EURONET WORLDWIDE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) GENERAL
Organization
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Euronet”) is a leading electronic payments provider. Euronet offers payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Euronet's primary product offerings include comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”), card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, software solutions, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, foreign currency exchange services and global money transfer services.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017, including the notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include computing income taxes, estimating the useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, as well as allocating the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.
Seasonality
Euronet’s EFT Processing Segment experiences its heaviest demand for dynamic currency conversion ("DCC") services during the third quarter of the fiscal year, coinciding with the tourism season followed by lower transaction levels during the fourth quarter. Additionally, the epay Segments is impacted by seasonality during the fourth quarter and the first quarter of each year due to higher transaction levels during the holiday season and lower levels following the holiday season. Seasonality in the Money Transfer Segment varies by regions of the world. In most markets, Euronet usually experiences increased demand for money transfer services from the month of May through the fourth quarter of each year, coinciding with the increase in worker migration patterns and various holidays, and experiences its lowest transaction levels during the first quarter of each year.
(2) RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“Topic 606”), and subsequently modified the standard with several ASUs. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under Topic 605.
The Company completed its review of customer contracts relative to the requirements of Topic 606 and concluded that revenues from certain customer contracts in the epay Segment should be recorded differently under the principal versus agent guidance of Topic 606. With respect to those contracts, the Company concluded that it earns a commission from content providers for distributing and processing their prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, but it is not the principal for the products themselves. As a result, the impact of the change in accounting principle was a reduction of $16.4 million and $53.3 million in both revenues and direct operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, with no impact on reported net income.

Table of Contents



Contract Balances
The new standard requires the deferral of incremental costs to obtain customer contracts, known as contract assets, which are then amortized to expense as part of selling, general and administrative expense over the respective periods of expected benefit. The Company completed its review of such costs and concluded that a transition adjustment was not necessary related to contract assets. However, the Company has implemented processes and controls to record such costs on an ongoing basis and will disclose them if they become material.

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance. The increase in the deferred revenue balance for the first nine months of 2018 is primarily driven by $36.0 million of cash payments received in the current year for which we have not yet satisfied the performance obligations, that were offset by $35.0 million of revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2017.

Variable Consideration
Within the EFT segment, outsourcing services are generally billed on the basis of a fixed fee per ATM, plus a transaction-based fee. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transactions are processed and outsourcing management fees are recognized ratably over the contract period. These fees can be variable based on transaction volume tiered discounts; however, as all tiered discounts are calculated monthly, the actual discount is recorded on a monthly basis. In addition, the epay segment generates commissions from the distribution of electronic content. It is common for these long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics or program milestones and can be based upon customer discretion.

Transaction fees, as well as any tiered volume discounts or incentive fees, are calculated and billed monthly in accordance with the terms established in the contract. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on as assessment of Euronet's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecast) that is reasonably available. 

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company's most significant revenues are generated from transaction fees for which there are no remaining performance obligations left to fulfill after revenue is recognized. An insignificant amount of revenues are generated from contracts with customers which may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, Euronet allocates revenues to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.

Disaggregation of Revenues
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to Euronet's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services.

The following table presents the Company's revenues disaggregated by segment and region. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. The Company believes disaggregation by segment and region best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues by segment and region is based on management's assessment of segment performance together with allocation of financial resources, both capital and operating support costs, on a segment and regional level. Both segments and regions benefit from synergies achieved through concentration of operations and are influenced by macro-economic, regulatory and political factors in the respective segment and region.

As noted above, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products. The new standard specifies that liabilities within its scope are considered to be financial liabilities, and amends the guidance in ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of Liabilities, by directing entities to derecognize prepaid stored-value product liabilities based on expected breakage in proportion to the pattern of rights expected to be exercised by the consumer. Derecognition for breakage is permitted only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of recognized breakage will not subsequently occur. The new standard is consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2018 along with Topic 606. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”. This accounting standard provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. Subsequently, the FASB issued amendments to this accounting standard that required companies to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the statement of cash flows.

The Company adopted these standards as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of these accounting standards resulted in an increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $27.2 million for the nine months ended September, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $73.5 million of restricted cash consisting of restricted cash held in trust and/or cash held on behalf of others and cash collateral on bank credit arrangements. Cash held in trust and/or cash held on behalf of others is in connection with the administration of the customer collection and vendor remittance activities by certain subsidiaries within the Company’s epay and EFT Processing Segments. Amounts collected on behalf of certain mobile phone operators and/or merchants are deposited into a restricted cash account. The bank credit arrangements primarily represent cash collateral on deposit with commercial banks to cover guarantees.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will update the existing guidance on accounting for leases and require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard requires lessees to account for all leases on the balance sheet, except for certain short-term leases that have a maximum possible lease term of 12 months. The accounting for lessors is largely unchanged from the previous accounting guidance, except for leverage lease accounting which is not permitted for leases entered into or modified after the effective date of the new standard.

Table of Contents

The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The Company expects to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company expects to elect the "package of practical expedients", which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company does not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to it.
The Company currently anticipates this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets but will not have a material impact on its consolidated income statements. The Company currently expects the most significant impact will be the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The Company currently expects its accounting for capital leases to remain substantially unchanged. The Company is continuing to assess the potential impacts of the standard.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
(3) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share has been computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the respective period, after adjusting for any potential dilution from options to purchase the Company's common stock, assumed vesting of restricted stock and the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debentures. The following table provides the computation of diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

The table includes the impact of all stock options and restricted stock that are dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes stock options or shares of restricted stock that are anti-dilutive to the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding of approximately 436,000 and 792,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and approximately 458,000 and 884,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
The Company's convertible notes have settlement features requiring the Company upon conversion to settle the principal amount of the debt and the conversion value in excess of the principal value ("conversion premium") for cash or shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's option. At issuance, the Company stated its intent to settle any conversion of these notes by paying cash for the principal value and issuing common stock for any conversion premium.  Accordingly, the convertible notes are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if their inclusion is dilutive. The convertible notes would only have a dilutive effect if the market price per share of common stock exceeds the conversion price of $72.18 per share and the dilutive effect increases the more the market price exceeds the conversion price.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the stock price exceeded the conversion price and these notes were dilutive to earnings per share. Further, as a result of the share price increasing from $94.79 at September 30, 2017 to $100.22 at September 30, 2018, there was an increase in shares from the assumed conversion of convertible notes.
Share repurchases
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program ("Repurchase Program") allowing Euronet to repurchase up to $375 million in value or 10.0 million shares of stock through March 31, 2020. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may take place in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including derivative transactions, and may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. For the first nine months of 2018, the Company repurchased $175.0 million, in value of Euronet common stock under the Repurchase Program.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company recorded foreign currency translation losses of $4.6 million and $40.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and gains of $26.7 million and $97.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. There were no reclassifications of foreign currency translation into the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Estimated amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives, before income taxes, as of September 30, 2018, is expected to total $5.4 million for the remainder of 2018, $21.2 million for 2019, $20.4 million for 2020, $19.5 million for 2021, $18.5 million for 2022 and $13.7 million for 2023.
The Company completed the acquisitions of two small European businesses for an immaterial amount of cash consideration, completing one acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 and completing the other acquisition in the second quarter of 2018. The acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the results of operations have been included from the respective dates of acquisition in the EFT Processing Segment.
The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year. The annual impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2017 resulted in impairment charges of $31.8 million.
Determining the fair value of reporting units requires significant management judgment in estimating future cash flows and assessing potential market and economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s operations will not perform as expected, or that the estimates or assumptions included in the 2017 annual impairment test could change, which may result in the Company recording material non-cash impairment charges during the year in which these changes take place.

Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a $675 million senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $600 million revolving credit agreement and a $75 million term loan, which was retired early during the third quarter of 2018. The Credit Facility was subsequently replaced by a new credit agreement on October 17, 2018, which resulted in long-term debt obligation classification for the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018. See Note 13, Subsequent Event, for further details.
Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility varies based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, as defined in the Company's credit agreement, and is based on a margin over the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or a margin over a base rate, as selected by the Company, with the applicable margin ranging from 1.375% to 2.375% for LIBOR loans or 0.375% to 1.375% for base rate loans. Accordingly, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility was 3.58% as of September 30, 2018.
Convertible Debt
The Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”) had a principal amount outstanding of $402.5 million as of September 30, 2018. The Convertible Notes mature in October 2044 unless repurchased or converted prior to such date, and are convertible into shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of approximately $72.18 per share. Holders of the Convertible

12

Table of Contents

Notes have the option to require the Company to purchase their notes at par on October 1, 2020, and have additional options to require the Company to purchase their notes at par on October 1, 2024, 2029, 2034, and 2039, or upon a change in control of the Company.
Holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to October 1, 2044 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the closing sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price for the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. If the holders exercise their option to convert, the Company is required to deliver cash or shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's option, to satisfy the principal amount and the conversion premium. As of September 30, 2018, the conversion threshold in clause (1) of the preceding sentence had been met and the Convertible Notes became convertible at the holders' option during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Contractual interest expense for the Convertible Notes was $1.5 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accretion expense was $2.9 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The effective interest rate was 4.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the unamortized discount was $24.6 million, and will be amortized through October 1, 2020.
ATM Credit Facility
On May 11, 2018, the Company entered into a short-term credit facility in the amount of $300 million for the sole purpose of providing cash for its ATM network. Interest is charged on this financing on an annual basis at the Overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.75%. The facility expires on November 30, 2018. The Company repaid $100 million of the facility during the third quarter of 2018. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ATM credit facility was 3.7% and 3.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
(7) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk resulting from (i) the collection of funds or the settlement of money transfer transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, (ii) derivative contracts written to its customers in connection with providing cross-currency money transfer services and (iii) short-term borrowings that are payable in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, primarily foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swaps, to minimize its exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of Company policy, the derivative instruments used in these activities are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC Topic 815"), primarily due to either the relatively short duration of the contract term or the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates being reflected concurrently in earnings for both the derivative instrument and the hedged transaction and having an offsetting effect.
Foreign currency exchange contracts - Ria Operations and Corporate
In the United States, the Company's Ria operations use short-duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities up to 14 days, to offset the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates on the collection of money transfer funds between initiation of a transaction and its settlement. Due to the short duration of these contracts and the Company’s credit profile, the Company is generally not required to post collateral with respect to these foreign currency forward contracts. Most derivative contracts executed with counterparties in the U.S. are governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreement that includes standard netting arrangements; therefore, asset and liability positions from forward contracts and all other foreign exchange transactions with the same counterparty are net settled upon maturity. As of September 30, 2018, the Company held in its Ria operations foreign currency forward contracts outstanding in the U.S. with a notional value of $328 million, primarily in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, British pounds, euros and Mexican pesos.
In addition, the Company uses forward contracts, typically with maturities from a few days to less than one year, to offset foreign exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $275 million, primarily in euros and Polish zloty.
Foreign currency exchange contracts - HiFX Operations
HiFX writes derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, mostly with counterparties comprised of individuals and small-to-medium size businesses and derives a currency margin from this activity

13

Table of Contents

as part of its operations. HiFX aggregates its foreign currency exposures arising from customer contracts and may hedge some or all of the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties. Foreign exchange revenues from HiFX's total portfolio of positions were $16.8 million and $52.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $16.7 million and $48.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. All of the derivative contracts used in the Company's HiFX operations are economic hedges and are not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815. The duration of these derivative contracts is generally less than one year.
The fair value of HiFX's total portfolio of positions can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in customer contract positions. HiFX manages counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments according to the terms of the agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. It mitigates this risk by entering into contracts with collateral posting requirements and/or by performing financial assessments prior to contract execution, conducting periodic evaluations of counterparty performance and maintaining a diverse portfolio of qualified counterparties. HiFX does not expect any significant losses from counterparty defaults.
The aggregate equivalent U.S. dollar notional amounts of foreign currency derivative customer contracts held by the Company in its HiFX operations as of September 30, 2018 was approximately $1.2 billion. The majority of customer contracts are written in major currencies such as the U.S. dollar, euro, New Zealand dollar, British pound, and Australian dollar.

(8) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements used in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data

15

Table of Contents

obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing.

Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current obligations approximate their fair values because of the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt (other than the Convertible Notes), including the current portion, approximate fair value because interest is primarily based on LIBOR, which resets at various intervals of less than one year. The Company estimates the fair value of the Convertible Notes using quoted prices in inactive markets for identical liabilities (Level 2). As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair values of the Convertible Notes were $562.6 million and $503.7 million, respectively, with carrying values of $377.9 million and $369.3 million, respectively.

(10) INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate was 25.5% and 27.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 13.4% and 19.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was less than the applicable statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the release of a $16.3 million valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets and, to a lesser extent, the Company's U.S. tax position. In 2017, the significant year-over-year and year-to-date profitability of ATMs under management in Europe allowed the release of the valuation allowance as the Company believes that certain foreign deferred assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, will more likely than not be realized in future periods. In addition, the Company had significant U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforwards with no recent history of significant U.S. taxable income; therefore, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets. Accordingly, in instances when the Company generated pre-tax U.S. GAAP income, no income tax expense was recognized to the extent there were net operating loss carryforwards to offset the pre-tax U.S. GAAP income.
The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of the enactment into law of what is commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act") and the Act's impact on the Company's U.S. income tax positions at the end of 2017. The most significant provisions of the Act are the transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the reduction in the U.S. corporate statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning on January 1, 2018, and new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As stated above, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets. Upon enactment of the Act, the Company expected to utilize its historic U.S. federal tax net operating losses to partially offset the transition tax and released the associated valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2017. This

change has created additional U.S. tax expense as the Company now recognizes income tax expense on its pre-tax U.S. GAAP income. In addition, the Act's global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provision has subjected the Company's foreign earnings to additional U.S. tax expense.
The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period of up to one year from the Act's enactment date for companies to complete their accounting. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company provided provisional amounts where appropriate which it believes represent a reasonable estimate based on available information and its interpretations of the Act. Further, the Company is allowed to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or recognize such taxes as current period expenses when incurred. Due to the complexity of calculating GILTI, the Company has not determined which method it will apply. The Company will continue to evaluate the Act and adjust the provisional amounts as additional information becomes available.
(11) COMMITMENTS
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $74.3 million of stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees issued on its behalf, of which $47.9 million are outstanding under the Credit Facility. The remaining stand-by letters of credit/bank guarantees are collateralized by $3.7 million of cash deposits held by the respective issuing banks.
Under certain circumstances, Euronet grants guarantees in support of obligations of subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had granted off balance sheet guarantees for cash in various ATM networks amounting to $23.2 million over the terms of the cash supply agreements and performance guarantees amounting to approximately $29.4 million over the terms of agreements with the customers.
From time to time, the Company enters into agreements with commercial counterparties that contain indemnification provisions, the terms of which may vary depending on the negotiated terms of each respective agreement. The amount of such potential obligations is generally not stated in the agreements. Euronet's liability under such indemnification provisions may be mitigated by relevant insurance coverage and may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. Such indemnification obligations include the following:
In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for damage to ATMs and theft of ATM network cash that, generally, is not recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2018, the balance of cash used in the Company's ATM networks for which the Company was responsible was approximately $318 million. The Company maintains insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;
In connection with contracts with financial institutions in the EFT Processing Segment, the Company is responsible for losses suffered by its customers and other parties as a result of the breach of its computer systems, including in particular, losses arising from fraudulent transactions made using information stolen through its processing systems. The Company maintains systems of internal controls and insurance policies to mitigate this exposure;
In connection with the license of proprietary systems to customers, the Company 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 vendors and 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 Company’s use of the vendor’s 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 of operating units or assets made by Euronet, the Company has agreed to indemnify the seller against third-party claims made against the seller relating to the 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 buyer’s 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; and

