aggregate outstanding amount of any other Obligations of Dealers hereunder, to purchase inventory, which will be subject to a purchase money security interest in favor of Agent, as collateral agent for Lenders, from Dealers’ existing vendors identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement and any additional vendors acceptable to Agent in Agent’s sole discretion, unless such vendors are disapproved by Agent as provided below (each, a “Vendor” and, collectively, “Vendors”), and for other purposes (including the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit).

(iii) Each Vendor may be disapproved by written notice from Agent, and following such disapproval shall cease to be a “Vendor” under this Agreement, due to (A) such vendor’s failure to comply with any law, rule, regulation, order or decree; (B) such vendor’s failure to comply with any internal policies and procedures of Agent or any Lender Affiliate relating to import or export controls, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, securities law, banking law or regulation, fraud statutes and other similar laws and regulations and codes of ethical conduct (collectively, “Internal Policies”); or(C) any circumstance which may make Agent’s disbursement of any advance to such vendor illegal or otherwise in violation of any law, rule, regulation, order or decree applicable to Agent or any Internal Policies. If a Vendor is disapproved for any reason set forth above, such disapproval will only affect Dealers’ ability to request, and Lenders’ obligation to make, subsequent Loans and will not require immediate repayment of previous advances with respect to inventory purchased from such disapproved Vendor.
(iv) Each Lender shall have the obligation to fund its Ratable Share of a Loan upon issuance by CDF of an Approval. Lenders acknowledge and agree that: (A) CDF typically issues Approvals on a date (each, an “Approval Date”) prior to the date CDF is required actually to fund the Loan (each, an “Advance Date”) that is based on such Approval, (B) once an Approval has been issued, and the Vendor receiving such Approval shall have shipped its product based thereon, CDF may deem itself obligated to fund the related Loan on the Advance Date, notwithstanding any Automatic Default, Payment Default, Default Notice or other Default that may arise on or prior to an Approval Date (each, an “Intervening Default”), and (C) each Lender shall be obligated to fully fund in cash such Lender’s Ratable Share in any Loans which derive from all Approvals issued by CDF in good faith, as well as any Open Approvals and Future Advances based thereon, notwithstanding any Intervening Default.

Ratable Share multiplied by the Net Outstandings calculated as of such Settlement Date, then Agent (on behalf of CDF) will remit such excess to such Lender by 5:00 p.m. central time on the Business Day immediately following such Settlement Date. Each payment due to Agent or Lenders will be paid in immediately available funds according to the electronic transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and, if not timely paid in accordance with this Agreement, will bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Lender Rate. If CDF is acting as Agent, it shall be deemed to have paid its deficiency or received its excess as set forth above on each Settlement Date. Each Lender hereby waives any right it may now or in the future have to set-off its obligation to make any payment to CDF or Agent under this Agreement against any obligation of CDF or Agent to such Lender, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement between CDF and such Lender or Agent and such Lender.
(vi) The amount of Loans each Lender has funded shall bear interest at the Lender Rate, as such rate may change pursuant to the terms of the applicable Program Terms Letter. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assess for the actual number of days elapsed. Provided Lender is not a Non-Funding Lender, then the amount of Monthly Interest, if any, payable to Lender, less any Administrative Fee due to Agent pursuant to a Fee Letter between Agent and Lender, shall be distributed by Agent to Lender monthly in arrears on the latter of: (A) the fifteenth (15th) day of the applicable month, or if the fifteenth (15th) is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (B) within five (5) Business Days after Agent’s receipt thereof from Dealers. To the extent that Lender is entitled to receive interest income in excess of the Monthly Interest, if such additional interest has not previously been distributed to Lender, then Lender shall be entitled to receive an additional payment from Agent equivalent to Lender’s Ratable Share of such interest income. Any amounts due to Lender for income in excess of the Monthly Interest shall be reflected and paid with Monthly Interest as set forth above. Lenders acknowledge and agree that the rate of return paid on any Loan is dependent on numerous factors, including discounts and subsidies offered by Vendors. Application of any Collections received by Agent as interest in cash or good collected funds representing payment of interest on the Loans may result in the payment of interest to Lender in excess of the rate set forth in this subsection.
(vii) Provided a Lender is not a Non-Funding Lender, any Collections received by Agent in good collected funds representing payment of any part of the Unused Line Fee (as described in the Program Terms Letter) shall be paid by Agent to each Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share monthly in arrears, with Monthly Interest as set forth in Section 2(vi).
(viii) Lenders acknowledge that Dealers may be entitled to receive a Performance Rebate on a calendar quarter basis pursuant to the terms of the Program Terms Letter. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Performance Rebate is not earned by or otherwise paid to Dealers during any calendar quarter, each Lender may be entitled to receive an additional payment from Agent equivalent to such Lender’s share of such portion of the Performance Rebate not earned by or otherwise paid to Dealers. Any amounts due to Lenders hereunder shall be reflected in a notice to be delivered in the manner set forth in Section 2(a)(v) of this Agreement within forty-five (45) days following the end of the applicable calendar quarter.
(ix) As of the Closing Date, all outstanding advances under the Existing Financing Agreement shall be deemed Loans under this Agreement.
(b) Pre-Owned Inventory Advances and Sublimits. Subject to the overall Maximum Aggregate Credit Amount set forth above and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on and after the Closing Date, Lenders severally and not jointly may make Loans to Dealers with respect to pre-owned units of inventory; provided that such cash advances shall not exceed the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and must comply with the pre-owned inventory advance terms set forth herein. Regardless of the amount of credit available to Dealers under the Maximum Aggregate Credit Amount hereunder, the total amount of Loans outstanding with respect to used or pre-owned inventory shall not exceed forty-five million dollars ($45,000,000.00) (the “Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit”). Within such Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit, (i) any Loans with respect to units with applicable valuations of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) or more shall require unit specific documentation (including an advance request form), (ii) no more than thirty-five million dollars

