Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 14, 2011, Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole book manager, and the other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a credit facility consisting of a (i) $175.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a $50.0 million sublimit for letters of credit, (ii) $625.0 million new vehicle revolving floorplan facility (the “New Vehicle Floorplan Facility”), and (iii) $100.0 million used vehicle revolving floorplan facility (the “Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), in each case subject to limitations on borrowing availability as set out in the Credit Agreement. Subject to the compliance with certain conditions, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company and its dealership subsidiaries that are borrowers under the Senior Credit Facilities (collectively, the “Borrowers”) have the ability, at their option and subject to the receipt of additional commitments from existing or new lenders, to increase the size of the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $50.0 million without lender consent. The Credit Agreement also provides that the Borrowers have the ability, at their option and subject to the receipt of additional commitments from existing or new lenders, to increase the size of the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility by up to $225.0 million in the aggregate without lender consent and also subject to the compliance with certain conditions.

In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its $150.0 million revolving credit facility under which Bank of America acted as administrative agent, and its $50.0 million used vehicle floor plan facility with JPMorgan and Bank of America, neither of which had any material amounts outstanding thereunder as of the termination thereof. Also in connection therewith, the Company used borrowings under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility to repay amounts outstanding under, and terminate, substantially all of its inventory financing (“floor plan”) facilities, other than the floor plan facilities relating to the financing of new Ford and Lincoln vehicles, and certain loaner vehicles, which remain in place. Proceeds from borrowings from time to time under the (i) Revolving Credit Facility may be used for, among other things, acquisitions, working capital and capital expenditures; (ii) New Vehicle Floorplan Facility may be used to finance the acquisition of new vehicle inventory and to refinance new vehicle inventory at acquired dealerships; and (iii) Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility may be used to finance the acquisition of used vehicle inventory and for, among other things, other working capital and capital expenditures, as well as to refinance used vehicles.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50% or the Base Rate (as described below) plus 1.50%. The Base Rate is the highest of the (i) Bank of America prime rate, (ii) Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.0%. After the Company delivers a certificate with respect to its total lease adjusted leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Compliance Certificate”) to Bank of America, as agent, the applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will range from 1.75% to 2.75% for LIBOR-based borrowings and 0.75% to 1.75% for Base Rate-based borrowings, in each case based on the Company’s total lease adjusted leverage ratio.

Borrowings under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on LIBOR plus 1.5% or the Base Rate plus 0.50%. Borrowings under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on LIBOR plus 1.75% or the Base Rate plus 0.75%.

In addition to the payment of interest on borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee on the total commitments under the Senior Credit Facilities. The fee for commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility is 0.35% per annum prior to delivery of the 2011 Compliance Certificate, and will range from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum after the Compliance Certificate is delivered, based on the Company’s total lease adjusted leverage ratio. The fees for commitments under the New Vehicle Facility Floorplan and the Used Vehicle Facility Floorplan are 0.20% per annum and 0.25% per annum, respectively. The fees are payable quarterly, beginning on December 5, 2011.

The Senior Credit Facilities mature, and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable, on October 14, 2016.

2

The representations and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement are customary for financing transactions of this nature including, among others, a requirement to comply with a minimum consolidated current ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a maximum consolidated total lease adjusted leverage ratio, in each case as set out in the Credit Agreement. In addition, certain other covenants could restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends or acquire or dispose of assets.

The Credit Agreement also provides for events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature, including cross-defaults to other material indebtedness. In certain instances, an event of default under either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility could be, or result in, an event of default under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, and vice versa. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company could be required to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the applicable facility.

The Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by each existing, and will be guaranteed by each future, direct and indirect domestic subsidiary of the Company, other than, at the option of the Company, any immaterial subsidiary. The Floorplan Facilities are each also guaranteed by the Company. The obligations under each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility are collateralized by liens on substantially all of the present and future assets, other than real property, of the Company and the guarantors. The obligations under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility are collateralized by liens on substantially all of the present and future assets, other than real property, of the borrowers under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility.

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, or their affiliates, were lenders under various of the Company’s floor plan facilities which were repaid and terminated in connection with the entry into the Senior Credit Facilities and, as such, received payments in an amount equal to the outstanding amounts under such facilities. In addition, the Company and certain of its affiliates may also have commercial banking, investment banking and retail lending and other relationships with certain of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities and/or their respective affiliates. These lenders, or their respective affiliates, have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expenses for those services.

On October 17, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Credit Agreement. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) and is incorporated by reference herein.

The foregoing description of the Senior Credit Facilities is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, each of the guarantees, the security agreement and the escrow and security agreement, each of which was entered into in connection therewith, and copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

The information regarding the Senior Credit Facilities contained above under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 14, 2011, Scott J. Krenz, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, entered into a severance agreement with the Company, effective as of July 27, 2011 (the “Severance Agreement”). Subject to executing a general release in favor of the Company, (i) in the event Mr. Krenz’s employment is terminated prior to July 27, 2014 without cause or (ii) if his office is relocated by more than 50 miles, his base salary is reduced or his duties or title are diminished, and such action does not involve a change in control of the Company, Mr. Krenz will be entitled to receive severance payments equal to one year of base salary, a pro-rated bonus and benefits continuation for one year. After July 27, 2014, if Mr. Krenz’s employment is terminated without cause within two years following a change in control, he will be entitled to one year of base salary, a pro-rated bonus and benefits continuation for one year. Mr. Krenz will not be entitled to severance benefits in the event of termination due to death, disability, retirement, voluntary resignation or cause. In

3

addition, the Severance Agreement contains customary non-compete, non-disclosure and non-solicitation provisions in favor of the Company.

The information set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Severance Agreement between the Company and Mr. Krenz, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report, and is incorporated herein by reference.

52

(a) Generally. All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the Audited Financial Statements, except as otherwise specifically prescribed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded. Any additions to or exclusions from the computation of any financial item based upon FASB ASC 825 or FASB ASC 470-20 shall be detailed on the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a).

(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

(c) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All references herein to consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries or to the determination of any amount for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or any similar reference shall, in each case, be deemed to include each variable interest entity that the Company is required to consolidate pursuant to FASB ASC 810 as if such variable interest entity were a Subsidiary as defined herein.

(d) Pro Forma Treatment of Acquisitions and Dispositions. Consolidated EBITDAR will be calculated after giving pro forma effect to any Material Dispositions or Material Acquisitions occurring during the relevant period, as if such dispositions or acquisitions occurred on the first day of such period; provided that any such pro forma adjustment of Consolidated EBITDAR shall not result in an increase of more than 10% of Consolidated EBITDAR prior to such adjustment (the “10% EBITDAR Cap”), unless (a) the Company provides to the Administrative Agent (i) the supporting calculations for such adjustment and (ii) such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to determine the accuracy of such calculations, or (b) the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) otherwise consents to such increase in excess of the 10% EBITDAR Cap.

If the calculation of Consolidated EBITDAR for any period gives pro forma effect to any disposition or acquisition, the other elements of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio will also be calculated after giving pro

53

forma effect to such acquisition or disposition, provided that if the pro forma adjustment of Consolidated EBITDAR resulting from such disposition or acquisition is limited as a result of the 10% EBITDAR Cap, then the pro forma adjustment to any other element of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio, as applicable, will likewise be limited on a proportional basis so that the amount of any other adjustment will be reduced by the same percentage as the reduction in the amount of adjustment to Consolidated EBITDAR, and provided further, in any event, that any such pro forma adjustment of the numerator of the Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio (or the denominator of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) will not result in a decrease of more than 10% to the amount of such numerator (or denominator) prior to such adjustment (the “Applicable 10% Cap”) unless (A) the Company provides to the Administrative Agent (1) the supporting calculations for such adjustment and (2) such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to determine the accuracy of such calculations, or (B) the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) otherwise consents to such decrease in excess of the Applicable 10% Cap. If in connection with any Material Acquisition, the Company or any Subsidiary acquires associated real estate, eliminating any leases on the real estate being acquired or any leases of a Subsidiary being acquired, then the rent associated with those leases will not be included in the numerator of the Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio.

(e) Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.04 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.05 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

ARTICLE II. THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Revolving Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Committed Loan”) to the Company from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Committed Borrowing, (a) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Borrowing Base, and (b) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Committed Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C

54

Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Revolving Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Committed Loans.

(a) Each Revolving Committed Borrowing and each conversion of Revolving Committed Loans from one Type to the other, shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Revolving Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Revolving Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving Committed Loans to be borrowed or converted, and (iv) the Type of Revolving Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Committed Loans are to be converted. If the Company fails to provide a timely Revolving Committed Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall, subject to Article III, continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Revolving Committed Loan in a Revolving Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Revolving Committed Loans shall, subject to Article III, be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) Following receipt of a Revolving Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the applicable Revolving Committed Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Revolving Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Company in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Company on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds; provided, however, that if, on the date the Revolving Committed Loan Notice with respect to such

55

Borrowing is given by the Company, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Company as provided above.

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

(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) No L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit

57

in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(vi) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included each L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least ten Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Company shall furnish to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Company and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to

58

the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Company so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Company shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Company that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. Each L/C Issuer will also promptly deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent copies of any non-renewal notification sent to beneficiaries of Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Company and the

59

Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Company shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Company fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Revolving Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (or, if later, one Business Day after the Administrative Agent delivers such notice), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving 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 applicable L/C Issuer.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Company shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by 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 Revolving Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, 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 Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Company of a Revolving Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Committed Loan included in the relevant Revolving Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under

61

any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company, any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such

62

claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Each L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a list of outstanding Letters of Credit (together with type, amounts, beneficiary, issue date, expiry date and non-renewal notice period(s) for any Auto-Extension Letters of Credit)) issued by it on a monthly basis.

(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided,

63

however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.26(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Company shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Company shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Company, and that the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

64

(l) Letters of Credit Reports. For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report in the form of Exhibit M hereto (appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer) on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter (or, at the request of the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of each calendar month), on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs with respect to any such Letter of Credit, and on each date there is a change to the information set forth on such report. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders on a quarterly basis a report of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.04 Revolving Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Revolving Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (and, if a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, in such agreement), the Revolving Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving 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 Revolving Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Revolving Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Revolving Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Revolving Swing Line Loan, (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Borrowing Base and (z) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Committed Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (ii) the Revolving Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any such Revolving Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Revolving Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Revolving Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Revolving Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Revolving Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made or that Revolving Swing Line Loan and all other Revolving Swing Line Loans then outstanding as to which the Revolving Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; and provided, further, that (subject to the terms of any Revolving Autoborrow Agreement that may be in effect) the Company shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Revolving Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Revolving Swing Line Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Revolving Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Revolving Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Revolving Swing Line Loan in an amount equal

65

to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Revolving Swing Line Loan.

