Revolving Term Loan Supplement



 Exhibit 10.41 
  
 Loan No. CF101T01 
  
 REVOLVING TERM LOAN SUPPLEMENT 
  
 THIS SUPPLEMENT to the Master Loan Agreement dated September 1, 1999, as amended, (the “MLA”), is entered into as of June 29, 2004
between CoBANK, ACB (“CoBank”) and FCSTONE TRADING, LLC, West Des Moines, Iowa, (the “Company”). 
  
 SECTION 1.   The Revolving Term Loan Commitment.   On the terms and conditions set forth in the MLA and this Supplement,
CoBank agrees to make loans to the Company during the period set forth below in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at anyone time outstanding, the lesser of $7,500,000.00 (the “Commitment”) or the “Borrowing Base” (as
calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Report attached hereto as Exhibit A). Within the limits of the Commitment, but subject to such limitations on borrowings as determined by the Borrowing Base Report, the Company may borrow, repay and
reborrow. 
  
 SECTION 2.  
Purpose.   The purpose of the Commitment is: 
  
 (A)    To provide funding for the following commodities risk management services that the Company provides to its members: (1) the payment of option premiums and margin calls on hedge and swap transaction entered
into by the Company on behalf of members, subject to reimbursement by the members within three business days; and (2) the issuance of letters of credit required by and for the benefit of certain swap transaction counterparties to support the
counterparty’s exposure in over-the-counter derivative swap contract entered into by the Company on the behalf of members. 
  
 (B)    In case of a counterparty default (such as, without limitation, a counterparty bankruptcy or payment default), to fund
the purchase of counterparty bonds for which the Company has separately purchased credit swap derivatives in amounts that provide coverage of at least 1.43 times the counterparty exposure level. All counterparties must have a Standard &
Poor’s bond rating of at least BBB. Providers of credit swaps must have a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA. The maximum exposure with any single counterparty shall not exceed $5.0 million at any time. Any bond purchases funded
by CoBank pursuant to this subsection shall be sold within three business days of purchase, with proceeds applied to CoBank’s loan. 
  
 (C)    To provide interim funding to cover any insured losses (less any deductible or co-pay) occurring as a result of a
counterparty’s default on over-the-counter derivative contracts on physical commodities, from the date of default until the date of the loss, less any deductible or co-pay, that is covered by insurance proceeds. Each request for a loan pursuant
to this subsection shall be accompanied by copies of documentation provided to or requested by the Company’s insurance company in support of a claim under the insurance policy covering the losses described in this subsection. No loan shall
exceed the insured portion of a loss and no loan shall be made except upon proof, in a form acceptable to CoBank, that after 







 
making the loan the Company shall be in compliance with financial covenants set forth in the MLA. 
  
 (D)    To provide funding for working capital
requirements in funding hedged fuel inventory and accounts receivable under the Fuel Alliance Program (formerly the “GIII Shippers Alliance” program). 
  

SECTION 3.   Term.   The term of the Commitment shall be from the date hereof, up to and including June 30, 2006 or
such later date as CoBank may, in its sole discretion, authorize in writing. 
  
 SECTION 4.   Interest.   The Company agrees to pay interest on the unpaid balance of the loans in accordance with one or more of the following interest rate options, as
selected by the Company: 
  
 (A)    CoBank Base Rate. At a rate per annum equal at all times to  1/4 of 1% below the rate of interest established by CoBank from time to time as its CoBank Base Rate, which Rate is intended by CoBank to be a reference rate and not its lowest rate. The CoBank Base Rate will change on the date
established by CoBank as the effective date of any change therein and CoBank agrees to notify the Company of any such change. 
  
 (B)    LIBOR. At a fixed rate per annum equal to “LIBOR” (as hereinafter defined) plus 1  1/2%. Under this option: (1) rates may be fixed for “Interest Periods” (as hereinafter defined) of 1, 2, 3,
6, 9 or 12 months, as selected by the Company; (2) amounts may be fixed in increments of $100,000.00 or multiples thereof; (3) the maximum number of fixes in place at any one time shall be 5; and (4) rates may only be fixed on a “Banking
Day” (as hereinafter defined) on 3 Banking Days’ prior written notice. For purposes hereof: (a) “LIBOR” shall mean the rate (rounded upward to the nearest sixteenth and adjusted for reserves required on “Eurocurrency
Liabilities” (as hereinafter defined) for banks subject to “FRB Regulation D” (as herein defined) or required by any other federal law or regulation) quoted by the British Bankers Association (the “BBA”) at 11:00 a.m. London
time 2 Banking Days before the commencement of the Interest Period for the offering of U.S. dollar deposits in the London interbank market for the Interest Period designated by the Company, as published by Bloomberg or another major information
vendor listed on BBA’s official website; (b) “Banking Day” shall mean a day on which CoBank is open for business, dealings in U.S. dollar deposits are being carried out in the London interbank market, and banks are open for business
in New York City and London, England; (c) “Interest Period” shall mean a period commencing on the date this option is to take effect and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month or the month that is 2, 3, 6, 9
or 12 months thereafter, as the case may be; provided, however, that: (i) in the event such ending day is not a Banking Day, such period shall be extended to the next Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in
which case it shall end on the preceding Banking Day; and (ii) if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month, then such period shall end on the last Banking Day in the relevant month; (d) “Eurocurrency Liabilities” shall have
meaning as set forth in “FRB Regulation D”; and (e) “FRB Regulation D” shall mean Regulation D as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 CFR Part 204, as amended. 







