(c) For purposes of this Section 1.08, “Pro Forma Basis” shall mean on a basis in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent applicable, reasonable assumptions that are specified in detail in the relevant Officer’s Certificate or other document provided to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities Act.

Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

Account; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.23(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the fees contemplated in the Agent Fee letter.

(d) The Administrative Agent agrees to pay to each Revolving Lender, for its own account, for each period set forth below, a fee (the “Floorplan Collateral Block Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 1.30% per annum multiplied by (ii) the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the average daily amount of the Revolving Commitment (or, if the Revolving Commitments have terminated, the aggregate Revolving Exposure) of such Revolving Lender during such period and the denominator of which is average daily amount of aggregate Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have terminated, the aggregate Revolving Exposure) of all Revolving Lenders during such period multiplied by (B) the average daily amount of the Floorplan Collateral Block (but excluding that portion attributable to unreimbursed Floorplan Loan Payments) for such period. After receipt of the corresponding fee from the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Floorplan Collateral Block Fee to each Revolving Lender in arrears on (i) the first Business Day of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month (or portion thereof), commencing on the first such date to occur following the Closing Date and continuing until the date upon which the Floorplan Collateral Block (other than unreimbursed Floorplan Loan Payments) is permanently reduced to $0 upon or following the Termination Date, and (ii) on the date the Floorplan Collateral Block (other than unreimbursed Floorplan Loan Payments) is permanently reduced to $0 upon or following the Termination Date.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

(c) Each Protective Advance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time plus 2%.

(d) Interest, including interest payable pursuant to Section 2.07, shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest for ABR Loans, which shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 day, as applicable) and shall be calculated from and including the date of the Borrowing to, but excluding, the date of repayment thereof. Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments, except that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be payable on demand of the Required Lenders, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b) or (c) shall have occurred and shall be continuing, by acceleration or otherwise, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders until the related defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such overdue amount shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal of a Loan, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that deposits in the principal amounts and denominations of the Loans comprising any Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such deposits are being offered in the London interbank market will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during the applicable Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent agrees to give promptly after such circumstances no longer exist), each affected Eurodollar Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into an ABR Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans denominated in dollars or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or a back up standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or a standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the Floorplan Loan Exposure as of such date, (iv) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (v) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations (including Floorplan Loan Payments) together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b) The Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if (A) after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.04(b), the sum of the Revolving Exposures (excluding Floorplan Loan Exposure) plus the Floorplan Collateral Block would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base or (B) after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments is less than $250,000,000.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments

delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time (subject to Section 2.02(b)) upon prior written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 12:30 p.m., one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing and (ii) not later than 12:30 p.m., three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(a) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(b) if less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(b) and 2.02(c) regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

(c) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent recording, for the account of such Lender, the Type of such Loan resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion; and

(d) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable (subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15) and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which shall at all times be ABR Borrowings.

SECTION 2.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:30 p.m. one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to

be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

(a) In the event and on such occasion that the sum of the total Revolving Exposure (excluding Floorplan Loan Exposure) plus the Floorplan Collateral Block exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate Revolving Commitments or (ii) the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(b) In the event that any Borrower or any Loan Party shall receive any Net Cash Proceeds with respect to a Disposition or Property Loss Event at any time that cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, then the Borrower (or such other Loan Party) shall immediately deposit such Net Cash Proceeds in a Collateral Deposit Account for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.04(b).

(c) All prepayments required by this Section 2.13 shall be applied first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding and second to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans, including Swingline Loans (without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment) and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure and Floorplan Loan Exposure.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, Floorplan Loan Payment Obligation 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 or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Floorplan Loan Payment Obligations or increase the cost to any Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made, Floorplan Loan Payment Obligations paid or participations in Loans purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower, shall describe the applicable Change in Law, the resulting costs incurred or reduction suffered (including a calculation thereof), certifying that such Lender is generally charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request; provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender and the respective Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any Change in Law in respect of which a payment was made is thereafter determined to be invalid or inapplicable to the relevant Lender or Issuing Bank, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Change in Law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary, this Section 2.14 shall not apply to any Change in Law with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.20.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender shall be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower. Such Lender shall withdraw such notice promptly following any date on which it becomes lawful for such Lender to make and maintain Eurodollar Loans or give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan.

SECTION 2.16. Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder other than by operation of Section 2.08 (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period (exclusive of any loss of anticipated profits). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 2.17 and as required under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.20, each Revolving Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee under Section 2.05(a) and the participation fee under Section 2.05(b), each reduction of the Revolving Commitments and each conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as a Revolving Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Commitments (or, if such Revolving Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their respective applicable outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders which shall not have made Swingline Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments. In addition, in computing such Lender’s portion of any Revolving Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Revolving Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment or other distribution (whether from proceeds of collateral or any other source, whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise, and whether made by any Loan Party or in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.13) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.04(b)) or (ii) made or applied in respect of any of the Obligations during the existence of an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b) or (c) or during the existence of any other Event of Default (if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so direct) or during or in connection with Insolvency Proceedings involving any Loan Party (or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization in connection therewith), shall be made or applied, as the case may be, in the following order of priority (with higher priority Obligations to be paid in full prior to any payment or other distribution in respect of lower priority Obligations): (i) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such (ratably among the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks in

proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause first payable to them) (other than in connection with amounts constituting Banking Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations); (ii) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders, including attorney fees (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause second payable to them) (other than in connection with amounts constituting Banking Services Obligations or Hedging Obligations); (iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Protective Advances, including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Protective Advances, (v) fifth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including any default interest) on the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fifth payable to them), including interest accruing after the filing or commencement of any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, whether or not any claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is or would be allowed, allowable or otherwise enforceable in any such Insolvency Proceedings; (vi) sixth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, unpaid LC Disbursements, LC Exposure and Floorplan Loan Exposure (including any termination payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause sixth held by them); (vii) seventh, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks, to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit and Floorplan Loan Payment Obligations then outstanding; (viii) eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Hedging Obligations, in each case to the extent constituting Secured Obligations; (ix) ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates; and (x) last, in the case of proceeds of collateral, the balance, if any, thereof, after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Each Lender agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.17 (including the priority of the Secured Obligations as set forth herein) constitute an intercreditor agreement among them for value received that is independent of any value received from the Loan Parties, and that such agreement shall be enforceable as against each Lender, including in any Insolvency Proceedings in respect of any Loan Party, to the same extent that such agreement is enforceable under applicable non-bankruptcy law (including pursuant to Section 510(a) of the U.S. federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of applicable insolvency law), and that, if any Lender receives any payment or distribution in respect of any Obligation (including in connection with any Insolvency Proceedings or any plan of liquidation, distribution or reorganization therein) to which such Lender is not entitled in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Section 2.17, such amount shall be held in trust by such Lender for the benefit of the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution hereunder, and promptly shall be turned over by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Person or Persons entitled to such payment or distribution in accordance with this Section 2.17.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, (A) all payments of principal, interest and LC Disbursements and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all payments of fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.05), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans), but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.05), and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.22 or 2.25, as applicable and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it become due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Document.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs . Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against either Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan, Floorplan Loan Payment or LC Disbursement as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans, Floorplan Loan Payments and participations in LC Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans, Floorplan Loan Payments and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure and participations in Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant. The Borrower expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan, Floorplan Loan Payment or LC Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments . The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. At all times that cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds applied pursuant to Section 2.04(b)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the Obligations, on the Business Day of receipt, if received prior to 3:00 p.m. on such Business Day, and otherwise on the Business Day after receipt, in each case subject to actual collection.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums

payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (but not Other Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if, after the payment of any amounts by the Borrower under this Section, any such Indemnified Taxes in respect of which a payment was made are thereafter determined to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed, then the relevant recipient of such payment shall, within 30 days after such determination, repay any amounts paid to it by the Borrower hereunder in respect of such Indemnified Taxes; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(c) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower of its intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each Foreign Lender shall (a) furnish to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date it becomes a party to the Agreement either (i) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN (or successor form), (ii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or (iii) two accurate and complete originally executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments, certifying, in any case, to such Foreign Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all payments hereunder and (b) provide to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any required attachments upon (i) the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to any payment hereunder, (ii) the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it and (iii) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that any Foreign Lender that is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption” shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form of Exhibit E together with a Form W-8BEN. If a payment made to a Foreign Lender would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower documentation, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary to demonstrate that such Lender has complied with applicable reporting requirements of FATCA so that payments made to such Lender hereunder would not be subject to U.S. federal

withholding taxes under FATCA, or, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA or successors thereto after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States Person, as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall (unless such Lender or Issuing Bank may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1)) deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the times specified in Section 2.20(e), two accurate and complete original signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States back-up withholding requirements.

(g) In the event that the Borrower is resident in or conducts business in Puerto Rico, each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a resident of Puerto Rico for Puerto Rican Tax purposes shall file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower and, when prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower, update or renew any such certificate or document, pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, if such filing (i) would eliminate or reduce the amount of withholding Taxes imposed by Puerto Rico with respect to any payment hereunder and (ii) would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, result in a legal, economic or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender.

(h) If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, 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 (i) the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and (ii) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Administrative Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14 or delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.20, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would eliminate the circumstances permitting the Lender to provide a notice described in Section 2.15 and (iii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14 or delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Floorplan Funding Agent), require such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, the Floorplan Funding Agent), which consent(s) shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, Floorplan Loan Payments and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power of attorney is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21.

(c) If (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be material) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower if such filing would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and Availability; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding Account (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.23(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.17(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 4:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(b) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than noon on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(d) and (e) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(d) and (e) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 3:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.02(e).

a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of the Borrower and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent prior to 12:30 p.m. at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $125,000,000 and (ii) the sum of (A) the total Revolving Exposures (excluding Floorplan Loan Exposures) plus (B) the Floorplan Collateral Block shall not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than noon on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than noon, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.22 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Sections 2.02(d) and 2.02(e) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(d) and 2.02(e) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower

pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing (including clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the previous sentence) shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.07 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(ii) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders (not to exceed three (3) such Lenders at any time) to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (i)(ii) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Administrative Agent) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 2.23.

