3. Lenders’ Facilities
. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the Representations and
Warranties:
|
|
3.1.
|
|
Revolving Loan Facility/Option for
Extended Terms.
|
3.1.1. Aggregate Amount . Subject to the limitations in
Section 3.1.3 and subject to each of the other terms
herein, each Lender agrees to make available to Reseller, from the
Effective Date to the Termination Date, such Lender’s
Pro-Rata Share of Revolving Loan Advances not to exceed, in the
aggregate, the Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount. Subject to
the limitations in Section 3.1.3 and elsewhere herein,
payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the Aggregate
Revolving Loan may be reborrowed through Revolving Loan Advances.
Each Lender’s Revolving Loan Facility is its Pro-Rata Share
of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility. Upon any reduction of the
Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility Limit pursuant to this Agreement,
each Lender’s Revolving Loan Facility will automatically
reduce by such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of such reduction of
the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility Limit.
3.1.2. Option for Extended Terms
. At the election of Reseller upon
providing one (1) Business Day’s notice and subject to
the limits set forth in Section 3.1.1 , Revolving Loan
Advances may be used to pay for Floorplanned Inventory on the
Payment Due Date for such Floorplanned Inventory (each such
Revolving Loan Advance may be referred to herein as an
“EXTENDED PAY OUTSTANDING”). Specifically payment for
identified Floorplanned Inventory (by Transaction Statement) cannot
be designated beyond the Extended Payment Due Date.
2
3.1.3. Limitation on Revolving Loan
Advances . No Revolving
Loan Advance will be made which would result in the Aggregate
Revolving Loans exceeding the Revolving Loan Maximum Available
Amount and no Revolving Loan Advance will be made on or after the
Termination Date. Lenders may, however, in their absolute
discretion make such Revolving Loan Advances, but shall not be
deemed by doing so to have increased the Revolving Loan Maximum
Available Amount and shall not be obligated to make any such
Revolving Loan Advances thereafter. The “REVOLVING LOAN
MAXIMUM AVAILABLE AMOUNT” (which can be a negative number) on
any date shall be a Dollar amount equal to the least of
(a) the amount by which (i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Facility Limit exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the
outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans, plus
(B) the Letter of Credit Exposure, (b) the amount by
which (i) the Total Facility Limit exceeds (ii) the sum
of (A) the Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (B) the
Interim Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (C) the
outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans, plus
(D) the Letter of Credit Exposure, and (c) the amount by
which (i) the Borrowing Base exceeds (ii) the sum of
(A) the Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (B) the
Interim Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (C) the
outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans, plus
(D) the Letter of Credit Exposure, plus (E) the
amount of the Other Creditor Indebtedness (unless a subordination
agreement satisfactory to Administrative Agents has been executed
between Administrative Agents and the holder of such Other Creditor
Indebtedness). The maximum amount of the Swingline Loans on any
date shall be Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the
“MAXIMUM SWINGLINE AMOUNT”). Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, at no time may the
Aggregate Floorplan Loans, Interim Floorplan Loans, Aggregate
Revolving Loans (including Extended Pay Outstandings), Swingline
Loans and the Letter of Credit Exposure exceed the Total Facility
Limit.
3.1.4. Revolving Notes . At the request of a Lender, the obligation of
Reseller hereunder to repay such Lender’s Revolving Loan
shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of
such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the amount of
its Revolving Loan Facility and otherwise satisfactory to
Administrative Agents.
3.1.5. Borrowing Base . The “BORROWING BASE” on any date
shall equal the sum of:
(a) 85% of the total outstanding principal
balance of all Eligible Accounts that are not Eligible Government
Accounts, as certified in the Borrowing Base Certificate most
recently furnished to Administrative Agents as required in
Section 14.15.1.1 ; plus
(b) 90% of the total outstanding principal
balance of all Eligible Government Accounts, as certified in the
Borrowing Base Certificate most recently furnished to
Administrative Agents as required in Section 14.15.1.1
; plus
(c) 100% of the cost of the Floorplanned
Inventory as certified in the Borrowing Base Certificate most
recently furnished to Administrative Agents as required in
Section 14.15.1.1 ; minus
(d) the aggregate amount of reserves
against the Borrowing Base, if any, established by Administrative
Agents pursuant to Section 3.1.7 .