Dealers agree that a Dealer’s failure to notify Agent in writing of any objection to a Transaction Statement within thirty (30) days after a Transaction Statement is transmitted or otherwise sent to such Dealer shall constitute Dealers’ (a) acceptance thereof, (b) agreement that the Lenders are financing such inventory at Dealers’ request, and (c) agreement that such Transaction Statement will be incorporated herein by reference to the extent not inconsistent with the terms hereof. To the extent any Transaction Statement is inconsistent with the terms hereof, this Agreement (including any applicable Program Terms Letter) shall govern and control. If any Dealer objects to any Transaction Statement, such Dealer and Agent, on behalf of Lenders, will work in good faith to resolve such objection within sixty (60) days after the applicable Transaction Statement is transmitted or otherwise sent to such Dealer. However, notwithstanding such objection, Dealers will pay Agent on behalf of Lenders for such inventory in accordance with this Agreement. With respect to any advance made to a Vendor on behalf of a Dealer, Agent, on behalf of any one

7. Insurance.
(a) All risk of loss, damage to or destruction of Collateral shall at all times be on Dealers.

claims under any such policy and in endorsing any checks or drafts drawn by insurers. To facilitate the exercise of such rights by Agent, each Dealer has executed and delivered to Agent a Power of Attorney, which Agent agrees not to exercise any rights under unless a Default has occurred and is continuing. In addition, at any time (before and after the occurrence of any Default), (A) each Dealer shall promptly remit to Agent in the form received, with all necessary endorsements, all proceeds of such insurance which such Dealer may receive, and (B) Agent, at its election, shall either apply any proceeds of insurance it may receive toward payment of the Obligations or pay such proceeds to such Dealer or any other Dealer.
(b) Except as otherwise required by Section 7(a) of this Agreement, Dealers shall (i) keep their insurable property adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers to such extent and against such risks, including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is customary with companies similarly situated and in the same or similar businesses, (ii) maintain in full force and effect public liability and workers compensation insurance, in amounts customary for such similar companies to cover normal risks, by insurers reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law or reasonably requested by Agent. Dealers shall deliver evidence of renewal of each insurance policy on or before the date of its expiration, and from time to time shall deliver to Agent, on or before the date hereof, and thereafter upon demand, evidence of the maintenance of such insurance. Dealers shall delivery promptly to Agent copies of all reports provided to insurers by any Dealer.
(c) The following notice is given pursuant to Section 180/10 of the Collateral Protection Act set forth in Chapter 815 Section 180/1 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes; nothing contained in such notice shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of this Agreement: Unless EACH Dealer provides evidence of THE insurance coverage required by SUCH DEALER’S Agreement WITH Agent and lenders, Agent may purchase insurance at such DEALER’S expense to protect Agent’s and lenders’ interest in SUCH Dealer’s collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect SUCH Dealer’s interest. The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any claim that SUCH Dealer makes or any claim that is made against SUCH Dealer in connection with the collateral. SUCH Dealer may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent evidence that SUCH Dealer has obtained insurance as required under this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for ANY collateral, DealerS will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premium, interest and any other chaRges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to DEALERs’ total outstanding balance or obligation. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance A Dealer may be able to obtain on its own.
8. Financial Statements. Unless waived by Agent, Dealers will deliver to Agent, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent: (a) Dealers’ audited year-end balance sheet and audited annual profit and loss statement for each fiscal year after the date hereof, prepared on a consolidated basis, within twenty (20) days after the same are prepared but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, accompanied by an unqualified opinion of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Agent; (b) within sixty (60) days after the end of each of such Dealers’ fiscal quarters, a reasonably detailed balance sheet and income statement as of the last day of such quarter covering Dealers’ operations on a consolidated basis for such quarter; (c) within thirty (30) days after the end of Dealers’ fiscal months, a reasonably detailed balance sheet and income statement as of the last day of such month covering Dealers’ operations for such month, on a consolidated basis; (d) within thirty (30) days prior to Dealers’ year-end, Dealers’ financial projections for the next fiscal year on a consolidated basis; (e) concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements required to be delivered under clauses (a) and (b), above, a compliance certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, executed by an officer of Dealers, and (f) within ten (10) days after Agent’s reasonable request, any other information relating to the Collateral or the financial condition of any Dealer or Dealers. Each Dealer represents that all financial statements and information which have been or may hereafter be delivered by Dealers are and will be true and correct in all