(a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that both at the time of any such request and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below, no Event of Default shall exist. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 (or such lower amount that either

(A) represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (B) is acceptable to the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $200,000,000. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase. Revolving Commitment Increases may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the relevant Persons under Section 9.04(b) shall have consented (in each case, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s Revolving Commitment Increase, if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. The Arrangers agree, upon the request of the Borrower and pursuant to mutually satisfactory engagement and compensation arrangements, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Additional Lenders to make any such requested Revolving Commitment Increase; provided that the Arrangers’ agreement to use such efforts does not constitute a commitment to provide any such requested Revolving Commitment Increase.

(b) Commitments in respect of Revolving Commitment Increase shall become Revolving Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Commitment Increase, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, a “Revolving Commitment Increase Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Borrowing” or similar language in such Section 4.01 shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment). The Borrower may use the proceeds of Revolving Loans provided pursuant to any Revolving Commitment Increase for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Commitment Increase unless it so agrees in its sole discretion.

(c) The Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Revolving Loans or any such new Revolving Commitments.

(d) After giving effect to any Revolving Commitment Increase, it may be the case that the outstanding Revolving Loans are not held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Commitments. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase, the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders) shall make advances among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders), pro rata in accordance with the Pro Rata Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Revolving Commitment Increase).

(e) This Section 2.24 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.18 or 9.08 to the contrary.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable

to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.05) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base as then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered); provided, further that, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposure (including outstanding Protective Advances) shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.25(b).

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that the Floorplan Funding Agent issue Floorplan Approvals to finance the purchase by the Borrower and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors of Inventory from Floorplan Approved Vendors, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period; provided, however, that the Floorplan Funding Agent may assume that the Availability Period has not been terminated until it receives written notice of such termination from the Administrative Agent. A Floorplan Approval shall be issued only if (and upon issuance of each Floorplan Approval, the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that (it being understood and agreed that the Floorplan Funding Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty with respect to)), after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the sum of the aggregate Floorplan Open Approvals, plus the aggregate Floorplan Loan Exposure shall not exceed the Floorplan Subfacility Limit and (ii) the sum of the aggregate Floorplan Open Approvals plus the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments. From and after the date on which the Floorplan Funding Agent has actual knowledge of any Default, and so long as such Default is continuing, (i) no further Floorplan Approvals will be issued if the Floorplan Funding Agent so chooses in its sole discretion to no longer issue Floorplan Approvals or if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders direct in writing the Floorplan Funding Agent to no longer issue Floorplan Approvals and (ii) the Floorplan Funding Agent may elect in its discretion to cancel all Floorplan Open Approvals (other than Floorplan Open Approvals that are not cancellable). In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Floorplan Inventory Financing Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Issuance of Floorplan Approvals; Funding of Floorplan Loans. Upon the Floorplan Funding Agent’s receipt from a Floorplan Approved Vendor of an invoice with respect to Inventory financed under a Floorplan Approval (a “Floorplan Approved Invoice”), the Borrower shall be deemed (automatically and without any further action on the part of the Borrower) to have requested a Floorplan Loan from the Floorplan Funding Agent in an amount equal to the face amount of such Floorplan Approved Invoice, which Floorplan Loan shall be deemed to be fully funded as of the date of such Floorplan Approved Invoice. The unpaid principal balance of each Floorplan Loan shall be payable in full on the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60^th) day following the date of the Floorplan Approved Invoice funded with the proceeds of such Floorplan Loan or such other date that such Floorplan Approved Invoice is due pursuant to the terms of the floorplan program then made available to the Borrower by the applicable

Floorplan Approved Vendor and (ii) the Maturity Date (the earlier of such dates, a “Floorplan Due Date”). The proceeds of each Floorplan Loan will be retained by the Floorplan Funding Agent and the Floorplan Funding Agent will be directly responsible for paying the related Floorplan Approved Invoice (it being understood that the terms of such payment will be negotiated between the Floorplan Funding Agent and the applicable Floorplan Approved Vendor).

(c) Floorplan Loan Payment Obligations. On the date of a Floorplan Approved Invoice to be funded with the proceeds of a Floorplan Loan and without any further action on the part of the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Borrower or the Revolving Lenders, each Revolving Lender hereby acquires and shall have an unconditional and absolute obligation to repay to the Floorplan Funding Agent, without setoff or counterclaim, a portion of such Floorplan Loan on the Floorplan Due Date thereof in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Floorplan Loan (each such obligation, a “Floorplan Loan Payment Obligation” and each payment made by a Revolving Lender in respect thereof, a “Floorplan Loan Payment”), regardless of the occurrence and continuance of a Default or a reduction or termination of the Commitments or any other event or condition whatsoever, but only so long as (a) the Floorplan Funding Agent has reported the amount of such Floorplan Loan to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.26(g), (b) on the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent receives such report under clause (a) above, the Floorplan Collateral Block to be implemented by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Floorplan Loan (together with the Floorplan Collateral Block to be implemented by the Administrative Agent with respect to all other Floorplan Loans reported by the Floorplan Funding Agent to the Administrative Agent on such day) would not exceed Availability as reported by the Administrative Agent to the Floorplan Funding Agent on such Business Day in accordance with Section 2.26(g). On the date of a Floorplan Approved Invoice to be funded with the proceeds of a Floorplan Loan and without any further action on the part of the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Borrower or the Revolving Lenders, the Borrower hereby becomes and shall be obligated to reimburse the Revolving Lenders for all Floorplan Loan Payments without setoff or counterclaim, which obligation shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any defense (other than payment of reimbursement obligation in full) based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of such reimbursement obligation from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the occurrence of the Termination Date, each of which defenses the Borrower hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to implement on each Business Day, and to keep and maintain at all times, the Floorplan Collateral Block in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledge and agree that neither the Lenders’ Floorplan Payment Obligations nor any Floorplan Loan Payment shall give the Administrative Agent or any Lender any right or claim against any Floorplan Approved Vendors.

(d) Payments; Reimbursement. On the Floorplan Due Date of each Floorplan Loan, the Borrower shall reimburse the Revolving Lenders for the aggregate amount of all Floorplan Loan Payments payable by the Revolving Lenders on such date (each such amount, a “Floorplan Required Payment”) by paying such Floorplan Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, not later than noon on such date, which Floorplan Required Payment shall, absent receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice to the contrary at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Floorplan Due Date and subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, be financed with a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount (each of which the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested pursuant to Section 2.22(a)) and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such Floorplan Required Payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Swingline Loan. On the Floorplan Due Date of each Floorplan Loan, (i) in the event the Borrower shall have satisfied its obligations under the first sentence of this subsection (d), the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, shall pay to the Floorplan Funding Agent, without setoff or counterclaim, the aggregate Floorplan Loan Payments due in respect of such Floorplan Loan, and upon the funding thereof in immediately available funds to the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Revolving Lenders’ obligations to the Floorplan Funding Agent in respect of such Floorplan Loan shall be deemed fully and finally discharged, or (ii) in the event the Borrower shall have failed to satisfy its obligations under the first sentence of this subsection (d), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of its Floorplan Loan Payment then due, and each Revolving Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated to pay such amount, without setoff or counterclaim, by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. on such day to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated for such

purpose by notice to the Revolving Lenders, and the Administrative Agent will pay such amounts, without setoff or counterclaim, to the Floorplan Funding Agent, and upon the funding thereof in immediately available funds to the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Revolving Lenders’ obligations to the Floorplan Funding Agent in respect of such Floorplan Loan shall be deemed fully and finally discharged.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Floorplan Loan Payments as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Floorplan Approved Invoice or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, or (ii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Floorplan Funding Agent, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance of any Floorplan Approved Invoice or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any notice or other communication under or relating to any Floorplan Approved Invoice, any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Floorplan Funding Agent. The Revolving Lenders’ obligations to make Floorplan Loan Payments as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Floorplan Approved Invoice or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, or (ii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Revolving Lenders’ obligations hereunder.

(f) Interest on Floorplan Loan Payments. Unless the Borrower shall reimburse the Revolving Lenders in full for any Floorplan Loan Payments on the date such Floorplan Loan Payments are made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Floorplan Loan Payments are made to but excluding the date the Borrower reimburses such Floorplan Loan Payments, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that Section 2.07 shall apply.

(g) Reporting. Prior to 11:00 a.m. on each Business Day, the Floorplan Funding Agent shall electronically deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a report setting forth (i) the aggregate principal amount of Floorplan Loans funded by the Floorplan Funding Agent as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day and not previously reported to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower pursuant to this clause, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Floorplan Loans outstanding as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day, (iii) the aggregate amount of Floorplan Open Approvals as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of Floorplan Loans maturing on each of the next succeeding five (5) days and (v) its calculation of the Floorplan In-Transit Open Approvals Block as of such date. Prior to 4:00 p.m. on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall electronically deliver to the Floorplan Funding Agent (i) its calculation of Availability as of such date (and after giving effect to all Borrowings made, and Letters of Credit issued or amended, on such date) and (ii) the aggregate amount of any past-due Floorplan Required Payments as of such date.

(h) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Administrative Agent) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “Floorplan Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Floorplan Loan Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have

exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Floorplan Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be first applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Floorplan Funding Agent for Floorplan Loan Payments which it has not yet received and then to reimburse the Revolving Lenders for Floorplan Loan Payments for which the Revolving Lenders have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for Floorplan Loan Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or waived.

