applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day specified in such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(b)(ii), each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (other than a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft) cannot be refinanced by such a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(e)(i), the request for Eurodollar Rate New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans submitted by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender that each of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(e)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

51

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, however, that each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) 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 the New Vehicle Borrowers (jointly and severally) to repay New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(f) Repayment of Participations.  

(i) At any time after any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, if the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of 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 the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (other than a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft) is required to be returned by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall pay to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage thereof on demand of the 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 Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Interest for Account of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender.  The New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the New Vehicle Borrowers for interest on the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.  Until each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender funds its Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage shall be solely for the account of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(h) Payments Directly to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender.  Each New Vehicle Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans directly to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

2.04 New Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03,

(a)if the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender has (acting in its discretion), according to the terms hereof, taken action to suspend or terminate Payment Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments and such Payment Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments, as the case may be, have in fact been suspended or terminated in accordance with their respective terms, then the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall not fund any draft with respect to such Payment Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments;

(b)if on any day the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 have been satisfied and a draft with respect to a Payment Commitment or a Payoff Letter Commitment is presented for payment, the payment of which would cause (i) (A) the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, plus (B) the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, plus (C) the aggregate principal amount of all Requests for Borrowings of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans outstanding as of such day to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments as of such day or (ii) the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, then, in such event:

(i)the Company or any New Vehicle Borrower may either immediately reduce any pending Requests for Borrowing (if any) of a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan or make a payment of principal on New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and/or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an amount which would prevent the aggregate amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above from exceeding the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments; or

(ii)the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.18, and such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment shall be funded to the extent of such increase in accordance with said Section; or

(iii)regardless of whether the conditions of Section 4.03 have otherwise been met, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole or in part (the amount of any such funding made by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the “New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft”).  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a commitment by or as requiring the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender to fund any such New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft.  The New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall not be obligated to purchase any portion of or any participation in any such New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft; or

(iv)if such New Vehicle Swing Line Loan would not cause the aggregate amounts described in (A), (B) and (C) above to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion, but shall not be obligated to, fund the payment due under such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment in whole or in part, notwithstanding

53

that such Loan would cause the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit (and the amount of any such funding made by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall not be deemed to be a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft); provided that, within five (5) Business Days after funding such payment, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall make a demand upon the Company that the Borrowers immediately repay such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to the extent that the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit.

2.05 Electronic Processing.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in their respective sole discretion, the New Vehicle Borrowers must request New Vehicle Floorplan Loans electronically by access to the Administrative Agent’s web based floorplan on-line system (“Floorplan On-line System”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions established between the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Company from time to time.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in their respective sole discretion, in connection with the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, (i) interest due pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be automatically debited on the Automatic Debit Date of each month from the applicable New Vehicle Borrower’s account with Bank of America pursuant to on-line procedures established and agreed to from time to time between such New Vehicle Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender (“On-Line Procedures”), (ii) curtailments and other payments due pursuant to Section 2.11(a) must be made in immediately available funds on the due date thereof pursuant to On-Line Procedures, (iii) fees due pursuant to Section 2.13 must be made in immediately available funds on the due date thereof pursuant to On-Line Procedures and (iv) any other amounts otherwise due in respect of each New Vehicle must be made in immediately available funds on the due date thereof pursuant to On-Line Procedures, including without limitation, automatic debits to cure Out of Balance conditions pursuant to Section 8.04; provided that, such payments due as a result of a Dealership Sale, a Removed Franchise, or a termination of New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments in accordance with Section 2.10, may be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds.  The New Vehicle Borrowers have requested access to the Floorplan On-line System to retrieve monthly bills, to permit the New Vehicle Borrowers to access certain account information relating to the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and to facilitate the making of any payments on the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans by authorizing the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender to debit any one or more of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  In consideration for the Administrative Agent’s and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender’s granting to the New Vehicle Borrowers access to the Floorplan On-line System  to view loan account information and make payments, the New Vehicle Borrowers acknowledge responsibility for the security of such New Vehicle Borrowers’ passwords and other information necessary for access to Floorplan On-line System, and the Company and each New Vehicle Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and their employees, agents, and representatives from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity that the Company or any New Vehicle Borrower may now or hereafter have, in any way relating to the Company or any New Vehicle’s Borrower’s access to, or use of, the Floorplan On-line System, other than those

54

arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  

2.06 Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan”) to the Company from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment.  Within the limits of each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.06, prepay under Section 2.09, and reborrow under this Section 2.06.  Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.07 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans.

(a) Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing and each conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice.  Each such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans.  Each Borrowing of or conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing or a conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed or converted, and (iv) the Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans are to be converted.  If the Company fails to provide a timely Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall, subject to Article III, continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Company fails to specify a Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan

55

Notice, then the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans shall, subject to Article III, be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans.  

(b) Following receipt of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of advance of the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans) notify each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender of the amount of its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans.  Each Lender shall make the amount of its Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Borrowing, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Company on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

2.08 Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Autoborrow Agreement, if any, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.08, make loans (each such loan, a “Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan”) to the Company from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender acting as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and provided, further, that the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company, may borrow under this Section 2.08, prepay under Section 2.09,

56

and reborrow under this Section 2.08.  Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage times the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures.  At any time an Autoborrow Agreement under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility is not in effect, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing and each conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans from one type to the other shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice.  Each such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date or date of conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and in each case shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan to be borrowed or to which existing Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans are to be converted.  Promptly after receipt by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof.  Unless the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender not to make such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.08(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.  If the Company fails to provide a timely Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall, subject to Article III, continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Company fails to specify a Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice, then the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan shall, subject to Article III, be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

In order to facilitate the borrowing of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree with the Company to (and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Company are hereby authorized to) enter into an

57

Autoborrow Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (the “Autoborrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans under the conditions set forth in such agreement, which shall be in addition to the conditions set forth herein (each such advance, an “Autoborrow Advance”); provided that, (i) in no event shall the Company be entitled to Autoborrow Advances pursuant to an Autoborrow Agreement at any time an autoborrow arrangement is in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility (any such arrangement, a “Revolving Autoborrow Arrangement”) and (ii) subject to the Administrative Agent’s consent, the Company may, upon 30 days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender, alternate between the autoborrow arrangement described herein and a Revolving Autoborrow Arrangement no more frequently than once in any calendar year.  At any time such an Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the requirements for Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowings set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply, and all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowings shall be made in accordance with the Autoborrow Agreement, until the right to such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowings is suspended or terminated hereunder or in accordance with the terms of the Autoborrow Agreement.  For purposes of determining the Outstanding Amount under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment at any time during which an Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be the amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit.  For purposes of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing pursuant to the Autoborrow Agreement, all references to Bank of America shall be deemed to be a reference to Bank of America, in its capacity as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender hereunder.

(c) Refinancing of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender make a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans then outstanding; provided that the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender intends to request each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans no less frequently than once in any given calendar month.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.07, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.  The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the amount specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice available (including for this purpose Cash Collateral and other credit support made available with respect to the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan) to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Used

58

Vehicle Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.08(c)(ii), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.08(c)(i), the request for Eurodollar Rate Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans submitted by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender that each of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08(c) by the time specified in Section 2.08(c)(i), the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender (acting through the 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 the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender pays such amount (and such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender has also paid such interest and fees as aforesaid), such amount (other than any such interest and fees as aforesaid) so paid shall constitute such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender submitted to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender may have against the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Company 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, however, that each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to

59

make Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(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 the Company to repay Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.  

(i) At any time after any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, if the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall pay to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage thereof on demand of the 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.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Used Vehicle 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 Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  The Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.  Until each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender funds its Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.08 to refinance such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  The Company shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans directly to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.

2.09 Prepayments.

(a) In addition to the required payments of principal of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans set forth in Section 2.11, the Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay New Vehicle Floorplan

60

Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of such Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment is applicable to the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage or Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable, of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Subject to Section 2.21, each such prepayment of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentages.  Subject to Section 2.21, each such prepayment of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentages.

(b) The Company may, upon notice to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to delivery to the Swing Line Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment (or 6:00 p.m.  if such prepayment is accomplished through the Floorplan On-line System).  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the New Vehicle(s) (including the make, model and vehicle identification number of such New Vehicle(s)) attributable to such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(c) At any time during which an Autoborrow Agreement is not in effect, the Company may, upon notice to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender pursuant to delivery to the Swing Line Lender of a Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the dated specified therein.

(d) If for any reason the Total New Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall immediately prepay New Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

61

(e) If for any reason the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments then in effect and the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base then in effect (including the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base in effect after giving pro forma effect to any Disposition or Removed Franchise required to be reported pursuant to Sections 6.02(c) and Sections 6.03(g)), the Company shall immediately prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

(f) If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds either any applicable Within Line Limitation (unless otherwise agreed to by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender) or the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall immediately prepay such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

(g) If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, the Company shall immediately prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

62

Floorplan Commitments or Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender in accordance with (x) its respective Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage and (y) its respective Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as the case may be.  All fees and interest accrued under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility as of the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination; provided that, interest due and payable to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender (in such capacity) shall be due and payable pursuant to terms acceptable to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a) above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.16 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General.  All payments to be made by any Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Borrower hereunder shall be made to the 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 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage or

68

Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable (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 the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. 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 any 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.