Euronet has entered into agreements with certain third parties, including banks that provide fiduciary and other services to Euronet or to the Company’s benefit plans. Under such agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify such service providers for third-party claims relating to carrying out their respective duties under such agreements.
The Company is also required to meet minimum capitalization and cash requirements of various regulatory authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company has money transfer operations. The Company has obtained surety bonds in compliance with money transfer licensing requirements of the applicable governmental authorities.
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 September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
(12) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings or regulatory findings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On October 17, 2018, the Company entered into a new unsecured revolving credit agreement for $1.0 billion that expires on October 17, 2023. Interest on borrowings varies based upon the Company's corporate credit rating and on a margin over LIBOR or a margin over the base rate, as selected by the Company, with the applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.0% or 0.175% to 1.0% for base rate loans. The new credit facility replaced the $675 million senior secured credit facility that was due to expire on April 9, 2019.
Once each of Euronet's domestic subsidiaries reaches a certain size, it is required under the unsecured revolving credit agreement to provide a guarantee of all the outstanding obligations under the credit agreement.

OVERVIEW
COMPANY OVERVIEW, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS AND PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Euronet is a leading electronic payments provider. We offer payment and transaction processing and distribution solutions to financial institutions, retailers, service providers and individual consumers. Our primary product offerings include comprehensive automated teller machine (“ATM”), point-of-sale (“POS”), card outsourcing, card issuing and merchant acquiring services, software solutions, electronic distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products, foreign currency exchange services and global money transfer services. We operate in the following three segments:
The EFT Processing Segment, which processes transactions for a network of 41,902 ATMs and approximately 279,000 POS terminals across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific and the United States. We provide comprehensive electronic payment solutions consisting of ATM cash withdrawal and deposit services, ATM network participation, outsourced ATM and POS management solutions, credit and debit card outsourcing, dynamic currency conversion ("DCC"), and other value added services. Through this segment, we also offer a suite of integrated electronic financial transaction software solutions for electronic payment and transaction delivery systems.
The epay Segment, which provides distribution, processing and collection services for prepaid mobile airtime and other electronic payment products. We operate a network of approximately 687,000 POS terminals providing electronic processing of prepaid mobile airtime top-up services and other electronic payment products in Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, the United States and South America. We also provide vouchers and physical gift fulfillment services in Europe.
The Money Transfer Segment, which provides global consumer-to-consumer money transfer services, primarily under the brand names Ria, IME and xe, and global account-to-account money transfer services under the brand name HiFX. We offer services under the brand names Ria and IME through a network of sending agents, Company-owned stores (primarily in North America, Europe and Malaysia) and Ria branded websites (riamoneytransfer.com and imeremit.com), disbursing money transfers through a worldwide correspondent network that includes approximately 361,000 locations. xe is a provider of foreign currency exchange information and offers money transfer services on its currency data websites (xe.com and x-rates.com). We offer services under the brand name HiFX through HiFX branded websites and HiFX customer service representatives. In addition to money transfers, we also offer customers bill payment services (primarily in the U.S.), payment alternatives such as money orders and prepaid debit cards, comprehensive check cashing services for a wide variety of issued checks, along with competitive foreign currency exchange services and prepaid mobile top-up. Through our HiFM brand, we offer cash management solutions and foreign currency risk management services to small-to-medium sized businesses.
We have six processing centers in Europe, five in Asia Pacific and two in North America. We have 36 principal offices in Europe, 11 in Asia Pacific, nine in North America, three in the Middle East, two in South America and one in Africa. Our executive offices are located in Leawood, Kansas, USA. With approximately 72% of our revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, any significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates will likely have a significant impact on our results of operations.

SOURCES OF REVENUES AND CASH FLOW
Euronet primarily earns revenues and income from ATM management fees, transaction fees, commissions and foreign currency exchange margin. Each operating segment’s sources of revenues are described below.
EFT Processing Segment — Revenues in the EFT Processing Segment, which represented approximately 37% and 31% of total consolidated revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, are primarily derived from fees charged for transactions made by cardholders on our proprietary network of ATMs, fixed management fees and transaction fees we charge to customers for operating ATMs and processing debit and credit cards under outsourcing and cross-border acquiring agreements, foreign currency exchange margin on DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing, and other value added services such as advertising, prepaid telecommunication recharges, bill payment, and money transfers provided over ATMs. Revenues in this segment are also derived from license fees, professional services and maintenance fees for proprietary application software and sales of related hardware.

22

Table of Contents

epay Segment — Revenues in the epay Segment, which represented approximately 26% and 28% of total consolidated revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, are derived from commissions or processing fees received from mobile phone operators for the processing and distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and commissions earned from the distribution of other electronic payment products, vouchers, and physical gifts. The proportion of epay Segment revenues earned from the distribution of prepaid mobile phone time as compared with other electronic products has decreased over time, and non-mobile content now produces approximately 60% of epay Segment revenues. Other electronic payment products offered by this segment include digital content such as music, games and software, as well as other products, including prepaid long distance calling card plans, prepaid Internet plans, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, vouchers, transport payments, lottery payments, bill payment, and money transfer.
Money Transfer Segment — Revenues in the Money Transfer Segment, which represented approximately 37% and 41% of total consolidated revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, are primarily derived from transaction fees, as well as the margin earned from purchasing foreign currency at wholesale exchange rates and selling the foreign currency to customers at retail exchange rates. We have a sending agent network in place comprised of agents, customer service representatives, Company-owned stores, primarily in North America, Europe, and Malaysia, and Ria, xe and HiFX branded websites, along with a worldwide network of correspondent agents, consisting primarily of financial institutions in the transfer destination countries. Sending and correspondent agents each earn fees for cash collection and distribution services, which are recognized as direct operating costs at the time of sale.
The Company offers a money transfer product called Walmart-2-Walmart Money Transfer Service which allows customers to transfer money to and from Walmart stores in the U.S. Our Ria business executes the transfers with Walmart serving as both the sending agent and payout correspondent. Ria earns a lower margin from these transactions than its traditional money transfers; however, the arrangement has added a significant number of transactions to Ria’s business. The agreement with Walmart establishes Ria as the only party through which Walmart will sell U.S. domestic money transfers branded with Walmart marks. The agreement is effective until April 2020. Thereafter, it will automatically renew for subsequent one year terms unless either party provides notice to the contrary. The agreement imposes certain obligations on each party, the most significant being service level requirements by Ria and money transfer compliance requirements by Walmart. Any violation of these requirements by Ria could result in an obligation to indemnify Walmart or termination of the contract by Walmart. However, the agreement allows the parties to resolve disputes by mutual agreement without termination of the agreement.
Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other - In addition to operating in our principal operating segments described above, our “Corporate Services, Eliminations and Other” category includes non-operating activity, certain inter-segment eliminations and the cost of providing corporate and other administrative services to the operating segments, including most share-based compensation expense. These services are not directly identifiable with our reportable operating segments.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Our expansion plans and opportunities are focused on eight primary areas:
increasing the number of ATMs and cash deposit terminals in our independent networks;
increasing transactions processed on our network of owned and operated ATMs and POS devices;
signing new outsourced ATM and POS terminal management contracts;
expanding value added services and other products offered by our EFT Processing Segment, including the sale of DCC, acquiring and other prepaid card services to banks and retailers;
expanding our epay processing network and portfolio of digital content;
expanding our money transfer services, cross-currency payment products and bill payment network;
expanding our cash management solutions and foreign currency risk management services; and
developing our credit and debit card outsourcing business.
EFT Processing Segment — The continued expansion and development of our EFT Processing Segment business will depend on various factors including, but not necessarily limited to, 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;
our ability to develop products or services, including value added services, to drive increases in transactions and revenues;
the expansion of our various business lines in markets where we operate and in new markets;

