This SYNDICATED NEW AND USED VEHICLE
FLOORPLAN CREDIT AGREEMENT (“
Agreement”) is
entered into as of January 15, 2010, among SONIC AUTOMOTIVE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
“
Company”), certain Subsidiaries of the Company party hereto pursuant to
Section
2.19 (each a “
New Vehicle Borrower”, and together with the Company, the
“

Borrower”), each lender from time to time
party hereto (collectively, the “
Lenders” and individually, a “
Lender”), and BANK
OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent, New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing
Line Lender, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Revolving Administrative Agent (in the capacity of
collateral agent for the Secured Parties referenced below).
The Company has requested that the Lenders provide a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility
and a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms
and conditions set forth herein.
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
covenant and agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS AND ACCOUNTING TERMS
1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below:
“Acquisition” means the acquisition of (i) a controlling equity interest or other
controlling ownership interest in another Person (including the purchase of an option, warrant or
convertible or similar type security to acquire such a controlling interest at the time it becomes
exercisable by the holder thereof), whether by purchase of such equity or other ownership interest
or upon the exercise of an option or warrant for, or conversion of securities into, such equity or
other ownership interest, (ii) assets of another Person which constitute all or substantially all
of the assets of such Person or of a line or lines of business conducted by or a vehicle franchise
or vehicle brand licensed or owned by such Person, or (iii) assets constituting a vehicle
dealership.
“Additional Indebtedness” means Indebtedness of the Company (which may be guaranteed
by the Subsidiaries of the Company on an unsecured basis); provided that, (i) such
Indebtedness is (A) not secured by any property of the Company or any Subsidiary, (B) does not have
a maturity, and does not require any principal payments (whether by scheduled installment,
mandatory prepayment or redemption, or the exercise of any put right), earlier than two (2) years
following the Maturity Date, and (C) has terms (including terms of maturity and amortization) that
are typical for indebtedness of such type issued at such time and otherwise no more restrictive, or
less advantageous to the Lenders, than the Loan Documents or are otherwise on terms satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, and (ii) after giving effect to the issuance of such Indebtedness, (A) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a
1
result therefrom and (B) all other requirements set forth in Section 7.03(k) shall
have been met. “Additional Indebtedness” does not include the 2002-4.25% Indenture Indebtedness,
the 2003-8.625% Indenture Indebtedness, the 2009-5.0% Indenture Indebtedness or any related
Permitted Indenture Refinancing Indebtedness.
“Administrative Agent” means Bank of America in its capacity as administrative agent
under any of the Loan Documents, or any successor administrative agent.
“Administrative Agent’s Office” means the Administrative Agent’s address and, as
appropriate, account as set forth on Schedule 10.02, or such other address or account as
the Administrative Agent may from time to time notify to the Company and the Lenders.
“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form
supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, another Person that directly, or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common
Control with the Person specified.
“Aggregate Commitments” means, collectively, the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments and the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments.
“Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments” means the New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments of all the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders.
“Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments” means the Used Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments of all the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders.
“Applicable Facility” means the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility or the Used Vehicle
Floorplan Facility, as applicable.
“Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage” means with respect to any New Vehicle
Floorplan Lender at any time, the percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the
Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments represented by such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitment at such time, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.21. If the
commitment of each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make New Vehicle Floorplan Loans have been
terminated pursuant to Section 8.04 or if the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments
have expired, then the Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of each New Vehicle Floorplan
Lender shall be determined based on the Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of such New
Vehicle Floorplan Lender most recently in effect, giving effect to any subsequent assignments. The
initial Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender is set
forth opposite the name of such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender on Schedule 2.01A or in the
Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender becomes a party
hereto, as applicable.

