WHEREAS, Guarantor is a Subsidiary of the Borrower Agent and an Affiliate of the Borrowers and
as such will derive direct and indirect economic benefits from the making of the Loans and other
financial accommodations provided to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to make Loans pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, certain direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Borrower Agent (other than the
Borrowers), including the Guarantor, have agreed to provide guarantees of the Borrowers’
Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants hereinafter contained, and
to induce Lenders to provide the Loans and other financial accommodations under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it is agreed as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit
Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.
References to this “Guaranty” or this “Agreement” shall mean this Guaranty, including all
amendments, modifications and supplements and any annexes, exhibits and schedules to any of the
foregoing, and shall refer to this Guaranty as the same may be in effect at the time such reference
becomes operative.
ARTICLE 2
2.1 Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees
to Agent and Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the
prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of the
Obligations of Borrowers (hereinafter the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations
under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected
by:
(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of,
or change in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, document or instrument to which any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations is or
may become a party;
(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and/or Lenders with respect to any of
the provisions thereof;
(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Liens against, any
Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by
Agent in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such security);
or
(d) the insolvency of the Borrowers or any other obligor for the Guaranteed
Obligations; or
(e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being agreed by the Guarantor that its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged
until all Commitments under the Credit Agreement to lend have been terminated and all Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal
debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor agrees that any notice or
directive given at any time to Agent which is inconsistent with the waiver in
the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void and may be ignored by the Agent and the
Lenders, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation
2
relating
to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the
written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Agent and the Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise
in writing. It is agreed among the Guarantor, the Agent and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers
are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to
enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 Demand by Agent or Lenders. In addition to the terms of the Guaranty set forth in Section
2.1 hereof, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and
agreed that, if, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations under
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (including all accrued interest thereon) is
declared to be immediately due and payable, then the Guarantor shall, without demand, pay to the
holders of the Guaranteed Obligations the entire outstanding Guaranteed Obligations due and owing
to such holders. Payment by the Guarantor shall be made to Agent in immediately available Dollars
or an Optional Currency, calculated at the Exchange Rate to an account designated by Agent or at
the address set forth herein for the giving of notice to Agent or at any other address that may be
specified in writing from time to time by Agent, and shall be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed Obligations.
2.3 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall Agent have any obligation (although it is
entitled, at its option) to proceed against the Borrowers or any obligor for the Guaranteed
Obligations or any Collateral pledged to secure the Guaranteed Obligations before seeking
satisfaction from the Guarantor, and Agent may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously
with, the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may
have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may have as security for all or any portion
of the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.4 Waiver. In addition to the waivers contained in Section 2.1 hereof, Guarantor waives, and
agrees that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or
redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay,
prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantor of its Guaranteed Obligations under,
or the enforcement by Agent or Lenders of, this Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of
time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security,
release of further security, composition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms
of, the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in the Borrower’s financial condition or
any other fact which might increase the risk to the Guarantor) with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or all other demands whatsoever and waive the benefit of all provisions of
law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. The Guarantor represents,
warrants and agrees that, as of the date of this Guaranty, its obligations under this Guaranty are
not subject to any offsets or defenses against the Agent or the Lenders or any obligor for the
Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor further agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty shall
not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against Agent or any Lender or any other obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations which may
arise in the future.
3
2.5 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Agent and
the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein
contained shall impair, as between any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations and the Agent or the
Lenders, the obligations of any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations under the Loan Documents.
In the event all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by
Agent or any Lender to any Person or Persons, any reference to “Agent” or “Lender” herein shall be
deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.
2.6 Modification of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc. Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the Agent and the Lenders may at any time or from time to time, with or without the consent
of, or notice to, the Guarantor or any other obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations:
(a) change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or renew or alter all or
any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;
(b) take any action under or in respect of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to
it at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such remedies,
powers or privileges;
(c) amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document;
(d) extend or waive the time for any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations performance
of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or
observed under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or waive such performance or
compliance or consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or compliance;
(e) take and hold Collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
hereby or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any property pledged,
mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Agent or the Lenders have been granted a Lien, to
secure any Obligations;
(f) release anyone who may be liable in any manner for the payment of any amounts owed
by the Guarantor or any other obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations to the Agent or any
Lender;
(g) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or subordination agreement
pursuant to which claims of other creditors of the Guarantor or any other obligor for the
Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated to the claims of the Agent and the Lenders; and/or
(h) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by the
Guarantor or other obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations to the Agent or any Lender in such
manner as the Agent or any Lender shall determine in its discretion;
4
and the Agent and the Lenders shall not incur any liability to Guarantor as a result thereof, and
no such action shall impair or release the Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
2.7 Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be
effective should any petition be filed by or against the Guarantor or any other obligor for the
Guaranteed Obligations for liquidation or reorganization, should the Guarantor or any other obligor
for the Guaranteed Obligations become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the assets of such
Guarantor or any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent or any Lender, whether as a “voidable
preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had
not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored
or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
2.8 Deferral of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty,
or in any other Loan Document, Guarantor hereby:
(a) expressly and irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and its successors and
assigns (including any surety) until all commitments under the Credit Agreement to lend have
terminated and all Obligations of Borrower have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, any
and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to
contribution, to indemnification, to set off or to any other rights that could accrue to a
surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a principal, to a guarantor against a
maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, to a holder or
transferee against a maker, or to the holder of any claim against any Person, and which
Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations
in connection with or as a result of Guarantor’s execution, delivery and/or performance of
this Guaranty, or any other documents to which Guarantor is a party or otherwise; and
(b) acknowledges and agrees (i) that this waiver is intended to benefit the Agent and
the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise effect the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or
the enforceability of this Guaranty, and (ii) that the Agent, the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and
agreements set forth in this Section 2.8 and their rights under this Section 2.8 shall
survive payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.9 Election of Remedies. If the Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to realize
benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Agent and the Lenders a Lien upon
any Collateral owned by any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations, either by judicial
foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Agent may, at its sole option, determine
which of such remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of such rights and remedies
under this Guaranty. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Agent shall
forfeit
5
any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against
any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to
“election of remedies” or the like, the Guarantor hereby consents to such action by the Agent and
waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Agent shall result in a full or
partial loss of any rights of subrogation which the Guarantor might otherwise have had but for such
action by the Agent. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the
right of the Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any obligor for the Guaranteed Obligations
shall not impair the Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.
In the event the Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale
permitted by law or the Loan Documents, the Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Agent but shall be
credited against the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of
the successful bid at any such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the
collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
under this Guaranty.
2.10 Funds Transfers. If the Guarantor shall engage in any transaction as a result of which
the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
under the terms of the Credit Agreement (including any issuance or sale of Guarantor’s capital
stock or any sale of its assets), to the extent the Borrowers are unable to make such mandatory
prepayment, the Guarantor shall distribute to, or make a contribution to the capital of, the
Borrowers an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment required under the terms of the Credit
Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
DELIVERIES
In a form satisfactory to Agent, Guarantor shall deliver to Agent (with sufficient copies for
each Lender), concurrently with the execution of this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement, the Loan

