as
Nonqualified Stock Options. The foregoing shall be applied by taking Options into
account in the order in which they were granted. For the purposes of the foregoing,
the Fair Market Value of any Share shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such Share is granted. In the event the foregoing results in a
portion of an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option exceeding the $100,000
limitation, only such excess shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Price. Each Option Award Agreement shall state the Option Exercise Price at
which each Share covered by an Option may be purchased. Such Option Exercise Price
shall be determined in each case by the Committee; provided, however, that the Option
Exercise Price for each Share covered by an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less
than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Options Grant Date and provided further
that the Incentive Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee who then owns stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company or any parent or Subsidiary corporation of the Company must be at least
110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the
Options Grant Date. |
|
|
(c) |
|
Duration of Options. Each Option Award Agreement shall state the period of
time, determined by the Committee, within which the Option may be exercised by the
Option Holder (the Option Period). The Option Period must expire, in all cases, not
more than ten years from the Options Grant Date; provided, however, that the Option
Period of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee who then owns Stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of
the Company must expire not more than five years from the Options Grant Date. Each
Option Award Agreement shall also state the periods of time, if any, as determined by
the Committee, when incremental portions of each Option shall become exercisable. If
any Option or portion thereof is not exercised during its Option Period, such
unexercised portion shall be deemed to have been forfeited and have no further force or
effect. Due to Code section 409As treatment of an extension or renewal of an Option as
the granting of a new Option, the Committee shall not extend or renew the term of an
Option without the consent of the Holder. |
|
|
(d) |
|
Termination of Service, Death, Disability, etc. Each Option Agreement shall
state the period of time, if any, determined by the Committee, within which the Vested
Option may be exercised after an Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider on
account of the Participants death, Disability, voluntary resignation, removal from the
Board or the Company having terminated such Option Holders employment with or without
Cause. |
|
|
(e) |
|
Transferability. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, Options
shall not be transferable by the Option Holder except by will or pursuant to the laws
of descent and distribution. Each Vested Option shall be exercisable during the |
13
|
|
|
Option Holders lifetime only by him or her, or in the event of Disability or incapacity,
by his or her guardian or legal representative. Shares issuable pursuant to any
Option shall be delivered only to or for the account of the Option Holder, or in the
event of Disability or incapacity, to his or her guardian or legal representative. |
|
|
(f) |
|
Exercise, Payments, etc. |
|
(i) |
|
Unless otherwise provided in the Option Award Agreement, each
Vested Option may be exercised by delivery to the Corporate Secretary of the
Company a written notice specifying the number of Shares with respect to which
such Option is exercised and payment of the Option Exercise Price. Such notice
shall be in a form satisfactory to the Committee or its designee and shall
specify the particular Vested Option that is being exercised and the number of
Shares with respect to which the Vested Option is being exercised. The exercise
of the Vested Option shall be deemed effective upon receipt of such notice by
the Corporate Secretary and payment to the Company. The purchase of such Stock
shall take place at the principal offices of the Company upon delivery of such
notice, at which time the purchase price of the Stock shall be paid in full by
any of the methods or any combination of the methods set forth in (ii) below. |
|
|
(ii) |
|
The Option Exercise Price shall be paid by any of the following
methods: |
|
1. |
|
Cash or Certified bank check; |
|
|
2. |
|
By delivery to the Company of certificates
representing the number of Shares then owned by the Holder, the Fair
Market Value of which equals the purchase price of the Stock purchased
pursuant to the Vested Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the
Company; provided, however, that Shares used for this purpose must have
been held by the Holder for such minimum period of time as may be
established from time to time by the Committee; and provided further
that the Fair Market Value of any Shares delivered in payment of the
purchase price upon exercise of the Options shall be the Fair Market
Value as of the exercise date, which shall be the date of delivery of
the certificates for the Stock used as payment of the Option Exercise
Price. |
|
|
|
|
In lieu of actually surrendering to the Company the stock
certificates representing the number of Shares then owned by the
Holder, the Committee may, in its discretion permit the Holder to
submit to the Company a statement affirming ownership by the Holder
of such number of Shares and request that such Shares, although not
actually surrendered, be deemed to have been
surrendered by the Holder as payment of the exercise price. |
14
|
3. |
|
For any Holder other than an Executive Officer
or except as otherwise prohibited by the Committee, by payment through
a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the
Federal Reserve Board. |
|
|
4. |
|
Any combination of the consideration provided
in the foregoing subsections (1), (2) and (3). |
|
(iii) |
|
