pursuant to such loan. In the event that such assumption and release is consummated within such
90-day period and provided that Purchaser pays or causes to be paid all closing costs and fees,

and Defense Counsel in such defense and, in furtherance thereof, shall provide any and all
documents, witnesses, consents, approvals and other information as, from time to time, may be
requested by Seller and/or Defense Counsel. In the event that Purchaser and the Company withdraw
their consent to Seller’s assumption of the defense of the Litigation and/or fail to cooperate with
Seller or Defense Counsel in connection with the defense of the Litigation, Seller shall be
relieved of any and all liabilities with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, all costs
and attorneys’ fees. In the event any amounts are recovered by way of counterclaim or otherwise,
including without limitation, damages, awards, attorneys’ fees, costs and the like (“Damage

corporations, affiliates, predecessors, assigns, and insurers, does hereby release, remise and

Closing without the prior approval of the other party.

          6.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or
remedies upon any person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

          6.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents referred to herein)
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior understandings,
agreements, or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, to the extent they
related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

          6.6 Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party
may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without

          6.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

          6.8 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

 

          6.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule (thereof or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Purchaser hereby: (a) consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the State of Texas, County of Cameron;
(b) irrevocably agrees that, subject to Seller’s election, all actions or proceedings relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be litigated in such courts; (c)

any objection it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of
any proceeding in any such court.

          6.10 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be
valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties. No waiver by any
party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether
intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default,
misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights
arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence.

          6.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or
unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending
term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

          6.12 Construction. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. In the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, the Transaction Documents shall be construed as if
drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision thereof. Any reference to any
federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including”
shall mean including without limitation. Nothing in any Schedule hereto shall be deemed adequate
to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless it identifies the
exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item
shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein
(unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item
itself). The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein
shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or
covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation,
warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of
specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the
party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. Time is of the essence with
respect to any obligation of Purchaser to pay any sums to Seller under any of the Transaction
Documents.

          6.13 Incorporation of Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules identified
in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

          6.14 Specific Performance. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other
party would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of
the parties agrees that the other party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and
the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any
state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy
to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Agreement on the day and year
first above written.

PROMISSORY NOTE

PROMISSORY NOTE

March 31, 2008

$3,200,000.00

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Stalwart Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation with an address of 8409
Pickwick Lane #383, Dallas, Texas 75225 (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of FirstPlus
Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation with an address of 122 West John Carpenter Freeway, Suite
450, Irving, Texas 75039 (“Payee”), the principal sum of Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($3,200,000.00), together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined below) or the
Default Rate (as defined below), as applicable, in lawful money of the United States, by wire
transfer to an account designated by Payee or, in the absence of such designation, by certified or
bank cashier’s checks payable to Payee delivered to Payee at such address, in immediately available
funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for, any taxes or other payments. Time is of the essence of this Promissory Note (this “Note”).

     1. Security. This Note is executed and delivered in connection that certain Stock
Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, pursuant to which Payee sold to Maker one hundred percent
(100%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Olé Auto Group, Inc. (“Company”). This Note is
secured by that certain Pledge Agreement from Maker of even date herewith and guaranteed by Company
and secured by its assets pursuant to that certain Guaranty and Security Agreement of even date
herewith (hereinafter the aforementioned documents, to wit: the Stock Purchase Agreement, Pledge
Agreement, Guaranty and Security Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Transaction
Documents”).

     2. Interest. Interest (calculated on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year and the
actual number of days elapsed, as applicable) on the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall
accrue from the date hereof at the rate of interest of six percent (6%) per annum (the
“Interest Rate”). If Maker shall fail to pay when due any sum payable hereunder, all sums
payable hereunder shall be accelerated and shall be immediately due and payable in full without
notice, demand or other action by Payee, and interest shall commence to accrue and be payable
hereunder on all such sums at an annual interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum (the
“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be
entered on this Note. Maker acknowledges that: (i) such additional rate is a material inducement
to Payee to make the loan hereby evidenced (the “Loan”); (ii) Payee would not have made the Loan in
the absence of the agreement of Maker to pay such additional rate; (iii) such additional rate
represents compensation for increased risk to Payee that the Loan will not be repaid; and (iv) such
rate is not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of compensation to Payee for losses that
are difficult to ascertain.

