THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT (
“Agreement”) is made as of the 26th day of May, 2006, by and among
Euronet Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Borrower Agent,
Euronet Services India Pvt Ltd,
a company organized under the laws of India (the “
Borrower”), and
Bank of America, N.A., a national
banking association acting through its branch in Mumbai, India (“
Bank of America”), as agent (in
such capacity, the
“Agent”) and as a lender (and together with the other financial institutions
from time to time party hereto, as lenders, each a “
Lender” and collectively the “
Lenders”).
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agent arrange a three-year revolving line of
credit with the Lenders in the amount of Ten Million US Dollars ($10,000,000); and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to make such loans, the Borrower Agent
has agreed to provide a guarantee of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make such loans available to the Borrower upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined herein. Certain other terms are defined in
Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
ARTICLE 2
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
2.1 Agreement to Lend.
(a)
Revolving Loans. Each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans (each a “
Revolving Loan”) to
the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period beginning on the Closing Date
through the first Business Day before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in such amounts as the
Borrower shall request as provided in
Section 4.8 hereof not to exceed in aggregate principal
amount outstanding at any time, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitment
and, to the extent such Lender is an L/C Issuer, to treat each draw under any Letter of Credit as a
Revolving Loan as provided in
Section 2.4 below;
provided,
however, that no Lender shall have any
obligation to make a requested Revolving Loan if, (A) a Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or (B) after the making of such Revolving Loan, (I) the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate undrawn amount under all
outstanding Letters of Credit, would exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitments, or (II) a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be
continuing. The Borrower may terminate or reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Credit
Commitment at any time by giving notice to the Lender as provided in Section 4.8 below, provided
that any partial reduction shall be in an amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or
the equivalent amount in the Funding Currency. Revolving Loans shall be used to pay existing
intercompany indebtedness, for working capital and for other corporate or business purposes.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3, if the aggregate principal indebtedness of
the Borrower under the Revolving Notes, plus the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding
Letters of Credit, at any time exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall
immediately, without demand or notice, pay principal under the Revolving Notes so that the
aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder, plus the aggregate undrawn amount under all
outstanding Letters of Credit, does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that in
the case of Letters of Credit, such amount shall be held as cash collateral for undrawn Letters of
Credit, and shall promptly be returned to the Borrower if Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such overadvance expire undrawn.
2.2 Revolving Note. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by and repaid in accordance with
Revolving Notes executed by the Borrower in favor of each Lender, in the form of Exhibit 2.2
hereto, dated as of the Closing Date or, with respect to Revolving Notes issued to a financial
institution that becomes a Lender subsequent to the Closing Date, the date such financial
institution becomes a Lender, and each Revolving Note shall be payable to the order of the
applicable Lender. Such Notes and any and all amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals,
reaffirmations, restatements, replacements and substitutions thereof and therefor executed with
respect to the Revolving Loans are herein referred to as the “Revolving Notes”. Interest shall
accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Notes outstanding from time to time at a
rate or rates determined as provided in Section 4.3 below. The Revolving Notes shall be paid in
full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
2.3 Increase of the Commitment.
(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Agent
(which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower Agent, on behalf of the Borrower may on a
one-time basis, request an increase in the Commitments by an amount not exceeding $15,000,000;
provided that:
(i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000;
provided that, the aggregate of (x) such increase
plus (y) any concurrent increase in the
“Commitment” under the US
Credit Agreement,
plus (z) any concurrent increase in the
“Commitment” under the Euro
Credit Agreement shall be a minimum of $5,000,000; and
(ii) after giving effect to any such increase, the aggregate of (x) the Commitment
under this Agreement, plus (y) the “Commitment” under the US
- 2 -
At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower Agent (in consultation with the Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event
be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time
period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal
to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata share of such requested increase. Any Lender not
responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Agent shall notify
the Borrower Agent and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To
achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Agent and the
L/C Issuer (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower Agent may also invite
additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.
(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitment is increased in accordance with
this Section, the Agent and the Borrower Agent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase
Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the
Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Obligor dated as of the
Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a responsible officer of
such Obligor (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Obligor approving or
consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 7
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except
to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists. The
Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata shares arising
from any nonratable increase in the Commitment under this Section.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections
4.5 or 13.9 to the contrary.
2.4 The Letter of Credit Commitment.
- 3 -
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in

