No Grantor shall permit any such items having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 to become a fixture to real property (unless such Grantor has granted the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties a Lien on such real property having a priority acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Grantor has excluded such fixtures from the Revolving Borrowing Base) or accessions to other personal property.

 

(c)Each Grantor agrees (i) to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges and assessments against the Collateral in which it has any interest, unless being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the application of GAAP in the Audited Financial Statements and evidenced to the satisfaction of the Revolving Administrative Agent and provided that all enforcement proceedings in the nature of levy or foreclosure are effectively stayed, and (ii) to cause to be terminated and released all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the Collateral.  Upon the failure of any Grantor to so pay or contest such taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause such Liens to be terminated, the Revolving Administrative Agent at its option may pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent, including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”), court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

 

7.Status of Grantors and Collateral Generally.  Each Grantor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Revolving 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 both Credit Agreements and subsection (b) of this Section 7, will continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than the security interest hereunder in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and 

14

 

58128579

 




 

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 both Credit Agreements 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 Revolving Administrative Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so.  All sums so disbursed by the Revolving Administrative Agent, including reasonable Attorney Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate. 

 

(b)It shall not (i) sell, assign, transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, except for Dispositions permitted under both Credit Agreements, (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral except for the security interests created by this Security Agreement and Permitted Liens, or (iii) take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral that would materially impair the value of the interest or rights of such Grantor in the Collateral taken as a whole or that would materially impair the interest or rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

 

(c)It has full power, legal right and lawful authority to enter into this Security Agreement (and any Revolving Joinder Agreement or Floorplan Joinder Agreement applicable to it) and to perform its terms, including the grant of the security interests in the Collateral herein provided for.

 

(d)No authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person which has not been given or obtained, as the case may be, is required either (i) for the grant by such Grantor of the security interests granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement (or any Revolving Joinder Agreement or Floorplan Joinder Agreement) by such Grantor, or (ii) for the perfection of or the exercise by the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for action required by the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect and exercise remedies with respect to the security interest conferred hereunder.

 

(e)No effective financing statement or other Perfection Document similar in effect, nor any other Perfection Action, covering all or any part of the Collateral purported to be granted or taken by or on behalf of such Grantor (or by or on behalf of any other Person and which remains effective as against all or any part of the Collateral) has been filed in any recording office, delivered to another Person for filing (whether upon the occurrence of a contingency or otherwise), or otherwise taken, as the case may be, except such as pertain to Permitted Liens and such as may have been filed for the benefit of, delivered to, or taken in favor of, the Revolving Administrative Agent for the 

15

Upon or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Revolving Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on such Grantor’s premises a custodian selected by the Revolving Administrative Agent who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Revolving Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) interest.  All expenses incurred by the Revolving 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, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

(i)Such Grantor shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts (“Account Records”) and from time to time, at the Revolving Administrative Agent’s request, the Company shall provide the Revolving Administrative Agent with a schedule of Accounts in excess of $1,000,000 in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent describing all Accounts created or acquired by all Grantors (“Schedule of Accounts”); provided, however, that the Company’s failure to execute and deliver any such Schedule of Accounts shall not affect or limit the Revolving Administrative Agent’s security interest or other rights in and to any Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  If requested by the Revolving Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall furnish the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall request.

 

(ii) All Account Records and Account Documents are and shall at all times be located only at such Grantor’s current chief executive office as set forth on Schedule 7(f) attached hereto, such other locations as are specifically identified on Schedule 7(f) attached hereto as an “Account Documents location,” or as to which the Grantor has complied with Section 7(f) hereof.



(iii)The Accounts are genuine, are in all respects what they purport to be, are not evidenced by an instrument or document or, if evidenced by an instrument or document, are only evidenced by one original instrument or document.

 

(iv)The Accounts cover bona fide sales and deliveries of Inventory or sales, leases, licenses or other dispositions of property usually dealt in by such Grantor, or the rendition by such Grantor of services, to an Account Debtor in the ordinary course of business.

