#####

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,

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.

(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 Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage or Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable, of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such

54

#####

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the dated specified therein.
(d) If for any reason the Total New Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall immediately prepay New Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.
(e) If for any reason the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments then in effect and the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base then in effect (including the Used Vehicle Borrowing Base in effect after giving pro forma effect to any Disposition or Removed Franchise required to be reported pursuant to Sections 6.02(c) and Sections 6.03(g)), the Company shall immediately prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.
(f) If for any reason the Outstanding Amount of any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds either any applicable Within Line Limitation (unless otherwise agreed to by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender) or the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall immediately prepay such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount at least equal to such excess.

55

#####

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 Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments; provided 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 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.

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

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.

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

#####

(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.

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).

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

(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.

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

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.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Company and the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender, the Administrative Agent, or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Company and each Borrower in accordance with the Act.
10.17 Designated Senior Indebtedness. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the Indebtedness under the Loan Documents is “Designated Senior Indebtedness” (or any similar term) under, and as defined in, the Indenture Indebtedness or any Additional Indebtedness.

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 # 94-1133245), 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 due and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or 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
Grewal, Baljinder v. 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.
Phillips 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.
Carson CJ, LLC and Kenneth Phillips v. DaimlerChrysler Motors Company, Chrysler Corporation, Inc., Sonic Automotive, Inc., et al.
Lawsuit filed in 2009 by company and individual owner that purchased the Don Kott Chrysler Jeep and Don Kott 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.
Fecitt, David v BMW of Fort Myers, et al.
Plaintiff purchased a 1999 BMW 323IA from a non-Sonic dealership. BMW of Fort Myers 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 Myers’ 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
Robert Price 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 Owens (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.
Adams, et al. v. Action Ford, et al.
Herron 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 Herron. Century BMW, a Sonic dealership, is one of the remaining Defendants. Sonic’s dealership moved to compel arbitration in Herron 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.
Adams 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 Herron.
Owens, Misty, 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.