material respects and, with respect to all quarterly and annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied in all material respects, and there has been no material adverse change in the financial or business condition of Dealers, taken as a whole, since the submission to Agent of such financial statements, and Dealers acknowledge Agent’s reliance thereon.
9. Payment Terms. Each Dealer will pay Agent for the benefit of Lenders, the principal amount of the Obligations owed by such Dealer on each item of Collateral financed by Lenders upon the occurrence of any of the following events, subject to the Program Terms Letter: (a) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is the subject of an insurance claim payable to Agent as loss payee for the benefit of Lenders, (i) a portion of the principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral equal to such principal amount, minus the insurance claim amount (net of any applicable deductible) immediately after such loss or damage or after the determination of the claim amount or the deductible amount, as applicable, and (ii) the remaining principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral immediately upon the earlier of (A) receipt of any proceeds of such insurance (including, without limitation, receipt of any proceeds made payable to such Dealer and Agent jointly) or rejection or denial of such claim and (B) thirty (30) days (or such later date as Agent may agree in writing) after such loss or damage; (b) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is not the subject of an insurance claim payable to Agent as loss payee for the benefit of Lenders, immediately after such loss or damage; (c) when Collateral is sold, transferred, rented, leased, consigned (unless Dealer has complied with Agent’s documentation requirements and Agent has consented in writing to such consignment arrangement), otherwise disposed of, or its payment term has matured, immediately upon the earlier of (i) Dealer’s receipt of the proceeds thereof, and (ii) seven (7) calendar days after such occurrence; and (d) when otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each Dealer will pay Agent the required principal amount of the Obligations owed Lenders on each item of Collateral financed by Lenders in strict accordance with any curtailment schedule or other curtailment or repayment provisions for such Collateral as described in the Program Terms Letter. The initial payment terms, curtailment terms and advance rates with respect to Dealers’ financing program hereunder are set forth in the Program Terms Letter. Subsequent financing program terms, or changes to Dealers’ then current financing program terms, may be set forth in an amended Program Terms Letter executed by the parties hereto. If a Dealer is required to make immediate payment to Agent of any past due obligation discovered during any Collateral review, or at any other time, Agent’s acceptance of such payment shall not be construed to have waived or amended the terms of its financing program. Each Dealer will send all payments to Agent as directed. Agent may apply: (1) payments to reduce finance charges first and then principal, regardless of a Dealer’s instructions; and (2) principal payments to the oldest (earliest) invoice for Collateral financed by Lenders, but, in any event, all principal payments, may, in Agent’s sole discretion, first be applied to such Collateral which is sold, lost, stolen, damaged, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of or unaccounted for. Any Vendor Credit granted to any Dealer for any Collateral will not reduce the Obligations Dealers owe Lenders until Agent has received payment therefor in cash. Each Dealer will: (A) pay Agent even if any Collateral is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; and (B) indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any buyer of any Collateral. Each payment under the Loan Documents shall be paid in U.S. dollars and without setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Each Dealer waives all rights of setoff such Dealer may have against Agent or any Lender. Any payment hereunder which would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, with such extension of time included in any calculation of applicable finance charges. In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement, in order to adequately secure Dealers’ Obligations to Agent and Lenders, Dealers shall, at Agent’s request, immediately pay Agent the amount necessary to reduce the sum of outstanding advances hereunder to an amount which does not exceed the amount available to be borrowed pursuant to the provisions of the Program Terms Letter.
10. Calculation of Charges.
(a) Dealers shall pay fees, charges and interest (collectively, “Charges”) with respect to each advance in accordance with this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Program Terms Letter. Dealers shall pay Agent its customary Charges for any check or other item which is returned unpaid to Agent. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Charges: (i) any reference to “One month Libor” rate shall mean for any calendar month the “One month Libor” rate published in the “Money Rates”

column of The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of such month; (ii) all Charges shall be paid by Dealers monthly pursuant to the terms of the billing statement in which such Charges appear; (iii) interest on each advance and principal amount of the Obligations related thereto shall be computed each calendar month on the sum of the daily balances thereof during such month divided by thirty (30) and (A) in the case where a monthly rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by the monthly rate provided for in this Agreement; or (B) in the case where an annual rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by one-twelfth of the annual rate provided for in this Agreement; or (C) in the case where a daily rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by such daily rate and multiplied by thirty (30); (iv) interest on an advance shall begin to accrue on the “Start Date” which shall be defined as the earlier of: (A) the invoice date referred to in the Vendor’s Invoice; or (B) the ship date referred to in the Vendor’s Invoice; or (C) the date any one or more Lenders make such advance; provided, however, if a Vendor fails to fully pay, by honoring or paying any Lender Credit or otherwise, the interest or other cost of financing such inventory during the period between the Start Date and the end of the Free Floor Period, then Dealers shall pay such interest to Agent on behalf of Lenders on demand as if there were no Free Floor Period with respect to such inventory; (v) for the purpose of computing Charges, any payment will be credited pursuant to Agent’s payment recognition policy, as in effect from time to time; and (vi) advances or any part thereof not paid when due (and Charges not paid when due, at the option of Agent, shall become part of the principal amount of the Obligations and) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(b) Agent and Lenders intend to strictly conform to the usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein, in any Transaction Statement, or in any other document, neither Agent nor any Lender shall ever be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If Agent or any Lender ever receives any amount which, if considered to be interest, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, Agent or such Lender will apply such excess amount to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance which any Dealer owes, and then will pay any remaining excess to such Dealer. In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the highest lawful rate, Dealers, Agent and each Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (1) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (2) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof, and (3) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term. Agent will recognize and credit payments made by check, ACH, federal wire, or other acceptable means, according to its payment recognition policies from time to time in effect, or as otherwise agreed. Information regarding Agent payment recognition policies is available from Dealers’ Agent representative or the Agent website, or will be communicated pursuant to Section 11(b) of this Agreement.
11. Billing Statement/Fees; Right to Modify Charges and Other Terms.
(a) Agent will transmit or otherwise send to each Dealer a monthly billing statement identifying all charges due on such Dealer’s account pursuant to this Agreement. The charges specified on each billing statement will be (1) due and payable no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month in which such billing statement is transmitted to or received by Dealer, and (2) an account stated, unless Agent receives a Dealer’s written objection thereto within fifteen (15) days after it is transmitted or otherwise sent to Dealers. If Agent does not receive, by the 25th day of any given month, payment of all charges accrued to a Dealer’s account with any one or more Lenders during the immediately preceding month, Dealers will (to the extent allowed by law and if requested by Agent) pay Agent a late fee equal to the greater of five dollars ($5.00) or five percent (5%) of the amount of such charges (payment of such fee does not waive the default caused by the late payment). Agent may adjust the billing statement at any time to conform to applicable law and this Agreement.
(b) Agent may charge one or more fees in connection with the servicing and administration of a Dealer’s account, for its own account as set forth herein and in the Program Terms Letter (and for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders other than CDF, in its capacity as Agent, shall have no interest in any such fees).