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce Lenders to make the Loans under the Credit Agreement, Guarantor makes the following

or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to own its property and to carry on
its business in each jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse
effect on its business, properties, assets, operations or financial condition taken as a whole.
6
4.2 Authorization and Validity. Guarantor has the power and authority and legal right to
execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party and to
perform its obligations thereunder. Such execution and delivery have been duly authorized by
proper proceedings, and this Agreement and such other Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, liquidation, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of
creditors generally and (ii) by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in equity or at law).
4.3 No Conflict; Governmental Consent. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party will not violate any law,
rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on any Guarantor, any
provision of Guarantor’s respective articles or certificate of incorporation or organization,
by-laws or other charter documents, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or other written
or oral agreement to which Guarantor is a party or is subject or by which the Guarantor or any of
its property is bound, or conflict therewith or constitute a default thereunder, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on any of its property pursuant to the terms of any
such indenture, instrument or agreement (other than any Lien permitted by Section 10.2 of the
Credit Agreement). No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or
filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required by
or in respect of the Guarantor to authorize or is required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance of or the enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to which Guarantor is a party, except as otherwise required by the terms of such Loan
Document.
4.4 Compliance with Laws; Environmental and Safety Matters. (a) Guarantor represents and
warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that Guarantor has complied with all applicable statutes,
rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the conduct of its businesses or the ownership of its respective
properties except to the extent that such non-compliance will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition or business operations of Borrowers, on a consolidated basis or on the
Euronet Entities on a consolidated basis.
(b) Guarantor has complied with all federal, national, state, local and other statutes,
ordinances, orders, judgments, rulings and regulations relating to environmental pollution,
environmental regulation or control, or employee health or safety, except to the extent that such
non-compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or business
operations of the Borrowers on a consolidated basis; Guarantor has not received any written notice
of any failure so to comply; and none of Guarantor’s facilities treat, store or dispose of any
hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances, toxic pollutants
or substances (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) similarly denominated, as those terms or
similar terms are used in RCRA, CERCLA, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Toxic
Substances Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act or any other state, local or federal applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to
environmental pollution, environmental regulation or control or employee health and safety
(collectively, “Environmental Laws”) in a quantity or manner that requires a permit,
7
registration, or another notification or authorization from a Governmental Authority except for the treatment,
storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials in a quantity or manner which, if in non-compliance
with Environmental Laws, would not have a material adverse effect on the Borrowers’ financial
condition or business operations, taken as a whole. The conduct of the business and the condition
of the property of Guarantor does not violate any Environmental Laws or any judicial interpretation
thereof relating primarily to the environment or Hazardous Materials. Guarantor is not aware of
any events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or contamination or
employee health or safety that could reasonably be expected to result in material liability on the
part of the Borrowers taken as a whole.

all Liens (other than those permitted by Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement), to all of the
properties and assets reflected in its financial statements as owned by it, and its interest in all
other properties and assets in or to which it has an interest as a lessee, licensee or otherwise is
free and clear of all Liens (other than those permitted under Section 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement).
4.6 Taxes. Guarantor has filed all federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are
required to be filed and paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment
received by it, including without limitation all federal and state withholding taxes and all taxes
required to be paid pursuant to applicable law, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested
in good faith, by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate charges, accruals and reserves
have been set aside. No tax Liens have been filed, and no claims are being asserted with respect
to any such taxes, except such tax Liens and claims that will not have a material adverse effect in
the aggregate, on the assets, business, operations or financial condition of the Euronet entities
on a consolidated basis. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Euronet Entities,
on a consolidated basis, in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
4.7 Solvency. Guarantor reasonably anticipates that it will be able to meet its debts as
they mature. Guarantor has adequate capital to conduct the business in which it is engaged.

and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly
or legally asserted, so long as paid by such Agent or such Lender in good faith.

delay in exercising on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege
hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