	 	3.	 	Payments; Prepayment.

 

 

          3.1 No payments shall be due hereunder until April 1, 2009. Commencing April 1, 2009, Maker
shall pay to Payee the original principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest for the period April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, in seventy-one (71) monthly
installments of principal and interest of $21,854.70 each and a seventy-second (72nd) installment
of principal and interest of $2,990,909.27, (which amounts were determined on the basis of a
twenty-five (25) year principal amortization schedule), which installments shall be due and payable
on the first (1st) day of each calendar month commencing April 1, 2009 and continuing on the first
(1st) day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter until April 1, 2015, at which time all
principal and accrued interest and other sums hereunder shall be immediately due and payable in
full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred,
Maker shall have a onetime option, exercisable by giving written notice to Payee at least sixty
(60) days, but no more than one hundred and eighty days (180) prior to April 1, 2015, to extend the
Final Payment Date to March 31, 2020. Notwithstanding such extension, Maker shall continue to make
regular monthly installments of principal and interest pursuant to Section 3.1.

          3.2 At any time and from time to time hereafter, Maker may prepay all or any part of the
principal balance without penalty or premium, provided that any such prepayment of principal shall
be accompanied by the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such
prepayment.

     3.3 Maker shall provide to Payee, within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year of Ole ́
Auto Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (“OAG”), financial statements reflecting, in reasonable
detail, a balance sheet for the operation of OAG, a fully itemized statement of the gross income
and expenses of OAG for such fiscal year, and a profit and loss statement for OAG, all in form
reasonably acceptable to Payee (collectively, “Financials”). Maker agrees to make or cause to be
made available to Payee, the books and accounts relating to OAG’s operations, upon written request
at any reasonable time and further agrees to furnish Payee with such additional financial
statements or information as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Payee. In the event
that the Financials indicate that OAG is operating at a negative cash flow position, Maker may
request that the commencement of monthly payments pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof be postponed until
April 1, 2010 by making a written request to Payee at least ninety (90) days prior to April 1,
2009. Payee shall submit the Financials to Payee’s independent auditor for an analysis of the cash
flow position of OAG and if such independent auditor confirms the cash flow position as reflected
in the Financials, Payee shall grant such postponement. If Payee’s independent auditor does not
confirm the cash flow position as reflected in the Financials, Payee shall not grant such
postponement and monthly payments shall commence on April 1, 2009. The opinion of Payee’s
independent auditor shall be conclusive regarding the cash flow position of OAG.

     4. Post-Judgment Interest; Usury. Any judgment obtained for sums due under this Note
shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid. Notwithstanding any provision contained
herein, Maker’s liability for the payment of interest under this Note shall not exceed any limits
imposed by any applicable usury law. If any provision of this Note requires interest payments in
excess of the highest rate permitted by law, the provision in question shall be deemed to require
only the highest such payment permitted by law. Any amounts theretofore received by Payee
hereunder in excess of the maximum amount of interest so permitted shall be applied by Payee in
reduction of the outstanding principal balance hereof or, if this Note shall have theretofore been
paid in full, the amount of such excess shall be promptly returned by Payee to the Maker.

     5. Representations and Warranties. Maker represents and warrants to Payee that: (a)
Maker’s execution and delivery of this Note and the enforceability against Maker of the
transactions hereby contemplated have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action; (b)
this Note has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Maker and constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of Maker; (c) the execution and delivery of this Note by Maker does not, and
the performance by it of the transactions hereby contemplated will not result in a violation or
breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give
rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any terms, conditions or
provisions of any note, debenture, security agreement, lien, mortgage or other agreement,
instrument or obligation, oral or written, to which Maker is a

-26-

 

party (whether as an original party or as an assignee or successor) or by which it or any of
its properties is bound; (d) no approval or consent by any third party is required in connection
with Maker’s execution and delivery of this Note and the transactions hereby contemplated.

