ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, provides that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at its request in such capacity in another corporation or business association, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The Exhibits to this registration statement on Form S-8 are listed in the Exhibit Index of this registration statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) The registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. -5- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Leawood, Kansas.

                               FORM OF MILESTONE

                                                                     Exhibit 4.5

                            STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


     Whereas, the person named below (the "Optionee") entered into a Milestone
Stock Option Agreement dated October 14, 1996 (the "Milestone Agreement")
whereby Optionee was granted certain stock options by Euronet Holding N.V., a
Netherlands Antilles company ("Euronet Holding"); and

     Whereas, pursuant to an Exchange Agreement made as of December 17, 1996
(the "Exchange Agreement"), Euronet Services Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") agreed to assume the obligations of Euronet Holding with respect to
the options granted under the Milestone Agreement; and

     Whereas, the Exchange Agreement provided that the Company and the Optionee
would enter into a stock option agreement substantially in the form of the
Milestone Agreement whereby the Company grants Optionee stock options in the
same amount as the options granted by the Milestone Agreement (adjusted to
reflect a seven-to-one stock split which took place on March 6, 1997).

     Now therefore, it is agreed:

1.   Exchange of Options. Optionee hereby (i) transfers to the Company the stock
     -------------------
options granted pursuant to the Milestone Agreement and (ii) releases Euronet
Holding from all obligations in connection therewith; and the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee, with respect to common stock of the Company, par value
$0.02 per share ("Common Stock"), subject to the terms and conditions provided
herein.

2.   Award.  Subject to the provisions of this Stock Option Agreement (the
     -----
"Option Agreement") and under the same terms and conditions as provided in the
1996 Euronet Long Term Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") the provisions of which
are incorporated by reference, the Company hereby grants to Optionee, an option
(the "Stock Option") to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common
Stock, at the purchase price per share (the "Option Exercise Price").
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, it is understood that the Stock Option
granted hereby is not part of the option pool authorized by the Company in
connection with the Plan and constitutes a separate grant of options by the
Company. The Stock Option, which is not intended to be an "incentive stock
option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(as amended), is sometimes referred to herein as the "Award".

     Name of Optionee:                  _________________________________

     Number of Shares Subject
     to Stock Option:                   _________________________________

3.   Conditions of Exercise.
     ----------------------

(a)  The exercise of all or any portion of the Award is conditioned upon the
acceptance by Optionee of the terms hereof as evidenced by his/her execution of
this Option Agreement in the space provided below and the return of an executed
copy to the Company.

(b)  Written notice of an election to exercise any portion of the Award,
substantially in the form adopted by the Company and specifying the number of
shares for which an exercise is made, shall be given by Optionee, or his/her
legal representative; (i) by delivering such notice to the General Counsel of
the Company no later than the exercise date, or (ii) by mailing such notice,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its principal office at least three
business days prior to the exercise date.

4.   No Rights Prior to Exercise. Neither Optionee nor any other person entitled
     ---------------------------
to exercise the Stock Option under the terms hereof shall be, or have any rights
or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Common Stock
issuable on exercise of the Stock Option, until the date of the issuance of a
stock certificate for such Common Stock.

5.   Return of Agreement. If the Award is exercised in whole, this Option
     -------------------
Agreement shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation upon receipt by
the Optionee or his broker of the underlying stock certificates. If the Award is
exercised in part, or a change is made in the number of designation of the
Common Stock, this Option Agreement shall be delivered by Optionee to the
Company for the purpose of making appropriate notation thereon, or of otherwise
reflecting, in such manner as the Company shall determine, the partial exercise
or the change in the number of designation of the Common Stock.