 

(v)The amounts of the face value of any Account shown or reflected on any Schedule of Accounts, invoice statement, or certificate delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent, are actually owing to the applicable 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 for all the Grantors, or greater than $250,000 per

(vi)Except for conditions generally applicable to such Grantor’s industry and markets, there are no facts, events, or occurrences known to such Grantor pertaining particularly to any Accounts which are reasonably expected to materially impair in any way the validity, collectibility or enforcement of Accounts that would reasonably be likely, in the aggregate, to be of material economic value, or in the aggregate materially reduce the amount payable thereunder from the amount of the invoice face value shown on any Schedule of Accounts, or on any certificate, contract, invoice or statement delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent with respect thereto.

 

(vii)The property or services giving rise thereto are not, and were not at the time of the sale or performance thereof, subject to any Lien, claim, encumbrance or security interest, except those of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties and Permitted Liens.

 

(viii)In the event any amounts due and owing in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, 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 Revolving 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.

(iv)If any Account Debtor returns any Inventory to a Grantor after shipment thereof, and such return generates a credit in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate on any Accounts of such Account Debtor, such Grantor shall notify the Revolving Administrative Agent in writing of the same as soon as practicable.  

 

(c)Equipment.  With respect to its Equipment whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that:

(ii)Such Grantor shall maintain accurate, itemized records describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and value of its Equipment and shall furnish the Revolving Administrative Agent upon request during the continuance of an Event of Default with a current schedule containing the foregoing information, but, other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, not more often than once per fiscal quarter.

Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes the Revolving 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 Revolving 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.

(ii)Except with the express prior written consent of the Revolving Administrative Agent in each instance, all Investment Property other than interests in Subsidiaries in which such Grantor has granted a Lien to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties pursuant to the Pledge Agreement shall be maintained at all times in the form of (a) certificated securities, which certificates shall have been delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent together with duly executed undated stock powers endorsed in blank pertaining thereto (provided that, with respect to Unrestricted Subsidiaries, such certificates and stock powers shall not be required to be so delivered unless requested by the Revolving Administrative Agent from time to time in its sole discretion) or (b) security entitlements credited to one or more securities accounts as to each of which the Revolving Administrative Agent has received (1) copies of the account agreement between the applicable securities intermediary and the Grantor and the most recent statement of account pertaining to such securities account (each certified to be true and correct by an officer of the Grantor) and (2) upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent, a Qualifying Control Agreement from the applicable securities intermediary which remains in full force and effect and as to which the Revolving Administrative Agent has not received any notice of termination.

22

 

58128579

 




 

 

(iv)So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the registration of Investment Property in the name of a Grantor as record and beneficial owner shall not be changed and such Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to Investment Property for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms hereof or of any Qualifying Control Agreement relating thereto. 

 

(v)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, at the option of the Revolving Administrative Agent, all rights of the Grantors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to clause (iv) immediately above shall cease and the Revolving Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Revolving Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Grantor hereby appoints the Revolving Administrative Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Investment Property upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Facilities Termination Date, and each Grantor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Revolving Administrative Agent may request; provided, however, that the Revolving Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.

(f)Deposit Accounts.  With respect to its Deposit Accounts whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, in the discretion and upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent, all Deposit Accounts in which collected balances or deposits in excess of $500,000 are or are reasonably expected by the Company at any time to be credited or maintained shall be maintained at all times with depositary institutions as to 

23

 

58128579

 




 

which the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties shall have received a Qualifying Control Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Grantor shall cause, suffer or permit (x) any deposit in excess of $500,000 to be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, or (y) any Deposit Account opened after the Closing Date in which collected balances or deposits in excess of $500,000 are or are reasonably expected by the Company at any time to be credited or maintained to be opened or maintained, except in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), (A) upon giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent and (B) taking or causing to be taken at such Grantor’s expense all such Perfection Action, including the delivery of such Perfection Documents, as may be requested by the Revolving Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties to perfect or protect, or maintain the perfection and priority of, the Lien of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties in Collateral contemplated hereunder.

(ii)At the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly and conspicuously legend all counterparts of all tangible Chattel Paper as follows: “A SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS CHATTEL PAPER HAS BEEN GRANTED TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., FOR ITSELF AND AS REVOLVING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR CERTAIN SECURED

(iii)Other than in the ordinary course of business and in keeping with reasonable and customary practice, no Grantor shall amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of, or fail to exercise promptly and diligently each material right or remedy conferred under or in connection with, any Chattel Paper, in any case in such a manner as could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of affected Chattel Paper as collateral.