     6. Default; Remedies.

          6.1 Default. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default (“Event
of Default”) hereunder:

               (a) Maker shall fail to pay in full all sums due and payable hereunder on the date such sums
first become due and payable hereunder or Maker shall fail to pay in full, within five (5) days
following written demand, any other sum due and payable hereunder;

               (b) Maker shall violate or fail to perform or otherwise breaches any agreement, term, covenant
or condition herein contained other than as specified in Section 6.1(a) above, and does not cure
such default within twenty (20) days following written notice of such default, or, if such default
cannot reasonably be cured during such period, commenced to cure such default prior to the
expiration of such period and diligently continues to cure such default within a reasonable time;

               (c) Maker and/or Company shall default in the performance of any obligations, agreements or
covenants of Maker or Company, as the case may be, under any of the other Transaction Documents,
after the expiration of any and all applicable periods of notice, grace and opportunity to cure,
and provided that such default is not cured within the applicable period of grace and opportunity
to cure;

               (d) Any representation or warranty made by Maker and/or Company hereunder or under any of the
other Transaction Documents is untrue in any material respect;

               (e) Maker and/or Company shall become insolvent or bankrupt in any sense, commit an act of
bankruptcy, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or offer a composition or settlement to
creditors, or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with
creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Maker and/or Company, or a bill in
equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, conservator or
similar official for any of Maker’s or Company’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or
personal property of Maker or Company shall be levied upon by any sheriff, marshal or constable;
provided, however, that any proceeding brought by anyone other than Maker, Company or Payee under
any bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or similar law
shall not constitute a default until such proceeding, decree, judgment or order has continued
unstayed for more than twenty (20) consecutive days;

-27-

 

               (f) The entry of a judgment or judgments against Maker and/or Company in excess of $50,000.00
in the aggregate and the failure of Maker or Company, as the case may be, to discharge or bond over
the judgment(s) within twenty (20) days of the entry thereof; or

               (g) The dissolution or termination of existence of Maker, Company or any guarantor of any of
Maker’s obligations hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents including, without
limitation, by operation of law as a result of a merger (in which it does not survive),
consolidation or other form of reorganization, or the sale, transfer, exchange, pledge, mortgage,
encumbrance or other disposition, liquidation or hypothecation of substantially all of Maker’s or
Company’s assets.

          6.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Payee may enforce payment
of this Note in whole or in part at any time and by any remedy available to Payee hereunder, at law
or in equity.

     7. Miscellaneous.

          7.1 Waiver of Defenses. Maker and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note severally
waive presentment, demand, protest, and notice of nonpayment. Maker and all endorsers and
guarantors hereof consent to any number of renewals or extensions of the time of payment hereof
without notice to any of those parties. The granting, without notice, of any extension of time for
the payment of any sum due under this Note or for the performance of any covenant, condition, or
agreement hereof, or the taking or release of other or additional security shall in no way release
or discharge the liability of Maker or of any such endorsers or guarantors.

          7.2 Remedies Cumulative. All remedies, and the warrants of attorney herein contained,
shall be cumulative and concurrent, may be pursued singly, successively or concurrently at Payee’s
discretion and exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur. The failure to exercise any
right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. No delay on the
part of Payee in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by Payee of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

          7.3 Enforcement Costs. In addition to all other sums due and payable hereunder, Maker
shall fail to pay when due all sums payable hereunder, if Payee at any time retains one or more
attorneys to enforce any obligation of Maker hereunder and Payee is wholly or partially successful,
then, upon written notice from Payee, Maker shall pay Payee’s reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses
and litigation costs, if any. Any such attorney’s fees, expenses and litigation costs payable by
Maker to Payee shall be added to the principal balance hereof.

          7.4 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Note and all rights, obligations and powers
granted hereby will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The words “Payee” and “Maker” whenever
occurring herein shall be deemed and construed to include their respective successors and assigns.
If more than one person signs this Note, notwithstanding the failure by any other person to execute
this Note, each such person shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. Payee may
transfer, assign or pledge this Note and the transferee, assignee, or pledgee shall become vested
with all of Payee’s rights and remedies with respect to this Note. Maker shall not assign any of
its rights, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder without Payee’s written consent.