(b) (i)  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 noon on the date of any Committed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.07 and may (but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company or applicable New Vehicle Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, the Company and the other Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Company or applicable New Vehicle Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the 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 the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Company or any other Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Company or any other Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company or applicable New Vehicle Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Company or such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Committed Borrowing.  Any payment by the Company or any other Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Company or any other Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of another Borrower) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the

69

amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any 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 the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

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

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

(f) Funding Source.  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.

2.17 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  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 New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed

70

Loans made by it, or the participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other applicable Lenders (in the respective New Vehicle Floorplan Facility or Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and subparticipations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed 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 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender, (y) the application of Cash Collateral in respect of obligations relating to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans provided for in Section 2.20, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or subparticipations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment, participation or subparticipation to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower 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 Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.18 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Default nor any Revolving Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount for all such requests, not exceeding $250,000,000 in the aggregate, provided that the Company may make a maximum of five (5) such requests.  Such increase shall be allocated between the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan

71

Commitments as requested by the Company and specified in its notice, provided that, (a) any increase in the Commitments of any Lender shall be allocated on a pro rata basis between its New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and its Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (consistent with the pro rata allocation of the entire increase on such occasion between the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments), and (b) following any such increase, no more than 30% of the Aggregate Commitments may be allocated to the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments.  At the time of sending any such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify (x) the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders) and (y) whether the requested increase is for the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments.  

(b) Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its respective Commitment, and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.  

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.  

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.18, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, (B) no Default exists and (C) no Revolving Default exists.  The Borrowers shall prepay any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as applicable, outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan

Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as applicable, ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, as the case may be, under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.17 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.19 New Vehicle Borrowers.  

(a) Effective as of the date hereof, each Subsidiary that has executed this Agreement shall be a “New Vehicle Borrower” hereunder and may receive New Vehicle Floorplan Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) If any Subsidiary engages in the sale or leasing of New Vehicles and the Company wishes to designate such Subsidiary as a New Vehicle Borrower, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to Section 6.14 or otherwise, a Joinder Agreement executed by such Subsidiary identifying such Subsidiary as a New Vehicle Borrower; provided that a New Vehicle Borrower shall not be required to execute a Joinder Agreement if such New Vehicle Borrower has executed and delivered this Agreement on the Closing Date.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any such Subsidiary becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for in Sections 2.01 through 2.03 the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, and the other Lenders shall have received the documents required by Section 6.14.  If the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender agree that such Subsidiary shall be entitled to receive New Vehicle Floorplan Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such documents required by Section 6.14, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “New Vehicle Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which such Subsidiary shall constitute a New Vehicle Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders agrees to permit such New Vehicle Borrower to receive New Vehicle Floorplan Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such New Vehicle Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Each New Vehicle Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Obligations or any

guaranty of any of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”); (ii) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided; (iii) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements; (iv) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements; (v) any dissolution of any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement; (vi) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, this Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part; (vii) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities; (viii) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement; and (ix) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such New Vehicle Borrower) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such New Vehicle Borrower, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities. It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several liability of each New Vehicle Borrower for the New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each New Vehicle Borrower with respect to its New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

(e) The Company shall be permitted to terminate the designation of a Subsidiary as a “New Vehicle Borrower” with respect to any particular franchise (any such franchise, a “Removed Franchise”) and redesignate such Subsidiary as a “Dual Subsidiary” or a “Silo Subsidiary”, as applicable, in order to finance New Vehicles through Permitted Silo Indebtedness so long as (i) the Company has (x) delivered notice of such request to the Administrative Agent, (y) in the case of a Dual Subsidiary, executed and delivered acknowledgements (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) of such Subsidiary’s continuing Obligations under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty) as requested by the Administrative Agent and (z) prepaid all outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan

74

Loans with respect to such redesignation as required by Section 2.11(a)(iii)(C) and otherwise complied with Section 7.17, (ii) such Subsidiary otherwise qualifies as a “Silo Subsidiary” or a “Dual Subsidiary”, as applicable, entitled to incur Permitted Silo Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Agreement at the time of such redesignation, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default then exists or will result therefrom.  Following any such redesignation, (i) such Subsidiary shall no longer be entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for in Sections 2.01 through 2.03 with respect to any Removed Franchise and (ii) the Company shall no longer be permitted to include any of the assets of such Subsidiary in the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base.

(f) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a “New Vehicle Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.19 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loans made by the Lenders to any such New Vehicle Borrower hereunder.  Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by any Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein.  Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and each New Vehicle Borrower.

2.20 Cash Collateral and Other Credit Support.

(a) Grant of Security Interest.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.  The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender), a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing.  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 as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than that required to eliminate the applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate the applicable Fronting Exposure. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral under any of this Section 2.20 or Sections 2.03 or 2.08 in respect of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied  to the satisfaction of the specific New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or obligations to fund participations therein

75

(including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral or other credit support was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(c) Release.  Cash Collateral provided pursuant to any of the Sections referred to in Section 2.20(b) shall be released (except (i) as may be agreed to among the parties posting, and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender benefitting from, such Cash Collateral and (ii) Cash Collateral provided by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default) promptly following the payment or satisfaction of the obligations giving rise to delivery of such Cash Collateral, or, as to Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.08, such earlier date as (A) the status of the applicable Lender as a Defaulting Lender shall be terminated or (B) the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith that there remain outstanding no actual or potential Defaulting Lender funding obligations as to which the benefitted New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender desires to maintain Cash Collateral.  

2.21 Defaulting Lenders. (a) 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 Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. 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, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such 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, as to any payment made in respect of principal of Loans, ratably to the principal amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, as applicable, of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding, until such time as the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of each Lender, as applicable, shall equal its pro rata share thereof based on its Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv)); second, to any amounts (including interest thereon) owed hereunder by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent; third, to any amounts (including interest thereon) owed hereunder by such Defaulting Lender to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (to the extent the Administrative Agent has received notice thereof), ratably to the Persons entitled thereto; fourth, to the posting of Cash Collateral (or funding of participations, as applicable) in respect of its Applicable Percentage (without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv)) of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, (x) ratably to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender in accordance with their respective applicable Fronting Exposures and (y) thereafter, to reduce ratably any reallocation of Applicable Percentages of other Lenders previously

76

effected under Section 2.21(a)(iv); and fifth, to the Defaulting Lender or otherwise as required by applicable Law.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection 2.21(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.13(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender as to which the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (as applicable) has not received Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.08, then upon the request of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (as applicable) to the Administrative Agent, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.08, the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the initial date thereof, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) in all cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, between (1) the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all other New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans (prior to giving effect to such reallocation), (iii) in all cases, the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, between (1) the Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender and (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of such Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all other Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans (prior to giving effect to such reallocation).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender agree in writing in their reasonable discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and funded and unfunded

77

participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.21(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender (and the Applicable Percentages of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while such 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 such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE IIA
SECURITY

2A.01 Security.  As security for the full and timely payment and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower shall, and shall cause all other Loan Parties to, on or before the Closing Date, do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and its counsel to grant to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a duly perfected security interest in all Collateral subject to no prior Lien or other encumbrance except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and with the priority identified in the Security Instruments.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall deliver, and shall cause each other applicable Loan Party to deliver, to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (a) the Security Agreement and the Master Intercreditor Agreement and (b) UCC financing statements in form, substance and number as requested by the Administrative Agent, reflecting the Lien in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on the Collateral.  In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, each Borrower shall take and cause each other Loan Party to take such further action, and deliver or cause to be delivered such further documents and instruments, as required by the Security Instruments or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to create, perfect and maintain the effectiveness and priority of the Liens contemplated by this Article IIA and each of the Security Instruments.  