Borrower, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with
subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders
severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any
drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with
respect to any Letter of Credit:

(II) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender,
plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations shall not
exceed such Lender’s Commitment.
Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to
be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit
shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.
(b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
(i) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months
after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry
date; or
(ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.
(c) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its
terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any
applicable law to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or
request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise
compensated hereunder)
- 4 -
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C
Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;
(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C
Issuer;
(iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is in
an initial stated amount less than $50,000;
(iv) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than the Funding Currency;
(v) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated
amount after any drawing thereunder; or
(vi) a default of any Lender’s obligations to fund exists or any Lender is at such time a
Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with
the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to such Lender.
(d) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be
permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(e) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the
proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(f) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article 12 with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed
to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the
term “Agent” as used in Article 12 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions,
and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
2.5 Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit.
(a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a Letter of
Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a responsible officer of the Borrower.
Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Agent not later than
11:00 a.m., Mumbai, India time at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Agent
and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the
proposed issuance date
- 5 -
or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an
initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and
detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D)
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be
presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any
certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such
other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of
amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and
(D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to
the L/C Issuer and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested
Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the
Agent may require.
(b) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm
with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of
Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy
thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Agent or any Loan
Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the
applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 6 shall
not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on
the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the
applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual
and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(c) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit
to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also
deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or
amendment.
2.6 Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(a) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof. Not later
than 4:00 p.m., Mumbai time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit
(each such date, an “
Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Agent in
an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C
Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the
- 6 -
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Prime Lending Rate
Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified herein for the principal amount of Loans, but subject
to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth
in Article 6 (other than the delivery
of a Loan Request). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this Section
2.6(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.
(b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.6(a) make funds available to the
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent’s principal office in an amount equal to its
Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m., Mumbai time on the Business Day
specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(c), each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Prime Lending Rate Loan to the
Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of
Prime Lending Rate Loans as provided in Section 2.6(a) because the conditions set forth in Article
6 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from
the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced,
which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of
the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation
in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.6.
(d) Until each Lender funds its Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.6 to reimburse
the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.
(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for
amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.6, shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer,
the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.6 is subject to the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than delivery by the
Borrower of a Loan Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair
the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment
- 7 -
made by
the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6
by the time specified in Section 2.6(b), the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such
Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a
rate per annum equal to the greater of the Prime Lending Rate and a rate determined by the L/C
Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the
L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.6(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.7 Repayment of Participations.
(a) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with
Section 2.6, if the Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the
related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,
including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to
such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments,
to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same
funds as those received by the Agent.
(b) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section
2.6(a) is required to be returned under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
annum equal to the Prime Lending Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.
2.8 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each
drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any
other Loan Document;
(b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower
may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any
Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
- 8 -
transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by
such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated
transaction;
(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(d) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any
payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee
in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or
other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,
including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, the Borrower.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that
is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions
or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
2.9 Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender, the Borrower Agent and the Borrower agree that, in
paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C
Issuer, the Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisers and
agents (collectively the “Related Parties”) nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the
L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any
Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the
- 9 -
L/C Issuer shall
be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Sections 2.8(a) through 2.8(e);
provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or
exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C
Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under
any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and
certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In
furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear
on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any
notice or information to the
contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason.
2.10 Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any
full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C
Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any
reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the
then aggregate outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations. For purposes of this Section 2.10, “Cash
Collateralize” shall mean to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of
the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account
balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of
such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of
the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all
balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a
blocked Cash Collateral Account at Bank of America.
2.11 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the
Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing
Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
2.12 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each
Lender fees with respect to the Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of
Section 5.1(c) (the “Letter of Credit Fee”). Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each
fiscal quarter of the Borrower Agent, commencing with the first such date to occur after the
issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the
Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the
Default Rate.
- 10 -
2.13 Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof
and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
2.14 Letters of Credit Issued for Affiliates. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued
or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, an
Affiliate of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any such Affiliates inures to the benefit of the
Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such
Affiliates.
2.15 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of
Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at
such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by
its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic
increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be
the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases,
whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
2.16 Indemnity. The Borrower shall immediately on demand indemnify the L/C Issuer against any
cost, loss or liability incurred by the L/C Issuer (other than by reason of the L/C Issuer’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct) in acting as L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit requested by
the Borrower.
ARTICLE 3
CURRENCY
3.1 Currency and Amount. The amounts of all Commitments, Loans, L/C Obligations and other
monetary obligations hereunder shall be measured in the Base Currency. The Loans shall be funded
in the Funding Currency and such Loans, together with any interest or fees related thereto shall be
repaid in the Funding Currency. Letters of Credit shall be issued in the Funding Currency and all
L/C Obligations with respect thereto shall be paid in the Funding Currency.
3.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]
3.3 Translation Calculations. (a) No later than 11:00 a.m., Mumbai time, on the last
day of each month that is a Business Day (each a “Calculation Date”), the Agent will determine the
Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to the Funding Currency and the Agent shall
give written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Agent. The Exchange Rate so determined
shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation
Date (a “Reset Date”), and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall
for all purposes of this Agreement be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between
the Base Currency and the Funding Currency.
- 11 -
(b) Not later than 4:00 p.m., Mumbai time, on each Reset Date and on each date on which
Revolving Loans are made or continued or Letters of Credit are issued or amended, the Agent shall
determine the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding plus the
aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit in the equivalent of the Base
Currency.
(c) In the event the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans plus the
aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding Letters of Credit (calculated in accordance with
this Section 3.3) exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower Agent. The Borrower (and the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrower) shall
not be entitled to make any further Loan Requests (other than with respect to continuations of
outstanding Loans) and
the Lenders will have no obligation to make any Loans (other than the continuations of
outstanding Loans), for so long as such condition is continuing.
(d) Without limiting Section 3.3(c), in the event the amount by which the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all Revolving Loans plus the aggregate undrawn amount under all outstanding
Letters of Credit (calculated in accordance with this Section 3.3) exceeds the Revolving
Commitments, is greater than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the Borrower shall, not later than
the next Business Day following receipt of the notice provided in accordance with Section 3.3(b),
and without any further demand or notice, pay principal under its Revolving Notes in the amount by
which such amount exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).
3.4 Agent’s Calculations. All calculations made by the Agent pursuant to this Article 3 will
take into account any repayment, prepayment, consolidation or division of Loans to be made on the
date of such calculations, and will be presumptively correct absent manifest error.
3.5 Currency Indemnity.
(a) If any sum due from an Obligor under the Loan Documents (a “Sum”), or any order, judgment
or award given or made in relation to a Sum, has to be converted from the currency (the “First
Currency”) in which that Sum is payable into another currency (the “Second Currency”) for the
purpose of:
(i) making or filing a claim or proof against that Obligor; or
(ii) obtaining or enforcing an order, judgment or award in relation to any litigation or
arbitration proceedings,
that Obligor shall as an independent obligation, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify
each of the Agent or any Lender to whom that Sum is due against any cost, loss or liability arising
out of or as a result of the conversion including any discrepancy between (A) the rate of exchange
used to convert that Sum from the First Currency into the Second Currency and (B) the rate or rates
of exchange available to that person at the time of its receipt of that Sum; provided, however that
the above indemnity with respect
- 12 -
to the Agent or any Lender, shall not apply to the extent that any
cost, loss or liability arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such
Lender in making such currency conversion.
(b) Each Obligor waives any right it may have in any jurisdiction to pay any amount under the
Loan Documents in a currency or currency unit other than that in which it is expressed to be
payable.
3.6 Currency of Account.
(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) through (e) below, the Base Currency is the currency of account
and payment for any sum due from an Obligor under any Loan Document.
(b) A repayment of a Loan or Sum or a part of a Loan or Sum shall be made in the currency in
which that Loan or Sum is denominated on its due date.
(c) Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of
which the interest is payable was denominated when that interest accrued.
(d) Each payment in respect of costs, expenses or any taxes shall be made in the currency in
which the costs, expenses or such taxes are incurred.
(e) Any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than the Base Currency shall be
paid in that other currency.
3.7 Change of Currency.
(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, if more than one currency or currency unit are at the
same time recognized by the central bank of any country as the lawful currency of that country,
then:
(i) any reference in the Loan Documents to, and any obligations arising under the Loan
Documents in, the currency of that country shall be translated into, or paid in, the currency or
currency unit of that country designated by the Agent; and
(ii) any translation from one currency or currency unit to another shall be at the official
rate of exchange recognized by the central bank of such country for the conversion of that currency
or currency unit into the other, rounded up or down by the Agent.
(b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement will, to the extent the
Agent specifies to be necessary, be amended to comply with any generally accepted conventions and
market practice in the Relevant Interbank Market and otherwise to reflect the change in currency.

