of Chattanooga, LLC (Borrower) 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx
00000.
1. BACKGROUND. Borrower hereby requests Bank to extend to it a line of credit
(Line) to purchase inventory to be secured by Borrower's Collateral
described in paragraph 7 (Collateral). Bank agrees to extend the Line
subject to the terms of this Agreement.
2. THE LINE OF CREDIT. Bank extends to Borrower a Line in the amount of
$2,500,000.00 or such other amount as may be set by Bank from time to time.
Before maturity or demand, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
hereunder at anytime, up to an aggregate amount outstanding at any one time
equal to the principal amount of Note, provided, however, that Borrower is
not in default of any provision of Note, Floor Plan Agreement, Security
Agreement or any other agreement or obligation between Borrower and Bank.
Any sums Bank may Advance in excess of the face amount of the Note shall
also be part of the principal amount the Borrower is obligated to pay Bank
and shall be subject to all the terms of the Note, Security Agreement, and
this Floor Plan Agreement. The Bank's records of the amounts borrowed from
time to time shall be conclusive proof thereof. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that notwithstanding any provisions of any Note, Floor Plan
Agreement, Security Agreement or any other documents executed in connection
with a Note, Floor Plan Agreement and Security Agreement, the Bank has no
obligation to make any Advance, and that all Advances are at the sole
discretion of Bank.
3. NOTE. Debt under the Line shall be evidenced by Borrower's Floor Plan
Promissory Note (Note).
4. RATE. Debt under the Line shall bear interest as set forth in the Note.
5. DUE DATES.
(a) Unpaid principal and interest hereon shall be due and payable as set
forth in the Note, and as set forth below. Unless Borrower is in
default under the terms of any Security Agreement securing the Note,
this Floor Plan Agreement or any other agreement relating to this
Floor Plan Agreement, upon sale of inventory, Borrower will pay to
Bank at the earlier of Borrower's receipt of payment for that item of
inventory or three (3) business days after that item of inventory is
1
delivered to the customer or otherwise disposed of, cash in the amount
equal to the original amount advanced less any curtailment payments
made with respect to the item sold. If Borrower is in default at time
of sale, all proceeds of sale will immediately be remitted to Bank and
applied to debt hereunder.
(b) Curtailment payments based on the original amount advanced with
respect to specific items of inventory shall be paid from time to time
by Borrower as provided for in Addendum "A" attached hereto and made a
part hereof for all purposes as if copied word for word herein.
6. USE OF LINE AND ADVANCES.
(a) The Advances under this Line shall be exclusively for the purpose of
purchasing inventory to be displayed and demonstrated in conjunction
with the sale of the inventory in the ordinary course of Borrower's
business unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Bank. Borrower
agrees not to use the inventory for any other purpose without the
prior written approval of Bank. The term "Advance" as used in this
Agreement shall mean the dollar amount loaned by Bank on a motor
vehicle financed under a floor plan line of credit and includes but is
not limited to any charge against, debit against, draft against, or
draw against the line of credit. Advances under the Line (Advances)
shall be made against and in payment of drafts drawn on Bank or in
accordance with the written request of Borrower executed by the person
signing this Agreement on behalf of Borrower or a person hereafter
designated in writing by Borrower.
(b) Units of inventory which may be presented as Collateral as well as the
amount of outstanding debt permitted at any one time in connection
with the particular type of Collateral being financed shall be in
accordance with Addendum "B".
(c) Bank may reject as Collateral hereunder any item of inventory which is
received by Borrower in damaged condition. Bank has no obligation to
inspect inventory for damage before paying drafts. If Bank has paid a
draft on damaged inventory, Borrower shall direct the manufacturer to
refund all payments directly to Bank. If the manufacturer fails to
make the refund within thirty (30) days, Borrower shall reduce the
debt outstanding under the Line by the amount Advanced against the
damaged item.
(d) Borrower will submit or cause to be submitted to Bank invoices or
bills of sale representing the actual cost to Borrower of the
inventory. Bank may advance an amount equal to Borrower's cost (not to
exceed NADA wholesale value in the case of used motor vehicles) or
such part of the cost thereof as Bank elects at its sole discretion.
The Advance may be disbursed to Borrower or the manufacturer or others
from whom Borrower purchases inventory. Presentation of drafts or
other requests for payment by manufacturers or others from whom
Borrower
2
purchases inventory shall constitute requests by Borrower that Bank
lend Borrower the amount of such drafts or other requests for payment
pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) A fee in the amount of $0.00 shall be paid by Borrower for each unit
of inventory presented as Collateral to obtain Advances. The fee shall
be paid monthly by Borrower.

Collateral, and all proceeds thereof (Collateral) to secure all debt of
Borrower to Bank under any and all present and future Advances of whatever

and other obligations of Borrower to Bank of any nature now existing or
hereafter arising, including but not limited to debt arising directly
between Borrower and Bank or acquired outright, conditionally or as
Collateral security from another by Bank, absolute or contingent, joint or
several, secured or unsecured, due or not due, contractual or tortious,
liquidated or unliquidated, arising under the operation of law or
otherwise, direct or indirect, whether incurred directly or as part of a

surety, indorser, accommodation party or otherwise. Borrower will execute
and deliver any documents, instruments or agreements required by Bank to
evidence debt hereunder, grant, perfect and preserve the security interest,
and otherwise carry out the terms of this Agreement. The security interest
herein described is also evidenced by a Security Agreement between Borrower
and Bank, and in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms thereof, the terms hereof will apply.

within thirty (30) days of notice to mediate given by either party, the
controversy shall be settled by arbitration and shall be governed by the
United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ss. 1-16, (or if not applicable,
the applicable state law), and judgment upon the award rendered by the
Arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
parties recognize that Bank could be prejudiced by not being able to
foreclose on property pledged as Collateral to Bank. The parties agree that
nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) limit the applicability of
any otherwise applicable statutes of limitation or repose and any waivers
contained in this Agreement; or (ii) be a waiver by the Bank of the
protection afforded to it by 12 U.S.C. Sec. 91 or any substantially
equivalent state law; or (iii) limit the right of the Bank hereto (a) to
exercise self help remedies such as (but not limited to) setoff, or (b) to
foreclose against any real or personal property collateral, or (c) to
obtain from a court provisional or ancillary remedies such as (but not
limited to) injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver. The Bank
may exercise such self help rights, foreclose upon such property, or obtain
such provisional or ancillary remedies before, during or after the pendency
of any arbitration proceeding brought pursuant to this agreement. At Bank's
option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be accomplished
by any of the following: the exercise of a power of sale under the deed of
trust or mortgage, or by judicial sale under the deed of trust or mortgage,
or by judicial foreclosure. Neither this exercise of self help remedies nor
the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional
or ancillary remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any party,
including the claimant in any such action, to arbitrate the merits of the
controversy or claim occasioning resort to such remedies.

terms of this Floor Plan Agreement shall control and be the final
agreement.

Security Agreement or Note. Any such inconsistent terms are of no effect.

Agreement indebtedness is hereafter subject to all of the terms and
provisions of this Floor Plan Agreement, and the outstanding principal
11