“Applicable Percentage” means with respect to any Lender at any time, the percentage
(carried out to the ninth decimal place) of the Aggregate Commitments represented by such Lender’s
Commitment at such time, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.21. If the
commitment of each Lender under an Applicable Facility to make Loans under such Applicable Facility
has been terminated pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.04 or if the Aggregate
New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, as
applicable, have expired, then for the purposes of determining the Applicable Percentage of any
Lender, the Commitment of such Lender under such Applicable Facility shall be calculated in
accordance with the second sentence of the definition of “Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage” or “Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage”, as the case may be.
“Applicable Rate” means, from time to time, the following percentages per annum, based
upon the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio as set forth in the most recent Compliance
Certificate received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i):

request shall be deemed to be a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to
the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The New Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Company with a copy of the applicable New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative
Agent. Each New Vehicle
44
Floorplan Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan
Percentage of the amount specified in such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice
available (including for this purpose Cash Collateral and other credit support made
available with respect to the 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 2.09(b)(iv), 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(c)(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(c)(i) shall be
deemed payment in respect of such participation.
(iii) If any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by
such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the New Vehicle Swing Line
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such New 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 New Vehicle Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal
Funds Rate and a rate determined by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the New Vehicle Swing
Line Lender submitted to any New 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make New Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing
Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender may have against
the New 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s obligation to make New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the
45
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, at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. 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
46
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 4.02 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 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
47
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 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
48
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 telephone. Each such 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 telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this
Section 2.07(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a
written Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Company. 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 (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i)
whether the Company is requesting a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, 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 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 notify each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender of the amount
49
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, 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
50
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 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 telephone. Each
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 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. Each such telephonic
notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the
Administrative Agent of a written Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. 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 (by telephone
or in writing) 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 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
51
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 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
52
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. 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 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
53
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, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay New Vehicle Floorplan
Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or
penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of prepayment of such Loans; (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

such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such
54

part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Used
Vehicle Swing Line Lender 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

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)

severally) shall immediately prepay such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an aggregate

2.10 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Aggregate
Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate New

that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. 30
days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) if,
after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the New
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, (iv) if,
after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the Used
Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, and (v)
following any such reduction, no more than 15% of the Aggregate Commitments may be allocated to the
Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments. In connection with any reduction of the Aggregate
New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in its discretion
may suspend and/or terminate all or a portion of the then outstanding Payment Commitments or Payoff
Letter Commitments which shall be promptly selected by the Company, in an amount that corresponds
to the size of said reduction. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable
Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan
Commitments or Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate New
Vehicle 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

Line Lender in its sole discretion.

Committed Loan or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in reliance on information provided
by the Company, any Subsidiary or any existing lender pursuant to any audit completed under
Section 4.01(a)(xix), the Borrowers will (jointly and severally) upon demand, repay
any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan related to
such Disputed Existing Loan, including accrued interest with respect to such New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loan or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, regardless of whether
such Disputed Existing Loan has been resolved with the prior lender.
(vi) Without limiting any other rights or obligations hereunder, interest, curtailment
and other payments then due pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) or Section

deposit account maintained by the applicable New Vehicle Borrower with Bank of America

shall pay such amounts in cash when due).
58

2.12 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any
applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such
amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by any Borrower under any
Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required
Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, each
Borrower, jointly and severally, shall pay interest on the principal amount of all
outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date