(b) At any time a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement is not in effect, each Revolving Swing Line Borrowing and each conversion of Revolving Swing Line Loans from one type to the other shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Revolving Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Revolving Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date or date of any 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, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the Type of Revolving Swing Line Loan to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Swing Line Loans are to be converted. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Revolving Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Revolving Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Promptly after receipt by the Revolving Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Revolving Swing Line Loan Notice, the Revolving Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Revolving Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Revolving Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Revolving Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Revolving Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Revolving Swing Line Lender not to make such Revolving Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(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 Revolving Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Revolving Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Revolving Swing Line Loan available to the Company at its office by crediting the account of the Company on the books of the Revolving Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. If the Company fails to provide a timely Revolving 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 Revolving Swing Line Loan in a Revolving Swing Line Loan Notice, then the applicable Revolving Swing Line Loan shall, subject to Article III, be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

In order to facilitate the borrowing of Revolving Swing Line Loans, the Company and the Revolving Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Swing Line Lender (the “Revolving Autoborrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Revolving Swing Line Lender of Revolving 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, a “Revolving Autoborrow Advance”); provided that, (i) in no event shall the Company be entitled to Revolving Autoborrow Advances pursuant to a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement at any time a Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement or New Vehicle Floorplan Offset Agreement is in place and (ii) the Company may, once per calendar year and

66

upon 30 days advance notice to the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and upon the payment to the Administrative Agent of a $10,000 fee (which fee may be waived in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), alternate between having a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement and a Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement in place, or between having an Autoborrow Agreement and a New Vehicle Floorplan Offset Agreement in place. At any time a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the requirements for Revolving Swing Line Borrowings set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply, and all Revolving Swing Line Borrowings shall be made in accordance with the Revolving Autoborrow Agreement, until the right to such Revolving Swing Line Borrowings is suspended or terminated hereunder or in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Autoborrow Agreement. Solely for purposes of determining the availability of Revolving Committed Loans (other than Revolving Committed Loans used to refinance Revolving Swing Line Loans), at any time during which a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be the amount of the Revolving Swing Line Sublimit. For purposes of any Revolving Swing Line Borrowing pursuant to the Revolving Autoborrow Agreement, all references to Bank of America shall be deemed to be a reference to Bank of America, in its capacity as Revolving Swing Line Lender hereunder.

(c) Refinancing of Revolving Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Revolving Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Revolving Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount of Revolving Swing Line Loans then outstanding; provided that (unless a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement is then in effect) the Revolving Swing Line Lender intends to request each Revolving 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 Revolving Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such Revolving Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Revolving Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Revolving Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Revolving Committed Loan Notice (or, if later, one Business Day after the Revolving Swing Lender delivers such notice), whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving 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 Revolving Swing Line Lender.

67

(ii) If for any reason any Revolving Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Eurodollar Rate Revolving Committed Loans submitted by the Revolving Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Revolving Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Revolving Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Revolving Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving 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 Revolving Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Revolving Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Revolving Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Committed Loan included in the relevant Revolving Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Revolving Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Revolving Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Revolving Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(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 Revolving Lender may have against the Revolving 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 Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(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 Revolving Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

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

68

Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Revolving Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Revolving Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Revolving Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Revolving Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Revolving Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving Swing Line Lender its Applicable Revolving 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 Revolving Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Revolving Swing Line Lender. The Revolving Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Company for interest on the Revolving Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of any Revolving Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Revolving Swing Line Lender.

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

2.05 New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan”) to the New Vehicle Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount outstanding not to exceed at any time the amount of such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Total New Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender plus such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, (iv) such Loan, together with the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all other New Vehicle Floorplan Loans made on or prior to such date shall not exceed any applicable Within Line Limitation unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and (v) on a per New Vehicle basis, such Loan shall not exceed 100% of the original invoice price (including freight charges) of each New Vehicle financed, provided, further, that the proceeds of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans shall only be used by a New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower to pay the purchase price of New Vehicles owned by such New Vehicle Borrower, including dealer trade, Demonstrators, Rental Vehicles and Fleet Vehicles (including the refinancing of New Vehicle

69

Floorplan Swing Line Loans or other new vehicle floorplan loans that had financed (or refinanced) such New Vehicle Borrower’s purchase of such New Vehicles). Within the limits of each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the New Vehicle Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section 2.14, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after giving effect to any Borrowing or conversion, all outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Loans of the Company and the New Vehicle Borrowers must be of the same Type.

2.06 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans.

(a) Each New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing and each conversion of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other shall be made (i) upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone; provided, that New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowings at the request of the Company shall only be permitted on the Closing Date, during the Asbury New Vehicle Control Period, and otherwise at times permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and (ii) at any time other than during an Asbury New Vehicle Control Period, upon the request of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (on behalf of the Company) to the Administrative Agent; provided that the entire proceeds of any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans requested by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be applied to repay the Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or to honor Payoff Letter Commitments. Each such notice from the Company must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice from the Company (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (W) whether the Company is requesting a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, a conversion of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, (X) the requested date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (Y) the principal amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed or converted, and (Z) the Type of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed If the Company fails to provide a timely New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company fails to specify a Type of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan in a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice then the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) During an Asbury New Vehicle Control Period, the proceeds of any New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans requested by the Company shall be applied only to repay the

70

Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or to honor Payoff Letter Commitments.

(c) Following receipt of a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender of the amount of its Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Each such Lender shall make the amount of its New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender who will repay New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or honor Payoff Letter Commitments.

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

2.07 New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan.

(a) The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.07, to make loans (each such loan, a “New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan”) to the New Vehicle Borrowers 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the Lender acting as New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, (w) subject to Section 2.08, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (x) subject to Section 2.08, the Total New Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, (y) subject to Section 2.08, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any New Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and (z) such Loan, together with the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all other New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made on or prior to such date shall not exceed any applicable Within Line Limitation unless otherwise consented to by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, and (ii) the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at such

71

time a Defaulting Lender, unless the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made or that New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan and all other New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans then outstanding as to which the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; and provided, further, that the proceeds of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall only be used (x) to honor New Vehicle Floorplan drafts presented by the applicable vehicle manufacturer or distributor to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender pursuant to Payment Commitments, (y) to honor obligations arising under Payoff Letter Commitments or (z) otherwise to pay the purchase price of New Vehicles. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the New Vehicle Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.07, prepay under Section 2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.07. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan. Except as otherwise provided with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts, immediately upon the making of a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage times the amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan.

(b) Payment Commitments and Payoff Letter Commitments.

(i) The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender is authorized to make New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans for the account of the New Vehicle Borrowers directly to certain individual manufacturers or distributors that provide New Vehicles to the New Vehicle Borrowers, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective Payment Commitment agreed to between the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and each such manufacturer or distributor, and without any further notice as otherwise required in this Section. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan made pursuant to a Payment Commitment shall be a Eurodollar Rate Loan at the time of such Borrowing, but may be converted to a Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The New Vehicle Borrowers shall be and remain jointly and severally liable to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, or the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders, as applicable, for all payments made to a manufacturer or distributor pursuant to a Payment Commitment.

(ii) The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender is authorized to make New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans for the account of the New Vehicle Borrowers directly to certain individual financial institutions that financed New Vehicles owned by or being acquired by the New Vehicle Borrowers, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective Payoff Letter Commitment agreed to between the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and each such financial institution, and without any further notice as otherwise required in this Section. Each New Vehicle Floorplan

72

Swing Line Loan made pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment shall be a Eurodollar Rate Loan at the time of such Borrowing, but may be converted to a Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The New Vehicle Borrowers shall be and remain jointly and severally liable to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, or the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders, as applicable, for all payments made to a financial institution pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment.

(c) Borrowing Procedures. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Borrowing shall be made pursuant to (i) a Payment Commitment, (ii) a Payoff Letter Commitment, or (iii) in the case of a dealer trade, bulk purchase or other purchase of any New Vehicle, pursuant to the Floorplan On-line System in accordance with practices agreed to from time to time between the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and the applicable New Vehicle Borrower, including requirements that the Company or applicable New Vehicle Borrower shall have entered information relating to the applicable New Vehicles (including the dollar amount of such Loans and the make, model and vehicle identification number of such New Vehicles) into the Floorplan On-Line System. The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender will promptly make the amount of its New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan available directly to the manufacturer or distributor pursuant to a Payment Commitment in accordance with industry practices, to the financial institution pursuant to a Payoff Letter Commitment, or to the applicable New Vehicle Borrower by crediting the account of such New Vehicle Borrower. In the case of a dealer trade, bulk purchase or other purchase of any New Vehicle, funds will be credited to the applicable New Vehicle Borrower’s deposit account at the following times depending on whether the deposit account is maintained at Bank of America and when the request is entered pursuant to the Floorplan On-Line System:

(i) if the deposit account is maintained at Bank of America, the funds will be credited to the account (A) on the same Business Day if the request is entered prior to 7:00 p.m. on that day, or (B) on the next Business Day if the request is entered at or after 7:00 p.m. or is entered on a day that is not a Business Day; and

(ii) if the deposit account is maintained at any Person other than Bank of America, the funds will be credited to the account (A) on the following Business Day if the request is received prior to 7:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or (B) two Business Days later if the request is entered at or after 7:00 p.m. or is entered on a day that is not a Business Day.

In either case of clause (i) or (ii), interest shall not accrue on such funds until they are deposited to such applicable deposit account.

If a Payment Commitment, Payoff Letter Commitment or the Floorplan On-Line System (as applicable) fails to specify the Type of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan shall be made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. Each conversion of New Vehicle Swing Line Loans from one Type to the other shall be pursuant to an irrevocable notice to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender by delivery of a New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. If the Company fails to provide a timely New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such

73

Loans shall continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after giving effect to any Borrowing or conversion, all outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Loans of the Company and the New Vehicle Borrowers must be of the same Type.

(d) Asbury New Vehicle Control Period Balances. If at any time during an Asbury New Vehicle Control Period (i) the amount of any repayment of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans exceeds (ii) an amount equal to (A) the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans minus (B) the Floorplan Offset Amount at such time (such excess of the amount in clause (i) over the amount in clause (ii) being referred to as the “Negative New Vehicle Swing Line Balance”), the Outstanding Amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall be reduced by the amount of such repayment. (Y) The Negative New Vehicle Swing Line Balance shall be held by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender to prepay subsequent New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans or, (Z) if and when the Company submits a notice of prepayment of New Vehicle Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(c), the Negative New Vehicle Swing Line Balance may be used to prepay such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Until the Company submits such notice and such Loans are prepaid in accordance with clause (Z), such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans shall continue to accrue interest as otherwise set forth in this Agreement; provided that, with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans in a principal amount equal to the Negative New Vehicle Swing Line Balance, the interest on such portion (the “Specified Committed Loan Interest”) shall be collected by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (at the rate then applicable to New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans) plus a fee equal to $5,000 per day for as long as the Negative New Vehicle Swing Line Balance continues, with such amounts billed monthly and subsequently withdrawn by the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender from the Company’s bank account with Bank of America five Business Days after delivery of such bill. The New Vehicle Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent shall agree on procedures so that (either prior to or promptly after the collection thereof) the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall turn over to the Administrative Agent the Specified Committed Loan Interest for application to the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans.

(e) Authorization. Each New Vehicle Borrower and the Company authorizes the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (and each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender consents to such authorization), in consultation with the Company, to enter into, modify or terminate Payment Commitments and Payoff Letter Commitments (in each case, in the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s discretion) and to advise each manufacturer or distributor or financial institution, as the case may be, that provides New Vehicles to such New Vehicle Borrower of any change or termination which may occur with respect to the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line.

(f) Refinancing of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.

(i) The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request (and during an Asbury New Vehicle Control Period, upon direction of the Company shall request), on behalf of the New Vehicle Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf), that each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender make a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan

74

Percentage of the amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans that the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (or the Company, during an Asbury New Vehicle Control Period), in its sole discretion chooses to refinance (including, subject to Section 2.08(b)(iv), any New Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts, but excluding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in the amount of the Floorplan Offset Amount). The New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender intends to request each New 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.06, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Each New Vehicle 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 to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice (or, if later, one Business Day after the New Vehicle Swing Line Lender delivers such notice), whereupon, subject to Section 2.08(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 Floorplan 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 2.07(c)(i), the request for Eurodollar Rate New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans submitted by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(c) by the time specified in Section 2.07(c)(i), the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees charged by the New Vehicle Swing Line

75

Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such New Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan included in the relevant New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 2.07(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 Floorplan 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 2.07(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 New Vehicle Borrowers (jointly and severally) to repay New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(g) 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each New Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall pay to the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender. The

76

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.