2A.02 Further Assurances.  At the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, each Borrower will or will cause all other Loan Parties, as the case may be, to execute, by their respective Responsible Officers, alone or with the Administrative Agent, or the Revolving Administrative Agent, any certificate, instrument, financing statement, control agreement, statement or document, or to procure any certificate, instrument, statement or document or to take such other action (and pay all related costs) which the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary from time to time to create, continue or preserve the Liens in Collateral (and the perfection and priority thereof) of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and specifically including all Collateral acquired by any Borrower or any other Loan Party after the Closing Date and all Collateral moved to or from time to time located at locations owned by third parties, including all leased locations, bailees, warehousemen and third party processors.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized

78

to execute and file or cause to be filed, with or if permitted by applicable law without the signature of any Borrower or any Loan Party appearing thereon, all UCC financing statements reflecting any Borrower or any other Loan Party as “debtor” and the Revolving Administrative Agent as “secured party”, and continuations thereof and amendments thereto, as the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or advisable to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

2A.03 Information Regarding Collateral.  Each Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that Schedule 2A.03(a) contains a true and complete list of (i) the exact legal name, jurisdiction of formation and location of the chief executive office of each Borrower and each other Person providing Collateral pursuant to a Security Instrument on the Closing Date (such Persons, together with any other Persons that provide Collateral at any time pursuant to a Security Instrument, being referred to collectively as the “Grantors”), (ii) each trade name, trademark or other trade style used by such Grantor on the Closing Date, (iii) each location in which goods constituting Collateral having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 are located as of the Closing Date, whether owned, leased or third-party locations, and (iv) with respect to each leased or third party location, the name of each owner of such location and a summary description of the relationship between the applicable Grantor and such Person.  Each Borrower further covenants that it shall not change, and shall not permit any other Grantor to change, its name, type of entity, jurisdiction of formation (whether by reincorporation, merger or otherwise), or the location of its chief executive office, or use or permit any other Grantor to use, any additional trade name, trademark or other trade style, except upon giving not less than 15 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and taking or causing to be taken all such action at such Borrower’s or such other Grantor’s expense as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Lien of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in Collateral.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws.  If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii)If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative

79

Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party or any such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii)If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Company and each other 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.

(c) Tax Indemnifications.  

(i) the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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 Company 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.  The Company and each other Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay

80

indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii) below.

(ii)Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower 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, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Company or such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Company or such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.  

(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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company 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

81

Section 3.01(e)(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 Company or any other Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Company 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 Company 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BENE, as applicable, 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 or W-8BENE, as applicable, 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 copies 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 N-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 Company or any other 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BENE, as applicable; or

(IV)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of the applicable interest in any Credit Extension or Commitment, executed

82

copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-SECT, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BENE, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 or Exhibit N-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 N‑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 Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Company 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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company 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. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans hereunder and this Agreement as not qualifying as a "grandfathered obligation" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(iii)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

83

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If any Recipient determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or any other Borrower or with respect to which the Company or any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Company or such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company or such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Company and each other Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company or such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company, any other Borrower or any other Person.

(g) 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 other Obligations.

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 perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension, 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 market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall, upon

84

demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate) 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 and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal  for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof,  (a)  the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar 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 Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into (i) in the case of a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan, a request for a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (ii) in the case of a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, a request for a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (iii) in the case of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan, a request for a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, and (iv) in the case of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, a request for a Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted

85

Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  

(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 Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of 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 the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining in any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, any Loan), or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’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 capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into

86

consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that neither the Company nor any other Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Company and each other Borrower, jointly and severally, shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office.  Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the Company and each other Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Company and each other Borrower to repay the Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Company or any other Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the Company and each other Borrower such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans

87

hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the 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, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) hereby agree 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 Company or any other 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 3.05(a), the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

3.06 Survival.  All of the Company’s and each other Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints (a) Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) Bank of America (in its capacity as the Revolving Administrative Agent) to act on its behalf as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Company nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Instruments, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02 Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Person serving as the collateral agent hereunder in their respective individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company, any other Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of the Company or any other Borrower as if such Person were not

133

the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent:

(a) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of the other Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the collateral agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (under the circumstances described in Section 8.02(c) or 8.04(d)) either the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders) (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01, 8.02 and 8.04) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender.  Notice to the Administrative Agent shall not by itself constitute notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent, and notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent shall not by itself constitute notice to the Administrative Agent; and

(e) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or

134

representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Instruments, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable.

9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Revolving Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05 Delegation of Duties.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent or Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have

(c) Any resignation or removal by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  If Bank of America resigns as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(c).  Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, respectively, and (b) the retiring New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law.  In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims

(vi) Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender 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 Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Upon request, each Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by 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 Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers 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 may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d) Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company, any Borrower, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle Floorplan Operations Group, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and/or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

152

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender 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.  Each of the Company and each Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.05 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) [Omitted Intentionally].

(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 any of 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.

153

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Document or any other document executed in connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, 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, physical delivery thereof 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; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

(h) Resignation as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender after Assignment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.  If Bank of America resigns as New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(e).  If Bank of America resigns as Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(c).  Upon the appointment of a successor New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and/or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as the case may be.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to

154

whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (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) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Company or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information contained in this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Company or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

10.08 Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from

155

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 Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Company or any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Company or any Borrower, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Company or such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Company and the 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.

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 of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the 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 the Company.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the 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.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 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 and the other Loan Documents shall become effective when they 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 or any other Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic imaging

156

means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.

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 the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

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.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.13 Replacement of Lenders.  If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company 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 Sections 3.01 and Section 3.04) 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:

(a) the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts);

157

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the refusal of a Lender to approve a requested amendment, waiver or consent, the Person to whom such assignment is being made has agreed to approve such amendment, waiver or consent;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(e) in the case of an 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 Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a) GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

158

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE.  THE COMPANY AND EACH BORROWER 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 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.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS.  EACH 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.

10.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Company and the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Company and the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company and each Borrower in accordance with the Act.  The Company shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

CERTAIN ERISA INFORMATION

Six dealership subsidiaries of Sonic Automotive, Inc. located in Northern California are contributing employers to the Automotive Industries Pension Trust Fund (EIN # 00-0000000), Plan No. 001 (the “Plan”), pursuant to collective bargaining agreements with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 190 in Northern California (the “IAM Local 190”).  The Plan is a “Multiemployer Plan” (as defined in the Agreement) with numerous participating contributing employers primarily located in the State of California.

The federal Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the “Act”) requires multiemployer defined benefit pension plans to engage an actuary to annually evaluate the particular pension plan’s funding status, and to determine the extent to which the particular plan is projected to meet its obligations.  A determination by the actuary that the particular plan is in “critical status” pursuant to the Act triggers requirements for the particular plan to adopt a rehabilitation plan designed to improve the plan’s financial condition over time and improve the plan’s ability to meet pension obligations in the future.  In 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Plan formally notified participants, beneficiaries, participating employers and the IAM Local 190 that the Plan’s actuary certified the Plan to be in critical status pursuant to the Act.  The Board of Trustees of the Plan also adopted a Rehabilitation Plan to address such status pursuant to the requirements of the Act, including suspension or elimination of certain benefits that were previously available under the Plan and requirements to increase participating employer contributions for a seven-year period that began with the 2013 plan year.  The Form 5500 recently filed for the Plan for the 2015 plan year indicates that the Plan is in critical and declining status.

LITIGATION

CALIFORNIA

Hall v. Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.

Lawsuit filed by a consumer and then a former employee alleging that one of Sonic’s California dealerships improperly recorded telephone conversations with customers and employees without providing advance warnings or notice required by applicable law.  The lawsuit purports to be a class action on behalf of allegedly similarly affected consumers and employees against all of Sonic’s California dealerships.  On April 23, 2012, the trial court granted our Motion for Summary Judgment and dismissed Plaintiffs’ case.  Plaintiff has filed an appeal of the Order granting Summary Judgment.  

In February 2014, the California Court of Appeals issued its opinion which affirmed the summary judgment order for Sonic against plaintiff Hall, but reversed the summary judgment as to one of the claims for plaintiff Bornstein.  The case was remanded to the trial court and it may proceed as a claim by the former employee Bornstein as to whether his consent was required to a recording, or if Sonic’s consent was all that was needed.  Plaintiff has filed his Motion and Brief for Class Certification in February 2016.  Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification was denied and the Order denying it was signed on June 30, 2016.  Plaintiff Bornstein filed an appeal of the denial of the Class Certification Motion.  Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Appeal on September 7, 2016.

Esqueda, et al v. Buena Park Honda

Lawsuit filed in state court in California and the Second Amended Complaint was filed January 27, 2015.  Plaintiff, a salespersons sought a class action for misclassification of salespersons as exempt, failure to permit meal and rest periods, failure to reimburse for employee expenses (cell phones, etc.), and itemized wage statement violations.  He attempted to pursue those claims on behalf of all employees for some claims, and salespersons for the exemption issues.  We moved to Compel Arbitration of Plaintiff’s individual claims and to defeat the class claims.  Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint which deleted all class claims and sought to pursue a Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) claim on behalf of all California employees of Sonic Automotive, alleging wage and hour violations along the same lines as the first claims.  Because diversity exists between Plaintiff and Sonic, we removed the action to federal court and filed a petition to compel arbitration of the PAGA claims.  Plaintiff moved to remand the case to state court.

This case has been dismissed without leave to amend following Sonic’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings.  Plaintiffs have filed an appeal.  Plaintiffs also filed a nearly similar matter on September 28, 2016, asserting the same claims.

Two similar cases were very recently filed in CA state court: Delgado v. Poway Honda and Chan v. BMW of Monrovia.  Plaintiffs in both actions assert PAGA claims for meal and rest periods and potentially failure to pay overtime.  The Sonic dealerships have filed Petitions to Compel Arbitration in both Delgado and Chan.