3
3.1.6. Eligible Accounts . “ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS” include all of
Reseller’s Accounts other than the following, unless approved

5
(u) any Account owing from a supplier or

ineligible. The foregoing sentence is not applicable to the United
States government and agencies thereof.
3.1.7. Modifications of Eligibility
Criteria . Administrative
Agents retain the right to (a) establish Contra Reserves;
(b) from time to time, after reasonable notice to Reseller,
establish reserves against the Borrowing Base in such amounts as

Discretion deem necessary or appropriate, with respect to
(i) wages owed to Reseller’s non-exempt employees
pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended,
(ii) material changes in the levels of price adjustments,
damages, unearned discounts, returned products or other matters for
which credit memoranda are issued in the ordinary course of
Reseller’s business; (iii) material increases in
dilution related to Accounts as determined in the most recent audit
conducted by Administrative Agents (provided that, to the extent
reserves have already been established under clause (ii) above
relating to dilution, such reserves shall not be taken under this
clause (ii), and provided further that the determination of a
material increase in dilution shall be in Administrative
Agents’ sole discretion) and (iv) slow moving Inventory;
and (c) if a material adverse change in the value of the
Collateral occurs that comprises the Borrowing Base, and, to the
extent not already reflected in the computation of the Borrowing
Base, to modify any standards of eligibility set forth in the
definition of “Eligible Account” in
Section 3.1.6 .
3.2.1. Floorplan Loan Facility
Generally . Subject to
the terms herein, each Lender shall, by funding such Lender’s
Pro-Rata Share thereof as provided for herein, make available to
Reseller such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share (as listed on
Exhibit 3 ) of Floorplan Loan Advances not to exceed,
in the aggregate, the Floorplan Loan Maximum Available Amount. The
“FLOORPLAN LOAN MAXIMUM AVAILABLE AMOUNT” on any date
shall be a Dollar amount equal to the amount by which (a) the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility Limit exceeds (b) the sum of
(i) the Aggregate Revolving Loans (including the Extended Pay
Obligations), plus (ii) the outstanding Swingline
Loans, plus (iii) the Letter of Credit Exposure
plus , (iv) the Interim Floorplan Loan Advances,
plus (v) the Floorplan Loan Advances, plus
(vi) the amount of the Other Creditor Indebtedness (unless a
subordination agreement satisfactory to Administrative Agents has
been executed among Administrative Agents and the holder(s) of such
Other Creditor Indebtedness). Each Lender’s Floorplan Loan
Facility is its Pro-Rata Share of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan
Facility. All Floorplan Loan Advances for Floorplanned Inventory
will be made directly to Approved Vendors and not to Reseller.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, payments and prepayments
that are applied to reduce the Aggregate Floorplan Loans may be
reborrowed through subsequent Floorplan Loan Advances, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan
7
Documents. From
and after the date on which Administrative Agents have actual
knowledge of an Event of Default under Section 17.1.1
or under Section 17.1.11 , no further Approvals will be
issued and, except with respect to unfunded Approvals for Floorplan
Loan Advances issued prior to knowledge of such Event of Default,
no further Floorplan Loan Advances shall be made. Each Lender shall
be obligated to fund its Pro Rata Share of all Floorplan Loan
Advances for Approvals once issued (except any Approvals issued
contrary to the terms of the preceding sentence) regardless as to
whether at the time of issuance there is an Existing Default or
after the date of issuance of any Approval an Event of Default
occurs. From and after the date on which Administrative Agents have
actual knowledge of any other Event of Default, no further
Approvals will be issued if CPC so chooses in its discretion to no
longer issue Approvals or if Required Lenders direct CPC to no
longer issue Approvals, and if CPC so chooses or Required Lenders
so direct, except with respect to unfunded Approvals, no further
Floorplan Loan Advances shall be made. The Floorplan Loan Facility
will not be evidenced by promissory notes.
