If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loan(s) shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans using the Daily LIBOR Rate. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(d) Procedures Concerning the Making of Loans. Following receipt of a Loan Notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage Share of the requested Borrowings. If Borrower does not timely provide notice of a conversion or continuation, then Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender shall make the amount of its applicable Loan available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Administrative Agent either by: (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Xxxxx Fargo with the amount of such funds; or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Administrative Agent by Borrower; provided that, if, on the date the Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds

of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and, second, to Borrower as provided in this subsection.

(e) Special Provisions Applicable to Continuation or Conversions of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default: (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of Required Lenders; and (ii) Required Working Capital Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Working Capital Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans, whereupon Borrower shall pay any amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion.

(f) Notification of Interest Rate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the applicable Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.

(g) Limitation on Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Working Capital Loans and Floorplan Loans.

Such L/C Application must be received by L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as may be agreed to by each of Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, each in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Working Capital Letter of Credit or a Floorplan Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as L/C Issuer may require.

Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent may require.

Unless L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Floorplan Lender or Working Capital Lender, as applicable, Administrative Agent or any Loan Party at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit that one or more applicable conditions in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue the Letter of Credit requested by Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business

practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Floorplan Letter of Credit, each Floorplan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Floorplan Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the face amount of such Floorplan Letter of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Working Capital Letter of Credit, each Working Capital Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Working Capital Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Working Capital Percentage Share multiplied by the face amount of such Working Capital Letter of Credit.

(iii) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(iv) If Borrower specifically requests in any applicable L/C Application, L/C Issuer may issue an Automatic Extension Letter of Credit. Unless otherwise directed by L/C Issuer, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Automatic Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, Floorplan Lenders or Working Capital Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided that L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if: (A) L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise); or (B) L/C Issuer has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is thirty days before any date provided for in such Automatic Extension Letter of Credit as the last day by which notice of the non-extension thereof must be given: (1) from Administrative Agent that Required Floorplan Lenders or Required Working Capital Lenders, as applicable, have elected not to permit such extension; or (2) from Administrative Agent, any Floorplan Lender or Working Capital Lender, as applicable, or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(v) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of each calendar quarter, the L/C Issuer (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall report to each Lender all Letters of Credit issued by it during the previous calendar quarter and the average daily undrawn and unexpired amounts for all Letters of Credit for each day in such calendar quarter. The L/C Issuer (or the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent agrees to undertake such action) shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of each outstanding Floorplan Letter of Credit denominated in any Foreign Currency as of each Revaluation Date and shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such calculation, and such calculation shall be the basis of any determination of the amount of outstanding Floorplan L/C Obligations for purposes hereof until the next such calculation.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations — Floorplan Letters of Credit.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Floorplan Letter of Credit of any drawing under such Floorplan Letter of Credit (or any notice thereof), L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of the date and, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount thereof. If L/C Issuer shall make any payment in respect of a Floorplan Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse L/C Issuer the amount of such payment not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related Honor Date if Borrower shall have received notice of such payment prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such Honor Date, then not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the L/C Issuer at its address for notices specified herein in the currency in which such Floorplan Letter of Credit is denominated (except that, in the case of any Floorplan Letter of Credit denominated in any Foreign Currency, in the event that such payment is not made to the L/C Issuer on the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice, such payment shall be made in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such payment) and in Same Day Funds. If Borrower fails to so reimburse L/C Issuer, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Floorplan Lender of the related Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share of such Unreimbursed Amount. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Floorplan Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such Honor Date in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Floorplan Commitments (after giving effect to the reduction or termination of the related Letter of Credit). Any notice given by L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. Any conversion by the L/C Issuer of any payment to be made by the Borrower in respect of any Floorplan Letter of Credit denominated in any Foreign Currency into Dollars in accordance with this Section (using the conversion mechanism set forth in the definition of Dollar Equivalent) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error; provided that upon the request of any Lender, the L/C Issuer shall provide to such Lender a certificate including reasonably detailed information as to the calculation of such conversion.

(ii) Each Floorplan Lender shall, upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i), make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the Dollar Equivalent of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Floorplan Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount on the Honor Date. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Floorplan Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans because of the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing on the Honor Date in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the Unreimbursed

Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Floorplan Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Floorplan Lender funds its Floorplan Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of the amount of such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Floorplan Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Floorplan Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of L/C Issuer submitted to any Floorplan Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations — Working Capital Letters of Credit.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Working Capital Letter of Credit of any drawing under such Working Capital Letter of Credit (or any notice thereof), L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. If L/C Issuer shall make any payment in respect of a Working Capital Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse L/C Issuer the amount of such payment not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related Honor Date if Borrower shall have received notice of such payment prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such Honor Date, then not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice. If Borrower

fails to so reimburse L/C Issuer, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Working Capital Lender of the related Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Lender’s Working Capital Percentage Share of such Unreimbursed Amount. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Working Capital Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on such Honor Date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Working Capital Commitments (after giving effect to the reduction or termination of the related Letter of Credit). Any notice given by L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(d)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Working Capital Lender shall, upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i), make funds available to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to such Lender’s Working Capital Percentage Share multiplied by the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(d)(iii), each Working Capital Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Working Capital Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount on the Honor Date. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Working Capital Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans because of the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing on the Honor Date in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Working Capital Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Working Capital Lender funds its Working Capital Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) to reimburse L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of the amount of such Lender’s Working Capital Percentage Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Working Capital Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(d), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such making of an

L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by L/C Issuer under any Working Capital Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Working Capital Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d) by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(ii), L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of L/C Issuer submitted to any Working Capital Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Floorplan Lender or Working Capital Lender, as applicable, such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c) or Section 2.03(d), Administrative Agent receives for the account of L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender an amount that equals its Floorplan Percentage Share or Working Capital Percentage Share, as applicable, thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) or Section 2.03(d)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Floorplan Lender or Working Capital Lender, as applicable, shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of L/C Issuer an amount equal to its Floorplan Percentage Share or Working Capital Percentage Share, as applicable, thereof on the demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Floorplan Lenders and Working Capital Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any other Loan Party.

Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify L/C Issuer in writing. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(g) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Floorplan Lender, Working Capital Lender, and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties and any correspondent, participant or assignee of L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or not taken, at the request or with the approval of Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, in connection with a Letter of Credit or any Issuer Document; (ii) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, any action taken or not taken in connection with a Letter of Credit or any Issuer Document; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. As between Borrower and L/C Issuer, Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have

against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties and any correspondent, participant or assignee of L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(f); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in such clauses, Borrower may have a claim against L/C Issuer, and L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Borrower that Borrower proves were caused by L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any document transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(h) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, if L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that remains outstanding after payment thereof is due from Borrower, or if, on or after the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation remains outstanding for any reason without the consent of all Lenders, then Borrower shall, in each such case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations with an amount equal to 102.00% of such Outstanding Amount. Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of L/C Issuer, Floorplan Lenders, and Working Capital Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.

(i) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by L/C Issuer and Borrower when a standby Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to such Letter of Credit.

(j) L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (i) for the account of each Floorplan Lender in accordance with its Floorplan Percentage Share a fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Floorplan Letters of Credit and (ii) for the account of each Working Capital Lender in accordance with its Working Capital Percentage Share a fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Working Capital Letters of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Fee”). For purposes of computing the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit, the amount of each Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.02(i). L/C Fees shall be: (A) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (B) due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (in each case for the calendar quarter then ending), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, then the actual daily amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, upon written notice to Borrower from

Required Floorplan Lenders or Required Working Capital Lenders, as applicable, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(k) Fees of L/C Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to L/C Issuer for its own account such fees with respect to each Letter of Credit as are set forth in the Fee Letter and any other customary fees.

(l) Conflict with Issuer Documents. If a conflict exists between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

SECTION 2.04 SWING LINE LOANS.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Floorplan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day from the Closing Date through the tenth (10th) Business Day immediately preceding the last day of the Floorplan Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Floorplan Percentage Share of the Outstanding Amount of Floorplan Loans acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Floorplan Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan: (i) the Total Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed Floorplan Availability; and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Floorplan Loans of any Floorplan Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender in such capacity), plus such other Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Floorplan Commitment. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Floorplan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the amount of such Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (ii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan if (A) prior thereto or simultaneously therewith the Borrower shall not have borrowed Floorplan Loans or (B) any Floorplan Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and the Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender cannot be fully reallocated pursuant to Section 3.08(a).

(b) Swing Line Borrowing Procedures. Unless the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by Swing Line Lender as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 2.04, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and must specify: (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000.00 or a whole multiple of $50,000.00 in excess thereof; (ii) the requested borrowing date, which must be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless (A) the Swing

Line has been terminated or suspended by Swing Line Lender, or (B) Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Floorplan Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (1) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (2) that at least one of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in the related Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower at its office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. Floorplan Lenders agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Floorplan Lenders hereunder other than notifying Administrative Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on the 15th day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and on the last Business Day of each month during the term hereof shall request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Floorplan Lender make a Floorplan Loan that is a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Friday (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Floorplan Commitments (after giving effect to the termination of such Swing Line Loan). Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Administrative Agent. Each Floorplan Lender shall make an amount equal to its Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the aggregate amount of the requested Floorplan Loans specified in such Loan Notice available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Floorplan Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason the outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans cannot be refinanced by such a Floorplan Borrowing because of the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), then the request for Floorplan Loans that are Base Rate Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each Floorplan Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Floorplan Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Floorplan Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Floorplan Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Floorplan Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Floorplan Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) If, at any time after any Floorplan Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, then Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender an amount equal to its Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Floorplan Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its Floorplan Percentage Share multiplied by the amount to be returned on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Floorplan Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on Swing Line Loans. Until each Floorplan Lender funds its

Floorplan Loan that is a Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Floorplan Percentage Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such proportionate share shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender.

(g) Treasury Management Borrowings and Payments. Unless the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by Swing Line Lender as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 2.04 and so long as the Treasury Management Service Documents are effective between Swing Line Lender and Borrower, Swing Line Borrowings may be made and repaid by Borrower pursuant to the Treasury Management Service Documents. Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make a Swing Line Loan pursuant to the Treasury Management Service Documents if (A) the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by Swing Line Lender as provided in this Agreement, or (B) Swing Line Loans are not available (1) as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (2) because at least one of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied. Floorplan Lenders agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the Treasury Management Service Documents and the borrowing procedures set forth therein used in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Floorplan Lenders hereunder.

SECTION 2.05 PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Working Capital Loans to be prepaid. Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Working Capital Lender of its receipt of each such notice and of the amount of such Lender’s Working Capital Percentage Share thereof. If Borrower gives such notice, then Borrower’s prepayment obligation shall be irrevocable, and Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Working Capital Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional

(ii) If an Event of Default occurs because any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon written notice to Borrower from Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest until the related Event of Default no longer exists at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(iii) If any Event of Default exists pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) or, except as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon written notice to Borrower from Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all

Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Floorplan Lender in accordance with its Floorplan Percentage Share, a commitment fee (the “Floorplan Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Fee multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Floorplan Commitments exceed the sum of the Total Floorplan Outstandings (less the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans). The Floorplan Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Floorplan Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each January, April, July, and October, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Floorplan Maturity Date. The Floorplan Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears together with the determination of changes to the Applicable Rate pursuant to Section 2.08(d).

(d) Collateral Exam Fees. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent fees in connection with any collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent of any Collateral or of the Borrower’s operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Administrative Agent, together with any related out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.10 COMPUTATIONS OF INTEREST AND FEES.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11 EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

(a) Evidence of Payments. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall

not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through Administrative Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) Evidence of Certain Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.12 PAYMENTS GENERALLY; RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO MAKE DEDUCTIONS AUTOMATICALLY.

(a) Payments Generally.

(i) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its applicable Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(ii) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent: (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or under any Note from any account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent; and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or any Note is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Borrower based on its applicable Percentage Share for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of amount due hereunder and under any other Loan Documents.

