 THE LOANS 
 Section 2.1 The
Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each such
loan, a “Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time such Lender’s pro rata share of the Advance Limit; provided,
after giving effect to any Loan, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loans shall not at any time exceed the Commitment. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, borrow, prepay and
reborrow Loans under this Section 2.1. 
 Section 2.2 The Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrowing shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or the remaining balance of the aggregate
Commitment, if less) and an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and shall consist of Loans, made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments; provided, the failure of any Lender to make any Loan
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder. 
 (b) Subject to Section 2.16(h), each Lender may
fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing, at its option, any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that the exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to
repay such Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  

 19 








 (c) Each Lender shall make Loans equal to its then Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing by paying
the amount required to the Agent in New York, New York in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the proposed Borrowing Date and, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Article IV, the Agent shall promptly and in any event on the same Business Day, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent, or to such other depository account as shall be
designated by the Borrower or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. 
 Section 2.3 Notice of Borrowings and Borrowing Procedures. In order to obtain a Loan, the Borrower shall make an
irrevocable written request therefor (or give irrevocable telephone notice thereof, confirmed as soon as practicable by written request) to the Agent, in the form of a Request for Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, one
(1) Business Day before the Borrowing Date of a proposed Borrowing. Each Request for Borrowing shall specify (1) the Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day), (2) the aggregate amount thereof and (3) the location and number
of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. The Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any Request for Borrowing given by the Borrower on the same day such Request for Borrowing is received pursuant to this
Section 2.3 and of each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Borrowing. 
 Section 2.4 Obligations Absolute.
The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents to repay the Loan shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such
other Loan Document under all circumstances, including the following: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of all or any of the Obligations, or other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the applicable/related Loan Documents; (c) the existence of any other claim that the Borrower may then have against the
Agent or any other Lender in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the related Loan Documents, other than the defense of payment; (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or discharge of, the Borrower other than the defense of payment. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4 shall constitute a waiver by the Borrower of any claims arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of the Agent. 
 Section 2.5 Notes; Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) All Loans made hereunder shall be evidenced by the Notes payable as therein provided, which Notes shall be dated the Effective Date, and shall be in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the Commitment on such date. The outstanding principal balance of such Loans and all interest thereon and all the Obligations, as evidenced by the Notes, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement, and on the Maturity Date. Each Note shall bear interest from its date on the outstanding principal balance thereof as provided in Section 2.6. 
  

 20 








 (b) Each Lender or the Agent, on its behalf, is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on a
schedule attached to the Notes delivered to it (or a computer generated supplement thereto, which supplement shall be deemed to be a part thereof), or otherwise record in such Lender’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, internal records, an
appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan, as well as the date and amount of each payment and prepayment with respect thereto; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to make such a notation or any error in such
a notation shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. 
 Section 2.6 Interest on Loans.

 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7 and Section 2.12, each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement. The applicable LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Lender of each such determination. 
 Section 2.7 Default Interest. Notwithstanding Section 2.6, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount
of all outstanding Obligations at the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts shall be due and payable on demand. 
 Section 2.8 Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on the last day of each March, June, September and
December and on the Maturity Date, in immediately available funds, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a Commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the
average unused amount of the Commitment during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period thereof) just ended. All Commitment Fees under this Section 2.8(a) shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days, as the case may be. The Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed “unused” to the extent and in the amount that the aggregate Commitments exceed outstanding Loans. The Commitment Fees due to each Lender shall
commence to accrue on the Effective Date and cease to accrue on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitments of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.9 or Section 9.3(b). 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay the Agent the administration fees (“Administrative Fees”) in such amount and on such dates as may be agreed
among the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to that certain letter agreement between said parties dated October 10, 2008 (the “Administrative Fee Letter”). 
  

 21 








 (c) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Effective Date the fees
payable to the Lenders as provided in the Administrative Fee Letter. 
 Section 2.9 Termination, Reduction of Commitments.

 (a) Upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrower may at any time, in whole, permanently
terminate or permanently reduce the Commitment, among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments; provided any such partial reduction of the Commitment shall be in minimum aggregate increments of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000). 
 (b) At the time the Commitment of any Lender is terminated or reduced pursuant to
Section 2.9(a), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each such Lender, the Commitment Fees on the amount of such terminated or reduced Commitment owed to the date of such termination or reduction. 
 (c) The Commitment shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Each Borrowing may be prepaid at any time and from time to time prior to its respective date due in accordance herewith, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written or
facsimile notice to the Agent. 
 (b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(a),
the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the amount by which the Commitment is being so terminated or reduced, as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding will not exceed the Advance
Limit following such termination or reduction. 
 (c) Each notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date
and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) Loan to be prepaid. All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment. 
 (d) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans exceeds the Advance Limit, Borrower shall
immediately prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 Section 2.11 Reserve Requirements; Change in
Circumstances. 
 (a) It is understood that the cost to each Lender of making or maintaining any of the Loans may fluctuate as a result of
the applicability of reserve requirements imposed by the Board at the ratios provided for in Regulation D on the Effective Date. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender from time to time such amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender
for the portion of the cost of making or maintaining Loans resulting from any increase in such reserve requirements provided for in Regulation D (or any successor regulation or ruling issued in respect 

  

 22 








 
thereof) from those as in effect on the Effective Date, it being understood that the rates of interest applicable to Loans have been determined on the
assumption that no such reserve requirements exist or will exist and that such rates do not reflect costs imposed on the Lenders in connection with such reserve requirements. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest
on any Loan made by such Lender or any other fees or amounts payable hereunder (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income or profits of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office has its principal
office or is located or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, such Lender or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof, by an amount deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be
material, then the Borrower shall pay as required in Section 2.11(d) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs or an amount equal to such reduction will be paid to such Lender with respect
to the Loans, as the case may be. 
 (c) If any Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline
regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Eurodollar Lending Office of such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material, then the Borrower shall pay as required by
Section 2.11(d) to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction. 
 (d) A
certificate of each Lender setting forth in reasonable detail calculations (together with the basis and assumptions therefor) to establish such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate without duplication such Lender (or participating
banks or other entities pursuant to Section 9.3 subject to the limitations set forth therein) under Section 2.11(a), (b) or (c), shall be delivered to the Agent which shall promptly deliver the same to the
Borrower and such certificate shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
after its receipt of the same. 
  

 23 








 (e) Any demand for compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 must be made no later than
ninety (90) days after the later of (i) the date on which the Lender first incurs the expense, cost or economic loss referred to and (ii) the date on which the Lender first has knowledge that it is liable for such expense, cost or
economic loss, or such Lender shall be deemed to have waived the right to such compensation. The protection of this Section 2.11 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability
of any law, regulation or other condition which shall give rise to any demand by such Lender for compensation; provided, if any such contention is undertaken by any Lender, in its sole discretion, and same results in any refund to such Lender
of any amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.11, Lender shall promptly refund such payment to the Borrower, without interest. 
 Section 2.12 Change in Legality. 
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Loan bearing interest at
the LIBO Rate, then, by written notice to the Agent, such Lender may: 
 (i) declare that such Loans will not thereafter be
made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Borrower for a Borrowing bearing interest at the LIBO Rate shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Borrowing bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, as applicable
unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn at which time all Loans shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate (plus the Applicable Margin) immediately; and 
 (ii) require that all such outstanding Loans made by it be converted to Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, in which event
all such Loans shall be automatically converted to Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.12(b). 
 In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender or the
converted Loans of such Lender, in each case bearing interest at the LIBO Rate, shall instead be applied to repay the Loans bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate, made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Loans.

 (b) For purposes of Section 2.12(a), a notice to the Agent by any Lender shall be effective as to each Loan bearing interest
at the LIBO Rate on the last day of each applicable Interest Period. 
 Section 2.13 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise
provided herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of the Notes, each payment of interest on such Notes, each other reduction of the principal or interest outstanding under such Notes, however achieved, each payment of the
Commitment Fees and each reduction of the Commitment shall be made in accordance with each Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share of Commitment. 
  