          7.5 Construction of Terms; Headings. Whenever used, the singular shall include the
plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. The
headings preceding the text of the sections and paragraphs hereof are inserted solely for
convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Note nor shall they affect its
meaning, construction or effect. The word “Maker” whenever used herein is intended to and shall be
construed to mean each of the persons or entities who have executed this Note and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and the liability of each person or entity
named as Maker shall be joint and several. The word “Payee” whenever used herein is intended to
and shall be construed to mean the Payee or its successors and assigns. This Note and all rights
and powers granted hereby shall bind Maker and its respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of Payee and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns. The word “person” shall mean individual,

-28-

 

 corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or unincorporated
association. The use of any gender shall include all genders. The singular number shall include
the plural and the plural the singular as the context may require. If Maker is more than one
person, all obligations, agreements, covenants, conditions, provisions, stipulations, warrants of
attorney, authorizations, waivers, releases, options, undertaking, rights and benefit made or given
by Maker shall be joint and several, and shall bind and affect all persons who are defined as
“Maker” as fully as though all of them were specifically named herein wherever the word “Maker” is
used. If Payee is more than one person, all obligations, agreements, covenants, conditions,
provisions, stipulations, warrants of attorney, authorizations, waivers, releases, options,
undertaking, rights and benefit made or given by Payee shall be deemed made or given to each Payee,
and to all of them, as fully as though all of them were specifically named herein wherever the word
“Payee” is used.

          7.6 Severability; Modification. The provisions of this Note are deemed severable.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect or impair the remaining
provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. No modification of this Note shall be
binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the person against whom
enforcement is sought.

          7.7 Replacement of Promissory Note. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of
Payee as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any other Transaction
Documents, Maker will issue in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other security document in the
same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

          7.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications
hereunder will be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder
shall be deemed duly given (i) upon confirmation of facsimile, (ii) one business day following the
date sent when sent by overnight delivery and (iii) three (3) business days following the date
mailed when mailed by registered or certified mail return receipt requested and postage prepaid, at
the address for the recipient listed in the introductory paragraph of this Note. Maker or Payee
may send any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder to the intended
recipient at the address set forth above using any other means (including personal delivery,
expedited courier, messenger service, telecopy, telex, ordinary mail, or electronic mail), but no
such notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given
unless and until it actually is received by the intended recipient. Maker or Payee may change the
address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be
delivered by giving the other at least five (5) business days’ notice in the manner herein set
forth.

          7.9 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of law provision or rule (thereof or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Maker hereby: (a) consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the State of Texas, County of Cameron;
(b) irrevocably agrees that, subject to Payee’s election, all actions or proceedings relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be litigated in such courts; (c)
irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court; and (d) waives
any objection it may have based on improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of
any proceeding in any such court.

EXHIBIT “B”

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

     This Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”) made effective as of March 31, 2008, is made by
Stalwart Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pledgor”) in favor FirstPlus Enterprises, Inc., a
Texas corporation (“Secured Party”).

Background

     A. To induce Secured Party to extend credit to Pledgor pursuant to that certain Promissory
Note dated of even herewith from Pledgor to Secured Party (as may be amended, restated,
supplemented, or replaced from time to time, the “Note”), Pledgor executes and delivers this
Agreement to Secured Party. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Note.

     B. This Agreement is given and is intended to provide additional security for the Note.

     NOW THEREFORE, for other good and sufficient consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, Pledgor, intending to be legally bound, hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

     Pledgor, for the purpose of granting a continuing lien and security interest, does hereby
assign, pledge, hypothecate, deliver and set over to Secured Party, its successors and assigns, for
the benefit of Secured Party, the stock described on Schedule I attached hereto and made
part hereof, together with any additions, exchanges, replacements, and substitutions therefore, and
distributions with respect thereto, and the proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Pledged
Collateral”).

     The pledge and security interest described herein shall continue in effect to secure the Note
until the Note has been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full.

     Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that:

          Except as pledged herein, Pledgor has not sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or granted any
option or security interest in or otherwise hypothecated the Pledged Collateral in any manner
whatsoever and the Pledged Collateral is pledged herewith free and clear of any and all liens,
security interests, encumbrances, claims, pledges, restrictions, legends, and options;

          Pledgor has the full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform under this Agreement
and to pledge the Pledged Collateral hereunder;

          This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, and the pledge of the Pledged Collateral referred to herein is not in
violation of and shall not create any default under any agreement, undertaking or obligation of
Pledgor;

          The Pledged Collateral has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuer thereof;

          Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, Pledgor is delivering to Secured Party all stock
certificates, representing or evidencing the Pledged Collateral, accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, to be held by Secured Party in accordance with
the terms hereof;

