			FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PRICESMART CLUBS (TT) LIMITED organized and existing under the laws of Trinidad and Tobago (the “Borrower”) HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of Citibank, N.A. (the “Bank”), acting through its international banking facility, the principal sum of Twelve Million United States Dollars (U.S.$12,000,000.00) as stated in the amortization schedule in Section 1(d) hereof.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full, payable on the last day of each Interest Period (as defined below), on the date this loan shall be paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period to 5.63488% per annum above the rate of interest per annum determined on the basis of the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. Dollars (“LIBOR”) for a period equal to such Interest Period, as shown on the display page designated as Reuters Screen LIBOR 03 (or any replacement Reuters page which displays that rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service which publishes that rate from time to time in place of Reuters) at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days (as defined below) prior to the first day of such Interest Period (the “Screen Rate”) for advances with a tenor equal to the Interest Period and for an amount in U.S. Dollars approximately equal to the unpaid principal of this Note then outstanding and, if that rate is less than zero, LIBOR shall be deemed to be zero; provided that if no Screen Rate has a tenor equal to the Interest Period, then LIBOR shall be the rate which results from interpolating on a linear basis between (a) the applicable Screen Rate for the longest period (for which that Screen Rate is available) which is less than the Interest Period of the loan, and (b) the applicable Screen Rate for the shortest period (for which that Screen Rate is available) which exceeds the Interest Period of the loan; provided, that in the event that the Borrower fails to provide the Bank with at least three full Business Days' notice of its intent to make the borrowing evidenced by this Note, and in connection with such failure, the Bank incurs any penalties, fees, costs or charges in providing the funds for such borrowing, then the margin above the interest rate charged by the Bank for the first Interest Period of such borrowing shall be increased by the amount of such penalties, fees, costs and charges. If, on or prior the first day of any Interest Period the Bank determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, “LIBOR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as soon as practicable and the interest rate to be used in substitution of LIBOR shall be the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, N.A. in New York City two business days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. The period between the date hereof and the date of payment in full of the principal amount hereof shall be divided into successive periods, each such period being an “Interest Period”. The initial Interest Period shall begin on the day this Note is dated above on this page and each subsequent Interest Period shall begin on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. The duration of each Interest Period shall be three (3) months, provided, however, that (a) the duration of any Interest Period which begins prior to the maturity hereof and would otherwise end after such maturity shall end on such maturity; (b) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise occur on a day other than a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to occur on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that, if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in the next following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall occur on the next preceding Business Day; and (c) whenever the first day of any Interest Period occurs on a day of an initial calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that succeeds such initial calendar month by the number of months equal to the number of months in such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such succeeding calendar month. A “Business Day” means a day on which dealings are carried on in the London interbank market and banks are opened for business in London and not required or authorized to close in New York City and Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. During the continuance of an Event of Default, if notified in writing by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof, and on any amount of interest, fees or other amounts not paid when due, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to 2% above the rate per annum required to be paid on unpaid principal pursuant to the foregoing, payable on the dates specified for payment of interest above and on demand.

			﻿
		

		
			SECTION 3. Increased Costs
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “change in law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued for purposes of this Section 3; or (ii) the compliance by the Bank with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) -- there shall be any increase in the cost to the Bank of funding or maintaining this Note, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by the Bank, pay to the Bank additional amounts sufficient to indemnify the Bank against such increased cost.
