Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Security Interest continues to the full extent provided in this Agreement until all Obligations are fully and indefeasibly paid and performed, even if the Credit Line is from time to time modified, suspended, or terminated and reestablished.”

“7.    Controlled Account(s). All proceeds of the Collateral consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or other collections (the “Ally Proceeds”) are transferred directly into the Controlled Accounts and are transferred out of the Controlled Accounts directly to the Operating Account, as outlined on the Funds Flow Certificate. No funds consisting of the proceeds of the collateral of any party (other than the Ally Parties and parties who have a junior security interest in the Collateral with the prior written consent of the Ally Parties, in which case no proceeds of any such parties’ collateral other than the Collateral) have been deposited into or held at the Controlled Accounts.”
Section 1.06.    Subsection III.G of the Existing Financing Agreement is hereby amended to add the following Subsections III.G.1(e), and III.G.10-20 in the applicable numerical order:
“(e)     Provide a written report in form reasonably satisfactory to the Ally Parties identifying the Minimum Balance Mark Vehicles as of the last day of each month, and any other date as may be reasonably requested by the Ally Parties; the written report will include at least the VIN of each Minimum Balance Mark Vehicle and the date that such Vehicle was sold. Such report must be delivered to the Ally Parties no later than the fifth day of the following month (e.g., January report must be delivered by February 5th).

4


other than the Ally Parties (other than parties who have a junior security interest in the Collateral with the prior written consent of the Ally Parties, in which case no proceeds of any such parties’ collateral other than the Collateral) into the Controlled Accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, Ally Proceeds may be transferred at any time out of the Operating Account to the extent such transfer does not otherwise violate this Agreement, the Consent or the Intercreditor Agreement.
11.    Cause all Ally Proceeds received by Dealership to be transferred directly to a Controlled Account, regardless of the source from which such Ally Proceeds were received by Dealership, as follows (i) with respect to Ally Proceeds constituting cash or other forms of payment that are immediately transferrable, on a daily basis and (ii) with respect to Ally Proceeds constituting checks, ACH transfers or other forms of payment that are not immediately transferrable, as promptly as such checks, ACH transfers or other forms of payment can be processed in the ordinary course of business.
12.    Not change the accounts into which the Ally Proceeds will be directly deposited or create any new accounts into which Ally Proceeds may be directly deposited without the prior written consent of the Ally Parties and providing the Ally Parties with a Deposit Account Control Agreement (if such accounts are additions to, substitutions of, or replacements of, the Controlled Accounts) with respect to such new accounts in form and substance satisfactory to the Ally Parties.
13.    At all times maintain a minimum cash balance in the Operating Account, of immediately available funds, equal to no less than all amounts received from the sale of Vehicles or proceeds of Vehicles whereby principal is owed by Dealership to the Ally Parties under Subsection III.C.2(a)(i) (such Vehicles are the “Minimum Balance Mark Vehicles”).
14.    Not grant a security interest over, pledge, or permit any confiscations, assessments, liens, or encumbrances on, the Operating Account or any Controlled Account, except for liens on the Operating Account or any Controlled Account, as applicable, (a) that constitute non-consensual liens permitted under Subsection III.D.3 or (b) in favor of the depository institution holding such Operating Account or such Controlled Account, as applicable, specifically for (i) fees or charges for the maintenance and administration of the Operating Account or the Controlled Account, as applicable, (ii) settlement amounts, or (iii) returned items. For the avoidance of doubt, this covenant is in addition to, and does not replace, the prohibition on encumbering the Controlled Accounts in Subsection III.D.3. The Ally Parties are permitted to note this covenant in financing statements and other public filings and to provide notices to third parties of all restrictions outlined in this Agreement that prohibit encumbering the Ally Parties’ Collateral and the accounts described in this Subsection III.F.14.
15.    Provide, or cause the depository bank(s) maintaining any Controlled Accounts or the Operating Account to provide, (i) bank statements no later than the 5th day of each month to the Ally Parties and (ii) upon request, evidence in form and substance satisfactory to the Ally Parties to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
16.    Not make any payment or prepayment (whether in respect of a mandatory prepayment or voluntary prepayment) of any amount owed pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents unless, immediately before and after giving effect to any such payment or prepayment, no Default has occurred or is continuing or would be expected to result therefrom.
17.     Not amend, restate, amend and restate, extend, supplement, or otherwise modify any Additional Senior Debt Document or Second Priority Debt Document to the extent that such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, extension, supplement or modification would be in violation of the terms or conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Initial First Lien Inventory Financing Document (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement as in effect on the date such Intercreditor Agreement is executed), without the prior written consent of the Ally Parties.
18.    Provide and make reasonable efforts to cause all consignors who have consigned vehicles to Dealership to provide, the following information to the Ally Parties to ensure that the Ally Parties have not and will not floorplan such Consigned Vehicles or include such Consigned Vehicles in calculating Dealership’s equity in its inventory: vehicle identification number, vehicle ownership status, proof of ownership, and physical location.

5


Collateral by Dealership (or such longer period as agreed to in writing by the Ally Parties in their sole discretion), Dealership will notify Ally in writing, deliver a new executed intellectual property security agreement, and cooperate with the Ally Parties’ perfection of the Security Interest in such Collateral as required in Subsection III.D.4.
20.    Not transfer or otherwise dispose of, in any dispositions other than retail sales to consumers in the ordinary course of business, 10% or more of its Vehicles (whether nor not such Vehicles are Inventory Financed Vehicles), to one or more parties (whether nor not such parties are affiliated), whether in one or a series of transactions occurring in a seven (7) calendar day period, without first obtaining the Ally Parties’ prior written consent to such sale or transfer.
Section 1.07.    Subsection III.H of the Existing Financing Agreement is hereby amended to add the following Subsection III.H.8:
“8.    An “Event of Default” (or similar term) under any Junior Debt Document (after giving effect to all notice requirements and grace and cure periods thereunder); provided that unless the Ally Parties have already demanded the immediate payment in full of the Obligations pursuant to Subsection III.J.2, this Subsection III.H.9 shall not apply to any such “Event of Default” that is (a) cured by the relevant Note Parties or (b) with respect to which the requisite holders of indebtedness under the applicable Junior Debt Document have agreed to waive in full (including in the form of any permitted amendment) such “Event of Default” such that it is no longer continuing under the applicable Junior Debt Document and the Ally Parties have received written evidence of such waiver and the cessation of the “Event of Default” under this clause (b). For the avoidance of doubt, this Subsection III.H.9 and Subsection III.H.7 are not intended to replace or limit each other, and nothing in this Section III.H.9 shall affect any other Default under this Section III.H or the Ally Parties’ rights and remedies with respect thereto.”
Section 1.08.    Subsection III.J.6 of the Existing Financing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“6.    Refrain from Movement or Disposition. Upon request by either or both of the Ally Parties, Dealership will:
