AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2002, is between AUTOMOTIVE FINANCE CORPORATION, an Indiana corporation (the “Originator”), as seller, and AFC FUNDING CORPORATION, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), as purchaser.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of December 31, 1996 (as amended or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Purchase and Sale Agreement”) shall, subject to this paragraph, be superseded hereby in their entirety. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement by this Agreement, the Originator shall continue to be liable for all unpaid amounts accrued to the date hereof and owing by it under the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement and all agreements thereunder to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the date that the conditions are satisfied in Section 4.3 hereof (the “Amended and Restated Closing Date”). Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Purchase and Sale Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

Definitions

Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement, certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Originator, as initial Servicer, Fairway Finance Corporation and such other entities from time to time as may become purchasers thereunder as purchasers (together with their successors and assigns, the “Purchasers”), and BMO XXXXXXX XXXXX CORP., as the initial agent and as purchaser agent for Fairway Finance Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”) and XL Capital Assurance Inc., as Insurer (the “Insurer”).

Background

1. The Company is a special purpose corporation, all of the capital stock of which is wholly-owned by the Originator.

2. On the Original Closing Date (as defined below), the Originator transferred certain Receivables and Related Rights to the Company as a capital contribution to the Company.

3. In order to finance its business, the Originator wishes to sell certain Receivables and Related Rights from time to time to the Company, and the Company is willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to purchase such Receivables and Related Rights from the Originator.

4. The Company intends to sell to Purchasers an undivided variable percentage interest in its Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement in order to finance its purchases of certain Receivables and Related Rights hereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTE

1.1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Article IV) , and in consideration of the Purchase Price, the Originator agrees to sell to the Company, and does hereby sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase from the Originator, and does hereby purchase from the Originator, without recourse and without regard to collectibility, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

(a) each Receivable of the Originator that existed and was owing to the Originator as of the opening of the Originator’s business on December 31, 1996 (the “Original Closing Date”) (other than the Receivables and Related Rights contributed by the Originator to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 (the “Contributed Receivables”));

(b) each Receivable created or originated by the Originator from the opening of the Originator’s business on the Original Closing Date to and including the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (other than any Excluded Receivables identified from time on Schedule 1.1(b) and consented to by the Agent and the Insurer, as such Schedule may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time with the consent of the Agent and the Insurer);

(c) all rights to, but not the obligations under, all Related Security (other than with respect to the Contributed Receivables);

(d) all monies due or to become due with respect to any of the foregoing;

(e) all books and records related to any of the foregoing; and

(f) all proceeds thereof (as defined in the UCC) received or applied on or after the Original Closing Date including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by the Originator, the Company or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables), or that are (or are to be) applied to amounts owed in respect of any such Receivable (including, without limitation, insurance payments and net proceeds of the sale or other disposition of vehicles or other collateral or property of the related Obligor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for the payment of any such Receivable that are (or are to be) applied thereto).

All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originator, in its capacity as seller and contributor, set forth in each Transaction Document. The Company’s foregoing commitment to purchase such Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in subsections (c) through (f) of this Section 1.1 (collectively, including such item relating to Contributed Receivables, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

1.2. Timing of Purchases.

(a) Original Closing Date Purchases. The Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to the Originator as of the opening of the Originator’s business on the Original Closing Date (other than Contributed Receivables), and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto was sold to the Company on the Original Closing Date.

(b) Regular Purchases. After the Original Closing Date, each Receivable created or originated by the Originator and all Related Rights shall be purchased and owned by the Company (without any further action) upon the creation or origination of such Receivable (other than any Excluded Receivables created or originated by the Originator from the opening of the Originator’s business on the Amended and Restated Closing Date to and including the Purchase and Sale Termination Date).

1.3. Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make all Purchase Price payments to the Originator.

1.4. Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which the Originator shall have given notice to the Company that the Originator desires to terminate this Agreement.

As used herein, “ Payment Date” means (i) the Original Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originator is open for business.