(i) Credits. All credits issued by Vendors with respect to Floorplan Approved Invoices (“Floorplan Vendor Credits”) shall be for the sole account of the Revolving Lenders and shall be paid by the Floorplan Funding Agent to such Person(s) as directed in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent to the Floorplan Funding Agent. On the Closing Date, and thereafter until the Floorplan Funding Agent is advised otherwise in writing by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default or when cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 6.01(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, all Floorplan Vendor Credits shall be paid by the Floorplan Funding Agent to the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor in whose name the Vendor Credit was issued promptly following receipt thereof by the Floorplan Funding Agent.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time (a) there are no outstanding Floorplan Approvals or Floorplan Loans, (b) all Floorplan Loan Payments and Floorplan Required Payments have been paid in full (c) the Floorplan Inventory Finance Agreement has been terminated, and (d) the Floorplan Funding Agent has ceased issuing any further Floorplan Approvals then, upon written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Floorplan Funding Agent, all obligations (including, without limitation, under Section 2.05(d)), voting and consent rights of, and information and documentation delivery obligations to, the Floorplan Funding Agent shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

SECTION 2.27. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(a);

(b) such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.08(b)) and the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure, Floorplan Loan Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, Floorplan Loan Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure, and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Floorplan Funding Agent, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and/or Floorplan Loan Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(j) and Section 2.26(h), respectively, for so long as such LC Exposure and/or Floorplan Loan Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure or Floorplan Loan Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and pursuant to Section 2.05(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Floorplan Loan Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and/or Floorplan Loan Exposure, as applicable, is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure or Floorplan Loan Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.05(a), 2.05(b) and/or 2.05(d), as applicable, shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and/or Floorplan Loan Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized, and no Floorplan Collateral Block Fees payable under Section 2.05(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall be payable by the Administrative Agent until such Defaulting Lender’s Floorplan Loan Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit and the Floorplan Funding Agent shall not be required to issue any Floorplan Approval (and the Floorplan Funding Agent may cancel any Floorplan Open Approvals), unless the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Floorplan Funding Agent, as the case may be, is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.27(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan, newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly issued Floorplan Approval shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

(e) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account (for the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that any amounts retained pursuant to this Section 2.27(e) shall for all other purposes be treated as having been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or Floorplan Funding Agent hereunder, (iii) third, if the Administrative Agent so determines or is reasonably requested by an Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Floorplan Funding Agent, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit or Floorplan Loan, (iv) fourth, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (v) fifth, if the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) so determines, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, an Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender

or the Floorplan Funding Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or the Floorplan Funding Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is (x) a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements or Floorplan Loan Payments which such Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

If each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Floorplan Funding Agent agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure and Floorplan Loan Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.28. Banking Services and Hedging Obligations. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Service for, or having hedging agreements with, any Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or hedging agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Hedging Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, following the end of each calendar month, information with respect to the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Hedging Obligations and the maximum exposure in respect of such Banking Services Obligations.

The Borrower represents and warrants (it being understood that, for purposes of the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents on the Closing Date, such representations and warranties shall be construed as though the Transactions have been consummated) to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Floorplan Funding Agent and each of the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary (a) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing (where relevant) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except where the failure to be duly organized or formed or to exist (other than in the case of the Borrower) or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to have such power and authority could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (where relevant) in, every jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder or member action of each Loan Party and (b) will not (i) violate (A) any provision (x) of any applicable

law, statute, rule or regulation, or (y) of the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other constitutive documents of any Loan Party, (B) any applicable order of any Governmental Authority, (C) any provision of the Specified Senior Indebtedness Documentation or the Specified Senior Subordinated Indebtedness Documentation or (D) any provision of any other material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under or give rise to any right to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under (x) the Specified Senior Indebtedness Documentation or the Specified Senior Subordinated Indebtedness Documentation or (y) any other such material indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Liens created or permitted hereunder or under the Security Documents); except with respect to clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii) (other than clauses (b)(i)(A)(y), (b)(i)(C) and (b)(ii)(x)), to the extent that such violation, conflict, breach, default, or creation or imposition of Lien could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.03. Enforceability. This Agreement and each other Loan Document (when delivered) have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto. This Agreement and each other Loan Document delivered on the Closing Date constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party which is a party thereto will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by general equity principles.

SECTION 3.04. Governmental Approvals. Except to the extent the failure to obtain or make the same could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is necessary or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Loan Parties, except for (a) filings and registrations necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent and (b) such as have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect.

(f) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(j) an ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or, (ii) a Pension Event occurs with respect to any Foreign Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(k) any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery, shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms or in accordance with the terms of the other Loan Documents), or any Loan Party contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any material provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has any or further liability thereunder (other than as a result of the discharge of such Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);

(l) other than with respect to de minimis items of Collateral not exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate, any Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted in writing by any Loan Party not to be, a valid, perfected first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) having the priority contemplated thereby (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) on the securities, assets or properties purported to be covered thereby, except to the extent that any lack of validity, perfection or priority results from any act or omission of any Administrative Agent, or any Lender (so long as such act or omission does not result from the breach or non-compliance by a Loan Party with the Loan Documents);

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower

accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 7.02. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.01, in the event that the Borrower fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 7.02, would fail) to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11, until the expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11 is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(c), the Borrower shall have the right to receive cash contributions to its capital from Holdings (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Specified Equity Contribution”) such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring such financial and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; provided that, (i) in each four-fiscal-quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and (ii) for purposes of this Section 7.02, the Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with such financial covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 7.02, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenant, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such financial covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents (collectively, the “Agents”) and authorizes each Agent, in its respective capacity, to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases and intercreditor agreements) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

The banks serving as Agents hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in their capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not an Agent, and such banks and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if they were not an Agent hereunder.

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), (c) each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and

expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action and (d) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the applicable Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent may also 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. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.02, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as an Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, each Agent may resign at any time by notifying in writing the Lenders, each Issuing Bank (if applicable), the Floorplan Funding Agent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation of such Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under paragraphs (g)(i) or (h) of Article VII), to appoint a successor (other than a Disqualified Institution) which shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States or any State or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of resignation of the relevant Agent specified by such Agent in its notice, the resigning Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders with the consent of and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the successor agent by the date which is 60 days following such Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s

resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except in the case of the Administrative Agent holding collateral security on behalf of any Secured Parties, the resigning Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor (and, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the obligations under Section 5.09 are satisfied), the successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.

None of Lenders or other Persons identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “bookrunner,” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon an Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender 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 or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 Obligations and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and each Agent or (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and each Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due such Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.05 and 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 2.05 and 9.05.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any such Lender in any such proceeding.

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that no Agent undertakes any obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

As agreed to among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders from time to time in writing, notices and other communications may also be delivered or furnished by e-mail; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein or any other Loan Document, shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by each Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or such Issuing Bank or on their behalf, and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or actual knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Event shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. EACH LENDER AND EACH OTHER PERSON PARTY HERETO FROM TIME TO TIME (OTHER THAN THE LOAN PARTIES) HEREBY (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND COPIES OF THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS, (B) CONSENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS, (C) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS AND (D) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS ON THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. EACH LENDER BY MAKING OR PURCHASING AN INTEREST IN ANY LOAN AT ANY TIME SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THE TERM LOAN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE INVENTORY FINANCING INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees (in each case, other than to Disqualified Institutions) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent shall be required to any such assignment made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender (in each case, other than to Disqualified Institutions) (each, an “Eligible Assignee”) and the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under clause (b), (c), (g)(i) or (h) of Article VII, (ii) (A) in the case of any assignment, other than assignments to any Eligible Assignee, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender (or, in the case of an assignment of Loans after the Commitment has expired or been terminated, the aggregate principal amount of the loans of the assigning Lenders) subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or Loans)) and shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment (or Loans)) provided, however, that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, and (B) in the case of any assignment to any Eligible Assignee, after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate Revolving Commitments (or Loans), of the assigning Lender and its Affiliates and Related Funds shall be zero or not less than $1,000,000, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance (such Assignment and Acceptance to be (A) electronically executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent via an electronic settlement system then acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and (B) delivered together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds) and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and the tax forms required under Section 2.20(e), (f) or (g), as applicable. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment or transfer that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as

follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Revolving Commitment, and the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and any changes thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans (and related interest amount and fees with respect to such Loan) owing and paid to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrower, 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Banks to such assignment (in each case to the extent required pursuant to paragraph (b) above) and any applicable tax forms required by Section 2.20(e), (f) or (g), as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e) and (iii) if requested by an assignee, provide to such assignee the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance in connection therewith.

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to Disqualified Institutions) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it and its participations in the LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans); 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, (iii) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant and in the case of Section 2.20, only if such participant shall have provided any form of information that it would have been required to provide under such

Section if it were a Lender), (iv) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, so long as such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or LC Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 9.08(b) as it pertains to the Loans or Commitments in which such participant has an interest). Each Lender selling a participation to a participant (i) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), of each such participation, specifying such participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation, (ii) shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the applicable forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.20(e) or (f) hereof, as applicable, as if such participant was a Lender hereunder and (iii) if requested by a participant, provide to such participant the most recent list of Disqualified Institutions identified in writing to the Administrative Agent as of such date; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, each Lender shall have the right to sell one or more participations to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender in the form of sales and repurchases of participations without having to satisfy the requirements set forth therein; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a participation is sold to a Person that fails to satisfy the requirements of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, such Person shall not be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Section 2.20.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any non-public information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such non-public information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

(h) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that (i) such assignment shall not increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and (ii) no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower hereunder, (y) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (z) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes remain the Lender of record hereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its

funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder (other than in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments hereunder with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 9.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9.08(d)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to those of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in each material jurisdiction) incurred by the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (but limited, as to legal fees and expenses, to one counsel for all such Persons taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel to all such Persons taken as a whole in each material jurisdiction) incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights or remedies in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Majority Agents or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents with respect to each field examination; provided, however, that absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, no more than one (1) field examination per year shall be conducted at the expense of the Borrower; provided, however, if on any date during any year the sum of (A) aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans plus (B) the aggregate amount of LC Exposure plus (C) the aggregate outstanding amount of unreimbursed Floorplan Loan Payments exceeds 65% of the aggregate Commitments in effect at such time for more than five (5) consecutive Business Days, one (1) additional field examination may be conducted at the expense of the Loan Parties during the twelve (12)-month period immediately succeeding such date (it being understood, however, that, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no more than two (2) such field examinations per calendar year shall be conducted at the expense of the Loan Parties);

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Arranger, each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Floorplan Funding Agent and each of the foregoing Persons’ Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such Person and such Person’s Affiliates and their successors and assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and one local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in each material jurisdiction; provided that if (i) one or more Indemnitees shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to one or more other Indemnitees or (ii) the representation of the Indemnitees (or any portion thereof) by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then such expenses shall include the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket disbursements and other charges of one separate counsel to such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, in each relevant jurisdiction), and liabilities of such Indemnitee arising out of or in connection with (w) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facility), (x) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit,, (y) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (z) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or any of the subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to Holdings, the Borrower or the subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such costs, expenses or liabilities (x) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee’s Affiliates) (each, a “related party” of such Indemnitee) or material breach of its (or any of its related parties’) obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or (y) relate to the presence or Release of Hazardous Materials that first occur at any property owned by Holdings or the Borrower after such property is transferred to any Indemnitee, any of its related parties or any of their respective successors or assigns by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer. The Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse any Indemnitee for fees and expenses unless such Indemnitee provides the Borrower with an undertaking in which such Indemnitee agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to the extent any of the foregoing items in clauses (x) and (y) occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.20.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnitee related thereto under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Arrangers, such Indemnitee and the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender or such Indemnitee in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of outstanding the aggregate Revolving Exposure and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim from (i) the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence of such party of any of its Affiliates or the respective directors, officers, employees and agents of such party and such party’s Affiliates and (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Banks. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within 30 days after receipt of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its subsidiaries) to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or indebtedness. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent 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 such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then (i) 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 (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any 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 Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, the Floorplan Funding Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent, the Floorplan Funding Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No

waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Subject to Section 2.24 and clause (d) below, and except for those actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, the Floorplan Funding Agent or the Majority Agents, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Required Lenders and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and are affected by such waiver, amendment or modification and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(i) reduce the principal amount of, or extend or waive any scheduled amortization payment or the final scheduled maturity date of or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or any date for reimbursement of an LC Disbursement, forgive any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the component definitions of Excess Cash Availability affecting the determination of interest and the waiver of a Default, Event of Default or default interest shall only require the consent of the Borrower and the Required Lenders);

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.25) or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender);

(iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.17(b), the provisions of Section 9.04(j) (it being understood that any change to Section 6.04 shall only require approval of the Required Lenders) or the provisions of this Section (except as set forth below) or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as permitted under Section 6.04 and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(iv) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or the term “Supermajority Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and extensions of credit thereunder on the date hereof and this Section 9.08 may be amended to reflect such extension of credit);

(v) without the prior written consent of the Floorplan Funding Agent, (A) amend or modify any provision of Section 2.26, (B) amend or modify the definition of “Availability” to the extent applicable to Section 2.26 or (C) amend or modify any of the following defined terms: “Floorplan Approval”, “Floorplan Approved Invoice”, “Floorplan Approved Vendor”, “Floorplan Collateral Account”, “Floorplan Collateral Block”, “Floorplan Collateral Block Fee”, “Floorplan Due Date”, “Floorplan Facility”, “Floorplan Funding Agent”, “Floorplan In-Transit Open Approvals Block”, “Floorplan Loan”, “Floorplan Loan Exposure”, “Floorplan Loan Payment”, “Floorplan Loan Payment Obligations”, “Floorplan Open Approval”, “Floorplan Required Payment”, “Floorplan Subfacility Limit”, or “Floorplan Vendor Credits’);

(vi) change Section 2.27 without the consent of each Lender and the Floorplan Funding Agent (to the extent the Floorplan Funding Agent is affected by such change); or

(vii) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of the Borrowing Base or amend the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Borrowing Base or Reserves which has the effect of increasing Availability without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders and the Majority Agents; or

(viii) amend or modify the definition of “Majority Agents” or the rights and duties of the Majority Agents without the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Co-Collateral Agent;

; provided, further, that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, the Floorplan Funding Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Co-Collateral Agent, the Floorplan Funding Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (y) Section 9.04(i) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification.

(d) Each waiver, amendment, modification, supplement or consent made or given pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and such waiver, amendment, modification or supplement shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding on the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and Commitments.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender,” “each Lender affected thereby,” or “Supermajority Lenders,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.20, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power of attorney is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in respect of the circumstances contemplated by this Section 9.08(e).

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any LC Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such LC Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees, the Arrangers, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO IT THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby 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 or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower, Holdings or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in dollars, into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase dollars with such other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of dollars for delivery two Business Days thereafter. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase dollars with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ (other than Excluded Parties (as defined below)) trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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) in connection with the transactions contemplated or permitted hereby, (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority regulating any Lender or its Affiliates), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided, that the Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Issuing Bank or such Lender that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (c) shall provide the Borrower with prompt notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law), (d) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section 9.16 (or as otherwise may be acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower, any subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the written consent of the Borrower, (g) to any Rating Agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such Rating Agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Person), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or any of its Affiliates in connection with regulatory examinations and reviews conducted by any such Governmental Authority or (i) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16; provided that, no such disclosure shall be made by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to any of its affiliates that are engaged as principals primarily in private equity, mezzanine financing or venture capital (the “Excluded Parties”). For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or Holdings and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, other than by reason of disclosure by Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in breach of this Section 9.16.

SECTION 9.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither any Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.18. Release of Collateral. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees):

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (w) upon the Termination Date (and, concurrently therewith, to release all the Loan Parties from their obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those that specifically survive the Termination Date)), (x) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party, (y) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (z) owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;

(b) at the request of the Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (f), (h) and (t) of the definition of Permitted Liens; and

(c) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the Senior Notes, any Junior Financing and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof unless and until such Guarantor is (or is being simultaneously) released from its guarantee with respect to the Senior Notes, such Junior Financing and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof.

Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 9.18. In each case as specified in this Section 9.18, the relevant Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.18.

SECTION 9.19. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents or any Hedging Obligation (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 9.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

CDF’s decision to advance funds is discretionary on CDF’s part and, without limiting such discretion, may be dependent (in CDF’s discretion) on the delivery to CDF from the Administrative Agent (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of certain information and CDF’s satisfaction with such information. CDF may combine all of CDF’s advances to Dealer under this Agreement, and whether provided by one or more of CDF’s branch offices, together with all finance charges, fees and expenses related thereto, to make one debt owed jointly and severally by Dealer. Without limiting the discretionary nature of this credit facility, CDF may, without notice to Dealer, elect not to finance any inventory sold by particular Vendors who are in default to CDF, or with respect to which CDF reasonably feels insecure. Without limiting the discretionary nature of this credit facility, CDF may, in CDF’s sole discretion, (i) if a Termination of Funding and Approval Event or any Default (as such term is defined on the date hereof in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement has occurred, elect not to issue any floorplan approval and/or (ii) if a Termination of Funding and Approval Event has occurred and is continuing or if Availability (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than $0.00, terminate any outstanding floorplan approval. This Agreement concerns the extension of credit, and not the provision of goods or services. Dealer acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall pay all extensions of credit made hereunder, other than Non-Lender Extensions of Credit, in accordance with Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Transaction Statement, all extensions of credit to Dealer shall be due on the earlier of the Maturity Date, or the date the Credit Agreement is terminated. CDF’s election to extend or not extend credit to Dealer is solely at CDF’s discretion and does not depend on the absence or existence of any Termination of Funding and Approval Event.

2. Financing Terms. Certain financial terms of any advance which CDF makes under this Agreement are not set forth herein because such terms depend, in part, on various factors, including without limitation, the availability of Vendor discounts, payment terms or other incentives, CDF’s floorplanning volume with one or more Dealers and Vendor and other economic factors which vary from time to time. Therefore, CDF and Dealer agree to set forth in this Agreement only the general terms of Dealer’s financing arrangement with CDF. Upon agreeing to finance an item of inventory for Dealer, CDF will transmit or otherwise send to Dealer a “Transaction Statement” which is a record that may be authenticated and transmitted by CDF to Dealer from time to time which identifies the Financed Assets financed and/or the advance made and the terms and conditions of repayment of such advance consistent with the terms of the floorplan program then made available to the Dealer by the applicable Vendor. Dealer agrees that Dealer’s failure to notify CDF in writing of any objection to a Transaction Statement within thirty (30) days after a Transaction Statement is transmitted or otherwise sent to Dealer shall constitute Dealer’s (a) acceptance of all terms thereof, (c) acceptance of such as an agreed upon debt, (c) agreement that CDF is financing such inventory at Dealer’s request, and (d) agreement that such Transaction Statement will be incorporated herein by reference. If Dealer objects to the terms of any Transaction Statement, Dealer will pay CDF for such inventory in accordance with the most recent terms for similar inventory to which Dealer has not objected, subject to termination of this Agreement by CDF and its rights under the termination provision contained herein. With respect to any advance CDF makes to a Vendor on behalf of Dealer, CDF may apply against any such amount owed to Vendor any amount CDF is owed from such Vendor with respect to Free Floor Periods (each a “CDF Credit”) or any other amounts. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement, and the terms and conditions of any Transaction Statement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement or Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, shall control. Dealer agrees to pay the full amount reflected on any Transaction Statement. In the event that CDF extends credit, and the Lenders do not have a Floorplan Payment Obligation with respect to any such extension of credit (each being a “Non-Lender Extension of Credit”), then Dealer shall be obligated for the amount of all such Non-Lender Extensions of Credit, and the provisions of the Prior IFA, excluding all references to the grant by Dealer of liens and security interests in its assets, shall be applicable to each such Non-Lender Extension of Credit and related Financed Assets.

(a) “Business Day” means any day the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is open for the transaction of business.