ARTICLE 4
DISBURSEMENTS; INTEREST; PAYMENTS
4.1 Types of Loans. The Loans made on each Disbursement Date may, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, be Prime Lending Rate Loans or MIBOR Rate Loans (each being referred
to as a “type” of Loan) as specified in the applicable Loan Request given by the Borrower or the
Borrower Agent in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof.
4.2 Loan Disbursement Procedures.
(a) Loans shall be disbursed by the Agent upon request by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent
on behalf of the Borrower from time to time on or after
the Closing Date, in such amounts as provided in Section 4.7 below, subject to the limitations
on the Lenders’ obligations to make Loans as set forth in Section 2.1 above. Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow Loans at any time prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date.
(b) Each Loan Request shall be delivered to the Agent in writing or by telex or facsimile
transmission in the manner provided in Section 13.1 hereof, or as otherwise agreed by the Agent, in
the manner and within the time periods set forth in Section 4.8. The Agent may rely and act upon
any such Loan Request which is received from the Borrower Agent or any other person believed by the
Agent in good faith to be authorized to make such request on behalf of the Borrower. The Agent
shall record in its records all Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement and all payments made on the Loans.
4.3 Interest.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders interest on
the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan at the following rates per annum:
(i) Floating Rate Option. During any period while such Loan is a Prime Lending Rate Loan, a
rate per annum equal to the Prime Lending Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable
Margin, in effect from time to time. The rate of interest applicable to Prime Lending Rate Loans
shall change as and when the Prime Lending Rate changes.
(ii) Fixed Rate Option. The Borrower may elect, in accordance with Section 4.8 hereof, to
have a specified portion of the Revolving Loan bear interest from time to time at a fixed rate per
annum equal to the MIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in
effect on the Disbursement Date, the date of conversion or the date of continuation, as
applicable, as adjusted as provided in this Agreement. The interest rate (other than adjustments
to the Applicable
- 14 -
Margin as provided herein) with respect to any MIBOR Rate Loan shall not change
during any Interest Period.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.3(a) above, the Borrower shall pay interest
at the Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any interest or other amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder or under the Revolving Notes (i) that is not paid in full when due (whether
at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on and including the due
date thereof until the same is paid in full and (ii) upon and during the continuance of any
failure to comply with or violation of any of the financial covenants set forth in Article 9 of
this Agreement as shown on and as of the last day of a fiscal quarter as reflected on any
Compliance Certificate.
Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on the last day of each calendar month; provided
that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable, to the extent applicable, from time to
time on demand of the Agent.
(c) The Agent shall, as part of its interest statements, notify the Borrower Agent of any
change in the Prime Lending Rate or the MIBOR Rates in effect and shall, on the request of the
Borrower Agent at any time, notify the Borrower Agent of the MIBOR Rates then in effect.
(d) In the event that the Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of the Borrower fails to
select the type of Loan or the duration of any Interest Period for any MIBOR Rate Loan within the
time period and otherwise as provided in Section 4.8, such Loan (if outstanding as a MIBOR Rate
Loan) will be automatically converted into a Prime Lending Rate Loan on the last day of the then
current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Prime Lending Rate Loan) will remain
as, or will be made as, a Prime Lending Rate Loan.
(e) The amount of all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of
days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty five (365) days. Interest
on any Loan shall be computed for the period commencing on and including the date of such Loan to
but excluding the date such Loan is paid in full; provided, however, that if a Loan is repaid on
the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Loan.
