(iii) If Agent makes a request for funding under this Section 2.2.6(a) by 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on any Business Day, the Lenders will deliver the required amount to Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day after such request. The proceeds of all Refunding New Vehicle Floorplan Loans shall be paid by Agent to the Swing Line Lender in repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the applicable New Vehicle Swing Line Loans.

(b)Funding of Participations.In addition to the right of the Swing Line Lender to request refunding of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.6(a), upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, Agent may request each Lender (including Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Lender) to fund its participation in the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans by paying to Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, its Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans. If Agent makes such request by 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on any Business Day, the Lenders will deliver such amount to Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day after such request. All participations funded by the Lenders under this Section 2.2.6(b) shall be treated as the funding of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans for purposes of the calculation of the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee. If any payment paid to any Lender with respect to its participating interest in any New Vehicle Swing Line Loan is thereafter recovered from or must be returned or paid over by Swing Line Lender for any reason, such Lender will pay to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount and of any interest and other amounts paid or payable by the Swing Line Lender with respect to such amount. Agent agrees not to request any funding of the Lender’s participations in the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans under this Section 2.2.6(b) at any time that such participations may be legally repaid using advances of the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans under Section 2.2.6(a).

(c)Payment to Swing Line Lender.Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement (i) except as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 2.2.6(c) all payments of principal and interest on the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans shall be paid by Agent solely to the Swing Line Lender; and (ii) with respect to each participation in New Vehicle Swing Line Loans which is funded by any Lender, such Lender (including Swing Line Lender in its capacity as Lender) shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of payments of (A) principal on such New Vehicle Swing Line Loans and (B) interest on such New Vehicle Swing Line Loans only for the period following the date such participation is funded.

(d)Obligations Unconditional.The obligation of each Lender to make New Vehicle Floorplan Loans to repay New Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.6(a) or to fund its participation interests in New Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.6(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the fact that any one or more of the conditions in Article 9 is not satisfied, the termination of the availability of Loans, the fact that such New Vehicle Floorplan Loan is made after the Termination Date in compliance with the terms of a Payment Commitment or to refinance New Vehicle Swing Line Loans made prior to the Termination Date, any defense, setoff, counterclaim or claim for recoupment of any Lender against Agent or Swing Line Lender or any other circumstance, whether or not similar to the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders shall not be required to refinance New Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.6(a) or to fund their participation interests in Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.2.6(b) (i) if after giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal balance of such Lender’s New Vehicle Floorplan Loans would exceed its New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, or (ii) with respect to any portions of the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans that are funded by Swing Line Lender after Agent is deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or after the Termination Date.

2.2.7Advances Pursuant to Payment Commitment.

(a) In addition to New Vehicle Swing Line Loans made pursuant to Section 2.2.3, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower authorizes Agent and Swing Line Lender to make payment directly to manufacturers or distributors of Vehicles in payment for New Vehicles purchased by any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Payment Commitment. Each payment pursuant to a Payment Commitment shall constitute a New Vehicle Swing Line Loan hereunder in the amount of such payment. Agent, in its sole discretion, (i) may revise a Payment Commitment at any time, whether or not a Default has occurred, by giving written notice to the applicable manufacturer or distributor and the Company, and (ii) may terminate or suspend a Payment Commitment at any time, whether or not a Default has occurred, by giving written notice to the applicable manufacturer or distributor, and if no Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Company. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower shall be and remain jointly and severally liable to Swing Line Lender for all payments made to a manufacturer or distributor pursuant to a Payment Commitment. Agent and the Lenders do not assume any responsibility for (and each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower’s obligation to repay any Advance hereunder will not be affected or impaired in any way by) the correctness, validity, genuineness or sufficiency of any request for payment by a manufacturer or distributor under a Payment Commitment, any documents pertaining thereto or the existence, character, quantity, quality, condition, weight, value or delivery of any Vehicles purchased with the proceeds of any Advance. In this regard, Agent may conclusively presume and rely upon the validity and the appropriateness of any payment request by a manufacturer or distributor under a Payment Commitment and any and all documents or information related thereto. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, the Agent may take such action as is necessary to terminate any Payment Commitments up to ten (10) days prior to the Termination Date, so that no Payment Commitments shall become payable later than the Termination Date or, at Agent’s discretion, up to ten (10) days prior thereto.

(b) The parties acknowledge that, due to Payment Commitments with Vehicle manufacturers and distributors, New Vehicle Floorplan Dealerships may be required to purchase New Vehicles which may cause the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Swing Line Commitment. The Swing Line Lender may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, make a New Vehicle Swing Line Loan to fund the amount due under any Payment Commitment even if such New Vehicle Swing Line Loan would cause the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans to exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans to exceed the New Vehicle Swing Line Commitment. The New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers shall pay the amount of such excess to Agent upon demand as set forth in Section 2.3.4.

2.3 Terms Applicable to New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans.

2.3.1New Vehicle Loan Limits.

(a) The aggregate outstanding principal balance of New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment.

2.3.2Changes to New Vehicle Floorplan Limits and New Vehicle Floorplan Dealerships.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Related Principal Portion for unsold New Vehicles representing up to 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Loans may remain unpaid following the Required Repayment Date; provided that the Related Principal Portion for each unsold New Vehicle must be repaid no later than the third New Vehicle Monthly Payment Date following the Required Repayment Date for such New Vehicle.

(ii) The New Vehicle ceases to meet the criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible New Vehicle” in this Agreement.

(iii) Agent reasonably determines that the fair market value of a New Vehicle has significantly declined, regardless of the reason.

The New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers are and shall be and remain unconditionally jointly and severally liable to the Lenders for, and the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to Agent for the account of the Lenders the amount of all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations hereunder, including without limitation New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans in excess of the Swing Line Commitment and/or the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (whether funded pursuant to Payment Commitments or otherwise) and New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans made after the Termination Date. The New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers shall pay to Agent: (a) upon demand, or if earlier immediately upon becoming aware of the overadvance, the amount of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans in excess of any limitation contained in this Agreement; and (b) upon demand, the amount of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans made after the Termination Date; together with interest on the principal amount of such New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans, as set forth herein.

Such funds shall be held in anon-interest bearing deposit account (“Payment Commitment Collateral Account”) as additional Collateral for the indebtedness of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers to the Lenders. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in such funds and such account to secure all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations.