Table of Contents

our entry into additional card acceptance and ATM management agreements with banks;
our ability to obtain required licenses in markets we intend to enter or expand services;
our ability to enter into and renew ATM network cash supply agreements with financial institutions;
the availability of financing for expansion;
our ability efficiently to install ATMs contracted under newly awarded outsourcing agreements;
our ability to renew existing contracts at profitable rates;
our ability to maintain pricing at current levels or mitigate price reductions in certain markets;
the impact of changes in rules imposed by international card organizations such as Visa and Mastercard on card transactions on ATMs, including reductions in ATM interchange fees, restrictions on the ability to apply direct access fees, the ability to offer DCC transactions on ATMs, and increases in fees charged on DCC transactions;
the impact of changes in laws and regulations affecting the profitability of our services, including regulation of DCC transactions by the E.U.;
our ability to expand and sign additional customers for 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.

We consistently evaluate and add prospects to our list of potential ATM outsource customers. However, we cannot predict the increase or decrease in the number of ATMs we manage under outsourcing agreements because this depends largely on the willingness of banks to enter into outsourcing contracts with us. Due to the thorough internal reviews and extensive negotiations conducted by existing and prospective banking customers in choosing outsource vendors, the process of entering into or renewing outsourcing agreements can take several months. The process is further complicated by the legal and regulatory considerations of local countries. These agreements tend to cover large numbers of ATMs, so significant increases and decreases in our pool of managed ATMs could result from the acquisition or termination of one or more of these management contracts. Therefore, the timing of both current and new contract revenues is uncertain and unpredictable.

Software products are 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.
epay Segment — The continued expansion and development of the epay Segment business will depend on various factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
our ability to maintain and renew existing agreements, and to negotiate new agreements in additional markets with mobile operators, digital content providers, agent financial institutions and retailers;
our ability to use existing expertise and relationships with mobile operators, digital content providers and retailers to our advantage;
the continued use of third-party providers such as ourselves to supply electronic processing solutions for existing and additional digital content;
the development of mobile phone networks in the markets in which we do business and the increase in the number of mobile phone users;
the overall pace of growth in the prepaid mobile phone and digital content market, including consumer shifts between prepaid and postpaid services;
our market share of the retail distribution capacity;
the development of new technologies that may compete with POS distribution of prepaid mobile airtime and other products;
the level of commission that is paid to the various intermediaries in the electronic payment distribution chain;
our ability to fully recover monies collected by retailers;
our ability to add new and differentiated products in addition to those offered by mobile operators;
our ability to develop and effectively market additional value added services;

Table of Contents

our ability to take advantage of cross-selling opportunities with our EFT Processing and Money Transfer Segments, including providing money transfer services through our distribution network; and
the availability of financing for further expansion.

In all of the markets in which we operate, we are experiencing significant competition which will impact the rate at which we may be able to grow organically. Competition among prepaid mobile airtime and digital content distributors results in the increase of commissions paid to retailers and increases in retailer attrition rates. To grow, we must capture market share from other prepaid mobile airtime and digital content distributors, offer a superior product offering and demonstrate the value of a global network. In certain markets in which we operate, many of the factors that may contribute to rapid growth (growth in electronic payment products, expansion of our network of retailers and access to products of mobile operators and other content providers) remain present.
Money Transfer Segment — The continued expansion and development of our Money Transfer Segment business will depend on various factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
the continued growth in worker migration and employment opportunities;
the mitigation of economic and political factors that have had an adverse impact on money transfer volumes, such as changes in the economic sectors in which immigrants work and the developments in immigration policies in the countries in which we operate;
the continuation of the trend of increased use of electronic money transfer and bill payment services among high-income individuals, immigrant workers and the unbanked population in our markets;
our ability to maintain our agent and correspondent networks;
our ability to offer our products and services or develop new products and services at competitive prices to drive increases in transactions;
the development of new technologies that may compete with our money transfer network, and our ability to acquire, develop and implement new technologies;
the expansion of our services in markets where we operate and in new markets;
our ability to strengthen our brands;
our ability to fund working capital requirements;
our ability to recover from agents funds collected from customers and our ability to recover advances made to correspondents;
our ability to maintain compliance with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate;
our ability to take advantage of cross-selling opportunities with the epay Segment, including providing prepaid services through our stores and agents worldwide;
our ability to leverage our banking and merchant/retailer relationships to expand money transfer corridors to Europe, Asia and Africa, including high growth corridors to Central and Eastern European countries;
the availability of financing for further expansion;
the ability to maintain banking relationships necessary for us to service our customers;
our ability to successfully expand our agent network in Europe using our payment institution licenses under the Second Payment Services Directive ("PSD2") and using our various licenses in the United States;
our ability to provide additional value-added products under the xe brand, and;
the considerations regarding the use of our various trade names within the money transfer business.

For all segments, our continued expansion may involve additional acquisitions that could divert our resources and management time and require integration of new assets with our existing networks and services. Our ability to effectively manage our growth has required us to expand our operating systems and employee base, particularly at the management level, which has added incremental operating costs. An inability to continue to effectively manage expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations. Inadequate technology and resources would impair

our ability to maintain current processing technology and efficiencies, as well as deliver new and innovative services to compete in the marketplace.

Impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
Our revenues and local expenses are recorded in the functional currencies of our operating entities and translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes; therefore, amounts we earn outside the U.S. are negatively impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar and positively impacted by a weaker U.S. dollar. Considering the results by country and the associated functional currency, we estimate that our reported consolidated operating income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 was 1% less and 3% more, respectively, due to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates when compared to the same periods of 2017.
To provide further perspective on the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, the following table shows the changes in values relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies of the countries in which we have our most significant operations:

Revenues
EFT Processing Segment total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $261.7 million and $592.3 million, respectively, an increase of $35.4 million or 16% and $104.3 million or 21% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase in total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily due to an increase in the number of ATMs under management in Europe. Specifically, the increase in the number of ATMs contributed to increases in the number of transactions processed. The transaction growth includes an increase in value-added transactions on the ATMs and point-of-sale terminals, including dynamic currency conversion, domestic and international surcharge, and foreign currency dispensing. The increases for the first nine months of 2018 were also impacted by the recovery from a cash shortage in India due to the demonetization initiated in the fourth quarter of 2016, which carried over into the first half of 2017. In the second half of 2017, the India cash supply returned to near pre-demonetization levels. Foreign currency exchange rate movements increased total revenues by approximately $20.3 million for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 and decreased total revenues by approximately $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
Average monthly revenues per ATM were $2,089 and $1,646 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $1,979 and $1,485 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Revenues per transaction were $0.37 for the third quarter and $0.29 for the first nine months of 2018, respectively, compared to $0.37 for the third quarter and and $0.28 for the first nine months of 2017, respectively. The increase in average monthly revenues per ATM for the first nine months of 2018 was primarily the result of the impact of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against key foreign currencies.
Direct operating costs
EFT Processing Segment direct operating costs were $101.8 million and $279.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, an increase of $2.7 million or 3% and $41.2 million or 17% as compared to the same periods in 2017. Direct operating costs in the EFT Processing Segment consist primarily of site rental fees, cash delivery costs, cash supply costs, maintenance, insurance, telecommunications, data center operations-related personnel, as well as the processing centers’ facility-related costs and other processing center-related expenses and commissions paid to retail merchants, banks and card processors involved with POS DCC transactions. The increases in direct operating costs for the three and nine months