(d) Dealers shall breach any covenant contained in Section 6(c) of this Agreement as of the end of two (2) consecutive fiscal months or as of the end of more than two (2) months in any twelve (12) month period;

(f) any letter of credit provided by a Dealer to Agent with respect to any Obligations or Collateral shall terminate or not be renewed at least sixty (60) days prior to its stated expiration or maturity;

(l) a material adverse change shall occur in the business, operations or financial condition of Dealers, taken as a whole;
(m) (i) a Dealer fails to make any payment in excess of [****] when due with respect to any Debt owed to any third party (including Lender Affiliates) of [****] or more in the aggregate and such failure shall continue after any applicable notice, grace or cure period therefor; or (ii) a default shall occur, or a Dealer shall give or receive notice of default, with respect to any Debt owed to any third party (including Lender Affiliates) of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or more in the aggregate and such default shall entitle such third party to declare such debt due and payable prior to its stated maturity or to exercise any other right or remedy or take any adverse action with respect thereto; or (iii) a default shall occur, or a Dealer shall give or receive notice of default, with respect to any Debt owed to any third party (including Lender Affiliates) of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or

more in the aggregate and such third party shall have declared such Debt due and payable prior to its stated maturity or exercised any other right or remedy or taken any adverse action with respect thereto;

COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.
Each Dealer waives notice of intent to accelerate, and of acceleration of any Obligations. If Agent requests, each Dealer shall cease disposition of and shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent, at Dealers’ expense, at a convenient place or places designated by Agent. Each Dealer agrees that the sale of inventory by Agent to a Person who is liable to Agent under a guaranty, endorsement, repurchase agreement or the like shall not be deemed to be a transfer subject to UCC §9-618 or any similar provision of any other applicable law, and each Dealer waives any provision of such laws to that effect. Each Dealer agrees that the repurchase of inventory by a Vendor pursuant to a repurchase agreement with Agent shall be a commercially reasonable method of disposition. Dealers shall be jointly and severally liable to Agent for any deficiency resulting from Agent’s disposition of any Collateral, including without limitation a repurchase by a Vendor, regardless of any subsequent disposition thereof. No Dealer is a beneficiary of, nor has any right to require Agent to enforce, any repurchase agreement. Any notice of a disposition shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given to a Dealer at least ten (10) days before such disposition. If a Dealer fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Agent may perform the same in any form or manner Agent in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable, and all monies paid by Agent in connection therewith shall be additional Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable without notice together with interest payable on demand at the Default Rate. All of Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative. At Agent’s request, or without request in the event of an Automatic Default, each Dealer shall pay all Vendor Credits to Agent as soon as the same are received for application to the Obligations. Each Dealer authorizes Agent to collect such amounts directly from Vendors and, upon request of Agent, shall instruct Vendors to pay Agent directly. Each Dealer irrevocably waives any requirement that Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after an arbitration hearing, arbitration award, confirmation, trial or final judgment or appeal thereof. During the continuation of a Default, Agent’s election to make or not make a Loan to a Dealer is solely at Agent’s discretion.
(b) All Collections received by Agent after acceleration, a Default (including, without limitation, a Payment Default or a Specified Default) or demand for payment of all of the Obligations, in connection with any workout of the Obligations including any forbearance arrangement, or after the initiation by or against any Dealer of a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding or other proceedings for collection of the Obligations, whether received pursuant to such demand or as a result of legal proceedings against any Dealer or through payment by or action against any other Person in any way liable for the Obligations, shall be applied, so far as the same will reach, in the following order:
(i) First, to the costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred solely by Agent in effecting such recovery, in enforcing any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, or in any way related to the Loans, the Outstandings, the Loan Documents, this Agreement, the Future Advances, Open Approvals or Collections;
(ii) Second, to accrued interest, ratably in accordance with each Lender’s respective Ratable Share of such interest being calculated at the interests rates set forth in Section 2(a)(vi) hereof; and
(iii) Third, to unpaid principal, ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Ratable Share, subject to such Lender’s obligation to fund Loans made by Agent based upon financed Invoices related to Open Approvals.
14. Power of Attorney. Each Dealer authorizes Agent to: (a) file financing statements describing Agent as “Secured Party,” such Dealer as “Debtor” and indicating the Collateral (including, without limitation, the indication of the Collateral as “all assets”); (b) authenticate, execute or endorse on behalf of such Dealer any instruments, chattel paper, certificates of title, manufacturer statements of origin, builder’s certificate, financing statements and amendments thereto, or other notices or records comprising or related to Collateral or evidencing financing under the Agreement or evidencing or maintaining the perfection of the security interest granted hereby, as attorney‑in‑fact for such Dealer; and (c) supply any omitted information and correct errors in any documents between Agent, such Dealer and, if applicable, Lenders. This power of attorney and the other powers of attorney granted herein are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
15. Collection and Other Costs. Dealers shall pay to Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Lenders, on demand all reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with