2.4 New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers.

Without limiting the foregoing, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each of them is jointly and severally liable for all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, even if an invoice, billing or other request for payment of some or all of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations is addressed to, or stated to be payable by one or more, but less than all of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower jointly and severally promises to pay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders (including Swing Line Lender), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, the principal amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans, plus interest thereon, plus all other New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable and responsible for all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations and payment and performance of all terms, conditions, obligations and agreements applicable to a New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

2.4.3Appointment of Company.Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company to act on its behalf in its capacity as a New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower authorizes the Company, on its behalf, to give and receive notices, to request New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans, to execute and deliver all documents, instruments, agreements, reports, and certificates required hereunder (including without limitation Borrower Joinder Agreements and Existing Subsidiary Joinder Agreements), to make any election

or decision which is required of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, and to receive and/or direct the receipt of the proceeds of any New Vehicle Floorplan Loans or New Vehicle Swing Line Loans. Any acknowledgement, consent, direction, certification, agreement or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, or by any one or more of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower also joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgment, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company as a New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Company and each other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower other than the Company agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Company shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower.

(b) The Agent may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security the Agent or any Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for the Agent to marshal assets in favor of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding against any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower expressly waives any right to require the Agent to marshal assets in favor of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any Collateral provided by any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, and agrees that the Agent may proceed against New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers and/or the Collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Agent and the Lenders may file a separate action or actions against any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower agrees that the Agent, the Lenders and each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and Affiliate of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the liability of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower shall at all times remain liable for the full amount of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations even though the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, or any one or more of them or any other Person and whether or not any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person with respect to the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, (iii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations), (iv) any failure of the Agent to marshal assets in favor of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or in the other Loan Documents, any failure of the Agent to give notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral to any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of Collateral, (vi) any act or omission of Agent or any Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person or the New Vehicle Floorplan

Obligations or any security or guaranty therefor by operation of Applicable Law or otherwise, (vii) any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (viii) any failure of Agent or any Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (ix) any election made by Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (x) any extension of credit or the grant of any security interest under any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any use of cash collateral under the United States Bankruptcy Code, (xii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (xiii) the avoidance of any security in favor of the Agent or the Lenders for any reason, (xiv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person,including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding, (xv) to the extent permitted, the benefits of any form ofone-action rule under any Applicable Law, or (xvi) any action taken by the Agent or any Lender that is authorized by this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy that Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter may have against any other Person and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any Collateral now or hereafter held by the Agent or any Lender. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations has destroyed such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal.

2.4.5Condition of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers.Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower has established adequate means of obtaining from the other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers and their properties, and each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers and their properties. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Agent and the Lenders (should any such duty exist) to disclose to such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or its properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Agent or any Lender during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations, the Agent and the Lenders need not inquire into the powers of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or the officers or employees acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower shall be liable for all New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers.

2.4.6Liens on Real Property.In the event that all or any part of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations at any time are secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting Liens on any interests in real property, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower authorizes the Agent, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at its sole option, without notice or demand and without affecting any New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations of any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, the enforceability of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of any security interests of the Agent on any Collateral, to foreclose any or all of such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments by judicial or nonjudicial sale. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower expressly waives any defenses to the enforcement of any security interests created by any Collateral Documents or to the recovery by Agent or any Lender against any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any guarantor or any other Person liable therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale, even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and may preclude such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower from obtaining reimbursement or contribution from any other Person. Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property or interest therein which is owned by another New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any other Person and is subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower’s failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower’s obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.4.7Waiver of Rights of Subrogation.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower is a party, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby waives with respect to each other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and its successors and assigns (including any surety), any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to indemnity, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker which any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower may have or hereafter acquire against any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower in connection with or as a result of such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers’ execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower is a party, in each case, until the full and final payment of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement. Until the full and final payment of the New Vehicle Floorplan Obligations and the termination of the Commitments under this Agreement, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or its successors and assigns (including any surety) which is directly or indirectly a creditor of any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or any surety for any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower by any other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower (as a borrower or in any other capacity). Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit the Agent and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect its liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

2.4.8Waiver of Discharge.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower hereby waives discharge based upon all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

2.4.9Understandings with Respect to Waivers and Consents.Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein are made after consultation with legal counsel and with full knowledge of their significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers otherwise may have against the other New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, the Agent, any Lender, or against Collateral, and that, under the circumstances, the waivers and consents herein given are reasonable. If any of the waivers or consents herein is determined to be contrary to any Applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

2.4.10Mutual Benefit.Each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower agrees that the credit accommodations to be extended by the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are of benefit to each of them, that each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower is a direct and indirect beneficiary of the value given thereunder, and each extension of credit under this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents will be of substantial benefit to each New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower.

2.5Addition of New Vehicle Floorplan Dealerships. (a) As of the Closing Date, the New Vehicle Floorplan Dealerships shall be the Dealerships signing this Agreement, which shall be all Dealerships existing as of the date of this Agreement (except for Silo Subsidiaries and any Dealership which does not require financing for its New Vehicles). Thereafter, if any new Dealership (other than a Canadian Dealership) is established or any existing Dealership (other than a Canadian Dealership) requires financing for its New Vehicles, the Company shall deliver to Agent a written notice specifying the name of the additional New Vehicle Floorplan Dealership, the proposed Dealership Loan Limit for such Dealership, the applicable manufacturers to be financed for such Dealership and any other information requested by Agent. Upon approval by Agent, establishment of a Dealership Loan Limit and, if applicable, Dealership Loan Sublimit(s), and satisfaction of the requirements in Section 9.3, such Dealership shall become a New Vehicle Floorplan Dealership and entitled to finance Eligible New Vehicles hereunder. For purposes of clarification, no Dealership (other than a Canadian Dealership or a Dealership that is financing its New Vehicles with the proceeds of Indebtedness permitted under Section 13.10(o)) shall incur any indebtedness to finance New Vehicles, except for New Vehicle Floorplan Loans under this Agreement, without the consent of the Agent and the Lenders.

(b) If any new Canadian Dealership is established or any existing Canadian Dealership requires financing for its New Vehicles, the Company may deliver to Agent a written notice specifying the name of the additional New Vehicle Floorplan Dealership, the proposed Dealership Loan Limit for such Dealership, the applicable manufacturers to be financed for such Dealership and any other information requested by Agent.