3.2.2. Interim Floorplan Loan
Advances . To reduce the
frequency of fundings of Floorplan Loan Advances by Lenders, but
subject to the limitations in Section 3.2.4 and elsewhere
herein, CPC may in its absolute discretion make Interim Floorplan
Loan Advances for the account of and benefit of Reseller with
respect to an Approval issued by CPC from time to time from the
Effective Date, to the effective date of any termination of the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility. From and after the date on which
Administrative Agents have actual knowledge of an Event of Default
under Section 17.1.1 or under
Section 17.1.11 , no further Interim Floorplan Loan
Advances shall be made. From and after the date on which
Administrative Agents have actual knowledge of any other Event of
Default, at the sole discretion of Administrative Agents, no
further Interim Floorplan Loan Advances shall be made. Subject to
the limitations in Section 3.2.4 and elsewhere herein,
payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the Interim
Floorplan Loan may be reborrowed for new Inventory purchases
through Interim Floorplan Loan Advances. The Interim Floorplan Loan
Facility will not be evidenced by promissory notes.
3.2.3. Terminations of Vendor
Agreements.
(i) Upon termination of a Vendor Agreement
or upon a material adverse change with respect to a Vendor
Agreement, CPC may in its absolute discretion, cease to fund
requests for Approvals and make Floorplan Loan Advances with
respect to such Vendor (each, a “VENDOR TERMINATION”).
If a Vendor Agreement is terminated by a Vendor, CPC agrees to
provide written notice to Reseller of such termination within one
Business Day of CPC’s receipt of such termination notice
(each, a “PRE-TERMINATION NOTICE”) from the Vendor, and
Reseller agrees that if there is no Existing Default, the provision
to Reseller by CPC of the same period of pre-termination notice as
provided to CPC by the applicable terminating Vendor shall be given
and is reasonable and sufficient.
(ii) If a Vendor Termination occurs due to
the termination of a Vendor Agreement by CPC, Reseller agrees that
if there is no Existing Default, 60 days prior notice of such
Vendor Termination shall be given and is reasonable and sufficient.
During either notice period described above, CPC may make Interim
Floorplan Loan Advances as provided in Section 3.2.2 ,
and Lenders will continue to fund Floorplan Loan Advances for
Approvals (which have not been cancelled by CPC prior to the
shipment of Inventory by the terminating Vendor) issued on or
before the expiration of such notice period and in either case,
repayment shall be in accordance with the applicable Transaction
Statement and Monthly Billing Statement.
8
(iii) Reseller will not be relieved from
any obligation to Administrative Agents or Lenders arising out of
Floorplan Loans or Interim Floorplan Loans made before the
effective termination date of the Vendor Termination or made after
the effective termination date of the Vendor Termination in
connection with Approvals issued on or before such effective
termination date, which Approvals have not been cancelled by CPC
prior to the shipment of Inventory by the terminating Vendor.
Notwithstanding a termination of a Vendor Agreement as described
above, Administrative Agents and Lenders will retain all of their
rights, interests and remedies hereunder and in all Collateral
until Reseller has indefeasibly paid all of the Loan Obligations in
full in cash, all Letters of Credit have expired and the Letter of
Credit Exposure is irrevocably reduced to zero.
3.2.4. Limitations on Interim Floorplan Loan
Advances . The maximum
amount of the Interim Floorplan Loan amount on any date shall be
Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). Administrative Agents
shall not be obligated to make any particular Interim Floorplan
Loan Advance, the making of any particular Interim Floorplan Loan
Advance at any particular time being absolutely discretionary.
Administrative Agents will not without the prior consent (which may
be written or oral) of each Lender, knowingly make any Interim
Floorplan Loan Advance which would cause the aggregate amount of
the Interim Floorplan Loan plus the Aggregate Floorplan Loan
to exceed the limitations set forth herein as of the date
immediately prior to the making of any such Interim Floorplan Loan
Advance. Administrative Agents shall not be obligated to fund any
Interim Floorplan Loan Advances after the effective date of
termination of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility or the Interim
Floorplan Loan Facility.
3.2.5. Operation of Floorplan Loan Facility and
Interim Floorplan Loan Facility . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the
Floorplan Loan Facility and Interim Floorplan Loan Facility may be
used by Reseller from time to time to purchase Floorplanned
Inventory from a Vendor approved by Administrative Agents in their
sole and absolute discretion (each an “APPROVED VENDOR”
and, collectively, the “APPROVED VENDORS”).