Each Grantor shall furnish to the Revolving Administrative Agent from time to time upon its request a certificate of an officer of such Grantor referring to this Section 9(i) and (x) identifying all Grantor Claims that are not then described on Schedule 9(i) attached hereto and stating that each of such additional Grantor Claims shall be deemed added to such Schedule 9(i) and shall constitute a Commercial Tort Claim, a Grantor Claim, and additional Collateral hereunder, and (y) summarizing the status or disposition of any Grantor Claims that have been settled, or have been made the subject of any binding mediation, judicial or arbitral proceeding, or any judicial or arbitral order on the merits, or that have been abandoned.  With respect to each such additional Grantor Claim, such Grantor Claim shall be and become part of the Collateral hereunder from the date such claim is identified to the Revolving Administrative Agent as provided above without further action, and (ii) the Revolving Administrative Agent is hereby authorized at the expense of the applicable Grantor to execute and file such additional financing statements or amendments to previously filed financing statements, and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable, to perfect the Lien on such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder, and the Grantor shall, if required by applicable law or otherwise at the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent, execute and deliver such Perfection Documents and take such other Perfection Action as the Revolving Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the Lien of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder. 

 

10.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 Inventory and the Equipment 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 uniform broad form standard extended coverage policies, limited only as may be provided in the standard broad form of extended coverage endorsement at 

26

 

58128579

 




 

the time in use in the states in which the Collateral is located, in each case as are customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor;

 

(ii)false pretense insurance in amounts as are customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor;

 

(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 Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds thereunder, in amounts as are customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor; 

 

(iv)liability insurance with respect to the operation of its facilities under the workers’ compensation laws of the states in which such Collateral is located as are customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor, but in no event less than the amount required by the states where such Collateral is located; and

 

(v)business interruption insurance in amounts as are customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor.

 

(b)Each insurance policy obtained in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 10(a):

 

(i)may be provided by blanket policies now or hereafter maintained by each or any Grantor or by the Company;

 

(ii)shall be issued by such insurer (or insurers) as shall be financially responsible, of recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the Revolving 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 and are reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Revolving Administrative Agent;

 

27

 

58128579

 




 

(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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent;

 

(v)without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where applicable under Section 10(a)(i) carried on the Collateral shall name the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent that the policy or certificate has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Security Agreement.

 

(d)Each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Revolving Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Revolving 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 shall fail to keep any of its Collateral in good repair and good operating condition, the Revolving Administrative Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), without waiving or releasing any Secured Obligation or Default or Event of Default by such Grantor hereunder, contract for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any required repairs, renewals and replacements; and all sums so disbursed by Revolving Administrative Agent, including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent, shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

 

(f)Each Grantor agrees that to the extent that it shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance coverage required by Section 10(a), it shall in the event of any loss or casualty pay promptly to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held in a separate account for application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10(h), such amount as would have been 

28

 

58128579

 




 

received as Net Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) by the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under the provisions of Section 10(h) had such insurance been carried to the extent required.

 

(g)The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10(a)(ii) and 10(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.

 

(h)The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Section 10(a)(i) hereof shall be paid to such Grantor and held by such Grantor in a separate account and applied, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as follows:  after any loss under any such insurance and payment of the proceeds of such insurance, each Grantor shall have a period of thirty (30) days after payment of the insurance proceeds with respect to such loss to elect to either (x) repair or replace, or such repair or replacement cannot reasonably be completed in such thirty (30) day period, commence the repair or replacement and diligently prosecute the same to completion, the Collateral so damaged, (y) deliver such Net Proceeds to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as additional Collateral or (z) apply such Net Proceeds to the acquisition of tangible assets constituting Collateral used or useful in the conduct of the business of such Grantor, subject to the provisions of this Security Agreement.  If such Grantor elects to repair or replace the Collateral so damaged, such Grantor agrees the Collateral shall be repaired to a condition substantially similar to or of better quality or higher value than its condition prior to damage or replaced with Collateral in a condition substantially similar to or of better quality or higher value than the condition of the Collateral so replaced prior to damage.  At all times during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive direct and immediate payment of the proceeds of such insurance and such Grantor shall take all action as the Revolving 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 proceeds to such Revolving 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.