A PR Account is not a deposit account, and PR Account Borrowers shall have no right or interest in any balance in such account, except as expressly provided in this Section 2.6.

(d) The aggregate of the balances in all PR Accounts may not at any time exceed $50,000,000.00. If the aggregate amount in the PR Accounts exceeds such amount, Swing Line Lender is authorized to make one or more PR Account Advances in the amount of any such excess and deposit such amount in any deposit account of a PR Account Borrower with Swing Line Lender.

2.6.2PR Account Advances. The New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers mayre-borrow any balance in a PR Account as a New Vehicle Swing Line Loan (a “PR Account Advance”) at any time during the term of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6.3 and 2.6.6 of this Section 2.6 and further subject to the following conditions:

(a) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement.

(b) PR Account Advances must be in amounts of at least $1,000,000.00, except the Company (on behalf of a PR Account Borrower) may request a PR Account Advance in the amount of the remaining balance in a PR Account if the remaining balance is less than $1,000,000.00;provided,however, that PR Account Advances made by Swing Line Lender pursuant to subsections 2.6.1 and 2.6.7 of this Section 2.6 shall not be so limited.

2.6.3Requests for PR Account Payments and Advances. Whenever a PR Account Borrower wishes to make a PR Account Payment or obtain a PR Account Advance, the Company shall give Agent irrevocable notice thereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least one Business Day prior to the date of the requested PR Account Payment or PR Account Advance. Such notice shall specify the amount of, and requested date of, the requested PR Account Payment or PR Account Advance and include any other information requested by Swing Line Lender.

2.6.4Limitation on Transactions in PR Account. The total number of payments to and advances from a PR Account shall not exceed 6 transactions per calendar month in the aggregate.

2.6.5Application of PR Account Balance. The balance in any PR Account shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans for New Vehicles owned by the applicable PR Account Borrower for the purpose of computation of interest only, and shall in no way limit or modify the principal payment requirements set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 2.6, except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.1.7 with respect to the New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee payable to Swing Line Lender, the balance in a PR Account may not be used to reduce any principal amount outstanding for purposes of determining any remaining availability under the lines of credit established by Sections 2.1 or 2.2 of this Agreement or any of the other limitations stated in this Agreement.

2.6.6Record of PR Account. All payments into a PR Account and all PR Account Advances shall be recorded on Swing Line Lender’s books.

2.6.7Termination of PR Accounts. Swing Line Lender and the Company on behalf of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, may mutually agree to terminate this Section 2.6 at such time as is agreed upon between them. In addition, Swing Line Lender may terminate this Section 2.6: (a) without prior notice upon the occurrence (or at any time during the continuation) of an Event of Default or (b) upon 30 days’ notice to the Company if the reason for the termination is that the Swing Line Lender has decided not to offer PR Accounts to its customers generally or that Swing Line Lender is prohibited or restricted by law or regulation from offering PR Accounts.Provided that no Event of Default exists, upon termination of this Section 2.6, Swing Line Lender shall make a PR Account Advance in an amount equal to the balance in each PR Account and deposit such amount in a deposit account of the applicable New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower with Swing Line Lender. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then upon termination of this Section 2.6, PR Account Borrowers shall have no further right to receive any PR Account Advances and Agent may apply the balance in any PR Account to the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(iii) If the Agent makes a request for funding under this Section 3.2.7(a) by 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on any Business Day, the Lenders will deliver the required amount to Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day after such request.

Agent agrees not to request any funding of the Lender’s participations in the Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans under this Section 3.2.6(b) at any time that such participations may be legally repaid using advances of Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans under Section 3.2.6(a).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders shall not be required to repay Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 3.2.6(a) or to fund their participation interests in Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 3.2.6(b) with respect to any portions of the outstanding principal balance of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans that are funded by Swing Line Lender after Agent is deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or after the Termination Date.

In the event of any express conflict between the terms of this Agreement and of the applicable LC Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

5.4Expiry Date.No Letter of Credit shall be issued later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than the earlier of (a) two years after the issuance date (or date of extension or renewal, if applicable); or (b) the Termination Date. Drafts drawn under a Letter of Credit may be sight drafts or time drafts;provided, however, that no draft shall have a maturity date later than the Termination Date. If there are any Letters of Credit outstanding on the Termination Date, Agent may require the Revolving Loan Borrower to deliver to Agent funds in an amount equal to the LC Obligations. The Revolving Loan Borrower immediately shall deliver to Agent all such funds required by Agent and Agent shall hold such funds in the LC Collateral Account as collateral for the Obligations and Permitted Swap Obligations.

5.5Requests for Letters of Credit.Each LC Application or request for a Modification shall be submitted to the LC Issuer, with a copy to the Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification (unless the LC Issuer, in any instance, in its sole discretion, agrees to a shorter time period). The Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer whether such LC Application, and the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant thereto, conform to the requirements of this Agreement. Upon issuance or Modification of a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, of the amount and terms thereof. The LC Issuer shall have no independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article 9 have been satisfied;provided, however, that the LC Issuer shall not issue a Letter of Credit if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, the LC Issuer has received notice from Agent or Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any LC Application or LC Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

5.6Participation in Letters of Credit.Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement (or on the Closing Date with respect to Existing Letters of Credit), each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased apro rataparticipation in such Letter of Credit and the related LC Obligations from the LC Issuer in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the related LC Obligations. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the LC Issuer is not reimbursed by the Revolving Loan Borrower (and funds are not available in the LC Collateral Account) for any payment made by the LC Issuer under any Existing Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms hereof, or if any reimbursement received by LC Issuer is rescinded or must be returned, each Lender shall reimburse Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such reimbursement amount as set forth below. To obtain funding by the Lenders of any reimbursement amount, Agent shall request, before 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on a Business Day, each Lender (including the LC Issuer in its capacity as a Lender) to fund an amount equal to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the reimbursement amount. The Lenders shall fund to Agent the amounts so requested no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Business Day after the date that such request is delivered to the Lenders and all amounts so funded shall be paid by the Agent to the LC Issuer in satisfaction of each Lender’s participation obligations. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse Agent, on behalf of the LC Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the termination of the availability of Letters of Credit, the fact that any one or more of the conditions in Article 9 is not satisfied, the fact that reimbursement is requested after the Termination Date, any defense, setoff, counterclaim or claim for recoupment against Agent or LC Issuer, or any other circumstance, whether or not similar to the foregoing. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Revolving Loan Borrower to reimburse the LC Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