The Company shall not guarantee a third-party loan obtained by
a Holder to pay part or the entire Option Exercise Price of the Shares. |
|
(g) |
|
Date of Grant. Unless otherwise specifically specified in the Option Award
Agreement, an option shall be considered as having been granted on the date specified
in the grant resolution of the Committee. |
|
|
(h) |
|
Withholding. |
|
(i) |
|
Nonqualified Stock Options. Upon any exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Options, the Option Holder shall make appropriate
arrangements with the Company to provide for the minimum amount of additional
withholding required by applicable federal and state income tax and payroll
laws, including payment of such taxes through delivery of Stock or by
withholding Stock to be issued under the Option, as provided in Section 16. |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Incentive Stock Options. In the event that an Option Holder
makes a disposition (as defined in section 424(c) of the Code) of any Stock
acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the
later of (a) the expiration of two years from the date on which the Incentive
Stock Option was granted or (b) the expiration of one year from the date on
which the Option was exercised, the Participant shall send written notice to
the Company at its principal office (Attention: Corporate Secretary) of the
date of such disposition, the number of shares disposed of, the amount of
proceeds received from such disposition, and any other information relating to
such disposition as the Company may reasonably request. The Option Holder
shall, in the event of such a disposition, make appropriate arrangements with
the Company to provide for the amount of additional withholding, if any,
required by applicable Federal and state income tax laws. |
|
(i) |
|
Adjustment of Options. Subject to the limitations set forth below and those
contained in Sections 6 and 15, the Committee may make any adjustment in the Option
Exercise Price, the number of Shares subject to, or the terms of, an outstanding Option
and a subsequent granting of an Option by amendment or by
substitution of an outstanding Option. Such amendment, substitution, or re-grant
may result in terms and conditions (including Option Exercise Price, number of
Shares covered, vesting schedule or exercise period) that differ from the terms |
15
|
|
|
and conditions of the original Option. The Committee may not, however, adversely affect
the rights of any Option Holder to previously granted Options without the consent of
such Option Holder. If such action is affected by the amendment, the effective date
of such amendment shall be the date of the original grant. Any adjustment,
modification, extension or renewal of an Option shall be effected such that the
Option is either exempt from, or is compliant with, Code section 409A. |
6.03 |
|
Stockholder Privileges. No Holder shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any
Shares covered by an Option until the Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, and
no adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights as to which
there is a record date preceding the date such Holder becomes the holder of record of such
Stock, except as provided in Section 4. |
VII. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
7.01 |
|
Grant of SARs. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, a SAR may be granted to a
Participant at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion. The Committee may grant Freestanding SARs or Tandem SARs, or any combination
thereof. |
|
(a) |
|
Number of Shares. The Committee shall have complete discretion to determine
the number of SARs granted to any Participant, subject to the limitations imposed in
this Plan and by applicable law. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Exercise Price and Other Terms. The Committee, subject to the provisions of
this Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs
granted under this Plan. The exercise price per Share of Tandem SARs shall equal the
exercise price per Share of the related Option. In no event shall a SAR granted to a
Section 16 Person become exercisable until at least six (6) months after the Date of
Grant or such shorter period as may be permissible while maintaining compliance with
Rule 16b-3. |
7.02 |
|
SAR Award Agreement. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written SAR
Award Agreement which shall be entered into by the Company and the Participant to whom the SAR
is granted (the SAR Holder), and which shall specify the exercise price per share, the terms
of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee
in its sole discretion shall determine. |
|
7.03 |
|
Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject
to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of
the related Option. A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which
its related Option is then exercisable. With respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection
with an Incentive Stock Option: (a) the Tandem SAR shall expire
no later than the expiration of the underlying Incentive Stock Option; (b) the value of the
payout with respect to the Tandem SAR shall be for no more than one hundred percent (100%)
of the difference between the Exercise Price per Share of the underlying |
16
|
|
Incentive Stock
Option and the Fair Market Value per Share of the Shares subject to the underlying
Incentive Stock Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (c) the Tandem SAR shall be
exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per Share of the Shares subject to the Incentive
Stock Option exceeds the per share Option Price per Share of the Incentive Stock Option. |
|
7.04 |
|
Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable on such terms and
conditions as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine; provided, however, that no
Freestanding SAR granted to a Section 16 Person shall be exercisable until at least six (6)
months after the Date of Grant or such shorter period as may be permissible while maintaining