          Pledgor hereby confirms that Secured Party is authorized to file all UCC-1 financing
statements that are required under the UCC (as defined below) to perfect any security interest
granted hereunder;

5

 

     If an Event of Default occurs under the Note then Secured Party may, at its sole option,
exercise from time to time with respect to the Pledged Collateral any and/or all rights and
remedies available to it hereunder, under the Note and/or under the Uniform Commercial Code as
adopted from time to time in the State of Texas (“UCC”), or otherwise available to it, at law or
in equity, including, without limitation, the right to dispose of the Pledged Collateral at public
or private sale(s) or other proceedings, and Pledgor agrees that, if permitted by law, Secured
Party or its nominee may become the purchaser at any such sale(s). Any such sale shall be conducted
on not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Pledgor.

     In addition to all other rights granted to Secured Party herein or otherwise available at law
or in equity, Secured Party shall have the following rights, each of which may be exercised at
Secured Party’s sole discretion (but without any obligation to do so), at any time following the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, without further consent of Pledgor: (i) transfer
the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral into the name of itself or its nominee or to
conduct a sale of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with Section 4 hereof, pursuant to the UCC
or pursuant to any other applicable law; (ii) vote the Pledged Collateral; (iii) notify the persons
obligated on any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment to Secured Party of any amounts due or
to become due thereon; and (iv) release, surrender or exchange any of the Pledged Collateral at any
time, or to compromise any dispute with respect to the same. Secured Party may proceed against the
Pledged Collateral, or any other collateral securing the Note, in any order, and against Pledgor
and any other obligor, jointly and/or severally, in any order to satisfy the Note. Pledgor waives
and releases any right to require Secured Party to first collect any of the obligations secured
hereby from any other collateral or any other party under any theory of marshalling of assets, or
otherwise. All rights and remedies of Secured Party are cumulative, not alternative.

          Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party its attorney-in-fact, subject to the terms
hereof, following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note at Secured Party’s option:
(i) to effectuate the transfer of the Pledged Collateral on the books of the issuer thereof to the
name of Secured Party for the purpose set forth in Section 5(a)(i) above or to the name of Secured
Party’s nominee, designee or assignee for the purpose of a sale conducted in accordance with
Section 4 hereof; (ii) to endorse and collect checks payable to Pledgor representing distributions
or other payments on the Pledged Collateral; and (iii) to exercise any other rights of Secured
Party hereunder or as permitted by law.

     The proceeds of any Pledged Collateral received by Secured Party at any time, whether from the
sale of Pledged Collateral or otherwise, may be applied to or on account of the obligations under
the Note and in such order as Secured Party may elect. In addition, Secured Party may, in its
discretion, apply any such proceeds to or on account of the payment of all costs, fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) which may be incurred by Secured Party.

     Pledgor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to effect, or may effect only after such
delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Pledged Collateral, a
public sale of all or part of the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the
“Securities Act”) and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group
of purchasers, all of whom qualify as accredited investors (as defined in the Securities Act) who
will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor agrees that any
such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Secured Party or the seller than
if sold at public sales, and therefore recognizes and confirms that such private sales shall not be
deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely because they were made
privately. Pledgor agrees that Secured Party has no obligation to delay the sale of any such
securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register
such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. Secured Party shall not sell or cause the
sale of any of the Pledged Collateral in violation of the Securities Act or other law.

     In the event that any reclassification, readjustment or other change is made or declared in
the Pledged Collateral or Pledgor acquires or in any other manner receives additional shares, or
any option included within the Pledged Collateral is exercised, any and all new, substituted or
additional interest, or other securities, issued by reason of any such change or exercise, shall be
delivered to and held by Secured Party under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Pledged
Collateral originally pledged hereunder. No distribution may be paid to or retained by

6

 

Pledgor
unless expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement.

     So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred under the Note, and, until Secured
Party notifies Pledgor in writing of the exercise of its rights hereunder, Pledgor shall retain the
sole right to vote the Pledged Collateral and exercise all rights of ownership with respect to all
corporate or company questions for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms hereof. Pledgor
shall execute in favor of Secured Party voting proxies for the Pledged Collateral upon Secured
Party’s request from time to time.

