Acquisition (and shall not reflect any rental expense payments of the applicable
seller), and (y) any such pro forma adjustment of Consolidated EBITDAR shall not
result in an increase of more than 10% of Consolidated EBITDAR prior to such
adjustment, unless the Company provides to the Administrative Agent (A) the

for
54

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

the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender that each of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders
fund its risk participation in the relevant New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i) shall be deemed

amount required to be paid by such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(e) by the time specified in Section

Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such New Vehicle
Floorplan Lender pays such amount (and such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender has
also paid such interest and fees as aforesaid), such amount (other than any such
interest and fees as aforesaid) so paid shall constitute such New Vehicle
Floorplan Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant New Vehicle Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A
certificate of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender submitted to any New Vehicle
Floorplan Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts
owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)     Each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such New Vehicle Floorplan
Lender may have against the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Company or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a
Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each New Vehicle Floorplan
Lender’s obligation to make New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.03(e) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No
such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the New Vehicle Borrowers (jointly and severally) to repay New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
55

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

(f)     Repayment of Participations.
(i)     At any time after any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender has purchased and
funded a risk participation in a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, if the
New Vehicle Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender will
distribute to such Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of
such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was
funded) in the same funds as those received by the New Vehicle Swing Line
Lender.
(ii)     If any payment received by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in respect
of principal or interest on any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (other
than a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft) is required to be returned by the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the New Vehicle
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall
pay to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender,
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders
under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
(g)     Interest for Account of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender. The New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the New Vehicle
Borrowers for interest on the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans. Until each
New Vehicle Floorplan Lender funds its Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s
Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage shall be solely for the account of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.
(h)     Payments Directly to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender. Each New
Vehicle Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of
the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans directly to the New Vehicle Swing
Line Lender.

56

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

2.04     New Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03,
(a)    if the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender has (acting in its discretion),
according to the terms hereof, taken action to suspend or terminate Payment
Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments and such Payment Commitments and/or
Payoff Letter Commitments, as the case may be, have in fact been suspended or
terminated in accordance with their respective terms, then the New Vehicle Swing
Line Lender shall not fund any draft with respect to such Payment Commitments
and/or Payoff Letter Commitments;
(b)    if on any day the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 have
been satisfied and a draft with respect to a Payment Commitment or a Payoff
Letter Commitment is presented for payment, the payment of which would cause (i)
(A) the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, plus
(B) the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, plus
(C) the aggregate principal amount of all Requests for Borrowings of New Vehicle
Floorplan Loans outstanding as of such day to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments as of such day or (ii) the Outstanding Amount of New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Sublimit, then, in such event:
(i)    the Company or any New Vehicle Borrower may either immediately reduce any
pending Requests for Borrowing (if any) of a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed
Loan or make a payment of principal on New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans
and/or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an amount which would prevent
the aggregate amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above from exceeding the
Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments; or
(ii)    the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, and such Payment Commitment or
Payoff Letter Commitment shall be funded to the extent of such increase in
accordance with said Section; or
(iii)    regardless of whether the conditions of Section 4.03 have otherwise
been met, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under such
Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole or in part (the amount
of any such funding made by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the “New Vehicle
Floorplan Overdraft”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a
commitment by or as requiring the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender to fund any such
New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft. The New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall not be
obligated to purchase any portion of or any participation in any such New
Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft; or
(iv)    if such New Vehicle Swing Line Loan would not cause the aggregate
amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and
absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under
such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole or in part,
notwithstanding
57

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

that such Loan would cause the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit (and the
amount of any such funding made by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall not
be deemed to be a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft); provided that, within five
(5) Business Days after funding such payment, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender
shall make a demand upon the Company that the Borrowers immediately repay such
New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to the extent that the Outstanding Amount
of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds the New Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Sublimit.
2.05     Electronic Processing. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative
Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of New Vehicle Floor
Plan Loans, or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of Used Vehicle
Floor Plan Loans, in their respective sole discretion, the Borrowers must
request Loans electronically by access to the Administrative Agent’s web based
floorplan on-line system (“Floorplan On-line System”) in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions established between the Administrative
Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Floor Plan Lender and
the Company from time to time. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative
Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of New Vehicle Floor
Plan Loans, or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of Used Vehicle
Floor Plan Loans, in their respective sole discretion, in connection with the
New Vehicle Floorplan Facility or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility, as
applicable, (i) interest due pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be automatically
debited on the Automatic Debit Date of each month from the applicable Borrower’s
account with Bank of America pursuant to on-line procedures established and
agreed to from time to time between such Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of New Vehicle Floor Plan Loans,
or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of Used Vehicle Floor Plan
Loans, (“On-Line Procedures”), (ii) curtailments and other payments due pursuant
to Section 2.12(a) must be made in immediately available funds on the due date
thereof pursuant to On-Line Procedures, (iii) fees due pursuant to Section 2.14
must be made in immediately available funds on the due date thereof pursuant to
On-Line Procedures and (iv) any other amounts otherwise due in respect of each
Vehicle must be made in immediately available funds on the due date thereof
pursuant to On-Line Procedures, including without limitation, automatic debits
to cure Out of Balance conditions pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.04;
provided that, such payments due as a result of a Dealership Sale, a Removed
Franchise, or a termination of Commitments in accordance with Section 2.11, may
be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Borrowers have
requested access to the Floorplan On-line System to retrieve monthly bills, to
permit the Borrowers to access certain account information relating to the Loans
and to facilitate the making of any payments on the Loans by authorizing the
Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of New
Vehicle Floor Plan Loans, or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, in the case of
Used Vehicle Floor Plan Loans, to debit any one or more of the applicable
Borrowers’ deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle
Swing Line Lender, in the case of New Vehicle Borrowers, or the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender, in the case of Used Vehicle Borrowers. In consideration for
the Administrative Agent’s, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender’s and the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender’s granting to the Borrowers access to the Floorplan
On-line System to view loan account information and make payments, the Borrowers
acknowledge responsibility for the security of such Borrowers’ passwords and
other information necessary for access to Floorplan On-line System, and the
Company and each Borrower fully, finally, and
58

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

forever releases and discharges the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing
Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and their employees, agents, and
representatives from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and
liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity that the Company or
any Borrower may now or hereafter have, in any way relating to the Company or
any Borrower’s access to, or use of, the Floorplan On-line System, other than
those arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of
the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender.
2.06     Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender severally agrees
to make loans (each such loan, a “Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan”) to the
Used Vehicle Borrowers, jointly and severally, from time to time, on any
Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan
Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving
effect to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Total Used
Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus
such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such
Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and (iv) on a per Used Vehicle
basis, such Loan shall not exceed (A) 100% of the acquisition cost if purchased
at an auction facility satisfactory to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender or (B)
the lesser of (x) 100% of the acquisition cost or (y) 100% of wholesale value as
determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, of each Used Vehicle
financed, provided, further, that the proceeds of Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans shall only be used to pay the purchase price of Used Vehicles,
including the refinancing of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or other
Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans utilized for such purpose. Within the limits of
each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Used Vehicle Borrowers may
borrow under this Section 2.06, prepay under Section 2.09, and reborrow under
this Section 2.06. Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans
or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