28

Table of Contents

ended September 30, 2018 were primarily due to an increase in the number of ATMs under management, particularly our independent ATM network which has more seasonal revenue generation.
Gross profit
Gross profit, which is calculated as revenues less direct operating costs, was $160.0 million and $312.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $127.3 million and $249.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increases in gross profit were primarily due to the growth in revenues from the increases in ATMs under management, DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, and foreign currency dispensing. The net impact of the U.S. dollar weakening against key foreign currencies also contributed to the increase in gross profit for the first nine months of 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues (“gross margin”) was 61.1% and 52.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 56.2% and 51.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the increases in gross margins were attributable to the increases in DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, foreign currency dispensing, and also a higher volume of sales of POS devices in Greece on which we earned a lower margin in the third quarter of 2017 which did not occur in the current period.
Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits expense increased $4.8 million or 29% and $11.6 million or 25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases in salaries and benefits were primarily attributable to higher bonus expense resulting from operating income growth and additional headcount to support an increase in the number of ATMs and POS devices under management. As a percentage of revenues, these costs increased to 8.3% and 9.7% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, compared to 7.4% and 9.5% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively. The increases were primarily due to additional headcount to support an increase in the number of ATMs and POS devices under management.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $11.2 million and $30.6 million, respectively, an increase of $2.3 million or 26% and $6.6 million or 28% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to an increase in costs to support the growth in the business. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 4.3% and 5.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to 3.9% and 4.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.9 million and $9.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases were primarily attributable to the deployment of additional ATMs under management and software assets. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense was 6.4% and 8.3% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, as compared to 6.5% and 8.2% for the same periods of 2017.
Operating income
EFT Processing Segment operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $110.4 million and $174.9 million, respectively, an increase of $23.6 million or 27% and $37.8 million or 28% as compared to the same periods in 2017. EFT Processing Segment operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased primarily due to the increases in the number of DCC transactions, domestic and international surcharge, and foreign currency dispensing as a result of the increased number of ATMs.
Operating income as a percentage of revenues (“operating margin”) was 42.2% for the third quarter and 29.5% for the first nine months of 2018 compared to 38.4% for the third quarter and 28.1% for the first nine months of 2017. The increases in operating margins were primarily due to higher operating revenues partially offset by expenses incurred to support the increased revenues and additional ATMs under management. Operating income per transaction was $0.16 for the third quarter and $0.09 for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to $0.14 and $0.08 for the same periods of 2017.

Revenues
epay Segment total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $185.4 million and $528.7 million, respectively, an increase of $1.2 million or 1% and $16.2 million or 3% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The total revenues for the third quarter of 2018 was consistent with the same period in 2017. The increases in total revenues for the first nine months of 2018 was primarily due to an increase in the number of non-mobile transactions and the impact of the U.S. dollar weakening against key foreign currencies. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by the ASC 606 adjustment and a decrease in prepaid mobile transactions processed in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia due to competitive pressures on prepaid mobile carriers. Foreign currency exchange rate movements decreased total revenues by approximately $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 and increased total revenues by $18.2 million for the first nine months of 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017.
Revenues per transaction were $0.65 for the third quarter and $0.66 for the first nine months of 2018 compared to $0.63 and $0.57 for the same periods in 2017. The increases in revenues per transaction were primarily driven by the revenue growth from non-mobile transactions processed, for which we generally earn higher revenues per transaction than mobile transactions.
Direct operating costs
epay Segment direct operating costs were $142.7 million and $403.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, a decrease of $0.4 million and an increase of $9.7 million as compared to the same periods in 2017. Direct operating costs in our epay Segment include the commissions we pay to retail merchants for the distribution and sale of prepaid mobile airtime and other prepaid products, expenses incurred to operate POS terminals and the cost of vouchers sold and physical gifts fulfilled. The increase in direct operating costs for the first nine months of 2018 was primarily due to the ASC 606 adjustment and net impact of the U.S. dollar weakening against key foreign currencies.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $42.8 million and $125.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $41.2 million and $119.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increases were primarily due to the growth in non-mobile transactions processed, partly offset by a decrease in prepaid mobile transactions processed in certain markets.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the gross margin was essentially flat compared to the same periods in the prior year. Gross margin was 23.1% and 23.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 22.4% and 23.3% for the same periods in 2017.

Salaries and benefits
Salaries and benefits expense increased $0.5 million or 4% and $3.6 million or 9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases were mainly driven by the higher headcount in an effort to grow the segment. As a percentage of revenues, salaries and benefits were 7.8% and 8.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 7.6% and 7.7% for the same periods in 2017.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.0 million and $27.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of 9% and a decrease of 2% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the third quarter of 2018 was mainly due to increased promotional cost for our non-mobile products. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses first nine months of 2018 for the was mainly due to cost control efforts. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.4% and 5.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 5.0% and 5.4% for the same periods in 2017.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense primarily represents depreciation of POS terminals we place in retail stores and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization expense was $1.9 million and $5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, a decrease of 24% and 26% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The decreases were largely due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense was 1.0% and 1.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and 1.3% and 1.5% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Operating income
epay Segment operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $16.4 million and $49.7 million, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million and $5.3 million as compared to the same periods in 2017. Operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 improved as a result of the increased gross profit from the distribution of more non-mobile products, along with operating cost controls.
Operating margin increased to 8.9% and 9.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 8.5% and 8.7% for the same periods in 2017, respectively. The increases were mainly due to an increase in the percentage of revenues from non-mobile products which earn a higher margin than mobile transactions. Operating income per transaction increased to $0.06 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $0.05 for the same periods in 2017. The increases were primarily due to the loss of a high-volume, low-margin customer in the Middle East.

The increases in total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were primarily due to increases in the number of money transfers processed, driven by growth in the U.S. and foreign agent and correspondent payout networks.
Revenues per transaction increased slightly compared to the same periods in the prior year. Revenues per transaction increased to $9.65 and $9.73 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, respectively, from $9.54 and $9.63 for the same periods in 2017.
Direct operating costs
Money Transfer Segment direct operating costs were $144.8 million and $412.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, an increase of $21.2 million or 17% and $64.2 million or 18% as compared to the same periods in 2017. Direct operating costs in the Money Transfer Segment primarily consist of commissions paid to agents who originate money transfers on our behalf and correspondent agents who disburse funds to the customers’ destination beneficiaries, together with less significant costs, such as bank depository fees. The increases in direct operating costs for the three and nine months of 2018 were primarily due to growth in the number of money transfer transactions processed in both the U.S. and foreign markets.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $123.5 million and $356.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $104.5 million and $300.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increases in gross profit were primarily due to growth in the number of money transfer transactions processed in both the U.S. and foreign markets.

