The Wholesale Facility will be subject to the following terms:

Subject to the maximum amount of the Wholesale Facility, CDF will finance completed New Motor Coaches in an amount not to exceed ninety percent (90%) of the actual cost to manufacture said New Motor Coach, upon Dealer’s written request in form and substance satisfactory to CDF, and subject to CDF’s review and concurrence with such amount, less the amount of any deposit made by the prospective purchaser of a New Motor Coach financed by CDF. |
| 1.2 | Inspection/Documentation. Prior to funding a completed New Motor Coach, Dealer will provide documentation for the completed unit containing details of all equipment and options. Upon receipt of such documentation, CDF may arrange a physical inspection of the completed unit to verify completion. Upon CDF’s request, Dealer will permit CDF to review Dealer’s records to confirm the cost to manufacture New Motor Coaches. The manufacturer’s statement of origin for both the chassis and the completed unit must be delivered to CDF prior to funding to be retained until funding of the retail sale of the unit. Upon funding, CDF may remit the portion of the advance allocated to the cost of the chassis directly to the manufacturer of the chassis, provided that the manufacturer provides a written release of its lien in said chassis, or, if such amount is paid by Dealer, Dealer will provide evidence of payment of all amounts due to such |

manufacturer for such chassis and manufacturer’s written release of its lien in said chassis. CDF must have a first perfected security interest in each New Motor Coach financed, including the chassis, and all proceeds thereof.

Such interest will: (i) be computed based on a 360 day year; (ii) be calculated each day by multiplying the Daily Revolver Rate by the Daily Contract Balance; and (iii) accrue from the date that CDF makes an advance under the Revolving Credit Facility until CDF receives the full and final payment of the principal debt which Dealer owes to CDF, subject to any applicable default interest rate. |