3.2.6. Floorplan Loan Approvals
. Reseller and each Lender
acknowledge and agree that: (i) CPC may issue Approvals on a
date that is prior to the date of the funding of any Floorplan Loan
Advance or Interim Floorplan Loan Advance that are based on such
Approvals; (ii) once an Approval has been issued, then
Administrative Agents may, and may require Lenders, to fund the
related Advance at any time, notwithstanding (A) any Default
or Event of Default that may arise on or prior to the date of any
such Advance, (B) whether the Loan Obligations have been
accelerated, (C) whether the Facilities have been terminated,
or (D) whether any such Advance shall occur after the
effective date of termination of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan
Facility for an Approval issued on or prior to such date; and (iii)
each Lender shall be obligated to fund its Pro-Rata Share of any
such Advance once an Approval has been issued for such Advance and
after receipt of an invoice by CPC from the applicable Approved
Vendor regardless of whether such Advance has been funded by CPC. A
request from an Approved Vendor (with respect to Reseller) to CPC
to finance Floorplanned Inventory will be deemed to be a request
from Reseller for a Floorplan Loan Advance or an Interim Floorplan
Loan Advance, as the case may be.
9
3.2.7. Inventory not Available for Floorplan
Loans and Interim Floorplan Loans . Only Approved Vendors will be eligible to
receive proceeds of Aggregate Floorplan Loans and Interim Floorplan
Loans for Floorplanned Inventory. Administrative Agents or Required
Lenders may, at any time and with reasonable notice to Reseller,
elect not to finance any inventory sold by particular Approved
Vendors, including any Approved Vendors who are in default of their
obligations to CPC or with respect to which CPC or Administrative
Agents deem themselves reasonably insecure. Except with respect to
Approvals issued by CPC on or before the effective date of the
termination of the Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility, Lenders shall
not be obligated to fund any Floorplan Loan Advances after such
date.
3.2.8. Repurchase Agreements
. CPC has entered into agreements
with Vendors who are expected to receive proceeds of the Aggregate
Floorplan Loans and the Interim Floorplan Loans (each being a
“VENDOR AGREEMENT” and collectively, the “VENDOR
AGREEMENTS”). Neither Administrative Agents, CPC nor any
Lender makes any representation or warranty regarding the Vendor
Agreements, including regarding the enforceability thereof, whether
any particular item of Inventory purchased by Reseller is subject
to repurchase rights, or any repurchase rights that may be set
forth therein. Each Lender and Reseller acknowledges and agrees
that CPC may take or refrain from taking any actions under or in
connection with the Vendor Agreements in CPC’s Permitted
Discretion. No Vendor is a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
3.2.9. Floorplan Loan Pay Down
Provision . Regardless of
the payment terms pertaining to any Loans or anything contained in
this Agreement to the contrary, if at the time of any
determination, the sum of Reseller’s total outstanding Loan
Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base, Reseller will immediately
pay to Administrative Agents the sum of such excess.
3.3.1. Swingline Advances
. To reduce the frequency of
fundings of Revolving Loan Advances by Lenders, but subject to the
limitations in Section 3.3.3 and elsewhere herein, CPC
may (provided an Advance Request in the form of
Exhibit 7.13 is received by CPC) in its absolute
discretion make Swingline Advances to Reseller from time to time
from the Effective Date to the Termination Date. From and after the
date on which Administrative Agents have actual knowledge of an
Event of Default under Section 17.1.1 or
Section 17.1.11 , no further Swingline Advances shall
be made. Subject to the limitations in Section 3.3.3 and
elsewhere herein, payments and prepayments that are applied to
reduce the Swingline Loan may be reborrowed through Swingline
Advances.
3.3.2. Termination of Swingline
Facility . CPC may
terminate the Swingline Facility at any time in its absolute
discretion. If CPC terminates the Swingline Facility, Reseller
agrees that no prior notice of any kind is required. Reseller will
not be relieved from any obligation to CPC arising out of the
Swingline Facility made before the effective termination date of
the Swingline Facility. Notwithstanding a termination of the
Swingline Facility, Administrative Agents and Lenders will retain
all of their rights, interests and remedies hereunder and in all
Collateral until Reseller has indefeasibly paid all of the Loan
Obligations in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have expired and
the Letter of Credit Exposure is irrevocably reduced to
zero.