Committed Loans.
(a)     Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing and each conversion of
Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, shall be made
upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice;
provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to
the Administrative Agent of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice. Each
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) one Business Day prior to the

or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans or of
any conversion of Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii)
one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate

59

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

Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Company is
requesting a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing or a conversion of Used
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, (ii) the requested
date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a

Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan) the make, model, and vehicle
identification number of each Used Vehicle to be financed thereby. If the
Company fails to provide a timely Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice
requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans
shall, subject to Article III, continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company
fails to specify a Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan in a Used
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans shall, subject to Article III, be made as, or
converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(b)     Following receipt of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event, at least one Business Day
prior to the requested date of advance of the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans) notify each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender of the amount of its
Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the Business Day specified in the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed
Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section
4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
applicable Used Vehicle Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America
with the amount of such funds.
(c)     The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Used
Vehicle Floorplan Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate
Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans
are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Used
Vehicle Floorplan Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in
determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.
2.08     Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.
(a)     The Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may, in its sole
discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.08, make loans (each such loan, a
“Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan”) to the Used Vehicle Borrowers, jointly
and severally, from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability
Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount
of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan
60

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

Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans
of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender acting as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender,
may exceed the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (i) subject to Section 2.09, the Total
Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) subject to Section
2.09, the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the
Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, (iii) subject to Section 2.09, the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of
any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan
Commitment, and (iv) such Loan, together with the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of all other Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made on or prior to such
date shall not exceed any applicable Within Line Limitation unless otherwise
consented to by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion; and
provided, further, that the proceeds of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans
shall only be used (x) to honor Used Vehicle Floorplan drafts presented by the
applicable vehicle manufacturer, distributor or auction house to the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to Payment Commitments or Auction Agreements,
as applicable, (y) to honor Used Vehicle Floorplan drafts presented by the
applicable financial institution to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant
to Payoff Letter Commitments or (z) otherwise to pay the purchase price of Used
Vehicles. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Used Vehicle Borrowers, may borrow under this Section
2.08, prepay under Section 2.09, and reborrow under this Section 2.08. Each Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate
Loan. Except as otherwise provided with respect to Used Vehicle Floorplan
Overdrafts, immediately upon the making of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loan, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Used Vehicle Swing
Line Lender a risk participation in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan
in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Percentage times the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loan.
(b)     Payment Commitments; Auction Agreements and Payoff Letter Commitments.
(i)     The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender is authorized to make Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans for the account of the Used Vehicle Borrowers
directly to certain individual manufacturers, distributors or auction houses
that provide Used Vehicles to the Used Vehicle Borrowers, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the respective Payment Commitment or Auction Agreement,
as the case may be, agreed to between the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and
each such manufacturer, distributor or auction house, and without any further
notice as otherwise required in this Section. Each Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan
made pursuant to a Payment Commitment or Auction Agreement shall be a Eurodollar
Rate Loan at the time of such Borrowing, but may be converted to a Base Rate
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Used Vehicle Borrowers
shall be and remain jointly and severally liable to the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender, or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders, as applicable, for all payments
made to a manufacturer, distributor or auction house pursuant to a Payment
Commitment or Auction Agreement.
61

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

(ii)     The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender is authorized to make Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans for the account of the Used Vehicle Borrowers
directly to certain individual financial institutions that financed Used
Vehicles for the Used Vehicle Borrowers, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the respective Payoff Letter Commitment agreed to between the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender and each such financial institution, and without any
further notice as otherwise required in this Section. Each Used Vehicle Swing
Line Loan made pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment shall be a Eurodollar Rate
Loan at the time of such Borrowing, but may be converted to a Base Rate Loan in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Used Vehicle Borrowers shall be
and remain jointly and severally liable to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender,
or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders, as applicable, for all payments made to a
financial institution pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment.
(c)     Borrowing Procedures. Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing
and each conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans from one Type to
the other shall be made pursuant to (i) a Payment Commitment, (ii) an Auction
Agreement or (iii) a Payoff Letter Commitment, (iv) upon the Company’s
irrevocable notice to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender by delivery
of a written Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan Notice, or (v) in the case of a dealer
trade, pursuant to the Floorplan On-line System in accordance with practices
agreed to from time to time between the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the
applicable Used Vehicle Borrower. Each such notice from the Company must be
received by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00
p.m. on the Business Day of the requested borrowing date or date of conversion
of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate
Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and in each case shall specify (i) the amount to
be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day,
(iii) the Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan to be borrowed or to
which existing Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans are to be converted, (iv)
the applicable Used Vehicle Borrower and (v) the applicable Used Vehicle(s)
(including the make, model and vehicle identification number of such Used
Vehicle(s)). The Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender will, not later than
6:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan
available directly to the manufacturer, distributor or auction house pursuant to
a Payment Commitment or Auction Agreement, as applicable, to the financial
institution pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment or to the applicable Used
Vehicle Borrower at the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s office by
crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Lender. If the Company fails to provide a timely Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar
Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall, subject to Article III,
continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company fails to specify a Type of
Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loan Notice or if a Payment Commitment, Auction Agreement or Payoff Letter
Commitment fails to specify a Type of Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan, then the
applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan shall, subject to Article III,
be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.
(d)     Authorization. Each Used Vehicle Borrower authorizes the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender (and each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender consents to such
authorization) to enter into, modify or terminate Payment Commitments, Auction
Agreements and Payoff Letter
62

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

Commitments (in each case, in the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender’s discretion)
and to advise each manufacturer, distributor, financial institution or auction
house, as the case may be, that provides Used Vehicles to such Used Vehicle
Borrower of any change or termination which may occur with respect to the Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line. Each Borrower authorizes the Used Vehicle Swing
Line Lender to furnish each auction house covered by an Auction Agreement
information reflecting the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility provided by this
Agreement. The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender is further authorized to advise
any applicable auction house of any change or termination which may occur with
respect to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility. The Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender may rely on written or telefax instructions for Borrowings under an
Auction Agreement given by any Borrower, or if authorized under the Auction
Agreement, by the auction house.
(e)     Refinancing of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.
(i)     The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion
may request, on behalf of the Used Vehicle Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that
each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender make a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan in an
amount equal to such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Percentage of the amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans
then outstanding (including, subject to Section 2.09, any Used Vehicle Floorplan
Overdrafts); provided that the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender intends to request
each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans
no less frequently than once in any given calendar month. Such request shall be
made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.07, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject
to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender
shall furnish the Company, upon request by the Company, with a copy of the
applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice. Each Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Percentage of the amount specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loan Notice available (including for this purpose Cash Collateral and
other credit support made available with respect to the applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loan) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day specified in
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section
2.08(e)(ii), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available
shall be deemed to have made a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan to the Company in
such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.
(ii)     If for any reason any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (other
than a Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft) cannot be refinanced by such a Used
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.08(e)(i), the
request for Eurodollar Rate Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans submitted by
the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender as set forth
63