(b) “Credit Agreement” means that certain Credit Agreement among CDW LLC, the Lenders (as such term is defined therein) party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, dated June , 2011 (as amended, modified or amended and restated from time to time)

(d) “Obligations” means all indebtedness and other obligations of any nature whatsoever of each Dealer to CDF, including, without limitation, arising under this Agreement and whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnification obligations or otherwise, and whether such indebtedness or other obligations are existing, future, direct, indirect, acquired, contractual, noncontractual, joint and/or several, fixed, contingent or otherwise.

(f) “Vendor Credits” means all Floorplan Vendor Credits (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

4. Usury. CDF intends to strictly conform to the usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein, in any Transaction Statement, or in any other document, CDF shall never be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law. If CDF ever receives any amount which, if considered to be interest, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, CDF will apply such excess amount to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance which Dealer owes, and then will pay any remaining excess to Dealer. In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the highest lawful rate, Dealer and CDF shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (1) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (2) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof, and (3) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term. CDF will recognize and credit payments made by check, ACH, federal wire, or other means, according to its payment recognition policies from time to time in effect, or as otherwise agreed. Information regarding CDF payment recognition policies is available from Dealer’s CDF representative, the CDF website, or will be communicated from time to time by CDF to Dealer.

5. Termination of Funding and Approval Events. The occurrence of one or more of the following events shall each be a “Termination of Funding and Approval Event”: (a) failure of Dealer to timely pay any Non-Lender Extensions of Credit, (b) the failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to pay, honor or perform any obligations to CDF under Section 2.26 of the Credit Agreement or other provisions of the Credit Agreement of which CDF is a beneficiary thereof; or (c) any Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs under the Credit Agreement.

6. Rights and Remedies Upon Termination of Funding and Approval Event. Upon the occurrence of a Termination of Funding and Approval Event under Section 5(a) above, CDF shall have all the rights and remedies set forth in the Prior Agreement with respect to Non-Lender Extensions of Credit. Upon the occurrence of a Termination of Funding and Approval Event under Section 5(b) above, CDF shall have all rights and remedies against the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction and other applicable law and all the rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination of Funding and Approval Event under Section 5(c), if the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) shall have been accelerated, CDF may terminate any Obligations it has under this Agreement and any outstanding credit approvals immediately. Dealer (including any person subrogated to Dealer’s obligations or rights hereunder) is not a beneficiary of, nor has any right to require CDF to enforce, any repurchase agreement. All of CDF’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

7. Vendor Credits. Dealer authorizes CDF to collect Vendor Credits directly from Vendors and, upon request of CDF, shall instruct Vendors to pay CDF directly. Vendor Credits shall be paid and applied in accordance with Section 2.26(i) of the Credit Agreement.

8. Power of Attorney. Each Dealer authorizes CDF to supply any omitted information and correct errors in any documents between CDF and such Dealer. This power of attorney and the other powers of attorney granted herein are irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

9. Information. CDF may provide to any third party who needs to know in connection with the financings under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender under the Credit Agreement, and any participant in CDF’s advances hereunder) any credit, financial or other information on Dealer that CDF may from time to time possess subject to such recipient’s agreement to keep any such information that is not public information confidential and to use such information only in connection with this Agreement. CDF may provide to any third party any standard credit information on Dealer that CDF may from time to time possess, in response to a request for a credit rating, and any other information if required by law. CDF may obtain from any Vendor or any affiliate of CDF any credit, financial or other information regarding Dealer that such Vendor or affiliate of CDF may from time to time possess. CDF may provide to any affiliate of CDF any credit, financial or other information regarding Dealer that CDF may from time to time possess.

10. Dealer’s Claims Against Vendors. Dealer will not assert against CDF any claim or defense Dealer may have against any Vendor whether for breach of contract, warranty, misrepresentation, failure to ship, lack of authority, or otherwise, including without limitation claims or defenses based upon charge backs, credit memos, rebates, price protection payments or returns. Any such claims or defenses or other claims or defenses Dealer may have against a Vendor shall not affect Dealer’s liabilities or Obligations to CDF.

11. Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice received by the other party. If CDF terminates this Agreement, Dealer agrees that if Dealer is not in default hereunder, sixty (60) days prior notice of termination is reasonable and sufficient (although this provision shall not be construed to mean that shorter periods may not, in particular circumstances, also be reasonable and sufficient), provided however (a) in CDF’s sole discretion, at any time, and without any prior notice from CDF to any Dealer, CDF may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 19(b) of this Agreement and (b) upon the termination of the Credit Agreement, without any prior notice from CDF to any Dealer, upon the payment in full of all Obligations, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. Dealer will be obligated to CDF for CDF’s advances or commitments made before the effective termination date of this Agreement. So long as no Termination of Funding and Approval Event has occurred and is continuing, CDF shall be obligated to Dealer for commitments made hereunder before the effective termination date of this Agreement. CDF will retain all of its rights, interests and remedies hereunder until Dealer has paid CDF in full. All waivers set forth in this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.

12. Binding Effect. Dealer may not assign its interest in this Agreement without CDF’s prior written consent. CDF may assign or participate CDF’s interest, in whole or in part, without Dealer’s consent. This Agreement will protect and bind CDF’s and Dealer’s respective representatives, successors and assigns, as the case may be.

Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of personal delivery, one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier or five (5) calendar days after deposit in the United States mail except that any notice of change of address shall not be effective until actually received.

14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or its application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be impaired or affected and will remain binding and enforceable.

16. Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence regarding Dealer’s performance of its obligations to CDF. Dealer’s liability to CDF is direct and unconditional.

18. Limitation of Remedies and Damages. In the event there is any dispute under this Agreement, the aggrieved party shall not be entitled to exemplary or punitive damages so that the aggrieved party’s remedy in connection with any action arising under or in any way related to this Agreement shall be limited to a breach of contract action and any damages in connection therewith are limited to actual and direct damages.

(a) All advances by CDF to and all other Obligations of any Dealer shall constitute one general obligation of all of the Dealers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dealers shall be primarily and jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of any Dealer to CDF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a Dealer is deemed to be a guarantor of another Dealer hereunder, such Dealer’s liability for any credit extended to or for the benefit of such other Dealer shall be deemed to be a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Dealer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notices of any nature whatsoever with respect to any of the Obligations, and any requirement that CDF protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Dealer, any Guarantor, any other person or any Financed Assets. Each Dealer agrees that any rights of subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights it may have against any other Dealer with respect to its liability hereunder, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law, shall be subject, junior and subordinate in all respect to all Obligations of such Dealer to CDF and that the enforcement of such rights shall be stayed until such time as the Dealers shall have indefeasibly paid in full all of the Obligations and CDF shall be under no duty to extend credit to or for the benefit of any Dealer. The liability of each Dealer shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other agreement between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF, (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Financed Assets or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty or any release of any Guarantor or any other person liable in whole or in part for all or any of the Obligations, (iii) the disallowance or avoidance of all or any portion of CDF’s claim(s) for repayment of the Obligations of any Guarantor to CDF or of CDF’s interest in any security for such Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, a Dealer or a Guarantor or any other surety other than payment in full of the Obligations.

(b) Each Dealer (each, a “Principal”) hereby appoints each other Dealer (each, an “Agent”) as the Principal’s agent and attorney-in-fact (1) to take any action, (2) to execute any document or instrument, (3) to consent or agree to any amendment or other modification of this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF and/or any waiver of or departure from any of the terms hereof or thereof, (4) to perform any Obligation of the Principal, and (5) to give or receive any notice by or to any Dealer hereunder or thereunder; and in each case without regard to whether any such action is done in the name of an Agent or a Principal and, if done in the name of an Agent, without regard to whether such Agent’s capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact is so designated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent may request extensions of credit to or on behalf of any one or more of the Dealers and/or incur any other Obligations for the account of any one or more of the Dealers, and in any such event all of the Dealers shall be fully and jointly and severally bound by and liable for the actions of such Agent. CDF shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by an Agent under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and CDF (including without limitation, any request by an Agent to make credit extensions to or on behalf of itself and/or any one or more other Dealers) until three (3) Business Days after CDF shall have received written notice from each Principal of the revocation of this agency and power of attorney, which revocation shall give CDF the right to terminate this Agreement immediately and without prior notice to Dealer.

20. Governing Law. This Agreement and all agreements between or among Dealer and CDF have been substantially negotiated and will be substantially performed in the state of Illinois. Accordingly, all Disputes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of such state.

21. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been duly executed and delivered by each Dealer and CDF, upon the effectiveness of the closing of the transactions under the Credit Agreement. Upon all obligations and liabilities under the Prior IFA existing on the date hereof being repaid in full, then all liens and security interests granted by any Dealer in favor of CDF in any of any Dealer’s assets under the Prior IFA shall be released and terminated and CDF promptly shall file of record all necessary UCC termination statements to evidence such release and termination, provided, however, that the Prior IFA shall continue into effect, as modified by the release of liens and security interests, with respect to all Non-Lender Extensions of Credit. In connection with such release and termination, at Dealer’s expense, CDF shall provide such termination statements, releases and other documents evidencing such release and termination of CDF’s liens and security interests as the Dealer may reasonably request.

22. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY. DEALER AND CDF WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. DEALER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN ILLINOIS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH DEALERS MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

Each Guarantor absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Secured Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Secured Obligation. Each Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any Secured Obligation, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor hereby further jointly and severally agrees that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Secured Obligations, such Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that this Agreement, and any Liens granted hereunder by each Guarantor to secure the obligations and liabilities arising pursuant to this Agreement, not constitute a “Fraudulent Conveyance” (as defined below). Consequently, each Guarantor agrees that if this Agreement, or any Liens securing the obligations and liabilities arising pursuant to this Agreement, would, but for the application of this sentence and taking into account the provisions of Section 5.02, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Agreement and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement or such Lien to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and payable and not of collection, and waives any right (except such as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

(a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 7.14, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than payment or performance of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations), in full) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or

otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document (other than pursuant to the terms of a waiver, amendment, modification or release of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof) or any other agreement, including with respect to the release of any other Guarantor under this Agreement and so long as any such amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document is made in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) the release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on or security interest in, any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Secured Obligations, (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations, or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the occurrence of the Termination Date). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the Credit Agreement and applicable law, to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense (other than payment or performance of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations), in full) based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the occurrence of the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in accordance with the Credit Agreement and applicable law, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Secured Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Termination Date has occurred. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time and for any reason payment, or any part thereof, of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party whether upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise, notwithstanding the occurrence of the Termination Date.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Secured Obligation, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally promises to and will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Secured Obligation (other than payment of any contingent obligations). Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article V.