(b) Fundings by Lenders, Payments by Borrower and Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(i) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, each severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders or L/C Issuer that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then Lenders and L/C Issuer, as the case may be, each severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lenders or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or

waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments under Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) Funding Sources. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

SECTION 2.13 SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall: (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement; or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.14 INCREASE IN AGGREGATE COMMITMENTS.

(a) Increase in Aggregate Commitments Generally. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and the Aggregate Commitments have not been voluntarily reduced, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the Working

Capital Maturity Date, Borrower may request one or more Additional Working Capital Commitments or one or more Additional Floorplan Commitments; provided that: (i) after giving effect to any such addition, the maximum aggregate amount of Additional Working Capital Commitments and Additional Floorplan Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed $75,000,000; (ii) any such addition shall be in an aggregate amount of $15,000,000.00 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (provided that such amount may be less than $15,000,000.00 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the aggregate limit in respect of Additional Working Capital Commitments and Additional Floorplan Commitments set forth in clause (i) of this proviso); (iii) Borrower may request a maximum total of three (3) increases under this section and (iv) no Lender shall be required to participate in the Additional Working Capital Commitments or Additional Floorplan Commitments.

(b) Certain Provisions Regarding Increase of Aggregate Commitments. If any Additional Working Capital Commitments or Additional Floorplan Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.14, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Additional Commitments Effective Date”) of such addition and the amount of, and the Persons who will provide, such Additional Working Capital Commitments or Additional Floorplan Commitments, as applicable; provided that no existing Lender shall have any obligation to provide all or any portion of such Additional Working Capital Commitments or Additional Floorplan Commitments. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lending Parties (which may, in the case of Additional Working Capital Commitments, include Persons reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrower that were not Lenders prior to the Additional Commitments Effective Date) of the final amount of such addition and the Additional Commitments Effective Date, as well as in the case of each notice to any Working Capital Lender, the respective interests in such Working Capital Lender’s Working Capital Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.14. As conditions precedent to such addition: (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents (including all documents required pursuant to Section 2.14(c)) shall be true and correct on and as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that, for purposes of this Section 2.14(b), the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11(a) and Section 5.11(b) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b), respectively; (ii) no Default shall exist immediately before or immediately after giving effect to such addition; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12 after giving pro forma effect to the making of Additional Working Capital Loans or Additional Floorplan Loans, as applicable, in connection with such addition; (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties (including any new Lending Parties being added in connection with such addition) shall have entered into all documents required pursuant to Section 2.14(c), and Borrower shall have complied with all of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of such addition as provided in such documents (including any requirement to pay fees and expenses to any or all of Administrative Agent, Arranger and Lending Parties, including any new Lending Parties); and (iv) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, certifying as to the truth, accuracy and correctness of the matters set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii). On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, each applicable Lender, Eligible Assignee or other Person who is providing an Additional Working Capital Commitment or an Additional Floorplan Commitment:

(A) in the case of any Additional Working Capital Commitment, shall become a “Working Capital Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (B) in the case of any Additional Floorplan Commitment, shall become a “Floorplan Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any Additional Working Capital Loan shall be a “Working Capital Loan” and the other Loan Documents and any Additional Floorplan Loan shall be a “Floorplan Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, on any Additional Commitments Effective Date on which Additional Working Capital Commitments are made, subject to the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.14: (1) each of the existing Working Capital Lenders shall assign to each Person providing an Additional Working Capital Commitment, and each such Person shall purchase from each of the existing Working Capital Lenders, in an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount thereof (together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon), such interests in the Working Capital Loans outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Working Capital Loans will be held by existing Working Capital Lenders and the Person making the Additional Working Capital Commitments ratably in accordance with their Working Capital Percentage Shares after giving effect to the addition of such Additional Working Capital Commitments to the existing Working Capital Commitments; and (2) each Person making an Additional Working Capital Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes to have a Working Capital Commitment and each Additional Working Capital Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Working Capital Loan. In furtherance of the foregoing, on any Additional Commitments Effective Date on which Additional Floorplan Commitments are made, subject to the satisfaction of the other terms and conditions contained in this Section 2.14: (1) each of the existing Floorplan Lenders shall assign to each Person providing an Additional Floorplan Commitment, and each such Person shall purchase from each of the existing Floorplan Lenders, in an amount equal to the Outstanding Amount thereof (together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon), such interests in the Floorplan Loans outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Floorplan Loans will be held by existing Floorplan Lenders and the Person making the Additional Floorplan Commitments ratably in accordance with their Floorplan Percentage Shares after giving effect to the addition of such Additional Floorplan Commitments to the existing Floorplan Commitments; and (2) each Person making an Additional Floorplan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes to have a Floorplan Commitment and each Additional Floorplan Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Floorplan Loan.

(c) Terms and Documentation. Any other terms of and documentation entered into in respect of any Additional Working Capital Commitments made or any Additional Floorplan Commitments provided in each case pursuant to this Section 2.14 (collectively, the “Additional Commitment Documentation”) shall be consistent with the Working Capital Commitments and Floorplan Commitments (including with respect to voluntary and mandatory prepayments). Any Additional Working Capital Commitments or Additional Floorplan Loans, as applicable, made or provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 10.06(c).

(d) Conflicts with Other Provisions. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, the Loan Documents may be amended by Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties, if necessary, to provide for terms applicable to each Additional Working Capital Commitment or Additional Floorplan Commitments, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.15 SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Loan Document, all Obligations shall be secured pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. All Cash Collateral required to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) shall be maintained in blocked, interest bearing deposit accounts at Xxxxx Fargo or invested in such other Cash Equivalents as directed by Borrower and for which Borrower shall have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent possesses a perfected, first priority security interest in such Cash Collateral.

SECTION 2.16 EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE .

(a) The Borrower may request that the Floorplan Maturity Date and the Working Capital Maturity Date be extended for additional terms of twelve (12) months each. Each of the following conditions must be satisfied in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent as a condition precedent to extension of the Floorplan Maturity Date and the Working Capital Maturity Date, as applicable:

(i) the Borrower delivers written notice to Administrative Agent not less than ninety (90) days prior to the Floorplan Maturity Date and the Working Capital Maturity Date, advising that the Borrower requests the extension (the “Borrower Extension Notice”);

(ii) the Administrative Agent and each Lender has consented in writing to such extension, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Administrative Agent’s and/or each Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; and

(iii) the Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lenders shall have entered into an amendment to this Agreement which amendment shall confirm the extension of the Floorplan Maturity Date and the Working Capital Maturity Date and otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Lender;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default exists (i) as of the date of the Borrower Extension Notice and (ii) if such extension is approved by Administrative Agent and each Lender commencement date as of the effective date of such extension term; and

(v) the Borrower has reimbursed the Administrative Agent for all costs reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent in processing the extension request, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses.

(b) Within 30 days of a Borrower Extension Notice being posted to the Electronic Platform, the Administrative Agent and each Lender by its signature hereto, agrees to respond to Borrower in writing stating its consent and approval or its rejection of the then proposed extension of the Floorplan Maturity Date and the Working Capital Maturity Date (“Lender Party Response”). As to any such extension to which a Lender consents and approves in a Lender Party Response, such Lender agrees to execute any amendment to this Agreement evidencing such extension promptly upon the request of Borrower and Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

SECTION 3.01 TAXES.

(a) L/C Issuer. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise

payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity

payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 3.02 ILLEGALITY.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank offered market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion.

SECTION 3.03 INABILITY TO DETERMINE RATES.

If (a) Administrative Agent determines in connection with any request for a Borrowing or continuation of, or a conversion to, Eurodollar Rate Loan that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank offered market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (b) Required Lenders determine in connection with any request for a Borrowing or continuation of, or a

conversion to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan that the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender in writing. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Working Capital Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04 INCREASED COSTS.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lending Party (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or L/C Issuer or the London interbank offered market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C

Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04, as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to in this subsection (d) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.05 COMPENSATION FOR LOSSES.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan), to prepay (including any failure to prepay pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(v)), borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than to continue a Loan as, or to convert a Loan to, a Base Rate Loan, on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or (c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 3.06; including, in each of the foregoing cases, any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank offered market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

SECTION 3.06 MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS; ADDITIONAL L/C ISSUER .

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01:

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender as reasonably determined by such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 or Section 3.01) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) Additional L/C Issuer. If L/C Issuer may not issue Letters of Credit as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(a)(iv)(A), then Borrower may, if no Default exists and with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed): (i) request one of the other Lenders (with such other Lender’s consent) to issue Letters of Credit; or (ii) designate a supplemental bank or financial institution, which is an Eligible Assignee and otherwise satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to issue Letters of Credit and become an additional “L/C Issuer” hereunder.

SECTION 3.07 CASH COLLATERAL .

At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of the L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 3.08(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a) (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Swingline Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) (b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 3.07 or Section 3.08 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c) (c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.07 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, and Swingline

Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 3.08 the Person providing Cash Collateral, the L/C Issuer, and Swingline Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.08 DEFAULTING LENDERS.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 3.07; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the future Fronting Exposure of L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.07; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the

Loans of, and L/C Advances or Swingline Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances or Swingline Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable credit facility without giving effect to Section 3.08(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 3.08(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its applicable Percentage Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.07.

(C) With respect to any fee under Section 2.09 or L/C Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Percentage Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Floorplan Exposure or Working Capital Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Floorplan Commitment or Working Capital Commitment, as applicable. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.07.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.08(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. If Borrower for any reason fails to pay when due any amount that it is required to pay under Section 10.04(a) or Section 10.04(b) to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Percentage Shares (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Swing Line Lender or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity.

SECTION 10.06 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lending Party, and neither Swing Line Lender nor any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 10.06; (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 10.06; or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section 10.06 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 10.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and each Lending Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Swing Line Lender or any Lender. Swing Line Lender or any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for

123

purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans, as applicable) at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s) and Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment(s) (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if any Commitment is not then in effect, the Outstanding Amount of the Loans of the assigning Swing Line Lender or Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if a “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such trade date, shall not be less than $5,000,000.00 unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); (iv) the Eligible Assignee, if it is not then a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Detail Form; and (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; and (vi) so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any assignment shall require the prior written consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is an Eligible Assignee. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of Swing Line Lender or a Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement, and the assigning Swing Line Lender or Lender, as applicable, thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lending Party’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lending Party shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05 and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver Notes to the assignee Lending Party. Any assignment or transfer by Swing Line Lender or a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lending Party of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 10.06.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of Borrower, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender

124

wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations. Swing Line Lender or any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Participant in all or a portion of such Person’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that: (i) such Person’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Person shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Person in connection with such Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any document pursuant to which Swing Line Lender or a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Person shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such document may provide that such Person will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.06, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lending Party hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lending Party, as long as such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lending Party.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Xxxxx Fargo assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06, Xxxxx Fargo may do either or both of the following: (i) upon thirty days’ notice to Borrower and all Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer; or (ii) upon thirty days’ notice to Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender; provided that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Xxxxx Fargo as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as

125

L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require Lenders to make Working Capital Loans or Floorplan Loans that are Base Rate Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and Section 2.03(d)). If Xxxxx Fargo resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require Lenders to make Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

SECTION 10.07 TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

Administrative Agent and each Lending Party each agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential on the same terms as provided herein); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, (g) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07 to: (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party; (h) with the consent of Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07; or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lending Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and not in contravention of this Section 10.07. For purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information (including financial information) received from Borrower or any Subsidiaries thereof relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party on a nonconfidential basis, and not in contravention of this Section 10.07, prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07: (A) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; and (B) shall not disclose any financial information concerning Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses (including any information based on any such financial information) or use any such financial information for commercial purposes without the prior written consent of Borrower.

126

SECTION 10.08 RIGHT OF SETOFF.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of Lending Parties and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lending Party to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations to such Lending Party or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lending Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lending Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligations. The rights of each Lending Party and its Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lending Party or its Affiliates may have. Each Lending Party agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDING PARTY SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDING PARTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

SECTION 10.09 INTEREST RATE LIMITATION.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.10 COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION.