5.7Payments.The Revolving Loan Borrower agrees to pay to the LC Issuer, on the date any payment is made by the LC Issuer, an amount equal to any payment made by the LC Issuer with respect to each Letter of Credit, together with interest on such amount from the date of any payment made by the LC Issuer at the Revolving Loan Borrowing Rate for the first three days and thereafter at the Default Rate applicable to Revolving Loans. The principal amount of any such payment shall be used to reimburse the LC Issuer for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit and, to the extent that the Lenders have not reimbursed the Agent pursuant to Section 5.6, the interest amount of any such payment shall be solely for the account of the LC Issuer. Each Lender that has reimbursed the Agent pursuant to Section 5.6 for its Pro Rata Share of any payment made by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit shall thereupon acquire apro rataparticipation, to the extent of such reimbursement, in the claim of the LC Issuer against the Revolving Loan Borrower for reimbursement of principal and interest under this Section 5.7 and shall share, in accordance with thatpro rataparticipation, in any principal payment made by the Revolving Loan Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by the Revolving Loan Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender reimbursed the Agent) with respect to such claim. The LC Issuer shall promptly make available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, any amounts due to the Lenders under this Section 5.7. The LC Issuer shall notify the Revolving Loan Borrower and Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.

5.8Terms Satisfactory to LC Issuer.Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, any LC Agreement, LC Application, or any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit must be acceptable to LC Issuer in its sole discretion and each Letter of Credit must conform to all requirements of the LC Issuer.

5.9Obligations Absolute.The obligation of the Revolving Loan Borrower to pay to the LC Issuer the amount of any payment made by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Revolving Loan Borrower’s obligation shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances, except in the event of LC Issuer’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which any Loan Party may have at any time against the LC Issuer, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions;

(c) any draft, demand, statement, or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(d) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

(e) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any property;

(f) any error, omission, interruption, delay, or loss in the transmission or delivery of any draft, message, notice, advice, or other communication relating to a Letter of Credit or any delay or interruption in any such message;

(g) any error, neglect or default of any correspondent of the LC Issuer in connection with a Letter of Credit;

(h) any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from circumstances beyond the control of the LC Issuer;

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Obligations of the Revolving Loan Borrower.

5.10 Letter of Credit Fees.

5.10.1 The Revolving Loan Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, on the date any Letter of Credit is issued, renewed or extended, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the LC Fee Percentagetimes the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (“LC Fee”). The LC Fee on Letters of Credit shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first (1st) day of each April, July, October and January, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit expiration date and thereafter on demand;provided,further, that if any payment to be made by the Borrower under thisSection 5.10.1 shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day. All fees paid under this Section 5.10.1 arenon-refundable, even if the Letter of Credit for which they are paid is terminated or amended before its anticipated expiration or extended expiration date.

5.10.2 The Revolving Loan Borrower agrees to pay to LC Issuer, for its sole account on demand, (a) the fees agreed to between them as set forth in any fee letter or as otherwise agreed from time to time, and (b) with respect to each Letter of Credit and each draft drawn thereunder, LC Issuer’s customary fees and charges, including processing, drawing, transfer, amendment, negotiation, acceptance, and other fees and allout-of-pocket expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in accordance with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Letter of Credit.

5.11LC Collateral Account.The Revolving Loan Borrower will, upon the request of Agent or Required Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Letter of Credit and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Letter of Credit, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent (the “LC Collateral Account”), in the name of the Revolving Loan Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which the Revolving Loan Borrower shall have no interest. The Revolving Loan Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Revolving Loan Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations and Permitted Swap Obligations. The Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of Agent having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section shall either obligate the Agent to require the Revolving Loan Borrower to deposit any funds in the LC Collateral Account or limit the right of the Agent to release any funds held in the LC Collateral Account.

5.12Borrower Indemnification.The Revolving Loan Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent, and their respective parent corporations, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and advisors (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, demands, damages, actions, causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs), defenses, counterclaims, setoffs and claims for recoupment (collectively, “Claims”) which such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including, without

limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (a) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Revolving Loan Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (b) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary;provided thatthe Revolving Loan Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent for any Claim to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (y) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (z) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 5.12 is intended to limit the obligations of the Revolving Loan Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.4, this Section 5.12 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from anynon-Tax claim.

5.13Lenders’ Indemnification.Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Revolving Loan Borrower) against any Claims (except such as result from the LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Article 5 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

ARTICLE 6

CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Interest.

6.1.1Interest Rate.Unless the Default Rate or the rate set forth in Section 7.3 is applicable, (a) New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate, (b) Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate; (c) Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Service Loaner Vehicle Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate and (d) Revolving Loans and Revolving Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the Revolving Loan Borrowing Rate, in each case adjusted without notice on the date of each change in the Eurocurrency Rate.

6.1.2Rates Applicable After Event of Default.During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Company, declare that (a) the Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate which would otherwise be in effect from time to time pursuant to Section 6.1.1, plus 2% per annum (each, a “Default Rate”), and (b) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2% per annum,provided that, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 14.1.8, the interest rate set forth in clause (a) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (b) above shall automatically be applicable to all Loans, Letters of Credit, and Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender. After an Event of Default has been cured or waived, the interest rate applicable to the Loans and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

6.1.3Determination of Rate.Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it elects; it being understood, however, that with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained such Loans through the purchase of deposits in the London interbank eurodollar market.

6.2Evidence of Debt.The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower and Revolving Loan Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

6.3 Borrowing Procedure.

6.3.1Requests for Loans.Whenever the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower or the Revolving Loan Borrower, as applicable, wishes to request a Loan, the Company shall give Agent irrevocable notice thereof within the time required by this Agreement. The Company (on behalf of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers) may request a Loan in writing or by telephone (or with respect to Used Vehicle Sweep Advances, as set forth in Section 3.2.7 and Service Loaner Vehicle Sweep Advances, as set forth in Section 3.4.7) for deposit into the Company’s deposit account(s) with Agent. Requests for Loans to be deposited or forwarded elsewhere shall be in writing in such form and containing such additional information as Agent may reasonably require in order to confirm the request and transmit funds. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lenders and Agent to make Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person which Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Company, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow requests for Advances to be given telephonically. The Company agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation (which may includee-mail) of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

6.3.2Lending Installations.Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans and the LC Issuer may book the Letters of Credit at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Letters of Credit, and participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Agent and the Company, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Letters of Credit will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Letters of Credit are to be made.

