at length, as any of the foregoing have been or may be amended, modified or

modifications, waivers or other changes in the terms of any of the Incorporated
Provisions shall automatically constitute an amendment to this Letter Agreement

Incorporated Provision which operate to waive or prevent the occurrence of a
default or “Event of Default” under the Other Loan Document shall not be

part of this Letter Agreement. At any time after a Termination, the Borrower
shall promptly upon the Bank’s request execute and deliver to the Bank a
supplement to this Letter Agreement, which supplement will expressly incorporate
into this Letter Agreement all or any number of the Incorporated Provisions of
the terminated Other Loan Document as the Bank in its sole discretion shall
select, as such Incorporated Provisions are in effect immediately prior to the
date of Termination.

Term Note   (PNCBANK LOGO) [l24243al2424301.gif] (Multi-Rate Options)          
$100,000,000.00   November 27, 2006

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED, an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”),
with an address at 5995 Mayfair Road, P.O. Box 3077, North Canton, Ohio
44720-8077, promises to pay to the order of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the
“Bank"), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds at its offices located at 1375 East Ninth Street, Cleveland,
Ohio 44114, or at such other location as the Bank may designate from time to
time, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000.00),
together with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the
date hereof, all as provided below.
1. Rate of Interest. Amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a
rate or rates per annum as may be selected by the Borrower from the interest
rate options set forth below (each, an “Option”):
     (i) Base Rate Option. A rate of interest per annum which is at all times
equal to the higher of (A) the Prime Rate or (B) the Federal Funds Rate plus
fifty (50) basis points (0.50%) (“Base Rate”). There are no required minimum
interest periods for amounts bearing interest under the Base Rate Option.
     (ii) LIBOR Option. A rate per annum equal to (A) LIBOR plus
(B) seventy-five (75) basis points (0.75%), for the applicable LIBOR Interest
Period.
For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal
holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed
for business in Cleveland, Ohio.
“Federal Funds Rate” shall mean for any day the rate per annum (based on a year
of 360 days and actual days elapsed) determined in good faith by the Bank in
accordance with its usual procedures (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) to be the Open Rate for federal funds transactions as of
the opening of business for federal funds transactions among members of the
Federal Reserve System arranged by federal funds brokers on such day, as quoted
by Garvin Guybutler (or any successor) or any other broker selected in good
faith by the Bank, as set forth on the applicable Telerate display page;
provided however, that if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate
for such day shall be the Open Rate on the immediately preceding Business Day or
if no such rate shall be quoted by a federal funds broker at such time, such
other rate as determined in good faith by the Bank in accordance with its usual
procedures (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If
and when the Federal Funds Rate changes, the rate of interest with respect to
any advance to which the Federal Funds Rate applies will change automatically
without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.
“LIBOR” shall mean, with respect to any amount to which the LIBOR Option applies
for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, the interest rate per annum determined
by the Bank by dividing (the resulting quotient rounded upwards, if necessary,
to the nearest 1/16th of 1%) (i) the rate of interest determined in good faith
by the Bank in accordance with its usual procedures (which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) to be the eurodollar rate two (2) Business
Days prior to the first day of such LIBOR Interest Period for such amount and
having a borrowing date and a maturity comparable to such LIBOR Interest Period
by (ii) a number equal to 1.00 minus the LIBOR Reserve Percentage.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“LIBOR Interest Period” shall mean, with respect to any amount to which the
LIBOR Option applies, the period of seven (7), fourteen (14) or twenty-one
(21) days as selected by the Borrower on the date of disbursement of such amount
(or the date of conversion of any amount to the LIBOR Option, as the case may
be) and each successive period selected by the Borrower thereafter; provided
that, (i) if a LIBOR Interest Period would end on a day which is not a Business
Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in
the next succeeding calendar month in which case the LIBOR Interest Period shall
end on the next preceding Business Day, and (ii) the Borrower may not select a
LIBOR Interest Period that would end on a day after the Maturity Date (as
hereinafter defined).
“LIBOR Reserve Percentage” shall mean the maximum effective percentage in effect
on such day as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (or any successor) for determining the reserve requirements (including,
without limitation, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserve requirements)
with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”).
“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Bank from time to
time as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by the
Bank as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers. The Prime Rate is not
tied to any external rate of interest or index, and does not necessarily reflect
the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Bank to any particular class
or category of customers. If and when the Prime Rate changes, the rate of
interest with respect to any amounts to which the Base Rate Option applies will
change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of
any such change.
LIBOR shall be adjusted with respect to any amounts to which the LIBOR Option
applies on and as of the effective date of any change in the LIBOR Reserve
Percentage. The Bank shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of LIBOR as
determined or adjusted in accordance herewith, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
If the Bank reasonably determines (which determination shall be final and
conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market
generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered
to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do
not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the
Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) the
availability of the LIBOR Option shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate
for all amounts then bearing interest under the LIBOR Option shall be converted
at the expiration of the then current LIBOR Interest Period to the Base Rate.
In addition, if, after the date of this Note, the Bank shall reasonably
determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any
enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule
or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any
guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or
impossible for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR, the
Bank shall notify the Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Bank
notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer apply (which it agrees to promptly do if such is the case), (a) the
availability of the LIBOR Option shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate
on all amounts then bearing interest under the LIBOR Option shall be converted
to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest
Period(s) if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain or fund loans based on
LIBOR to such day, or (ii) immediately if the Bank may not lawfully continue to
maintain or fund loans based on LIBOR.
The foregoing notwithstanding, it is understood that the Borrower may select
different Options to apply simultaneously to different portions of this Note and
may select up to three (3) different interest periods to apply simultaneously to
different portions of this Note bearing interest under the LIBOR Option.
Interest hereunder on amounts bearing interest under the LIBOR Option will be
calculated based on the actual number of days that