2.13 Fees.
(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender in accordance with its
Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments
exceed the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. The Company shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender in accordance with
its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate
times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments
exceed the Outstanding Amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. The commitment fees
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or
more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in
arrears on the Automatic Debit Date after the end of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The
commitment fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the
respective Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by such Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan
Swing Line Loans shall not be included in calculating the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle
Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans used in determining the
commitment fees set forth above.
(b) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative
Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in
the Bank of America Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be
refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(ii) The Company shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed
upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on
the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on
each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that
is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.16(a),
60
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of
the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i)(A) the
Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was
inaccurate and (B) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio would have
resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company and the New Vehicle Borrowers shall
immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of
an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the Bankruptcy
Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been
paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; and
(ii)(A) the Consolidated Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any
applicable date was inaccurate and (B) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Debt to
EBITDA Ratio would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, the Applicable Rate shall be
adjusted as of the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Compliance Certificate
reflecting such proper calculation. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article VIII. The Company’s
and the New Vehicle Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
2.15 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records
maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The
accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), 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
61
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 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 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 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.
62
(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 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).
63
(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 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.
64
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 $125,000,000 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 Commitments as requested by
the Company and specified in its notice, provided that, following any such increase, no
more than 15% 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
65
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.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each New Vehicle Borrower shall be
jointly and severally liable as a primary obligor, and not merely as surety, for any and all
Obligations under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility now or hereafter owed to the Administrative
Agent, the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders, whether voluntary
or involuntary and however arising, whether direct or acquired by any Lender by assignment or
succession, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined
or undetermined (such Obligations, the “New Vehicle Borrowers’ Liabilities”).
66
(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,
67
(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 Loans with
respect to such redesignation as required by Section 2.11(a)(iii)(C) and otherwise complied
with Section 7.17 or 7.18, as applicable, (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.
(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
68
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 (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. 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 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
69
Fronting Exposures and (y) thereafter, to reduce ratably any reallocation of Applicable
Percentages of other Lenders previously 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
70
Committed Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations
in New Vehicle Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle 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
71
Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative
Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized 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 the Company or any other Borrower
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made
free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If applicable Laws require
the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax
shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Company or such
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and
documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii) If the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the
Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States
72
Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative 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 or Other
Taxes, the sum payable by the Company 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) the Administrative
Agent or applicable Lender, as the case may be, 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 any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Company, any other Borrower or the
Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. The Company and each other Borrower shall also, and does hereby,
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 indefeasibly to the
Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount
of any such payment or liability delivered to the Company or any other Borrower by a Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall,
and does hereby, indemnify the Company, each other Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any
and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Company, any
other Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Company,
such Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the
failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or
deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Company, any
Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative
73
Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(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) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Company and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Company or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder
or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of
withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or
reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Company
or any other Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for
withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Company or any other Borrower
is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent
executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation
or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Company
or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code, any Law or any applicable
treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall 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
74
the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender
is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party,
(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all
required supporting documentation,
(IV) 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
to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the
meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder”
of the Company or the applicable Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Company or the Administrative
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or
reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the
re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any
jurisdiction that the Company or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction
for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines,
in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other 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, 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
75
this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, 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
Administrative Agent or such Lender, 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 Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not
be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, 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 make or
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 demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
immediately 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) immediately 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 the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion thereto that (a) 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, or (b) the Eurodollar Rate with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding
76
such 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, 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 or conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans
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.
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement
contemplated by Section 3.04(e));
(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Eurodollar Rate Loan made or participated in by it, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except, in each case, for
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or
any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); 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 or participated in by such
Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining or participating in any Loan the interest of which is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make or participated in 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 requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
77
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 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. 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 such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking
its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or
78
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 additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section
3.01, 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 and repayment of all
other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Pension Plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code with respect to all plan document qualification requirements for which

determined to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code or an application

applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no
waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or
obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target
attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither

funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent
valuation date; (iv) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the
PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become

(b) None of the Company, any Person Controlling the Company, or any Subsidiary is or is
required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries
is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement,
certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any
Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other
Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished)
contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company
represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to
be reasonable at the time.

material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees

without conflict with the rights of any other Person, except where the failure to do so, either
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best
knowledge of the Company, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method,
substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the
88
Company or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation
regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened,
which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
5.18 Books and Records. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary maintains proper books of
record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently
applied have been made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business
of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

case in effect as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.19 or with
respect to any Franchise Agreement entered into after the Closing Date and delivered to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to Section 6.03(f), there is no material
deviation in any Franchise Agreement from the standard form of Franchise Agreements for the
applicable vehicle manufacturer or distributor delivered as of the Closing Date. Each Franchise
Agreement and Framework Agreement is, other than as disclosed in writing to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, in full force and effect and is enforceable by the applicable Loan Party in