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic

127

(i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.11 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

SECTION 10.12 SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.13 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.

Each Lending Party that is subject to the Act and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lending Party) hereby notify Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, they are each required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lending Party or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

128

SECTION 10.14 GUARANTY BY SUBSIDIARIES.

(a) Guaranty. Each Subsidiary of Borrower party hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lending Parties the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such proceeding.

(b) Separate Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any Debt arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.14, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 10.14, and Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may enforce any and all of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.14, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the Debt thereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties are relying upon the enforceability of this Section 10.14 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent and Lending Parties would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 10.14 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the guaranty is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties under this Section 10.14. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, immediately upon request at any time of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, evidencing such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10.14. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower, any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.

(c) Limitation of Guaranty. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable law (including the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Sections 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that Administrative Agent or any Lending Party can enforce under this Section 10.14, Administrative Agent and Lending Parties by their acceptance hereof accept such limitation on the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 10.14 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d) Liability of Subsidiary Guarantors. The liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 10.14 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected

129

by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(iii) Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may enforce this Section 10.14 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Administrative Agent and Lending Parties, on the one hand, and Borrower or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(v) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A) any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Company or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or any other Person;

(D) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 10.14) or the other Loan Documents;

(E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

130

(F) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(H) Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(I) any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lending Party.

(e) Consents of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) the time for Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Administrative Agent and Lending Parties (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;

(iii) Administrative Agent and Lending Parties may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and

(iv) Administrative Agent or Lending Parties may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower.

131

(f) Subsidiary Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lending Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 10.14; and

(vii) any and all notice of the acceptance of this guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Administrative Agent and Lending Parties upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, each Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) Financial Condition of Borrower. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lending Party to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrower and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party with respect thereto.

(h) Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments shall be terminated, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have, and shall not

132

directly or indirectly exercise: (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 10.14, by any payment hereunder or otherwise; (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 10.14; or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Administrative Agent or any Lending Party as against any Borrower or other Guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 10.14, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

(i) Subordination. All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor or to any other Subordinated Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt”) shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments”), except that, so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower (or any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) and not in contravention of any Law or the terms of the Loan Documents it being understood that any payments pursuant to the section are not “Restricted Payments” hereunder.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 10.14, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties and shall be paid over or delivered to Administrative Agent for application to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 10.14 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Administrative Agent and Lending Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(j) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no

133

Guaranteed Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this Guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five Business Days following such receipt); provided that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of Administrative Agent, or any Lending Party hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any Lending Party in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations.

(k) Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Debtor Relief Law), or must otherwise be restored by Administrative Agent or any Lending Party, whether as a result of proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Administrative Agent, or any Lending Party may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties contained in Section 10.04.

(l) Substantial Benefits. The Credit Extensions provided to or for the benefit of Borrower hereunder by Lending Parties have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the Credit Extensions to be made available by Lending Parties under the Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and in comparable provisions of other applicable law) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be solvent.

(m) KNOWING AND EXPLICIT WAIVERS. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.14. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND THAT EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPECTS SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt is outstanding, any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law is commenced by or against Borrower or its property, Administrative Agent, when so

134

instructed by L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Required Lenders, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Lending Parties or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Administrative Agent and Lending Parties; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Administrative Agent (on instruction from L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and Required Lenders) may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt for the account of the Lending Parties and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; (B) to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments.

SECTION 10.15 TIME OF THE ESSENCE.

Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.16 PRIOR AGREEMENT

This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of, and replacement and substitution for, the Prior Credit Agreement. The indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Credit Agreement is continuing indebtedness evidenced hereby as amended, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a payment, settlement or novation of the Prior Credit Agreement, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien, mortgage, or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of the Administrative Agent and Lending Parties against any guarantor, surety, or other Person liable for such indebtedness.

SECTION 10.17 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.

(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (OTHER THAN NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401 AND 5-1402).

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY PARTY HERETO EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH EACH IS A PARTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURTS OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR

135

PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDING PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY PARTY HERETO EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION 10.16. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 10.17 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON SUCH MATTERS.

SECTION 10.18 JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of any Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Agreement Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the

136

sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of the date set forth at the top of Attachment 1 hereto, by and among:

(1) The financial institution designated under item A of Attachment 1 hereto as the Assignor Lender (“Assignor Lender”); and

(2) The financial institution designated under item B of Attachment 1 hereto as the Assignee Lender (“Assignee Lender”).

RECITALS

A. Assignor Lender is one of the Lenders which is a party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Titan Machinery Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the several financial institutions party thereto as Lenders, and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer.

B. Assignor Lender wishes to sell, and Assignee Lender wishes to purchase, all or a portion of Assignor Lender’s rights under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.06(b) of the Credit Agreement.

AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Assignment Agreement, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement have the respective meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement.

2. Sale and Assignment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Assignment Agreement, Assignor Lender hereby (i) agrees to sell, assign and delegate without recourse to Assignee Lender and Assignee Lender hereby agrees to purchase, accept and assume the rights, obligations and duties of a Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents having a Commitment and corresponding Percentage Share as set forth under Column 1 opposite Assignee Lender’s name on Attachment 1 hereto. Such sale, assignment and delegation shall become effective on the date designated in Attachment 1 hereto (the “Assignment Effective Date”), which date shall be, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, at least five (5) Business Days after the date following the date counterparts of this Assignment Agreement are delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

3. Assignment Effective Notice. Upon (a) receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Assignment Agreement (to each of which is attached a fully completed Attachment 1), each of which has been executed by Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender (and, to the extent required

by Section 10.06(b) of the Credit Agreement, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and (b) payment to the Administrative Agent of the recordation and processing fee specified in Section 10.06(b) of the Credit Agreement by Assignor Lender, the Administrative Agent will transmit to the Borrower, Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender an Assignment Effective Notice substantially in the form of Attachment 2 hereto, fully completed (an “Assignment Effective Notice”).