     Secured Party shall have no obligation to take any steps to preserve, protect or defend the
rights of Pledgor or Secured Party in the Pledged Collateral against other parties. Secured Party
shall have no obligation to sell or otherwise deal with the Pledged Collateral at any time for any
reason, whether or not upon request of Pledgor, and whether or not the value of the Pledged
Collateral, in the opinion of Secured Party or Pledgor, is more or less than the aggregate amount
of the obligations secured hereby, and any such refusal or inaction by Secured Party shall not be
deemed a breach of any duty which Secured Party may have under law to preserve the Pledged
Collateral. Except as provided by applicable law, no duty, obligation or responsibility of any
kind is intended to be delegated to or assumed by Secured Party at any time with respect to the
Pledged Collateral.

     To the extent Secured Party is required by law to give Pledgor prior notice of any public or
private sale, or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, Pledgor agrees that ten (10) days
prior written notice to Pledgor shall be a commercially reasonable and sufficient notice of such
sale or other intended disposition.

     Pledgor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Secured Party from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities resulting from any breach by Pledgor of Pledgor’s representations
and covenants under this Agreement.

     For purposes hereof, Pledgor hereby waives notice of (a) acceptance of this Agreement, (b) the
existence and incurrence from time to time of any obligations under the Note, (c) the existence of
any Event of Default, the making of demand, or the taking of any action by Secured Party under the
Note and (d) demand and default hereunder.

     Pledgor hereby consents and agrees that Secured Party may at any time or from time to time
pursuant to the Note (a) extend or change the time of payment and/or the manner, place or terms of
payment of any and all obligations under the Note, (b) supplement, amend, restate, supersede, or
replace the Note, (c) renew, extend, modify, increase or decrease loans and extensions of credit
under the Note, (d) modify the terms and conditions under which loans and extensions of credit may
be made under the Note, (e) settle, compromise or grant releases for any obligations under the Note
and/or any person or persons liable for payment of any obligations under the Note, (f) exchange,
release, surrender, sell, subordinate or compromise any collateral of any party now or hereafter
securing any of the obligations under the Note and (g) apply any and all payments received from any
source by Secured Party at any time against the obligations under the Note in any order as Secured
Party may determine; all of the foregoing in such manner and upon such terms as Secured Party may
determine and without notice to or further consent from Pledgor and without impairing or modifying
the terms and conditions of this Agreement which shall remain in full force and effect.

     This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be limited, impaired or
otherwise affected in any way by reason of (a) any delay in making demand on Pledgor for, or delay
in enforcing or failure to enforce, performance or payment of Pledgor’s obligations under the Note,
(b) any failure, neglect or omission on Secured Party’s part to perfect any lien upon, protect,
exercise rights against, or realize on, any property of Pledgor or any other party securing the
obligations under the Note, (c) any failure to obtain, retain or preserve, or the lack of prior
enforcement of, any rights against any person or persons or in any property, (d) the invalidity or
unenforceability of any obligations under the Note, (e) the existence or nonexistence of any
defenses which may be available to Pledgor with respect to the obligations under the Note, or (f)
the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or receivership
proceeding or case filed by or against any Pledgor.

     Pledgor covenants and agrees that Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of
Secured Party, sell, encumber or grant any lien, security interest or option on or with respect to
any of the Pledged Collateral.

7

 

     Any failure of or delay by Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not
be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right or remedy at any
other time.

     This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto regarding the
subject matter hereof and may be modified only by a written instrument signed by Pledgor and
Secured Party.

     This Agreement, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applied to contracts to
be performed wholly within the State. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against Pledgor with
respect to any of the obligations secured by the Note, this Agreement, or any related agreement
may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Texas, County of Cameron,
United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor accepts for
itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered
thereby in connection with this Agreement. Pledgor hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail.
Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right of Secured Party to bring proceedings against Pledgor in the courts of any other
jurisdiction. Pledgor waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted
hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon
forum non conveniens. Pledgor waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against
Pledgor in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by Pledgor against
Secured Party involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of,
related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a
federal or state court located in the County of Cameron, State of Texas.

     All communications which Secured Party may provide to Pledgor herein shall be sent to Pledgor
at the address set forth in the Note.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their
respective successors and assigns.