 24 








 Section 2.14 Place of Payments. 
 (a) The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest on any Loan on the date when due in Dollars to the Agent at JPMorgan Chase Bank, 312
South 4th Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, or by wire transfer to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., ABA#021000021, for credit to account #9008113381C2758, reference: Asbury Automotive, Attn: Teresa Barnickle, Commercial Loan Services. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Borrower shall make all payments (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, the Administrative Fee, or any other fees or other amounts) payable hereunder and under any other Loan Document not
later than 1:00 p.m., New York time in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. 
 (b) Whenever any payment (including
principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest and fees, if applicable; provided, all payments must be made on or before the Maturity Date. 
 (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent its
portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing. The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount. If, and to the extent that a Lender shall not have made its portion of a Borrowing available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally, but without duplication, agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Agent until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent (i) in the case of the Borrower, at the applicable rate in respect of the affected
Loan and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

 Section 2.15 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, in any manner, including through the exercise of a right
of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim,
received by such Lender under any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the Note held by it as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of the Note held by it shall be proportionately less
than the unpaid principal portion of the Note held by any other Lender, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from such other Lender a participation in the Note held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount
of the Note and participations in Notes held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes then outstanding as the principal amount of the Note held by it prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim was to the principal amount of all Notes outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim; provided, that if any such purchase or 

  

 25 








 
purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such
purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. 
 Section 2.16 Payments Free of Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the Agent’s or any Lender’s
or any transferee’s, assignee’s or participation holder’s (any such entity a “Transferee”) net income and franchise taxes imposed on the Agent or any Lender (or Transferee) by the United States or any jurisdiction
under the laws of which it is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower
shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders (or any Transferee) or the Agent then: (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document which are not excluded under Section 2.16 (hereinafter
referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
 (c) The Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee) and the Agent for the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender (or Transferee) and the Agent, as the case may be, and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such
indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date any such Person indemnified hereunder makes written demand therefor, such demand to contain a certificate setting forth the calculations (including all assumptions and the
basis therefor) to establish the amount for which indemnity is claimed. If a Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of
the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by the Borrower, apply for such refund at the Borrower’s expense. If any Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent receives a refund in respect of any
Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Person has received payment from the Borrower, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a request by the Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if
the Borrower has requested application for such refund pursuant hereto), repay such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Person and without interest; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Person,
agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Person in the event such Person is required to repay such refund. 
  

 26 








 (d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by the
Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender (or Transferee) or the Agent, the Borrower will furnish to such Person, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof
to the extent available. 
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations
contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder. 
 (f) The Agent, each Lender and each Transferee each represents that it is either (i) a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or (ii) it is entitled to complete exemption from
United States withholding tax imposed on or with respect to any payments, including fees, to be made to it pursuant to this Agreement (y) under an applicable provision of a tax convention to which the United States of America is a party or
(z) because it is acting through a branch, agency or office in the United States of America and any payment to be received by it hereunder is effectively connected with a trade or business in the United States of America. Each Lender (or
Transferee) which is organized outside the United States shall, on the date it becomes a signatory hereto, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued
pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent
version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee) establishing such payments to it are (i) not subject to withholding under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such
Lender (or Transferee) of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty. Unless the Borrower and the Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to
them indicating that payments hereunder or under the Notes are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower and/or the Agent shall withhold taxes from such
payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender (or Transferee) or assignee organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. The Borrower hereby waives any cause of action against the
Agent, any Transferee or any of the Lenders resulting from a breach of any obligation contained in this Section 2.16(f) or the representations contained in this Section 2.16(f) being untrue. 
 (g) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee) in respect of United States withholding tax pursuant
to Section 2.16(a) or Section 2.16(c) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of the representation in Section 2.16(f) to be true or a failure by such Lender (or
Transferee) to comply with the provisions of Section 2.16(f) above unless such failure results from (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation
of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the Effective Date. 
  

 27 








 (h) Any Lender (or Transferee) claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to
Section 2.11 or this Section 2.16 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar
Lending Office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender (or Transferee). 
 (i) If any Lender (or Transferee) requests compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16, or is
unable to make a Loan, as contemplated in Section 2.12 when other Lenders are able to do so, the Borrower may give notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Agent) that they wish to seek one or more Eligible Assignees (which may be one
or more of the Lenders) to assume the Commitment of such Lender and to purchase its outstanding Loans and Note. Each affected Lender (or Transferee) hereto agrees to sell its Commitment, all of its Loans and its Note pursuant to
Section 9.3 to any such Eligible Assignee for an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Loans and Note plus all Commitment Fees and other fees and amounts due such Lender (or
Transferee) hereunder calculated, in each case, to the date such Commitment, Loans and Note are purchased, whereupon such Lender (or Transferee) shall thereafter have no other Commitment or other obligation to the Borrower hereunder or under any
Note. 
 Section 2.17 Applicable Interest Rate. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice to
the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to continuation, to continue all or any portion of any Borrowing as a Borrowing for an additional Interest Period subject to the following: 
 (a) each continuation shall be made among the Lenders, in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Commitments; 
 (b) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any such Loan shall be continued, the aggregate principal amount of such Loan continued shall be
an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); 
 (c) any portion of a
Borrowing required to be repaid in less than one month may not be continued as a Borrowing; 
 (d) any portion of a Borrowing which cannot be
continued as a Borrowing by reason of clause (c) above shall be repaid by the Borrower at the end of the applicable Interest Period; and 
 (e) accrued interest on a Loan (or portion thereof) being continued shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of continuation. 
 Each notice
pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be irrevocable and specify the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests to be continued. The Agent shall promptly advise the other Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this
Section 2.17 and of each Lender’s portion of any continued Borrowing and the applicable interest rate. If the Borrower shall not have given written notice in accordance with this Section 2.17 to continue any Borrowing
into a subsequent Interest Period, such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be extended for an additional Interest Period. 
  

 28 








 Section 2.18 Replacement Lenders. 
 (a) If any Lender (i) makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Section 2.11(a), (b) or (c), (ii) notifies the
Agent of the unlawfulness of such Lender making or maintaining Loans as provided in Section 2.12, (iii) requests the Borrower to make payments for Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.16, or (iv) is a
Defaulting Lender, then in any such event the Agent or the Borrower may, unless the circumstances giving rise to such event no longer apply and such Lender has notified the Agent and the Borrower, terminate, in whole but not in part, the Commitment
of such Lender (the “Terminated Lender”) at any time upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Terminated Lender and the Agent (in the case of a termination effected by the Borrower) or the Borrower (in the case of a
termination effected by the Agent) (such notice referred to herein as a “Notice of Termination”). 
 (b) In order to effect
the termination of the Commitment of a Terminated Lender, the Borrower shall (i) obtain an agreement with one or more Lenders to increase their Commitments, (ii) request any one or more other Persons to become a “Lender” in place
and instead of such Terminated Lender and agree to accept its Commitment subject to the terms hereof or (iii) effect a reduction under Section 2.9(a); provided, such one or more other such Persons are Eligible Assignees and
become parties by executing an Assignment and Acceptance and (the Lenders or other Persons that agree to accept in whole or in part the Commitments being referred to herein as the “Replacement Lenders”), such that the aggregate
increased and/or accepted Commitments of the Replacement Lenders under clauses (i) and (ii) above equal the Commitments of the Terminated Lenders. 
 (c) The Notice of Termination shall include the name of the Terminated Lender, the date the termination will occur (the “Termination Date”), the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders to which the
Terminated Lender will assign its Commitment (if any), and, if there will be more than one Replacement Lender, the portion of the Terminated Lender’s Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement Lender. 
 (d) The Termination Date in instances where there is a Replacement Lender shall not occur until all of the following shall have been satisfied:
(i) the Terminated Lender shall by execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance assign its Commitment to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata, if there is more than one Replacement Lender, in proportion to the
portion of the Terminated Lender’s Commitment to be assigned to each Replacement Lender) indicated in the Notice of Termination and shall assign to the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders its then outstanding Loans so assigned then
outstanding (pro rata as aforesaid), (ii) the Terminated Lender shall endorse its Note, payable without recourse, representation or warranty to the order of the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders (pro rata as aforesaid),
(iii) the Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders shall purchase the Note held by the Terminated Lender (pro rata as aforesaid) at a price equal to the unpaid principal amount thereof plus interest and fees accrued and unpaid to the
Termination Date, and the Terminated Lender shall have received such price, (iv) the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall, upon request, execute and deliver, at its own expense, new Notes to the Replacement Lenders in accordance with
their 

  

 29 








 
respective interests, which new Notes will be in replacement of and not in addition to the Notes assigned and endorsed to the Replacement Lenders by the
Terminated Lender, (v) the Borrower shall, upon request, pay any compensation due to the Terminated Lender under Section 2.18(a) to the extent not previously paid to the Agent and received by the Terminated Lender, and (vi) the
Replacement Lender or Replacement Lenders will thereupon (pro rata as aforesaid) succeed to and be substituted in all respects for the Terminated Lender to the extent of such assignment from and after such date with the like effect as if becoming a
Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 9.3. To the extent not in conflict, the terms of Section 9.3 shall supplement the provisions of this Section 2.18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination Date shall
occur on the date that the Notice of Termination is sent in cases of a Terminated Lender that is a Defaulting Lender due to its being deemed insolvent or becoming the subject of an insolvency proceeding. 
 Section 2.19 Increase of Commitments. 
 (a) At any time after the Effective Date, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may request an increase of the aggregate Commitments by notice thereof to the Agent in writing (such notice, a
“Commitment Increase Notice”), in an amount not less than $10,000,000 nor more than $25,000,000 in the aggregate provided that the Borrower may provide such a Commitment Increase Notice a maximum of two times during the term
of the Loan. The Agent will provide the Lenders with notice of such Commitment Increase Notice. Any such Commitment Increase Notice shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and must offer each Lender the opportunity to subscribe for
its pro rata share of the increased Commitment. If the Borrower does not receive either telephonic or written notice from the Agent that all of the increased Commitment is subscribed for by the Lenders within fifteen (15) Business Days after
the delivery of the Commitment Increase Notice, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, but with the consent of the Agent as to any Person that is not at such time a Lender, offer to any existing Lender or to one or more additional banks or
financial institutions the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of such unsubscribed portion of the increased Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 2.19(c), as applicable. 
 (b) Any additional bank or financial institution that the Borrower selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments, and that elects to become
a party to this Agreement with the Borrower and the Agent (a “New Lender”), by the execution of an agreement (a “New Lender Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19(b), shall become a Lender for
all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereof and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. The Commitment of any such New Lender shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000. 
 (c) Any Lender that accepts an offer by the Borrower to increase its Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall, in each case, execute an
agreement whereby it agrees to be bound by, and accept the benefits of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a “Commitment Increase Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.19(c), with the Borrower and the
Agent. Upon delivery to the Agent of one or more Commitment Increase Agreements, the Agent shall enter such New Lender and its Commitment in the Register and distribute a new Schedule 2.1 reflecting the Commitment of such New Lender and the
Commitments, as increased. 
  