4.4 Optional and Mandatory Payments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans in
whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to giving the Agent prior notice
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, provided that (i) each such partial
prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) or the equivalent amount in the Funding Currency calculated in accordance with
the Exchange Rate, and (ii) if any prepayment is made on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, it may be prepaid only upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Agent
and the Borrower shall pay to the Agent any applicable fees and amounts described in Section 5.2(a)
below. Amounts prepaid in respect of Loans under this Section 4.4 may be re-
- 15 -
borrowed subject to
the terms and conditions hereof. The Borrower shall make mandatory principal payments on the Loans
as provided in Section 2.1(b), Section 2.2 and Section 3.3(d) above.
4.5 Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 4.8 below,
all payments of principal, interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items payable by the
Borrower hereunder and under the Revolving Notes shall be made in the Funding Currency but shall be
calculated by the Agent in Dollars and shall be credited on the date of receipt by the Agent for
the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders if received by the Agent at its principal office in Mumbai, in
immediately available funds, prior to 4:00 p.m., Mumbai time, on a Business Day. Payments made in
funds which are not immediately available shall be credited only when the funds are collected by
the Agent, and payments received (whether from the Borrower in immediately available funds or
through the collection of funds which were not immediately available at the time payment was
tendered by the Borrower) after 4:00 p.m. (Mumbai time) will be credited on the next Business Day.
The Agent reserves the right to apply all payments received by it from the Borrower and designated
or authorized to be applied to the Revolving Notes first to any Fees and other charges then due to
the Agent or the Lenders, then to
accrued interest on such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis
and then to reduction of the principal balance of such Revolving Notes for the benefit of the
Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, or such other order as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion.
The Agent shall also record in its records, in accordance with customary accounting practice, all
interest, Fees, taxes, charges, expenses and other items properly chargeable to the Borrower with
respect to the Loans, all payments received by the Agent for application to the Obligations, and
all other appropriate debits and credits. The Agent’s records shall constitute prima facie
evidence of the amount of Obligations outstanding from time to time. All payments received by the
Agent shall be distributed by Agent in accordance with this Section 4.5, subject to the rights of
offset that Agent may have as to amounts otherwise to be remitted to a particular Lender by reason
of amounts due to the Agent from such Lender under any of the Loan Documents.
(b) (i) Each Obligor shall make all payments by it required hereunder or under any other
Loan Document without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.
(ii) The Borrower Agent shall promptly, upon any Obligor becoming aware that an
Obligor has had or will have to make a Tax Deduction (or that there has been or will be a
change in the rate at which or the basis on which any Tax Deduction has to be made), notify
the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Agent upon becoming so aware
in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Agent receives such notification
from a Lender it shall notify the Borrower Agent and the applicable Obligor.
(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by an Obligor, the amount of the
payment in respect of which the Tax Deduction is required to be made shall be increased to
the amount which (after making any Tax Deduction)
- 16 -
will leave an amount equal to the payment
which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.
4.6 Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction
of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is a resident for tax
purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder
or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent), at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In
addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject
to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or
prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender
is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a

