Exhibit 4.8


 


 


FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of January 21, 2004,
among the Subsidiaries of the Company (as defined below) listed on
Schedule II hereto (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”), Asbury
Automotive Group, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”), the
other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and The Bank
of New York, as trustee under the indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).


WITNESSETH


WHEREAS, the Company has
heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”),
dated as of December 23, 2003 providing for the issuance of 8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”);


WHEREAS, the Indenture
provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which
each Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the
Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions
set forth herein (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”); and


WHEREAS, pursuant
to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture.


NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Guaranteeing
Subsidiaries, the other Guarantors and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree
for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:


1.             CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.


2.             AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary
hereby agrees as follows:


(a)           Along with all Guarantors named in
the Indenture, to jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder
or thereunder, that:


(i)            the principal of and interest on the
Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of
and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly
paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
and


(ii)           in case of
any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that same will be promptly





















 


paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly
and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.


(b)           The obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions
hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action
to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.


(c)           The following is hereby waived:
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the
event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands
whatsoever.


(d)           This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not
be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Notes and the Indenture, and such Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all
obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture.


(e)           If any Holder or the Trustee is
required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or
any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation
to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.


(f)            Such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall
not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby.


(g)           As between the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6
of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding
any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the
Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary
Guarantee.


(h)           The Guarantors shall have the right
to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.


I-2





















 


(i)            Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the
Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent
and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or
fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under
Article 11 of the Indenture, this new Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to
the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor
under this Subsidiary Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.


3.             EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary
agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee.


4.             GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARIES MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON
CERTAIN TERMS.


(a)           No Guaranteeing Subsidiary may sell
or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to or
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the
surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not
affiliated with such Guarantor unless:


either


(i)


(A)          the
Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger, if other than such
Guarantor, assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture,
its Guarantee and, if the Exchange Offer has not been consummated or Special
Interest remains due and owing, under the Registration Rights Agreement
pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and completes all other required documentation; or


(B)           the
Net Proceeds, if any, of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the provisions of described in the third paragraph of
Section 4.10 of this Indenture; and


(ii)           immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default exists.


(b)           In case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor
corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee
and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed
upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor
corporation shall succeed to and 


I-3





















 


be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as
if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation
thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be
endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the
Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank
and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all
of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.


(c)           Except as set forth in Articles 4 and
5 and Section 11.05 of Article 11 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses
(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes
shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or another Guarantor.


5.             RELEASES.


(a)           In the event of a sale or other
disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the
capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either
before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition,
by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of
such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its
Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds, if any, of such sale or other
disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made
by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall
execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.


(b)           Any Guarantor not released from its
obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations
of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 11 of the
Indenture.


6.             NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of any
Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary
Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each
Holder


 


I-4





















 


of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to
waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the
SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.


7.             INDENTURE.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture shall continue in
full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof as in existence
on the date hereof.  This
Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and
every Holder of Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall
be bound hereby.


8.             NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT
WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY.


9.             COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies
of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all
of them together represent the same agreement.


10.           EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section
headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.


11.           THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be
responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals
contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guarantors and
the Company.


 


I-5





















 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed, all
as of the date first above written.