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

herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender
that each of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders fund its risk participation in
the relevant Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Section 2.08(e)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
(iii)     If any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender any
amount required to be paid by such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08(e) by the time specified in Section
2.08(e)(i), the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on
demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such
payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus
any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lender pays such amount (and such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender has
also paid such interest and fees as aforesaid), such amount (other than any such
interest and fees as aforesaid) so paid shall constitute such Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded
participation in the relevant Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.
A certificate of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender submitted to any Used
Vehicle Floorplan Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)     Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender may have against the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Used Vehicle Borrowers
(jointly and severally) to repay Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans,
together with interest as provided herein.
(f)     Repayment of Participations.
(i)     At any time after any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender has purchased and
funded a risk participation in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, if the
Used
64

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

Vehicle Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender will distribute to
such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Used Vehicle Floorplan
Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by
the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.
(ii)     If any payment received by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in
respect of principal or interest on any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan
(other than a Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft) is required to be returned by
the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in
Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender
shall pay to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle
Floorplan Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is
returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders under
this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
(g)     Interest for Account of Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender. The Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Used Vehicle Borrowers
for interest on the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans. Until each Used
Vehicle Floorplan Lender funds its Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or risk
participation pursuant to this Section 2.08 to refinance such Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of any Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Used
Vehicle Floorplan Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender.
(h)     Payments Directly to Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender. Each Used Vehicle
Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans directly to the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender.
2.09     Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 2.08,
(a)    if the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender has (acting in its discretion),
according to the terms hereof, taken action to suspend or terminate Payment
Commitments, Auction Agreements and/or Payoff Letter Commitments and such
Payment Commitments, Auction Agreements and/or Payoff Letter Commitments, as the
case may be, have in fact been suspended or terminated in accordance with their
respective terms, then the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall not fund any
draft with respect to such Payment Commitments, Auction Agreements and/or Payoff
Letter Commitments;
(b)    if on any day the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 have
been satisfied and a draft with respect to a Payment Commitment, Auction
Agreement or a Payoff Letter
65

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

Commitment is presented for payment, the payment of which would cause (i) (A)
the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, plus (B)
the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, plus (C)
the aggregate principal amount of all Requests for Borrowings of Used Vehicle
Floorplan Loans outstanding as of such day to exceed the Aggregate Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments as of such day or (ii) the Outstanding Amount of Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to exceed the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Sublimit, then, in such event:
(i)    the Company or any Used Vehicle Borrower may either immediately reduce
any pending Requests for Borrowing (if any) of a Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loan or make a payment of principal on Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans and/or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an amount
which would prevent the aggregate amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above
from exceeding the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments; or
(ii)    the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, and such Payment Commitment,
Auction Agreement or Payoff Letter Commitment shall be funded to the extent of
such increase in accordance with said Section; or
(iii)    regardless of whether the conditions of Section 4.03 have otherwise
been met, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under such
Payment Commitment, Auction Agreement or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole or in
part (the amount of any such funding made by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender,
the “Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft”). Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as a commitment by or as requiring the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender
to fund any such Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft. The Used Vehicle Floorplan
Lenders shall not be obligated to purchase any portion of or any participation
in any such Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft; or
(iv)    if such Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan would not cause the aggregate
amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above to exceed the Aggregate Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and
absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under
such Payment Commitment, Auction Agreement or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole
or in part, notwithstanding that such Loan would cause the Outstanding Amount of
Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to exceed the Used Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Sublimit (and the amount of any such funding made by the Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender shall not be deemed to be a Used Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft);
provided that, within five (5) Business Days after funding such payment, the
Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall make a demand upon the Company that the
Borrowers immediately repay such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to the
extent that the Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans
exceeds the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit.

(a)     Commitment Fees. The New Vehicle Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each New Vehicle Floorplan
Lender in accordance with its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, a
commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by
which the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments exceed the Outstanding
Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. The Used Vehicle Borrowers
(jointly and severally) shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender in accordance with its Applicable Used
Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed
Loans. The commitment fees shall accrue at all times during the Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the
Automatic Debit Date after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Maturity Date. The commitment fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and
if there is any change in the respective Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by such Applicable Rate
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect. New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans shall not be included in calculating the Outstanding Amount of New
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans used
in determining the commitment fees set forth above.
(b)     Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arranger and the
Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and
at the times specified in the Bank of America Letter. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(ii)     The Company shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.
2.15     Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base
Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in
more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis
of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the
Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the
day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is
repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.17(a),
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
76

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

2.16     Evidence of Debt.
(a)     The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in
the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event
of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters,
the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules
to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)     In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a)
above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales
by such Lender of participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and
Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between
the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts
and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records
of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.17     Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)     General. All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made free and
clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will
promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage or Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable (or
other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as
received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received
by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to
accrue. If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other
than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as
the case may be.
(b)     (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00
noon on the date of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed
Borrowing, the
77

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

Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.07 and may (but shall
be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of
the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by any Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If any Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Committed
Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim
the any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)     Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company (on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Borrower) prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such
Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may
(but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has
not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to
repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(c)     Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available
to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any
Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such
funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
78

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

Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(d)     Obligations of New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders Several. The obligations of
the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders hereunder to make New Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans, to fund participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not
joint. The failure of any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make any New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other New Vehicle Floorplan Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on
such date, and no New Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Lender to so make its New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 10.04(c).
(e)     Obligations of Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders Several. The obligations
of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders hereunder to make Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans, to fund participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not
joint. The failure of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make any Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on
such date, and no Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender to so make its Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 10.04(c).
(f)     Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.
2.18     Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or
Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater
than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact,
and (b) purchase from the other applicable Lenders (in the respective New
Vehicle Floorplan Facility or Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility (for cash at face
value) participations in the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or
Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and subparticipations in New Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans of the
other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
79

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

(i)     if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or
any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)     the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x)
any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds
arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender, (y) the application of Cash
Collateral in respect of obligations relating to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans provided for in Section
2.23, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its New Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or subparticipations
in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans, as the case may be, to any assignee or participant, other than an
assignment, participation or subparticipation to the Company or any Subsidiary
thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a
participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such
Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of
such participation.
2.19     Increase in Commitments.
(a)     Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default nor any Revolving
Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify
the Lenders), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the
Aggregate Commitments by an amount for all such requests, not exceeding
$250,000,000 in the aggregate, provided that the Company may make a maximum of
five (5) such requests and (x) upon the reasonable request of any Lender made at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, the Company
shall have provided to such Lender, and such Lender shall be reasonably
satisfied with, the documentation and other information so requested in
connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules
and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act, in each case at
least five (5) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date and (y) at
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Increase Effective Date, any Loan
Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership
Regulation shall have delivered, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial
Ownership Certification in relation to such Loan Party. Such increase shall be
allocated between the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the
Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments as requested by the Company and
specified in its notice, provided that, (a) any increase in the Commitments of
any Lender shall be allocated on a pro rata basis between its New Vehicle
Floorplan Commitment and its Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (consistent with
the pro rata allocation of the entire increase on such occasion between the
Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Aggregate Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments), and (b) following any
80