6.4Obligations Several.The failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on any date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

6.5Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent.Unless the Company (on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers) or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies Agent prior to the date on which Lender or a Borrower or Borrowers is scheduled to make payment to Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or participation or (b) in the case of a Borrower or Borrowers, a payment of principal, interest or fees to Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by Agent, repay to Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (y) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (z) in the case of payment by a Borrower or Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or Reimbursement Obligations.

6.6Authorization.Any Loan made to any one or more of the Borrowers shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of such Borrower or Borrowers when the proceeds of such Loan (a) are deposited to the credit of a Borrower in an account of a Borrower with Agent, or (b) are transmitted to any other bank with directions to credit the same to the account of any Borrower at such bank, regardless of whether Persons other than those authorized to make requests for Loans have authority to draw against any such account. Each Borrower acknowledges that Agent cannot effectively determine whether a particular request for a Loan is valid, authorized, or authentic. Therefore, each Borrower assumes all risk of the validity, authenticity, and authorization of such requests, whether or not the individual making such requests has authority to request Loans. Agent shall be entitled to act on the instructions of anyone identifying himself or herself as authorized to request Loans and each Borrower shall be bound thereby in the same manner as if the Person were actually so authorized. Agent is authorized to credit any account of (w) any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower with Agent (or any account any New Vehicle Floorplan Borrower designates in writing) for Loans made to the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, (x) the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrower with Agent (or any account the Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrower designates in writing) for loans made to the Used Vehicle

Floorplan Borrower, (y) the Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower with Agent (or any account the Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower designates in writing) for loans made to the Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, and (z) the Revolving Loan Borrower with Agent (or any account the Revolving Loan Borrower designates in writing) for loans made to the Revolving Loan Borrower. A Borrower’s failure to confirm any telephonic request or otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to repay such Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.Each Borrower agrees not to hold Agent or the Lenders liable for any errors or misunderstanding in complying with any written or oral directions for Loans; and each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and the Lenders and the other Indemnified Persons harmless from any and all Claims which may arise or be created by the acceptance of instructions (telephonic or otherwise) for making Loans by wire transfer or otherwise, or for application of payments, other than as a result of Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.7Interest and Fee Basis.All interest rates and fees referred to herein shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (Pacific Time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest on such payment.

6.8Method of Payment.All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to Agent at Agent’s address specified for notice herein, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by Agent to the Company, by noon (Pacific Time) on the date when due and shall (except (a) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (b) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or (c) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified for notice herein, or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. Each reference to the Agent in this Section shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Revolving Loan Borrower to the LC Issuer.

6.9Payment by Automatic Debit.Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to automatically deduct the amount of all principal and interest payments, Reimbursement Obligations and fees from one or more deposit accounts of the Company with Agent specified in a writing provided by the Company to Agent. Each Borrower will pay all the fees on the account which result from the automatic deductions, including any overdraft andnon-sufficient funds charges. If for any reason Agent does not charge the account for a payment, or if an automatic payment is reversed, the payment is still due. The Company may change any account number by notifying Agent of the new account number.

6.10Late Charges.Subject to any limitations imposed by Applicable Law, if any payment of principal or interest on the Loans, the LC Obligations, or other Obligations is fifteen (15) days or more past due, the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowers, Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrower, or the Revolving Loan Borrower, as applicable, shall pay to Agent on demand, for the account of the Lenders, a late charge of five percent of the delinquent payment. Each party hereto agrees that it would be difficult or costly to determine the actual costs incurred by any Lender by reason of late payment. Therefore, the parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs incurred by each Lender and is reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof. Collection of the late payment fee shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default hereunder.

6.11Limitation of Interest.Borrowers, Agent and Lenders intend to strictly comply with all Applicable Laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under Applicable Law,provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) anynon-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall any Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (y) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the Applicable Laws (if any) of the United States or of any applicable state, or (z) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration,

prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited against the then-outstanding principal balance of the obligations of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

6.12 Increase Option.

6.12.1 The Company may from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, in minimum increments of $50,000,000.00 or such lower amount as is agreed to between the Company and Agent, so long as, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate amount of all such increases requested after the Closing Date does not exceed $400,000,000.00, and (b) the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $3,200,000,000.00.

6.12.2 The Company may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Additional Lender”), which Lender or Lenders shall increase their existing Commitments, or extend Commitments, as the case may be;provided that(a) each Additional Lender and each Increasing Lender and the amount of the increase of each Additional Lender and Increasing Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, the Agent and the LC Issuer, (b) (i) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Agent, Borrowers and such Increasing Lender shall execute an Increasing Lender Agreement substantially in the form ofExhibit Nhereto, and (ii) in the case of an Additional Lender, the Agent, Borrowers and such Additional Lender shall execute an Additional Lender Agreement substantially in the form ofExhibit Mhereto, and (c) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers, Increasing Lender, Additional Lender and any other Loan Party shall each deliver to Agent such other documents or amendments to existing Loan Documents as Agent reasonably deems necessary.

6.12.3 No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be required for any increase pursuant to this Section 6.12. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Company, the Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders, and the Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective unless (a) on the proposed effective date of such increase, (i) no Default has occurred and is continuing or will exist after giving effect to the increase and any Credit Extensions to be made on the effective date, (ii) all representations and warranties in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the effective date, (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries will be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Agent) with the financial covenants in Section 11.1 after giving effect to the increase, and (iv) Agent has received a certificate with respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(i) (ii) and (iii) dated the effective date and executed by the Company’s chief financial officer or other officer acceptable to Agent, together with such supporting documentation as Agent requires; and (b) the Agent has received such documents as it requires to evidence the power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow and the Guarantors to guaranty hereunder after giving effect to such increase.

6.12.4 On the effective date of any increase in the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, (a) each relevant Increasing Lender and Additional Lender shall make available to the Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Loans of all the Lenders to equal its applicable Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Loans, and (b) the Borrowers shall make such other payments and adjustments as Agent reasonably deems necessary in connection with the changes in the Commitments and Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders.

6.13Authorization.Each Borrower authorizes Agent and the Lenders (a) to furnish information about the Loans to each manufacturer or distributor of Vehicles, and (b) to advise each such manufacturer or distributor of any change or termination which may occur with respect to the Obligations.