(h) Interest for Account of New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender. The New Vehicle Floorplan 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 2.07 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

(i) 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

2.08 New Vehicle Floorplan Overdrafts. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 2.07,

(a) if the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender has (acting in its discretion), according to the terms hereof, taken action to suspend or terminate Payment Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments and such Payment Commitments and/or Payoff Letter Commitments, as the case may be, have in fact been suspended or terminated in accordance with their respective terms, then the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Credit Extensions 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 Credit Extensions (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 2.23, and such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment shall be funded to the extent of such increase in accordance with said Section; or

77

(iii) regardless of whether the conditions of Section 4.02 have otherwise been met, the New Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender to fund any such New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft; or

(iv) within five (5) Business Days after funding a New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft, if the conditions to making a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan are satisfied, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (or, during any Asbury New Vehicle Control Period, the Company) shall request a New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.06(a) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft and (ii) the maximum amount then available to be borrowed under the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, and such New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing shall be applied to refinance the amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Overdraft (or portion thereof, applicable).

2.09 Electronic Processing. The New Vehicle Borrowers may request New Vehicle Floorplan Loans electronically by access to Administrative Agent’s web based floorplan on-line system (“Floorplan On-line System”) in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions established between the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and the Company from time to time. In connection with the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, interest, curtailments and other payments pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or 2.18(b) or the Fee Letter or otherwise in respect of each New Vehicle, shall be automatically debited (i) if the applicable New Vehicle Borrower’s account is with Bank of America, on the Automatic Debit Date of each month and (ii) if the applicable New Vehicle Borrower’s account is not with Bank of America, one Business Day prior to the Automatic Debt Date of each month, in each case, pursuant to on-line procedures established and agreed to from time to time between such New Vehicle Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, including without limitation, automatic debits to cure Out of Balance conditions pursuant to Section 8.04. The New Vehicle Borrowers have requested access to the Floorplan On-line System to retrieve monthly bills, to permit the New Vehicle Borrowers to access certain account information relating to the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and to facilitate the making of any payments or advances on the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans by authorizing the Administrative Agent and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender to debit or credit any one or more of the New Vehicle Borrowers’ deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender. In consideration for the Administrative Agent’s and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s granting to the New Vehicle Borrowers access to the Floorplan On-line System to view loan account information and make payments, the New Vehicle Borrowers acknowledge responsibility for the security of such New Vehicle Borrowers’ passwords and other information necessary for access to Floorplan On-line System, and the Company and each New Vehicle Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and their employees, agents, and representatives from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity that the Company or any New Vehicle

78

Borrower may now or hereafter have, in any way relating to the Company or any New Vehicle’s Borrower’s access to, or use of, the Floorplan On-line System, other than those arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

2.10 Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan”) to the Used Vehicle Borrowers from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Base, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment. Within the limits of each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Used Vehicle Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.10, prepay under Section 2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.10. Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

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

(a) Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing and each conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, shall be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.11(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Company is requesting a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans from one Type to the other, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing or conversion, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed or converted, (iv) the Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Used Vehicle

79

Floorplan Committed Loans are to be converted and (v) the applicable Borrower. If the Company fails to provide a timely Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice requesting a conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, such Loans shall, subject to Article III, continue as Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan in a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans shall, subject to Article III, be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(b) Following receipt of a Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender of the amount of its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is an initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds.

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

2.12 Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement, the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders set forth in this Section 2.12, to 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan (x) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (y) the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Base, and (z) 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

80

Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, and (ii) the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made or that Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan and all other Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans then outstanding as to which the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; and provided, further, that (subject to the terms of any Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement that may be in effect) 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 2.12, prepay under Section 2.13, and reborrow under this Section 2.12. 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage times the amount of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. At any time a Used Vehicle 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 any 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, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (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 2.12(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 Company and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to, and are hereby authorized to, enter into an Autoborrow Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (the “Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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, a “Used Vehicle Autoborrow Advance”); provided that, (i) in no event shall the Company be entitled to Used Vehicle Autoborrow Advances pursuant to a Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement at any time a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement or New Vehicle Floorplan Offset Agreement is in place and (ii) the Company may, once per calendar year and upon 30 days advance notice to the Administrative Agent and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and upon the payment to the Administrative Agent of a $10,000 fee (which fee may be waived in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), alternate between having a Revolving Autoborrow Agreement and a Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement in place, or between having an Autoborrow Agreement or a New Vehicle Floorplan Offset Agreement in place. At any time such a Used Vehicle 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 Used Vehicle 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 Used Vehicle Autoborrow Agreement. Solely for purposes of determining the availability of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans (other than Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans used to refinance Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans), at any time during which a Used Vehicle 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 Used Vehicle 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender hereunder.

82

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

(i) The Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Company (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan 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 2.11, 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. 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 to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loan Notice (or, if later, one Business Day after the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender delivers such notice), whereupon, subject to Section 2.12(c)(ii), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan to the Company in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 2.12(c)(i), the request for Eurodollar Rate Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans submitted by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12(c) by the time specified in Section 2.12(c)(i), the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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

83

to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees charged by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Borrower or funded participation in the relevant Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 2.12(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 Floorplan 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 2.12(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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loan, the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Used Vehicle Floorplan Lender shall pay to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender its Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage thereof on demand of the

84

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 Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender. The Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 2.12 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender.

2.13 Prepayments.

(a) In addition to the required payments of principal of Revolving Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans set forth in Section 2.16(b), the Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Committed Loans, 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 1:00 p.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 Revolving Committed Loans, 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 Revolving Percentage, Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage or Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as applicable, of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Subject to Section 2.26, each such prepayment of Revolving Committed Loans of the Revolving Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages; each such prepayment of New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentages; and each such prepayment of Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders shall be applied in accordance with their respective Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentages.

The Company shall make such prepayment and the payment amount entered by the Company shall be due and payable on the date such information is timely entered in the Floorplan On-Line System.

(d) The Company may, upon notice to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof outstanding). 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.

(e) If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of (1) the Revolving Borrowing Base or (2) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Company shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.13(e) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the lesser of (1) the Revolving Borrowing Base or (2) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(f) 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 sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(g) 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 or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers (jointly and severally)

86

shall immediately prepay Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(h) If for any reason the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Swing Line Loans exceeds the Revolving Swing Line Sublimit, the Company shall immediately prepay Revolving Swing Line Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(i) If for any reason, the Outstanding Amount of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans exceeds any applicable Within Line Limitation (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers (jointly and severally) shall immediately prepay New Vehicle Floorplan Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

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

(k) Prepayments made in respect of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loan must specify the applicable New Vehicle Borrower and New Vehicle(s) (including the make, model and vehicle identification number of such New Vehicle(s)) attributable to such prepayment.

2.14 Termination, Reduction or Conversion of Commitments.

(a) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, 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 1:00 p.m. fifteen (15) 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) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Borrowing Base, (iv) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total New Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, (v) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Used Vehicle Floorplan Outstandings would exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Base, (vi) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Revolving Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, (vii) 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

87

such excess, (viii) 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 (ix) following any such reduction, no more than 15% of the Aggregate Floorplan Facility Commitments may be Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments. In connection with any reduction of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender in its discretion may suspend and/or terminate all or a portion of the then outstanding Payment Commitments or Payoff Letter Commitments which shall be promptly selected by the Company, in an amount that corresponds to the size of said reduction. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender in accordance with (x) its respective Applicable Revolving Percentage, (y) its respective Applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Percentage and (z) its respective Applicable Used Vehicle Floorplan Percentage, as the case may be. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) At any time there exists any unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Company may, by not less than five days prior written notice and provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, request the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to convert all or a part of such unused portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments into Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, provided, the Company shall not make such conversion if, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Borrowing Base or (y) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, provided further, following any such conversion, (i) the percentage of each Lender’s Commitment allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility shall be equal to the percentage of each other Lender’s Commitment allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) the percentage of each Lender’s Commitment allocated to the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility shall be equal to the percentage of each other Lender’s Commitment allocated to the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility, (iii) the percentage of each Lender’s Commitment allocated to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility shall be equal to the percentage of each other Lender’s Commitment allocated to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility, (iv) no more than 15% of the Aggregate Floorplan Facility Commitments may be allocated to the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and (v) the commitment fee owing and accruing with respect to any Revolving Commitments converted into other types of Commitments under this Section 2.14(b) shall continue to be calculated at the Applicable Rate for commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility. Following such notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent and subject to the foregoing, the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, as applicable, shall upon such request be increased by the amount so requested by the Company, provided further that, such amount together with the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. At any time there exists any unused amount of a converted portion of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments or Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments, the Company may request the Administrative Agent to reverse any such portion thereof, in whole or in part, and in such event the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan

88

Commitments, the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments and the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be restored, as applicable, in the respective amounts so requested by the Company.

(vi) Without limiting any other rights or obligations hereunder, interest, curtailment and other payments then due pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) or Section 2.17(b) shall be automatically debited on the Automatic Debit Date of each month from a deposit account maintained by the applicable New Vehicle Borrower with Bank of America (or from any other account designated by the Company) pursuant to the Floorplan On-line System (provided that if such account is not held with Bank of America, the payments described in this clause (vi) shall be debited one Business Day prior to the Automatic Debit Date, and provided further that if there are not sufficient funds in such account to pay such amounts, then the applicable New Vehicle Borrower shall pay such amounts in cash when due).

(vii) Payments made in respect of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loan must be made through the Floorplan On-Line System and shall not be effective unless (A) the Company has entered the amount of such payment and other required information (including the make, model and vehicle identification number of each respective New

For purposes of clarity, Revolving Swing Line Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and amounts in any New Vehicle Floorplan Offset Account shall not be included in calculating the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Committed Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans used in determining the commitment fees set forth above.

(b) Other Fees. (i) The Company shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(i) The Company shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.18 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.

(a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.20(a), 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) the Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Company shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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, any Lender or any L/C Issuer), 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. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(e)(iii), 2.03(h) or 2.15(b) or under Article VIII. The

93

Company’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

2.19 Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Credit Extensions 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 Credit Extensions 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 respective Borrowers under each Facility shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) (i) a Revolving Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans, (ii) a New Vehicle Floorplan Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Loans, and (iii) a Used Vehicle Floorplan Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans, in each case in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes 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 Letters of Credit, Revolving Swing Line Loans, 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.

2.20 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 Revolving Percentage, 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. All payments to be made by any Borrower hereunder to the New Vehicle

94

Floorplan Swing Line Lender shall be made as follows: upon a New Vehicle Borrower entering information into the Floorplan On-Line System authorizing the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender to debit any amount from such Borrower’s deposit account, such amount will be deemed received by the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender at the following times depending on whether the deposit account is maintained at Bank of America and when the request is entered pursuant to the Floorplan On-Line System:

(i) if the deposit account is maintained at Bank of America, the amount will be deemed received (A) on the same Business Day if the request is entered prior to 7:00 p.m. on that day, or (B) on the next Business Day if the request is entered at or after 7:00 p.m. or is entered on a day that is not a Business Day; and

(ii) if the deposit account is maintained at any Person other than Bank of America, the amount will be deemed received (A) on the following Business Day if the request is received prior to 7:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or (B) two Business Days later if the request is entered at or after 7:00 p.m. or is entered on a day that is not a Business Day.

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, Section 2.07 or Section 2.12 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company or applicable 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 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 Vehicle Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Company or any other Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Company or any other Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Company or applicable 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

95

without prejudice to any claim the Company or any other Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; 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 or any L/C Issuer 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, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 Credit Extension 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 Revolving Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders in each Facility hereunder to make Committed Loans with respect to such Facility, to fund participations in the applicable Swing Line Loans under such Facility and, if applicable, Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint within each such Facility. The failure of any Lender to make any 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 Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e) 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.