10
3.3.3. Limitations on Swingline
Advances . CPC shall not
be obligated to make any particular Swingline Advance, the making
of any particular Swingline Advance at any particular time being
absolutely discretionary. In any event, no Swingline Advance will
be made on or after the Termination Date, and no Swingline Advance
will be made which would result in the Swingline Loan exceeding the
Maximum Swingline Amount. CPC may, however, in its absolute
discretion make such Swingline Advances, but shall not be deemed by
doing so to have increased the Maximum Swingline Amount and shall
not be obligated to make any such Swingline Advance thereafter. CPC
will not, without the prior consent (which may be written or oral)
of each Lender, knowingly make any Swingline Advance which would
cause the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan to
exceed the Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount as of such date
immediately prior to the making of any such Swingline Advance. The
Maximum Swingline Amount on any date for any Swingline Advance
shall be a Dollar amount equal to the lesser of
(a) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) less the
outstanding principal amount of any Swingline Loans and
(b) the amount by which the Revolving Loan Maximum Available
Amount as of such date exceeds the Aggregate Revolving
Loans.

Letter of Credit
Facility.
|
3.4.1. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, Letter of Credit Issuer will issue standby letters of
credit and commercial (documentary) letters of credit for the
account of Reseller from time to time from the Effective Date to
the Termination Date, but only if the Letter of Credit Exposure
will not as a result of such issuance exceed the least of
(a) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), (b) the amount
by which (i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility Limit
exceeds (ii) the sum of (A) the outstanding principal
amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loans, plus (B) the
outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans, (c) the
amount by which (i) the Total Facility Limit exceeds
(ii) the sum of (A) the Floorplan Loan Advances,
plus (B) the Interim Floorplan Loan Advances,
plus (C) the outstanding principal amount of the
Swingline Loans, plus (D) the outstanding principal
amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loans, and (d) the amount by
which (i) the Borrowing Base exceeds (ii) the sum of
(A) the Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (B) the
Interim Floorplan Loan Advances, plus (C) the
outstanding principal amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loans,
plus (D) the outstanding principal amount of the
Swingline Loans, plus (E) the amount of the Other
Creditor Indebtedness (unless a subordination agreement
satisfactory to Administrative Agents has been executed between
Administrative Agents and the holder of such Other Creditor
Indebtedness). At the request of Reseller, Letter of Credit Issuer
together with the Administrative Agents and the Lenders will
consider in their sole discretion, the increase of the Letter of
Credit Exposure to an amount in excess of Twenty-Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000), provided that such increase shall not
increase the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility Limit.
3.4.2. On the Effective Date, Letter of Credit Issuer
shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender,
and such other Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and
received from Letter of Credit Issuer, a pro-rata undivided
interest and participation in each Letter of Credit listed on
Schedule 3.4.2 , the reimbursement obligation of Reseller
with respect thereto, and any guaranty thereof or collateral
therefor. After the Effective Date, immediately upon the issuance
by Letter of Credit Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Letter of Credit Issuer
shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender,
and such other Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and
received from Letter of Credit Issuer, a pro-rata undivided
interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, the
reimbursement obligation of Reseller with respect thereto, and any
guaranty thereof or collateral therefor. Each Lender’s
(including Letter of Credit Issuer’s) pro-rata undivided
interest shall be the same as its Pro-Rata Share of the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Facility.