Borrower’s ability to request a continuation of a MIBOR Rate Loan as a result of it not meeting the
minimum amount or multiple amount requirements of this Section 4.7.
4.8 Certain Requests and Notices. (a) The Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of the
Borrower will request borrowings and give notice to the Agent of all terminations or reductions of
the Commitment or conversions, continuations and prepayments of Loans and duration of Interest
Periods substantially in the form of Exhibits 4.8-A and 4.8-B hereto, as applicable (each a “Loan
Request”). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Mumbai time (i) on the Business Day prior to the effective date of
the requested termination or reduction of the Commitment, (ii) on the same day if it is a notice of
a borrowing or prepayment of a Prime Lending Rate Loan (except that if such date is not a Business
Day, then on the next Business Day), or (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
effective date for a borrowing or prepayment of, conversion
into or continuation of a MIBOR Rate Loan or any selection of an Interest Period for a MIBOR
Rate Loan. Any such Loan Request for a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a MIBOR
Rate Loan shall specify, (i) the amount of principal which shall comprise the MIBOR Rate Loan, (ii)
the date on which the rate is to become effective, and (iii) the Interest Period for such MIBOR
Rate Loan. For purposes of calculating the number of Business Days, the date the notice is
received shall be included if received not later than 11:00 a.m. Mumbai time and excluded if
received after 11:00 a.m. Mumbai time.
(b)
Fundings by Lenders. Subject to its receipt of notice from Agent of a Loan Request for a
borrowing as provided in
Section 4.8(a) (except in the case of a deemed request by the Borrower for
a Revolving Loan as provided herein, in which event no Notice of Borrowing need be submitted), each
Lender shall timely honor its Revolving Credit Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each
Revolving Loan that is properly requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent on behalf of the
Borrower and that the Borrower is entitled to receive under this Agreement. Agent shall endeavor
to notify Lenders of each Loan Request (or deemed request for a Borrowing), by 1:00 p.m. Mumbai
time on the proposed funding date (in the case of Prime Lending Rate Loans) or by 3:00 p.m. Mumbai
time at least 2 Business Days before the proposed funding date (in the case of MIBOR Rate Loans).
Each Lender shall deposit with Agent an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of the Revolving Loan
requested or deemed requested by the Borrower at Agent’s designated bank in immediately available
funds not later than 2:00 p.m. Mumbai time on the date of funding of such Revolving Loan, unless
Agent’s notice to the Lenders is received after 1:00 p.m. Mumbai time on the proposed funding date
of a Prime Lending Rate Loan, in which event the Lenders shall deposit with Agent their respective
Pro Rata shares of the requested Revolving Loan on or before
- 18 -
11:00 a.m. Mumbai time on the next
Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Lenders, Agent shall make the
proceeds of the Revolving Loans received by it available to the Borrower by disbursing such
proceeds in accordance with the Borrower’s or Borrower Agent’s disbursement instructions set forth
in the applicable Loan Request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability on account
of any delay by any bank or other depository institution in treating the proceeds of any Revolving
Loan as collected funds or any delay in receipt, or any loss, of funds that constitute a Revolving
Loan, the wire transfer of which was initiated by Agent in accordance with wiring instructions
provided to Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the
proposed time of funding that such Lender does not intend to deposit with Agent an amount equal
such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the requested Revolving Loan (or deemed request), Agent may assume
that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent and Agent may in its
discretion disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the applicable funding date. If a
Lender’s Pro Rata share of such Revolving Loan is not in fact deposited with Agent, then, if Agent
has disbursed to the Borrower an amount corresponding to such share, then such Lender agrees to
pay, and in addition the Borrower agrees to repay, to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed by
Agent to or for the benefit of the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent,
(a) in the case of the Borrower, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loan and (b) in
the case of such Lender, at the Prime Lending Rate. If such Lender repays to Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute a Revolving Loan, and if both
such Lender and the Borrower shall have repaid such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly
return to the Borrower such corresponding amount in same day funds. A notice from Agent submitted
to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 4.8(b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
4.9 Borrower Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Euronet Worldwide, Inc. and
Euronet Worldwide, Inc. agrees to act under this Agreement, as the agent and representative of the
Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement (in such capacity, “Borrower Agent”), including
requesting Revolving Loans, selecting whether any Loan is to be a Prime Lending Rate Loan or a