establishing, perfecting, maintaining perfection of, protecting and enforcing its Lien on the Collateral and collecting any Obligations, or in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and any modification thereof, any Default or in connection with any action or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or incurred pursuant to an arbitration proceeding involving a Dealer or any Collateral. All fees, expenses, costs and other amounts described in this Section 15 shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate.
16. Information. Each Dealer irrevocably authorizes Agent and each Lender to investigate and make inquiries in a commercially reasonable manner of former, current, or future creditors or other persons and credit bureaus regarding or relating to Dealers (including, to the extent permitted by law, any equity holders of any Dealer, unless the equity of such Dealer is publicly-traded on a recognized exchange). Information requested to be provided by Dealer shall be requested through Agent and provided to Agent for distribution to Lenders. Agent and each Lender may provide to any Lender Affiliate or any third parties any financial, credit or other information regarding Dealers that Agent or such Lender may at any time possess, whether such information was supplied by Dealers or otherwise obtained by such Agent or Lender, and such information shall be provided on a confidential basis to the extent it is otherwise confidential. Further, each Dealer irrevocably authorizes and instructs any third parties (including without limitation, any Vendors or customers of Dealers) to provide to Agent any credit, financial or other information regarding Dealers that such third parties may at any time possess, whether such information was supplied by any Dealer to such third parties or otherwise obtained by such third parties.
(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Program Terms Letter or the [****], and no consent with respect to any departure by any Dealer therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of Required Lenders), and the Dealers, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby (or by Agent with the consent of all the Lenders directly affected thereby), in addition to Agent and Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of Required Lenders) and the Dealers, do any of the following:
(i) increase or extend the Allocation of any Lender to make a Loan or otherwise finance any Collateral;
(ii) postpone or delay any date fixed for, or reduce or waive, any scheduled installment of principal or any payment of interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) due to any one or more Lenders hereunder or under any Transaction Statement, or extend the term of this Agreement as set forth in Section 19 below;
(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein or the amount of interest payable in cash specified herein or in any Transaction Statement, or of any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any Transaction Statement;
(iv) change the definition of Required Lenders;
(v) amend any provision providing for consent or other action by all Lenders; or
(vi) discharge any Dealer from its respective payment Obligations, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement;
it being agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed to be directly affected by an amendment or waiver of the type described in the preceding clauses (iv), (v) and (vi).

(b) If Agent desires to take any action described in this Section 17 requiring one or all Lender’s consent, Agent will furnish Lender with a written notice specifying the action to be taken. If Lender declines to give its consent to any such action, it must notify Agent in writing of such fact within ten (10) Business Days thereafter. If Lender fails to give such notice within such ten (10) Business Day period, its consent to such action shall be deemed to have been not given.
(c) No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any Transaction Statement.
18. Dealers’ Claims Against Vendors. No Dealer will assert against Agent or any Lender any claim or defense such Dealer may have against any Vendor whether for breach of contract, warranty, misrepresentation, failure to ship, lack of authority, or otherwise, including without limitation claims or defenses based upon charge backs, credit memos, rebates, price protection payments or returns. Any such claims or defenses or other claims or defenses a Dealer may have against a Vendor shall not affect Dealers’ liabilities or obligations to Agent or Lenders.
19. Term and Termination. Unless sooner terminated as provided in this Agreement, the term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and continue until October 30, 2018 and, if Agent provides written notice to Dealers of Agent’s intent to renew the current term at least (ninety) 90 days prior to the end of the then current term, at Agent’s sole election and subject to Dealer’s consent, the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for up to two successive one year periods thereafter. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. Upon any termination, Dealers shall remain fully and jointly and severally liable to each Lender for all Obligations owed to such Lender, including without limitation all fees, expenses and charges, arising prior to or after termination, and each Lender’s rights and remedies and security interest, if any, shall continue until all Obligations to such Lender hereunder are paid and all obligations of Dealers are performed in full. All waivers and indemnifications in Agent’s and each Lender’s favor, and the agreement to arbitrate, set forth in this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
20. Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.
(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Dealers, Agent and the Lenders and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of Dealers, Agent and each Lender and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided herein, no Dealer shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.
(b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Allocation and its rights and obligations with respect to any Loan pursuant to any Loan Document) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate of any existing Lender or (iii) any other Person (other than a Disqualified Person) approved in writing by Agent and a Dealer, which Dealer approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed to have been given if no Dealer provides a response to a request for approval within ten (10) Business Days after such request is sent (provided that no Dealer approval shall be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that (w) for each Loan pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable assignment) of the Allocation subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of Agent, (x) such Sales shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such Sale by Agent, and (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned. “Disqualified Person” means any business competitor of any Dealer that is in the same or similar line of business as any Dealer (other than the business of providing financial services) and such competitor has been identified as such in a writing by any Dealer delivered to Agent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20, any Lender may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any prospective assignee, SPV or rating agency rating the obligations of such Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CDF, as Agent and/or a Lender, has the right to complete a Sale of all or any portion of its interest in the Loan and Loan Documents to any Person in connection with a sale or other transfer of all or a material portion of CDF’s business to a third party, without the consent of any Dealer or any Lender.
(c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Loan Document subject to such Sale, any tax forms required by the assignee to be delivered and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 20(b), upon Agent (and Dealers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause the information contained in such Assignment to be recorded in a record of ownership kept by Agent.
(d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in a record of ownership, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Transactions Statement have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Statements, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(e) Participants and Grant of Option to Fund to SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 20, each Lender may, (i) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (ii) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Dealers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (A) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (B) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Dealers and other Lenders towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in any register maintained by Agent, except that each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case shall an SPV granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (C) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 17(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled.