 30 








 (d) The effectiveness of any Commitment Increase Agreement shall be contingent upon receipt by the Agent
of such corporate resolutions of the Borrower and legal opinions of counsel to the Borrower as the Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. 
 (e) Additional Loans made on or after the date that any bank or financial institution becomes a New Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or any
Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.19(c), (the “Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on their respective Commitments in effect on or after such Re-Allocation Date (except to the
extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Lender and/or Lenders with
such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments), and continuations of Loans outstanding on such Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Loans on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto and the making of new Loans pro rata based on the respective Commitments in effect on and after such Re-Allocation Date. In the event that on any such Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of Loans, such Loans
shall remain outstanding with the respective holders thereof until the expiration of their respective Interest Periods (unless the Borrower elects to prepay any thereof in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement), and interest on
and repayments of such Loans will be paid thereon to the respective Lenders holding such Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof outstanding. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, (i) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and
(ii) after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19, the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed $100,000,000. 
 (g) The Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes to each New Lender and replacement Notes to Lenders signing a Commitment Increase Agreement in
the amount of said Persons’ Commitments.

 Section 5.1 Existence. It will maintain and preserve, and except as permitted by
Section 6.3, will cause each Subsidiary to maintain and preserve, its respective existence and good standing under the laws of its state of jurisdiction, as a corporation or other form of business organization, as the case may be.

 Section 5.2 Repair. It will maintain, preserve and keep, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, preserve and
keep, all of its properties in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted). It will at all times do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect, the rights, licenses, permits, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of its
businesses except where the failure to do so could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; it and each of its Subsidiaries will maintain and operate such businesses in substantially the manner in which they are presently conducted and
operated (subject to changes in the ordinary course of business) except where the failure to do so could not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; it and each of its Subsidiaries will comply with all laws and regulations applicable to the
operation of such businesses whether now in effect or hereafter enacted and with all other applicable laws and regulations except where the failure to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 5.3 Insurance. 
 (a) The
Borrower will maintain, on a consolidated basis, insurance to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities as is commonly maintained by companies similarly situated or as may be required in the Security Instruments including, without
limitation with respect to Used Motor Vehicles owned by itself and its Subsidiaries, naming the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate. 
 (b) Unless the Borrower provides the Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent may
purchase insurance at the Borrower’s expense to protect the Lenders’ interest. This insurance may, but need not, also protect the Borrower’s interest. If the Collateral becomes damaged, the coverage that the Agent purchases may not
pay any claim the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries makes or any claim made against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrower may later cancel this coverage by providing evidence that the Borrower has obtained the required insurance
coverage. 
 (c) The Borrower is responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by the Agent. The cost of this insurance may be added to
the Obligations. If the cost is added to the Obligations, the interest rate provided in Section 2.7 shall apply to such added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the date the Borrower’s prior coverage lapsed or the date
the Borrower failed to provide proof of coverage. 
  

 40 








 (d) The Borrower acknowledges that the coverage the Agent purchases may be considerably more expensive
than insurance that the Borrower can obtain on its own and may not satisfy any need for property damage coverage or any mandatory liability insurance requirements imposed by applicable law. 
 Section 5.4 Obligations and Taxes. The Borrower will pay and discharge and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, when
due, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies or otherwise unless and only to the extent that the
Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is contesting such taxes, assessments and governmental charges, levies or claims in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books such
reserves or other appropriate provisions therefor as may be required by GAAP. 
 Section 5.5 Financial Statements; Reports. The
Borrower will furnish to the Agent and each Lender:

 (b) The Agent shall hold all of the Collateral, along with all payments and proceeds arising therefrom, for the benefit of all Lenders as security for the payment of all the Obligations subject to the provisions of
Section 7.3(a). Upon payment in full of all the Obligations and termination of the Commitment, the Agent shall release all of the Collateral to the Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in Section 9.5, the
Agent, in its own name or in the name of the Borrower, may enforce any of the rights provided for in the Security Instruments and may collect, receive and receipt for all proceeds receivable on account of the Collateral. 
 (c) All payments and proceeds of every kind from the Collateral, when directly received by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.3(a) (whether from
payments on or with respect to the Collateral, from foreclosure and sale to third parties, from sale of Collateral subsequent to a foreclosure at which the Agent or another Lender was the purchaser, or otherwise) shall be held by it as a part of the
Collateral and, except as otherwise expressly provided hereinafter, shall be applied to the Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 7.3(a).

any other Lender to engage in any business transactions with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, with respect to their Commitments, the Loans, if any, made by them and the Notes, if any, issued to them, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates may be engaged in, or may hereafter engage in, one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing or other financing activities
not the subject of the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Other Financings”) with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or may act as trustee on behalf of, or depository for, or otherwise engage in other business transactions with
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (all Other Financings and other such business transactions being collectively, the “Other Activities”) with no responsibility to account therefor to the Lenders. Without limiting the rights and
remedies of the Lenders specifically set forth in the Loan Documents, no other Lender shall have any interest in (a) any Other Activities, (b) any present or future guarantee by or for the account of the Borrower not contemplated or
included in the Loan Documents, (c) any present or future offset exercised by the Agent in respect of any such Other 

  

 61 








 
Activities, (d) any present or future property taken as security for any such Other Activities or (e) any property now or hereafter in the
possession or control of the Agent which is not Collateral but which may be or become security for the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured, or of property contained in any
other agreements, documents or instruments related to such Other Activities; provided, that if any payment in respect of such guarantees or such property or the proceeds thereof shall be applied to reduction of the Obligations evidenced
hereunder and by the Notes, then each Lender shall be entitled to share in such application according to its equitable portion of such Obligations. 
 Section 8.4 Lenders’ Indemnity of Agent. 
 (a) The Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder or to
prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document unless indemnified to the Agent’s satisfaction by the Lenders against loss, cost, liability and expense. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent
shall become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given. In addition, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower), ratably according to the respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments, or if no Commitment is outstanding, the respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments immediately prior to the time the Commitment ceased to be outstanding held by each of them
(giving effect to any subsequent assignments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (or either of them) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its respective Pro Rata Share of the Commitments of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the
Borrower. The provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Obligations and/or the assignment of any of the Notes. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be liable under this Section 8.4 to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Each Lender agrees, however, that it expressly intends, under this Section 8.4, to indemnify the Agent ratably as aforesaid for all such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses and disbursements arising out of or resulting from the Agent’s sole ordinary or contributory negligence. 
 Section 8.5 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 3.5 or
Section 5.5 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other 
  

 62 








 
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder. 
 Section 8.6 Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If within thirty (30) calendar days after
the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, approved by the Borrower, prior to the occurrence and continuance an Event of Default, and shall have accepted such
appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank or a finance subsidiary of a Manufacturer, organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any state
thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent hereunder and under the Notes, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation as the Agent hereunder and under the Notes, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.4 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement
and the Notes. 
 Section 8.7 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default” or “notice of event of default,” as applicable. If the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and, if such notice is received from a Lender, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the
other Lenders and the Borrower. The Agent shall be entitled to take action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as provided in Section 7.2, Section 8.1 or Section 8.2.