Agreement or Framework Agreement is in material breach of, or has failed to perform in any material
respect or is in material default under, such Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement and (b) no
party to any Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement has given or received any notice of any

be, pursuant to Section 6.03(f)).
5.20 Collateral.
(a) The provisions of each of the Security Instruments are effective to create in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable,
perfected security interest (with the priority described therein) in all right, title and interest
of each applicable Loan Party in the Collateral described therein, except as otherwise permitted
hereunder.
(b) No Contractual Obligation to which any Loan Party is a party or by which the property of
any Loan Party is bound prohibits the filing or recordation of any of the Loan Documents or any
other action which is necessary or appropriate in connection with the perfection of the Liens on
Collateral evidenced and created by any of the Loan Documents.

all material conditions precedent to, all consents from applicable Governmental Authorities, and
all other material consents necessary to permit, such Permitted Acquisition will have been
obtained, satisfied, or waived (except that (i) no conditions imposed by the Loan Documents are so
waivable other than with the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) no other conditions shall be
waived if such waiver would materially adversely affect the benefits to be obtained by the Company
or the Secured Parties from such Acquisition), as the case may be.
5.24 Real Estate Indebtedness. The amount of any Indebtedness of the Company and its
Subsidiaries secured by Liens on the real property and improvements financed thereby is no greater
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the value of such real property and improvements as set forth in
an appraisal of such real property and improvements prepared by an independent Member of the
Appraisal Institute certified appraiser in connection with such Indebtedness (which appraisal shall
be delivered to Administrative Agent upon its request).
5.25 Permitted Service Loaner Indebtedness. All Indebtedness for the financing of Service
Loaner Vehicles provided by Service Loaner Lenders which are not parties to the Master
Intercreditor Agreement is secured solely by a Lien on said Service Loaner Vehicles so financed by
the respective Service Loaner Lenders and the proceeds of such Vehicles.

114
(iii) exercise on behalf of itself and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders all rights

obligation of each New Vehicle Lender to make New Vehicle Floorplan Loans shall automatically
terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts

Administrative Agent or any Lender; and
provided further, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to any New Vehicle Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the
obligation of each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender to make New Vehicle Floorplan Loans to such New

Vehicle Floorplan Loans made to such New Vehicle Borrower and all interest and with respect thereto
shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative
Agent or any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender.
(d) In addition to the foregoing, if any Used Vehicle Event of Default, New Vehicle Event 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.
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 and the Person
serving as the collateral agent hereunder in their respective
121
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
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 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. 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; and
(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.
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 8.02(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. 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.
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 representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any

122
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 (v) 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

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 the right, in
consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the
United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as
applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or collateral
agent, as applicable, may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or
collateral agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth
123
above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative
Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable,
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as
applicable, is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be
made by, to or through the Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, shall instead
be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as
applicable, hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or collateral
agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable,
shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The foregoing
notwithstanding, upon the discharge of the retiring Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder,
neither the retiring Administrative Agent nor the successor Administrative Agent or any New Vehicle
Swing Line Lender shall be required to honor any request by a vehicle manufacturer or distributor
or financial institution for advance of a New Vehicle Swing Line Loan, unless and until (A) such
successor Administrative Agent and such manufacturer or distributor or financial institution (and
if required pursuant to the terms of such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment, the
applicable New Vehicle Borrower) have entered into a new Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter
Commitment, and (B) any existing Payment Commitment between such manufacturer or distributor or
Payoff Commitment Letter between such financial institution and the retiring Administrative Agent
has been terminated. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or collateral agent’s, as applicable,
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and
Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring
Administrative Agent or collateral agent, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent or
collateral agent, as applicable.
Any resignation 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.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (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 and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender and (b) the
retiring New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
124
9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Bookrunner, the Arranger or any Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page
hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the collateral
agent or a Lender hereunder.
9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall
have made any demand on the Company) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise.
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such
other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent
hereunder) (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as collateral agent) and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
collateral agent) under Sections 2.13 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Revolving
Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent) to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders or the Revolving Administrative Agent, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.13 and 10.04.
125
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Agent and the Revolving Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), at their option
and in their discretion,