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

such increase, no more than 40% of the Aggregate Commitments may be allocated to
the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments. At the time of sending any
such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify (x) the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond
(which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of
delivery of such notice to the Lenders) and (y) whether the requested increase
is for the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Used Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments.
(b)     Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to
increase its respective Commitment, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to,
greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase.
Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to increase its Commitment.
(c)     Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent
(which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also
invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel.
(d)     Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are
increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the
Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and
the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and
the Increase Effective Date.
(e)     Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to
such increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in
sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan
Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party
approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Company,
certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except
to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an
earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date,
and except that for purposes of this Section 2.19, the representations and
warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed
to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and
(b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists and (C) no Revolving
Default exists. The Borrowers shall prepay any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed
Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as applicable, outstanding on
the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding New
Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as
applicable, ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any
nonratable increase in the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Used Vehicle
Floorplan Commitments, as the case may be, under this Section.
81

and each of the parties agrees that such New Vehicle Borrower otherwise shall be
a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each New Vehicle

Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security
for, or otherwise relating to any of the Obligations or any guaranty of any of
the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities or New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities
(the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being
collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”); (ii) any action taken
under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein
conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or
any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided; (iii) any acceleration
of the maturity of any of the New Vehicle Borrowers’
82

Liabilities, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other
Related Agreement; and (ix) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
notice to or knowledge of such New Vehicle Borrower) which may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risks of such New Vehicle Borrower, or might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of,
a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or
claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any
collateral in respect of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities. It is the
express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several
liability of each New Vehicle Borrower for the New Vehicle Borrowers’

this Section 2.20 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all

only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any
notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and each New
Vehicle Borrower.
83

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

2.21     Used Vehicle Borrowers.
(a)     Effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Company and each
Subsidiary that has executed the Amendment No. 2 as a “Used Vehicle Borrower”
shall be a “Used Vehicle Borrower” hereunder and may receive Used Vehicle
Floorplan Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
(b)     If any Subsidiary engages in the sale or leasing of Used Vehicles and
the Company wishes to designate such Subsidiary as a Used Vehicle Borrower, the
Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 6.14 or
otherwise, a Joinder Agreement executed by such Subsidiary identifying such
Subsidiary as a Used Vehicle Borrower; provided that a Used Vehicle Borrower
shall not be required to execute a Joinder Agreement if such Used Vehicle
Borrower has executed and delivered Amendment No. 2 on the Amendment No. 2
Effective Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any such
Subsidiary becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for in
Sections 2.06 through 2.08 the Administrative Agent, the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender, and the other Lenders shall have received the documents required by

Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such documents required
by Section 6.14, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially
the form of Exhibit K-2 (a “Used Vehicle Borrower Notice”) to the Company and
the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which such Subsidiary shall

any covenant or condition therein provided; (iii) any acceleration of the
maturity of any of the Used Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities or of any other
obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

84

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

Party or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or
any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Borrower, any Loan Party or any
other party to a Related Agreement; (vi) any extension (including without
limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or
restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change
in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, this
Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related

Liabilities, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other
Related Agreement; and (ix) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
notice to or knowledge of such Used Vehicle Borrower) which may or might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Used Vehicle Borrower, or might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of,
a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or
claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any
collateral in respect of the Used Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities. It is the
express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several
liability of each Used Vehicle Borrower for the Used Vehicle Borrowers’
Liabilities shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances
and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Used Vehicle Borrower with
respect to its Used Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities shall be limited to an
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state
law.
(e)     Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a “Used Vehicle Borrower” pursuant to
this Section 2.21 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all
purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents,
including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery
of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all
modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Used Vehicle
Floorplan Loans made by the Lenders to any such Used Vehicle Borrower hereunder.
Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which
might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers,
or by any Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken
only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any
notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other
communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and each Used
Vehicle Borrower.
2.22     Removed Franchises.
(a)     The Company shall be permitted to terminate the designation of a
Subsidiary as a “New Vehicle Borrower” and/or a “Used Vehicle Borrower” with
respect to any particular franchise (any such franchise, a “Removed Franchise”)
and redesignate such Subsidiary as a
85

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

“Dual Subsidiary” or a “Silo Subsidiary”, as applicable, in order to finance New
Vehicles and Used Vehicles through Permitted Silo Indebtedness so long as (i)
the Company has (x) delivered notice of such request to the Administrative
Agent, (y) in the case of a Dual Subsidiary, executed and delivered
acknowledgements (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent) of such Subsidiary’s continuing Obligations under the Loan
Documents (including pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty) as requested by the
Administrative Agent and (z) prepaid all outstanding Loans with respect to such
redesignation as required by Section 2.12(a)(iii)(C), Section 2.12(b)(iii)(C)
and otherwise complied with Section 7.17, (ii) such Subsidiary otherwise
qualifies as a “Silo Subsidiary” or a “Dual Subsidiary”, as applicable, entitled
to incur Permitted Silo Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Agreement at
the time of such redesignation, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default then
exists or will result therefrom. Following any such redesignation, such
Subsidiary shall no longer be entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided
for in Sections 2.01 through 2.03 or Sections 2.06 through 2.08 with respect to
any Removed Franchise.
2.23     Cash Collateral and Other Credit Support.
(a)     Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit
support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in
blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The
Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders (including the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle
Floorplan Lender), a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and
all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant
hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing. If at any time the Administrative
Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any
Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total
amount of such Cash Collateral is less than that required to eliminate the
applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the
relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in
an amount sufficient to eliminate the applicable Fronting Exposure. The Borrower
shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening,
activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the
maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.
(b)     Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral under any of this Section 2.23 or Sections 2.03 or
2.08 in respect of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the
specific New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans or obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash
Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, interest accrued on such obligation)
for which the Cash Collateral or other credit support was so provided, prior to
any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(c)     Release. Cash Collateral provided pursuant to any of the Sections
referred to in Section 2.23(b) shall be released (except (i) as may be agreed to
among the parties posting, and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or
the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender benefitting from, such Cash
Collateral and (ii) Cash Collateral provided by or on behalf of a Loan Party
shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default)
86

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

promptly following the payment or satisfaction of the obligations giving rise to
delivery of such Cash Collateral, or, as to Cash Collateral provided pursuant to
Sections 2.03 or 2.08, such earlier date as (A) the status of the applicable
Lender as a Defaulting Lender shall be terminated or (B) the Administrative
Agent shall determine in good faith that there remain outstanding no actual or
potential Defaulting Lender funding obligations as to which the benefitted New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender desires to maintain
Cash Collateral.
2.24     Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)     Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required
New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders” and “Required Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders” and
Section 10.01.
(ii)     Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows; first, as to any payment made in respect of principal of
Loans, ratably to the principal amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans
and Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as applicable, of other Lenders as
if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, until such time as the
Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and Used Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans of each Lender, as applicable, shall equal its pro
rata share thereof based on its Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to
Section 2.24(a)(iv)); second, to any amounts (including interest thereon) owed
hereunder by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; third, to any
amounts (including interest thereon) owed hereunder by such Defaulting Lender to
the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (to the
extent the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof), ratably to the
Persons entitled thereto; fourth, to the posting of Cash Collateral (or funding
of participations, as applicable) in respect of its Applicable Percentage
(without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)) of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, (x) ratably to the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in accordance
with their respective applicable Fronting Exposures and (y) thereafter, to
reduce ratably any reallocation of Applicable Percentages of other Lenders
previously effected under Section 2.24(a)(iv); and fifth, to the Defaulting
Lender or otherwise as required by applicable Law. Any payments, prepayments or
other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
subsection 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting
Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