disbursement instructions, reports, information, or any other notice or communication made or given
by Borrower Agent, either in its own name or on behalf of the Borrower, and Agent shall have no
obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of the Borrower as to
the binding effect on the Borrower of any such Loan Request, instruction, report, information, or
other notice or communication; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.9 shall not be

a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the
date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for

set forth in reasonable detail in the certificates referred to in Section 5.2(a) above.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if it becomes unlawful for the Agent or
any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain MIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or if, on or

determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
referred to in the definition of “MIBOR Rate” in Exhibit 1 hereto are not being provided in the
relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for
MIBOR Rate Loans, then the Agent shall give the Borrower Agent prompt notice thereof, and, so long
as such condition remains in effect, the Agent and the Lenders shall be under no obligation to
make additional MIBOR Rate Loans, to continue MIBOR Rate
Loans or to convert Prime Lending Rate Loans into MIBOR Rate Loans, and the Borrower shall,
on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding MIBOR Rate Loans,

administration and/or (ii) compliance with any request from or requirement of the Reserve Bank of
India (for increasing the capital adequacy costs) or other fiscal, monetary or other authority
(including, without limitation, a request or requirement which affects the manner in which a Lender
or any affiliate allocates capital resources to any Lender’s obligations hereunder) and/or (iii)
unavailability of funding and/or (iv) capital adequacy charge and/or funding losses:

hereunder;

indemnify the Agent, any Lender or any of its affiliate against, as the case may be, (i) such
additional cost (ii) such reduction in rate of return, (iii) such increased cost, or (iv) such
liability. Neither the Agent nor any Lender nor any of their affiliates shall be under any

appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor shall
have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
12.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights
and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act
as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person
were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan
Documents that the Agent is required to
- 44 -
exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Loan Documents), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action
that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrower Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person
serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 13.9 and 11.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower, the Borrower
Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder
or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of

liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of
such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for
any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.

duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties
of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection
with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
12.6 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to
the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Borrower Agent, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United
States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent
may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except
that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees
payable by the Borrower or Borrower Agent to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this
Article and Section 13.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute
its resignation as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation
of Bank of America as L/C Issuer, as the case may be. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the
- 46 -
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer
shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C
Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
12.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or
any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or
based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
12.8 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to any Borrower Party or other Obligor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the
principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the
Borrower Parties) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Agent under Section 13.6.
- 47 -
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
12.9 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize
the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan
Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than

of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower Parties and the L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive
change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to
consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Agent a
copy of the Register.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations)
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or the Lenders affected thereby, that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e)
of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.7 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 5.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the
- 51 -
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 4.5(b) unless
the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant
to Section 13.5(b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower Agent and the
Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation
of Bank of America as L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it
shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters
of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C
Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Prime Lending
Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts).
13.6 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Lenders
and the Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or
in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agent
and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or the Note issued
hereunder, including, but not limited to, all appraisal fees (equipment or otherwise), filing fees
and search fees, the fees, charges and disbursements of Xxxxxxx & Xxxx X.X., counsel for the Agent,
and, in connection with any such
- 52 -