- 2 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days. Interest hereunder on amounts
bearing interest under the Base Rate Option will be calculated based on the
actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 365/366 days.
In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed
by law.
2. Interest Rate Election. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Note, at
the end of each interest period applicable to any amounts hereunder, the
Borrower may renew the Option applicable to such amounts or convert such amounts
to a different Option; provided that, during any period in which any Event of
Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred and is continuing, any amounts
bearing interest under the LIBOR Option shall, at the Bank’s sole discretion, be
converted at the end of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period to the Base Rate
and the LIBOR Option will not be available to Borrower with respect to the
conversion or renewal of any other amounts until such Event of Default has been
cured by the Borrower or waived by the Bank. The Borrower shall notify the Bank
of each election of an Option, each conversion from one Option to another, the
amount of the portions hereunder to be allocated to each Option and where
relevant the interest periods therefor. In the case of converting to the LIBOR
Option, such notice shall be given at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
commencement of any LIBOR Interest Period. If no interest period is specified in
any such notice for an amount that is to bear interest under the LIBOR Option,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a LIBOR Interest Period of one
week’s duration. If no notice of election, conversion or renewal is timely
received by the Bank with respect to any amount hereunder, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have elected the Base Rate Option therefor. Any such election shall be
promptly confirmed in writing by such method as the Bank may require.
3. Payment of Interest. The Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the unpaid
principal balance of this Note in arrears: (a) for amounts hereunder bearing
interest under the Base Rate Option, on the last day of each calendar quarter
during the term hereof, (b) for amounts hereunder bearing interest under the
LIBOR Option, on the last day of the respective LIBOR Interest Period for such
amounts, and (c) for all outstanding amounts, at maturity, whether by
acceleration of this Note or otherwise, and after maturity, on demand until paid
in full.
4. Payment of Principal. All outstanding principal and any unpaid accrued
interest shall be due and payable in full on December 27, 2006 (the “Maturity
Date").
If any payment under this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or public
holiday under the laws of the State where the Bank’s office indicated above is
located, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with
such payment. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to charge the Borrower’s deposit
account at the Bank for any payment when due hereunder, and the Bank agrees to
provide the Borrower with prompt written notice of any such charge. Payments
received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’
fees), accrued interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its
sole discretion.
5. Default Rate. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise,
and at the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding
under this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be two
percentage points (2%) in excess of the interest rate otherwise in effect from
time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law
(the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not
judgment shall be entered on this Note. The Default Rate is imposed as
liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to
the handling of delinquent payments, but is in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan
Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or
attorneys which the Bank may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the
increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default. The
Borrower agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast of just
compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and that the
actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and without
difficulty.
6. Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any amount hereunder
at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part; subject, however, to
payment of any break funding indemnification amounts owing pursuant to paragraph
7 below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