4. Assignment Effective Date. At or before 12:00 noon (local time of Assignor Lender) on the Assignment Effective Date, Assignee Lender shall pay to Assignor Lender, in immediately available or same day funds, an amount equal to the purchase price, as agreed between Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender (the “Purchase Price”), for the Commitment (and related Loans and participations in L/C Obligations) and corresponding Percentage Shares purchased by Assignee Lender hereunder. Effective upon receipt by Assignor Lender of the Purchase Price payable by Assignee Lender, the sale, assignment and delegation to Assignee Lender of such Commitment (and related Loans and participations in L/C Obligations) and corresponding Percentage Shares as described in Section 2 hereof shall become effective.

5. Payments After the Assignment Effective Date. Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall, and hereby authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to, allocate amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as follows:

(a) All principal payments made after the Assignment Effective Date with respect to each Commitment and corresponding Percentage Shares assigned to Assignee Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement shall be payable to Assignee Lender.

(b) All interest, fees and other amounts accrued after the Assignment Effective Date with respect to the Commitment and corresponding Percentage Shares assigned to Assignee Lender pursuant to this Assignment Agreement shall be payable to Assignee Lender.

Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender shall make any separate arrangements between themselves which they deem appropriate with respect to payments between them of amounts paid under the Loan Documents on account of the Commitment and corresponding Percentage Shares assigned to Assignee Lender, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Borrower shall have any responsibility to effect or carry out such separate arrangements.

6. Delivery of Notes. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date, Assignor Lender will deliver to the Administrative Agent the Notes (if any) payable to Assignor Lender. On or prior to the Assignment Effective Date, if requested, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes for Assignee Lender and Assignor Lender, in each case in principal amounts reflecting, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, their respective Commitments (as adjusted pursuant to this Assignment Agreement). As provided in Section 10.06(b) of the Credit Agreement, each such new Note shall be dated the Closing Date. Promptly after the Assignment Effective Date, if new Notes are requested the Administrative Agent will send to each of Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender, as applicable, its new Notes and, if applicable, will send to the Borrower the superseded Notes payable to Assignor Lender, marked “Replaced.”

7. Delivery of Copies of Credit Documents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Assignor Lender will provide to Assignee Lender (if it is not already a Lender party to the Credit Agreement) conformed copies of all documents delivered to Assignor Lender on or prior to the Closing Date in satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Credit Agreement.

8. Further Assurances. Each of the parties to this Assignment Agreement agrees that at any time and from time to time upon the written request of any other party, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as such other party may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Assignment Agreement.

9. Further Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Assignor Lender and Assignee Lender further represent and warrant to and covenant with each other, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

This AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of March 30, 2012, among Titan Machinery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower which becomes a party hereto in accordance with Article 10 (and each such Subsidiary, individually, a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Borrower are referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association, as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) referred to in the Recitals (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

RECITALS

A. Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2010 (as amended to date, the “Original Credit Agreement”).

B. Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, previously entered into that certain Security Agreement dated as of October 31, 2010 (as amended to date, the “Original Security Agreement”).

C. Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of even date herewith, among the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent (as the same may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement.

D. The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower. The Grantors acknowledge that their business is a mutual and collective enterprise and that the Loans and other financial accommodations made under the Loan Documents will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of the Borrower and credit availability to the other Loan Parties and facilitate their loan relationship with the Lending Parties, all to the mutual advantage of the Grantors.

E. Each Grantor acknowledges that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans. Each Guarantor has, pursuant to the Guaranty, unconditionally guaranteed the Obligations.

F. This Security Agreement is given by each Grantor in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as hereinafter defined) to secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations.

G. The execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Security Agreement is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement, and the Lending Parties would not have entered into the Credit Agreement if the Grantors had not executed and delivered this Security Agreement.

Accordingly, the Grantors and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Secured Party (and each of their respective successors or assigns), hereby agree as follows:

This Security Agreement secures, and the Collateral is collateral security for, the prompt and complete payment or performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including the payment of amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of Title 11 of the United States Code, or any similar provision of any other bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar law), of all Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

4.1 Generally

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each of the Grantors, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

(i) The information in the Perfection Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A is true and correct on, in the case of (i) each Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date, the date hereof or (ii) each Additional Grantor, the date on which it became a Grantor.

(ii) Such Grantor has good and valid rights in or title to, the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant the Security Interest, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such Collateral for its intended purposes, and except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(iii) This Security Agreement creates a valid and continuing Security Interest in the Collateral in favor of the Secured Parties. Upon (i) the filing of the UCC financing statements naming such Grantor as “debtor” and the Administrative Agent as “secured party”, or the making of other appropriate filings, registrations or recordings, containing a description of such Collateral in the office of the Secretary of State (or other analogous office) of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation as set forth in such Grantor’s Perfection Certificate, (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Pledged Collateral to the extent certificated or evidenced by a Document endorsed in blank, and (iii) the timely filing, registration or recordation of fully executed security agreements in the form hereof in the United States Patent and Trademark Office of United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and (iv) obtaining control of any cash or Deposit Accounts described in the definition of Collateral, as applicable, such Security Interest shall be a perfected first priority Security Interest except to the extent of permitted purchase money security interests and subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement, provided, however, that solely with respect to clause (iv) hereof, such Security Interest shall be a perfected first priority Security Interest to the extent that perfection can be effected through obtaining control, and with respect to all clauses hereof, except for any Permitted Liens.

(b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(i) It shall maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate Records with respect to the Collateral as is consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which it is engaged, but in any event to include complete accounting Records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Collateral, and, at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing the identity and amount of any and all such Collateral.

(ii) It shall, at its own cost and expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral owned or rights in Collateral held by it or on its behalf against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien or other interest not expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, and in furtherance thereof, it shall not take, or permit to be taken, any action not otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents that could reasonably be expected to impair the Security Interest or the priority thereof or any Secured Party’s rights in or to such Collateral.