compliance with Rule 16b-3. |
|
7.05 |
|
Expiration of SARs. A SAR granted under this Plan shall expire on the date set forth in the
SAR Award Agreement, which date shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the SAR Award Agreement, a Freestanding SAR
granted under this Plan shall terminate according to the same rules under which a Nonqualified
Stock Option would terminate in the event of a SAR Holders termination of employment, death
or Disability as provided for in the SAR Award Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically
provided for in the SAR Award agreement, a Tandem SAR granted under this Plan shall be
exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent that the related Option is
exercisable. The Tandem SAR shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination
or exercise of the related Options, except that Tandem SARs granted with respect to less than
the full number of shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until the exercise
or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the SARs. |
|
7.06 |
|
Payment of SAR Amount. Upon exercise of a SAR, a Holder shall be entitled to receive payment
from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the positive difference between
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share by
(ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The payment upon a SAR
exercise may be in whole Shares of equivalent value, cash, or a combination of whole Shares
and cash. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. |
VIII. AWARDS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
8.01 |
|
Restricted Stock Awards Granted by Committee. Coincident with or following designation for
participation in the Plan and subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee,
at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock to any Service Provider in such
amounts as the Committee shall determine. |
|
8.02 |
|
Restricted Stock Unit Awards Granted by Committee. Coincident with or following designation
for participation in the Plan and subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan, The Committee may grant a Service Provider Restricted Stock Units, in connection with
or separate from a grant of Restricted Stock. Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock Units,
the Holder shall be entitled to receive the full value of the Restricted Stock Units payable
in either Shares or cash. |
17
8.03 |
|
Restrictions. A Holders right to retain Shares of Restricted Stock or be paid with respect
to Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions, including but not limited to,
him or her continuing to perform as a Service Provider for a restriction period specified by
the Committee, or the attainment of specified performance goals and objectives, as may be
established by the Committee with respect to such Award. The Committee may in its sole
discretion require different periods of service or different performance goals and objectives
with respect to (i) different Holders, (ii) different Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Unit Awards, or (iii) separate, designated portions of the Shares constituting a Restricted
Stock Award. Any grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall contain terms such
that the Award is either exempt from Code section 409A or complies with such section. |
|
8.04 |
|
Privileges of a Stockholder, Transferability. Unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, a Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with
respect to Shares of Restricted Stock, provided however that any dividends paid on Shares of
Restricted Stock prior to such Shares becoming vested shall be held in escrow by the Company
and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying
Shares of Restricted Stock. Any voting, dividend, liquidation or other rights shall accrue to
the benefit of a Holder only with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock held by, or for the
benefit of, the Holder on the record date of any such dividend or voting date. A Participants
right to sell, encumber or otherwise transfer such Restricted Stock shall, in addition to the
restrictions otherwise provided for in the Award Agreement, be subject to the limitations of
Section 12.02 hereof. The Committee may determine that a Holder of Restricted Stock Units is
entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments on such units. If the Committee determines
that Restricted Stock Units shall receive dividend equivalent payments, such feature will be
specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Restricted Stock Units shall not have any voting
rights. |
|
8.05 |
|
Enforcement of Restrictions. The Committee may in its sole discretion require one or more of
the following methods of enforcing the restrictions referred to in Sections 8.02 and 8.03: |
|
(a) |
|
placing a legend on the stock certificates, or the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Agreement, as applicable, referring to restrictions; |
|
|
(b) |
|
requiring the Holder to keep the stock certificates, duly endorsed, in the
custody of the Company while the restrictions remain in effect; |
|
|
(c) |
|
requiring that the stock certificates, duly endorsed, be held in the custody of
a third party nominee selected by the Company who will hold such Shares of Restricted
Stock on behalf of the Holder while the restrictions remain in effect; or |
|
|
(d) |
|
inserting a provision into the Restricted Stock Award Agreement prohibiting
assignment of such Award Agreement until the terms and conditions or restrictions
contained therein have been satisfied or released, as applicable. |
18
8.06 |
|
Termination of Service, Death, Disability, etc. In the event of the death or Disability of a
Participant, all service period and other restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock Awards
then held by him or her shall lapse, and such Awards shall become fully nonforfeitable.