7. Yield Protection; Break Funding Indemnification. The Borrower shall pay to
the Bank within fifteen (15) days of written demand therefor, together with the
written evidence of the justification therefor, all direct costs incurred,
actual losses suffered or payments made by Bank by reason of any change in law
or regulation or its interpretation thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) imposing any reserve, deposit, allocation of capital, or similar
requirement (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) on the Bank, its holding company or any
of their respective assets. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the
Bank against any liabilities, actual losses or actual expenses (including,
without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or
employing deposits from third parties, and any actual loss or actual expense
incurred in connection with funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any
amounts hereunder (or any part thereof) bearing interest under the LIBOR Option
(but excluding the loss of anticipated profits) which the Bank sustains or
incurs as a consequence of either (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment
on the due date thereof, (ii) the Borrower’s revocation (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or in part of any notice given to
Bank to request, convert, renew or prepay any amounts bearing interest under the
LIBOR Option, or (iii) the Borrower’s payment or prepayment (whether voluntary,
after acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise) or conversion of
any amounts bearing interest under the LIBOR Option on a day other than the
regularly scheduled due date therefor. A notice as to any amounts payable
pursuant to this paragraph given to the Borrower by the Bank shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable within fifteen
(15) days of written demand. The Borrower’s indemnification obligations
hereunder shall survive the payment in full of all amounts payable hereunder.
8. Other Loan Documents. This Note is issued in connection with a letter
agreement between the Borrower and the Bank, dated as of the date hereof (the
“Letter Agreement”), and the other agreements and documents executed and/or
delivered in connection therewith, the terms of which are incorporated herein by
reference (as amended, modified or renewed from time to time, collectively the
“Loan Documents”).
9. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events will be
deemed to be an “Event of Default” under this Note: (i) the nonpayment of any
principal under this Note when due, or nonpayment of interest or other
indebtedness under this Note within 5 Business Days after written notice from
the Bank that the same has become due; (ii) the occurrence of any event of
default or any default and the lapse of any notice or cure period, or any
Obligor’s failure to observe or perform any covenant or other agreement, under
or contained in any Loan Document; (iii) the filing by or against any Obligor of
any proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization,
liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding (and, in the case of any such
proceeding instituted against any Obligor, such proceeding is not dismissed or
stayed within 60 days of the commencement thereof, provided that the Bank shall
not be obligated to advance additional funds hereunder during such period);
(iv) any assignment by any Obligor for the benefit of creditors; (v) a default
with respect to any other indebtedness of the Borrower and any of its
subsidiaries for borrowed money aggregating in excess of $15,000,000.00, if the
effect of such default is to cause or permit the acceleration of such debt;
(vi) the entry of a final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess
of $15,000,000.00 in aggregate amount against the Borrower and any of its
subsidiaries which is not stayed on appeal and the failure of the Borrower or
subsidiary to discharge the judgment or order within ninety (90) days of the
entry thereof; (vii) the Borrower ceases doing business as a going concern;
(viii) any representation or warranty made by any Obligor to the Bank in any
Loan Document is false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect as of
the date made; (ix) a Change in Control shall occur; or (x) the revocation or
attempted revocation, in whole or in part, of any guarantee by any Obligor. As
used herein, (a) the term “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to
such term in the Other Loan Document (as defined in the Letter Agreement); and
(b) the term “Obligor” means any Borrower and any guarantor of the Borrower’s
obligations to the Bank under the Loan Documents existing on the date of this
Note or arising in the future.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (a) the Bank shall be under no
further obligation to make advances hereunder; (b) if an Event of Default
specified in clause (iii) or (iv) above shall occur, the outstanding principal
balance and accrued interest hereunder together with any additional amounts
payable hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without demand or notice
of any kind; (c) if any other Event of Default shall occur, the outstanding
principal balance and accrued interest hereunder together with any additional
amounts payable