1.5. Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the transfers of the Receivables (other than Contributed Receivables) and Related Rights (other than those relating to the Contributed Receivables) by the Originator to the Company, as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, sales and not as secured loans secured by the Receivables and Related Rights. If, however, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such transactions are deemed to be loans, the Originator hereby grants to the Company a security interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto, and all proceeds thereof, to secure all of the Originator’s obligations hereunder.

1.6. Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Material Adverse Effect” and “Solvent” are defined as follows:

“Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any event or circumstance, a material adverse effect on:

(i) the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Originator;

(ii) the ability of the Originator or the Servicer (if it is the Originator) to perform its obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or the performance of any such obligations;

(iii) the validity or enforceability of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) the status, existence, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Company’s interest in the Receivables or Related Rights; or

(v) the collectibility of the Receivables.

“Solvent” means, with respect to any Person at any time, a condition under which:

(i) the fair value and present fair saleable value of such Person’s total assets is, on the date of determination, greater than such Person’s total liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) at such time;

(ii) such Person is and shall continue to be able to pay all of its liabilities as such liabilities mature; and

(iii) such Person does not have unreasonably small capital with which to engage in its current and in its anticipated business.

For purposes of this definition:

(A) the amount of a Person’s contingent or unliquidated liabilities at any time shall be that amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances then existing, represents the amount which can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability;

(B) the “fair value” of an asset shall be the amount which may be realized within a reasonable time either through collection or sale of such asset at its regular market value;

(C) the “regular market value” of an asset shall be the amount which a capable and diligent business person could obtain for such asset from an interested buyer who is willing to purchase such asset under ordinary selling conditions; and

(D) the “present fair saleable value” of an asset means the amount which can be obtained if such asset is sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s length transaction in an existing and not theoretical market.

ARTICLE II

CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

2.1. Calculation of Purchase Price. On each Servicer Report Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Company, the Agent, the Insurer and the Originator (if the Servicer is other than the Originator) a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the matters set forth therein and the Company’s purchases of Receivables from the Originator

(a) that were made on the Original Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report delivered on the Original Closing Date), or

(b) that were made during the period commencing on the Servicer Report Date immediately preceding such Servicer Report Date to (but not including) such Servicer Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report).

The “Purchase Price” (to be paid to the Originator in accordance with the terms of Article III) for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder shall be the fair market value of the Receivables as agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Originator.

ARTICLE III

CONTRIBUTION OF RECEIVABLES;

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

3.1. Contribution of Receivables. On the Original Closing Date, the Originator contributed to the capital of the Company, Receivables and Related Rights with respect thereto consisting of each Receivable of the Originator that existed and was owing to the Originator on the Original Closing Date that as of such date was not an Eligible Receivable and Receivables that existed and were owing to the Originator on the Original Closing Date that as of such date were Eligible Receivables, beginning with the oldest of such Eligible Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter, and all or an undivided interest in the most recent of such contributed Eligible Receivables [*].

3.2. Initial Purchase Price Payment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase of Receivables made on the Original Closing Date [*].

3.3. Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Business Day falling after the Original Closing Date and on or prior to the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Originator the Purchase Price

for the Receivables sold by the Originator to the Company on such Business Day, in cash, to the extent funds are available to make such payment and such payment is permitted by paragraph (o) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement [*].

Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Company Note or otherwise to reflect the foregoing payments and adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4, and Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of and accrued interest on the Company Note at any time. Furthermore, Servicer shall hold the Company Note for the benefit of the Originator, and all payments under the Company Note shall be made to the Servicer for the account of the applicable payee thereof. The Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes Servicer to xxxx the Company Note “CANCELLED” and to return the Company Note to the Company upon the finalpayment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

3.4. Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from the Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.4, 5.11 or 5.20 is not true with respect to such Receivable or as a result of any action or inaction of the Originator, on any day any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 5.4, 5.11 or 5.20 is no longer true with respect to such a Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to the Receivables purchased hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in subsection (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to the Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any discount, rebate or other adjustment made by the Originator, Company or Servicer or any setoff or dispute between the Company, the Originator or the Servicer and an Obligor, then the Purchase Price with respect to the Receivables purchased hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in subsection (c) below.