executed only by the parties thereto, (vi) no amendment, waiver or consent shall modify Section
8.02(c) or 8.04(d) or any voting requirement under this clause (vi) or clause (vii)
below, in a manner adverse to any Revolving Lender or the Revolving Administrative Agent, unless in
writing and signed by such Revolving Lender or Revolving Administrative Agent and, (vii)
notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Security Agreement expressly states the signatures required
for any amendment, consent or waiver thereto, then the terms of the Security
128
Agreement shall govern the effectiveness of any such amendment, consent or waiver (subject to
Section 10.01 of the Revolving Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent hereunder, (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of all Lenders other than
Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased
or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such
Defaulting Lender.

restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Company
and the other Loan Parties (i) to add one or more additional revolving credit or term loan
facilities to this Agreement, in each case subject to the limitations in Section 2.17, and
to permit the extensions of credit and all related obligations and liabilities arising in
connection therewith from time to time outstanding to share ratably (or in a subordinated position
to the existing facilities hereunder) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the
existing facilities hereunder, and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent and approved by the Required Lenders, the Lenders providing
such additional credit facilities to be included in any required vote or action required to be
approved by the Required Lenders or by any other number or percentage of the Lenders hereunder.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the
Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and

provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to
Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of
receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and
other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved
by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications

INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF
THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent
or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the
Company, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall
any Agent Party have any liability to the Company, any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person
for
130
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages).
(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Company (for itself and on behalf
of the other Borrowers), the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent, the New
Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier
or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the Company, the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle

Notices and Used Vehicle Swing Line Loan Notices)
purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a
manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of
notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Company and each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all
losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice
purportedly given by or on behalf of the Company or any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and
other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative
Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender, the Administrative
Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
10.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or
any Lender), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the

thereof), the Revolving Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees
and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred
by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Company or any
Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and the Revolving
Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and their respective Related Parties only, the
administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed
use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company, any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company, any Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any other Loan Party, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in
whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the
Company or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s
obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such Loan Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction.
132
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Company or any
Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent
(or any of their sub-agents), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought)
of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim,
damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity
as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent or
the Revolving Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The
obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section
2.16(d) and (e).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, neither the Company nor any Borrower shall assert, and each of the Company and
each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later
than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation
of the Administrative Agent, the resignation of the Revolving Administrative (as collateral agent),
the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the
Company or any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent (as
collateral agent), the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender or any
other Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent (as collateral
agent), the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender or any other Lender
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a)
to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
133
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable, upon demand its applicable share
(without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the
Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
10.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Company nor any other Loan Party
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or
assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or its
New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans (including for purposes of
this subsection (b), participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to
it, or its Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans (including for
purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans) at the
time owing to it (such Lender’s portion of Loans, Commitments and risk participations with respect
to an Applicable Facility being referred to in this Section 10.06 as its “Applicable
Share”); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of
the assigning Lender’s Commitment under each Applicable Facility and the Loans at
the time owing to it under each Applicable Facility or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and
134
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this
Section, the aggregate amount of the Applicable Share (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) with respect to each Applicable Facility,
determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than
$2,500,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met;
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Applicable Facility;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:
(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to such Lender;
(C) the consent of the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in
respect of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility; and
(D) the consent of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Lender (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in
respect of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each permitted
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, provided
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such
135
processing and recordation fees in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a
Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be
made (A) to any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries of any Loan Party, or (B) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or
(C) to a natural person.
(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.
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
136
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a
register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts 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, 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 or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than 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.
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. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
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. 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.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to
such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Company is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
137
(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.
(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(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 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 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 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 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 and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom
138
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 it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of
rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) 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 or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating
to a Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) 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.
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 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 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
139
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 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
140
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 any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Company or any 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 is a Defaulting 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 and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an 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 not less than 100%
of 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);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
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.

BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SCHEDULE 1.01C
CERTAIN ERISA INFORMATION
Seven 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”), a “Multiemployer Plan” (as defined in the Agreement) the participants and
beneficiaries of which are primarily union member employees or retirees of the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District Lodge 190 in Northern California (the “IAM
Local 190”), 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. The Board of Trustees of the Automotive Industries Pension
Trust Fund has formally notified participants, beneficiaries, contributing 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 has also adopted a Rehabilitation Plan to address such status pursuant to the
requirements of the Act, including suspension or elimination of certain benefits to beneficiaries
under the Plan and requirements to increase contributing employer contributions beginning in the
2013 calendar year.

LITIGATION
Actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending, or to the knowledge of the Company after

before any Governmental Authority seeking damages or other remedies in excess of $5,000,000 or
which, if determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
CALIFORNIA
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx x. Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas, et al.
Plaintiff purchased a 2006 Mercedes-Benz S430 from a non-Sonic dealership. The car was serviced at
Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas before and after Sonic purchased the dealership. On January 23, 2008
Plaintiff was involved in a single car accident where the vehicle struck a highway guardrail during
a rainstorm. The guardrail pierced through the passenger compartment of the vehicle, severely
cutting both of Plaintiff’s legs. Ultimately both legs were amputated. Plaintiff contends the
servicing dealerships failed to adequately service the vehicle, including failing to advise that
the wheels needed replacement. A Motion for Summary Judgment is pending on behalf of the Sonic
dealership. Trial is scheduled for March 15, 2010. Certain insurance is available with a $750,000
deductible.
Zamani v. Serramonte Auto Plaza, Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.
Lawsuit filed by former sales associate at one of Sonic’s California dealerships alleging that he
was not paid proper commissions for every used vehicle that he sold during his employment from June
2006 to September 2006. The lawsuit purports to be a class action on behalf of all sales
associates at all dealerships owned by Sonic in the State of California relating to used vehicle
sales. The case has been ordered to Arbitration, and no ruling has occurred to date on class
certification.
Hall v. Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.
Lawsuit filed by consumer alleging that one of Sonic’s California dealerships improperly recorded
telephone conversations with customers 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 against all of Sonic’s California dealerships. No ruling has occurred to date
on class certification.
Xxxxxxxx v. FAA Torrance CPJ, Inc. and Sonic Automotive, Inc.
Lawsuit filed by sales associate at one of Sonic’s California dealerships alleging failure to
provide rest and meal time breaks and other wage-hour claims. The lawsuit purports to be a class
action for two separate classes of employees: (1) on behalf of all sales associates at all
Schedule 5.06 — Page 1
dealerships owned by Sonic in the State of California who were classified as non-exempt employees,
and (2) all associates of Sonic’s California dealerships where the itemized wage statements merely
identified the d/b/a of the employer rather than the employer’s formal legal entity name. No
ruling has occurred to date on class certification.
Xxxxxx XX, LLC and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx v. DaimlerChrysler Motors Company, Chrysler Corporation,
Inc., Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.
Lawsuit filed in 2009 by company and individual owner that purchased the Xxx Xxxx Chrysler Jeep and
Xxx Xxxx Kia dealership assets from Sonic in 2005. The plaintiff company had its Chrysler and Jeep
franchises terminated by Chrysler Corporation during Chrysler’s bankruptcy proceeding in June 2009.
Plaintiffs’ claims against Sonic allege that Sonic made intentional misrepresentations to the
Plaintiffs in conjunction with the 2005 purchase of the dealership assets. Sonic will be moving to
compel arbitration of this matter in accordance with the asset purchase agreement.
FLORIDA
Galura, Kimbrell, McNaughton, et al. v. Sonic Automotive, Inc.
Class action of all customers who purchased or leased a vehicle from one of the Company’s Florida