Ferrari & Keynejad, et al v. MBUSA, Autobahn, Inc., David Ahlheim & Sonic Automotive

Putative class action filed September 24, 2015 in Federal Court in the Northern District of CA.  Claims include: Violation of RICO, Misleading Advertising, Fraud – Intentional Misrepresentation, Fraud – Concealment, Negligent Misrepresentation, Unfair Competition and Negligence.  This putative class action lawsuit is related to other existing legal actions between Autobahn and an independent collision center (Eurotech) with which Autobahn ceased doing business in 2010.  One of the named plaintiffs in this case (Keynejad) is the owner of Eurotech.

Plaintiffs claim Autobahn falsely advertises that it only uses OEM parts, while actually using non-OEM parts to save money.  Autobahn denies the accusations.  A Second Amended Complaint was filed by Plaintiffs on May 31, 2016.  A Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint was filed and briefed.  The Judge cancelled the oral argument scheduled for August 30, 2016 and will issue a ruling.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto (each an “Existing New Vehicle Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Syndicated New and Used Vehicle Floorplan Credit Agreement dated July 23, 2014 (as amended prior to (but excluding) the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which certain of the Existing Lenders agreed to make available (a) to the Existing New Vehicle Borrowers a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility, including a new vehicle swingline subfacility and (b) to the Company a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, including a used vehicle swingline subfacility; and

WHEREAS, the Company (the “Existing Guarantor”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Company Guaranty Agreement dated as of July 23, 2014 (the “Existing Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which the Existing Guarantor has guaranteed the payment and performance of the obligations of the Existing New Vehicle Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement and other loan documents related thereto; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Existing New Vehicle Borrowers have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated in order to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the floorplan credit facility provided therein, (b) increase the maximum aggregate amount of the revolving new vehicle floorplan facility and the revolving used vehicle floorplan facility provided therein and (c) make certain other amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Third Amended and Restated Syndicated New and Used Vehicle Floorplan Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Floorplan Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company (each a “New Vehicle Borrower” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers” and each individually a “Borrower”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to enter into the Floorplan Credit Agreement, subject to, among other things, a condition that the parties amend and restate the Existing Guaranty Agreement as provided herein; and

WHEREAS, each New Vehicle Borrower is a Subsidiary of the Guarantor and the Guarantor will materially benefit from the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans made and to be made under the Floorplan Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Guarantor is required to enter into this Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, a material part of the consideration given in connection with and as an inducement to the execution and delivery of the Floorplan Credit Agreement by the Floorplan Secured Parties was the obligation of the Guarantor to enter into this Guaranty Agreement, and the Floorplan Secured Parties are unwilling to extend and maintain the credit facilities provided under the Loan Documents unless the Guarantor enters into this Guaranty Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce (i) the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) induce the Floorplan Secured Parties to make the credit facilities provided for in the Floorplan Credit Agreement available to the New Vehicle Borrowers, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended and restated in this Guaranty Agreement as follows:  

1. Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below).  For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means:  (a) each New Vehicle Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from such New Vehicle Borrower to any one or more of the Floorplan Secured Parties, including principal, interest, premiums and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”)); and (b) each New Vehicle Borrower’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such New Vehicle Borrower under the Floorplan Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents.  The Guarantor’s obligations to the Floorplan Secured Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantor’s Obligations”.

The Guarantor agrees that it is directly and primarily liable for the Guaranteed Liabilities.

The Guarantor’s Obligations are secured by various Security Instruments referred to in the Floorplan Credit Agreement, including without limitation, the Security Agreement.

2. Payment.If any New Vehicle Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, premium, fee

2

(including, but not limited to, loan fees and Attorney Costs), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Floorplan Credit Agreement, then the Guarantor will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing or declared or deemed to be due and owing. For purposes of this Section 2, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that “Guaranteed Liabilities” shall be deemed to include any amount (whether principal, interest, premium, fees) which would have been accelerated in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Floorplan Credit Agreement but for the fact that such acceleration could be unenforceable or not allowable under any Debtor Relief Law.

3. Absolute Rights and Obligations.  This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.  The Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and the Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and all Security Instruments to which it is a party by reason of:

(a)any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to the Guarantor’s Obligations, any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);

(b)any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;

(c)any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(d)any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(e)any dissolution of any Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any New Vehicle Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity, or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any New Vehicle Borrower, the Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement;

3

(f)any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Floorplan Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;

(g)the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation obligations arising under any other Guaranty now or hereafter in effect);

(h)any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the Floorplan Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

(i)any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to any New Vehicle Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantor’s Obligations, whether arising under North Carolina General Statutes Sections 26-7 and 26-9 or otherwise.

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the Guarantor’s Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided.

4. Currency and Funds of Payment.  All Guarantor’s Obligations will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any Floorplan Secured Party with respect thereto as against any Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by any Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities.

5. Events of Default.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities, at the Administrative Agent’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantor’s Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable.

6. Subordination.  Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future

4

debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to the Guarantor (i) of any New Vehicle Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities and (ii) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Floorplan Secured Party and arising under the Loan Documents.  All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Guarantor’s Obligations, or such other obligations, as applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by the Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Floorplan Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of the Guarantor.

7. Suits.  The Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, on demand, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to the Guarantor, the Guarantor’s Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against the Guarantor.  At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against the Guarantor, whether or not suit has been commenced against any New Vehicle Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person and whether or not the Floorplan Secured Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in Section 3 hereof.

8. Set-Off and Waiver.  The Guarantor waives any right to assert against any Floorplan Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which the Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any New Vehicle Borrower or any or all of the Floorplan Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to the Guarantor.  The Guarantor agrees that each Floorplan Secured Party shall have a lien for all the Guarantor’s Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Floorplan Secured Party or otherwise in the possession or control of such Floorplan Secured Party for any purpose (other than solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of the Guarantor, including any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of the Guarantor with the Floorplan Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby authorizes each Floorplan Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor’s Obligations to the Floorplan Secured Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Floorplan Credit Agreement or otherwise as they may elect.  For the purposes of this Section 8, all remittances and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Floorplan Secured Party as soon as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.

(a)The Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences:  (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Loan Party giving rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Floorplan Credit Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof.  The Guarantor agrees that each Floorplan Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Floorplan Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing the Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and the Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

(b)The Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by the Guarantor of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Floorplan Secured Parties upon demand by the Administrative Agent to the Guarantor without the Administrative Agent being required, the Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by any Borrower or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY THE GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE FLOORPLAN CREDIT AGREEMENT.

(c)The Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall not exercise any of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets.  This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation,

6

12. Expenses.  The Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by any Floorplan Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty Agreement, whether or not suit be brought.

13.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty Agreement”), dated as of November 30, 2016, is made by EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A JOINDER AGREEMENT WHICH IDENTIFIES SUCH PERSON THEREIN AS A “FLOORPLAN SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR” (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) to BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the lenders (the “Lenders”) now or hereafter party to the Floorplan Credit Agreement defined below (collectively with the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (as defined below), in its capacity as collateral agent under the Floorplan Credit Agreement, the “Floorplan Secured Parties”).  All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Floorplan Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), certain Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto (each an “Existing New Vehicle Borrower”), the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Syndicated New and Used Vehicle Floorplan Credit Agreement dated July 23, 2014 (as amended prior to (but excluding) the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which certain of the Existing Lenders agreed to make available (a) to the Existing New Vehicle Borrowers a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility, including a new vehicle swingline subfacility and (b) to the Company a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, including a used vehicle swingline subfacility; and

WHEREAS, certain Subsidiaries of the Company (the “Existing Guarantors”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement dated as of July 23, 2014 (the “Existing Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which the Existing Guarantors have guaranteed the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under the Existing Credit Agreement and other loan documents related thereto; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Existing New Vehicle Borrowers have requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated in order to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date of the floorplan credit facility provided therein, (b) increase the maximum aggregate amount of the revolving new vehicle floorplan facility and the revolving used vehicle floorplan facility provided therein and (c) make certain other amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Third Amended and Restated Syndicated New and Used Vehicle Floorplan Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Floorplan Credit Agreement”) among the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company (each a “New Vehicle Borrower” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers” and each individually a “Borrower”), the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to enter into the Floorplan Credit Agreement, subject to, among other things, a condition that the parties amend and restate the Existing Guaranty Agreement as provided herein; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary of the Company; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor will materially benefit from the Loans to be made under the Floorplan Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, each Guarantor is required to enter into this Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, a material part of the consideration given in connection with and as an inducement to the execution and delivery of the Floorplan Credit Agreement by the Floorplan Secured Parties was the obligation of the Company to cause each Guarantor to enter into this Guaranty Agreement, and the Floorplan Secured Parties are unwilling to extend and maintain the credit facilities provided under the Loan Documents unless the Guarantors enter into this Guaranty Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce (i) the Lenders to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) induce the Floorplan Secured Parties to make the credit facilities provided for in the Floorplan Credit Agreement available to the New Vehicle Borrowers, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended and restated in this Guaranty Agreement as follows:  

1. Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below).  For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means:  (a) each Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from any Borrower to any one or more of the Floorplan Secured Parties, including principal, interest, premiums and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”)); and (b) each Borrower’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such Borrower under the Floorplan Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents.  The Guarantors’ obligations to the Floorplan Secured Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

2

Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the Guaranteed Liabilities.