 Section 9.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such
party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Agent or the Lenders that are 

  

 64 








 
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Except as permitted by Section 6.3,
the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or Obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders. 
 (b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including a portion of its Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and
the Note held by it); provided, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a fund managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a
Lender, the Borrower (except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default) and the Agent must give their prior written consent by countersigning the Assignment and Acceptance (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
(ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations to this Agreement, (iii) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall (A) be equal to the entire amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender or (B) if not equal to the
entire amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender, in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); provided, for purposes of this
Section 9.3(b), that the retained Commitment of the assigning Lender may not be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit 13.3(b) hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note subject to such assignment and the assignor shall pay to the
Agent a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) payable by the Lender’s assignor thereunder, and (v) the assignee shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Upon such execution, delivery,
acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof unless otherwise agreed to by the assigning
Lender, the Eligible Assignee thereunder and the Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall ratify and become a party hereto and under the other Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (y) the Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty contained in Section 2.16(f) and that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any
adverse claim, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Agreement or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its Obligations under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial 

  

 65 








 
statements most recently delivered under Section 3.5 or Section 5.5 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such Lender’s assignor or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee and can make the
representation contained in Section 2.16(f) and has, to the extent required, complied with the covenants contained therein; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all
of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
 (d) The Agent shall maintain at
its address referred to in Section 9.1 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing
to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of demonstrable error, and the Borrower and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon request,
the Agent will send a copy of the Register to the Borrower. 
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with the Note subject to such assignment, the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.3(b) and, if required, the Borrower’s written consent to such assignment, the Agent shall
(subject to the consent of the Borrower to such assignment, if required), if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in the form of Exhibit 13.3(b), (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the
Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the assigning Lender’s Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and a new Note to the order of the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of its Commitment retained by the assigning Lender hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be
dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit 1.1D. Each canceled Note shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. 
 (f) Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it and the Note held by 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, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the 

  

 66 








 
cost protection provisions and Tax indemnities contained in Article II only to the same extent that the Lender from which such participating bank or
other entity acquired its participation would be entitled to the benefit of such cost protection provisions and Tax indemnities and (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender
in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers with respect to any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, or the dates fixed for payments of
principal of or interest on the Loans). 
 (g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.3, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;
provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions, including without limitation the provisions of Section 9.14) to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received from such Lender. 
 (h) Anything in this
Section 9.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, assign and pledge all or any portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it to any Federal Reserve Bank (and
its transferees) as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
 (i) All transfers of any interest in any Note hereunder shall be in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, if applicable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, however, the parties to this Agreement do not intend that any transfer under this Section 9.3 be construed as a “purchase” or “sale” of a “security” within the meaning of any
applicable federal or state securities laws. 
 Section 9.4 Expenses of the Agents and Lenders; Indemnity. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation of this
Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement or with the Loans made or the Notes issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
the counsel for the Agent, and (iii) in connection with the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default, the reasonable fees and disbursements of other counsel for any Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Lenders from and hold
them harmless against any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the Notes or other Loan Documents. 
  

 67 








 (b) THE BORROWER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES,
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ADVISORS AND AGENTS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND TO HOLD THE LENDERS AND SUCH OTHER INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED
EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (I) THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER (INCLUDING THE MAKING OF THE COMMITMENT OF EACH LENDER) AND CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND
THEREBY, (II) THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS OR (III) ANY CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER OR NOT ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS
TO ANY LENDER, APPLY TO ANY SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES THAT ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT
OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. THE BORROWER AGREES, THAT IT EXPRESSLY INTENDS TO INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNITEE FROM AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE ORDINARY SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY
NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR ANY LIABILITY STRICTLY IMPOSED BY STATUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 (c) The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of
any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any Note. All amounts due under this Section 9.4 shall be payable within ten (10) days following receipt by the Borrower of a
detailed invoice or statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such claim and the amounts so expended or lost or the amount of damages so incurred. 
 (d) No Indemnitee may settle any claim to be indemnified without prior written notice to the Borrower; provided failure to provide such prior written notice shall in no way affect the settlement of such claims,
unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the Borrower forfeiting substantive rights or defenses. The Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee and the Agent, and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s decision to assume the defense of any such proceeding, (x) its right to
enter into any compromise or settlement of the proceeding shall be limited as set forth below, and (y) the Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of any proceeding. Such counsel shall be at
the expense of the affected Indemnitee, unless (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent the 

  

 68 








 
Indemnitees would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the named parties to any proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the Borrower and an affected Indemnitee and (A) representation of both parties by the same counsel, or conduct by the Borrower of the defense of the affected Indemnitee, would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between the Borrower and such Indemnitee or (B) there may be defenses available to the affected Indemnitee which are materially different from, or in addition to, the defenses available to the Borrower, or (iii) the Borrower fails to
assume the defense of the proceeding or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the affected Indemnitee in each case in a timely manner. In the event of any of clauses (i) through (iii) is applicable, then the affected Indemnitee may
employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s expense to represent or defend such Indemnitee in any such proceeding or group of related proceedings (it being agreed that the Borrower shall not, under any of the circumstances described in
clause (i) or (ii) above, have the right to direct the defense of the proceeding on behalf of any Indemnitee). In no event shall the Borrower be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnitees in
connection with any proceeding, plus one firm of local counsel in each jurisdiction in which any such proceeding is taking place. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indemnitee and its counsel shall have the right (at the
Borrower’s expense) to defend and to make the final decision on matters affecting the conduct of such proceeding with respect to any allegation that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Borrower. 
 (e) In the case of any indemnification hereunder, the Indemnitee shall give notice to the Borrower of any such claim or demand being made against the
Indemnitee and the Borrower may participate in such proceeding at its own expense if legal counsel to the Borrower is acceptable to the Agent subject to Paragraph (d), above. 
 Section 9.5 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any branch
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, according to its rights as
otherwise provided herein, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such
setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have under applicable law. The Lenders agree to indemnify each other (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments, or if no Commitments
are outstanding, the respective Pro Rata Share of Commitments immediately prior to the time the Commitments ceased to be outstanding held by each of them (giving effect to any subsequent assignments), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Lender in any way relating to or arising out of any
action taken or omitted by such Lender in connection with its exercise of set off rights for credit to any or all of the Obligations. 
  

 69 








 Section 9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. 
 (a) This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and all other documents executed in connection herewith, shall be deemed to be contracts and
agreements executed by the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders under the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America and for all purposes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of said
State and of the United States of America. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in
respect of its property to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the City of New York or County of New York, New York, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or United
States federal court sitting in the state in which any of the Collateral is located, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Obligations. The Borrower hereby agrees and
consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any New York state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the City of
New York or County of New York, New York may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to the Borrower at its address stated in Section 9.1, or at a subsequent address of which the Agent received actual
notice from the Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. 
 Section 9.7 Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay of the Agent or any Lender in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be authorized as provided in
Section 9.7(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Each holder of any Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment,
modification, waiver or consent. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement, any Note, any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement or agreements entered into by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or applicable Loan Party; provided, that no such agreement shall (i) change or extend the principal
amount of, or extend the maturity of or any date for the payment of any principal of or interest on, any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or, except as provided in this Agreement, decrease the rate of interest on any
Loan, or the amount of any fees payable to any Lender without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change the Commitment of any Lender without the 

  

 70 








 
written consent of such Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees payable to any Lender without the written consent of each Lender, or change the aggregate
amount of the Commitment without the consent of each Lender (except in accordance with Section 2.19), (iii) release or defer the granting or perfecting of a Lien in any Collateral or release any Guarantee or similar undertaking
provided by any Person or modify any indemnity provided to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender; provided, the Agent shall be entitled to release any Collateral or any Guarantee which the
Borrower is permitted to sell or transfer or otherwise release under the terms of this Agreement or any Loan Document without notice to or any further action or consent of the Lenders; or (iv) amend or modify the provisions of this
Section 9.7, Section 2.15, Section 2.19(f), Section 7.3(a) or Section 9.3(a), the definition of the “Required Lenders” or the definition of “Borrower” without the
written consent of each Lender; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify, waive or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the written consent of the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent
may execute and deliver to the Borrower releases of chattel paper sold to any provider of Permitted Floorplan Silo Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement executed in connection therewith between the Agent and any
such provider. Each Lender and each holder of any Note shall be bound by any modification or amendment authorized by this Section 9.7 regardless of whether its Note shall be marked to make reference thereto, and any consent by any Lender
or holder of a Note pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note from it, whether or not such Note shall be so marked. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be
increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 
 Section 9.8 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”) shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of
the operation of this Section 9.8 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 Section 9.9 Severability; Conflicts. 
 (a) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement,
the Notes or any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions. 
  