87

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

(iii)     Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to
receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.14(a) for any period during
which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be
required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have
been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(iv)     Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender as to which the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (as applicable)
has not received Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.08, then upon the
request of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender (as applicable) to the Administrative Agent, for purposes of computing
the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance
or fund participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.08, the “Applicable
Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving
effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each
such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the initial date thereof, no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) in all
cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or
fund participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed
the positive difference, if any, between (1) the New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of such Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all other New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans (prior to giving effect to such
reallocation), (iii) in all cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender
to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, between (1) the
Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the
aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of
such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of all other Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans (prior to giving effect to
such reallocation).
(b)     Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the
New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender agree in
writing in their reasonable discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer
be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the
parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with
respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such
other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause
the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis
by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving
effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a
Defaulting Lender (and the Applicable Percentages of each Lender will
automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing);
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees
accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
88

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

extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.
ARTICLE IIA
SECURITY

2A.01    Security. As security for the full and timely payment and performance
of all Obligations, each Borrower shall, and shall cause all other Loan Parties
to, on or before the Closing Date, do or cause to be done all things reasonably
necessary in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and its counsel to grant to
the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a duly
perfected security interest in all Collateral subject to no prior Lien or other
encumbrance except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents and with the priority identified in the Security Instruments. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall deliver, and shall cause each other
applicable Loan Party to deliver, to the Administrative Agent, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (a) the Security
Agreement and the Master Intercreditor Agreement and (b) UCC financing
statements in form, substance and number as requested by the Administrative
Agent, reflecting the Lien in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties on the Collateral. In addition, and without
limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall take and cause each other Loan Party
to take such further action, and deliver or cause to be delivered such further
documents and instruments, as required by the Security Instruments or otherwise
as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and
maintain the effectiveness and priority of the Liens contemplated by this
Article IIA and each of the Security Instruments.
2A.02    Further Assurances. At the request of the Administrative Agent from
time to time, each Borrower will or will cause all other Loan Parties, as the
case may be, to execute, by their respective Responsible Officers, alone or with
the Administrative Agent, or the Revolving Administrative Agent, any
certificate, instrument, financing statement, control agreement, statement or
document, or to procure any certificate, instrument, statement or document or to
take such other action (and pay all related costs) which the Administrative
Agent reasonably deems necessary from time to time to create, continue or
preserve the Liens in Collateral (and the perfection and priority thereof) of
the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and specifically including
all Collateral acquired by any Borrower or any other Loan Party after the
Closing Date and all Collateral moved to or from time to time located at
locations owned by third parties, including all leased locations, bailees,
warehousemen and third party processors. Each of the Administrative Agent and
the Revolving Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute
and file or cause to be filed, with or if permitted by applicable law without
the signature of any Borrower or any Loan Party appearing thereon, all UCC
financing statements reflecting any Borrower or any other Loan Party as “debtor”
and the Revolving Administrative Agent as “secured party”, and continuations
thereof and amendments thereto, as the Administrative Agent or the Revolving
Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable to give effect to
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.
89

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

2A.03    Information Regarding Collateral. Each Borrower represents, warrants
and covenants that Schedule 2A.03(a) contains a true and complete list of (i)
the exact legal name, jurisdiction of formation and location of the chief
executive office of each Borrower and each other Person providing Collateral
pursuant to a Security Instrument on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (such
Persons, together with any other Persons that provide Collateral at any time
pursuant to a Security Instrument, being referred to collectively as the
“Grantors”), (ii) each trade name, trademark or other trade style used by such
Grantor on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, (iii) each location in which
goods constituting Collateral having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000
are located as of the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, whether owned, leased or
third-party locations, and (iv) with respect to each leased or third party
location, the name of each owner of such location and a summary description of
the relationship between the applicable Grantor and such Person. Each Borrower
further covenants that it shall not change, and shall not permit any other
Grantor to change, its name, type of entity, jurisdiction of formation (whether
by reincorporation, merger or otherwise), or the location of its chief executive
office, or use or permit any other Grantor to use, any additional trade name,
trademark or other trade style, except upon giving not less than 15 days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent and taking or causing to be taken all
such action at such Borrower’s or such other Grantor’s expense as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect or maintain the
perfection of the Lien of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties in Collateral.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01     Taxes.
(a)     Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes.
(i)     Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan
Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any
applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the
Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any
such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the
Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding upon the basis of the information and documentation to be
delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii)    If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the
Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal
backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the
Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by
the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the
extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified
Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party or any such Borrower
90

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

shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the
making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or
deduction been made.
(iii)    If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any
applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any
payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by
such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be
required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant
to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the
extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws,
and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of
all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been made.

(b)     Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions
of subsection (a) above, the Company and each other Borrower shall timely pay to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the
option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any
Other Taxes.
(c)     Tax Indemnifications.
(i)     the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall, and
does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or
required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Company and each other Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any
reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required
pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.
(ii)    Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the
Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender
(but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the
91

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

Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z)
the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the
Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause
(ii).
(d)     Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Company, any other Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the
Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental
Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Company or such Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to
the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment,
a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Company or such Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)     Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
Company or any other Borrower is a U.S. Person,

92

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

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies
of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax;

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,
IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(III)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Company or any other Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable; or

(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of the
applicable interest in any Credit Extension or Commitment, executed copies of
IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-SECT, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender
is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are
93

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

claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative
Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under
FATCA from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans hereunder and this Agreement as not
qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(iii)    Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or
inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or
promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal
inability to do so.