- 4 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

hereunder, at the Bank’s option and without demand or notice of any kind, may be
accelerated and become immediately due and payable; (d) at the Bank’s option,
this Note will bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of the occurrence
of the Event of Default; and (e) the Bank may exercise from time to time any of
the rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents or under applicable
law.
10. Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against
the Borrower’s money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the
Bank shall have, with respect to the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under
this Note and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual right of setoff
against all of the Borrower’s deposits, moneys, securities and other property
now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, the
Bank or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services
Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether
held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise,
excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every such right of
setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Borrower, but only
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; the Bank
agrees to provide the Borrower with prompt subsequent notice of any such
exercise. Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised
without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its
books and records at a later time.
11. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each of the Bank, each legal
entity, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with
the Bank, and each of their respective directors, officers and employees (the
“Indemnified Parties”), and to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and
against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including
all fees and charges of internal or external counsel with whom any Indemnified
Party may consult and all expenses of litigation and preparation therefor) which
any Indemnified Party may incur or which may be asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any person, entity or governmental authority (including any person or
entity claiming derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), in connection with or
arising out of or relating to the matters referred to in this Note or in the
other Loan Documents or the use of any advance hereunder, whether (a) arising
from or incurred in connection with any breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant by the Borrower, or (b) arising out of or resulting from any suit,
action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation, pending or threatened,
whether based on statute, regulation or order, or tort, or contract or
otherwise, before any court or governmental authority; provided, however, that
the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnity agreement contained in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Note, payment of any amounts
hereunder and the assignment of any rights hereunder. The Borrower may
participate at its expense in the defense of any such action or claim.
12. Miscellaneous. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other
communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing
(except as may be agreed otherwise above with respect to borrowing requests) and
will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which the
parties may separately agree, including electronic mail. Without limiting the
foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier
service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.
Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party’s
address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to the
other for such purpose in accordance with this paragraph. No delay or omission
on the Bank’s part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair
any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power,
nor will the Bank’s action or inaction impair any such right or power. The
Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law
or in equity. No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any
departure by the Borrower from, any provision of this Note will be effective
unless made in a writing signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, to the extent permitted by law, all
costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in the enforcement of its rights in this
Note and in any security therefor, including without limitation reasonable fees
and expenses of the Bank’s counsel. If any provision of this Note is found to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court, all the other
provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect. The Borrower and
all other makers and endorsers of this Note hereby forever waive presentment,
protest, notice of dishonor and notice of non-payment. The Borrower also waives
all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. This Note shall
bind the Borrower and its heirs, executors,

- 5 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

administrators, successors and assigns, and the benefits hereof shall inure to
the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that
the Borrower may not assign this Note in whole or in part without the Bank’s
written consent and the Bank at any time may assign this Note in whole, and only
in whole, solely as provided in the Letter Agreement.
This Note has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to
be made in the State of Ohio. This Note will be interpreted and the rights and
liabilities of the Bank and the Borrower determined in accordance with the laws
of the State of Ohio, excluding its conflict of laws rules. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court
in the State of Ohio (and appellate courts therefrom); provided that nothing
contained in this Note will prevent the Bank from bringing any action, enforcing
any award or judgment or exercising any rights against the Borrower
individually, against any security or against any property of the Borrower
within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most
convenient forum for both the Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower waives any
objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any
action instituted under this Note.
13. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the Bank and the Borrower irrevocably waives
any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
claim of any nature relating to this Note, any documents executed in connection
with this Note or any transaction contemplated in any of such documents. Each of
the Bank and the Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is knowing and
voluntary.
The Borrower acknowledges that it has read and understood all the provisions of
this Note, including the waiver of jury trial, and has been advised by counsel
as necessary or appropriate.