Subject to Section 11, in the event a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any
other reason, any Restricted Stock Awards as to which the service period or other vesting
conditions for have not been satisfied shall be forfeited. |
IX. PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS
9.01 |
|
Awards Granted by Committee. Coincident with or following designation for participation in
the Plan, a Participant may be granted Performance Shares or Performance Units. |
|
9.02 |
|
Amount of Award. The Committee shall establish a maximum amount of a Holders Award, which
amount shall be denominated in Shares in the case of Performance Shares or in dollars in the
case of Performance Units. |
|
9.03 |
|
Communication of Award. Written notice of the maximum amount of a Holders Award and the
Performance Period determined by Committee shall be given to a Participant as soon as
practicable after approval of the Award by the Committee. |
|
9.04 |
|
Amount of Award Payable. The Committee shall establish maximum and minimum performance
targets to be achieved during the applicable Performance Period. Performance targets
established by the Committee shall relate to corporate, group, unit or individual performance
and may be established in terms of (i) specified levels of earnings per share from continuing
operations, (ii) operating income, (iii) revenues, (iv) gross margin, (v) return on operating
assets (whether all assets or designated assets), (vi) return on equity, (vii) economic value
added, (viii) stock price appreciation, (ix) total stockholder return (measured in terms of
stock price appreciation and dividend growth), (x) net income, (xi) debt reduction, (xii) cost
control, or (xiii) such other measures or standards determined by the Committee. Multiple
performance targets may be used and the components of multiple performance targets may be
given the same or different weighting in determining the amount of an Award earned, and may
relate to absolute performance or relative performance measured against other groups, units,
individual or entities. Achievement of the maximum performance target shall entitle the Holder
to payment (subject to Section 9.06) at the full or maximum amount specified with respect to
the Award: provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, in the
case of an Award of Performance Shares the Committee in its discretion may establish an upper
limit on the amount payable (whether in cash or Stock) as a result of the achievement of the
maximum performance target. The Committee may also establish that a portion of a full or
maximum amount of a Holders Award will be paid (subject to Section 9.06)
for performance which exceeds the minimum performance target but falls below the
maximum performance target applicable to such Award. |
|
9.05 |
|
Adjustments. At any time prior to payment of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award,
the Committee may adjust previously established performance targets or other |
19
|
|
terms and conditions to reflect events such as changes in law, regulations, or accounting practice, or
mergers acquisitions or divestitures. |
|
9.06 |
|
Payment of Awards. Following the conclusion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall
determine the extent to which performance targets have been attained, and the satisfaction of
any other terms and conditions with respect to an Award relating to such Performance Period.
The Committee shall determine what, if any, payment is due with respect to an Award and
whether such payment shall be made in cash, Stock or some combination. Payment shall be made
in a lump sum, as determined by the Committee, commencing as promptly as practicable following
the end of the applicable Performance Period, subject to such terms and conditions and in such
forms as may be prescribed by the Committee. All Awards shall be paid no later than March 15th
of the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Committee determines that a Participant
is entitled to receive the performance award. |
|
9.07 |
|
Termination of Employment. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason
other than having been terminated for Cause after the end of a Performance Period yet before
receiving payment as provided for in Section 9.06, the Holder (or the Holders Beneficiaries)
shall be entitled to receive the full amount payable as soon as practicable after such amount
has been determined by the Committee. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider before the
end of a Performance Period by reason of his or her death or Disability, the Performance
Period for such Holder for the purpose of determining the amount of the Award payable shall
end at the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date on which such Holder
ceased to be a Service Provider. The amount of an Award payable to a Holder to whom the
preceding sentence is applicable shall be paid at the end of the Performance Period and shall
be that fraction of the Award computed pursuant to the preceding sentence the numerator of
which is the number of calendar quarters during the Performance Period during all of which
said Holder was a Service Provider and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar
quarters in the Performance Period. In the event a Holder is terminated as a Service Provider
for Cause, either before the end of the Performance Period or after the end of the Performance
Period but prior to the amount of the Award having been paid, the Holders participation in
the Plan shall cease, all outstanding Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units to
such Participant and any right to receive the payment for any Awards (whether or not any
Performance Period has been completed) shall be canceled. |
X. BONUS SHARES
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may grant Bonus Shares to any Participant in such
amount and upon such terms and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the
Committee. The Committee may grant such Bonus Shares in connection with or pursuant to
another Company-sponsored compensation plan or program.