The Guarantors’ Obligations are secured by various Security Instruments referred to in the Floorplan Credit Agreement, including without limitation, the Security Agreement.

2. Payment.If any Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and Attorney Costs), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Floorplan Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, subject to any restriction on each Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing or declared or deemed to be due and owing. For purposes of this Section 2, the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that “Guaranteed Liabilities” shall be deemed to include any amount (whether principal, interest, premium, fees) which would have been accelerated in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Floorplan Credit Agreement but for the fact that such acceleration could be unenforceable or not allowable under any Debtor Relief Law.

3. Absolute Rights and Obligations.  This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.  The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and all Security Instruments to which it is a party by reason of:

(a)any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Floorplan Credit Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);

(b)any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;

(c)any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(d)any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Guaranteed

3

Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(e)any dissolution of any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement;

(f)any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Floorplan Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;

(g)the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor and obligations arising under any other Guaranty now or hereafter in effect);

(h)any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the Floorplan Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

(i)any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantors’ Obligations, whether arising under North Carolina General Statutes Sections 26-7 and 26-9 or otherwise.

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder and under each Joinder Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided.

4. Currency and Funds of Payment.  All Guarantors’ Obligations will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any Floorplan Secured Party with respect thereto as against any Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by any Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities.

4

5. Events of Default.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities, at the Administrative Agent’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantors’ Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable.

6. Subordination.  Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (i) of any Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities, (ii) of every other Guarantor (an “obligated guarantor”), to the payment in full of the Guarantors’ Obligations of such obligated guarantor, and (iii) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Floorplan Secured Party and arising under the Loan Documents.  All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Guarantors’ Obligations, or such other obligations, as applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Floorplan Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of such Guarantor.

7. Suits.  Each Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, on demand, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to such Guarantor, the Guarantors’ Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the Guarantors.  At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against any one or more or all of the Guarantors, whether or not suit has been commenced against any Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person and whether or not the Floorplan Secured Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in Section 3 hereof.

8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor waives any right to assert against any Floorplan Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any or all of the Floorplan Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to such Guarantor.  Each Guarantor agrees that each Floorplan Secured Party shall have a lien for all the Guarantor’s Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Floorplan Secured Party or otherwise in the possession or control of such Floorplan Secured Party for any purpose (other than solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of such Guarantor, including any balance of any deposit

5

account or of any credit of such Guarantor with the Floorplan Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby authorizes each Floorplan Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor’s Obligations to the Floorplan Secured Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Floorplan Credit Agreement or otherwise as they may elect.  For the purposes of this Section 8, all remittances and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Floorplan Secured Party as soon as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.

9. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.

(a)Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences:  (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Loan Party giving rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Floorplan Credit Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof.  Each Guarantor agrees that each Floorplan Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Floorplan Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Guarantor of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Floorplan Secured Parties upon demand by the Administrative Agent to such Guarantor without the Administrative Agent being required, such Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE FLOORPLAN CREDIT AGREEMENT.

6

(c)Each Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall not exercise any of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets.  This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party.  If an amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Floorplan Secured Parties may elect.  The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

10. Effectiveness; Enforceability.  This Guaranty Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect until termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof.  Any claim or claims that the Floorplan Secured Parties may at any time hereafter have against a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Floorplan Secured Parties by written notice directed to such Guarantor in accordance with Section 23 hereof.

11. Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor warrants and represents to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Guaranty Agreement (or the Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable), and to perform its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement, that this Guaranty Agreement (or the Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable) has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Guarantor by its duly authorized representatives; that this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement to which such Guarantor is a party) is legal, valid, binding and enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles; and that such Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement to which such Guarantor is a party) do not violate or constitute a breach of any of its Organizational Documents, any agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is a party, or any law, order, regulation, decree or award of any governmental authority or arbitral body to which it or its properties or operations is subject.

7

12. Expenses.  Each Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by any Floorplan Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty Agreement, whether or not suit be brought.

14. Attorney-in-Fact.  To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, as such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

15. Reliance.  Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, that:  (a) such Guarantor has adequate means to obtain on a continuing basis (i) from any Borrower, information concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan Parties’ financial condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and any Joinder Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete access to the Loan Parties’ books and records and to such Other Information; (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any Floorplan Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, to provide any such information, now or in the future; (c) such Guarantor has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Floorplan Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents and Related Agreements as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement (or the Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable) freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement); (d) such Guarantor has relied solely on the Guarantor’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of each Loan Party, each Loan Party’s financial condition and affairs, the “Other Information”, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement) and is fully aware of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Floorplan Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any information whatsoever concerning any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement), or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise therefor with respect to such decision.  Each Guarantor agrees that no Floorplan Secured Party has any duty or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to such Guarantor any information concerning any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if such Guarantor

All of the Collateral granted as collateral security for the Revolving Secured Obligations is herein collectively referred to as the “Revolving Collateral”.  All of the Collateral granted as collateral security for the Floorplan Secured Obligations is herein referred to as the “Floorplan Collateral”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant of a security interest and collateral assignment under this Section 2 shall not extend to (A) any Franchise Agreement, Framework Agreement or similar manufacturer agreement to the extent that any such Franchise Agreement, Framework Agreement or similar manufacturer agreement is not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or by the terms applicable thereto (unless any such restriction on assignment or encumbrance is ineffective under the UCC or other applicable law), without the consent of the applicable party thereto, (B) the “Restricted Equity Interests” as such term is defined in that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Escrow and Security Agreement dated as of even date among the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Company and the other Revolving Grantors from time to time party thereto to the extent that applicable law or terms of the applicable Franchise Agreement, Framework Agreement or similar manufacturer agreement would prohibit the pledge or encumbrance thereof (except, in the case of the Revolving Collateral, to the extent that any such restriction on assignment or encumbrance would be ineffective under the UCC or other applicable law), without the consent of the applicable party thereto, or (C) the interests of any SRE in any Permitted Real Estate Indebtedness Collateral.

3. Perfection.  As of the date of execution of this Security Agreement or a Revolving Joinder Agreement or Floorplan Joinder Agreement by each Grantor, as applicable (with respect to each Grantor, its “Applicable Date”), or prior thereto, such Grantor shall have:

(a)furnished the Revolving Administrative Agent with duly authorized financing statements in form, number and substance suitable for filing, sufficient under applicable law, and satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent in order that upon the filing of the same the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a duly perfected security interest in all Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of financing statements;

10

(b)to the extent the Revolving Administrative Agent may request, made commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the Revolving Administrative Agent with properly executed Qualifying Control Agreements, issuer acknowledgments of the Revolving Administrative Agent’s interest in Letter-of-Credit Rights, and, to the extent expressly required by either Credit Agreement, evidence of the placement of a restrictive legend on tangible chattel paper (and the tangible components of electronic Chattel Paper), and, to the extent expressly required by either Credit Agreement, taken appropriate action acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent sufficient to establish the Revolving Administrative Agent’s control of electronic Chattel Paper (and the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), as appropriate, with respect to Collateral in which either (i) a security interest can be perfected only by control or such restrictive legending, or (ii) a security interest perfected by control or accompanied by such restrictive legending shall have priority as against a lien creditor, a purchaser of such Collateral from the applicable Grantor, or a security interest perfected by Persons not having control or not accompanied by such restrictive legending, in each case in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and sufficient under applicable law so that the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a security interest in all such Collateral perfected by control; and

(c) to the extent the Revolving Administrative Agent may request, made commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Revolving Administrative Agent or, if the Revolving Administrative Agent shall specifically consent in each instance, an agent or bailee of the Revolving Administrative Agent who has acknowledged such status in a properly executed Qualifying Control Agreement possession of all Collateral with respect to which either a security interest can be perfected only by possession or a security interest perfected by possession shall have priority as against Persons not having possession, and including in the case of Instruments, Documents, and Investment Property in the form of certificated securities, duly executed endorsements or stock powers in blank, as the case may be, affixed thereto in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent and sufficient under applicable law so that the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a security interest in all such Collateral perfected by possession;

with the effect that the Liens conferred in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be and remain duly perfected and of first priority, subject only, to the extent applicable, to Liens allowed to exist under Section 7.01 of both Credit Agreements (“Permitted Liens”) and allowed to have priority under Section 7.01 of the applicable Credit Agreement or the Master Intercreditor Agreement. All financing statements (including all amendments thereto and continuations thereof), control agreements, certificates, acknowledgments, stock powers and other documents, electronic identification, restrictive legends, and instruments furnished in connection with the creation, enforcement, protection, perfection or priority of the Revolving Administrative Agent’s security interest in Collateral, including such items as are described above in this Section 3, are sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Documents”.  The delivery of possession of items of or evidencing Collateral, causing other Persons to execute and deliver Perfection Documents as appropriate, the filing or recordation of Perfection Documents, the establishment of control over items of Collateral, and the taking of such other actions as may

11

be necessary or advisable in the determination of the Revolving Administrative Agent to create, enforce, protect, perfect, or establish or maintain the priority of, the security interest of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Collateral is sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Action”.