 

(i)“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 Attorney Costs) incurred in the realization thereof.

 

(j)In case of any material damage to, destruction or loss of, or claim or proceeding against, all or any material part of the Collateral pledged hereunder by a Grantor, such Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Revolving Administrative Agent.  Each such notice shall describe generally the nature and extent of such damage, destruction, loss, claim or proceeding.  Subject to Section 10(d), each Grantor is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise any loss under any such insurance 

29

 

58128579

 




 

other than losses relating to claims made directly against any Secured Party as to which the insurance described in Section 10(a)(ii) or (iii) is applicable.

 

(k)The provisions contained in this Security Agreement pertaining to insurance shall be cumulative with any additional provisions imposing additional insurance requirements with respect to the Collateral or any other property on which a Lien is conferred under any Security Instrument.

 

11.Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Revolving Event of Default or a Floorplan Event of Default, as the case may be, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and remedies on behalf of the Revolving Secured Parties or the Floorplan Secured Parties, as applicable, 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 procedure or without judicial process;

 

(c)The right to (i) enter upon the premises of a Grantor through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor notice or opportunity for a hearing on the validity of the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent or any agent of the Revolving Administrative Agent, for such time as the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Revolving 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, Instruments, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles (collectively, “Payment Collateral”), including the right to demand payment thereof and enforce payment, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew all or any Payment Collateral or any legal proceedings pertaining thereto; (iii) discharge and release all or any Payment Collateral; 

30

 

58128579

 




 

(iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds referred to in Section 5 above; (v) prepare, file and sign a Grantor’s name on any Proof of Claim in bankruptcy, notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in any action or proceeding adverse to any obligor under any Payment Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Payment Collateral; (vi) endorse the name of a Grantor upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (vii) use the information recorded on or contained on a Grantor’s internet website or otherwise in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral to which a Grantor has access; (viii) open such Grantor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due to such Grantor from any Account Debtors or other obligor in respect of Payment Collateral; (ix) take over such Grantor’s post office boxes or make other arrangements as the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable 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 such address as the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, may designate; (x) notify any or all Account Debtors or other obligor on any Payment Collateral that such Payment Collateral has been assigned to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Revolving Administrative Agent has a security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent if requested to do so by the Revolving Administrative Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Revolving Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to collect the Payment Collateral; and

 

(e)The right to sell all or any Collateral in its then existing condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at such time or times, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, with or without representations and warranties, all as the Revolving Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.  The Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent may see fit.  The Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is hereby granted an irrevocable fully paid license or other right (including each Grantor’s rights under any license or any franchise agreement), each of which shall remain in full force and effect 

31

 

58128579

 




 

until the Facilities 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, 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, but the Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving 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.  Each Grantor recognizes that the Revolving Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of certain of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities (“Affected Collateral”), and that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Revolving Administrative Agent may be compelled (i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire Affected Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount of Affected Collateral sold to any Person or group. Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to such Grantor than if such Affected Collateral was sold either at public sales or at private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Revolving Administrative Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Affected Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or any other Person to register or otherwise qualify them under or exempt them from any applicable restriction, even if such Grantor or other Person would agree to register or otherwise qualify or exempt such Affected Collateral so as to permit a public sale under the Securities Act or applicable state law.  Each Grantor further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of Affected Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges 

32

 

58128579

 




 

that a ready market may not exist for Affected Collateral that is not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system.

 

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 Attorneys’ Costs) 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 8.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement or Section 8.06 of the Floorplan Credit Agreement as applicable, or, if such application is contrary to the application specified in the Master Intercreditor Agreement, then such net cash proceeds shall be applied as required pursuant to the Master Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Grantor shall be liable to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the Revolving 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. 

 

The Revolving Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Floorplan Secured Parties, shall have no liability or responsibility for the method or manner, or any failure, of application of funds to the Floorplan Secured Obligations by the Floorplan Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be fully acquitted as to any net proceeds upon delivery of same to the Floorplan Administrative Agent.  

 

12.Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, that the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right and power:

 

(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 Revolving Administrative Agent’s possession or the Revolving Administrative Agent’s control, and deposit the same to the account of the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on account and for payment of the Secured Obligations.

 

33

 

58128579

 




 

(d)to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Revolving Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Revolving 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.