(iii) During normal business hours, the Administrative Agent and such Persons as the Administrative Agent may designate shall, as often as reasonably requested, have the right, at the cost and expense of such Grantor, to inspect all of its Records (and to make extracts and copies from such Records), to discuss its affairs with its officers and independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral owned or rights in Collateral held by or on behalf of such Grantor, including, in the case of Accounts, Pledged Debt, General Intangibles, Commercial Tort Claims or

Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors, contract parties or other obligors thereon or any third person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share on a confidential basis any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(iv) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral owned or held by or on behalf of such Grantor, and not permitted by the Loan Documents, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of such Collateral to the extent such Grantor fails to do so as required by the Loan Documents, and such Grantor agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(v) It shall remain liable for the failure to observe and perform all obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and it agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(vi) It shall not make, or permit to be made, an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf, or grant any other Lien in respect of such Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

(vii) It shall:

(1) Keep the Collateral properly housed and insured for the full insurable value thereof against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, collision (in the case of motor vehicles) and such other risks as are customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of Grantors, with such companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and under policies in such form, as shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days of the date hereof, delivered to Administrative Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to Administrative Agent. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Administrative Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of any Grantor or any other Person shall affect the right of Administrative Agent to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. In addition, each Grantor shall cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent an assignment of proceeds of its business interruption

insurance policies. Each Grantor hereby directs all insurers under all policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(2) Maintain, at its expense, such public liability and third party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of each Grantor with such companies and in such amounts, with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and original (or certified) copies of such policies have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, delivered to Administrative Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing Administrative Agent as additional insured thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy shall be altered or canceled.

If it at any time or times hereafter any Grantor shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium relating thereto, then Administrative Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by any Grantor hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as Administrative Agent deems advisable upon notice to Grantors. Such insurance, if obtained by Administrative Agent, may, but need not, protect such Grantor’s interests or pay any claim made by or against such Grantor with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance such Grantor may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon such Grantor providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by Administrative Agent in connection with any such actions, including, without limitation, court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute a Loan under the Credit Agreement, shall be payable on demand by Grantors to Administrative Agent and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to a Loan under the Credit Agreement.

(viii) It shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt written notice of (a) each Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $10,000,000 in respect of which such Grantor has any right, title or interest that is not listed in the Perfection Certificate (and will promptly take all steps as the Administrative Agent may request to grant to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties a first priority Lien therein), and (b) any judgment, settlement or other disposition of any new or existing Commercial Tort Claim.

4.2 Equipment and Inventory. Each of the Grantors, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that all of its Equipment and Inventory (other than mobile goods, Inventory and Equipment in transit, or rented, leased or otherwise provided to others in the ordinary course of business and other Collateral in which possession is not maintained in the ordinary course of its business) is kept only at the locations specified in the Perfection Certificate.

4.3 Accounts

(b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:

(i) To the extent reasonably practicable, it shall xxxx conspicuously, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all Chattel Paper, Instruments and other evidence of any Accounts (other than any delivered to the Administrative Agent as provided herein), as well as the related Records, with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Administrative Agent has a security interest therein.

(ii) It will not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), grant any extension of the time of payment of any Account, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Supporting Obligation, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, releases, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices or in accordance with such practices reasonably believed by such Grantor to be prudent.

(iii) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, it shall continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to it under all Accounts and any Supporting Obligations relating thereto, and diligently exercise each material right it may have thereunder, in each case at its own cost and expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, it shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take such action as it or the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing and in addition to all other rights and remedies, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify, or require such Grantor to notify, any Account Debtor with respect to any such Account or Supporting Obligation of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and in addition, at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may: (A) direct such Account Debtor to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and (B) enforce, at the cost and expense of such Grantor, collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor would be able to have done. If the Administrative Agent notifies such Grantor that it has elected to collect any such Account or Supporting Obligation in accordance with the preceding sentence, any payments thereof received by such Grantor shall not be commingled with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the

Administrative Agent hereunder and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement), and such Grantor shall not grant any extension of the time of payment thereof, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release the same, wholly or partly, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon. Each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation relating to any Account.

4.4 Pledged Collateral; Documents

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each of the Grantors, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that: (i) all Pledged Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and such Grantor is the direct owner, beneficially and of record, thereof, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens expressly permitted by the Loan Documents), (ii) all Pledged Debt has been duly authorized, issued and delivered and, where necessary, authenticated, and, to the knowledge of such Grantor, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (iii) all Pledged Equity Interests evidenced by a Security Certificate and Chattel Paper or Instruments and Documents, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. Each Grantor hereby agrees that without limiting Article 5, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default to hold, where applicable, Pledged Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned, where applicable, in blank or in favor of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Distributions. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to receive (for application to the Obligations) all dividends, interest or principal in respect of Pledged Collateral and to the extent that any thereof is received by or on behalf of a Grantor, it shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established in the name of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under its sole dominion and control and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2. After all Events of Default

have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall, within five Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, repay to the applicable Grantor all cash dividends, interest and principal (without interest) which remain in such account.

(d) Voting Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall be vested with all rights of each Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers with respect to Pledged Collateral.

(e) Control. If at any time any Pledged Equity Interests do not constitute Securities or if any Pledged Equity Interests constituting Securities are not evidenced by a Security Certificate, the applicable Grantor shall take such actions and execute such documents, at such Grantor’s expense, as is necessary to establish the Administrative Agent’s control thereof or otherwise perfect the Security Interest therein

(f) Instruments. If any Pledged Debt is evidence by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the applicable Grantor shall indorse, assign, and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

4.5 Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) It will not, nor will it permit any of its licensees (or sublicensees) to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent that is related to the conduct of its business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and it shall continue to xxxx any products covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.

(b) It will (either directly or through its licensees or its sublicensees), for each material Trademark included in the Collateral that is related to the conduct of its business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under any such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or other analogous registration to the extent necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable law, and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit any of its licensees or sublicensees to use such Trademark in violation of any third party’s valid and legal rights.