     [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pledgor shall have the right, with
the prior written consent of Secured Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, to grant a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to one or more lenders as security
for a loan or loans to Pledgor (the “Additional Financing”) and Secured Party agrees to subordinate
its interest in the Pledged Collateral to such lender or lenders; provided, however, that (a)
Pledgor shall give Secured Party at least five (5) days prior written notice and time to review the
details of any such Additional Financing, and (b) Pledgor shall provide such information and
documentation regarding such Additional Financing as Secured Party shall reasonably request; and
provided further that if Pledgor has provided all such information and documentation and Secured
Party fails to respond within five (5) days of receipt thereof, Secured Party shall be deemed to
have consented to such Additional Financing.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Pledge Agreement has been executed and delivered as of the date first
set forth above.

GUARANTY

GUARANTY

     THIS GUARANTY is given and made effective the 31st day of March, 2008, by Olé Auto
Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Guarantor”), with an address of 122 West John Carpenter
Freeway, Suite 455, Irving, Texas 75039 in favor of FirstPlus Enterprises, Inc., a Texas
corporation (“Secured Party”), with an address of 122 West John Carpenter Freeway, Suite
450, Irving, Texas 75039.

BACKGROUND

     A. Secured Party and Stalwart Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Borrower”), are the
parties to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (“Agreement”), pursuant to
which Secured Party sold to Borrower one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding stock
of Guarantor (“Stock”).

     B. Secured Party advanced the sum of Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000)
to Borrower pursuant to a Demand Promissory Note of even date herewith (“Note”) to finance the
acquisition of the Stock.

     C. Pursuant to the Agreement, Borrower acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the Stock of
Guarantor and Guarantor shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Agreement
and the Note.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound,
Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     1. Guaranty. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment
and performance when due of Borrower’s duties, liabilities and obligations to Secured Party under
the Note (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor hereby acknowledges that
Secured Party is relying upon Guarantor’s covenants herein. Guarantor undertakes to perform its
duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder promptly and in good faith. Time is of the essence
with respect to Guarantor’s duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.

     2. Guaranty Absolute.

 

 

          2.1 Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly
in accordance with their terms, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is
unlimited. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, not merely collectability. This
Guaranty is an agreement of suretyship as well as of guaranty and without being required to proceed
first against Borrower, or any successor or assign of Borrower, or any other person or entity, or
against any other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, Secured Party may proceed directly
against Guarantor with respect to the enforcement of any one or more of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Guarantor’s duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder are primary, absolute, independent,
irrevocable and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations as against Borrower, or any successor or assign of Borrower; (b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any term, covenant, condition or provision hereof or thereof; (c) any
exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any release or partial release of Guarantor; or (e) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Guarantor, Borrower, or any of
their respective successors or assigns. Guarantor’s duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations are fully, finally
and irrevocably paid, complied with and performed. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
Guarantor, Borrower or any successor or assign of Borrower, or otherwise, as though such payment
had not been made.

          2.2 Guarantor hereby authorizes Borrower, or any successor or assign of Borrower, without
notice and without affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time to amend, modify,
or supplement any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any term, covenant, condition or provision
thereof.

          2.3 Guarantor hereby waives any right or defense arising by reason of: (a) the legal
disability or incapacity or lack of due organization, valid existence, good standing under the laws
of any jurisdiction, due execution or delivery of this Guaranty or the Note or any corporate
approvals, power or authority required to enter into this Guaranty or the Note; (b) any statute of
limitations in any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any statute or rule of law which provides that the duties, liabilities or obligations of a
guarantor must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the
principal; (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, moratorium or
similar laws or equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or remedies
generally, including court decisions, now or hereafter in effect and as rights to indemnity may be
limited by applicable law or equitable principles; (e) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” law or
any other law which may prevent Secured Party from bringing any action, including a claim for
deficiency, against Guarantor, before or after Secured Party’s commencement or completion of any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (f) any usury or similar
laws; (g) any election of remedies by Secured Party which terminates or otherwise adversely affects
Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against Borrower, or any successor
or assign of Borrower, for reimbursement, including, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by
reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any right to
claim discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations on the basis of unjustified impairment of any
collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations; (i) any defenses available to Borrower, or any successor
or assign of Borrower, or otherwise available to Guarantor, at law or in equity, other than the
full, final and irrevocable actual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (j)
any claim of setoff, counterclaim, counter demand,

 

 

recoupment or similar right, whether such claim,
demand or right may be asserted by Guarantor, Borrower, any successor or assign of Borrower, or any
person claiming by or through any of them.