 71 








 (b) In the event any of the terms and provisions of any other Loan Document (which shall not include the
Intercreditor Agreement) are inconsistent with the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement shall prevail. 
 Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, which may be delivered in original, electronic or facsimile form, and each of which shall constitute an original, but
all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.11. 
 Section 9.11 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors
and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein except as provided in Section 9.3(a). 
 Section 9.12 Liability. 
 (a) The Borrower agrees that its liability hereunder and its liability
under any of the Loan Documents shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored by any Lender or any holder of any Note,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower as though such payment had not been made. 
 (b) No delay on any of the
Lenders’ part in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any of the Lenders of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or remedy. No action of any of the Lenders permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any such Lenders’ rights or the Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 9.13 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which
information includes the name and address of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Act. 
 Section 9.14 Confidentiality. In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries provides to the Agent or any Lender, written
confidential information belonging to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is denominated in writing as “confidential,” the Agent and the Lenders shall thereafter maintain such information in confidence in accordance with the
standards of care and diligence that each utilizes in maintaining its own confidential information, including without limitation, non-disclosure of such information to any of such Agent’s or Lender’s Affiliates who may be competitors of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the business of acquiring and/or consolidating automotive dealerships. The obligation of confidence under this Section 9.14 shall not apply to such portions of the information which (i) are in
the public domain, (ii) hereafter become 

  

 72 








 
part of the public domain without the Agent or any Lender breaching its obligation of confidence hereunder, (iii) are previously known by such Agent or
Lender from some source other than the Borrower, (iv) are hereafter obtained by or available to such Agent or Lender from a third party who owes no obligation of confidence to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with respect to such information
or through any other means other than through disclosure by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (v) must be disclosed either pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or to Persons regulating or claiming regulatory authority over
the activities of the Agent or such Lender, or (vi) as may be required by law or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority in any judicial, arbitration, or governmental proceeding. Further, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose any
such information to any other Lender, participants and prospective assignees and participants who agree to be bound by the terms of this Section 9.14, Affiliates of such Lender who are not competitors of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
in the business of acquiring and/or consolidating automotive dealerships, any independent certified public accountants and any legal counsel employed by such Person in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, including without
limitation, the enforcement or exercise of all rights and remedies thereunder; provided, that the Agent or such Lender imposes on the Person to whom such information is disclosed the same obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such
information as is imposed upon it hereunder. 
 Section 9.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE
BORROWER AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER THE LENDERS, THE AGENT NOR THE BORROWER SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY
COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED
BY THE LENDERS, THE AGENT OR THE BORROWER EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM. 
 Section 9.16 FINAL AGREEMENT
OF THE PARTIES. Any previous agreement (other than the Intercreditor Agreement) among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer
upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 EXHIBIT 1.1D 
 FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT 
 GUARANTY AGREEMENT 
 THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of October 29, 2008 (this “Guaranty Agreement”), is entered into among EACH OF THE
UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as
Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 
 RECITALS: 
 A. Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), among Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto (from time to time, collectively, the
“Lenders”), the Lenders have agreed to provide to the Borrower a revolving credit facility. 
 B. Certain additional
extensions of credit may be made from time to time for the benefit of the Borrower or the Guarantors pursuant to certain Secured Swap Contracts (as hereinafter defined). 
 C. It is a condition precedent to the Secured Parties’ obligations to make and maintain such extensions of credit that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty Agreement to the
Administrative Agent. 
 D. Each Guarantor is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary of the Borrower and will materially benefit from the
Loans to be made under the Credit Agreement, and such other extensions of credit. 
 In order to induce the Secured Parties to make and
maintain extensions of credit from time to time under the Credit Agreement and under the Secured Swap Contracts, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the
payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means: (a) the Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared
due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from the
Borrower to any one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal, interest, and fees (including fees and expenses of counsel); (b) the Borrower’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every
agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by the Borrower under the 







 Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the prompt payment in full by the Borrower and
each Subsidiary, when due or declared due and at all such times, of obligations and liabilities now or hereafter arising under Secured Swap Contracts. The Guarantors’ obligations to the Secured Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each
Guarantor individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations 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 United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally,
directly and primarily liable (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the Guaranteed Liabilities. 
 The
Guarantors’ Obligations are secured by various Security Instruments referred to in the Credit Agreement, including without limitation the Security Agreement. 
 For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, the following terms have the following definitions: 
 “Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the aggregate Commitments have terminated and (b) all Obligations have been paid in full (other than
(x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Swap Contracts as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Secured Party have been made). 
 “Secured Swap Contract” means any Swap Contract required or permitted under Article III or Article VI of the Credit Agreement that is
entered into between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any Secured Party. 
 2. Payment. If the Borrower shall default in
payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, fees (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable
grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon
demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to any restriction on each Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to
all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing. 
 3. Absolute Rights and Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not
of collection. The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its
obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and all Security Instruments to which it is a party by reason of: 
 (a) any lack of
legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the 
  

 2 








 Guarantors’ Obligations, any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the
Guaranteed Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”); 
 (b) 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; 
 (c) any acceleration of
the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements; 
 (d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of
the Guaranteed Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements; 
 (e) any dissolution of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of the
Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement; 
 (f) 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, the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in
part; 
 (g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other
guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor and obligations arising under any other Guaranty now or hereafter in effect); 
 (h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in
the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other
Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement; 
 (i) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary 
  

 3 








 the risks of such Guarantor, 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 the Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantors’
Obligations. 
 It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder and
under each Joinder Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided. 
 4. Currency and Funds of Payment. All Guarantors’ Obligations will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or
decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto as against the Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or
manner of payment by the Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities. 
 5. Events of Default. Without limiting the
provisions of Section 2 hereof, in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities, at the Administrative
Agent’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantors’ Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable. 
 6. Subordination. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts,
liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (a) of the Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities, (b) of every other Guarantor (an “obligated guarantor”), to the payment in full of the
Guarantors’ Obligations of such obligated guarantor, and (c) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Secured Party and arising under the
Loan Documents or any Secured Swap Contract. All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the
Administrative Agent, paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Guarantors’ Obligations, or such other obligations, as applicable, and, after such
request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of such Guarantor. 
 7. Suits. Each Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand, at the
Administrative Agent’s office or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to such Guarantor, the Guarantors’ Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith,
the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the Guarantors. At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against any
one or more or all of the Guarantors, whether or not suit has been commenced against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, 
  

 4 








 or any other Person and whether or not the Secured Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all
or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or
condition described in Section 3 hereof. 
 8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor acknowledges the right of set-off
granted pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement and waives any right to assert against any Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal
or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the Borrower or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to
such Guarantor. 
 9. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this
Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter, making Loans and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or otherwise
entering into arrangements with any Loan Party giving rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or
replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof. Each Guarantor agrees that each
Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect
impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences. 
 (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Guarantor of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty
Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon demand by the Administrative Agent to such Guarantor without the Administrative Agent being required, such Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent
permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE

  

 5 








 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF
THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. 
 (c) Each Guarantor further
agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following
the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in
respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation,
reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall
be paid to any Guarantor on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement or otherwise as the Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not
limited to termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date. 
 10.
Effectiveness; Enforceability. This Guaranty Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect until termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof. Any claim or
claims that the Secured Parties may at any time hereafter have against a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties by written notice directed to such Guarantor in accordance
with Section 23 hereof. 
 11. Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Agreement regarding Interest. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Credit Agreement by the Borrower with respect to such
Guarantor. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit
Agreement to be performed by it or them or that the Borrower has agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform. 
  

 6 








 (b) Each Guarantor agrees that any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to the Loan
Documents may bear interest in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement. 
 12. Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees
to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, incurred by any Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty Agreement, whether or not suit be
brought. 
 13. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, at any time payment received by any Secured Party in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored for any reason, or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith
settlement of any pending or threatened avoidance claim. 
 14. Reliance. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: (a) such Guarantor has adequate means to obtain on a continuing basis (i) from the Borrower, information concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan Parties’ financial
condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and any Joinder Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete
access to the Loan Parties’ books and records and to such Other Information; (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, to provide any such
information, now or in the future; (c) such Guarantor has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents and Related Agreements as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement (or the
Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable) freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement); (d) such Guarantor has relied
solely on the Guarantor’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of the Borrower, the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs, the Other Information, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this
Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement) and is fully aware of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any
information whatsoever concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement), or for any
counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise therefor with respect to such decision. Each Guarantor agrees that no Secured Party has any duty or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to such Guarantor any
information concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if such Guarantor receives any such information from any Secured Party or its or
their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, such Guarantor will independently verify the information and will not rely on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or
Affiliates, with respect to such information.

 15. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.3 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any extension of
credit referred to herein or guaranteed hereby. 
 16. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement,
together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings,
inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. Except
as provided in Section 21, neither this Guaranty Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or
in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 17. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Guaranty Agreement,
each Joinder Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns;
provided, however, that no Guarantor shall be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Guaranty Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any other interest herein or therein without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 17, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of
its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article VIII thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 9.3 thereof
concerning assignments and participations. All references herein to the Administrative Agent shall include any successor thereof. 
 18.
Secured Swap Contracts. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder
(including the release, impairment or modification of any Guarantors’ Obligations or security therefor) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under
Secured Swap Contracts to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Secured Party. Each Secured Party not a party to the
Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that 
  

 8 








 with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or
may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article VIII of the Credit Agreement. 
 19. Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty Agreement are independent of and separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall
for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable
provision had never been contained herein. 
 20. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Guarantors
against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 20, the provisions of Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement. 
 21. Termination. Subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 13 hereof, this Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement,
and all of the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder (excluding those Guarantors’ obligations relating to Guaranteed Liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date. 
 22. Remedies Cumulative. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party provided by law or under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or other applicable agreements or instruments. The making of the Loans and other credit extensions pursuant to the Credit Agreement and other
Related Agreements shall be conclusively presumed to have been made or extended, respectively, in reliance upon each Guarantor’s guaranty of the Guaranteed Liabilities pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 23. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder or under any Joinder Agreement shall be given, (a) with respect to each
Guarantor, at the address of the Borrower indicated in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in
Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. All such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of notices and
modifications of addresses thereunder. 
 24. Joinder. Each Person that shall at any time execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder as a Guarantor, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Guarantors or to the
parties to this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Guarantor hereunder.