 The Company shall select the applicable rate option at the time it requests a loan hereunder and may, subject to the
limitations set forth above, elect to convert balances bearing interest at the variable rate option to one of the fixed rate options. Upon the expiration of any fixed rate period, interest shall automatically accrue at the variable rate option
unless the amount fixed is repaid or fixed for an additional period in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rates may not be fixed in such a manner as to cause the Company to have to break any fixed rate balance in order
to pay any installment of principal. All elections provided for herein shall be made electronically (if applicable), telephonically or in writing and must be received by CoBank not later than 12:00 Noon Company’s local time in order to be
considered to have been received on that day; provided, however, that in the case of LIBOR rate loans, all such elections must be confirmed in writing upon CoBank’s request. Interest shall be calculated on the actual number of days each loan is
outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be payable monthly in arrears by the 20th day of
the following month or on such other day in such month as CoBank shall require in a written notice to the Company; provided, however, in the event the Company elects to fix all or a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the LIBOR interest
rate option above, at CoBank’s option upon written notice to the Company, interest shall be payable at the maturity of the Interest Period and if the LIBOR interest rate fix is for a period longer than 3 months, interest on that portion of the
indebtedness outstanding shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each three-month anniversary of the commencement date of such Interest Period, and at maturity. 
  
 SECTION 5.   Commitment Fee.   In consideration of the Commitment, the Company agrees to
pay to CoBank a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Commitment at the rate of  1/4 of 1%
per annum (calculated on a 360 day basis), payable quarterly in arrears by the 20th day following each quarter. Such
fee shall be payable for each quarter (of portion thereof) occurring during the original or any extended term of the Commitment. 
  
 SECTION 6.   Promissory Note.   The Company promises to repay the loans that are outstanding at the time the Commitment
expires. If any installment due date is not a day on which CoBank is open for business, then such payment shall be made on the next day on which CoBank is open for business. In addition to the above, the Company promises to pay interest on the
unpaid principal balance hereof at the times and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4 hereof. 
  
 SECTION 7.   Borrowing Base Reports, Etc.   The Company agrees to furnish a Borrowing Base Report to CoBank at such
times or intervals as CoBank may from time to time request. Until receipt of such a request, the Company agrees to furnish a Borrowing Base Report to CoBank within 30 days after each month end calculating the Borrowing Base as of the last day of the
month for which the Report is being furnished. However, if no balance is outstanding hereunder on the last day of such month, then no Report need be furnished. Regardless of the frequency of the reporting, if at any time the amount outstanding under
the Commitment exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Company shall immediately notify CoBank and repay so much of the loans as is necessary to reduce the amount outstanding under the Commitment to the limits of the Borrowing Base. 
  







 SECTION 8.   Prepayment.   Subject to the broken funding surcharge
provision of the MLA, the Company may on one Business Day’s prior written notice prepay all or any portion of the loan(s). During the term of the Commitment, prepayments shall be applied to such balances, fixed or variable, as the Company shall
specify. After the expiration of the term of the Commitment, prepayments shall, unless CoBank otherwise agrees, be applied to principal installments in the inverse order of their maturity and to such balances, fixed or variable, as CoBank shall
specify. 
  
 SECTION 9.   Letters of
Credit.   If agreeable to CoBank in its sole discretion in each instance, in addition to loans, the Company may, subject to the purpose requirement in Section 2 above, utilize the Commitment to open irrevocable letters of credit for
its account. Each letter of credit will be issued within a reasonable period of time after receipt of a duly completed and executed copy of CoBank’s then current form of application or, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of any CoTrade
Agreement between the parties, and shall reduce the amount available under the Commitment by the maximum amount capable of being drawn thereunder. Any draw under any letter of credit issued hereunder shall be deemed an advance under the Commitment.
Each letter of credit must be in form and content acceptable to CoBank and must expire no later than the maturity date of the loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof, the maximum amount capable of being drawn under each
letter of credit must be statused against the Borrowing Base in the same manner as if it were a loan, and in the event that (after repaying all loans) the maximum amount capable of being drawn under the letters of credit exceeds the Borrowing Base,
then the Company shall immediately notify CoBank and pay to CoBank (to be held as cash collateral) an amount equal to such excess. The fee for issuing each letter of credit shall be 1  1/2% of the face amount of each letter of credit. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Supplement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date shown above.