4. Maintenance of Security Interest; Further Assurances.

(a)Each Grantor will from time to time at its own expense, deliver specific assignments of Collateral or such other Perfection Documents, and take such other or additional Perfection Action, as may be required by the terms of the Loan Documents or as the Revolving Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Security Agreement or related to the Collateral or any part thereof in order to carry out the terms of this Security Agreement, to perfect, protect, maintain the priority of or enforce the Revolving Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, or otherwise to better assure and confirm unto the Revolving Administrative Agent its rights, powers and remedies for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Revolving Administrative Agent to file (with, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the signature of the Grantor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and initial financing statements in lieu of continuation statements) or other Perfection Documents (including copies thereof) showing such Grantor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Revolving Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated, any of which Perfection Documents may describe the Collateral as or including all assets of the Grantor.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably ratifies and acknowledges the Revolving Administrative Agent’s authority to have effected filings of Perfection Documents made by the Revolving Administrative Agent prior to its Applicable Date.

(b)With respect to any and all Collateral, each Grantor agrees to do and cause to be done all things necessary to perfect, maintain the priority of and keep in full force the security interest granted in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment upon demand therefor by the Revolving Administrative Agent of all fees and expenses (including documentary stamp, excise or intangibles taxes) incurred in connection with the preparation, delivery, or filing of any Perfection Document or the taking of any Perfection Action to perfect, protect or enforce a security interest in Collateral in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Permitted Liens.  All amounts not so paid when due shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

12

(c)Each Grantor agrees to maintain among its books and records appropriate notations or evidence of, and to make or cause to be made appropriate disclosure upon its financial statements of, the security interest granted hereunder to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(d)Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any proceeds (other than goods) of Collateral shall be or become commingled with other property not constituting Collateral, then such proceeds may, to the extent permitted by law, be identified by application of the lowest intermediate balance rule to such commingled property.

5. Receipt of Payment.

(a) In the event a Revolving Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and a Revolving Grantor (or any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, stockholders, directors, officers, employees or agents) shall receive any proceeds of Revolving Collateral, including without limitation monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment, each Revolving Grantor shall hold all such items of payment in trust for the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties, and as the property of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties, separate from the funds and other property of such Grantor, and no later than the first Business Day following the receipt thereof, at the election of the Revolving Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall cause such Revolving Collateral to be forwarded to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its custody, possession and disposition on behalf of the Revolving Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Revolving Loan Documents.

(b)In the event a Floorplan Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and a Floorplan Subsidiary Grantor (or any of its Affiliates, subsidiaries, stockholders, directors, officers, employees or agents) shall receive any proceeds of Floorplan Collateral, including without limitation monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment, each Floorplan Subsidiary Grantor shall hold all such items of payment in trust for the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, and as the property of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Floorplan Secured Parties, separate from the funds and other property of such Grantor, and no later than the first Business Day following the receipt thereof, at the election of the Revolving Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall cause such Floorplan Collateral to be forwarded to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its custody, possession and disposition on behalf of the Floorplan Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Floorplan Loan Documents.

6. Preservation and Protection of Collateral.

(a)The Revolving Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise.  Each Grantor shall be responsible for the safekeeping of its Collateral, and in no event shall the Revolving Administrative Agent have any responsibility for (i) any loss or

13

damage thereto or destruction thereof occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (ii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iii) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee or forwarding agency thereof or other Person in any way dealing with or handling such Collateral.

(b)Each Grantor shall keep and maintain its tangible personal property Collateral in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  No Grantor shall permit any such items having an aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000 to become a fixture to real property (unless such Grantor has granted the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties a Lien on such real property having a priority acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Grantor has excluded such fixtures from the Revolving Borrowing Base) or accessions to other personal property.

(c)Each Grantor agrees (i) to pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges and assessments against the Collateral in which it has any interest, unless being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and against which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the application of GAAP in the Audited Financial Statements and evidenced to the satisfaction of the Revolving Administrative Agent and provided that all enforcement proceedings in the nature of levy or foreclosure are effectively stayed, and (ii) to cause to be terminated and released all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on the Collateral.  Upon the failure of any Grantor to so pay or contest such taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause such Liens to be terminated, the Revolving Administrative Agent at its option may pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Revolving Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest.  All sums so disbursed by the Revolving Administrative Agent, including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”), court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

7. Status of Grantors and Collateral Generally.  Each Grantor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to itself and the Collateral as to which it has or acquires any interest, that:

(a)It is at its Applicable Date (or as to Collateral acquired after its Applicable Date will be upon the acquisition of the same) and, except as permitted by both Credit Agreements and subsection (b) of this Section 7, will continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than the security interest hereunder in favor of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and

14

any products and proceeds thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) to the extent of their claims permitted under both Credit Agreements at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Secured Parties. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so defend, the Revolving Administrative Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so.  All sums so disbursed by the Revolving Administrative Agent, including reasonable Attorney Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and any amounts not so paid on demand (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

(b)It shall not (i) sell, assign, transfer, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant any option with respect to, the Collateral, except for Dispositions permitted under both Credit Agreements, (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral except for the security interests created by this Security Agreement and Permitted Liens, or (iii) take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral that would materially impair the value of the interest or rights of such Grantor in the Collateral taken as a whole or that would materially impair the interest or rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(c)It has full power, legal right and lawful authority to enter into this Security Agreement (and any Revolving Joinder Agreement or Floorplan Joinder Agreement applicable to it) and to perform its terms, including the grant of the security interests in the Collateral herein provided for.

(d)No authorization, consent, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person which has not been given or obtained, as the case may be, is required either (i) for the grant by such Grantor of the security interests granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement (or any Revolving Joinder Agreement or Floorplan Joinder Agreement) by such Grantor, or (ii) for the perfection of or the exercise by the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of its rights and remedies hereunder, except for action required by the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect and exercise remedies with respect to the security interest conferred hereunder.

(e)No effective financing statement or other Perfection Document similar in effect, nor any other Perfection Action, covering all or any part of the Collateral purported to be granted or taken by or on behalf of such Grantor (or by or on behalf of any other Person and which remains effective as against all or any part of the Collateral) has been filed in any recording office, delivered to another Person for filing (whether upon the occurrence of a contingency or otherwise), or otherwise taken, as the case may be, except such as pertain to Permitted Liens and such as may have been filed for the benefit of, delivered to, or taken in favor of, the Revolving Administrative Agent for the

15

benefit of the Secured Parties in connection with the security interests conferred hereunder.

(iii)All dividends and other distributions with respect to any of the Investment Property shall be subject to the security interest conferred hereunder, provided, however, that cash dividends paid to a Grantor as record owner of the Investment Property may be disbursed to and retained by such Grantor so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, free from any Lien hereunder.

22

(iv)So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the registration of Investment Property in the name of a Grantor as record and beneficial owner shall not be changed and such Grantor shall be entitled to exercise all voting and other rights and powers pertaining to Investment Property for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms hereof or of any Qualifying Control Agreement relating thereto.

(f) Deposit Accounts.  With respect to its Deposit Accounts whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, in the discretion and upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent, all Deposit Accounts in which collected balances or deposits in excess of $500,000 are or are reasonably expected by the Company at any time to be credited or maintained shall be maintained at all times with depositary institutions as to which the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured

23

Parties shall have received a Qualifying Control Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Grantor shall cause, suffer or permit (x) any deposit in excess of $500,000 to be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, or (y) any Deposit Account opened after the Closing Date in which collected balances or deposits in excess of $500,000 are or are reasonably expected by the Company at any time to be credited or maintained to be opened or maintained, except in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y), (A) upon giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent and (B) taking or causing to be taken at such Grantor’s expense all such Perfection Action, including the delivery of such Perfection Documents, as may be requested by the Revolving Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties to perfect or protect, or maintain the perfection and priority of, the Lien of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Secured Parties in Collateral contemplated hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of a certificate of deposit described in clause (x) above, such Perfection Action may (in the reasonable discretion of, and upon request by, the Revolving Administrative Agent) include a requirement that such certificate of deposit be issued as or converted to a negotiable instrument and that such certificate be delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent together with a duly executed undated assignment in blank affixed thereto.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require the Revolving Administrative Agent to request any Perfection Action with respect to any Deposit Account or certificate of deposit.

(ii)At the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly and conspicuously legend all counterparts of all tangible Chattel Paper as follows: “A SECURITY INTEREST IN THIS CHATTEL PAPER HAS BEEN GRANTED TO BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., FOR ITSELF AND AS REVOLVING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR CERTAIN SECURED PARTIES PURSUANT TO A FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED

24

SECURITY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2016, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.  NO SECURITY INTEREST OR OTHER INTEREST IN FAVOR OF ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE CREATED BY THE TRANSFER OF PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THIS CHATTEL PAPER OR OF ANY COUNTERPART HEREOF EXCEPT BY OR WITH THE CONSENT OF THE AFORESAID REVOLVING ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AS PROVIDED IN SUCH SECURITY AGREEMENT.”  Upon the occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall not create or acquire any electronic Chattel Paper (including the electronic components of hybrid Chattel Paper), unless, prior to such acquisition or creation, it shall have taken such Perfection Action as the Revolving Administrative Agent may require to perfect by control the security interest of the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Collateral.