XI. REORGANIZATION, CHANGE IN CONTROL OR LIQUIDATION
11.01 |
|
Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other agreement approved by the
Committee to which any Participant is a party, in the event that within the period |
20
|
|
commencing on a Change in Control and ending on the first anniversary of the Change in Control, a
Participant resigns for Good Reason or the Company terminates the Participants employment
other than for cause, each Option, share of Restricted Stock and/or other Award shall without
regard to any vesting schedule, restriction or performance target, automatically become fully
exercisable, fully vested or fully payable, as the case may be, as of the date of such
termination of employment; provided, however, to the extent required by Code section 409A, if
the Participant was a specified employee as defined under Code section 409A as of the time
of such Participants separation from service, no share of Restricted Stock or other Award
shall become payable until six months and one day from the effective date of such
Participants separation from service. |
|
11.02 |
|
In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Company undergoes a Change in Control or in
the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, major acquisition of property (or stock),
separation, reorganization or liquidation in which the Company is a party and in which a
Change in Control does not occur, the Committee, or the board of directors of any corporation
assuming the obligations of the Company, shall have the full power and discretion to take any
one or more of the following actions: |
|
(a) |
|
Without reducing the economic value of outstanding Awards, prescribe and amend
the terms and conditions for the exercise of, or settlement of, outstanding Awards
granted hereunder; |
|
|
(b) |
|
Remove restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; |
|
|
(c) |
|
Provide that Options or SARs granted hereunder must be exercised in connection
with the closing of such transactions, and that if not so exercised such Options or
SARs will expire; or |
|
|
(d) |
|
Cause any Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights of equivalent
economic value substituted therefore, by the acquiring or surviving corporation. |
|
|
Any such determinations by the Committee may be made generally with respect to all
Participants, or may be made on a case-by-case basis with respect to particular
Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction undertaken for the purpose of
reincorporating the Company under the laws of another jurisdiction, if such transaction does
not materially affect the beneficial ownership of the Companys Shares, such transaction
shall not constitute a merger, consolidation, major acquisition of property for stock,
separation, reorganization, liquidation, or Change in Control. |
XII. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES; PARTICIPANTS
12.01 |
|
Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award granted under the Plan shall
confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her services
as a Service Provider or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the
terms of any separate employment or consulting agreement to the contrary, at any time to
terminate such services or to increase or decrease the compensation of the |
21
|
|
Participant from
the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an Award. Whether an authorized leave of
absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute a termination of
Participants services as a Service Provider shall be determined by the Committee at the time. |
|
12.02 |
|
Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 12.03, no right or interest of any Holder
in an Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable during the
lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or be subjected to any lien,
directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or otherwise, including execution, levy,
garnishment, attachment, pledge or bankruptcy. In the event of a Participants death, a
Holders rights and interests in all Awards shall, to the extent not otherwise prohibited
hereunder, be transferable by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made to, and exercise of any Options or
SARs may be made by, the Holders legal representatives, heirs or legatees. If, in the opinion
of the Committee, a person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan
is disabled from caring for his or her affairs because of a mental condition, physical
condition or age, payment due such person may be made to, and such rights shall be exercised
by, such persons guardian, conservator, or other legal personal representative upon
furnishing the Committee with evidence satisfactory to the Committee of such status.