Selling, general, and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $32.5 million and $93.6 million, respectively, an increase of $3.8 million or 13%, and $15.7 million or 20% as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases were primarily due to expenses incurred to support the growth of our money transfer services in both the U.S. and foreign markets.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 12.1% and 12.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 12.6% and 12.0% for the same periods in 2017. For the third quarter of 2018, this was primarily due to increases in the number of money transfers processed, which did not require similar increases in support costs. For the first nine months of 2018, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily attributable to the increased support costs to expand the business.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization primarily represents amortization of acquired intangible assets and depreciation of money transfer terminals, computers and software, leasehold improvements and office equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million or 6% and $1.8 million or 8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, largely due to the increased capital additions as a result of business growth.
As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense was 2.9% for the third quarter and 3.1% for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to 3.2% and 3.4% for the same periods of 2017. The decreases were primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Operating income
Money Transfer Segment operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $34.3 million and $93.3 million, respectively, an increase of $9.9 million or 41% and $18.0 million or 24% as compared to the same periods of 2017. Operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased primarily due to the growth in the number of money transfers processed partly offset by the additional salaries and benefits and other costs incurred.
As a percentage of revenues, operating margin was 12.8% and 12.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 10.7% and 11.6% for the same periods in 2017. Operating income per transaction increased to $1.23 and $1.18 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from $1.02 and $1.12 for the same periods in 2017. The increases in operating margin and operating income per transaction were primarily due to the growth in the number of money transfers processed which did not require similar increases in support costs.

Interest income
The decrease in interest income for the first nine months of September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to the interest earned on a tax refund received in India in the first quarter of 2017 which did not occur in the current period.
Interest expense
The increases in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 were primarily related to additional borrowings throughout the third quarter of 2018 to fund the operating cash for our Independent ATM Deployed (“IAD”) networks and higher interest rates as compared to the same periods in 2017.

Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net
Foreign currency exchange activity includes gains and losses on certain foreign currency exchange derivative contracts and the impact of remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. 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. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses that result from remeasurement of these assets and liabilities are recorded in net income. The majority of our foreign currency exchange gains or losses are due to the remeasurement of intercompany loans which are not considered a long-term investment in nature and are in a currency other than the functional currency of one of the parties to the loan. For example, we make intercompany loans based in euros from our corporate division, which is composed of U.S. dollar functional currency entities, to certain European entities that use the euro as the functional currency. As the U.S. dollar strengthens against the euro, foreign currency exchange losses are recognized by our corporate entities because the number of euros to be received in settlement of the loans decreases in U.S. dollar terms. Conversely, in this example, in periods where the U.S. dollar weakens, our corporate entities will record foreign currency exchange gains.
We recorded net foreign currency exchange losses of $2.7 million and $21.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to net foreign currency exchange gains of $8.2 million and $21.0 million for the same periods in 2017. These realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange losses and gains reflect the fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of the countries in which we operated during the respective periods.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company's effective income tax rate was 25.5% and 27.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 13.4% and 19.3% for the same periods in 2017. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was less than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the release of a $16.3 million valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets and, to a lesser extent, the Company's U.S. tax position. In 2017, the significant year-over-year and year-to-date profitability of ATMs under management in Europe allowed the release of the valuation allowance as the Company believes that certain foreign deferred assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, will more likely than not be realized in future periods. In addition, the Company had significant U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforwards with no recent history of significant U.S. taxable income; therefore, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets. Accordingly, in instances when the Company generated pre-tax U.S. GAAP income, no income tax expense was recognized to the extent there were net operating loss carryforwards to offset the income. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was higher than the applicable statutory income tax rate of 21% as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act") and its impact on the Company's U.S. income tax positions at the end of 2017. The most significant provisions of the Act are the transition tax on previously undistributed foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the reduction in the U.S. corporate statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning on January 1, 2018, and new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As stated above, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets. After enactment of the Act, the Company expected to utilize its U.S. federal net operating losses to partially offset the transition tax and released the associated valuation allowance in the prior year. This change has created additional U.S. tax expense as the Company will now recognize income tax expense on its pre-tax U.S. GAAP income. In addition, the Act's GILTI provision has created additional U.S. tax expense on foreign earnings. The increase in the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 is largely due to the 2017 release of valuation allowance and to a certain extent, the Act's impact on the Company's U.S. income tax positions. See Note 10 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information related to income taxes.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO EURONET
Net income attributable to Euronet was $102.7 million and $172.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, an increase of $2.4 million and a decrease of $6.9 million as compared to the same periods in 2017. The decrease in net income for the first nine months of 2018 was primarily due to a $42.5 million increase in net foreign currency exchange loss, a $21.9 million increase in income tax expense, a decrease in interest income of $1.0 million and an increase in interest expense of $3.9 million, partly offset by an increase in operating income of $61.9 million and a $0.6 million increase in losses attributable to noncontrolling interests.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had working capital, which is calculated as the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities, of $702.8 million and $482.5 million, respectively. Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 1.46 and 1.34, respectively.
We require substantial working capital to finance operations. In the Money Transfer Segment, we fund the payout of the majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer services before receiving the benefit of amounts collected from customers by agents. Working capital needs increase due to weekends and international banking holidays. As a result, we may report more or less working capital for the Money Transfer Segment based solely upon the day on which the reporting period ends. The epay Segment produces positive working capital, but much of it is restricted in connection with the administration of its customer collection and vendor remittance activities. In our EFT Processing Segment, we obtain a significant portion of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various cash supply arrangements, the amount of which is not recorded on Euronet's Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, in certain countries, we fund the cash required to operate our ATM network from borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately $640 million of our own cash in use or designated for use in our ATM network, which is recorded in cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable, for ATM withdrawals pending settlement, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,129.3 million at September 30, 2018, of which $941.5 million was held outside of the United States and is expected to be indefinitely reinvested for continued use in foreign operations. Repatriation of these assets to the U.S. could have negative tax consequences.

The decrease is primarily due to fluctuations in working capital mainly associated with the timing of the settlement processes with content providers in the epay Segment and with correspondents in the Money Transfer Segment, partly offset by improved operating results.
Investing activity cash flow
Cash flows used in investing activities were $99.4 million for the first nine months of 2018 compared to $74.0 million for the first nine months of 2017. The increase is primarily due to acquisitions and increased capital expenditures mainly related to our ATM network expansion. During the first nine months of 2018, we used $12.9 million for business acquisitions. During the first nine months of 2018, we used $82.1 million for purchases of property and equipment compared to $70.9 million during the