          2.4 Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under
this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Guaranteed Obligations
shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of
such subrogation rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been
indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Secured Party and
promptly (which in no event shall exceed thirty (30) days) paid to Secured Party to be applied
towards the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. If payment is made by Borrower,
or any successor or assign of Borrower, or by any third party, on the Guaranteed Obligations,
voluntarily or otherwise, and thereafter Secured Party is forced to remit the amount of that
payment to a trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any federal or state bankruptcy
law or law for the relief of debtors, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be considered unpaid for the
purpose of enforcement of this Guaranty. Although the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may from
time to time be zero dollars ($0.00), so long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations remain unpaid,
this Guaranty shall not thereby terminate.

     3. Security Agreement. This Guaranty is secured by the collateral referenced in that
certain Security Agreement of even date herewith between Guarantor and Secured Party (“Security
Agreement”). 

     4. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and

five (5) days prior written notice and time to review the details of any such Additional Financing,
and (b) Guarantor shall provide such information and documentation regarding such Additional
Financing as Secured Party shall reasonably request; and provided further that if Guarantor has
provided all such information and documentation and Secured Party fails to respond within five (5)
days of receipt thereof, Secured Party shall be deemed to have consented to such Additional
Financing.

As Trustee

 

FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of May 19, 2008 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to Debt Securities Indenture dated as of May 1, 2005 (the “Original Indenture”) between EL PASO ELECTRIC COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas, (the “Company”), and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company and Trustee have entered into the Original Indenture;

WHEREAS, the Company may from time to time duly authorize the issue of its debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness (herein called the “Securities”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture;

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and delivered, a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with its terms and for the purposes herein expressed; and the execution and delivery of this First Supplemental Indenture have been in all respects duly authorized;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for the other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the Company and the Trustee as follows:

 

 

ARTICLE I.

AUTHORIZATION; DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01. Authorization and Scope. This First Supplemental Indenture is entered into in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Original Indenture. The amendments and supplements effected by this First Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, Securities issued on or after the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may have been issued under the Original Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such amendments and supplements. Except as amended and supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Original Indenture are in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 1.02. Definitions. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.01 of this First Supplemental Indenture and unless the context shall otherwise require, all terms which are defined in Sections 1.01 and 1.02 of the Original Indenture shall have the same meanings in this First Supplemental Indenture as such terms are given in the Original Indenture.

ARTICLE II.

AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE

Section 2.01. Amendment to Section 4.06 of the Original Indenture. Section 4.06 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 4.06. SEC Reports. The Company shall file with the Trustee, (i) within 15 days after the Company files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) such reports, information and other documents as are required to be filed pursuant to Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any other obligor on the Securities shall do likewise as to the above items which it is required to file with the SEC pursuant to those sections.

However, the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any material for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the SEC. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for

 

 

2

 

informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).”

Section 2.02. Amendment to Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture.

Section 6.01 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph immediately after paragraph (g) in Section 6.01.

“Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Indenture, if so elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.06 of this Indenture or Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA (the “Reporting Obligations”) will, for the Additional Interest Period (as defined below) consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Reporting Interest”) on the Securities accruing at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Securities provided, however, that on the 180th calendar day after commencement of such Additional Interest Period (if the failure to comply with Section 4.06 of this Indenture or
Section 314(a)(1) of the TIA, as applicable, is not waived), the Securities will be subject to acceleration in the same manner as other defaults under this Indenture. The Reporting Interest will accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the Reporting Obligations first occurs to, but not including, the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived (the “Additional Interest Period”). The foregoing provisions in this Section 6.01(h) do not affect the rights of holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Reporting Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.01(h), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in the Indenture. In order to elect to pay the Reporting Interest as
the sole remedy during the Additional Interest Period for an Event of Default relating to the Reporting Obligations, the Company must notify all holders of Securities and the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default occurs.”

Section 3.3. Incorporation into Indenture. All provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and made a part of, the Original Indenture; and the Original Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument.