(f)     Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no
time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Lender. If any Recipient determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or any other Borrower or with
respect to which the Company or any Borrower has paid additional amounts
94

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

pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Company or such Borrower an
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Company or such Borrower under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Company and each other Borrower, upon
the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Company or such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the
Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will
the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Company or any
other Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the
Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would
have been in if Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund
had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that
it deems confidential) to the Company, any other Borrower or any other Person.
(g)     Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
3.02     Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any
Credit Extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such
Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any
such Credit Extension, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate
Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate
Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of
such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the
Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the
Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company and each other Borrower
(jointly and severally) shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base
Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component of the Base Rate) either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue
95

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

to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y)
if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such
Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer
illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company and each
other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03     Inability to Determine Rates.
(a)     If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof, (i)  the Administrative Agent determines
that (A) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such
Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (B)(x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed
Base Rate Loan and (y) the circumstances described in Section 3.03(c)(i) do not
apply (in each case with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or
(ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any
reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation
of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to
the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in
the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to
the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in
each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by
the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of Section 3.03(a), until the
Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such
notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to
the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or,
failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into (i) in the case
of a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan, a request for a New Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (ii) in the case of a New Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loan, a request for a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (iii) in the case of Used Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loan, a request for a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans, and (iv) in the case of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loan, a request for a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans, in each case in the amount specified therein.
(b)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the
determination described in clause (a)(i) of this section, the Administrative
Agent, in consultation with the Company and the affected Lenders, may establish
an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such
alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans
until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to
the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2)
the Administrative
96

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

Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Company
that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office
to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to
such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based
upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the
Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.
(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders
notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a
copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders (as applicable) have
determined, that:
(i)     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for
any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR
Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such
circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)     the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement
identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no
longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans,
provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor
administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will
continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the
“Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or
(iii)     syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language
similar to that contained in this Section 3.03, are being executed or amended
(as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace
LIBOR,
then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent
or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the
purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 3.03 with (x) one or
more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due
consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S.
dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks
and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such
benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention
for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such
benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be
published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from
time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the
“Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and any
such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day
after the
97

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

Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders
and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such
Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate
described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an
amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such
amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A),
the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate
contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a
manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market
practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such
LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent.
If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under
clause (i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as
applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and
each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected
Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurodollar Rate
component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be
deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified
therein.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate
shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero
for purposes of this Agreement.
In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the
Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming
Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor
Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or
consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any
such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment
implementing such LIBOR Successor Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably
promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
3.04     Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(a)     Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));
(ii)     subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments or
98

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

other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital
attributable thereto; or
(iii)     impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans
made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining in any Loan the
interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, in the
case of clause (ii) above, any Loan), or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company and
each other Borrower (jointly and severally) will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)     Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
participations in Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change
in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) will pay to
such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c)     Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall pay such
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.
(d)     Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that neither the Company nor any other Borrower shall be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased
costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof).
99

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

(e)     Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Company and each other Borrower,
jointly and severally, shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have
received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give
notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional
interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.
3.05     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)     Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any
Credit Extension to the Company and each other Borrower through any Lending
Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the
obligation of the Company and each other Borrower to repay the Credit Extension
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company or any other Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the
Company and each other Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company and each other Borrower (jointly
and severally) hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)     Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or if the Company or any other Borrower is required to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, and in each
case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending
office in accordance with Section 3.05(a), the Company may replace such Lender
in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.06     Survival. All of the Company’s and each other Borrower’s obligations
under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the
Administrative Agent.

Revenue Service, or (ii) uses a prototype or volume submitter document that has

threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Plan or to the knowledge of the Company, any Multiemployer

or the Commitments.

the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to

or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf
109

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

of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified
or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material
misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial
information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in
good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. As of
the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial
Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects.
5.16     Compliance with Laws. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is in
compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all
orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties,
except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,
injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other

necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict
with the rights of any other Person, except where the failure to do so, either
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Company, no slogan or
other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other
material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Company or any
Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or

could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
5.18     Books and Records. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains

into after the Closing Date and delivered to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender pursuant to Section 6.03(f), there is no material deviation in any
Franchise Agreement from the standard form of Franchise Agreements for the
applicable vehicle manufacturer or distributor delivered as of the Closing Date.
Each Franchise Agreement and, on the date of this Agreement, Framework Agreement
is, other than as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, in full force and effect and is enforceable by the applicable Loan
Party in accordance with its terms. To the knowledge of the Company, (a) no
110

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

party to any Franchise Agreement is in material breach of, or has failed to
perform in any material respect or is in material default under, such Franchise
Agreement and (b) no party to any Franchise Agreement has given or received any
notice of any proposed or threatened termination of such Franchise Agreement or
Framework Agreement (except any such notice that has been disclosed to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, pursuant to Section
6.03(f)). In the event of any default or non-compliance under any Framework
Agreement, the principal remedy available to any manufacturer or distributor
party thereto is to prohibit the applicable Subsidiary from acquiring additional
franchised vehicle dealerships from such manufacturer or distributor (and not in
any event to terminate the operations at any existing vehicle dealership).
5.20     Collateral.
(a)     The provisions of each of the Security Instruments are effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured

Loan Party in the Collateral described therein, except as otherwise permitted
hereunder.

Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, there are no material labor disputes
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may become a party, including,
without limitation, any strikes, lockouts or other disputes relating to such
Persons’ plants and other facilities.
5.23     Acquisitions. As of the Closing Date and as of the date of each
Permitted Acquisition, all material conditions precedent to, all consents from
applicable Governmental Authorities, and all other material consents necessary
to permit, such Permitted Acquisition will have been obtained, satisfied, or
waived (except that (i) no conditions imposed by the Loan Documents are so
waivable other than with the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) no other
conditions shall be waived if such waiver would materially adversely affect the
benefits to be obtained by the Company or the Secured Parties from such
Acquisition), as the case may be.
5.24     Real Estate Indebtedness. The amount of any Indebtedness of the Company
and its Subsidiaries secured by Liens on the real property and improvements
financed thereby is no greater than eighty-five percent (85%) of the value of
such real property and improvements as set forth in an appraisal of such real
property and improvements prepared by an independent Member of the Appraisal
Institute certified appraiser in connection with such Indebtedness (which
appraisal shall be delivered to Administrative Agent upon its request).
111

and account of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
5.26     Permitted Third Party Service Loaner Indebtedness. All Indebtedness for
the financing of Service Loaner Vehicles provided by Service Loaner Lenders is
secured solely by a Lien on said Service Loaner Vehicles so financed by the
respective Service Loaner Lenders and the proceeds of such Service Loaner
Vehicles.
5.27     OFAC. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any
director or officer thereof, nor, to the knowledge of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, any employee, agent, affiliate or representative of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or
controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or
target of any Sanctions, (ii) located, organized or resident in a Designated
Jurisdiction, or (iii) included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated
Nationals, HMT’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the
Investment Ban List, or any similar list enforced by any other relevant
sanctions authority. The Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted their
businesses in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Sanctions
and have instituted and maintained policies and procedures designated to promote
and achieve compliance with such Sanctions.
5.28     Anti-Corruption Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries have conducted
their businesses in compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act of 1977, the UK Bribery Act of 2010, and in all material respects with
applicable anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions and have instituted and
maintained policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance
with such laws.