(f) Assignments to Affiliate SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided elsewhere in this Section 20, each Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent may, with notice to Agent in such form as shall be acceptable to the Agent (but without the consent of any Person and without compliance with any limitation or procedure specified in subsection 20(b) or 20(c)), sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or any portion of its rights, title or interests hereunder with respect to any Loans or other Obligations (including any interest accrued or to accrue thereon) to an SPV that is an Affiliate of such Lender, and such SPV may thereafter, with notice to Agent, assign such Obligation to any other SPV that is an Affiliate of such Lender or re-assign all or a portion of its interests in any Obligations to the Lender holding the related Allocation. Upon any assignment pursuant to this clause (f), any assignee SPV shall have all the rights of a Lender hereunder, including the right to receive all payments with respect to the assigned Obligations; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such assignment, no such assignee SPV shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and such Lender (and not such SPV) shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender to continue to make Loans hereunder.
(g) Agreements with Respect to SPVs. No party hereto shall institute against any SPV that funds or purchases any Obligation pursuant to clauses (e) or (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Loans and the payment in full of the Obligations. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20, any SPV may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency rating the obligations of such SPV. For the avoidance of doubt, an SPV that is a securitization trust formed by or at the direction of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, as depositor, shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Lender.
(h) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Dealers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(i) Each Lender hereby appoints CDF as Agent (together with any successor Agent pursuant to Section 21(i)) as Agent hereunder and authorizes Agent to (A) execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Dealer, (B) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Agent under such Loan Documents and (C) exercise such powers as are incidental thereto.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (A) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with any Loan Documents (including in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby

(iii) Under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent (A) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders , with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (B) is not assuming any obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Person and (C) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document, and each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (A) through (C) above.

Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:
(A) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent);
(B) shall not be responsible to any Lender or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document;
(C) makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Lender or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Dealer or any Related Person of any Dealer in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any Dealer, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Loan Documents;
(D) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Dealer or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from any Dealer, any Lender describing such Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);
For each of the items set forth in clauses (A) through (D) above, each Lender and each Dealer hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each Dealer shall cause each other Dealer to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.

(iii) Each Lender (A) acknowledges that it has performed and will continue to perform its own diligence and has made and will continue to make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Lenders and (B) agrees that is shall not rely on any audit or other report provided by Agent or its Related Persons (an “Agent Report”). Each Lender further acknowledges that any Agent Report (i) is provided to the Lenders solely as a courtesy, without consideration, and based upon the understanding that such Lender will not rely on such Agent Report, (ii) was prepared by Agent or its Related Persons based upon information provided by the Lenders solely for Agent’s own internal use, (iii) may not be complete and may not reflect all information and findings obtained by Agent or its Related Persons regarding the operations and condition of the Lenders. Neither Agent nor any of its Related Persons makes any representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing, (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation, (iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s and its Related Persons’ due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation, and (iv) any work performed by Agent or Agent’s Related Persons in connection with or using any Agent Report or any related documentation.
(iv) Neither Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall have any duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of any Lender receiving a copy of any Agent Report.

Each Lender releases, and agrees that it will not assert, any claim against Agent or its Related Persons that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its Related Persons from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender arising out of such Lender’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents.
(f) Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock of, engage in any kind of business with, any Dealer or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the term “Lender” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender.
(g) Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Dealer and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Agent to the Lenders, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Dealer or any Affiliate of any Dealer that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons.

paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Dealer) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
(ii) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Dealer), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including, to the extent not indemnified by Dealer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
(iii) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(i) Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Dealer in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted as a “purchase money security interest” hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Lenders, upon (A) termination of this Agreement, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations, in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Lender that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding contingent Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and (D) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Lenders of liability releases from the Lenders each in form and substance acceptable to Agent.