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself reasonably informed of the Borrower’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 2 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

(a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations), each Grantor hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties in each case whether tangible or intangible, wherever located, and now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (but excluding any Excluded Collateral, collectively, the “Collateral”):

(ii) the Cash Collateral Accounts and all cash, securities, Instruments and other property deposited or required to be deposited therein;

(ix) all Inventory or documents of title, customs receipts, insurance certificates, shipping documents and other written materials related to the purchase or import of any Inventory;

(xiv) all letters of credit under which such Grantor is the beneficiary and Letter of Credit Rights;

(xvii) all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, including all cash, marketable securities, securities entitlements, financial assets and other funds held in or on deposit in any of the foregoing,

(xix) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, all accessions to and substitutions and replacements for and products of any and all of the foregoing and all offsprings, rents profits and products of any of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any person with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as “all assets” of such Grantor or words of similar effect, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (x) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (y) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon written request. The Administrative Agent agrees, upon request by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, to promptly furnish copies of such filings to the Borrower.

(c) The Administrative Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party. The Administrative Agent agrees, upon request by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s expense, to promptly furnish copies of such filings to the Borrower.

(d) The Security Interest is granted as security only and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Administrative Agent shall become the owner of Pledged Collateral consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant to the terms contained herein, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or any other Person.

Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

(c) (i) Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations containing a description of the Collateral have been prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by the Grantors for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified on Schedule IV hereof (or specified by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement), which are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral consisting of United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights) that are necessary as of the Closing Date (or after the Closing Date, in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement) to publish notice of and protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

(ii) With respect to Accounts of the Grantors reflected as Eligible Accounts on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate, as of the date of such Borrowing Base Certificate, all such Accounts are Eligible Accounts (except with respect to such Accounts that may be subsequently deemed to be ineligible Accounts in the permitted discretion of the Administrative Agent).

(a) Subject to Section 3.02(i), each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien which does not constitute a Permitted Lien.

(b) Subject to Section 3.02(i), each Grantor agrees, upon written request by the Administrative Agent and at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably deem necessary to obtain, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing or continuation statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.

(d) Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

After such grant, such Commercial Tort Claim shall be deemed to constitute Collateral for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Subject to the following sentence, the Grantors will not (i) maintain any Inventory (other than such Collateral in transit) at any location other than those locations listed on Schedule VI (except for locations where the fair market value of Inventory at any such location does not exceed $2,000,000 and the aggregate fair market value of Inventory at all such locations does not exceed $10,000,000), (ii) otherwise change, or add to, such locations, or (iii) change their respective principal places of business or chief executive offices from the location identified on Schedule VI.

With respect to any such new location (excluding Excluded Locations), such Grantor will execute such documents and take such actions as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Liens granted under the Collateral Documents and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement for each such location.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Grantors will not make or agree to make any discount, credit, rebate or other reduction in the original amount owing on a Receivable or accept in satisfaction of a Receivable less than the original amount thereof, except that, until such time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or a Cash Dominion Period as the Grantors receive a notice from the Administrative Agent instructing them to cease doing so, the Grantors may make discounts, credits, rebates or other reductions in the amount of Accounts in the ordinary course of business.

(iii) The Grantors will deliver to the Administrative Agent promptly upon its request after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default duplicate invoices with respect to each Account bearing such language of assignment as the Administrative Agent shall specify.

(iv) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Grantors shall take all steps reasonably necessary to grant the Administrative Agent “control” (within the meaning of set forth in Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of all electronic chattel paper in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to electronic chattel paper to the extent that all amounts payable evidenced by such electronic chattel paper in which the Administrative Agent has not been vested “control” does not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Grantors will do all things commercially reasonable to maintain, preserve, protect and keep the Inventory in good repair and working and saleable condition.

(ii) The Grantors will maintain a perpetual inventory reporting system at all times.

In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Security Interest in the Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Collateral:

(a) Instruments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments in excess of $1,000,000 individually, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify.

(b) Investment Property. Subject to the terms hereof, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated Securities, to the extent the same do not constitute Excluded Collateral, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, to the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection), accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection) may from time to time reasonably specify. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof and supplement any prior schedule so delivered; provided, that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities and shall not in and of itself result in any Default or Event of Default. Each certificate representing an interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged under Section 3.01 shall be physically delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection) and endorsed to the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection) or endorsed in blank.

(c) Security Interests in Property of Account Debtors. If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which equals or exceeds $250,000 to secure payment of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(d) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit having an individual face amount in an amount in excess of $250,000, the applicable Grantor shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, if requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (i) consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Administrative Agent and (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account of the Administrative Agent or subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Unless requested by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the actions in the preceding sentence shall not be required to the extent that the amount of any such letter of credit, together with the aggregate amount of all other letters of credit for which the actions described above in clause (i) and (ii) have not been taken, does not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors.

Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, except in the case of a Bankruptcy Default, the Administrative Agent shall have given the Grantors prior written notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Agreement:

(a) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and applicable law, and no notice of any such voting or exercise of any consensual rights and powers need be given to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(c) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not prohibited by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Collateral shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, to the Term Loan Agent thereunder) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, by the Term Loan Agent thereunder) on or prior to the later to occur of (i) 30 days following the receipt thereof and (ii) the earlier of the date of the required delivery of the next Section 5.04 Financials and the date which is 45 days after the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent).

SECTION 3.06. Additional Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(a) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, other than the expiration of such Patent at the end of its natural term, subject to such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment.

(b) Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each registered Trademark that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such Trademark registration in full force free from any legally binding determination of abandonment or invalidity of such Trademark registration due to nonuse, subject to such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment.

(c) Except to the extent failure to act could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and subject to each Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, each Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the United States Copyright Office, to maintain and pursue each material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(d) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in any Intellectual Property (other than any Excluded Collateral) after the Closing Date, to the extent that such Intellectual Property would be a part of the Collateral under the terms of this Agreement had it been owned by such Grantor as of the Closing Date, (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby shall automatically become part of the Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this

Agreement. Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent), the relevant Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an appropriate Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to all applicable United States federally registered (or application for United States federally registered) After-Acquired Intellectual Property owned by it as of the last day of applicable fiscal quarter, to the extent that such Intellectual Property becomes part of the Collateral and to the extent that it is not covered by any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement so signed and delivered by it.

If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement, from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Inventory are stored or located (except for such locations where the value of Inventory stored or located at any such location does not exceed $2,000,000 so long as the aggregate value of Inventory does not exceed $10,000,000 for all such locations).

Each Grantor will provide to the Administrative Agent within 60 days of the Administrative Agent’s request (or such longer period as to which the Administrative Agent may consent), a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly executed on behalf of each financial institution holding a deposit account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) of such Grantor as set forth in this Agreement.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent), the name of the applicable Grantor or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the name of the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, to the Term Loan Agent thereunder acting as the Administrative Agent’s agent or bailee for the purpose of perfection). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with prior written notice to the relevant Grantor, the Administrative Agent (or, to the extent required under the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, the Term Loan Agent thereunder) shall at all times have the right to exchange the certificates representing any Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 3.05 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of Section 3.05 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent upon written demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each applicable Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other

distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (c) of Section 3.05 and that remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 3.05, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (b) of Section 3.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided, however, that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the provision of the notice referred to above to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. To the extent the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (c) has been given, after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a) of Section 3.05, and the Administrative Agent shall again have the obligations under paragraph (b) of Section 3.05.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.01, if a Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to give any notice referred to in Section 3.05 or this Section 4.01 in order to exercise any of its rights described in said Sections, and the suspension of the rights of each of the Grantors under said Sections shall be automatic upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Default.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on written demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on written demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral (provided that such assignment, transfer or conveyance of any Collateral consisting of Trademarks includes an assignment, transfer or conveyance of the goodwill associated with such Trademarks) by the applicable Grantor to the Administrative Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements), (b) to withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from the Cash Collateral Account and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 4.03 or otherwise as provided in the Credit Agreement, (c) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral without breach of the peace, and subject to the terms of any related lease agreement, to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and (d) generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the applicable jurisdiction, or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange upon such commercially reasonable terms and conditions as it may deem necessary, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it necessary to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Grantor 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations (other than contingent obligations) paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.

Until the Termination Date, each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated in writing by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required under the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may upon prior written notice to such Grantor, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of any Grantor hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent deems necessary. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon written demand as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral in accordance with Section 2.17(b) of the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including

pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies in this Article IV at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (until the termination of this Agreement and subject to Section 7.14) an irrevocable nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), subject in all respects to any Licenses to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of know how, Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license or sublicense entered into by the Administrative Agent with a third party in accordance with this Section 4.04 shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default, except to the extent that such license or sublicense would invalidate or render unenforceable any such Grantor’s Intellectual Property.

In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that to the extent such restrictions and limitations apply to any proposed sale of Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of such Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that to the extent such restrictions and limitations apply to any proposed sale of Pledged Collateral, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.05 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.

In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a claim of any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Secured Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party, and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to (i) the amount of such payment or (ii) the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.16, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 5.01 to the extent of such payment.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the Obligations until the Termination Date; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Grantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 4.03. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of its obligations hereunder.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, each Grantor shall (a) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, Deposit Account Control Agreements for each Deposit Account maintained by each Grantor into which all cash, checks or other similar payments relating to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables will be deposited (a “Collateral Deposit Account”), which Collateral Deposit Accounts are identified as such on Schedule VII, and (b) establish lock box service (the “Lock Boxes”) with the bank(s) set forth in Schedule VII (each, a “Depository Bank”), which Lock Boxes shall be subject to lock box agreements reasonably acceptable

to the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lock Box Agreement”) providing for all collections in the Lock Boxes to be deposited into the Collateral Deposit Account(s) with such Depository Bank(s). After the Closing Date, each Grantor will comply with the terms of Section 6.02.