2.21 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

96

on any of the Revolving Committed Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations, Revolving Swing Line Loans, 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 Revolving Committed Loans, 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 Revolving Facility, New Vehicle Floorplan Facility or Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Revolving Committed Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans, or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Revolving Swing Line Loans, 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 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 provided for in Section 2.25, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Committed Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations, Revolving Swing Line Loans, 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 to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.22 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Revolving Lenders), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase

97

shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving 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 Revolving Lenders).

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

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Revolving Lender of the Revolving 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, the L/C Issuers and the Revolving Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Revolving 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 Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Revolving Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) 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 in all material respects on and as of the Revolving 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 in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.22, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The Company shall prepay any Committed Revolving Loans outstanding on the Revolving Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.21 or 10.01 to the contrary.

98

2.23 Increase in Floorplan Commitments.

Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the applicable Floorplan Lenders), the Company may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Facility Commitments or the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitments by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $225,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, and (ii) the Company may make a maximum of two such requests in any fiscal year; and provided further that following such increase, at least 85% of the Aggregate Floorplan Facility Commitments must be allocated to the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitments. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Floorplan 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 applicable Floorplan Lenders).

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

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Floorplan Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Floorplan Lender of the Floorplan 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, and the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Company may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Floorplan 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 Floorplan Facility Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Floorplan Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.

99

such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.23, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The Company shall prepay any Committed Floorplan Facility Loans outstanding on the Floorplan Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Floorplan Facility Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Floorplan Commitments under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.21 or 10.01 to the contrary.

2.24 New Vehicle Borrowers.

(a) Effective as of the date hereof, each Subsidiary that has executed this Agreement as a New Vehicle Borrower 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; provided, that Subsidiaries that own or operate a Ford or Lincoln dealership shall not be required to (and may not) become a New Vehicle Borrower, unless the FMCC Indebtedness Termination has occurred.

(b) If, at any time, any Subsidiary engages in the sale or leasing of Vehicles and, unless the FMCC Indebtedness Termination has occurred, does not own or operate a Ford or Lincoln dealership, the Company shall designate such Subsidiary as a New Vehicle Borrower and 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 New Vehicle Floorplan Facility the Administrative Agent, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, and the other Lenders shall have received the documents required by Section 6.14. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, 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 Floorplan Swing Line Lender and the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders or related fees, in each case, 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 Floorplan Facility Liabilities”).

100

(d) With respect to the New Vehicle Borrowers’ joint and several liability as provided hereunder, 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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 Floorplan Facility 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) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a “New Vehicle Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.24 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

101

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.

2.25 Used Vehicle Borrowers.

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

(b) If, at any time, any Subsidiary engages in the sale or leasing of Vehicles, the Company shall designate such Subsidiary as a Used Vehicle Borrower and 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 Used Vehicle Borrower; provided that a Used Vehicle Borrower shall not be required to execute a Joinder Agreement if such Used 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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall have received the documents required by Section 6.14. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, each of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders agrees to permit such Used Vehicle Borrower to receive Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans, other than Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans, hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Used Vehicle Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Used Vehicle Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable as a primary obligor, and not merely as surety, for any and all Obligations under the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility now or hereafter owed to the Administrative Agent and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders with respect to Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans or related fees, in each case, 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 “Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility Liabilities”).

(d) With respect to the Used Vehicle Borrowers’ joint and several liability as provided hereunder, each Used 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 or any of the Related Agreement; (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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility

102

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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility 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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility 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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility 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 Used Vehicle Borrower) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Used 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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility Liabilities. It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that the joint and several liability of each Used Vehicle Borrower for the Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility 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 Used Vehicle Borrower (other than the Company) with respect to its Used Vehicle Floorplan Facility 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) Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a “Used Vehicle Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.25 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 Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans made by the Lenders to any such Used 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 each Used Vehicle Borrower.

2.26 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.26(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) 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 (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lenders), and agrees to maintain, a first priority 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, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.25(c). 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 the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers 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 such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.25 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.07, 2.12] 2.13, 2.25, 8.02 or 8.04 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.25 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.06), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may

104

agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.27 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That 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 that 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 that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans under any Facility or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Lenders’ respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any

105

Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender under the applicable Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.17(a) for any period during which that 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 that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Revolving Swing Line Loans, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.07 and 2.12, 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 aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Revolving Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Committed Loans of that Lender, (ii) in all cases, the aggregate 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, of (1) the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of such Lender, and (iii) in all cases, the aggregate 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, of (1) the Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Committed Loans of such Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing in their sole 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that 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 Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and 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 2.26(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made

106

retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company or any other Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Company or such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Company or any such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Company and each other Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Company, any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising

107

therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Company or any other Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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 or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Company or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). 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 or an L/C Issuer, 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 by 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

108

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 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 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

109

(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, the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender by or on account of any obligation hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement (and thus not limited to amendments or successor provisions that are substantively comparable to Sections 1471-1474 of the Code as in effect on the date hereof).

(iv) 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, the applicable Borrower 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 an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or an L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an L/C Issuer 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 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, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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,

110

upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer 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 Committed 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), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Committed

111

Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding 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, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into (i) in the case of Committed Loans, a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of a Swing Line Loan, a request for a Swing Line Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan, 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)) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except 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 such L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Company and each other Borrower (jointly and severally) will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements

112

has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, 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 or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that neither the Company nor any other Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’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 absent manifest error), 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.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents

160

(except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The foregoing notwithstanding, upon the discharge of the retiring Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder, neither the retiring Administrative Agent nor the successor Administrative Agent or any New Vehicle Swing Line Lender shall be required to honor any request by a vehicle manufacturer or distributor or financial institution for advance of a New Vehicle Swing Line Loan, unless and until (A) such successor Administrative Agent and such manufacturer or distributor or financial institution (and if required pursuant to the terms of such Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment, the applicable New Vehicle Borrower) have entered into a new Payment Commitment or Payoff Letter Commitment, and (B) any existing Payment Commitment between such manufacturer or distributor or Payoff Commitment Letter between such financial institution and the retiring Administrative Agent has been terminated. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender; provided that Bank of America shall continue to serve as New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender for at least 75 days following delivery of a notice of resignation as Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the

161

Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Company or any other Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.17 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.17 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of

162

any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Company or any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

170

(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 assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Revolving Swing Line Loans) or its New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans at the time owing to it (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans), or its Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and the Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans at the time owing to it (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans) (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 any Applicable Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it under such 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

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, 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 $5,000,000 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);

171

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 Loans and Commitments assigned; and each assignment (whether partial or total) shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments under each of the Facilities; except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of the Revolving Swing Line Lender’s, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s or New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its applicable Swing Line Loans.

(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 ten (10) 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 L/C Issuers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the applicable Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of any Applicable Facility.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each 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 processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

172

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or (C) any competitor of the Company which has been identified in writing by the Company in a document that has been posted on a site maintained by the Administrative Agent and available to all of the Lenders prior to assignor’s and assignee’s execution of the applicable Assignment and Assumption (any such Person, a “Competitor”), 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. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for determining whether any assignee is a Competitor.

(vi) Representation Regarding Competitors. The Assignment and Assumption shall contain a representation and warranty (A) from the assignor that the assignee is not a Competitor and (B) from the assignee that it is not primarily engaged in the business of owning or operating automobile dealerships.

(vii) 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 Letters of Credit and 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 Eligible 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

173

Revolving Note, New Vehicle Floorplan Note and Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 Company (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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, any Lender and any L/C Issuer, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company, any Borrower, the Revolving Swing Line Lender, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than (x) a natural person, (y) the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (z) any competitor of the Company which has been identified in writing by the Company in a document that has been made available to all of the Lenders) (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 L/C Obligations, Revolving Swing Line Loans, 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, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for determining whether any Participant is a competitor.

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 and shall contain a representation and warranty (A) from the Lender selling the participation that the prospective participant is not a Competitor and (B) from the prospective participant that it is not primarily engaged in the business of owning or operating automobile dealerships; 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, the

174

Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 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 2.21 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 Company, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(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 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) Resignation as L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (A) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (B) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as Revolving Swing Line Lender and/or (C) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company, resign as New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and/or (D) upon 30 days notice to the Company, resign as Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, and (ii) if any time any other L/C Issuer assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such L/C Issuer may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan 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 or any other Person as L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America or any other Person resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Eurodollar Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Revolving Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Revolving Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Revolving Swing Line

175

Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Revolving Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the New Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(d). If Bank of America resigns as Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Used Vehicle Floorplan Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and/or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America or such other applicable retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America or the applicable retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers 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, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(c) or 2.23(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any Subsidiary relating to Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other

176

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

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer 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, such L/C Issuer 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 or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer 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 or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.26 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, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer 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

177

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 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 shall become effective when it 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 by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

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 L/C Issuers, the Revolving Swing Line Lender, the New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender or the Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lenders, 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 other Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any

178

Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or any Lender fails to approve any amendment, waiver or consent requested by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01 that has received the written approval of not less than the Required Lenders but also requires the approval of such 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 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) 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.

(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE COMPANY AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. THE COMPANY AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

EXHIBIT 10.2

EXECUTION VERSION

COMPANY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS COMPANY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of October 14, 2011 (this “Company Guaranty Agreement”), is entered into between ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor” or the “Company”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

RECITALS:

A. Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time as New Vehicle Borrowers or Used Vehicle Borrowers (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and as an L/C Issuer, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), the Lenders have agreed to provide (i) to the Company, a revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit and swing line facility, (ii) to the New Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility, including a new vehicle swing line subfacility and (iii) to the Used Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, including a used vehicle swing line subfacility.

B. Certain additional extensions of credit may be made from time to time for the benefit of the Company or the other Loan Parties pursuant to certain Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

C. It is a condition precedent to the Secured Parties’ obligations to make and maintain such extensions of credit that the Company shall have executed and delivered this Company Guaranty Agreement to the Administrative Agent.

D. Each of the other Loan Parties is a Subsidiary of the Company.

E. The Company will materially benefit from the Loans to be made, and the Letters of Credit to be issued, under the Credit Agreement, and such other extensions of credit.

In order to induce the Secured Parties to make and maintain extensions of credit from time to time under the Credit Agreement and under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. The Company hereby unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Company Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means: (a) each

Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from any Borrower to any one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal, interest, and fees (including fees and expenses of counsel); (b) each Loan Party’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such Loan Party under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the prompt payment in full by each Loan Party, when due or declared due and at all such times, of obligations and liabilities now or hereafter arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. The Company’s obligations to the Secured Parties under this Company Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor’s Obligations”.

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

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

For purposes of this Company Guaranty Agreement, the following terms have the following definitions:

“Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (b) all Obligations have been paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank have been made), and (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers shall have been made).

2. Payment. If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, fees (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then the Company will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing or declared or deemed to be due and owing, including for this purpose, in the event of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.03(g) of the Credit Agreement (and irrespective of the applicability of any restriction on acceleration or other action as against any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws), the entire outstanding or accrued amount of all Obligations or (ii) perform such Guaranteed Liabilities, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 2, the Company acknowledges and agrees that “Guaranteed Liabilities” shall be deemed to include any amount (whether principal, interest or fees) which would have been accelerated in accordance

2

with Section 8.02 or 8.04 of the Credit Agreement but for the fact that such acceleration could be unenforceable or not allowable under any Debtor Relief Law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3

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

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Company, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantor’s Obligations.

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

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

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

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

4

agent and bailee of the Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of the Company.

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

8. Set-Off and Waiver. The Company acknowledges the right of set off granted pursuant to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement and waives any right to assert against any Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which the Company may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to the Company.

9. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.