22. Non-Funding Lenders; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Non-Funding Lenders.
(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan or any payment required by it under any Loan Document on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Loan or make any other such required payment on such date, and neither Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or make any other required payment under any Loan Document.
(ii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans included in the determination of “Required Lenders”) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A) the Allocation of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender.
(iii) Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Lenders. Following such payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, Agent shall be entitled to hold such funds as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Allocation and to use such amount to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Loans, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Loan and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the proceeds of such Loans shall be applied to pay the unpaid principal of the Loans owing to the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Loans are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to the Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (iv) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender.
(iv) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender (A) fully pays to Agent the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.
(v) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Dealers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Line Fee (set forth in the Program Terms Letter) during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. Within forty-five (45) days after any failure by any Lender other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, Dealers may, at their option, notify Agent and such non-consenting Lender of Dealers’ intention to obtain, at Dealers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such non-consenting Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event the Dealers obtain a Replacement Lender within sixty (60) days following notice of its intention to do so, such non-consenting Lender shall sell and assign its Loans and remaining Allocation to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Dealers have reimbursed such non-consenting Lender for its costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 20(c) of this Agreement within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this section and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this section, the Dealers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by the Dealers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 22(b) and Section 20(c). Upon any such Assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 20(c), such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.
23. Notices. Except as required by law or as otherwise provided herein, all notices or other communications to be given under the Agreement or under the UCC shall be in writing served either personally, by deposit with a reputable overnight courier with charges prepaid, or by deposit in the United States mail, first‑class postage prepaid or provided for, addressed, as applicable, to (a) Dealers at their chief executive offices shown below or to any office to which Agent sends billing statements, (b) to Agent at its address shown beneath its signature hereunder, to the attention of its Credit Department, (c) to any Lender at the address such Lender shall designate on the Loan Document, or (d) at such other address designated by such party by notice to the other. Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of personal delivery, one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail except that any notice of change of address shall not be effective until actually received.
24. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or its application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be impaired or affected and will remain binding and enforceable.
25. Receipt of Agreement. Each Dealer acknowledges that it has received a true and complete copy of this Agreement. Each Dealer has read and understands this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may rely on any facsimile copy, electronic data transmission, or electronic data storage of: this Agreement, any Transaction Statement, billing statement, financing statement, authorization to pre-file financing statements, invoice from a Vendor, financial statements or other reports, which will be deemed an original, and the best evidence thereof for all purposes.
26. Acceptance by Agent. If Agent is the sole Lender, Agent may accept this Agreement by issuance of an approval to a Vendor for the purchase of inventory by Dealers or by making an advance hereunder.
27. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence regarding each Dealer’s performance of its obligations to Agent and Lenders. Each Dealer’s liability to Agent and Lenders is direct and unconditional and will not be affected by the release or nonperfection of any security interest granted hereunder. Subject to the consent of each Lender, Agent may refrain from or postpone enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreements between Agent and a Dealer without prejudice, and the failure to strictly enforce these agreements will not create a course of dealing which waives, amends or modifies such agreements. Any waiver by Agent of a Default shall only be effective if approved by Lenders pursuant to Section 17(a) and transmitted to a Dealer in a writing signed by Agent. The express terms of this Agreement will not be modified by any course of dealing, usage of trade, or custom of trade which may deviate from the terms hereof. If a Dealer fails to pay any

rules are to be applied for all disputes between the parties. The arbitration rules are currently found at xxx.xxx.xxx for AAA, and at xxx.xxxx-xxxxxxx.xxx for USA&M. AAA claims may be filed in any AAA office. Claims filed with USA&M shall be filed in its Midwest office located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xx. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000. All arbitrator(s) selected will be attorneys with at least five (5) years secured transactions experience. A panel of three arbitrators shall hear all claims exceeding One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), exclusive of interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator(s) will decide if any inconsistency exists between the rules of the applicable arbitral forum and the arbitration provisions contained herein.

The arbitrator shall follow the terms of this Agreement and the applicable law, including without limitation, the attorney-client privilege and the attorney work product doctrine.
(c) Hearings. Each party hereby consents to a documentary hearing for all arbitration claims by submitting the dispute to the arbitrator(s) by written briefs and affidavits, along with relevant documents. However, arbitration claims will be submitted by way of an oral hearing if any party requests an oral hearing within forty (40) days after service of the claim and that party remits the appropriate deposit for fees and arbitrator compensation within ten (10) days of making the request. Each party agrees that failure to timely pay all fees and arbitrator compensation billed to the party requesting the oral hearing will be deemed such party’s consent to submitting the Dispute to the arbitrator on documents and such party’s waiver of its request for an oral hearing. The site of all oral arbitration hearings will be in the Division of the Federal Judicial District in which the designated arbitration association maintains a regional office that is closest to Dealers.
(d) Discovery. Discovery permitted in any arbitration proceeding commenced hereunder is limited as follows.

No later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the oral arbitration hearing, the parties will exchange a final list of all exhibits and all witnesses, including any designation of any expert witness(es) together with a summary of their testimony; a copy of all documents and a detailed description of any property to be introduced at the hearing. Under no circumstances will the use of interrogatories, requests for admission, requests for the production of documents or the taking of depositions be permitted. However, in the event of the designation of any expert witness(es), the following will occur: (i) all information and documents relied upon by the expert witness(es) will be delivered to the opposing party; (ii) the opposing party will be permitted to depose the expert witness(es); (iii) the opposing party will be permitted to designate rebuttal expert witness(es); and (iv) the arbitration hearing will be continued to the earliest possible date that enables the foregoing limited discovery to be accomplished.
(e) Exemplary or Punitive Damages. The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award exemplary or punitive damages.
(f) Confidentiality of Awards. All arbitration proceedings, including testimony or evidence at hearings, will be kept confidential, although any award or order rendered by the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be confirmed as a judgment or order in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the federal judicial district which includes the residence of the party against whom such award or order was entered. This Agreement concerns transactions involving commerce among the several states. The Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq., as amended (“FAA”) will govern all arbitration(s) and confirmation proceedings hereunder.
(g) Prejudgment and Provisional Remedies. Nothing herein will be construed to prevent Agent’s or a Dealer’s use of bankruptcy, receivership, injunction, repossession, replevin, claim and delivery, sequestration, seizure, attachment, foreclosure, and/or any other prejudgment or provisional action or remedy relating to any Collateral for any current or future debt owed by either party to the other. Any such action or remedy will not waive Agent’s or a Dealer’s right to compel arbitration of any Dispute.
(h) Attorneys’ Fees. If either a Dealer or Agent brings any other action for judicial relief with respect to any Dispute (other than those set forth in Sections 30(a) or 30(g) of this Agreement), the party bringing such action will be liable for and immediately pay all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’