(iii)Other than in the ordinary course of business and in keeping with reasonable and customary practice, no Grantor shall amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of, or fail to exercise promptly and diligently each material right or remedy conferred under or in connection with, any Chattel Paper, in any case in such a manner as could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of affected Chattel Paper as collateral.

(i)property insurance on the Inventory and the Equipment in an amount not less than the full insurable value thereof, against loss or damage by theft, fire, lightning, hail, wind, flooding and other hazards ordinarily included under uniform broad form standard extended coverage policies, limited only as may be provided in the standard broad form of extended coverage endorsement at the time in use in the states in which the Collateral is located, in each case as are

26

customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor;

(ii)false pretense insurance in amounts as are customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor;

(iii)garage liability and comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring with or about such Collateral (such coverage to include provisions waiving subrogation against the Secured Parties), with the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Lenders as additional insureds thereunder, in amounts as are customary for Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor;

(iv)liability insurance with respect to the operation of its facilities under the workers’ compensation laws of the states in which such Collateral is located as are customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor, but in no event less than the amount required by the states where such Collateral is located; and

(v)business interruption insurance in amounts as are customarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, owning similar properties in locations where such Grantor operates and otherwise similarly situated to such Grantor.

(b)Each insurance policy obtained in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 10(a):

(i)may be provided by blanket policies now or hereafter maintained by each or any Grantor or by the Company;

(ii)shall be issued by such insurer (or insurers) as shall be financially responsible, of recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the Revolving Administrative Agent;

(iii)shall be in such form and have such provisions (including without limitation the loss payable clause, the waiver of subrogation clause, the deductible amount, if any, and the standard mortgagee endorsement clause) as are generally considered standard provisions for the type of insurance involved and are reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Revolving Administrative Agent;

(iv)shall prohibit cancellation or substantial modification, termination or lapse in coverage by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written

27

notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent, except for non-payment of premium, as to which such policies shall provide for at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent;

(v)without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where applicable under Section 10(a)(i) carried on the Collateral shall name the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and the Revolving Administrative Agent and Lenders as parties insured thereunder in respect of any claim for payment.

(c)Prior to expiration of any such policy, such Grantor shall furnish the Revolving Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent that the policy or certificate has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required by this Security Agreement.

(d)Each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Revolving Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Revolving Administrative Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, 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 or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the powers pursuant to such appointment shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

(e)In the event such Grantor shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance coverage required hereunder or shall fail to keep any of its Collateral in good repair and good operating condition, the Revolving Administrative Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), without waiving or releasing any Secured Obligation or Default or Event of Default by such Grantor hereunder, contract for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any required repairs, renewals and replacements; and all sums so disbursed by Revolving Administrative Agent, including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent, shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral, and (in addition to other rights and remedies resulting from such nonpayment) shall bear interest from the date of demand until paid in full at the Default Rate.

(f)Each Grantor agrees that to the extent that it shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance coverage required by Section 10(a), it shall in the event of any loss or casualty pay promptly to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held in a separate account for application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 10(h), such amount as would have been received as Net Proceeds (as hereinafter defined) by the Revolving Administrative Agent,

28

for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under the provisions of Section 10(h) had such insurance been carried to the extent required.

(g)The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10(a)(ii) and 10(a)(iii) shall be applied by such Grantor toward satisfaction of the claim or liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds may be paid.

(h)The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the provisions of Section 10(a)(i) hereof shall be paid to such Grantor and held by such Grantor in a separate account and applied, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as follows:  after any loss under any such insurance and payment of the proceeds of such insurance, each Grantor shall have a period of thirty (30) days after payment of the insurance proceeds with respect to such loss to elect to either (x) repair or replace, or such repair or replacement cannot reasonably be completed in such thirty (30) day period, commence the repair or replacement and diligently prosecute the same to completion, the Collateral so damaged, (y) deliver such Net Proceeds to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as additional Collateral or (z) apply such Net Proceeds to the acquisition of tangible assets constituting Collateral used or useful in the conduct of the business of such Grantor, subject to the provisions of this Security Agreement.  If such Grantor elects to repair or replace the Collateral so damaged, such Grantor agrees the Collateral shall be repaired to a condition substantially similar to or of better quality or higher value than its condition prior to damage or replaced with Collateral in a condition substantially similar to or of better quality or higher value than the condition of the Collateral so replaced prior to damage.  At all times during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive direct and immediate payment of the proceeds of such insurance and such Grantor shall take all action as the Revolving Administrative Agent may reasonably request to accomplish such payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Grantor shall receive any such proceeds, such Grantor shall immediately deliver such proceeds to such Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as additional Collateral, and pending such delivery shall hold such proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and keep the same segregated from its other funds.

(i)“Net Proceeds” when used with respect to any insurance proceeds shall mean the gross proceeds from such proceeds, award or other amount, less all taxes, fees and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred in the realization thereof.

(j)In case of any material damage to, destruction or loss of, or claim or proceeding against, all or any material part of the Collateral pledged hereunder by a Grantor, such Grantor shall give prompt notice thereof to the Revolving Administrative Agent.  Each such notice shall describe generally the nature and extent of such damage, destruction, loss, claim or proceeding.  Subject to Section 10(d), each Grantor is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise any loss under any such insurance other than losses relating to claims made directly against any Secured Party as to which the insurance described in Section 10(a)(ii) or (iii) is applicable.

29

(k)The provisions contained in this Security Agreement pertaining to insurance shall be cumulative with any additional provisions imposing additional insurance requirements with respect to the Collateral or any other property on which a Lien is conferred under any Security Instrument.

11. Rights and Remedies Upon Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Revolving Event of Default or a Floorplan Event of Default, as the case may be, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the following rights and remedies on behalf of the Revolving Secured Parties or the Floorplan Secured Parties, as applicable, in addition to any rights and remedies set forth elsewhere in this Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all of which may be exercised with or, if allowed by law, without notice to a Grantor:

(a)All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, and none of which shall be exclusive, to the extent permitted by law, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(b)The right to foreclose the Liens and security interests created under this Security Agreement by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process;

(c)The right to (i) enter upon the premises of a Grantor through self-help and without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor notice or opportunity for a hearing on the validity of the Revolving Administrative Agent’s claim and without any obligation to pay rent to such Grantor, or any other place or places where any Collateral is located and kept, and remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Revolving Administrative Agent or any agent of the Revolving Administrative Agent, for such time as the Revolving Administrative Agent may desire, in order effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, (ii) require such Grantor or any bailee or other agent of such Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Revolving Administrative Agent at a place to be designated by the Revolving Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and (iii) notify any or all Persons party to a Qualifying Control Agreement or who otherwise have possession of or control over any Collateral of the occurrence of an Event of Default and other appropriate circumstances, and exercise control over and take possession or custody of any or all Collateral in the possession, custody or control of such other Persons;

(d)The right to (i) exercise all of a Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles (collectively, “Payment Collateral”), including the right to demand payment thereof and enforce payment, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew all or any Payment Collateral or any legal proceedings pertaining thereto; (iii) discharge and release all or any Payment Collateral; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds referred to in Section 5 above; (v) prepare, file and sign a Grantor’s name on any Proof of Claim in bankruptcy, notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in any

30

action or proceeding adverse to any obligor under any Payment Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Payment Collateral; (vi) endorse the name of a Grantor upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (vii) use the information recorded on or contained on a Grantor’s internet website or otherwise in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral to which a Grantor has access; (viii) open such Grantor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due to such Grantor from any Account Debtors or other obligor in respect of Payment Collateral; (ix) take over such Grantor’s post office boxes or make other arrangements as the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, deems necessary to receive such Grantor’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to such address as the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, may designate; (x) notify any or all Account Debtors or other obligor on any Payment Collateral that such Payment Collateral has been assigned to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Revolving Administrative Agent has a security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Revolving Administrative Agent may at any time give such notice to an Account Debtor that is a department, agency or authority of the United States government); each Grantor hereby agrees that any such notice, in the Revolving Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may (but need not) be sent on such Grantor’s stationery, in which event such Grantor shall co-sign such notice with the Revolving Administrative Agent if requested to do so by the Revolving Administrative Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Revolving Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to collect the Payment Collateral; and

(e)The right to sell all or any Collateral in its then existing condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at such time or times, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, with or without representations and warranties, all as the Revolving Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use a Grantor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Revolving Administrative Agent may see fit.  The Revolving Administrative Agent may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that the Revolving Administrative Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.  The Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties is hereby granted an irrevocable fully paid license or other right (including each Grantor’s rights under any license or any franchise agreement), each of which shall remain in full force and effect until the Facilities Termination Date, to use, without charge, each of the labels, patents, copyrights, names, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature owned or licensed by any Grantor, as it pertains to the