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

(b) The Company hereby agrees that payment or performance by the Company of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Company Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon demand

5

by the Administrative Agent to the Company without the Administrative Agent being required, the Company expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY THE COMPANY THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS COMPANY GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

(c) The Company further agrees that with respect to this Company Guaranty Agreement the Company shall not exercise any of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities until 93 days immediately following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by the Company against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to the Company on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Company Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantor’s Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantor’s Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Company Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

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

The Company covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that any Borrower has agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(b) The Company agrees that any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to the Loan Documents may bear interest in accordance with Section 2.16(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.

14. Reliance. The Company represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: (a) the Company has adequate means to obtain on a continuing basis (i) from each Borrower, information concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan Parties’ financial condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Company Guaranty Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete access to the Loan Parties’ books and records and to such Other Information; (b) the Company is not relying on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, to provide any such information, now or in the future; (c) the Company has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents and Related Agreements as it has requested, is executing this Company Guaranty Agreement freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Company Guaranty Agreement; (d) the Company has relied solely on the Company’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, each such Person’s financial condition and affairs, the “Other Information”, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this Company Guaranty Agreement and is fully aware of the same; and (e) the Company has not depended or relied on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any information whatsoever concerning the Loan Parties or the Loan Parties’ financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to the Company’s decision to provide this Company Guaranty Agreement, or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise therefor with respect to such

7

decision. The Company agrees that no Secured Party has any duty or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to the Company any information concerning any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any such Person’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if the Company receives any such information from any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, the Company will independently verify the information and will not rely on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, with respect to such information.

EXECUTION VERSION

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of October 14, 2011 (this “Guaranty Agreement”), is entered into among EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

RECITALS:

A. Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time as New Vehicle Borrowers or Used Vehicle Borrowers (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and as an L/C Issuer, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), the Lenders have agreed to provide (i) to the Company, a revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit and swing line facility, (ii) to the New Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility, including a new vehicle swing line subfacility and (iii) to the Used Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, including a used vehicle swing line subfacility.

B. Certain additional extensions of credit may be made from time to time for the benefit of the Guarantors or the other Loan Parties pursuant to certain Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

C. It is a condition precedent to the Secured Parties’ obligations to make and maintain such extensions of credit that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty Agreement to the Administrative Agent.

D. Each Guarantor is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary of the Company and will materially benefit from the Loans to be made, and the Letters of Credit to be issued, under the Credit Agreement, and such other extensions of credit.

In order to induce the Secured Parties to make and maintain extensions of credit from time to time under the Credit Agreement and under the Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of

the Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means: (a) each Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from any Borrower to any one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal, interest, and fees (including fees and expenses of counsel); (b) each Loan Party’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such Loan Party under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the prompt payment in full by each Loan Party, when due or declared due and at all such times, of obligations and liabilities now or hereafter arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. The Guarantors’ obligations to the Secured Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

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

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

For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, the following terms have the following definitions:

“Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (b) all Obligations have been paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank have been made), and (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers shall have been made).

2. Payment. If the Company or any other Loan Party shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, fees (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, (i) fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to any restriction on each

2

Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing or declared or deemed to be due and owing, including for this purpose, in the event of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or 8.03(g) of the Credit Agreement (and irrespective of the applicability of any restriction on acceleration or other action as against any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws), the entire outstanding or accrued amount of all Obligations or (ii) perform such Guaranteed Liabilities, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 2, the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that “Guaranteed Liabilities” shall be deemed to include any amount (whether principal, interest or fees) which would have been accelerated in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.04 of the Credit Agreement but for the fact that such acceleration could be unenforceable or not allowable under any Debtor Relief Law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or

3

partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;

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

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

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

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

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

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

6. Subordination. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 21 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (a) of each Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities, (b) of every other Guarantor (an “obligated

4

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

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

8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor acknowledges the right of set-off granted pursuant to Section 10.08 of the Credit Agreement and waives any right to assert against any Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to such Guarantor.

9. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and issuing Letters of Credit and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Loan Party giving rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof. Each

5

Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

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

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees that with respect to this Guaranty Agreement, such Guarantor shall not exercise any of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities until 93 days immediately following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 21 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner,

6

including but not limited to termination in accordance with Section 21 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

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

11. Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Agreement regarding Interest.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Credit Agreement by each Borrower with respect to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that any Borrower has agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to the Loan Documents may bear interest in accordance with Section 2.16(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.

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

13. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time payment received by any Secured Party in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored for any reason, or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or threatened avoidance claim.

14. Reliance. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: (a) such Guarantor has adequate means to obtain on a continuing basis (i) from each Borrower, information concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan Parties’ financial condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and any Joinder Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete access to the Loan Parties’ books and records and to such Other Information; (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, to provide any such information, now or in the future; (c) such Guarantor has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents and Related Agreements as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement (or the Joinder Agreement

7

to which it is a party, as applicable) freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement); (d) such Guarantor has relied solely on the Guarantor’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, each such Person’s financial condition and affairs, the Other Information, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement) and is fully aware of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any information whatsoever concerning the Loan Parties or the Loan Parties’ financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Joinder Agreement), or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise therefor with respect to such decision. Each Guarantor agrees that no Secured Party has any duty or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to such Guarantor any information concerning any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any such Person’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if such Guarantor receives any such information from any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, such Guarantor will independently verify the information and will not rely on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, with respect to such information.

15. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any extension of credit referred to herein or guaranteed hereby.

16. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. Except as provided in Section 21, neither this Guaranty Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

17. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Guaranty Agreement, each Joinder Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, and to their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Guaranty Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any other interest herein or therein except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 17, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to

8

the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof concerning assignments and participations. All references herein to the Administrative Agent shall include any successor thereof.

18. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder (including the release, impairment or modification of any Guarantors’ Obligations or security therefor) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.

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

20. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Guarantors against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 20, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement.

21. Termination. Subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 13 hereof, this Guaranty Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all of the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder (excluding those Guarantors’ obligations relating to Guaranteed Liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date.

5

and remain duly perfected and of first priority subject only, to the extent applicable, to Liens allowed to exist under Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement (“Permitted Liens”). All financing statements (including all amendments thereto and continuations thereof), control agreements, certificates, acknowledgments, stock powers and other documents, electronic identification, restrictive legends, and instruments furnished in connection with the creation, enforcement, protection, perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in Collateral, including such items as are described above in this Section 3, are sometimes referred to herein as “Perfection Documents”.

4. Maintenance of Security Interest; Further Assurances.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to file (with, or to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the signature of the Grantor appearing thereon) financing statements (including amendments thereto and initial financing statements in lieu of continuation statements) showing such Grantor as “debtor” at such time or times and in all filing offices as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, or otherwise to give effect to the transactions herein contemplated, any of which financing statements, at the Administrative Agent’s election, may describe the Collateral as or including all assets or personal property (other than Fixtures) of the Grantor.

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

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

6

5. Preservation and Protection of Collateral.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty or liability with respect to the collection, protection or preservation of the Collateral, or otherwise. Each Grantor shall be responsible for the safekeeping of its Collateral, and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have any responsibility for (i) any loss or damage thereto or destruction thereof occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (ii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iii) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee or forwarding agency thereof or other Person in any way dealing with or handling such Collateral.

(b) Upon the failure of any Grantor to pay or contest taxes, charges, or assessments, or cause Liens to be terminated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent at its option may (following 10 days written notice to the applicable Grantor in the event no Event of Default is then occurring, and in the event an Event of Default is then occurring, at any time) pay or contest any of them or amounts relating thereto (the Administrative Agent having the sole right to determine the legality or validity and the amount necessary to discharge such taxes, charges, Liens or assessments) but shall not have any obligation to make any such payment or contest. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including all fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.

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

(a) It hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Credit Agreement by the Borrowers with respect to such Grantor. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until the Facility Termination Date, it will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement to be performed by it or them or that the Borrowers have agreed, in the Credit Agreement, to cause it or them to perform.

(b) It is at its Applicable Date (or as to Collateral acquired after its Applicable Date will be upon the acquisition of the same) and, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement and subsection (e) of this Section 6, will continue to be, the owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, other than the security interest hereunder in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and Permitted Liens, and that it will at its own cost and expense defend such Collateral and any products and proceeds thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) in order to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest. Upon the failure of any Grantor to so defend, the Administrative Agent may do so at its option but shall not have any obligation to do so. All sums so disbursed by the Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other

7

(iii) All dividends and other distributions with respect to any of the Investment Property shall be subject to the security interest conferred hereunder, provided, however, that cash dividends paid to a Grantor as record owner of the Investment Property may be disbursed to and retained by such Grantor (subject to clause iv below), free from any Lien hereunder.

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

(v) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent, all rights of the Grantors to exercise the voting or consensual rights and powers which it is authorized to exercise pursuant to clause (iv) immediately above shall cease and the Administrative Agent may thereupon (but shall not be obligated to), at its request, cause such Collateral to be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee or agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and/or exercise such voting or consensual rights and powers as appertain to ownership of such Collateral, and to that end each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its proxy, with full power of substitution, to vote and exercise all other rights as a shareholder with respect to such Investment Property upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, which proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Facility Termination Date, and each Grantor hereby agrees to provide such further proxies as the Administrative Agent may request; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent in its discretion may from time to time refrain from exercising, and shall not be obligated to exercise, any such voting or consensual rights or such proxy.

12

(vi) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, all rights of the Grantors to receive and retain cash dividends and other distributions upon or in respect to Investment Property pursuant to clause (iii) above shall cease and shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and each Grantor shall, or shall cause, all such cash dividends and other distributions with respect to the Investment Property to be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent (together, if the Administrative Agent shall request, with any documents related thereto) to be held, released or disposed of by it hereunder or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to be applied to the Secured Obligations.

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

13

(g) Instruments. With respect to its Instruments whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that such Grantor shall (i) maintain at all times, and furnish to the Administrative Agent at its reasonable request, a current list identifying in reasonable detail Instruments of which such Grantor is the payee or holder and having a face amount payable in excess of $1,000,000, and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, deliver to the Administrative Agent the originals of all such Instruments, together with duly executed undated endorsements in blank affixed thereto and such other documentation and information as may be necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to realize upon the Instruments in accordance with their respective terms or transfer the Instruments as may be permitted under the Loan Documents or by applicable law.

(h) Commercial Tort Claims. With respect to its Commercial Tort Claims whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired and wheresoever located, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that Schedule 8(h) attached hereto contains a true and complete list of all Commercial Tort Claims in which any Grantor has an interest and which have been identified by a Grantor as of its Applicable Date, and as to which the Grantor believes in good faith there exists the possibility of recovery (including by way of settlement) of monetary relief in excess of $2,500,000 (“Grantor Claims”). Each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon its request a certificate of an officer of such Grantor referring to this Section 8(h) and (x) identifying all Grantor Claims that are not then described on Schedule 8(h) attached hereto and stating that each of such additional Grantor Claims shall be deemed added to such Schedule 8(h) and shall constitute a Commercial Tort Claim, a Grantor Claim, and additional Collateral hereunder, and (y) summarizing the status or disposition of any Grantor Claims that have been settled, or have been made the subject of any binding mediation, judicial or arbitral proceeding, or any judicial or arbitral order on the merits, or that have been abandoned. With respect to each such additional Grantor Claim, such Grantor Claim shall be and become part of the Collateral hereunder from the date such claim is identified to the Administrative Agent as provided above without further action, and (ii) the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized at the expense of the applicable Grantor to execute and file such additional financing statements or amendments to previously filed financing statements, and take such other action as it may deem necessary or advisable, to perfect the Lien on such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder, and the Grantor shall, if required by applicable law or otherwise at the request of the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver such Perfection Documents and take such other Perfection Action as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary or advisable to perfect or protect the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such additional Grantor Claims conferred hereunder.