Institution.

purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this
connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents,
sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral
(or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Instruments, or for
exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the
Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of
this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under
the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
9.02     Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent or
the collateral agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder and the Person serving as the collateral agent hereunder in their
respective individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or
in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Company, any other Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the
Company or any other Borrower as if such Person were not the Administrative
Agent or the collateral agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

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

9.03     Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its
duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger:
(a)     shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)     shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
or the Revolving Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan
Documents), provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving
Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan
Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that
may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that
may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting
Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;
(c)     shall have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the
Administrative Agent, Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity,
except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;
(d)     shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the
consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (under the circumstances
described in Section 8.02(d) or 8.04(d)) either the Required Lenders or the
Required Revolving Lenders) (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01,
8.02 and 8.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender. Notice to the
Administrative Agent shall not by itself constitute notice to the Revolving
Administrative Agent, and notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent shall not
by itself constitute notice to the Administrative Agent; and
(e)     shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any

of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or
therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority
of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Instruments, (v) the value
or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable.
9.04     Reliance by Administrative Agent and Revolving Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall each be
entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed,
sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that
by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and
other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants
or experts.
9.05     Delegation of Duties. Each of the Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable. Each of the Administrative Agent
and the Revolving Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their
respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the
credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent or Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents
except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a
final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

148

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

9.06     Resignation of Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent
and the Revolving Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, gives notice
of its resignation, (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative
Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, may (but shall not be obligated to) on
behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or collateral
agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that
in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting
Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall
become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective
Date.
(a)     If the Person serving as Administrative Agent or Revolving
Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the
definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such
Person as Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, and, in
consultation with the Company, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall
have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Effective Date.
(b)     With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or
collateral agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the
case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable,
shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, is appointed) and
(2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, all
payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, shall
instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or collateral agent,
as applicable, as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s
appointment as Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable,
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed)
Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, (other than as provided
in Section 3.01(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other
amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent or collateral
agent, as applicable, as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal
Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
or collateral agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties
and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The
149

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

fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the
same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Company and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent’s, or collateral agent’s, as applicable, resignation or removal hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
(i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as
any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any
collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any
actions take in connection with transferring the agency to any successor
Administrative Agent.
(c)     Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as New Vehicle
Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns
as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, it shall
retain all the rights of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to
require the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to
Section 2.03(e) and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Base Rate Loans
or fund risk participations in outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(e). Upon the appointment by the Company of a
successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender
hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a
Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring New Vehicle
Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, respectively, and (b) the
retiring New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall
be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents.
9.07     Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has made any representation or warranty to
it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative
Agent or the Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance
of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate
thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Arranger to any
Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Administrative Agent or the Arranger have disclosed material
information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and
the Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent the Arranger, any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of,
appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties
and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws
relating to the transactions contemplated hereby,
150

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

and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to
the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent the Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related
Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to
time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform
itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender represents and
warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending
facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans
in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or L/C
Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and
providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender
or L/C Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any
other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim
in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it
is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold
commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be
applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in
making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to
provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding
such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.
9.08     No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
none of the Bookrunner, Arranger, Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents
listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except

agent or a Lender hereunder.
9.09     Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case
of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise.
(a)     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent
hereunder) (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the
Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent) and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
collateral agent) under Sections 2.14 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
(b)     to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
151

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
collateral agent) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Lenders or the Revolving Administrative Agent, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.14 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative
Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, at the
direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the
Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction
of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or
through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral
(a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of
the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to
which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or
acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at
the direction of) the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent
(whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable
Law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed
to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a
ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated
claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis
that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to
the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the
contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity
Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are
used to consummate such purchase).  In connection with any such bid (i) each of
the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, as collateral
agent, shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a
bid, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents
providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided
that any actions by the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent with
respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of
the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or
indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination
of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the
Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (j) of Section 10.01 of this
Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the
relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as
a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro
rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an
acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit
bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take
any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to
an acquisition vehicle are not used to
152

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

acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or
better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle
exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise),
such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and
the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle
on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle
shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any
acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent under any Loan
Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full

assets that are owned by such Person and not by any Loan Party, (ii) to enter
into intercreditor arrangements with holders of Permitted Third Party Service
Loaner Indebtedness as described in the definition thereof, (iii) to enter into
intercreditor arrangements with holders of Permitted Real Estate Indebtedness or
Permitted Third Party Service Loaner Indebtedness for the purpose of releasing
or subordinating any Lien of the Administrative Agent on property that
constitutes Permitted Real Estate Indebtedness Collateral or collateral
permitted by the Loan Documents to secure such Permitted Third Party Service
Loaner Indebtedness, and (iv) to enter into the Master Intercreditor Agreement
(and execute, deliver and modify the exhibits described therein from time to
time as contemplated by the Loan Documents);
(d)     to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by
the Revolving Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any
Lien on such
property that is permitted by Section 7.01, including without limitation, in

Borrower” and/or “Used Vehicle Borrower” with respect to a Removed Franchise, as
applicable, pursuant to Section 2.22;
(e)     to release any Subsidiary Guarantor, Used Vehicle Borrower or New
Vehicle Borrower from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty or Credit
Agreement, as applicable,

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

(and to release any Lien on any property of such Subsidiary Guarantor, Used
Vehicle Borrower or New Vehicle Borrower) if:

the Administrative Agent a revised exhibit to the Master Intercreditor Agreement
with respect to such Person; provided that, if, in the future, (x) such Person
again operates any Vehicle dealership (unless it will be a Silo Subsidiary in
accordance with Section 7.16), the Company or such Person wishes for Loans to be
made available with respect to such Person, then such Person shall join the
facilities under the Credit Agreement and deliver any documents required by
Section 6.14 as if such Person were a newly created Subsidiary; and
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Revolving Administrative
Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or
items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations
under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as
specified in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent or Revolving
Administrative Agent will, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver to the
applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request
to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
security interest granted under the Security Instruments or to subordinate its
interest in such item, or to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its
obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.
9.11     Collateral. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders further
acknowledge that the Revolving Administrative Agent has duties and obligations
under the Revolving Credit Agreement and other Revolving Loan Documents, and
that the Revolving Administrative Agent is serving as collateral agent hereunder
solely as a convenience to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Revolving Lenders in the handling and disposition of collateral. Accordingly,
the Administrative Agent and the Lender hereby consent to the performance by the
Revolving Administrative Agent, in its discretion, of its duties, obligations
and other actions under the Revolving Credit Agreement and other Revolving Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty
to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the
existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or
perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by any Loan
Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible
or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of
the Collateral.

be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in
respect of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility.
165

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

(iv)     Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each permitted assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of
$3,500, provided however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)     No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A)
to any Loan Party or any Affiliates or Subsidiaries of any Loan Party, or (B) to
any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or a holding company
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of a natural Person).
(vi)     Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto
set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional
payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon
distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by
the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the
Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously
requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the
applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and
satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon)
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
and participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle
Floorplan Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then
the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such
166

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

Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)     Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall
maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register
information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any
Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by
each of the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent
for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any
Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the
Register.
(d)     Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Company, any Borrower, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the
Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle
Floorplan Operations Group, sell participations to any Person (other than a
natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or
the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans (including such Lender’s participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans and/or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans) owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall
be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the
existence of any participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Each of the Company and each
Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01 and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section
(it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall
be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that
167