31

Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral.  If any of the Collateral shall require repairs, maintenance, preparation or the like, or is in process or other unfinished state, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to perform such repairs, maintenance, preparation, processing or completion of manufacturing for the purpose of putting the same in such saleable form as the Revolving Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, but the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell or dispose of the Collateral without such processing and no Grantor shall have any claim against the Revolving Administrative Agent for the value that may have been added to such Collateral with such processing.  In addition, each Grantor agrees that in the event notice is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to such Grantor in the manner specified herein ten (10) days prior to the date of public sale of any of the Collateral or prior to the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be made shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to such Grantor.  All notice is hereby waived with respect to any of the Collateral which threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.  The Revolving Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, free from any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived by such Grantor and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.  Each Grantor recognizes that the Revolving Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of certain of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state law, and may be otherwise delayed or adversely affected in effecting any sale by reason of present or future restrictions thereon imposed by governmental authorities (“Affected Collateral”), and that as a consequence of such prohibitions and restrictions the Revolving Administrative Agent may be compelled (i) to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire Affected Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, or (ii) to seek regulatory approval of any proposed sale or sales, or (iii) to limit the amount of Affected Collateral sold to any Person or group. Each Grantor agrees and acknowledges that private sales so made may be at prices and upon terms less favorable to such Grantor than if such Affected Collateral was sold either at public sales or at private sales not subject to other regulatory restrictions, and that the Revolving Administrative Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Affected Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Grantor or any other Person to register or otherwise qualify them under or exempt them from any applicable restriction, even if such Grantor or other Person would agree to register or otherwise qualify or exempt such Affected Collateral so as to permit a public sale under the Securities Act or applicable state law.  Each Grantor further agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that the use of private sales made under the foregoing circumstances to dispose of Affected Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for Affected Collateral that is not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system.

32

The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses (including all Attorneys’ Costs) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 8.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement or Section 8.06 of the Floorplan Credit Agreement as applicable, or, if such application is contrary to the application specified in the Master Intercreditor Agreement, then such net cash proceeds shall be applied as required pursuant to the Master Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Grantor shall be liable to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

The Revolving Administrative Agent in its capacity as collateral agent for the Floorplan Secured Parties, shall have no liability or responsibility for the method or manner, or any failure, of application of funds to the Floorplan Secured Obligations by the Floorplan Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be fully acquitted as to any net proceeds upon delivery of same to the Floorplan Administrative Agent.  

12. Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Revolving Administrative Agent as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Revolving Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided, that the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right and power:

(a)to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

(b)to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;

(c)to endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to or constituting proceeds of the Collateral which comes into the Revolving Administrative Agent’s possession or the Revolving Administrative Agent’s control, and deposit the same to the account of the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on account and for payment of the Secured Obligations.

(d)to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Revolving Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with respect to any of the Collateral; and

33

(e)to execute, in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral provided for herein, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect thereto.

13. Reinstatement.  The granting of a security interest in the Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment  had not been made. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Security Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facilities Termination Date.

14. Certain Waivers by the Grantors.  Each Grantor waives to the extent permitted by applicable law (a) any right to require any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations to (x) proceed against any Person or entity, including without limitation any Loan Party, (y) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral or other collateral for the Secured Obligations, or (z) pursue any other remedy in its power; (b) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other Person or entity, (c) any right of subrogation, and (d) any right to enforce any remedy which any Secured Party or any other obligee of the Secured Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any other Person and any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral or security whatsoever now or hereafter held by the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Each Grantor authorizes each Secured Party and each other obligee of the Secured Obligations without notice (except notice required by applicable law) or demand and without affecting its liability hereunder or under the Loan Documents from time to time to: (i) take and hold security, other than the Collateral herein described, for the payment of such Secured Obligations or any part thereof, and exchange, enforce, waive and release the Collateral herein described or any part thereof or any such other security; and (ii) apply such Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as such Secured Party or obligee in its discretion may determine.

The Revolving Administrative Agent may at any time deliver (without representation, recourse or warranty) the Collateral or any part thereof to a Grantor and the receipt thereof by such Grantor shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so delivered, and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

15. Continued Powers.  Until the Facilities Termination Date shall have occurred, the power of sale and other rights, powers and remedies granted to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder shall continue to exist and may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be exercised by the Revolving Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that any of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations or that any part of the liability of any Grantor may have ceased.

34

16. Other Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies given to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law.  Any forbearance or failure or delay by the Revolving Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreements.

17. Anti-Marshaling Provisions.  The right is hereby given by each Grantor to the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to make releases (whether in whole or in part) of all or any part of the Collateral agreeable to the Revolving Administrative Agent without notice to, or the consent, approval or agreement of other parties and interests, including junior lienors, which releases shall not impair in any manner the validity of or priority of the Liens and security interests in the remaining Collateral conferred hereunder, nor release any Grantor from personal liability for the Secured Obligations.  Notwithstanding the existence of any other security interest in the Collateral held by the Revolving Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order in which any or all of the Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Agreement.  Each Grantor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies permitted by applicable law or provided herein or in any other Loan Document.

18. Entire Agreement.  This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with each Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as contained in the Loan Documents.  The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof or thereof.  Neither this Security Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than in a writing that is (a) signed by the Grantors and the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), (b) acknowledged by the Revolving Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (c) if such change, alteration, modification, supplement, discharge, cancellation, termination or amendment would be adverse in any way to any Floorplan Lender or the Floorplan Administrative Agent, signed by the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Floorplan Credit Agreement) and acknowledged by the Floorplan Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

19. Third Party Reliance.  Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all issuers of or obligors in respect of any Collateral, and all securities intermediaries, warehousemen, bailees, public officials and other Persons having any interest in, possession of, control over or

35

right, privilege, duty or discretion in respect of, any Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Revolving Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any of such Persons.

20. Binding Agreement; Assignment.  This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Security Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or, except as expressly permitted herein or in the applicable Credit Agreement, in the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 20, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the applicable Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by such Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such permitted assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the applicable Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Revolving Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations).  All references herein to the Revolving Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

21. Related Swap Contracts and Secured Cash Management Arrangements.  All obligations of each Revolving Grantor under or in respect of Related Swap Contracts and Secured Cash Management Arrangements other than Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed to be Revolving Secured Obligations secured hereby, and each Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank party to any such Related Swap Contract or Secured Cash Management Arrangements shall be deemed to be a Revolving Secured Party hereunder with respect to such Revolving Secured Obligations; provided, however, that such obligations under or in respect of any Related Swap Contract shall cease to be Revolving Secured Obligations at such time, prior to the Facility Termination Date (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), as the applicable Hedge Bank (or Affiliate of such Person) shall cease to be a “Hedge Bank” under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

No Person who obtains the benefit of any Lien by virtue of the provisions of this Section shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Revolving Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Revolving Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Revolving Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Revolving Lender and only to the extent expressly provided in the Revolving Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been with respect to, the Revolving Secured Obligations arising under Related Swap Contracts or Secured Cash Management Arrangements

36

to the extent the Revolving Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Revolving Secured Obligations together with such supportive documentation as it may request from the applicable Revolving Lender or Affiliate of a Revolving Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that any other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Related Swap Contracts in the case of a Facility Termination Date.  Each Revolving Secured Party not a party to the either Revolving Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement by virtue of the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Revolving Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Revolving Secured Party, the Revolving Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Revolving Credit Agreement.

22. Severability.  The provisions of this Security Agreement are independent of and separable from each other.  If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, but this Security Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

23. Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 23, the provisions of Section 10.10 of both Credit Agreements shall be applicable to this Security Agreement.

24. Termination.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13, this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facilities Termination Date.  Upon such termination of this Security Agreement, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall, at the request and sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors such termination statements and take such further actions as the Grantors may reasonably request to terminate of record, or otherwise to give appropriate notice of the termination of, any Lien conferred hereunder.

25. Notices.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given (a) with respect to any Grantor, at the address then in effect for the giving of notices to the Company under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and (c) with respect to the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Secured Party, at the Revolving Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule 10.02 of the Revolving Credit Agreement.  All such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as provided in Schedule 10.02 of the Revolving Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder.

37

26. Joinder.  Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Revolving Administrative Agent a Revolving Joinder Agreement and who is identified therein as a “Revolving Subsidiary Grantor” and each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver a Floorplan Joinder Agreement and who is identified therein as a “Floorplan Subsidiary Grantor” shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder as a Grantor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the benefit of the respective Secured Parties all respective Collateral in which it has at its Applicable Date or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Grantors or to the parties to this Security Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Grantor hereunder.  Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property. Each of the applicable Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed amended and supplemented without further action by such information reflected on the Supplemental Schedules attached to each Joinder Agreement.

27. Rules of Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation contained in Sections 1.03 and 1.06 of the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference.  All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any Credit Extensions (as defined in the “Revolving Credit Agreement) or Loans (as defined in the Floorplan Credit Agreement) as referred to herein or secured hereby.