(b) Each Grantor shall direct all of its Account Debtors to forward payments directly to Lock Boxes subject to Lock Box Agreements. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and until such time as no Event of Default exists) or at any time after Excess Cash Availability is less than the Excess Availability Threshold for more than 10 Business Days (and until such time as Excess Cash Availability is greater than the Excess Availability Threshold for a period of more than 30 Business Days) (each such period, a “Cash Dominion Period”), the Administrative Agent may deliver written instructions to the Depository Banks directing them to transfer on a daily basis all payments or deposits received in the Lock Boxes and the Collateral Deposit Accounts to a collection account maintained by the Grantors with the Administrative Agent (the “Collection Account”) or as otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent; provided that upon the termination or expiration of all Cash Dominion Periods, the Administrative Agent shall promptly rescind such instructions to the Depository Banks. If the Grantors receive any proceeds of any Receivables, such Grantors shall receive such payments as the Administrative Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables received by them to a Collateral Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds received into the Collection Account as provided by the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Before opening or replacing any Collateral Deposit Account, other Deposit Account or establishing a new Lock Box, each Grantor shall (a) provide notice to the Administrative Agent and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, deliver a Deposit Account Control Agreement to the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of such Deposit Account and/or Lock Box.

All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Floorplan Funding Agent and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any Loans, the making by the Floorplan Funding Agent of any Floorplan Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit by each Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Floorplan Funding Agent or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Floorplan Funding Agent or any Lender may have had notice or actual knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Event, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or

released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.05 shall survive the Termination Date.

SECTION 7.06. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact; Account Verification.

(a) Until the Termination Date, each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (i) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof, (ii) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral, (iii) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral, (iv) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor, (v) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral, (vi) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral, (vii) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent, the Cash Collateral Accounts or for any other reason, (viii) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral (provided that any sale, assignment or transfer of Collateral consisting of Trademarks includes an assignment of the goodwill associated with such Trademarks), (ix) to apply the proceeds of any Secured Obligations as provided in Article IV, (x) to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xii) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (xiii) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xiv) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as

though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. The foregoing powers of attorney being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Security Interest shall have terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders, under this Section 7.06 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.

(c) Following (i) the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Period or (ii) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, in the Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of a nominee of the Administrative Agent, communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such Grantors, parties to contracts with the Grantors and obligors in respect of Instruments of the Grantors to verify with such Persons, to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables.

THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Floorplan Funding Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or Floorplan Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Floorplan Funding Agent or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. Except as otherwise provided herein, no notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties that are party thereto and are affected by such waiver, amendment or modification, subject to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

EACH PARTY HERETO (AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF) HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

(a) Each of the parties and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby 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 or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Floorplan Funding Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party hereto and the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(a) This Agreement, the Guarantees made herein, the Security Interest, the pledge of the Pledged Collateral and all other security interests granted hereby (including, without limitation, the licenses granted by the Grantors and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.04) shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date (other than to the extent any funds are on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account, in which case, the Security Interest in such Cash Collateral Account shall continue until released by the relevant Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable).

(b) Any Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interests created hereunder in the Collateral of such Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Loan Party.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person that is not Borrower or a Grantor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released, and the licenses granted by the Grantors and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.04 shall be automatically terminated.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than any representation and warranty that the Administrative Agent has the authority to execute and deliver such documents) or any Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.05, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon written demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.14 as provided in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Administrative Agent take any action described in preceding paragraph (d) above, it shall, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability, whatsoever, to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 7.14.

Pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, each wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary, an Excluded Subsidiary, or a Domestic Subsidiary that is a disregarded entity for

United States federal income tax purposes owned by a non-disregarded non-United States entity) that was not in existence or not a subsidiary on the Closing Date is required to enter into this Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor upon becoming such a subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and such subsidiary of a supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto, such subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

Subject to Section 7.14 hereof, all rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument (so long as the same are made in accordance with the terms of Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement), (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement other than payment of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations), indefeasibly in full in cash.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

(a) Any and all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of any Term Loan Secured Party securing the Term Loan Obligations, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise are expressly junior in priority, operation and effect to any and all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations, notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary contained in any agreement or filing to which any Term Loan Secured Party may now or hereafter be a party, and regardless of the time, order or method of grant, attachment, recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests, assignments, pledges, deeds, mortgages and other liens, charges or encumbrances or any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing, (ii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or any applicable law or any ABL Document or Term Loan Document or any other circumstance whatsoever and (iii) the fact that any such Liens in favor of any ABL Secured Party securing any of the ABL Obligations are (A) subordinated to any Lien securing any obligation of any Loan Party other than the Term Loan Obligations or (B) otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.

(b) Any and all Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of any ABL Secured Party securing the ABL Obligations, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise are expressly junior in priority, operation and effect to any and all Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of the Term Loan Secured Parties securing the Term Loan

Notwithstanding any failure by any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Common Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the Common Collateral granted to the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties, the priority and rights as between the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

2.2 Nature of ABL Obligations. The Term Loan Agent on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties acknowledges that a portion of the ABL Obligations represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event without notice to or consent by the Term Loan Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations or any portion thereof.

2.3 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The Term Loan Agent on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties agrees that, prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or recordings filed or recorded by or on behalf of the Term Loan Agent shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent.

(b) The ABL Agent on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties agrees that, prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or other filings or recordings filed or recorded by or on behalf of the ABL Agent shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Term Loan Agent.

Incorporated, as Collateral Agent, and its successors and assigns in such property in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 17, 2010 among JPMorgan

Chase Bank, N.A., as ABL Agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as Term Loan Agent and CDW LLC and certain of its subsidiaries”.

(d) Each of the ABL Agent and the Term Loan Agent hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents or the Term Loan Security Documents, as applicable, such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties or the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties, as applicable, solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Common Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the ABL Agent or the Term Loan Agent (or any third party acting on either such Person’s behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party or the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party, as applicable, with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement, the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents; provided that (i) subsequent to the occurrence of the ABL Obligations Payment Date (if the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date has not occurred), the ABL Agent shall (A) deliver to the Term Loan Agent, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Term Loan Documents or (B) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and (ii) subsequent to the occurrence of the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date (if the ABL Obligations Payment Date has not occurred), the Term Loan Agent shall (A) deliver to the ABL Agent, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the ABL Documents or (B) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs, and provided, further, that the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties and shall not impose on the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party.

2.4 No New Liens. (a) Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date has occurred, (i) there shall be no Lien, and no Loan Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Loan Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing the ABL Obligations subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and (ii) if any Term Loan Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Loan Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1, then the Term Loan Agent will, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Loan Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Loan Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the ABL Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

(b) Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date has occurred, (i) there shall be no Lien (other than cash collateralization of any ABL Obligations consisting of letters of credit or Hedging Obligations), and no Loan Party shall have any right to create any Lien (other than cash collateralization of any ABL Obligations consisting of letters of credit or Hedging Obligations), on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing the Term Loan Obligations subject to the lien priorities set

forth in Section 2.1 and (ii) if any ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Documents, subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1, then the ABL Agent will, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent as security for the Term Loan Obligations (subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Term Loan Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien; provided that the Note Obligations (as defined in the Term Loan Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) shall not be secured by any Excluded Note Collateral (as defined in the Term Loan Guarantee and Collateral Agreement). To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Term Loan Secured Parties, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

2.5 Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any date the events described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the defined term “ABL Obligations Payment Date” (other than with respect to Hedging Obligations, Cash Management Obligations and Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have occurred, the Term Loan Agent on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties shall have the right to take any Enforcement Action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that the Term Loan Agent on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that any proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral received after such date shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1(a) until the ABL Obligations Payment Date.

3.1 Exclusive Enforcement. (a) Subject to the proviso set forth in Section 3.2(a), until the ABL Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, the ABL Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of any Term Loan Secured Party except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed as preventing the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party from taking any action which is reasonably necessary to (i) perfect the Term Loan Liens upon the ABL Priority Collateral (other than by possession or “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code)) or (ii) prove, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the Term Loan Liens upon the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as such action would not, in any case, adversely affect any ABL Lien. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the ABL Documents, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the ABL Obligations and the ABL Priority Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion.

(b) Subject to the proviso set forth in Section 3.2(b), until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of any ABL Secured Party except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed as preventing the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party from taking any action which is reasonably necessary to (i) perfect the ABL Liens upon the Term Loan Priority Collateral (other than by possession or “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code)) or (ii) prove, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the ABL Liens upon the Term Loan Priority Collateral, so long as such action would not, in any case, adversely affect any Term Loan Lien. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or

an event of default under the Term Loan Documents, the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Term Loan Obligations and the Term Loan Priority Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion.

from the earlier of (a) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Loan Party that has not been dismissed and (b) the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the ABL Agent with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral of the Term Loan Agent’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions (the “Term Loan Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, the Term Loan Agent will not be entitled to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to ABL Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term Loan Standstill Period, the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party shall have commenced the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Term Loan Agent) and is pursuing the exercise thereof.

In the event that any ABL Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Term Loan Liens and the Term Loan Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.

In the event that the Term Loan Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Agent of such fact and, upon request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, shall either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the ABL Agent copies thereof.