Transfers shall not be deemed to include transfers to the Company or cashless exercise
procedures with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise
facilitate) the exercise of Awards consistent with applicable laws and the authorization of
the Committee. |
|
12.03 |
|
Permitted Transfers. Pursuant to conditions and procedures established by the Committee
from time to time, the Committee may permit Awards to be transferred to, exercised by and paid
to certain persons or entities related to a Participant, including but not limited to members
of the Participants immediate family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities
whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participants immediate family
and/or charitable institutions (a Permitted Transferee). In the case of initial Awards, at
the request of the Participant, the Committee may permit the naming of the related person or
entity as the Award recipient. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to the condition that
the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate
and/or tax planning purposes on a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration
(other than nominal consideration). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incentive Stock Options
shall only be transferable to the extent permitted in section 422 of the Code, or such
successor provision thereto, and the treasury regulations thereunder. |
XIII. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS
13.01 |
|
Investment Representations. The Company may require any person to whom an Option or other
Award is granted, as a condition of exercising such Option or receiving Stock under the Award,
to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel
to the effect that such person is acquiring the Stock subject to the Option or the Award for
his own account for investment and not with any present |
22
|
|
intention of selling or otherwise
distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate
in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Legends evidencing such
restrictions may be placed on the certificates evidencing the Stock. |
|
13.02 |
|
Compliance with Securities Laws. |
|
(a) |
|
Each Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to
the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the
Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal
law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as
a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder,
such Award may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained
on conditions acceptable to the Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require
the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification. |
|
|
(b) |
|
Each Holder who is a director or an Executive Officer is restricted from taking
any action with respect to any Award if such action would result in a (i) violation of
Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, whether or not such law and regulations are applicable to the Company, or
(ii) any policies adopted by the Company restricting transactions in the Stock. |
13.03 |
|
Stock Restriction Agreement. The Committee may provide that Shares issuable upon the
exercise of an Option shall, under certain conditions, be subject to restrictions whereby the
Company has (i) a right of first refusal with respect to such shares, (ii) specific rights or
limitations with respect to the Participants ability to vote such shares, or (iii) a right or
obligation to repurchase all or a portion of such shares, which restrictions may survive a
Participants cessation or termination as a Service Provider. |
XIV. OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of the exercise
of an Option or the grant, payment or vesting of any other Award shall not constitute earnings
with respect to which any other benefits of such Participant are determined, including without
limitation benefits under (a) any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary continuation
plan or other employee benefit plan of the Company or (b) any agreement between
the Company and the Participant, except as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly
provide.
XV. PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
15.01 |
|
Amendment, Modification, and Termination. The Board may at any time terminate, and from
time to time may amend or modify, the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or
modification may become effective without approval of the amendment or |
23
|
|
modification by the
stockholders if stockholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any applicable
statutory or regulatory requirements, to comply with the requirements for listing on any
exchange where the Shares are listed, or if the Company, on the advice of counsel, determines
that stockholder approval is otherwise necessary or desirable. |
|
15.02 |
|
Adjustment Upon Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Board may make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including
the events described in Section 4.03) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the
Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the
Board determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan. |
|
15.03 |
|
Awards Previously Granted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary
(but subject to Section 2.01(i) and Section 15.02), no termination, amendment or modification
of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the
Plan, without the written consent of the Holder of such Award. |
XVI. WITHHOLDING
16.01 |
|
Withholding Requirement. The Companys obligations to deliver Shares upon the exercise of
an Option, or upon the vesting of any other Award, shall be subject to the Holders
satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and other tax withholding
requirements. |
|
16.02 |
|
Withholding with Stock. For Eligible Employees, the Company may permit the Holder to pay
all minimum required amounts of tax withholding, or any part thereof, by electing to transfer
to the Company, or to have the Company withhold from Shares otherwise issuable to the Holder,
Shares having a value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld under federal, state
or local law or such lesser amount as may be elected by the Holder. For non-employees,
including non-employee directors, the Company may also permit the Holder to transfer to the
Company or have the Company withhold from Shares otherwise issuable to the Holder, an amount
of Shares determined by the Holder necessary to cover applicable federal, state or local
income or self-employment taxes relating to the exercise, vesting or payment of the Award.