(a) Each Grantor will keep the Collateral continuously insured against such risks as are customarily insured against by businesses of like size and type engaged in the same or similar operations including:

15

(iv) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all insurance policies where applicable under Section 9(a)(i) carried on the Collateral shall name the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as loss payee and the Administrative Agent and Lenders as parties insured thereunder in respect of any claim for payment.

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

(d) With respect to each claim in the amount of $500,000, each Grantor hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item or payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, however, that the powers pursuant to such appointment shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

(e) In the event such Grantor shall fail to maintain, or fail to cause to be maintained, the full insurance coverage required hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may contract for the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same or make any required repairs, renewals and replacements and all sums so disbursed by Administrative Agent, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges related thereto, shall be payable on demand by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, shall be additional Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral.

(f) The Net Proceeds of the insurance carried pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(a)(ii) and 9(a)(iii) shall be applied by such Grantor toward satisfaction of the claim or liability with respect to which such insurance proceeds may be paid, provided that, if such Grantor has satisfied such claim or liability prior to receiving such proceeds, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse such Grantor.

(g) At all times during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive direct and immediate payment of the proceeds of insurance maintained pursuant to the provisions of Section 10(a)(i) and such Grantor shall take all action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to accomplish such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Grantor shall receive any such proceeds, such Grantor shall immediately deliver such proceeds to such Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties

16

as additional Collateral, and pending such delivery shall hold such proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and keep the same segregated from its other funds.

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

(i) Subject to Section 9(d), each Grantor is hereby authorized and empowered to adjust or compromise any loss under any such insurance other than losses relating to claims made directly against any Secured Party as to which the insurance described in Section 9(a)(ii) or (iii) is applicable.

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

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

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

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

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

17

(d) The right to (i) exercise all of a Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Supporting Obligations and General Intangibles (collectively, “Payment Collateral”), including the right to demand payment thereof and enforce payment, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (ii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew all or any Payment Collateral or any legal proceedings pertaining thereto; (iii) discharge and release all or any Payment Collateral; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds referred to in Section 5 above; (v) prepare, file and sign a Grantor’s name on any Proof of Claim in bankruptcy, notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in any action or proceeding adverse to any obligor under any Payment Collateral or otherwise in connection with any Payment Collateral; (vi) endorse the name of a Grantor upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight bill, bill of lading or similar document or agreement relating to any Collateral; (vii) use the information recorded on or contained on a Grantor’s internet website or otherwise in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral to which a Grantor has access; (viii) open such Grantor’s mail and collect any and all amounts due to such Grantor from any Account Debtors or other obligor in respect of Payment Collateral; (ix) take over such Grantor’s post office boxes or make other arrangements as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, deems necessary to receive such Grantor’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to such address as the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may designate; (x) notify any or all Account Debtors or other obligor on any Payment Collateral that such Payment Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that Administrative Agent has a security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties (provided that the Administrative Agent may at any time give such notice to an Account Debtor that is a department, agency or authority of the United States government); each Grantor hereby agrees that any such notice, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may (but need not) be sent on such Grantor’s stationery, in which event such Grantor shall co-sign such notice with the Administrative Agent if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent; and (xi) do all acts and things and execute all documents necessary, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to collect the Payment Collateral; and

(e) The right to sell all or any Collateral in its then existing condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at such time or times, at public or private sale or sales, with such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, with or without representations and warranties, all as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use a Grantor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral for the

18

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

19

circumstances to dispose of Affected Collateral shall be deemed to be dispositions in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that a ready market may not exist for Affected Collateral that is not traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system.

The net cash proceeds resulting from the collection, liquidation, sale, or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel) of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, collecting, liquidating and the like, and then to the satisfaction of all Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor shall be liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand any deficiency which may remain after such sale, disposition, collection or liquidation of the Collateral.

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

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

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

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

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

20

12. Reinstatement. The granting of a security interest in the Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Security Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.

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

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

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

15. Other Rights. The rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties by this Security Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party under any other Loan Document or by virtue of any statute or rule of law. Any forbearance or failure or

21

delay by the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy, and any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof; and every right, power and remedy of the Secured Parties shall continue in full force and effect until such right, power or remedy is specifically waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

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

17. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written. The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof or thereof. Neither this Security Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

18. Third Party Reliance. Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all issuers of or obligors in respect of any Collateral, and all securities intermediaries, warehousemen, bailees, public officials and other Persons having any interest in, possession of, control over or right, privilege, duty or discretion in respect of, any Collateral shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any of such Persons.

19. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Security Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or any interest herein or therein or, except as expressly permitted herein or in the

22

Credit Agreement, in the Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 19, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations). All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

20. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedging Agreements. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Security Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.

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

22. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Security Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement.

23. Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those

23

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

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

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

26. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Security Agreement and each Joinder Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any Credit Extensions referred to herein or secured hereby.

27. Governing Law; Waivers.

(b) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY SECURITY JOINDER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR A JOINDER AGREEMENT, EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OR TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

EXHIBIT 10.5

EXECUTION VERSION

ESCROW AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 14, 2011 by ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and a “Grantor”), EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED SUBSIDIARIES OF THE COMPANY AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a “Grantor”, and collectively with the Company, the “Grantors”), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time as New Vehicle Borrowers or Used Vehicle Borrowers (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Revolving Swing Line Lender, New Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender, Used Vehicle Floorplan Swing Line Lender and as an L/C Issuer, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Lenders”), the Lenders have agreed to provide (i) to the Company, a revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit and swing line facility, (ii) to the New Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving new vehicle floorplan facility, including a new vehicle swing line subfacility and (iii) to the Used Vehicle Borrowers, a revolving used vehicle floorplan facility, including a used vehicle swing line subfacility.

B. Certain additional extensions of credit may be made from time to time for the benefit of the Grantors or the other Loan Parties pursuant to certain Secured Cash Management and Secured Hedge Agreements (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

C. Each Grantor will materially benefit from the Loans to be made, and the Letters of Credit to be issued, under the Credit Agreement, and such other extensions of credit, and (i) the Company, in addition to being a Borrower, is party to the Company Guaranty pursuant to which the Company guarantees the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, (ii) certain of the Grantors are Vehicle Borrowers, and (iii) each Grantor (other than the Company) is a party (as signatory or by joinder) to the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to which such Grantor guarantees the Obligations of the other Loan Parties.

D. In order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Loan Documents and to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, each Grantor has agreed to make all shares of capital stock or Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries described on Schedule I (as such schedule may be supplemented from time to time) (collectively, the “Escrow Subsidiaries”) of the respective Grantor subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

E. The Equity Interests in the Escrow Subsidiaries are not permitted to be pledged under the terms of the applicable Franchise Agreements, Framework Agreements or similar manufacturer agreements of such Escrow Subsidiaries (the “Restricted Equity Interests”).

F. In lieu of a pledge by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent of the Restricted Equity Interests, the Grantors shall grant a security interest in certain Disposition Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.01 below) of such Restricted Equity Interests.

G. To further protect the Secured Parties, the Grantors will deliver the Escrowed Shares (as defined in Section 1.01 below) into escrow to be held in accordance with this Agreement.

H. It is a condition precedent to the Secured Parties’ obligations to make and maintain such extensions of credit that the Grantors shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Administrative Agent.

In order to induce the Secured Parties to from time to time make and maintain extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and such Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements, and in further consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

ESCROW

1.01 Escrow. Upon the terms hereof, each Grantor hereby delivers to the Administrative Agent, in escrow (the “Escrow”) all of the issued and outstanding certificated shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests now or hereafter owned by such Grantor described on Schedule I attached hereto and incorporated herein, as Schedule I may be amended or supplemented from time to time (collectively, the “Escrowed Shares”).

1.02 Terms of Escrow. (a) The parties hereby appoint the Administrative Agent as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment as escrow agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall disburse all or any part of the Escrowed Shares as follows: any time the Administrative Agent receives (i) a written notification executed by a Grantor (or such Grantor’s successor interest to the Escrowed Shares) advising the Administrative Agent of a proposed Disposition (as defined below) of Escrowed Shares or Restricted Disposition Proceeds, (ii) (subject to Section 4.04(a)) all Disposition Proceeds (as herein defined) paid or payable to Grantors in respect of such Escrowed Shares, and (iii) if other than cash, duly executed instruments of assignment and delivery, the Administrative Agent shall immediately release such portion of the Escrowed Shares, subject to clause (f), as is specified in such written notice to the Persons specified in such written notice.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of, or the execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or

2

property received, held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon, or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority, or rights of the Persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any document or property or this Agreement.

(d)     (i) In its capacity as escrow agent, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any Person, to make any payment or delivery of Disposition Proceeds, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery thereof to be made, or to enforce any obligation of any Person to perform any other act. The Administrative Agent shall be under no liability to any Person by reason of any failure on the part of any other Person to perform such Person’s obligations under any agreement involving or relating in any way to the Escrowed Shares or the Disposition thereof by the Grantors.

(ii) The Administrative Agent in its role as escrow agent shall not be liable to the Grantors or to any other Person for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Administrative Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Administrative Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but as to the acceptability and reliability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons.

(e) The Grantors shall pay all income, withholding and any other taxes imposed on or measured by income which are attributable to income from the Escrowed Shares and the Disposition Proceeds for the time all or any part thereof are held in escrow hereunder, and shall file all tax and information returns applicable thereto. To the extent that the Administrative Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds, the Administrative Agent may but shall not be obligated to pay such taxes. The Administrative Agent may withhold or offset from any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to the Grantors such amount as the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion to be sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes; alternately any such amount paid by the Administrative Agent shall become a part of the Obligations. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Grantors from and against any liability for such taxes and for any penalties or interest in respect of taxes on such investment income or payments in the manner provided in subparagraph (k) below.

(f) The Administrative Agent is acting as an escrow agent only with respect to the Escrowed Shares and related Restricted Disposition Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.01 below). If any dispute arises as to whether the Administrative Agent is obligated to deliver the Escrowed Shares or as to whom the Escrowed Shares are to be delivered, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event the Administrative Agent may hold the Escrowed Shares until receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition

3

Proceeds and (i) instructions in writing, signed by all parties which have, or claim to have, an interest in the Escrowed Shares, directing the disposition of the Escrowed Shares, or (ii) in the absence of such writing, a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction or final binding arbitration award providing for the disposition of the Escrowed Shares.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Grantors for all expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in the administration of its duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, all attorneys’, advisors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and all taxes or other governmental charges.

(h) The Administrative Agent may resign as escrow agent at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder. As soon as practicable after its resignation, the Administrative Agent shall turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by it and the Grantors all Escrowed Shares held hereunder upon presentation of a document appointing the successor escrow agent and its acceptance thereof. If no successor escrow agent is so appointed within the 30-day period following such notice of resignation, the Administrative Agent may deposit the Escrowed Shares with any court in the United States it deems appropriate.

(i) From time to time on and after the date hereof, including without limitation concurrently with the delivery of a written notice as provided in Section 1.02(b), the Grantors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.