dealerships after December 31, 1998, where the purchase or lease included an APCO etch product as
part of the transaction. Complaint alleges violations of Florida’s Unfair Trade Practice Act,
Retail Installment Sales Act, etc. relating to the improper disclosure of etch sales.
DaimlerChrysler Insurance Company (“DCIC”) was providing partial defense costs under a reservation
of rights, but their coverage has now been exhausted. The Sonic Defendants still have Motions for
Summary Judgment pending. Currently the case is set for trial on March 8, 2010, though that date
is very likely to be postponed.
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx v BMW of Fort Xxxxx, et al.
Plaintiff purchased a 1999 BMW 323IA from a non-Sonic dealership. BMW of Fort Xxxxx performed some
service work on the vehicle and sent some of its wheels to a third party vendor for servicing.
Plaintiff was involved in a single car accident after experiencing a tire tread separation.
Plaintiff is now a quadriplegic who occasionally needs to breathe with a ventilator. Defendants
include the tire manufacturer, the service shop who performed the work at BMW of Fort Xxxxx’
request, the garage that sold and installed two tires for Plaintiff, an insurance company and a
salvaged vehicle storage company. Discovery is continuing. Certain insurance is available with a
$750,000 deductible.
NORTH CAROLINA
Xxxxxx Xxxxx et al. v. APCO et al.
This lawsuit has been filed as a purported class action against Automobile Protection Corporation
(“APCO”), Sonic Automotive, Inc., and three South Carolina dealership subsidiaries
Schedule 5.05 — Page 2
of Sonic. Plaintiffs contend that the dealerships violated the North Carolina deceptive trade
practices act in the manner in which Etch was sold, and that Etch was sold as an unlicensed
insurance product. The complaint seeks the certification of alternative classes. One class, the
“North Carolina Class” purports to be a class of all North Carolina residents who purchased a
vehicle from a Sonic dealership in which the purchase included Etch. The “Nationwide class”
purports to be a class of all customers who “purchased or leased a vehicle through a Sonic dealer
in any state, with the exception of New York, Florida, and Hawaii (or any other state in which APCO
and/or the Company are properly licensed to sell the Etch product)” in which the purchase included
Etch.
The parties have agreed to submit this matter to arbitration. This matter has been consolidated
with the Xxxxx (below, South Carolina) case and heard by the same arbitrator. The
arbitrator is currently considering Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification, although no ruling
on class certification has been made to date.
SOUTH CAROLINA
Herron, et al. v. Century BMW, et al.
Xxxxx, et al. v. Action Ford, et al.
Xxxxxx was the first case filed by six individuals, asserting claims against almost every
automotive dealership in South Carolina. Plaintiffs allege all South Carolina automotive dealers
conspired together in a common scheme to deceive all car buyers by presenting car prices in a
manner designed to mislead. The claim is that charging customers an administrative fee was
improper and that the amount of the administrative fees was excessive. Plaintiffs dismissed all
but six dealerships in Xxxxxx. Century BMW, a Sonic dealership, is one of the remaining
Defendants. Sonic’s dealership moved to compel arbitration in Xxxxxx and the court denied the
motion. We have appealed and the matter is currently set to be argued before the SC Supreme Court
on January 20, 2010.
Xxxxx was a subsequent filing by the same attorneys, and in that action there is a unique Plaintiff
for each Defendant. It asserts the same claims, and several of Sonic’s South Carolina dealerships
have been named in this case. As to the Sonic dealerships, the case has been stayed pending the
outcome of the appeal on the issue of arbitration in Xxxxxx.
Xxxxx, Xxxxx, et al. vs. Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.
Purported class action complaint wherein Plaintiffs allege that Sonic-owned dealerships deceptively
marketed and sold the Etch product as a “warranty”, and “stuffed” or “packed” the product into
vehicle sales transactions at exorbitant and unconscionable prices without informing the consumer
they were paying for Etch. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and civil
conspiracy. The matter has been consolidated with the Price (above, North Carolina) case
and is being heard by the same arbitrator. The arbitrator is currently considering Plaintiffs’
Motion for Class Certification, although no ruling on class certification has been made to date.