METHOD OF SERVICE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (d) NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS
(b) or (c) HEREOF SHALL PRECLUDE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION WHERE ANY GUARANTOR OR ANY OF SUCH GUARANTOR’S PROPERTY OR ASSETS MAY BE FOUND OR LOCATED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY SUCH JURISDICTION, EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF
ANY SUCH COURT AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES, IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OBJECTION TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER IT AND ITS PROPERTY BY ANY SUCH OTHER COURT OR COURTS WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER MAY BE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE

MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. 
 (f) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY
HAVE THAT ANY COURT TO WHOSE JURISDICTION IT HAS SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 EXHIBIT 1.1E 
 FORM OF SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE COLLATERAL DESCRIBED HEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO THAT
CERTAIN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2008, AMONG BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND EACH OTHER LENDER PARTY THERETO FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE OF ANY PARTY HERETO SHALL BE BOUND BY SUCH
INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS FULLY AS IF SUCH SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE WERE A PARTY THERETO. 
 SECURITY AGREEMENT 
 THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of October 29, 2008 (this “Security Agreement”) is being entered into among Asbury
Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED SUBSIDIARIES OF THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a
“Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Grantors”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of
the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below). 
 RECITALS: 
 A. Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto (from time to time, collectively, the “Lenders”), the Lenders have agreed to provide to the Borrower a revolving credit
facility. 
 B. Certain additional extensions of credit may be made from time to time for the benefit of the Grantors pursuant to
certain Secured Swap Contracts (as hereinafter defined). 
 C. Each Grantor will materially benefit from the Loans to be made under the
Credit Agreement, and such other extensions of credit, and each Grantor (other than the Borrower) is a party (as signatory or by joinder) to the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Grantor guarantees the Obligations of the Borrower.

 D. It is a condition precedent to the Secured Parties’ obligations to make and maintain such extensions of credit that the Grantors
shall have executed and delivered this Security Agreement to the Administrative Agent. 
 In order to induce the Secured Parties to make and
maintain extensions of credit from time to time under the Credit Agreement and such Secured Swap Contracts, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Certain Definitions. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. Terms used in this Security Agreement that are not otherwise expressly

 “Secured Obligations” means (a) as to the Borrower, all of the Obligations, including, the payment and performance of its
obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or hereafter arising) under (i) the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (including this Security Agreement) to which it is now or hereafter becomes a party, and (ii) any
Secured Swap Contracts to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is now or hereafter becomes a party, and (b) as to each Guarantor, the payment and performance of its obligations and liabilities (whether now existing or hereafter arising) under

Credit Agreement that is entered into between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any Secured Party. 
 2. Grant of Security
Interest. Each Grantor grants as collateral security for the payment, performance and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a continuing first priority security interest
(subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) in and to, and collaterally assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of the following property of such Grantor or in which such Grantor has or may have or
acquire an interest or the power to transfer rights therein, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located: 
 (a) All used vehicle inventory (excluding Heavy Trucks) in which such Grantor now or at any time hereafter may have an interest, whether
or not the same is in transit or in the constructive, actual or exclusive occupancy or possession of such Grantor or is held by such Grantor or by others for such Grantor’s account (all of the foregoing, collectively referred to hereinafter as
“Used Vehicle Inventory”); and 
 (b) All proceeds, products and replacements of, accessions to, and
substitutions for, Used Vehicle Inventory, including without limitation proceeds of insurance policies insuring Used Vehicle Inventory.

 3. Perfection. As of the date of execution of this Security Agreement or a Joinder
Agreement by each Grantor, as applicable (with respect to each Grantor, its “Applicable Date”), such Grantor shall have: 
 (a) to the extent expressly required by the terms hereof or of the Credit Agreement, or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may request in accordance with the terms hereof, furnished the Administrative Agent with
properly executed control or acknowledgment agreements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent with respect to Letter of Credit Rights or tangible personal property Collateral in the possession, custody or control of
any warehouseman or other bailee (each such an agreement, a “Qualifying Control Agreement”), issuer acknowledgments of the Administrative Agent’s interest in Letter-of-Credit Rights, and evidence of the placement of a
restrictive legend on tangible Chattel Paper (and the tangible components of electronic Chattel Paper), and taken appropriate action acceptable to the Administrative Agent sufficient to establish the Administrative Agent’s control of electronic
Chattel Paper (and the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), as appropriate, with respect to Collateral in which either (i) a security interest can be perfected only by control or such restrictive legending, or (ii) a security
interest perfected by control or accompanied by such restrictive legending shall have priority as against a lien creditor, a purchaser of such Collateral from the applicable Grantor, or a security interest perfected by Persons not having control or
not accompanied by such restrictive legending, in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and sufficient under applicable law so that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a
security interest in all such Collateral perfected by control; and 
 (b) to the extent expressly required by the terms hereof
or of the Credit Agreement, or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may request, delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the Administrative Agent shall specifically consent in each instance, an agent or bailee of the Administrative Agent that
has acknowledged such status in a properly executed Qualifying Control Agreement possession of all Collateral with respect to which either a security interest can be perfected only by possession or a security interest perfected by possession shall
have priority as against Persons not having possession, and including in the case of Instruments and Documents, duly executed endorsements affixed thereto in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and sufficient under applicable
law so that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a security interest in all such Collateral perfected by possession; 
 with the effect that the Liens conferred in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be and remain duly perfected and of first priority subject only, to the extent applicable, to Permitted Liens. All financing statements (including all
amendments thereto and continuations thereof), control agreements, certificates, acknowledgments, stock powers and other documents, electronic 

  

 3 








 
identification, restrictive legends, and instruments furnished in connection with the creation, enforcement, protection, perfection or priority of the
Administrative Agent’s security interest in Collateral, including such items as are described above in this Section 3, are sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Documents”. The delivery of possession of items
of or evidencing Collateral, causing other Persons to execute and deliver Perfection Documents as appropriate, the filing or recordation of Perfection Documents, the establishment of control over items of Collateral, and the taking of such other
actions as may be necessary or advisable in the determination of the Administrative Agent to create, enforce, protect, perfect, or establish or maintain the priority of, the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties in the Collateral is sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Action”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Perfection Documents and Perfection Actions shall only be required to the extent the items described in
this Section 3 constitute proceeds of Used Vehicle Inventory. 
 4. Maintenance of Security Interest; Further
Assurances. 
 (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to file (with, or to the extent
permitted by applicable law, without the signature of the Grantor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and initial financing statements in lieu of continuation statements) or other Perfection Documents (including
copies thereof) showing such Grantor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated. 
 (b) With respect to any and all Collateral, each Grantor agrees to do and cause to be done all things necessary to perfect, maintain the priority of and keep in full force the security interest granted in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment upon demand therefor by the Administrative Agent of all fees and expenses (including documentary stamp, excise or intangibles taxes) incurred in connection
with the preparation, delivery, or filing of any Perfection Document or the taking of any Perfection Action to perfect, protect or enforce a security interest in Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
subject only to Permitted Liens. All amounts not so paid when due shall constitute additional Secured Obligations. 
 (c) Each
Grantor agrees that, in the event any proceeds (other than goods) of Collateral shall be or become commingled with other property not constituting Collateral, then such proceeds may, to the extent permitted by law, be identified by application of
the lowest intermediate balance rule to such commingled property. 
 5. Preservation and Protection of Collateral. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the
Collateral, or otherwise. Each Grantor 

  

 4 








 
shall be responsible for the safekeeping of its Collateral, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have any responsibility for (i) any loss or
damage thereto or destruction thereof occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (ii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iii) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee or forwarding agency thereof or
other Person in any way dealing with or handling such Collateral. 
 (b) Upon the failure of any Grantor to pay or contest
taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause Liens to be terminated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent at its option may (following 10 days written notice to the applicable Grantor in the event no Event of Default is then
occurring, and in the event an Event of Default is then occurring, at any time) pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to
discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including all fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and
other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral. 
 6. Status of Grantors and Collateral Generally. Each Grantor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to itself and the Collateral as to which it has or acquires any interest, that: 
 (a) It is at its Applicable Date (or as to Collateral acquired after its Applicable Date will be upon the acquisition of the same) and, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and subsection (b) of this Section 6, will
continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof against all claims and demands of all
Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) to the extent of their claims permitted under the Credit Agreement at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured Parties. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so defend,
the Administrative Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related
thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral. 
 (b) No Grantor shall engage in any consignment transaction in respect of any of the Collateral, whether as consignee or consignor;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Motor Vehicle auctions shall not be considered consignment transactions for the purpose of this Section 6(b). 
 (c) No Grantor shall cause, suffer or permit any of the tangible personal property Collateral (i) to be evidenced by any document of
title (except for shipping documents as necessary or customary to effect the receipt of such Collateral or the 

  

 5 








 
delivery of such Collateral to such Grantor or to customers, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and motor vehicle certificates of title) or
(ii) to be in the possession, custody or control of any warehouseman or other bailee unless (x) (i) such location and Person are set forth on Schedule 3.19 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) the aggregate value of Collateral
(excluding all Heavy Trucks) at such location is less than $1,000,000 or (y) the Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed Qualifying Control Agreement from such warehouseman or bailee, and the Grantor shall have caused at its
expense to be prepared and executed such additional Perfection Documents and to be taken such other Perfection Action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement.

