available to Borrower such Lender’s pro-rata share (as listed on Exhibit 3
hereto) of an “Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility” that is (A) Eighty Million
Dollars ($80,000,000) plus, if applicable, (B) at any time, the unused portion
of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility, by funding such Lender’s pro-rata
share thereof as provided for herein. Each Lender’s Floorplan Loan
Facility is its pro-rata share of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan
Facility. All Floorplan Loan Advances and Interim Floorplan Loan
Advances will be made directly to approved Vendors and not to the
Borrower. No Floorplan Loan Advance will be made which would result
in either: (i) the sum of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan, the Interim Floorplan
Loan, and all unfunded Approvals, exceeding Total Aggregate Facility Limit; or
(ii) the Lenders’ Exposure exceeding the Total Aggregate Facility
Limit. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, payments and
prepayments that are applied to reduce the Aggregate Floorplan Loan may be
re-borrowed through subsequent Floorplan Loan Advances, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The Aggregate
Floorplan Loan Facility is not a commitment to lend or advance funds but is a
discretionary facility. From and after the date on which the
Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of an Event of Default under Section
16.1.1 or under Section 16.1.12, no further Approvals will be issued and except
with respect to existing unfunded Approvals, no further Floorplan Loan Advances
shall be made. From and after the date on which Administrative Agent
has actual knowledge of any other Event of Default, no further Approvals will be
issued if the Administrative Agent so chooses in its discretion to no longer
issue Approvals or if the Required Lenders direct the Administrative Agent to no
longer issue Approvals, and except with respect to existing unfunded Approvals,
no further Floorplan Loan Advances shall be made.”

Limit. Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement is deleted and
replaced with the following:
“3.6. Total Aggregate Facility
Limit. Notwithstanding the Commitments herein or anything else
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary,

time shall the Aggregate Revolving Loan, the Swingline Loan, the Aggregate
Floorplan Loan, the Interim Floorplan Loan, the Letter of Credit Exposure and