(c) It will (either directly or through its licensees or its sublicensees), for each material work covered by a Copyright included in the Collateral that is related to the conduct of its business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the material work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) It will promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if it knows that any Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business and included in the Collateral may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, or any similar offices or tribunals in the United States of America or any other country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Intellectual Property, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(e) In no event shall it, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Intellectual Property of material value with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar offices in the United States of America or any other country, unless it promptly notifies the Administrative Agent in writing thereof and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property, and such Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

(f) It will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar offices or tribunals in the United States of America or any other country, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registered Trademark and Copyright included in the Collateral that is material to the conduct of its business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent, in good faith, with reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties. In the event that it has reason to believe that any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral material to the conduct of its business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, it promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing and shall, if consistent, in good faith, with reasonable business judgment, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions consistent with reasonable business practices under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

(g) During the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor

of each license included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf to effect the assignment (as collateral security) of all of its right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

(h) It shall continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under all material Intellectual Property included in the Collateral owned or held by it or on its behalf, and diligently exercise each material right it may have thereunder, in each case at its own cost and expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, it shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take such action as it or the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify, or require such Grantor to notify, any relevant obligors with respect to such amounts of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein.

4.6 Commercial Tort Claims. Each of the Grantors, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that the Perfection Certificate sets forth all Commercial Tort Claims as are in existence (i) on the Closing Date, in the case of the Grantors signatory hereto on the Closing Date, and (ii) on the date on which an Additional Grantor becomes a Grantor, in the case of each Additional Grantor. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that it shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt written notice of each Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $10,000,000, and any judgment, settlement or other disposition thereof and will take such action as the Administrative Agent may request to grant and perfect a security interest therein in favor of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties.

5. FURTHER ASSURANCES; FILING AUTHORIZATION

Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees, at its own cost and expense, to promptly execute and deliver all further certificates, documents, instruments, financing and continuation statements and amendments thereto, notices and other agreements, and take all further action, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent to file filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country), including this Security Agreement, the Grants of Security Interest in Trademarks and Patents and Grants of Security Interest in Copyrights in the forms of Exhibits B and C respectively or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder, without the signature of such Grantor, and naming such Grantor, as debtor, and the Administrative Agent, as secured party.

6. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement, taking any action such Grantor is obligated to take under any Loan Document, and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, provided that the Administrative Agent agrees it will not exercise its authority as the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Borrower unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing. The provisions of this Article shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect to any of the Collateral or impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent to proceed in any particular manner with respect to any of the Collateral, or in any way limit the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any other or further right that it may have on the Closing Date or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Collateral.

7. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

7.1 Remedies Generally

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a Secured Party by the UCC or otherwise allowed at law, and provided by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, during such period with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property each Grantor agrees, on demand, to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine, unless any of the Grantor’s obligations would violate any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained. The Administrative Agent may sell all or a portion of the Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable law, provided, that the Grantors agree that ten days’ written notice of any such sale shall be deemed reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions (or any successor provisions).

7.2 Application of Proceeds of Sale

The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

7.3 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property

For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article, at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants, to the extent it has the right to grant, to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired or held by or on behalf of such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, unless any of the Grantor’s obligations would violate any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon such Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Any royalties and other payments received by the Administrative Agent shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.2.

8. REIMBURSEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each Grantor agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to pay to or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its fees, costs and reasonable expenses incurred in connection herewith.

9. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE

All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or any consent to any departure from, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (iii) except as otherwise expressly permitted under the Loan Documents or effected pursuant thereto, any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on any other collateral, or any release or waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification of, or consent under, or departure from, any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10. TERMINATION; RELEASE

This Security Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate when all Commitments have expired or otherwise terminated and all Obligations then due and payable (excluding any contingent indemnification obligations and hedging obligations not related to the Credit Facility) have been finally and paid in full in cash. Upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest in any Collateral pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Loan Documents (other than to a Loan Party), the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released (other than to the extent any such sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral would, immediately after giving effect thereto, result in the receipt by such Grantor of any other property (whether in the form of Proceeds or otherwise) that would, but for the release of the Security Interest therein pursuant to this clause, constitute Collateral, in which event the Lien created hereunder shall continue in such property). In addition, if any of the Pledged Equity Interests in any Subsidiary or subsidiary, as applicable, are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Subsidiary or subsidiary, as applicable, would no longer be a Subsidiary or a subsidiary, as applicable, then the obligations of such Subsidiary or subsidiary, as applicable, under this Security Agreement and the Security Interest in the Collateral owned or rights in Collateral held by or on behalf of such Subsidiary or such subsidiary, as applicable, shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor, at such Grantor’s own cost and expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Article shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

11. ADDITIONAL GRANTORS

Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Administrative Agent and a Subsidiary of a joinder agreement or supplement hereto together with a Perfection Certificate, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein (each an “Additional Grantor”). The execution and delivery of any joinder agreement or supplement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder and each other Loan Party and other party (other than a Lending Party) under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Additional Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement. For clarity, no Foreign Subsidiary, NW Property Solutions LLC or Transportation Solutions shall be required to become a party hereto as a Grantor.

12. BINDING EFFECT; SEVERAL AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS

Whenever in this Security Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor that are contained in this Security Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors and assigns. This Security Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in any of the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Security Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each of the Grantors and may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

13. SURVIVAL OF AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Loan Document and the making of any Loan, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Security Agreement shall terminate. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Security Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

14. OTHER PROVISIONS

14.1 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, as follows: (i) if to any Grantor, to it c/o the Borrower as provided in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) if to the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

14.3 Damage Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Grantor shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

14.4 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract. This Security Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Security Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

14.5 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of a Grantor against any of and all the obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand therefor and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of the Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have.

14.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law (other than New York General Obligations Law 5-1401 and 5-1402). Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County in the Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document to which each is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state courts or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Security Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right

that Administrative Agent or any Lending Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Security Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

14.7 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; OTHER WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO REPRESENTS THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL ON SUCH MATTERS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

14.8 Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Security Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Security Agreement.

Section 13.9 Prior Agreement. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of, and replacement and substitution for, the Original Security Agreement. The indebtedness evidenced by the Original Security Agreement is continuing indebtedness evidenced hereby as amended, and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a payment, settlement or novation of the Original Security Agreement, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien, mortgage, or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders against any guarantor, surety, or other Person liable for such indebtedness.