The Borrower further agrees that it shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders from and hold it
harmless against any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority
by reason of the Loans or this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than taxes on the
income of the Agent or any Lender.
(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the making of any
Loans or the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party
thereto (each an “Indemnified Claim”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (ii)
have not, in whole or in part, arisen out of or resulted from any act, or omission to act, of any
Borrower Party or any of their Affiliates.
(c) The provisions of this Section 13.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any
term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 13.6 shall be payable on
written demand therefor.
13.7 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent
and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or any
such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Agent or the Borrower against any
and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and notwithstanding that such
Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 13.7 are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Agent of the
Lenders may have.
13.8 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except as otherwise
expressly provided in such other Loan Documents, shall be governed by and
- 53 -
construed and enforced
under and in accordance with the laws of the State of
Missouri applicable to contracts made and to
be performed wholly within said state, without giving effect to choice of law or conflict of law
principles.
13.9 Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in exercising
any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and each Lender hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which
the Agent or the Lenders would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be contained in a written instrument signed by the Agent and the
Required Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower Party in any case shall
entitle Borrower Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) without the prior written consent of Agent, no amendment or waiver shall be effective with
respect to any provision in any of the Loan Documents (including Section 12) to the extent such
provision relates to the rights, duties, immunities or discretion of Agent;
(ii) without the prior written consent of all Lenders, no waiver of any Default or Event of
Default shall be effective if the Default or Event of Default relates to either any Borrower
Party’s failure to observe or perform any covenant that may not be amended without the unanimous
written consent of Lenders (and, where so provided hereinafter, the written consent of Agent) as
hereinafter set forth in this Section 13.9; and
(iii) written agreement of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender) shall be required to
effectuate any amendment, modification or waiver that would:
A. increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender;
B. postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other
Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other
Loan Document;
C. reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein
on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any
other Loan Document;
- 54 -
D. change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans which is required for the
Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; provided that
Schedule E-1 hereto (Revolving Commitments) may be amended from time to
time by Agent alone to reflect assignments of Commitments in accordance
herewith so long as the total of the Commitments is not modified except as
otherwise permitted hereunder;
E. amend this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing
for consent or other action by all Lenders;
F. release Collateral other than as expressly permitted by this
Agreement; or
G. change the definitions “Required Lenders”;
(iv) without the prior written consent of the L/C Issuer, no amendment or waiver with respect
to the provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, and 2.15
shall be effective;
If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for amendments,
waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at Agent’s election,
such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such amendments,
waivers or consents within the time specified for submission thereof.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a “Proposed Change”)
requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent
of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lenders whose consent is not obtained a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower Agent’s
request, an Eligible Assignee selected by the Borrower Agent or otherwise shall have the right (but
not the obligation) with the Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the
Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for
an amount equal to the principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of sale pursuant to an assignment and acceptance agreement, without
premium or discount.

demand for payment, protest, benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Borrower’s
liability under this Agreement or the Loan Documents; (b) discharge due to any disability of any
Obligor; (c) any defenses of the Borrower to obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents
not arising under the express terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or from a material
breach thereof by Agent or the Lenders which under applicable law has the effect of discharging any
Obligor from the obligations as to which any Loan Document is sought to be enforced;
- 55 -
(d) the
benefit of any act or omission by Agent or the Lenders which directly or indirectly results in or
aids the discharge of any Obligor from any of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise; (e)

acquire concerning the financial condition or any circumstance that bears on the risk of nonpayment
by any Obligor, including, without limitation, the release of any such Obligor from the
Indebtedness; and (g) any requirement that the Agent or the Lenders exhaust any right, power or
remedy or proceed against any Obligor or any other security for, or any guarantor of, or any other
party liable for, any of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof. The Borrower specifically
agrees that it shall not be necessary or required, and the Borrower shall not be entitled to
require, that the Agent or the Lenders (i) file suit or proceed to assert or obtain a claim for
personal judgment against any Obligor for all or any part of the Indebtedness; (ii) make any effort
at collection or enforcement of all or any part of the Obligations from any Obligor; (iii)
foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or hereafter existing for all or any
part of the Indebtedness; (iv) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal
judgment against any Obligor or other party liable for all or any part of the Indebtedness; (v)
exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which the Agent or any Lender is or may be entitled
in connection with the Obligations or any security or guaranty relating thereto to assert; or
(vi) file any claim against assets of one Obligor before or as a condition of enforcing the
liability of any other Obligor under this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the foregoing in any way, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and
releases:
(a) Any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by
operation of law, contract or otherwise) to require the marshaling of any assets of the Borrower,
which right of marshaling might otherwise arise from any such payments made or Obligations
performed;
(b) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any and all rights that
would result in the Borrower being deemed a “Creditor” under the United States Bankruptcy Code of
any Obligor or any other person, on account of payments made or Obligations performed by the
Borrower; and
(c) Until such time as the Obligations have been satisfied in full, any claim, right or remedy
which it may now have or hereafter acquire against any Obligor that arises hereunder and/or from
the performance by it hereunder including, without limitation, any claim, remedy or right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or participation in any
claim, right or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against any Obligor or any collateral security
which the Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter acquire, whether or not such claim, right or
remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.
- 56 -

any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received,
taken or reserved by the Agent or the Lenders, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Agent or the
Lenders in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable under the Note, together
with all Charges payable to the Agent or the Lenders, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes

such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 13.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party