6.14 Defaulting Lenders.

6.14.1Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(c)Certain Fees.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Revolving Loan Commitment Fee or Per Annum Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its ratable share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 6.14.4.

(iii) With respect to any New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Commitment Fee, Revolving Loan Commitment Fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (ii) above, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall (X) pay to eachNon-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to suchNon-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (Y) pay to the LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (Z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d)Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among theNon-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s interest as provided in the definition of Pro Rata Share) but only to the extent that (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, each Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (ii) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure, Outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Exposure or Outstanding Revolving Loan Exposure of anyNon-Defaulting Lender to exceed suchNon-Defaulting Lender’s applicable Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of aNon-Defaulting Lender as a result of suchNon-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (i) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (ii) second, Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.14.4.

6.14.2Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be heldpro rataby the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 6.14.1(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;provided thatno adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; andprovided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

6.14.3New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (a) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (b) the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

6.14.4Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Agent or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) the Revolving Loan Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 6.14.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(a)Grant of Security Interest. The Revolving Loan Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Revolving Loan Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b)Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 6.14 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(c)Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.14.4 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral;provided that, subject to this Section 6.14 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations andprovided further, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

6.15Replacement of Lender.If Borrowers are required pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.4 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make Advances based on the Eurocurrency Base Rate is suspended pursuant to Section 7.3 or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make a Loan, reimburse the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 5.6 or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.6, 3.2.6, or 4.2.6 or otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Company may elect, if such amounts continue to be charged or such suspension is still effective, to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement,provided thatno Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, andprovided furtherthat, concurrently with such replacement, (a) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash and to pay the Affected Lender on such date 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 17.4 applicable to assignments, and (b) the Borrowers shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4.

6.16Per Annum Fee.The Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender, a fee (“Per Annum Fee”), calculated for each Lender at a per annum rate equal to the rate set forth in the fee letter between such Lender and Borrowers, on the Aggregate Lender Commitment of such Lender as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Per Annum Fee shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date hereafter and on the Termination Date for the three month period or other time period ending on the last day of the preceding fiscal quarter or on the Termination Date.

6.17 Reallocation of Commitments.

6.17.1 Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.17 and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will exist after giving effect thereto, Borrowers may from time to time request a reallocation of all or part of any unused portion of (a) the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment to the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, (b) the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment to the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment or (c) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment to the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (each a “Reallocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, Borrowers may not request a reallocation of all or part of any unused portion of the Aggregate Service Vehicle Floorplan Commitment to the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment or the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

6.17.2 Borrowers may request a Reallocation no more frequently than once in any calendar month. If Borrowers wish to request a Reallocation, the Company shall give the Agent irrevocable written notice thereof substantially in the form attached hereto asExhibit O, or in such other form as is acceptable to Agent (a “Reallocation Request”) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) at least two Business Days prior to the requested effective date of the Reallocation. Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date of any Reallocation, and the amount of the new Commitments for each Lender.

6.17.3 Following any Reallocation, (a) the Aggregate Commitment shall not change; (b) the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment shall not be less than the then outstanding principal balance of the New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and the New Vehicle Swing Line Loans (which, for purposes of this determination, shall not be deemed to be reduced by amounts in the PR Accounts); (c) the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment (i) shall not be more than 16.5% of the amount of the Aggregate Commitment at the time of such Reallocation and (ii) shall not be less than the then outstanding principal balance of the Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans and the Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans; and (d) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (i) shall not be more than 18.75% of the amount of the Aggregate Commitment at the time of such Reallocation and (ii) shall not be less than the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Revolving Swing Line Loans plus the LC Obligations and any Reserve Amount.

6.17.4 All Reallocations shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and/or Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, so that after giving effect to any Reallocation, there is no change in the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders.

6.17.5 In connection with a Reallocation (a) the New Vehicle Swing Line Commitment, Used Vehicle Swing Line Commitment, Revolving Swing Line Commitment and LC Commitment shall not be increased, (b) the New Vehicle Swing Line Commitment shall not be reduced, (c) the Used Vehicle Swing Line Commitment shall not be reduced unless the Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment is reduced to less than the amount of the Used Vehicle Swing Line Commitment, and (d) the Revolving Swing Line Commitment and the Letter of Credit Commitment shall not be reduced unless the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment is reduced to less than the amount of the Revolving Swing Line Commitment and Letter of Credit Commitment.

6.17.6 Following any Reallocation, the Aggregate New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, Aggregate Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and the Pro Rata Shares and New Vehicle Floorplan Commitment, Used Vehicle Floorplan Commitment and Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender shall be noted in the Agent’s records, which records will be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure by the Agent to record such information shall not affect or limit the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

6.18 Extension of Commitments.

6.18.1Requests for Extension. The Company may, no more than one time per Loan Year, by notice to Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than sixty (60) days and not later than thirty-five (35) days prior to the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Termination Date for an additional Loan Year from the existing Termination Date.

6.18.2Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is thirty (30) days prior to the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, advise Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be aNon-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. Furthermore, the election of anyNon-Extending Lender not to extend initially shall not prohibit such Lender from extending for an additional Loan Year at subsequent request of the Company, so long as (i) the Company has not prepaid all Loans outstanding of suchNon-Extending Lender by such date and (ii) such Lender’s Termination Date shall be accelerated to the Termination Date of all other Extending Lenders at such time. Once a Lender extends its Termination Date in accordance with this Section it shall no longer be deemed aNon-Extending Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.18.3Notification by Agent. Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date fifteen (15) days prior to the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

6.18.4Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right to replace eachNon-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 6.15; provided that each of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

6.18.5Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Termination Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 80% of the Aggregate Commitment in effect immediately prior to the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, then, effective as of the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.18.6Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Company shall deliver to Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year (in sufficient copies for each Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article X and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Anniversary Date in such Loan Year, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 6.18, the representations and warranties contained in Section 10.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 11.1, and (B) no Default exists or would result therefrom. In addition, on the Termination Date of eachNon-Extending Lender, the Company shall prepay any Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.5) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable of the respective Lenders effective as of such date.

6.18.7Amendment; Sharing of Payments. In connection with any extension of the Termination Date, the Company, and each Extending Lender may make such amendments to this Agreement as Agent determines to be reasonably necessary to evidence the extension. This Section 6.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 17.9 to the contrary.