All elections shall be subject to the approval or disapproval of the Committee or its
delegate. The value of Shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the Tax Date),
as determined by the Committee. Any such
elections by Holder to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be subject to the
following restrictions: |
|
(a) |
|
All elections must be made prior to the Tax Date; |
|
|
(b) |
|
All elections shall be irrevocable; and |
24
|
(c) |
|
If the Holder is an officer or director of the Company within the meaning of
Section 16 of the 1934 Act (Section 16), the Holder must satisfy the requirements of
such Section 16 and any applicable rules thereunder with respect to the use of Stock to
satisfy such tax withholding obligation. |
XVII. SECTION 162(m) PROVISIONS
17.01 |
|
Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Committee determines
at the time any Award is granted to a Participant that such Participant is, or is likely to be
at the time he or she recognizes income for federal income tax purposes in connection with
such Award, a Covered Employee, then the Committee may provide that this Section 17 is
applicable to such Award. |
|
17.02 |
|
Performance Goals. If an Award is subject to this Section 17, then the lapsing of
restrictions thereon and the distribution of cash, Shares or other property pursuant thereto,
as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance goals
established by the Committee, which shall be based on the attainment of one or any combination
of the following: |
|
(a) |
|
Earnings (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share basis); |
|
|
(b) |
|
Growth or rate of growth in earnings (either in the aggregate or on a per-Share
basis); |

|
(h) |
|
Operating and maintenance cost management and employee productivity; |
|
|
(i) |
|
Stockholder returns (including return on assets, investments, equity, or gross
sales); |
|
|
(j) |
|
Return measures (including return on assets, equity, or sales); |
|
|
(k) |
|
Growth or rate of growth in return measures (including return on assets,
equity, or sales); |
25
|
(l) |
|
Share price (including attainment of a specified per-Share price during the
Incentive Period; growth measures and total stockholder return or attainment by the
Shares of a specified price for a specified period of time); |
|
|
(m) |
|
Strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on
meeting specified revenue, market share, market penetration, geographic business
expansion goals, objectively identified project milestones, production volume levels,
cost targets, and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures; and/or |
|
|
(n) |
|
Achievement of business or operational goals such as market share and/or
business development; |
|
|
provided that applicable incentive goals may be applied on a pre- or post-tax basis; and
provided further that the Committee may, when the applicable incentive goals are
established, provide that the formula for such goals may include or exclude items to measure
specific objectives, such as losses from discontinued operations, extraordinary gains or
losses, the cumulative effect of accounting changes, acquisitions or divestitures, foreign
exchange impacts and any unusual, nonrecurring gain or loss. In addition to the foregoing
performance goals, the performance goals shall also include any performance goals which are
set forth in the Companys Executive Annual Incentive Plan, if any, which has been approved
by the Companys stockholders, which are incorporated herein by reference. Such performance
goals shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall
otherwise comply with the requirements of, section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
thereunder. |
17.03 |
|
Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan other than Section 4.03 or Section
11, with respect to any Award that is subject to Section 17, the Committee may not adjust
upwards the amount payable pursuant to such Award, nor may it waive the achievement of the
applicable performance goals except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant. |
|
17.04 |
|
Other Restrictions. The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on
Awards subject to this Section 17 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to insure that such
Awards satisfy all requirements for performance-based compensation within the meaning of
section 162(m)(4)(B) of the Code or any successor thereto. |
XVIII. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN
18.01 |
|
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to stockholders
of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power or
authority of the Board to continue to maintain or adopt such other or additional incentive or
other compensation arrangements of whatever nature as the Board
may deem necessary or desirable or preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan,
practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to employees, or
non-employee directors generally, or to any class or group of employees, or non-employee
directors, which the Company now has lawfully put into effect, including, |
26
|
|
without limitation, any retirement, pension, savings and stock purchase plan, insurance, death and
disability benefits and executive short-term incentive plans. |
XIX. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
19.01 |
|
Requirements of Law. The issuance of Stock and the payment of cash pursuant to the Plan
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any
governmental agencies or stock exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan or any Award, Holders shall not be entitled to exercise, or receive benefits under
any Award, and the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares or other benefits to a
Holder, if such exercise or delivery would constitute a violation by the Holder or the Company
of any applicable law or regulation. |
|
19.02 |
|
Code Section 409A. This Plan is intended to meet or to be exempt from the requirements of
Code section 409A, and shall be administered, construed and interpreted in a manner that is in
accordance with and in furtherance of such intent. Any provision of this Plan that would
cause an Award to fail to satisfy Code section 409A or, if applicable, an exemption from the
requirements of that Section, shall be amended (in a manner that as closely as practicable
achieves the original intent of this Plan) to comply with Code section 409A or any such
exemption on a timely basis, which may be made on a retroactive basis, in accordance with
regulations and other guidance issued under Code section 409A. |
|
19.03 |
|
Rule 16b-3. Transactions under the Plan and to the extent even applicable, within the scope
of Rule 16b-3 are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the
extent any provision of the Plan or any action by the Committee under the Plan fails to so
comply, such provision or action shall, without further action by any person, be deemed to be
automatically amended to the extent necessary to effect compliance with Rule 16b-3; provided,
however, that if such provision or action cannot be amended to effect such compliance, such
provision or action shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee. |
|
19.04 |
|
Governing Law. The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of
the conflict of laws to the contrary. |