first nine months of 2017. Cash used for software development and other investing activities totaled $4.4 million and $3.2 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Financing activity cash flow
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $247.1 million for the first nine months of 2018 compared to $126.6 million for the first nine months of 2017. Our financing activities for the first nine months of 2018 consisted of net borrowings of $417.2 million compared to net borrowings of $123.8 million for the first nine months of 2017. The increase in net borrowings for the first nine months of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017 was the result of additional borrowings under the credit facilities to fund the operating cash of our IAD networks. Additionally, we used $4.7 million and $3.5 million during the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, for capital lease repayments. We repurchased $177.2 million and $2.3 million of our stock during the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the first nine months of 2018, we repurchased $175.0 million of our shares and paid $2.2 million for the amount of payroll taxes represented by the common stock withheld on restricted stock vestings and stock option exercises compared to $2.3 million for the same period of 2017. We received proceeds from stock option exercises of $11.8 million and $8.3 million for the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Other sources of capital
Credit Facility - As of September 30, 2018, we had a $675 million senior secured credit facility that matures on April 9, 2019 (the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $590 million revolving credit facility, a $10 million India revolving credit facility and a $75 million term loan which was retired early during the third quarter of 2018. On October 17, 2018, the Credit Facility was subsequently replaced with a new $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement that expires on October 17, 2023.
We use the revolving credit facility primarily to fund working capital requirements which are expected to increase as we expand the Money Transfer business and our independent ATM network. Based on our current projected working capital requirements, we anticipate that our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our short-term working capital needs.
As of September 30, 2018, fees and interest on borrowings varied based upon the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) and are based, in the case of letter of credit fees, on a margin, and in the case of interest, on a margin over LIBOR or a margin over the base rate, as selected by us, with the applicable margin ranging from 1.375% to 2.375% for LIBOR loans and 0.375% to 1.375% for base rate loans.
As of September 30, 2018, we had $266.7 million of borrowings and $47.9 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The remaining $285.4 million under the revolving credit facility was available for borrowing based upon the borrowing base and financial covenants in our Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average interest rate under the revolving credit facility was 3.58%, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs.
Convertible debt - We have $402.5 million in principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2044 (“Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes have an interest rate of 1.5% per annum payable semi-annually in April and October, and are convertible into shares of Euronet Common Stock at a conversion price of approximately $72.18 per share if certain conditions are met (relating to the closing prices of Euronet Common Stock exceeding certain thresholds for specified periods).
Although the Convertible Notes will be convertible during the fourth quarter of 2018, we believe holders are unlikely to exercise their conversion rights, primarily due to the fair value of the Convertible Notes exceeding their conversion value. As of September 30, 2018, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was $562.6 million and their conversion value was $558.8 million. However, should any holders exercise their conversion rights, we believe our capital resources are sufficient to satisfy any conversion.
Additionally, holders of the Convertible Notes have the option to require us to purchase their notes at par on October 1, 2020, and have additional options to require us to purchase their notes at par on October 1, 2024, 2029, 2034, and 2039, or upon a change in control of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we recorded $10.7 million in debt issuance costs, which are being amortized through October 1, 2020.
ATM Facility - On May 11, 2018, we entered into a short-term credit facility for the sole purpose of providing cash for our ATM network in the amount of $300 million, which as of September 30, 2018, we had outstanding borrowings of $200.0 million. Interest is charged on this financing on an annual basis at the Overnight LIBOR rate plus 1.75%. The facility expires on November 30, 2018. We repaid $100.0 million of this credit facility during the third quarter of 2018. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ATM credit facility was 3.7% for the third quarter of 2018.
Other debt obligations - Certain of our subsidiaries also have available credit lines and overdraft facilities to generally supplement short-term working capital requirements. As of September 30, 2018, there was $33.7 million outstanding under these other obligation arrangements. Short-term debt obligations, as of September 30, 2018 were primarily comprised of $200.0 million in principal outstanding under the ATM facility and $33.1 million of other obligation arrangements payments due in the next twelve months.

Other uses of capital
Capital expenditures and needs - Total capital expenditures, including capital lease expenditures, for the first nine months of 2018 were $86.9 million. These capital expenditures were made primarily for the purchase of ATMs to expand our independent ATM network in Europe, the purchase and installation of ATMs in key under-penetrated markets, the purchase of POS terminals for the epay and Money Transfer Segments, and office, data center and company store computer equipment and software. Total capital expenditures for 2018 are currently estimated to range from approximately $120 million to $130 million.
At current and projected cash flow levels, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under our revolving credit facility and other existing and potential future financing sources, will be sufficient to meet our debt, leasing and capital expenditure obligations. If our capital resources are not sufficient to meet these obligations, we will seek to refinance our debt and/or issue additional equity 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 other obligations or for the issuance of additional equity.
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.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
On occasion, we grant guarantees of the obligations of our subsidiaries and we sometimes enter into agreements with unaffiliated third 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 provisions may be subject to time and materiality limitations, monetary caps and other conditions and defenses. As of September 30, 2018, there were no material changes from the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. To date, we are not aware of any significant claims made by the indemnified parties or parties to whom we have provided guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries and, accordingly, no liabilities have been recorded as of September 30, 2018. See also Note 11, Commitments, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of September 30, 2018, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in our future contractual obligations from the amounts reported within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, other than those resulting from changes in the amount of outstanding debt discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
As of September 30, 2018, our total debt outstanding was $878.3 million. Of this amount, $377.9 million, net of debt discounts, or 43% of our total debt obligations, relates to our Convertible Notes that have a fixed coupon rate. Our $402.5 million principal amount of Convertible Notes, issued in October 2014, accrue cash interest at a rate of 1.5% of the principal amount per annum. Based on quoted market prices, as of September 30, 2018, the fair value of our fixed rate Convertible Notes was $562.6 million, compared to a carrying value of $377.9 million. Interest expense for these notes, including accretion and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, has a weighted average interest rate of 4.7% annually. Additionally, $466.7 million, or 53% of our total debt obligations, relates to debt borrowings under our Credit Facility and ATM facility. If we were to maximize the potential borrowings available under the new revolving credit facility we entered into on October 17, 2018 and maintain these borrowings for one year, a 1% (100 basis points) increase in the applicable interest rate would result in additional annual interest expense to the Company of approximately $9.5 million.
The remaining $33.7 million, or 4%, of our total debt obligations, is related to borrowings by certain subsidiaries to fund, from time to time, working capital requirements. These arrangements generally are due within one year and accrue interest at variable rates.
Additionally, as of September 30, 2018, we had approximately $14.1 million of capitalized leases with fixed payment and interest terms that expire between 2018 and 2022.
Our excess cash is invested in instruments with original maturities of three months or less or in certificates of deposit that may be withdrawn at any time without penalty; therefore, as investments mature and are reinvested, the amount we earn will increase or decrease with changes in the underlying short-term interest rates.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
For the first nine months of 2018, approximately 72% of our revenues were generated in non-U.S. dollar countries and we expect to continue generating a significant portion of our revenues in countries with currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
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, primarily the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, Polish zloty, Indian rupee, New Zealand dollar, Malaysian ringgit and Hungarian forint. As of September 30, 2018, we estimate that a 10% fluctuation in these foreign currency exchange rates would have the combined annualized effect on reported net income and working capital of approximately $150 million to $155 million. This effect is estimated by applying a 10% adjustment factor to our non-U.S. dollar results from operations, intercompany loans that generate foreign currency exchange gains or losses and working capital balances that require translation from the respective functional currency to the U.S. dollar reporting currency.
Additionally, we have other non-current, non-U.S. dollar assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are translated to the U.S. dollar during consolidation. These items primarily represent goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with acquisitions in countries other than the U.S. We estimate that a 10% fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates would have a non-cash impact on total comprehensive income of approximately $100 million to $105 million as a result of the change in value of these items during translation to the U.S. dollar. For the fluctuations described above, a strengthening U.S. dollar produces a financial loss, while a weakening U.S. dollar produces a financial gain.
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. Because a majority of our revenues and expenses is incurred in the functional currencies of our international operating entities, the profits we earn in foreign currencies are positively impacted by a weakening of the U.S. dollar and negatively impacted by a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Additionally, our debt obligations are primarily in U.S. dollars; therefore, as foreign currency exchange rates fluctuate, the amount available for repayment of debt will also increase or decrease.
We use derivatives to minimize our exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to facilitate foreign currency risk management services by writing derivatives to customers. Derivatives are used to manage the overall market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rates; however, we do not perform the extensive record-keeping required to account for the derivative transactions as hedges. Due to the relatively short duration of the derivative contracts, we use the derivatives primarily as economic hedges. Since we do not designate foreign currency derivatives as hedging instruments pursuant to the accounting standards, we record gains and losses on foreign exchange derivatives in earnings in the period of change.

Table of Contents

A majority of our consumer-to-consumer money transfer operations 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. We enter into foreign currency forward and cross-currency swap contracts to minimize exposure related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value related to these contracts are recorded in Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2018, we had foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $328 million, primarily in Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, euros and Mexican pesos, that were not designated as hedges and mature within a few days.
For derivative instruments our HiFX operations write for customers, we aggregate the foreign currency exposure arising from customer contracts, and hedge the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties as part of a broader foreign currency portfolio. The changes in fair value related to the total portfolio of positions are recorded in Revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2018, we held foreign currency derivative contracts outstanding with a notional value of $1.2 billion, primarily in U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars, that were not designated as hedges and for which the majority mature within the next twelve months.
We use longer-term foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain foreign currency denominated other asset and liability positions. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional value of $275 million, primarily in euros and Polish zloty.
See Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2018. 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 to provide reasonable assurance 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.
Change in Internal Controls
There have not been any changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is, from time to time, a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
The discussion regarding contingencies in Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements (unaudited), Note 12, Litigation and Contingencies, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report is incorporated herein by reference.
Currently, there are no legal or regulatory proceedings that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case or proceeding.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as otherwise described herein, there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC.

