1.Applications/Instructions. The request to issue a Credit (an “Application”)shall be irrevocable and in such form as Bank shall from time to time require or agree to accept (including any type of electronic form or means of communication). Inquiries, communications and instructions (whether oral, telephonic, written, electronic mail or transmission, facsimile or other) regarding a Credit, each Application and this Agreement are each referred to herein as “Instructions”(and the term “Application’’ is subsumed within the term “Instruction”). Bank’s records of the content of any Instruction shall be conclusive. Applicant shall be responsible for the final text of a Credit notwithstanding Bank’s recommendation, assistance or drafting or Bank’s use, non-use or refusal to use text submitted by Applicant. Bank may transmit a Credit and any amendment thereto by S.W.I.F.T. message and thereby bind Applicant directly and as indemnitor to the S.W.I.F.T. rules, including rules obligating Applicant or Bank to pay charges.

2.Payment Terms; Obligations Absolute. For each Credit, Applicant shall pay Bank: the amount of each drawing paid by Bank under the Credit on demand, if under a sight draft and at least one Business Day prior to the date when payment is to be made under a time draft (or acceptance relating thereto) or deferred payment obligation; Letter of Credit Commissions, Amendment Fees and Drawing Fees as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, and any other fees and charges in respect of the Credit (including fees for transfer, assignment of proceeds and of any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person) at such rates, amounts and times as Bank and Applicant shall mutually agree (or if no agreement, the rate then customarily charged by Bank); interest on each amount under this Agreement for each day from and including the date such payment is due (without regard to any grace or cure periods) through the date of payment, on demand, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) equal to the lesser of (A) Prime plus 2% and (B) the highest rate permitted by applicable law; Bank’s charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable external counsel fees, expenses and charges) incurred in connection with the protection or enforcement of Bank’s rights under this Agreement and any correspondent’s charges, with interest from the date paid or incurred by Bank through the date of payment by Applicant, on demand, at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 2%; and if Bank determines in good faith that any Regulatory Change regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Bank’s capital or on the capital of Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Credits, to a level below that which Bank or its holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration Bank’s policies and the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time Applicant will pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate of Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section shall be delivered to Applicant and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Applicant shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Rev. 10/31/2014    3    Arcos Dorados (execution version)

Applicant’s obligation to make payments in any currency (the “Contract Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment or otherwise, that is expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Contract Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the actual receipt by Bank at its designated office of the full amount of the Contract Currency specified to be payable hereunder. Applicant’s obligation to make payments in the Contract Currency shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action to the extent that such actual receipt is less than the full amount of the Contract Currency specified to be payable hereunder, and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for other sums due hereunder. Applicant shall indemnify Bank for any shortfall in such actual receipt.

(b)All payments shall be made in immediately available funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, set-off or other liabilities.

any payment to Bank required under Section 2 above; the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future dejure or defacto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of such Indemnified Person; in each case, including that resulting from Bank’s own negligence, provided, however, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Person claiming indemnification under (i) through (xii) above to the extent that such Costs are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person claiming indemnity. If and to the extent that the obligations of Applicant under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, Applicant shall make the maximum contribution to the Costs permissible under applicable law.

(a)The liability of Bank (or any other Indemnified Person) under, in connection with and/or arising out of this Agreement or any Credit (or any pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to any direct damages suffered by Applicant that are caused directly by Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in honoring a presentation that does not at least substantially comply with a Credit, failing to honor a presentation that strictly complies with a Credit or retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Credit. In no event shall Bank be deemed to have failed to act with due diligence or reasonable care if Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 3(c) below. Applicant’s aggregate remedies against Bank and any Indemnified Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Applicant to Bank in respect of the honored presentation in respect of such Credit under Section 2 above, plus interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Bank and the other Indemnified Persons shall not, under any circumstances whatsoever, be liable for any punitive, consequential, indirect or special damages or losses regardless of whether Bank or any Indemnified Person shall have been advised of the possibility thereof or of the form of action in which such damages or losses may be claimed. Applicant shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Bank or any Indemnified Person, including by enforcing its rights in the underlying transaction. Any claim by Applicant for damages under or in connection with this Agreement or any Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount saved by Applicant as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct and (ii) the amount of the loss that would have been avoided had Applicant mitigated damages. If a Credit is to be governed by a law other than that of the State of New York, Bank shall not be liable for any Costs resulting from any act or omission by Bank in accord with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, and Applicant shall indemnify Bank for all such Costs. “Standard Letter of Credit Practice” means, for Bank, any domestic or foreign law or letter of credit practices applicable in the city in which Bank issued the applicable Credit or for its branch or correspondent, such laws and practices applicable in the city in which it has advised, confirmed or negotiated such Credit, as the case may be.