6.   Representation. Optionee represents, warrants and agrees that:
     --------------

(a)  Optionee will acquire and hold the shares purchased on exercise of the
Stock Option for his/her account for investment and not with the view of the
resale of distribution thereof, except for resales or distribution in accordance
with applicable securities laws;

(b)  Optionee will not, at any time, directly or indirectly, offer, sell,
pledge, or otherwise grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any

for resales or distribution in accordance with applicable securities laws; and

(c)  Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has had the opportunity to ask
questions of, and receive answers from, the officers and representatives of the
Company concerning the Common Stock subject to this Option Agreement, as well as
all material information concerning the Company and the terms and



conditions of the transactions in which Optionee is acquiring the Stock Option
and may subsequently acquire shares of common Stock.

7.   Miscellaneous.
     -------------

(a)  The grant of the Award hereunder shall not be deemed to give Optionee the
right to be retained by the Company or to affect the right of the Company to
discharge Optionee pursuant to the Optionee's Employment Agreement. The
acceptance of the Award or any exercise of the Award by the Optionee shall not
be deemed to impose on the Optionee the obligation to remain in the employment
of the Company or to affect the Optionee's right to leave the Company's
employment pursuant to the Optionee's Employment Agreement.

(b)  The Award shall be exercised in accordance with such administrative
regulations as the Company shall from time to time adopt.

(c)  The Award and this Option Agreement shall be construed, administered and
governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of Delaware, without
giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

(d)  This Option Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and/or agreements
between Optionee and the company, or any of the subsidiaries of the Company,
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Dated as of July ___, 1998, to be effective as of March 6, 1997.

     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8 in connection with the registration
          of the Milestone Stock Option Agreements (the "Agreements") under the
          Euronet Long Term Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the preparation of the above-referenced Registration
Statement (the "Registration Statement"), which is being filed on or about the
date of this letter on behalf of Euronet Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Corporation"), and in connection with which we have acted as counsel to
the Corporation, you have asked us to provide you this opinion letter in
accordance with subsection (b)(5) of Item 601 of Regulation S-K promulgated by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registration
Statement relates to the offer and sale pursuant to the Agreements of up to
2,050,405 shares (the "Shares") of the Corporation's Common Stock, par value
$0.02 per share (the "Common Stock").

     Based upon and subject to our examination described herein and the
assumptions, exceptions, qualifications, and limitations set forth herein, we
are of the opinion that the issuance of the Shares that will be originally
issued under the Agreements has been duly authorized and the Shares will, when
issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Agreements
and the Plan, be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

     In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon, without
further investigation, the following in connection with rendering the opinions
expressed herein:  (a) the Plan and the form of the Agreements; (b) the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, and the Corporation's Bylaws; (c)
the Registration Statement, (d) minutes of directors' and stockholders'
meetings, and (e) such other documents, certificates, records, and oral
statements of public officials and the officers of the Corporation as we deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering the opinions expressed herein.



     In our examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity, accuracy and
completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, or
photostatic copies or by facsimile or electronic mail, and the authenticity of
the originals from which such copies, facsimiles, or electronic transmissions
were made.  In our examination of documents, including the Agreements, executed
by persons, legal or natural, other than the Corporation, we have assumed that
such persons had the power, corporate or otherwise, to enter into and perform
all obligations thereunder and that such documents are valid and binding.  We
have also assumed the conformity of all Agreements to the form reviewed of such
Agreements.

     This opinion letter is limited to the specific legal issues that it
expressly addresses, and accordingly, no opinion may be inferred or implied
beyond the matters expressly stated in this letter. We express no opinion as to
the law of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, as amended. We are not admitted to the Delaware Bar. In expressing
our opinions set forth herein, we have reviewed and relied upon, without further
investigation, such laws as published in generally available sources.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion letter, or a reproduction thereof,
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, however, we
are not admitting that we are within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules
or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

     This opinion letter is rendered as of the date set forth above, and we have
no continuing obligation hereunder to inform you of changes in the applicable
law or the facts after such date or facts of which we become aware after the
date hereof, even though such changes could affect our opinions expressed
herein.

                         Very truly yours,

                         SONNENSCHEIN NATH & ROSENTHAL