Tightening of regulations may adversely affect our results.

The evolving regulatory environment may change the competitive landscape across various jurisdictions and adversely affect our financial results. If governments implement new laws or regulations, or organizations such as Visa and MasterCard issue new rules, that effectively limit our ability to provide DCC or set fees and/or foreign currency exchange spreads, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, changes in regulatory interpretations or practices could increase the risk of regulatory enforcement actions, fines and penalties and such changes may be replicated across multiple jurisdictions.

In March, 2018, the E.U. began a legislative process for amending certain existing legislation applying to cross border payment practices, which includes a proposal for new regulations on DCC transactions. As part of that process, in March 2018, the E.U. Commission proposed certain regulations regarding DCC and in June 2018, the E.U. Council adopted its own version of the proposed regulations. The E.U. Parliament began consideration of the proposal by the E.U. Commission in June 2018 and will vote on certain draft regulations on November 5, 2018. Following that vote, the versions of the regulations adopted by the E.U. Commission, the E.U. Council and the E.U. Parliament will be reconciled in a “trilogue” process that may be completed by the end of 2018 or in the first quarter of 2019. The reconciled regulations could enter into force shortly after that. The time frame imposed for actual implementation of the final regulations by industry players is currently uncertain, and will depend on the complexity of any new requirements, but the implementation period is expected to be from one to three years.

Although the regulations proposed by the E.U. Commission include a cap on DCC fees, the regulations proposed by the E.U. Council and those currently under consideration by the Parliament do not include a cap. All three versions include requirements for reinforced consumer disclosure (“transparency”) and consumer choice in DCC transactions.

Any regulation of DCC that may be adopted, including a cap on fees and reinforced transparency or consumer choice in DCC transactions, could materially and adversely impact our financial results, by reducing the number of DCC transactions performed over our networks and the level of profit we generate from such transactions.

The E.U. has passed a new regulation called the GDPR that establishes stringent requirements for the collection, handling and processing of personal information of individuals within the E.U. The GDPR creates certain rights of individuals regarding their own personal information processed by companies as well as requirements for information security, and imposes significant fines that may be revenue-based for violation of its requirements. The GDPR came into effect across the E.U. on May 25, 2018. The GDPR applies outside of Europe to certain personal information of E.U. persons that is held or processed by foreign based companies, including U.S. companies. Any failure on our part to comply with the requirements of the GDPR could result in the imposition of fines and penalties that could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

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 Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s 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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 58

Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, such Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to 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 stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit.

EXECUTION COPY (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 (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “L/C Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s 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 Master Revolving 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.

EXECUTION COPY (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 Agent’s 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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer. (v) Each Lender’s 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 (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant to this Section 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. NYDOCS02/1161559.5 61

If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may 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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 62

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 Borrower’s 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.

Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to such Borrower’s use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s 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 Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the applicable L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.

The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Primary Currency Swingline Lender.

Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 2.11 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly 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 Administrative Agent’s 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 Administrative Agent’s Office in such other 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 Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., NYDOCS02/1161559.5 76


 
EXECUTION COPY 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. (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Floating LIBOR Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with 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 Lender’s 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. (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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 77


 
EXECUTION COPY 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. 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 Lender’s receiving payment of a 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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 78


 
EXECUTION COPY (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 Lender’s 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.

(e) 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s status. 2.15 [Reserved] 2.16 Cash Collateral. (a) Certain Credit Support Events.

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 applicable Borrowers 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. 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. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer or a Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(viii) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.06 or 9.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 11.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Credit Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 shall be applied in accordance with Section 9.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 2.17 Defaulting Lenders.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.16. (C) With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. (iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders with the applicable Revolving Commitments in accordance with their respective pro rata share (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause any Non- Defaulting Lender’s share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loan Obligations to exceed its Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non- Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be NYDOCS02/1161559.5 84


 
EXECUTION COPY effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14. (vi) Replacement. The Defaulting Lender may be replaced and its interests assigned as provided in Section 11.13. (vii) Termination of Commitments.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lenders and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided; further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement. (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (iv) 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 (or such later date on which it first becomes a Borrower), 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. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, 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 each Credit Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges NYDOCS02/1161559.5 90

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Credit Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after- Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person. (g) Survival.

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 Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Fixed 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 applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Borrower 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 of such Lender’s Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates NYDOCS02/1161559.5 91


 
EXECUTION COPY based upon the Fixed LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Fixed LIBOR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. (b) Designated Lenders and Illegality. Each Lender at its option may make any Credit Extension to any Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender (each a “Designated Lender”) to make such Credit Extension (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.05 and 11.04 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement; provided, however, if any Lender or any Designated 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 Designated Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension to any Designated Borrower who is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State thereof or the District of Columbia then, on notice thereof by such Lender to EWI through the Administrative Agent, and until such notice by such Lender is revoked, any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension shall be suspended. Upon receipt of such notice, the Credit Parties shall, take all reasonable actions requested by such Lender to mitigate or avoid such illegality. 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. (a) If in connection with any request for a Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits in the applicable currency are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for the applicable currency, the applicable amount or the applicable Interest Period for such Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan, (B) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Fixed LIBOR Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Fixed LIBOR Rate for the applicable currency for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan, or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan which is based on the Fixed LIBOR Rate, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the affected Borrowers and Lenders. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Fixed LIBOR Rate NYDOCS02/1161559.5 92


 
EXECUTION COPY component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Fixed LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case 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 Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies in respect thereof or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or unaffected Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans, as appropriate, in the amount specified therein. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this Section, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a)(i) of this Section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrowers or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to EWI) that the Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or (ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, NYDOCS02/1161559.5 93


 
EXECUTION COPY then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice , as applicable, the Administrative Agent and EWI may amend this Credit Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and EWI unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment and specifying the specific provisions to which they object. If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify EWI and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Fixed LIBOR Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Credit Agreement. As used above: “LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate. “LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the Administrative Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time). “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines in consultation with EWI). NYDOCS02/1161559.5 94


 
EXECUTION COPY 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 any reserve requirement reflected in the Fixed LIBOR Rate) or the L/C Issuer; (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or (iii) impose on any Lender or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, the interest on which is determined by reference to the Fixed LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or 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 L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time NYDOCS02/1161559.5 95


 
EXECUTION COPY upon request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail (i) a description of the Change in Law, (ii) the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and (iii) the calculation of such amount or amounts and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and L/C Issuer will calculate such amount or amounts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (e) Reserves on Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each Lender, 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 Revolving Commitments or the funding of the Fixed 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 the Borrowers shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs 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 Borrowers shall promptly compensate, or cause to be compensated, such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: NYDOCS02/1161559.5 96


 
EXECUTION COPY (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Fixed 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 any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Fixed LIBOR Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Borrower; (c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or (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 any Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13; including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment 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, or cause to be paid, 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 calculation of the loss, cost or expenses claimed. Each Lender will calculate such amounts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the 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 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 Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (including any L/C Issuer) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender (including any L/C Issuer) 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 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 Sections 3.01 or 3.04, 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, or cause to be paid, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. NYDOCS02/1161559.5 97


 
EXECUTION COPY (b) Replacement of Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, Swap Contracts, Treasury Management Agreements or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, (i) 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 and (ii) the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. 4.02 Obligations Unconditional. (a) The obligations of the 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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 98

(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 NYDOCS02/1161559.5 99

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (e) Limitations on 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 such Participant is made with each applicable Borrower’s 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(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 11.19 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.