fees) incurred to stay or dismiss such action and remove or refer such Dispute to arbitration. If either a Dealer or Agent brings or appeals an action to vacate or modify an arbitration award and such party does not prevail, such party will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in defending such action. Additionally, if a Dealer sues Agent or institutes any arbitration claim or counterclaim against Agent in which Agent is the prevailing party, Dealers will pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in the course of defending such action or proceeding.
(i) Limitations. Any arbitration proceeding must be instituted: (i) with respect to any Dispute for the collection of any debt owed by either party to the other, within two (2) years after the date the last payment by or on behalf of the payor was received and applied in respect of such debt by the payee; and (ii) with respect to any other Dispute, within two (2) years after the date the incident giving rise thereto occurred, whether or not any damage was sustained or capable of ascertainment or either party knew of such incident. Failure to institute an arbitration proceeding within such period will constitute an absolute bar and waiver to the institution of any proceeding, whether arbitration or a court proceeding, with respect to such Dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this limitations provision will be suspended temporarily as of the date any of the following events occur and will not resume until the date following the date either party is no longer subject to (A) bankruptcy, (B) receivership, (C) any proceeding regarding an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (D) any legal proceeding, civil or criminal, which prohibits either party from foreclosing any interest it might have in the collateral of the other party.
(j) Survival After Termination. The agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of this Agreement.
31. Multiple Dealers; Joint and Several Liability; Designation of Authorized Representatives.
(a) All Loans and advances by Lenders to any Dealer and all other Obligations of any Dealer shall constitute one general obligation of all of the Dealers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dealers shall be primarily and jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of any Dealer under this Agreement and any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a Dealer is deemed to be a guarantor of another Dealer hereunder, such Dealer’s liability for any credit extended to or for the benefit of such other Dealer shall be deemed to be a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Dealer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notices of any nature whatsoever with respect to any of the Obligations, and any requirement that Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Dealer, any other Person or any Collateral. Each Dealer agrees that any rights of subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights it may have against any other Dealer with respect to its liability hereunder or otherwise, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law, shall be subject, junior and subordinate in all respect to all Obligations of such Dealer under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and that the enforcement of such rights shall be stayed until such time as the Dealers shall have indefeasibly paid in full all of the Obligations and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any duty to make a Loan to or for the benefit of any Dealer. The liability of each Dealer shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other agreement between or among Agent, Dealers and, if applicable, Lenders (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty or any release of any guarantor or any other Person liable in whole or in part for all or any of the Obligations, (iii) the disallowance or avoidance of all or any portion the claim(s) of Agent or any Lender for repayment of the Obligations of any guarantor to Agent or any interest of Agent or any Lender in any security for such Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, a Dealer or a guarantor or any other surety.
(b) Each Dealer (each, a “Principal”) hereby appoints each other Dealer (each, a “Dealer Representative”) as the Principal’s agent and attorney-in-fact (1) to take any action, (2) to execute any document or instrument, (3) to consent or agree to any amendment or other modification of this Agreement

and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Lender and/or any waiver of or departure from any of the terms hereof or thereof, (4) to perform any Obligation of the Principal, and (5) to give or receive any notice by or to any Dealer hereunder or thereunder; and in each case without regard to whether any such action is done in the name of a Dealer Representative or a Principal and, if done in the name of a Dealer Representative, without regard to whether such Dealer Representative’s capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact is so designated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Dealer Representative may request extensions of credit to or on behalf of any one or more of the Dealers and/or incur any other Obligations for the account of any one or more of the Dealers, and in any such event all of the Dealers shall be fully and jointly and severally bound by and liable for the actions of such Dealer Representative. Lender shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by a Dealer Representative under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Lender (including without limitation, any request by a Dealer Representative to make credit extensions to or on behalf of itself and/or any one or more other Dealers) until three (3) Business Days after Lender shall have received written notice from each Principal of the revocation of this agency and power of attorney, which revocation shall constitute a Default.
(c) Each Dealer hereby authorizes any officer (and the Cash Manager and Treasury Manager in connection with (i) remittances to and from the [****], and (ii) requests pre-owned inventory advances pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement) to act on behalf of such Dealer in connection with this Agreement, the certificates and documents contemplated hereby, and the transactions referenced herein and therein. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by such authorized persons under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Agent (including without limitation, any request by such authorized representative to make credit extensions to or on behalf of such Dealer) until three (3) Business Days after Agent shall have received written notice from such Dealer of the revocation of such Person’s authority and the identity of each additional Person authorized to act on behalf of such Dealer thereafter.
32. Governing Law. This Agreement and all agreements between or among Agent and any one or more Lenders and/or any one or more Dealers have been substantially negotiated and will be substantially performed in the state of Illinois. All Disputes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of such state, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of the FAA, which will control and govern all arbitration proceedings hereunder.
33. INVALIDITY/UNENFORCEABILITY OF BINDING ARBITRATION. IF THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO BE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. DEALERS AND AGENT WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. SIMILARLY, IF THIS AGREEMENT OR A PARTICULAR DISPUTE HEREUNDER IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, DEALERS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN ILLINOIS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH DEALERS MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