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

such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05 and
10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B)
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired
the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and
expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate
the provisions of Section 3.05 with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of
each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register.
(e)     [Omitted Intentionally].
(f)     Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under any of its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;
provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.
(g)     Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The
words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in any Loan Document or any other document executed in connection
herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic
matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms
approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
is under any obligation to agree to
168

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

accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly
agreed to by the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to procedures
approved by it and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the
request of any party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by
such manually executed counterpart.
(h)     Resignation as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans
pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice
to the Company, resign as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and/or (ii) upon 30
days’ notice to the Company, resign as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender. In the
event of any such resignation as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the
Lenders a successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint
any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.
If Bank of America resigns as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all
the rights of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with
respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as
of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund
risk participations in outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans
pursuant to Section 2.03(e). If Bank of America resigns as Used Vehicle Swing
Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Used Vehicle Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line
Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make
Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(e). Upon the
appointment of a successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and/or Used Vehicle
Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring New Vehicle Swing Line
Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.
10.07     Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related
Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested
by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or
its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant
in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible
Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c) or (ii) any actual
or prospective party (or its Related Parties)
169

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

to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made
by reference to a Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection
with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided
hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection
with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers
with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent
of the Company or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (y) becomes

Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Company or (z) is independently discovered or developed by
a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from the Company or
violating the terms of this Section 10.07. In addition, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information
contained in this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers
to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents, and the Commitments.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or any
of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Company
or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the
Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public
information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it
has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws.
10.08     Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company or any
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Company or any Borrower,
as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of the Company or such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured
or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or
office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in
the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off shall be paid
170

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

over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall
be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender
as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application.
10.09     Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the
Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest
permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it
exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or
a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in
equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10     Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all
of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall become effective when they shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by telecopy or other
electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

171

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

10.11     Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith
shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that
the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
10.12     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section
10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws,
as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing
Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13     Replacement of Lenders. If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05, or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all
of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Sections 3.01 and Section 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the
related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that:
(a)     the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b)     such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)     in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;
172

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

(d)     such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e)     in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
Each party hereto agrees that (a) an assignment required pursuant to this
Section 10.13 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed
by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and (b) the Lender
required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such
assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound
by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such
assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver
such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by
the applicable Lender, provided, further that any such documents shall be
without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary, the Lender that
acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in
accordance with the terms of Section 9.06.

(ii)     a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or

10.21     Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the
Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap
Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC
Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge
and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the
regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in
respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below
applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in
fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the
United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a
“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution
Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit
Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such
QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same
extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special
176

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

Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such
interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the
United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a
BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a
U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that
might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may
be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no
greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S.
Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event
affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any
QFC Credit Support.
(b)    As used in this Section 10.21, the following terms have the following
meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined
under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term
is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as

SCHEDULE 1.01C
CERTAIN ERISA INFORMATION
Five dealership subsidiaries of Sonic Automotive, Inc. located in Northern
California are currently contributing employers to the Automotive Industries
Pension Trust Fund (EIN # 94-1133245), Plan No. 001 (the “Plan”) (and one closed
dealership subsidiary previously also was a contributing employer), making
fixed-dollar contributions to the Plan pursuant to collective bargaining
agreements with the International Association of Machinists. The Plan is a
“Multiemployer Plan” (as defined in the Agreement) with numerous participating
contributing employers primarily located in the State of California. The federal
Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “Act”) requires multiemployer defined
benefit pension plans to engage an actuary to annually evaluate the particular
pension plan’s funding status, and to determine the extent to which the
particular plan is projected to meet its obligations. A determination by the
actuary that the particular plan is in “critical status” pursuant to the Act
triggers requirements for the particular plan to adopt a rehabilitation plan
designed to improve the plan’s financial condition over time and improve the
plan’s ability to meet pension obligations in the future. In 2008, the Board of
Trustees of the Plan formally notified participating employers, among others,
that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in critical status pursuant to
the Act. The Board of Trustees of the Plan also adopted a Rehabilitation Plan to
address such status pursuant to the requirements of the Act, including
suspension or elimination of certain benefits that were previously available
under the Plan and requirements to increase participating employer contributions
for a seven-year period that began with the 2013 plan year. The Form 5500 filed
for the Plan for the 2018 plan year included an actuarial certification
indicating that, as of January 1, 2019, the Plan is in critical and declining
status, and providing notice that the Plan is making the scheduled progress in
meeting the requirements of the Plan’s current Rehabilitation Plan, based on the
annual standards of the Rehabilitation Plan.

SCHEDULE 5.01(a)
INFORMATION REGARDING ALABAMA
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL

Alabama Tax Appeal for SAI Irondale L LLC and
SAI Irondale Imports LLC

    Please accept this brief summary of the current status of the Alabama state
tax appeal for SAI Irondale LLC (“Lexus”) and SAI Irondale Imports LLC
(“Imports”). Currently, both Lexus and Imports are subject to an ongoing audit
relating to state sales tax, consumers’ use tax and rental tax for the periods
from May 2013 through 2016 (Alabama has added on calendar year 2017, which is in
dispute). Both Lexus and Imports have appealed the assessments asserted by the
Alabama Department of Revenue and are vigorously defending the same. The initial
assessments amounted to approximately $4,394,000 in taxes, interest and
penalties. The audits were conducted by using error percentage on test periods
and then applying the percentage rate to other periods.

    Currently, the assessments have been reduced somewhat, particularly for
Lexus. Imports and Lexus have also provided additional detail pursuant to
petitions for review which are still under review by the Alabama Department of
Revenue management for further reductions in the assessments. Before any such
reductions due to their review, the assessments for Lexus currently amount to
$298,844.92 (plus interest and penalties). The current assessments for Imports
are $2,044,505 for state sales tax, $832,525 for consumer’s use tax and $105,757
for rental tax.

    In both audits, the sales tax issues center around documentation relating to
out of state sales (items sold in the State of Alabama and then transported out
of the state) and wholesale sales not subject to tax, the sale on a wholesale
basis of parts and the taxation of warranty and sublet repair work. In the
consumer’s use tax context, the assertions mainly center on whether sales tax
was paid and, if not, then consumer’s use tax would be owed including some taxes
asserted based on some corporate parent purchases. The auditor did substantially
reduce the Lexus assessment on this issue but failed to apply the same
methodology to the Imports’ determination. The rental tax assessments relate to
taxes due on the amounts payable at lease commencement and on the first month’s
rental payment and who is paying the same. That had been resolved favorably with
the auditor in the favor of Lexus (no rental tax) but again Imports was not
finalized. We do expect some rental tax to be owed by Imports as the lease
financing companies on the Imports dealership vehicles do not all handle this
issue in a correct manner.

    In the procedural stage, we are in the post-audit petition for review
process at the Alabama Department of Revenue in Montgomery, essentially an
administrative review of the audit. In the event that issues are not resolved
there, Lexus and Imports will have the opportunity to either file with the
Alabama Tax Tribunal (an independent body) to further appeal any assessments
(without payment of tax) or to pay the tax and file a refund action in an
applicable circuit court for a refund of such taxes.
