The amount by which the value of Dealership’s Vehicle inventory exceeds Wholesale Outstandings, divided by the value of Dealership’s Vehicle inventory, must be equal to or greater than 10%, where:

i. Vehicle inventory includes all vehicles owned by Dealership and covered by the Ally Parties’ security interest, including wholesale vehicles, but excluding Vehicles held on consignment;

ii. Vehicle inventory value is net of unpaid lien payoffs (and excludes the value of Vehicles held on consignment); and

iii. unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (i.e., cash maintained in the Dealership’s bank account(s), plus outstanding deposits, less outstanding checks, less bank fees, plus any amounts maintained under the Credit Balance Agreement in excess of any amounts used to establish the Minimum Required Balance under such agreement, all as of the month-end for which the covenant applies) may be used to bolster Vehicle inventory value.

(c) Monthly Certification. Dealership and Guarantor will provide a monthly certificate executed by an officer affirming compliance with the Inventory Equity covenant, and providing the basis for such affirmations.

F. Except as provided above, the IFSA and all other agreements between each of the Ally Parties and Dealership and Guarantor remain in full force and effect as written. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the IFSA and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment prevail. The Parties hereto ratify all terms of the IFSA as amended by this Amendment.