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of the Receivables pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Company from the Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit

(i) shall be paid in cash to the Company by the Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso, or

(ii) shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Company Note, to the extent that such payment is permitted under paragraph (o) of Exhibit IV of the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

provided, further, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists or (z) on or after the Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by the Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into the Collection Account for application by Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

(d) Each Purchase Report (other than the Purchase Report delivered on the Original Closing Date) shall include, in respect of the Receivables previously generated by the Originator (including the Contributed Receivables), a calculation of the aggregate reductions described in subsection (a) or (b) relating to such Receivables since the last Purchase Report delivered hereunder.

3.5. Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that the Originator has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.4, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to the Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens created by the Company.

(a) the transfer by the Originator of an interest in any Receivable or Related Right to any Person other than the Company;

(b) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Originator under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any information or report delivered by the Originator pursuant hereto or thereto (including any information contained in a Purchase Report) which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made, deemed made or delivered;

(c) the failure by the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(d) [*]

(e) the failure of the Originator to file with respect to itself, or any delay by the Originator in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables or purported Receivables generated by the Originator or Related Rights, whether at the time of any purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time;

(f) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable or purported Receivable generated by the Originator (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivables or the related Contracts not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to the transaction giving rise to any Receivable or relating to collection activities with respect to any Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the Originator or any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer or by any agent or independent contractor retained by the Originator or any of its Affiliates);

(i) any tax or governmental fee or charge (other than any tax excluded pursuant to the proviso below), all interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the purchase, contribution or ownership of the Receivables or any Related Right connected with any such Receivables;

excluding, however, (i) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (ii) any indemnification which has the effect of recourse for non-payment of the Receivables due to credit reasons to the Originator (except as otherwise specifically provided under this Section 9.1) and (iii) any tax based upon or measured by net income or gross receipts.

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then the Originator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Promptly after receipt by a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party under this Article IX of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action arising out of or as a result of any of paragraphs (a) through (m) above, the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Originator under this Article IX, notify the Originator in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the Originator shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Article IX except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to

9. Subordination Provisions. The Company covenants and agrees, and Originator and any other holder of this Term Note (collectively, Originator and any such other holder are called the “Holder”), by its acceptance of this Term Note, likewise covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any holder of this Term Note, that the payment of the principal amount of and interest on this Term Note is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this paragraph 9:

(a) No payment or other distribution of the Company’s assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Term Note except to the extent such payment or other distribution is (i) permitted under clause (o) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) made pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 of this Term Note;

(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than as permitted by the Purchase and Sale Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before Originator shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Term Note. In order to implement the foregoing: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Term Note to which Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of this Term Note, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that Purchaser (or the Agent acting on Purchaser’s behalf), in the name of Holder or otherwise, may demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of Holder relating to this Term Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(c) In the event that Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Term Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Term Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by Holder to the Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith. Holder will xxxx its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this Term Note is subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments and distributions received by the Agent in respect of this Term Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these

Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Term Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Agent (in the order of application set forth in Section 1.4(c) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

(d) Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Term Note, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending Holder shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash. If no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, Holder shall only be entitled to exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Term Note) to the extent that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be permitted under clause (o) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Term Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and Holder, the Company’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay Holder the principal of and interest on this Term Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of Holder and creditors of the Company (other than the Senior Interest Holders);

(f) Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Term Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Term Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless Holder shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, the Insurer and Purchaser in each case;

(g) Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Agent, the Insurer and Purchaser, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j) Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Term Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the

Senior Interest Holders, and the Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Term Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Term Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Term Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Term Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Term Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Term Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by Originator under this Term Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to Originator on any date shall be computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to Originator computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. No Negotiation. This Term Note is not negotiable.

13. Governing Law. THIS TERM NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.

14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Term Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Term Note.