(c) The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably grants the ABL Agent a non-exclusive worldwide license to or right to use, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent of the Term Loan Agent’s interest therein, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, any of the Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned by, licensed to, or otherwise used by the Loan Parties in order for the ABL Agent and the ABL

Secured Parties to purchase, use, market, repossess, possess, store, assemble, manufacture, process, sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of any asset included in the ABL Priority Collateral in connection with the liquidation, disposition, foreclosure or realization upon the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents; provided that such license shall expire on the earlier of (i) the ABL Obligations Payment Date and (ii) the date that the ABL Priority Collateral has been liquidated, disposed of, foreclosed on or realized upon (the “License Expiration Date”). The Term Loan Agent agrees that any of the Intellectual Property constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (whether pursuant to an Enforcement Action or otherwise) prior to the License Expiration Date will be subject to the rights of the ABL Agent as set forth in this Section 3.4.

(d) (A) If the Term Loan Agent, or any agent or representative of the Term Loan Agent, or any third party pursuant to any Enforcement Action undertaken by the Term Loan Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Real Estate Assets, the Term Loan Agent or, if applicable, any such third party (at such address to be provided by the Term Loan Agent in connection with the applicable Enforcement Action) shall promptly notify the ABL Agent of that fact and the ABL Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter (or such longer period of time, if any, as may be agreed upon by the Term Loan Agent in its sole discretion), notify the Term Loan Agent as to whether the ABL Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement, at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Real Estate Assets at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period may apply to each such property.

(B) Upon delivery of notice to the Term Loan Agent as provided in paragraph (A) above of this Section 3.3(d), the Access Period shall commence for the subject parcel of Real Estate Assets. During the Access Period or for any period prior to an Access Period when the ABL Agent may have had access and/or use of any Term Loan Priority Collateral (e.g. pursuant to access granted by a landlord of any Real Estate Asset), the ABL Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent free right to use, the Term Loan Priority Collateral for the purpose of arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging, shipping and other preparation of such ABL Priority Collateral for sale or disposition. During any such Access Period (or period prior to an Access Period), the ABL Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales or other liquidations of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall take proper care of any Term Loan Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy of the Term Loan Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties for any injury or damage to Persons or property caused by the acts or omissions of Persons acting on their behalf or at their direction or Persons who are their invitees with respect to the right to assemble, inspect, operate, service, maintain, process, package, ship and sell the ABL Priority Collateral while located on the subject parcel of Real Estate Assets. The ABL Agent and the Term Loan Agent shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Term Loan Agent to commence foreclosure of the related mortgages or to show the Term Loan Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Term Loan Priority Collateral for sale.

(C) If the Term Loan Agent shall foreclose or otherwise sell any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Agent will notify the buyer thereof of the existence of this Agreement and that the buyer is acquiring such Term Loan Priority Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(D) The Loan Parties hereby agree with the Term Loan Agent and the ABL Agent that the ABL Agent shall have access, during the Access Period, as described herein and each such Loan Party that owns any of the Real Estate Assets grants a non-exclusive easement in gross over its property to permit the uses by the ABL Agent contemplated by this Section 3.4(d). The Term Loan Agent consents to such easement and to the recordation of a collateral access easement agreement at the election of the ABL Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Agent, in the relevant real estate records with respect to each parcel of real property that is now or hereafter subject to a mortgage in favor of the Term Loan Agent. The ABL Agent agrees that upon either an occurrence of the ABL Obligations Payment Date or the expiration of the final Access Period with respect to any parcel of real property covered by a mortgage in favor of the Term Loan Agent, it shall, upon request, execute and deliver to the Term Loan Agent, or if a Term Loan Obligations Payment Date has occurred, to the respective Loan Party, such documentation, in recordable form, as may reasonably be requested to terminate any and all rights with respect to such parcel of real property covered by a mortgage in favor of the Term Loan Agent.

3.5 No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6, if any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party shall be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party.

3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Term Loan Secured Party or ABL Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the ABL Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, as applicable, may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party.

(b) Should any Term Loan Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any ABL Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may obtain relief against such Term Loan Secured Party, by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Term Loan Agent on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party that (i) the ABL Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Term Loan Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the ABL Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

(c) Should any ABL Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Term Loan Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may obtain relief against such ABL Secured Party, by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the ABL Agent on behalf of each ABL Secured Party that (i) the Term Loan Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each ABL Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the Term Loan Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

SECTION 4. Application of Proceeds; Dispositions and Releases; Inspection and Insurance.

4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. (a) All proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of ABL Priority Collateral in connection with or resulting from any Enforcement Action, and whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows: first to the ABL Agent for application to the ABL Obligations in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents, until the ABL Obligations Payment Date has occurred and thereafter, subject to the terms of any Inventory Financing Intercreditor Agreement, to the Term Loan Agent for application in accordance with the Term Loan Documents.

replacement or adequate protection Lien on such Term Loan Post-Petition Assets is junior and subordinate to the Term Loan Lien on such Term Loan Post-Petition Assets and (y) the Term Loan Agent also receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on such Term Loan Post-Petition Assets to secure the Term Loan Obligations.

(b) If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, and if the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “Term Loan DIP Financing”), which Term Loan DIP Financing shall be secured by the Term Loan Priority Collateral, then the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties that each ABL Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such Term Loan DIP Financing, (ii) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such Term Loan DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 5.4 below, and (iii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the ABL Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (A) to such Term Loan DIP Financing on the same terms as the Term Loan Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection provided to the Term Loan Secured Parties and (C) to any “carve-out,” including for debtor’s professionals, agreed to by the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties, so long as (1) the ABL Agent retains the ABL Liens on the Common Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any such Insolvency Proceeding), and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding and any Lien securing such Term Loan DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the ABL Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, (2) all Liens on Term Loan Priority Collateral securing any such Term Loan DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Term Loan Liens on such Term Loan Priority Collateral and (3) if the Term Loan Agent receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of any Loan Party that constitute ABL Priority Collateral (the “ABL Post-Petition Assets”) to secure the Term Loan Obligations, (x) such replacement or adequate protection Lien on such ABL Post-Petition Assets is junior and subordinate to the ABL Lien on such ABL Post-Petition Assets and (y) the ABL Agent also receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on such ABL Post-Petition Assets to secure the ABL Obligations.

(c) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the Term Loan Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the Term Loan Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent. Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Agent. In addition, neither the ABL Agent nor the Term Loan Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Common Collateral without providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the other, unless otherwise agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Term Loan Agent.

5.4 Adequate Protection. (a) The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, so long as the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties comply with Section 5.4(b), none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Secured Parties for adequate protection of its interest in the Common Collateral or any adequate protection provided to the ABL Agent or the other ABL Secured Parties or (ii) any objection by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection in the Common Collateral or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) does not violate Section 5.2 hereof. The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, further agrees that, prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, none of them shall assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise that is senior to or on a parity with the ABL Liens for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any ABL Priority Collateral. Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any ABL DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and the ABL Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then in connection with any such ABL DIP Financing or use of cash collateral the Term Loan Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, may, as adequate protection of their interests in the ABL Priority Collateral, seek or accept (and the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not object to) adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and such ABL DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Term Loan Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral are so subordinated to the ABL Obligations under this Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the ABL Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Term Loan Agent shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims.

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, so long as the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties comply with Section 5.4(a), none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties for adequate protection of its interest in the Common Collateral or any adequate protection provided to the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties or (ii) any objection by the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection in the Common Collateral or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the Term Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) does not violate Section 5.2 hereof.

Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the Term Loan Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral that constitutes Term Loan Priority Collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any Term Loan DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and the Term Loan Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then in connection with any such Term Loan DIP Financing or use of cash

collateral the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the ABL Secured Parties, may, as adequate protection of their interests in the Term Loan Priority Collateral, seek or accept (and the Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall not object to) adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations and such Term Loan DIP Financing on the same basis as the other ABL Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral are so subordinated to the Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the Term Loan Secured Parties; provided, however, that the ABL Agent shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims.

5.5 Avoidance Issues. (a) If any ABL Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party any amount (a “Recovery”), because such Recovery was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and, for the purposes of this Agreement (and, as applicable, the ABL Documents and the Term Loan Documents), deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the ABL Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Term Loan Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

(b) If any Term Loan Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party any Recovery, because such Recovery was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Term Loan Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and, for the purposes of this Agreement (and, as applicable, the ABL Documents and the Term Loan Documents), deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The ABL Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. (a) Neither the Term Loan Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral that is supported by the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Loan Agent and each other Term Loan Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the ABL Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral; provided that (i) ABL Liens

and Term Loan Liens will attach to the proceeds of any such sale or disposition with the same lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 and (ii) Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition shall have been granted to the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties.

(b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Term Loan Priority Collateral that is supported by the Term Loan Secured Parties, and the ABL Agent and each other ABL Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the Term Loan Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such Term Loan Priority Collateral; provided that (i) Term Loan Liens and ABL Liens will attach to the proceeds of any such sale or disposition with the same lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1, (ii) Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition shall have been granted to the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties and (iii) any of the Intellectual Property constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (pursuant to an Enforcement Action) prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date will be subject to the rights of the ABL Agent as set forth in Section 3.4.

5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Loan Secured Party and each ABL Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Term Loan Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral with the effect being that (i) to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Loan Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from the ABL Priority Collateral before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Loan Secured Parties and (ii) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Term Loan Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the ABL Secured Parties), the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from the Term Loan Priority Collateral before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the ABL Secured Parties, with the Term Loan Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of such Secured Parties.

5.8 Other Matters. (a) To the extent that the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent; provided that if requested by the ABL Agent, the Term Loan Agent shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the ABL Agent, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

(b) To the extent that the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Agent; provided that if requested by the Term Loan Agent, the ABL Agent shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Term Loan Agent, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

5.9 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any of the Loan Parties under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable foreign laws and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Loan Party shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for such Loan Party and such Loan Party as a debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of (a) the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties and (b) the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Common Collateral or proceeds of Common Collateral, shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Loan Party as a debtor-in-possession. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any ABL Priority Collateral of the reorganized debtor are distributed both on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent such debt obligations are secured by Liens upon any ABL Priority Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to any plan effected pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any Term Loan Priority Collateral of the reorganized debtor are distributed both on account of Term Loan Obligations and on account of ABL Obligations, then, to the extent such debt obligations are secured by Liens upon any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to any plan effected pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