 

13.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 13 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 Facilities Termination Date.

 

14.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 or entity, 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 Revolving 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 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

 




34

 

58128579

 




 

15.Continued Powers.  Until the Facilities Termination Date shall have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be exercised by the Revolving Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time 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.

 

16.Other Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies given to the Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Agreements.

 

17.Anti-Marshaling Provisions.  The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Revolving 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.

 

18.Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with each 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 and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained in the Loan Documents.  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 in a writing that is (a) signed by the Grantors and the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), (b) acknowledged by the Revolving Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (c) if such change, alteration, modification, supplement, discharge, cancellation, 

35

 

58128579

 




 

termination or amendment would be adverse in any way to any Floorplan Lender or the Floorplan Administrative Agent, signed by the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Floorplan Credit Agreement) and acknowledged by the Floorplan Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

19.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 Revolving 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.

 

20.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 applicable Credit Agreement, in the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 20, 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 applicable Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by such Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such permitted 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 applicable Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Revolving Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations).  All references herein to the Revolving 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.

 

21.Related Swap Contracts and Secured Cash Management Arrangements.  All obligations of each Revolving Grantor under or in respect of Related Swap Contracts and Secured Cash Management Arrangements other than Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed to be Revolving Secured Obligations secured hereby, and each Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank party to any such Related Swap Contract or Secured Cash Management Arrangements shall be deemed to be a Revolving Secured Party hereunder with respect to such Revolving Secured Obligations; provided, however, that such obligations under or in respect of any Related Swap Contract shall cease to be Revolving Secured Obligations at such time, prior to the Facility Termination Date (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), as the applicable Hedge Bank (or Affiliate of such Person) shall cease to be a “Hedge Bank” under the Revolving Credit Agreement. 

 




36

 

58128579

 




 

No Person who obtains the benefit of any Lien by virtue of the provisions of this Section shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Revolving Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Revolving Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Revolving Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Revolving Lender and only to the extent expressly provided in the Revolving Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been with respect to, the Revolving Secured Obligations arising under Related Swap Contracts or Secured Cash Management Arrangements to the extent the Revolving Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Revolving Secured Obligations together with such supportive documentation as it may request from the applicable Revolving Lender or Affiliate of a Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that any other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Related Swap Contracts in the case of a Facility Termination Date.  Each Revolving Secured Party not a party to the either Revolving Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement by virtue of the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Revolving Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Revolving Secured Party, the Revolving Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

22.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.

 

23.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 23, the provisions of Section 10.10 of both Credit Agreements shall be applicable to this Security Agreement.

 

24.Termination.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13, 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 Facilities Termination Date.  Upon such termination of this Security Agreement, the Revolving 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.

For purposes of this Security Agreement, a “Qualifying Control Agreement” shall mean each of the following, as applicable to the respective items or types of property in which the Grantor now has or may hereafter acquire an interest:

 

(a)With respect to Investment Property credited to any securities account, an agreement executed by the applicable securities intermediary substantially in a form satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent in its discretion;

 

(b)With respect to Deposit Accounts or tangible personal property Collateral in the possession, custody or control of any warehouseman or other bailee, an acknowledgment and agreement executed by the depositary institution or bailee (each, a “Custodian”), as the case may be, and (as to Deposit Accounts) the applicable Grantor, in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and such Custodian;

 

(c)With respect to Letter-of-Credit Rights, an acknowledgment and agreement of the issuer or other applicable person nominated to accept drafts and or effect payment thereunder (the “Issuer”) of the related letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and in which the Issuer (i) consents to and acknowledges the Lien in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent conferred hereunder in proceeds of drawings under the related letter of credit, (ii) agrees that it will not acknowledge any Lien in favor of any other Person on Letter-of-Credit Rights until it receives notice from the Revolving Administrative Agent that all Liens on such Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties have been released or terminated, and (iii) to the extent not inconsistent with the express terms of the related letter of credit, agrees that upon receipt of notice from the Revolving Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will make all payments of drawings honored by it under the related letter of credit to the Revolving Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any contrary instruction received from the Grantor; and

 

(d)With respect to any Investment Property in the form of uncertificated securities, an agreement of the issuer of such Investment Property in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and such issuer sufficient to confer control (within the meaning of Section 9-106 of the UCC) over such property and containing such other terms and provisions as the Revolving Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