 7. Inspection. In addition to any inspection rights set forth in Section 5.8 of the Credit Agreement, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent (by any of its officers, employees and agents), on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to discuss any Grantor’s affairs and finances with any Person obligated on
any of such Grantor’s Accounts that constitute proceeds of Used Vehicle Inventory (“Account Debtors”) and to verify the amount, quality, value and condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral with such Account
Debtors. Upon or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on such Grantor’s premises a custodian selected by the Administrative
Agent who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interest. All expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, by reason
of the employment of such custodian shall be paid by such Grantor on demand from time to time and shall be added to the Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.  
 8. Specific Collateral. 
 (a) Accounts. With respect to its Accounts whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties that: 
 (i) Each Grantor shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts
(“Account Records”) and from time to time, at the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall provide the Administrative Agent with a schedule of Accounts in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent
describing all Accounts created or acquired by such Grantor (“Schedule of Accounts”); provided, however, that such Grantor’s failure to execute and deliver any such Schedule of Accounts shall not affect or limit
the Administrative Agent’s security interest or other rights in and to any Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with copies of proof of
delivery and other documents relating to the Accounts so scheduled, including without limitation repayment histories and present status reports (collectively, “Account Documents”) and such other matter and information relating to
the status of then existing Accounts as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
  

 6 








 (ii) The amounts of the face value of any Account shown or reflected on any Schedule of
Accounts, invoice statement, or certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent, are actually owing to such Grantor and are not contingent for any reason; and there are no setoffs, discounts, allowances, claims, counterclaims or disputes of any
kind or description in an amount greater than $1,000,000 in the aggregate, or greater than $250,000 individually, existing or asserted with respect thereto and such Grantor has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor thereunder for any
deduction therefrom, except as may be stated in the Schedule of Accounts and reflected in the calculation of the face value of each respective invoice related thereto. 
 (iii) In the event any amounts due and owing in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate amount, are in dispute between any Account Debtor
and a Grantor (which shall include without limitation any dispute in which an offset claim or counterclaim may result), such Grantor shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice thereof as soon as practicable, explaining in detail the
reason for the dispute, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. 
 (b) Used Vehicle Inventory.
With respect to its Used Vehicle Inventory whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that each
Grantor shall (i) keep accurate and complete records itemizing and describing each used Motor Vehicle (other than Heavy Trucks), including the year, make, model, cost, price, location, vehicle identification number and date acquired, and
(ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time, at the Administrative Agent’s request, a current schedule of Used Vehicle Inventory based upon its most recent physical inventory and its inventory records. Each Grantor shall
conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually, and shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such other documents and reports thereof as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request with respect to the Used Vehicle Inventory.

 (d) Supporting Obligations. With respect to its Supporting Obligations whether now existing or hereafter
created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that: 
 (i) Such Grantor shall (i) maintain at all times, and furnish to the Administrative Agent on or about the respective dates
established in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement for the delivery of financial statements, and otherwise from time to time at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, a current list identifying in reasonable
detail each Supporting Obligation relating to any Collateral from a single obligor in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, deliver to the Administrative Agent the originals of all documents evidencing or constituting 

  

 7 








 
Supporting Obligations, together with such other documentation (executed as appropriate by the Grantor) and information as may be necessary to enable the
Administrative Agent to realize upon the Supporting Obligations in accordance with their respective terms or transfer the Supporting Obligations as may be permitted under the Loan Documents or by applicable law. 
 (ii) With respect to each letter of credit giving rise to Letter-of-Credit Rights that has an aggregate stated amount available to be
drawn in excess of $1,000,000, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent cause the issuer thereof to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a
Qualifying Control Agreement. 
 (iii) With respect to each transferable letter of credit giving rise to Letter-of-Credit
Rights that has an aggregate stated amount available to be drawn in excess of $1,000,000, each Grantor shall, at the Administrative Agent’s request upon and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, deliver to the
Administrative Agent a duly executed, undated transfer form in blank sufficient in form and substance under the terms of the related letter of credit to effect, upon completion and delivery to the letter of credit issuer together with any required
fee, the transfer of such letter of credit to the transferee identified in such form. Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default to complete and
tender each such transfer form as transferor in its own name or in the name, place and stead of the Grantor in order to effect any such transfer, either to the Administrative Agent or to another transferee, as the case may be, in connection with any
sale or other disposition of Collateral or for any other purpose permitted under the Loan Documents or by applicable law. 
 (e) Chattel Paper. With respect to its Chattel Paper whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties that: 
 (i) Such Grantor shall at all times retain sole physical possession of the originals of all
Chattel Paper (other than electronic Chattel Paper and the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper); provided, however, that (x) upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, such Grantor shall immediately
deliver physical possession of such Chattel Paper to the Administrative Agent or its designee, and (y) in the event that there shall be created more than one original counterpart of any physical document that alone or in conjunction with any
other physical or electronic document constitutes Chattel Paper, then such counterparts shall be numbered consecutively starting with “1” and such Grantor shall retain the counterpart numbered “1”. 
 (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly and conspicuously legend all
tangible 

  

 8 








 
Chattel Paper as follows: “A FIRST PRIORITY SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS CHATTEL PAPER HAS BEEN GRANTED TO JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., FOR ITSELF AND AS
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR CERTAIN SECURED PARTIES PURSUANT TO A SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF OCTOBER 29, 2008, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. NO SECURITY INTEREST OR OTHER INTEREST IN FAVOR OF ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE CREATED BY THE TRANSFER OF
PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THIS CHATTEL PAPER OR OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF EXCEPT BY OR WITH THE CONSENT OF THE AFORESAID ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROVIDED IN SUCH SECURITY AGREEMENT.” Upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of
Default, such Grantor shall not create or acquire any electronic Chattel Paper (including the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), unless, prior to such acquisition or creation, it shall have taken such Perfection Action as the
Administrative Agent may require to perfect by control the security interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Collateral. 
 (f) Instruments. With respect to its Instruments whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever
located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that such Grantor shall (i) maintain at all times, and furnish to the Administrative Agent on or about the respective
dates established in Sections 5.5(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement for the delivery of financial statements, and otherwise from time to time at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, a current list identifying in reasonable
detail Instruments of which such Grantor is the payee or holder and having a face amount payable in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, deliver to the Administrative Agent the originals of all such Instruments, together with duly executed undated endorsements in blank affixed thereto and such other documentation and information as may be necessary to enable the
Administrative Agent to realize upon the Instruments in accordance with their respective terms or transfer the Instruments as may be permitted under the Loan Documents or by applicable law. 
 (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 8 shall only be
applicable to Accounts, Supporting Obligations, Chattel Paper and Instruments that constitute proceeds of Used Vehicle Inventory. 
 9.
Casualty and Liability Insurance Required. 
 (a) Each Grantor will keep the Collateral continuously insured
against such risks as are customarily insured against by businesses of like size and type engaged in the same or similar operations including: 
 (i) property insurance on the Used Vehicle Inventory in an amount not less than the full insurable value thereof, against loss or damage by theft, fire, lightning, hail, wind, flooding and other hazards ordinarily
included under standard extended coverage policies; 
  

 9 








 (ii) false pretense insurance; 
 (iii) garage liability and comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring
with or about such Collateral (such coverage to include provisions waiving subrogation against the Secured Parties), with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds thereunder; 
 (iv) workers’ compensation insurance with respect to the operation of its facilities under the workers’ compensation laws of the
states in within such Collateral is located; and 
 (v) business interruption insurance; 
 provided that, the amount and scope of the aforementioned coverages shall not be materially reduced and the deductibles shall not be materially increased,
unless the Administrative Agent is reasonably satisfied with such reduction or increase, as applicable. 
 (b) Each insurance
policy obtained in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9(a): 
 (i) may be provided by blanket policies
now or hereafter maintained by each or any Grantor or by the Borrower; 
 (ii) shall be issued by such insurer (or insurers)
in effect on the Effective Date, or such other insurer (or insurers) as shall be financially responsible, of recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; 
 (iii) shall be in such form and have such provisions (including without limitation the loss payable clause, the waiver of subrogation
clause, the deductible amount, if any, and the standard mortgagee endorsement clause) as are generally considered standard provisions for the type of insurance involved unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent; 
 (iv) shall prohibit cancellation or substantial modification, termination or lapse in coverage by the insurer without at least thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, except for non-payment of premium, as to which such policies shall provide for at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; 
  