ARTICLE 7

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

7.1Yield Protection.If, after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any adoption of or change in any law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”) which:

(a) subjects any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation, the LC Issuer, or the Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Loans bearing interest based on the Eurocurrency Base Rate (“Eurocurrency Loan”)), or

(c) imposes any other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit, or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or the LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit, or participations therein held or interest or fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or the LC Issuer as the case may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or of issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce the return received by such Lender or the LC Issuer in connection with such Loans or Commitment, Letters of Credit or participations therein, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation;provided

that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount to compensate any Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 for any such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

7.2Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations.If a Lender or the LC Issuer determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or the LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or the LC Issuer is increased as a result of (a) a Change in Law or (b) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Lender or the LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), in each case that is attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender or LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation;provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount to compensate any Lender or LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2 for any shortfall in the rate of return suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such shortfall and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such shortfall is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

7.3 Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate.

7.3.1 If (a) the Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Loans are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or (b) the Agent, in consultation with the Lenders, determines that the Eurocurrency Base Rate is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the New Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate, Used Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate, Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Borrowing Rate, and Revolving Loan Borrowing Rate, the loans shall thereafter bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Alternate Base Rate Margin (New Vehicle) for New Vehicle Floorplan Loans and New Vehicle Swing Line Loans, the Alternate Base Rate Margin (Used Vehicle) for Used Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Used Vehicle Swing Line Loans, the Alternate Base Rate Margin (Service Loaner Vehicle) for Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Loans and Service Loaner Vehicle Swing Line Loans, and the Alternate Base Rate Margin (Revolving) for Revolving Loans and Revolving Swing Line Loans.

7.3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 7.3.1(b) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) Thomson Reuters (or any Person that takes over the administration of such rate) discontinues its administration and publication of interest settlement rate for Dollar LIBOR for one month appearing on the applicable Reuters Screen, or (iii) the supervisor for the administrator of the interest settlement rate described in clause (ii) of this Section 7.3.2 or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which such interest settlement rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent, that will continue to provide Eurocurrency Base Rate after such specific date, then reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace Eurocurrency Base Rate with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “Eurocurrency Successor Rate”) and any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace Eurocurrency Base Rate with a rate described in clause (x) above, object to the Adjustment, or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace Eurocurrency Base Rate with a rate described in clause (y) above, object to such amendment; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such Eurocurrency Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Eurocurrency Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent. In connection with the implementation of a Eurocurrency Successor Rate, the Agent will have the right to make Eurocurrency Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Eurocurrency Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 17.9, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace Eurocurrency Base Rate with a rate described in clause (x) above, object to the Adjustment, or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace Eurocurrency Base Rate with a rate described in clause (y) above, object to such amendment. If the alternate rate of interest determined pursuant to this Section 7.3.2 shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

7.4 Taxes.

7.4.1 Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.4) the applicable Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made as provided in this Section 7.4.

7.4.2 The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

7.4.3 The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.4) payable or paid by such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

7.4.4 Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 17.3.3 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 7.4.4.

7.4.5 As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 7.4, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified 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 Agent.

7.4.6 (a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as will enable the Company or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 7.4.6(b)(i), (b)(ii), and (b)(iv)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(i) any Lender that is a United States person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Company and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of IRS FormW-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(ii) anyNon-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which suchNon-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of aNon-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;

(B) executed copies of IRS FormW-8ECI;

(C) in the case of aNon-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate to the effect that suchNon-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (2) executed copies of IRS FormW-8BEN or IRS FormW-8BEN-E; or

(D) to the extent aNon-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS FormW-8IMY, accompanied by IRS FormW-8ECI, IRS FormW-8BEN, IRS FormW-8BEN-E, IRS FormW-8IMY or IRS FormW-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

(iii) anyNon-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which suchNon-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Company or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

7.4.7 If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 7.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of allout-of-

pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable netafter-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

7.4.8 Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

7.4.9 For purposes of Sections 7.4.4 and 7.4.6, the term “Lender” includes the LC Issuer.

7.4.10 For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Company, the other Borrowers and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize Agent to treat) the Loans and the LC Obligations as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury RegulationSection 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

7.5Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.4 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Loans under Section 7.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Company of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement by a Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents, (b) for any other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any dispute between Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against Agent in connection with any dispute between Agent and any

139

Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents,provided that(y) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a finalnon-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent and (z) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 7.4.4 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive payment of the Obligations and Permitted Swap Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

16.9Notice of Event of Default.Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent, unless (i) Agent has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (ii) Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders;provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

16.10Rights as a Lender.Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitments and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with any Loan Party, or any of their Subsidiaries and Affiliates in which any Loan Party is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

16.11 Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation.

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, 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 and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent hereunder or as may be reasonably requested by a Lender from Agent, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Agent (whether or not in its capacity as Agent) or any of their Affiliates.

140

(b) Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all Applicable Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to Agent represents only Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

16.12Successor Agent.Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Unless a Default exists, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Agent may at any time without the consent of any Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If Agent has resigned and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of Agent hereunder and each Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $3,000,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an Agent, the provisions of this Article 16 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to Agent by merger, or Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent.

16.13Agent’s Fees.Each Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for its account, the fees agreed to by such Borrower and Agent pursuant to any fee letter between them, or as otherwise agreed from time to time.

16.14Delegation to Affiliates.Each Borrower and the Lenders agree that Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be (i) entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which Agent is entitled under this Agreement; and (ii) subject to the same obligations of Agent hereunder.

141

16.15Execution of Collateral Documents.The Lenders hereby empower and authorize Agent to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and all related agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Collateral Documents.

16.16Collateral Releases.The Lenders hereby empower and authorize Agent to execute and deliver on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any releases of Collateral which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or any other Loan Document or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders) in writing. If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of by any Loan Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents, then Agent, at the request and sole expense of the applicable Loan Party, shall execute and deliver to such Loan Party all releases and other documents reasonably necessary or advisable for the release of the Liens created under the Loan Documents on such Collateral, provided that the applicable Loan Party shall provide to the Agent evidence of such transaction’s compliance with the Loan Documents as Agent shall reasonably request.

16.17No 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), each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders arearm’s-length commercial transactions between each Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each 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; (b)(i) each of the Lenders 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 any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) no Lender has any obligation to any 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 (c) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and no Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

16.18Co-Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, etc. Neither any Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent 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 such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Persons as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 16.11.

142

144

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to any costs of the matters described in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 17.1 which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The agreements in this Section 17.1 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and Permitted Swap Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.4, this Section 17.1(d) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from anynon-Tax claim.