(j) It is agreed that the Grantor shall retain all rights to dividends, all rights to vote and all other rights in respect of ownership of the Escrowed Shares, subject only to the Security Interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (each as defined in Section 2.01 below); provided, that any certificated Restricted Equity Interests received as a dividend or other distribution in respect of Escrowed Shares shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, in escrow, to be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(k) EACH GRANTOR SHALL AND DOES HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT AND AFFILIATES (EACH AN “INDEMNITEE” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNITEES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, COSTS, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, EXPENSES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE INCLUDING ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES INCURRED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH (“LIABILITIES”) WHICH ANY INDEMNITEE INCURS OR SUSTAINS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER, THE ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY INDEMNITEE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE ESCROWED SHARES AND/OR THE DISPOSITION PROCEEDS

4

HELD BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER OR ANY INCOME EARNED THEREFROM INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITIES WHICH ARISE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM THE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER SOLE OR CONCURRENT ON THE PART OF ANY INDEMNITEE BUT EXPRESSLY EXCLUDING THEREFROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE. THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE SATISFACTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE II.

Upon any Disposition of all or a part of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (including without limitation any foreclosure sale, any other forced sale or any sale or disposition arising or occurring pursuant to a plan in bankruptcy), subject to Section 4.04(a) the Grantors shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the Disposition Proceeds, including (with respect to any certificated Disposition Proceeds) duly executed instruments of transfer, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The term “certificated” when used with the term “Disposition Proceeds” shall mean any such Disposition Proceeds which are evidenced or represented by a note, certificate, instrument, chattel paper or other written evidence of ownership or entitlement.

Each Grantor covenants and agrees that:

4.01 Further Assurances.

(a) Each Grantor will from time to time at its expense promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or in any Joinder Agreement, in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, in the priority thereof, or to create or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and the rights and powers of Administrative Agent herein or in any Joinder Agreement, or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or thereunder with respect to any of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(c) Each Grantor will furnish to Administrative Agent from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and such other reports in connection with the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(d) In addition to such other information as shall be specifically provided for herein, each Grantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such other information with respect to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or the protection, preservation, maintenance or enforcement of the Security Interest or the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, including, without limitation, all documents and things in such Grantor’s

8

possession, or subject to its demand for possession, related to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that if such Grantor shall at any time acquire any certificates representing additional Restricted Equity Interests of any Escrow Subsidiary, such Grantor shall promptly (and without the necessity for any request or demand by the Administrative Agent) deliver the certificates representing such shares or interests to the Administrative Agent, in escrow, in the same manner and with the same effect as described in Article I hereof. Upon delivery, such shares or evidences of ownership shall thereupon constitute Escrowed Shares for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(f) No Grantor will make any Disposition of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (whether certificated or uncertificated) or any part thereof, or create directly or indirectly any security interest or otherwise encumber (other than any restriction imposed by any Franchise Agreement or Framework Agreement to which the Grantor is a party) any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests, or permit any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests to ever be or become subject to any warrant, put, option or other rights of third Persons or any attachment, execution, sequestration or other legal or equitable process, or any security interest or encumbrance of any kind, in each case, unless and until any Disposition Proceeds Collateral are paid and/or delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, or are received and retained by such Grantor in accordance with Section 4.04(a), and any Restricted Disposition Proceeds are delivered in escrow to the Administrative Agent to be held as Escrowed Shares.

(g) Each Grantor shall enforce or secure in the name of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the performance of each and every material obligation, term, covenant, condition and agreement and any other obligations, terms, covenants, conditions and agreements reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent relating to any certificated Disposition Proceeds Collateral in such Grantor’s organizational documents or stockholders, voting or similar agreements, or any purchase agreement related thereto, and such Grantor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding arising under, occurring out of or in any manner connected therewith and upon request by the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will do so in the name of the Administrative Agent and on behalf of the Secured Parties, but at the expense of the Grantors, and the Grantors shall (jointly and severally) pay all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses, in any action or proceeding in which the Secured Parties may appear.

(h) The Grantors (jointly and severally) shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and/or the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in connection with the enforcement of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder, in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(i) At no time shall any Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests (i) be held or maintained in the form of a security entitlement or credited to any securities

9

account or (ii) which constitute a “security” (or as to which the related Escrow Subsidiary has elected to have treated as a “security”) under Article 8 of the UCC (or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may govern) be maintained in the form of uncertificated securities. With respect to Escrowed Shares that are “securities” under the UCC, or as to which the issuer has elected at any time to have such interests treated as “securities” under the UCC, such Escrowed Shares are, and shall at all times be, represented by the share certificates listed on Schedule I hereto.

(j) Each Grantor and each issuer of any Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests shall mark each register or other ownership or transfer record relating to any of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests with a notation indicating that such securities are subject to this Agreement.

4.02 Preservation of Escrowed Shares. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to all or any part of the Escrowed Shares or other Restricted Equity Interests or any Disposition Proceeds Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation beyond the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof while in its possession, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible generally for the preservation of all rights in the Escrowed Shares, the other Restricted Equity Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

4.03 Collection of the Loan. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall ever be liable for any failure to use due diligence in the collection of any and all amounts due and owing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

4.04 Rights of Parties Before the Occurrence of an Event of Default. (a) Exercising Rights and Receipt of Cash Proceeds Prior to an Event of Default. Unless and until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

(i) With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Grantors shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends or interest paid in respect of or attributable to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral and any and all other Distributions. As used herein “Distributions” shall mean the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution on or with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and any other payment made with respect to such Disposition Proceeds Collateral other than in respect of a Disposition thereof. All such Distributions (other than cash Distributions) shall if received by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be delivered to the Administrative Agent duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to be held subject to the Security Interest and the other provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) With respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral, each Grantor shall have the right to vote and give consents with respect to all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral owned by it and to consent to, ratify, or waive notice of any and all meetings and take such other action as it deems appropriate to protect or further its

10

interests in respect thereof; provided, that such right shall in no case be exercised for any purpose contrary to, or in violation of, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Exercising Rights in Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, without the consent of any Grantor, may:

(i) At any time vote or consent in respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) and authorize any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be voted and such consents to be given, ratify and waive notice of any and all meetings, and take such other action as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to protect or further the interests of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral as though it were the outright owner thereof, and, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, its sole proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to vote and act with respect to any and all such Disposition Proceeds Collateral standing in the name of such Grantor or with respect to which such Grantor is entitled to vote and act. The proxy and power of attorney herein granted are coupled with interests, are irrevocable, and shall continue throughout the term of this Agreement;

(ii) In respect of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral), join in and become a party to any plan of recapitalization, reorganization or readjustment (whether voluntary or involuntary) as shall seem desirable to the Administrative Agent in respect of any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, and deposit any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral under any such plan; make any exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral required by any such plan and take such action with respect to any such Disposition Proceeds Collateral as may be required by any such plan or for the accomplishment thereof; and no such disposition, exchange, substitution, cancellation or surrender shall be deemed to constitute a release of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral from the Security Interest of this Agreement;

(iii) Receive for application as provided in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement all payments of whatever kind made upon or with respect to any Disposition Proceeds Collateral and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral consisting of cash; and

(iv) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(c) hereof, transfer or endorse into its name, or into the name or names of its nominee or nominees, all or any of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral.

(c) Right of Sale of Disposition Proceeds Collateral After the Occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell, without recourse to judicial proceedings, by way of one or more contracts, with the right (except at private sale) to bid for and buy, free from any right of

11

redemption, any Disposition Proceeds Collateral (other than cash Disposition Proceeds Collateral) upon five (5) days’ notice (which notice is agreed to be reasonable notice for the purposes hereof) to the Grantors of the time and place of sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in the Administrative Agent’s complete discretion at public sale, including a sale at any broker’s board or exchange or private sale.

The Administrative Agent is also hereby authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as the Administrative Agent may deem required or appropriate in the event of sale or disposition of such Disposition Proceeds Collateral. Each Grantor understands that the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if the same were registered and sold in the open market. Each Grantor agrees (A) that in the event the Administrative Agent shall so sell such Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of a national securities exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such a private sale thereof (any expense borne by the Administrative Agent in obtaining such advice to be paid by the Grantors as an expense related to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder), and (B) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Administrative Agent handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to take any steps to permit such Disposition Proceeds Collateral to be sold at a public sale or to delay a sale to permit the Escrow Subsidiaries to register such Disposition Proceeds Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933 or applicable state securities law. In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Disposition Proceeds Collateral sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but the Administrative Agent shall incur no liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Disposition Proceeds Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. In connection with the sale of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, the Administrative Agent is authorized, but not obligated, to limit prospective purchasers to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the Administrative Agent to render such sale exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws, and no sale so made in good faith by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to be “commercially reasonable” because so made. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party have any right to sell, foreclose upon, or compel the sale of, any Escrowed Shares.

(d) Other Rights After an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its election, may with respect to all Disposition Proceeds Collateral exercise any and all rights available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York or other applicable jurisdiction, as amended, in addition to any and all other rights afforded hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, at law, in equity or otherwise.

(e) Application of Proceeds. Any and all Disposition Proceeds Collateral including cash proceeds and the proceeds from the disposition as hereinabove provided of

12

Disposition Proceeds Collateral received by Lenders or any part thereof shall be applied as provided in Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement.

4.05 Right to File as Financing Statement. The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to execute and file this Agreement as a financing statement, but the failure of the Administrative Agent to do so shall not impair the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the Security Interest.

4.06 Restricted Disposition Shares; No Control by Administrative Agent or Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, a security interest in any Restricted Disposition Proceeds or the Escrowed Shares, but the Administrative Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a security interest in Disposition Proceeds Collateral (the “Subsequent Proceeds”) of Restricted Disposition Proceeds so long as such Subsequent Proceeds are not themselves Restricted Disposition Proceeds. Any Restricted Disposition Proceeds delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held in escrow by the Administrative Agent and will be deemed to be Escrowed Shares for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not, constitute, create or have the effect of constituting or creating, directly or indirectly, the actual or practical ownership of any of the Escrow Subsidiaries by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, or control, affirmative or negative, direct or indirect, by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party over the management or any other aspect of the day-to-day operation of the Escrow Subsidiaries, which ownership and control remains exclusively and at all times in each of the Escrow Subsidiaries.

4.07 Agreement to Supplement. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall be amended and supplemented from time to time to specifically include a description of all Escrowed Shares subject hereto subsequent to the date hereof, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to supplement Schedule I from time to time, without any action or joinder of the Grantors to reflect the addition of all such additional Escrowed Shares. The Administrative Agent shall have a valid first priority security interest in all additional Disposition Proceeds which come into existence after the date hereof, whether or not reflected on a supplement to Schedule I. Each Grantor hereby agrees to execute, deliver and cause the filing of all stock powers, financing statements and other documents and to take such further action as deemed necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion with respect to each such additional Escrowed Shares and Disposition Proceeds to ensure each Grantor’s compliance hereunder with respect thereto. To the extent that any Equity Interest in a Subsidiary constitutes General Intangibles, such Equity Interests shall not be listed as Escrowed Shares in any supplement to Schedule 1, and shall not constitute Restricted Equity Interests hereunder.

4.08 Reinstatement. The granting of a security interest in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or is repaid by any Secured Party in whole or in part

13

in good faith settlement of a pending or threatened avoidance claim, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. The provisions of this Section 4.08 shall survive repayment of all of the Secured Obligations and the termination or expiration of this Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination upon occurrence of the Facility Termination Date. The “Facility Termination Date” means the date as of which all of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, (b) all Obligations have been paid in full (other than (x) contingent indemnification obligations and (y) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreement and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be, have been made), and (c) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuers shall have been made).

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

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

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

14

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

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

4.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, together with the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, inducements, commitments or conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein contained. The express terms hereof and of the Joinder Agreements control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.

4.14 Reliance. Each Grantor hereby consents and agrees that all Persons shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof and of the Joinder Agreements as conclusive evidence of the right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, to exercise its rights, privileges, and remedies hereunder and thereunder with respect to the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by any Grantor or any other Person to any Persons.