 10 








 (v) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where
applicable under Section 9(a)(i) carried on the Collateral shall name the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and the Administrative Agent and Lenders as parties insured thereunder in respect of
any claim for payment. 
 (c) Prior to expiration of any such policy, such Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with
evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the policy or certificate has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Security Agreement. 
 (d) With respect to each claim in the amount of $500,000, each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims
under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such
policies of insurance, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the powers pursuant to such appointment shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default. 
 (e) In the event such Grantor shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance
coverage required hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may contract for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any required repairs, renewals and replacements in accordance with
Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement; and all sums so disbursed by Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to
the Administrative Agent, shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral. 
 (f) The Net Proceeds of the
insurance carried pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii) shall be applied by such Grantor toward satisfaction of the claim or liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds may be paid, provided that, if
such Grantor has satisfied such claim or liability prior to receiving such proceeds, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse such Grantor. 
 (g) At all times during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive direct and immediate payment of the proceeds of insurance maintained
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9(a)(i) and such Grantor shall take all action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to accomplish such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Grantor shall receive
any such proceeds, such Grantor shall immediately deliver such 

  

 11 








 
proceeds to such Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional Collateral, and pending such delivery shall hold such proceeds in
trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and keep the same segregated from its other funds. 
 (h) “Net
Proceeds” when used with respect to any insurance proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds from such proceeds, award or other amount, less all taxes, fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred in the realization
thereof. 
 (i) Subject to Section 9(d), each Grantor is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise
any loss under any such insurance other than losses relating to claims made directly against any Secured Party as to which the insurance described in Section 9(a)(ii) or (iii) is applicable. 
 10. Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent shall have the following rights and remedies on behalf of the Secured Parties in addition to any rights and remedies set forth elsewhere in this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which may be exercised with or, if allowed
by law, without notice to a Grantor: 
 (a) All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under other
applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive, to the extent permitted by law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document;

 (b) The right to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Security Agreement by any available judicial

without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor notice or opportunity for a hearing on the validity of the Administrative Agent’s claim and without any obligation to pay rent to such Grantor, or any
other place or places where any Collateral is located and kept, and remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Administrative Agent or any agent of the Administrative Agent, for such time as the Administrative Agent may desire, in order
effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, (ii) require such Grantor or any bailee or other agent of such Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the
Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (iii) notify any or all Persons party to a Qualifying Control Agreement or who otherwise have possession of or control over any Collateral of the occurrence of an Event of
Default and other appropriate circumstances, and exercise control over and take possession or custody of any or all Collateral in the possession, custody or control of such other Persons; 
 (d) The right to (i) exercise all of a Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper,

other arrangements as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, deems necessary to receive such Grantor’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to

Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Administrative Agent has a security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Administrative Agent may at any time give such notice to an Account Debtor that is a
department, agency or authority of the United States government); each Grantor hereby agrees that any such notice, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may (but need not) be sent on such Grantor’s stationery, in which event such
Grantor shall co-sign such notice with the Administrative Agent if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to collect

Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use a Grantor’s premises without charge
for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of such
postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against
prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. The Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is hereby granted an irrevocable fully paid license or other right (including each Grantor’s 

  

 13 








 
rights under any license or any franchise agreement), each of which shall remain in full force and effect until the Facility Termination Date, to use,
without charge, each of the labels, patents, copyrights, names, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature owned or licensed by any Grantor other than Excluded Property, as it pertains to the
Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral. If any of the Collateral shall require repairs, maintenance, preparation or the like, or is in process or other unfinished state, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to perform such repairs, maintenance, preparation, processing or completion of manufacturing for the purpose of putting the same in such saleable form as the Administrative Agent shall deem
appropriate, but the Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Collateral without such processing and no Grantor shall have any claim against the Administrative Agent for the value that may have been added to such
Collateral with such processing. In addition, each Grantor agrees that in the event notice is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to such Grantor in the manner specified herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of
any of the Collateral or prior to the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be made shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to such Grantor. All notice is hereby waived with respect to any of the
Collateral which threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, free from any
right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived by such Grantor and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations. 
 The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses
(including all fees and expenses of counsel) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of
Section 7.3 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency
which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral. 
 11. Attorney-in-Fact. Each
Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power

  

 14 








 (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 
 (b) to receive, endorse and
collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above; 
 (c) to
endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to or constituting proceeds of the Collateral which comes into the Administrative Agent’s possession or the Administrative Agent’s control, and
deposit the same to the account of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on account and for payment of the Secured Obligations. 
 (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to any of the Collateral; and 
 (e) to
execute, in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral provided for herein, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect thereto. 
 12. Reinstatement. The granting of a security interest in the Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a
pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The provisions of this Section 12 shall
survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Security Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date. 
 13. Certain Waivers by the Grantors. Each Grantor waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any
Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person, including without limitation any Loan Party, (y) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or
(z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity,
(c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right to
participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Grantor authorizes each Secured Party and each other obligee of the Secured Obligations without
notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold security, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment
of 

  

 15 








 
such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other
security; and (ii) apply such Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may determine. 
 The Administrative Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the
receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor. 
 14. Continued Powers. Until the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies
granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default
irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased. 
 15. Other Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Security
Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forbearance or failure or delay by the
Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further
exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. 
 16. Anti-Marshaling Provisions. The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Collateral agreeable to the Administrative Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors,
which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations.
Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Collateral held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the
Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Agreement. Each Grantor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or
provided herein or in any other Loan Document. 
 17. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement,
together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and 

  

 16 








 
supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written. The express
terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof or thereof. Neither this Security Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or
provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement. 
 18. Third Party Reliance. Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all issuers of or obligors in respect of any Collateral, and all
securities intermediaries, warehousemen, bailees, public officials and other Persons having any interest in, possession of, control over or right, privilege, duty or discretion in respect of, any Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions
hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice
or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any of such Persons. 
 19. Binding
Agreement; Assignment. This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors
and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Security Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or, except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement, in the Collateral or any part
thereof or interest therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 19, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its
rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested
with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article VIII thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 9.3 thereof
(concerning assignments and participations). All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

 20. Secured Swap Contracts. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Security
Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a
Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that
other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Swap Contracts to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting
documentation as it may request, from the applicable Secured Party. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment 

  

 17 








 
of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent
hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article VIII of the Credit
Agreement. 
 21. Severability. The provisions of this Security Agreement are independent of and separable from each other. If
any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Security Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 22. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart
executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, the provisions of Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement.

 23. Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement,
and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facility Termination
Date. Upon such termination of this Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors such termination statements and take such further actions as the Grantors may
reasonably request to terminate of record, or otherwise to give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder. 
 24. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to the Borrower or any other Grantor, at the address for the giving of notice to the Borrower then in effect under the Credit
Agreement, and (b) with respect to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement. All such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given
and shall be effective, as provided in Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, for the giving and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder. 
 25. Joinder. Each Person that shall at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and
obligated hereunder as a Grantor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Collateral in which it
has at its Applicable Date or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Grantors or to the parties to this Security Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as
a Grantor hereunder. Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Schedules to the Credit Agreement referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property.

  

 18 








 26. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.3 of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any Loans
referred to herein or secured hereby.

SHALL BE GIVEN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH MATTERS. 
 (b) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY SECURITY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE
COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR A JOINDER AGREEMENT, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OR TO
THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 
 (c) EACH GRANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY PERSONAL SERVICE OF A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND 

  

 19

JURISDICTION, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES, IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OTHER COURT OR COURTS WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER, BY REASON OF
ITS PRESENT OR FUTURE DOMICILE, OR OTHERWISE, MAY BE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 
 (e) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING,
EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PERSON
MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. 
 (f) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE THAT ANY COURT TO WHOSE JURISDICTION IT HAS SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 EXHIBIT 2.19(b) 
 FORM OF NEW LENDER AGREEMENT 
 Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of
October 29, 2008, (as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (“Borrower”), the Lenders named therein and JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with the copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.5 thereof and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this New Lender Agreement; (c) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (d) confirms that it is a New Lender under the Credit Agreement, as defined therein; (e) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take
such action as an agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (f) agrees that it will perform in
accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; (g) agrees that it will keep confidential all information with respect to the Borrower furnished to it
by the Borrower or the other Lenders (other than information generally available to the public or otherwise available to the New Lender on a non-confidential basis); and (h) confirms that it has delivered a completed Commitment Increase
Agreement to the Agent. 
 2. The effective date for this New Lender Agreement shall be
            , 200     (the “New Lender Agreement Date”). As of the New Lender Agreement Date, the New Lender’s Commitment is
$            . Upon its execution, this New Lender Agreement will be delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and listing in the Register by the Agent. 
 3. Upon such acceptance and listing in the Register, from and after the New Lender Agreement Date, the New Lender shall become (i) a Lender for all
purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party to the Credit Agreement and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and (ii) a Used Vehicle Facility Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if
originally a party to the Intercreditor Agreement and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of the Intercreditor Agreement. The New Lender hereby acknowledges that the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral described
therein are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and that the Agent is the Used Vehicle Facility Agent referred to in the Intercreditor Agreement. 







 4. Upon such acceptance and recording, from and after the New Lender Agreement Date, the Agent shall make
all payments in respect of the interest accepted hereby (including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to the New Lender. 
 5. This New Lender Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. 
 6. This New Lender Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York.