17.2Successors and Assigns.The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 17.4, and (c) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (b) of this Section relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 17.2 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank;provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 17.4. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 17.4;provided, however, that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan to direct payments relating to such Loan to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan.

17.3 Participations.

17.3.1Permitted Participants; Effect.Any Lender may, in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, the Commitments of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

145

17.3.2Voting Rights.Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents;provided, however, that any agreement pursuant to which any Lender sells a participating interest may require the Lender to obtain Participant’s consent to any amendment, modification or waiver which would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 17.9.

17.3.3Benefit of Certain Provisions.Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 17.8 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents,provided thateach Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 17.8 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 17.8, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 17.7 as if each Participant were a Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, and 17.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 17.4,provided that(a) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, or 7.4 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior written consent of the Company, and (b) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.4 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account (i) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in treaty, law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (ii), in the case of any Participant that would be aNon-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender, such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 7.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7.4.6 shall be delivered to the participating Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);provided thatno Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents is in registered form underSection 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

146

17.4 Assignments.

17.4.1Permitted Assignments.Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Eligible Assignees or other financial institutions reasonably acceptable to Agent (each an “Assignee”) all or a ratable part of its Loans and participations in Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit and other interests under this Agreement and the Loan Documents;provided, however, that (a) unless each of the Company and Agent otherwise consents, each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or if less, the entire Aggregate Lender Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Lender; (b) after giving effect to any Assignment, the Aggregate Lender Commitment of the assigning Lender shall be at least $5,000,000.00 or shall be $0; and (c) each assignment shall be of a constant and not a varying, percentage of all of the interests of such Lender in its Outstanding Credit Exposure and all Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit. Any assignment shall be pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Agent as may be agreed to by the parties thereto.

17.4.2Consents. The consent of the Company shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,provided thatthe consent of the Company shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;provided furtherthat the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof. The consent of the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Assignee is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund. The consent of each of the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required prior to an assignment of a Commitment becoming effective unless the Assignee is a Lender with a Commitment. Any consent required under this Section 17.4.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

17.4.3Effect; Effective Date.Upon (a) delivery to the Agent of an Assignment Agreement, together with any required consents, and (b) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Assignee to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitments and Outstanding Credit Exposure under the applicable Assignment Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Assignee in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, the Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitments and Outstanding Credit Exposure assigned to the Assignee without any further consent or action by any Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent. In the case of an assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section 17.3.

147

17.4.4Tax Treatment.If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Assignee or Participant which is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.

17.5Register.The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America, a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender, and participations of each Lender in Letters of Credit, pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the 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 any Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

17.6Dissemination of Information.Each Borrower, for itself and its Subsidiaries, authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee and prospective Participant or Assignee any and all financial or other information in such Lender’s possession concerning any Loan Party, subject to the confidentiality requirements of Section 17.26 of this Agreement.

17.7Ratable Payments.If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure, Outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, and/or Outstanding Revolving Loan Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.4 or payments specifically payable only to such Lender) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure, Outstanding New Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Used Vehicle Floorplan Exposure, Outstanding Service Loaner Vehicle Floorplan Exposure and/or Outstanding Revolving Loan Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

148

17.8Setoff.Each Borrower hereby grants each Lender a security interest in all deposits, credits and deposit accounts (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) of such Borrower with such Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender (the “Deposits”). In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under Applicable Law, if any Borrower is not Solvent, or if any Event of Default occurs, each Borrower authorizes each Lender to offset and apply all such Deposits toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to such Lender or the Lenders;provided,thatin the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the LC Issuer, and the Lenders, and (b) the Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The aforesaid rights may be exercised by Agent or such Lender against any Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of any Borrower or against anyone else claiming through or against any Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of setoff shall not have been exercised by Agent or such Lender prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

17.9 Amendments and Waivers.

17.9.1 Subject to the provisions of this Section 17.9, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or Borrowers hereunder or waiving any Event of Default hereunder;provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(a) without the consent of all Lenders, extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit to a date after the Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof or any Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce the rate (except as provided in Section 7.3.2) or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or on Reimbursement Obligations or increase the amount of any Commitment of any Lender hereunder.

(d) without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend this Section 17.9, or any provision herein which requires consent or other action by all Lenders.

(e) without the consent of all of the Lenders, except as permitted by this Agreement, release any Guarantor or, except as provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, release all or a substantial part of the Collateral.

17.10Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between any Loan Party and Agent or any Lender will operate as a waiver of such right, power, remedy or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.

EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THENON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER PORTLAND, OREGON IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE OBLIGATIONS AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER PORTLAND, OREGON.

152

17.18Nonliability of Lenders.The relationship between the Borrowers on the one hand and the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Borrower. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Borrower to review or inform any Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of any Borrower’s business or operations. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have liability to any Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a finalnon-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Agent, the Arranger, the LC Issuer nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by any Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. It is agreed that the Arranger shall, in its capacity as such, have no duties or responsibilities under the Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied and will not rely on the Arranger in deciding to enter into the Agreement or any other Loan Document or in taking or not taking any action.

17.19Survival of Representations.All representations and warranties of any Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Credit Extensions herein contemplated.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

17.22Severability.Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be valid and effective under Applicable Law. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

17.23Construction.This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among, and have been reviewed by, each Loan Party, each Lender, Agent and their respective counsel (or, if any party has not had the Loan Documents reviewed by its counsel, such party has had the opportunity to do so and has voluntarily chosen not to do so). Accordingly, the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be the product of all parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any Loan Party, Agent, or any Lender.

153

154

17.27Ford Letter Agreement.Each Lender hereby agrees to the terms and conditions set forth in the letter agreement regarding Clarification of Supplemental Terms and Conditions Agreement dated April 5, 2012 and agreed to on April 10, 2012 between Ford Motor Company and the Company, a copy of which has been provided to each Lender.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER, THE AGENT, THE LC ISSUER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THE OBLIGATIONS AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER. EACH OF THEM REPRESENTS TO THE OTHER PARTIES THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY GIVEN.

17.29 Disclosure.

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of anyBail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)

a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)

a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

155

The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the existing Lenders or Agent under the Existing Loan Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Loan Agreement shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety as described herein, and all loans and other obligations of the Company and the other Borrowers outstanding as of such date under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be loans and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person, except that Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such loans, together with any extensions of credit made on the Closing Date, reflect the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder.

17.32Acknowledgement Regarding any Supported QFCs.To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in thisSection 17.31, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

156

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