4.15 Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement, any Joinder Agreement or

15

any interest herein or therein or in the Disposition Proceeds Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein, or otherwise pledge, encumber or grant any option with respect to the Disposition Proceeds, or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Administrative Agent as the Disposition Proceeds under this Agreement except as expressly permitted herein or in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence of this Section 4.15, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article IX thereof (concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 10.06 thereof (concerning assignments and participations). All references herein to the Administrative Agent and to the Secured Parties shall include any successor thereof or permitted assignee, and any other obligees from time to time of the Secured Obligations.

4.16 Secured Cash Management and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Disposition Proceeds Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Disposition Proceeds Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangement have been made with respect to, the Secured Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements to the extent the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement

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

4.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed by the Grantor against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.18, the provisions of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

16

4.19 Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.08, this Agreement and each Joinder Agreement, and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder (excluding those obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party on the Facility Termination Date. Upon such termination of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole expense of the Grantors, promptly deliver to the Grantors the Escrowed Shares, all other certificated Restricted Equity Interests and the Disposition Proceeds Collateral and take such actions at the request of the Grantors as may be necessary to effect the same.

4.20 Notices.

All such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be given and shall be effective, as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement for the giving and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder.

4.21 Joinder. Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and who is identified therein as a “Grantor” (as such term is defined in this Agreement) under this Agreement shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and obligated hereunder to the extent required pursuant to such Joinder Agreement as a Grantor and shall have thereupon pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof granted a security interest in and collaterally assigned and pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all Disposition Proceeds which it has at its applicable date of execution of its respective Joinder Agreement or thereafter acquires any interest or the power to transfer, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the Grantors or to the parties to this Agreement shall be deemed to include such Person as a Grantor hereunder. Each Joinder Agreement shall be accompanied by the Supplemental Schedules referred to therein, appropriately completed with information relating to the Grantor executing such Joinder Agreement and its property. Each of the applicable Schedules attached hereto shall be deemed amended and supplemented without further action by such information reflected on the Supplemental Schedules to each Joinder Agreement.

EX-10.6

EXHIBIT 10.6

SEVERANCE PAY AGREEMENT

FOR KEY EMPLOYEE

This Agreement is entered into as of July 27, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) between Asbury Automotive Group, Inc. (“Asbury”) and Scott Krenz (“Executive”), a key employee of Asbury, in order to provide for an agreed-upon compensation in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated following a Change in Control as defined in this agreement.

1. Severance Pay Arrangement

If a “Termination” of Executive’s employment occurs (i) at any time between the Effective Date and the third anniversary of the Effective Date; and (ii) after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, following a “Change of Control” (as “Termination” and “Change of Control” are defined in Section 2 below), Asbury will pay Executive 12 months of Executive’s base salary as of the date of Termination as Severance Pay (as such term is defined in this agreement). The Severance Pay will be subject to required withholding and will be made by Asbury to Executive monthly over the course of 12 months on the regular payroll dates beginning on the first regular payroll date after Executive executes the release referenced in Section B below.

If Executive participates in a bonus compensation plan at the date of Termination, the Company shall pay Executive a pro rata bonus for the year of the Termination equal to the amount of the bonus that Executive would have received if Executive’s employment had not been terminated during such year, multiplied by the percentage of such year that has expired through the date of Termination. Such bonus shall be paid at such time as bonuses are paid under the bonus compensation plan to the Company’s other employees whose employment was not terminated in such year.

In addition, for 12 months following the date of Termination, Executive shall be entitled to continue to participate at the same level of coverage and Executive contribution in any health and dental insurance plans, as may be amended from time to time, in which Executive was participating immediately prior to the date of Termination. Such participation will terminate 30 days after Executive has obtained other employment under which Executive is covered by equal benefits. The Executive agrees to notify Asbury promptly upon obtaining such other employment. At the end of 12 months, Executive, at his option, may elect to obtain COBRA coverage in accordance with the terms and conditions of applicable law and the Company’s standard policy.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive is determined to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended the (“Code”) and if one or more of the payments or benefits to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then no such payment shall be made or benefit provided until six (6) months following Executive’s date of Termination.

2. Definitions of Change of Control and Termination Triggering Severance Pay

Severance Pay will be paid to Executive by the Company if a “Termination” occurs at any time in the two years following a “Change of Control” of the Company.

A “Termination” triggering the Severance Pay set forth above in Section 1 is defined as a termination of Executive’s employment with the Company (1) by the Company without “cause”, or (2) by Executive because of (x) a material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform Executive’s services (which shall in no event include a relocation of Executive’s current principal place of business to a location less than 50 miles away), (y) a material diminution in Executive’s base compensation, or (z) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities. For avoidance of doubt, a “Termination” shall not include a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for “cause” or due to Executive’s, death, disability, retirement or voluntary resignation.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the definition of “cause” is: (a) Executive’s gross negligence or serious misconduct (including, without limitation, any criminal, fraudulent or dishonest conduct) that is or may be injurious to the Company; or (b) Executive’s being convicted of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, any crime that constitutes a felony or involves moral turpitude; or (c) Executive’s breach of Sections 3, 4 or 5 below; or (d) Executive’s willful and continued failure to perform Executive’s duties on behalf of the Company; or (e) Executive’s material breach of a written policy of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the definition of “disability” is a physical or mental disability or infirmity that prevents the performance by Executive of his duties lasting (or likely to last, based on competent medical evidence presented to the Company) for a continuous period of six months or longer.

“Change of Control” means:

(1) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of voting securities of the Company where such acquisition causes such person to own thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); or

2

(2) individuals who as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors; or

(3) approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by reason of any actions or events in which Executive participates in any capacity other than in his capacity as an employee of the Company.

3. Confidential Information and Nondisclosure Provision

As a condition to the receipt of the Severance Pay payments and benefits described in Section 1 above, during and after employment with the Company, Executive shall agree not to disclose to any person (other than to an employee or director of the Company, or to the Company’s attorneys, accountants and other advisors or except as may be required by law) and not use to compete with the Company any confidential or proprietary information, knowledge or data that is not in the public domain that was obtained by Executive while employed by the Company regarding the Company or any products, improvements, customers, methods of distribution, sales, prices, profits, costs, contracts, suppliers, business prospects, business methods, techniques, research, trade secrets or know-how of the Company (collectively, “Confidential Information”). In the event that Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, Executive will deliver to the Company on or before the date of Termination all documents and data of any nature pertaining to Executive’s work with the Company and will not take any documents or data or any reproduction, or any documents containing or pertaining to any Confidential Information. Executive agrees that in the event of a breach by Executive of this provision, the Company shall be entitled to inform all potential or new employers of such breach and to cease payments and benefits that would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 1 above, as well as to obtain injunctive relief and damages, including reasonable attorneys fees, and which may include recovery of amounts paid to Executive under this Agreement.

3

4. Non-Solicitation/Non-Hire of Employees

Executive agrees that during his employment at the Company and for a 12-month period after the date of Termination, he will not, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit or hire any employee of the Company (or any person who was an employee of the Company during the 12 month period preceding Executive’s date of Termination) or encourage any such employee to terminate employment with the Company.

5. Covenant Not to Compete

Executive agrees that during his employment at the Company and for a 12-month period after the date of Termination, he will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion):

(a) provide services of a leadership, management, executive, operational, or advisory capacity and/or participate in the ownership of or provide financial backing to an automotive dealership that is located within a fifty-mile radius of any address set forth on Exhibit A (the “Area”);

(b) provide senior/corporate level leadership, executive, operational, or advisory services to any corporate competitor of the Company who owns or operates one or more automotive dealerships within the Area; and

(c) provide services of a leadership, management, executive, operational, or advisory capacity for anyone or any business whose focus is buying, conglomerating, or otherwise acquiring one or more automotive dealerships that are located within the Area.

For purposes of this Section 5, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company conducts business in the Area and that the Area is a reasonable geographic limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees that the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed breached as a result of the passive ownership by Executive of: (i) less than an aggregate of 5% of any class of stock of a business that competes with the Company; or (ii) less than an aggregate of 10% in value of any instrument of indebtedness of a business that competes with the Company. The Company further agrees that nothing in this Section 5 prohibits Executive from accepting employment from, and performing services for, businesses engaged in the finance industry, and businesses engaged in the manufacturing and/or sale of automobile parts or the provision of automotive service, provided such businesses do not also engage in the retail of automobiles within the Area. By way of example, nothing in this Section 5 would prohibit Executive from working with such businesses as American General Finance, NAPA Auto Parts, or Goodyear.

4

Upon Executive’s Termination of employment with the Company, Executive agrees to re-confirm his commitment to the post-employment restrictive covenants in this Agreement. Executive further agrees that as part of that re-confirmation, the term “Area” and Exhibit A hereto may be amended by the Company, but only to the extent necessary to list the addresses of the Company’s headquarters and any automotive dealerships that the Company owns and/or operates as of the Termination Date.

6. Construction/Enforcement of Post-Employment Covenants.

Executive agrees that the provisions of Sections 3, 4, and 5 are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the business and the goodwill of the Company. However, if a judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Executive, such provision(s) shall be modified or severed so as to permit enforcement of the provision(s) to the extent reasonable.

7. Violation of Post-Employment Covenants.

If Executive breaches any provision in Sections 3, 4, and 5, Executive understands and agrees that the Company may stop paying any additional severance pursuant to Section 1 until such time as any dispute over Executive’s alleged breaches of Sections 3, 4 and 5 have been resolved, either judicially or otherwise. Executive agrees that in the event of an alleged breach by Executive of any of provision in Sections 3, 4 or 5, the Company shall be entitled to cease payments and benefits that would otherwise be made pursuant to Section 1 above, as well as to obtain injunctive relief and damages which may include recovery of amounts paid to Executive under this Agreement and attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Company in enforcing any covenants. To the extent that Executive is determined through agreement or resolution of any pending claim to not have violated any covenant at issue, he shall receive any and all severance that has not been paid under the Agreement and/or which was recovered from Executive under this Section 7.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. Employment is At Will

Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that Executive is an “at will” employee, which means that either Executive or the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without cause or notice, and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied contract of employment.

B. Execution of Release

As a condition to the receipt of the Severance Pay payments and benefits described in Section 1 above, Executive agrees to execute a release of all claims arising

5

out of Executive’s employment or Termination, including, but not limited to, any claim of discrimination, harassment or wrongful discharge under local, state or federal law.

C. Alternative Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration before an arbitrator (who shall be an attorney with at least ten years’ experience in employment law) in the city where Executive is located and in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Each party may choose to retain legal counsel and shall pay its own attorneys’ fees, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration. Executive may be required to pay a filing fee limited to the equivalent cost of filing in the court of jurisdiction. The Company will pay the fees and costs of conducting the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of jurisdiction.

D. Other Provisions

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Executive and the Company, including any successor to the Company.

(b) The provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The headings and captions are provided for reference and convenience only and shall not be considered part of this Agreement.

(d) Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered under this Agreement shall be (i) in writing, (ii) delivered personally, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified or registered mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested, (iii) deemed to have been received on the date of delivery or on the third business day after mailing, and (iv) addressed as follows (or to such other address as the party entitled to notice shall later designate in accordance with these terms):

If to Executive: To the most recent address of Executive set forth in the personnel records of the Company.

6

(e) This Agreement supersedes any and all agreements between the Company and Executive relating to payments upon Termination of employment or Severance Pay and may only be modified in a writing signed by the Company and Executive.

(f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

(g) All payments hereunder shall be subject to any required withholding of federal, state, local and foreign taxes pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(h) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect any other provisions, and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included. No provision of this Agreement shall be waived unless the waiver is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and the Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company.