11
3.4.3. Subject to the terms below, the expiration date
of any Letter of Credit will not be later than the earlier of
(a) the first anniversary of the date of issuance or
(b) a Business Day that is not later than the date which is
25 days prior to the Termination Date; provided ,
however, that the expiration date for a Letter of Credit may be
later than such date if Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative
Agents each consent to such issuance and Reseller provides to
Letter of Credit Issuer at the time of issuance cash collateral
satisfactory to Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agents
as security for Reseller’s obligation to reimburse Letter of
Credit Issuer for 105% of all draws and expenses thereunder
(“CASH COLLATERAL”). The Cash Collateral is a part of
the Collateral. Reseller agrees that (a) should Letter of
Credit Issuer not qualify as a “Lender” upon the
Effective Date, or (b) if a Letter of Credit has been issued
and the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility is subsequently
terminated or the Letter of Credit Facility is subsequently
terminated or a Termination Date will occur so that the expiry of
such Letter of Credit(s) is beyond the Termination Date, then
Reseller shall, (i) on the Effective Date in the case of
clause (a) above, or (ii) within five Business Days prior
to the Termination Date in the case of clause (b) above,
provide Letter of Credit Issuer with Cash Collateral. In the case
of clause (a) above, such Cash Collateral shall be released
and refunded to Reseller on the date on which Letter of Credit
Issuer becomes a Lender hereunder. Administrative Agents and
Lenders shall be entitled to make one or more Revolving Loans to
provide Cash Collateral if Reseller does not timely provide Cash
Collateral and all such Revolving Loans shall be a part of the Loan
Obligations secured by the Collateral. Letter of Credit Issuer
shall hold Cash Collateral for the benefit of Lenders and
Administrative Agents as security for the Letters of Credit and the
other Loan Obligations in an account at Letter of Credit Issuer in
the name of Letter of Credit Issuer.
3.4.4. Should Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., resign as Letter
of Credit Issuer and should any subsequent Letter of Credit Issuer
subsequently resign as a Lender under the terms of this Agreement,
then such Letter of Credit Issuer shall also resign as Letter of
Credit Issuer and all Letter of Credit obligations then outstanding
shall be assumed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. shall thereafter become Letter of Credit Issuer.

Termination/Maturity/Renewal.
|
3.5.1. At any time there is an Existing Default
irrespective of any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
Administrative Agents or Required Lenders may terminate the
Facilities, accelerate the Loan Obligations or take such other
actions as they may be permitted to take hereunder (including under
Section 17.3 ), the other Loan Documents or at law or
in equity. Notwithstanding a termination, Administrative Agents and
Lenders will retain all of their rights, interests and remedies
hereunder and in all Collateral until Reseller has indefeasibly
paid all of the Loan Obligations in full in cash, all Letters of
Credit have expired and the Letter of Credit Exposure is
irreversibly zero.
3.5.2. Reseller may, at any time, elect to terminate
the Facilities, provided that Reseller pays to Administrative
Agents, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (a) the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans (b) all interest accrued
hereunder with respect to the Loans, if any, to the date set for
termination, plus (c) a prepayment fee equal to $410 times the
number of days from and including the date set for termination to
and including the second anniversary of the Effective
Date.
12
Notwithstanding a termination, Administrative
Agents and Lenders will retain all of their rights, interests and
remedies hereunder and in all Collateral until Reseller has
indefeasibly paid all of the Loan Obligations in full in cash, all
Letters of Credit have expired and the Letter of Credit Exposure is
irreversibly zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CPC’s
relationship is terminated with an Approved Vendor such that
Reseller may no longer obtain Floorplan Loan Advances with respect
to such Approved Vendor, then Reseller shall not be obligated to
pay the foregoing prepayment fee if within 60 days of the
termination of the relationship between CPC and such Approved
Vendor, Reseller elects to terminate the Facilities and make all
payments required by this Section (other than the prepayment fee)
within 60 days after such election to terminate.
3.5.3. If the Facilities are not sooner terminated as
contemplated by this Agreement, then, notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Facilities shall
automatically terminate on the Termination Date (defined below)
unless no fewer than 60 days prior to the Termination Date,
Administrative Agents, Reseller, and all of Lenders affirmatively
agree in writing, in each of their respective sole and absolute
discretion, to renew the Facilities for an additional 365-day
period on the terms and conditions contained herein (a
“RENEWAL”). If no Renewal has occurred,
“TERMINATION DATE” means the earlier of: (a) the
termination of the Facilities by Administrative Agents or Required
Lenders pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.5 , or
(b) the second anniversary of the Effective Date, provided
that if one or more Renewals have occurred, “TERMINATION
DATE” means the earlier of the termination of the Facilities
by Administrative Agents or Required Lenders and the date which is
the last day of the 365-day period for which the Facilities were
extended pursuant to the Renewal which occurred the latest. None of
Administrative Agents nor any Lender shall be obligated to provide
Reseller notice (written or oral) of a Termination Date. If written
evidence of a Renewal is not executed by Administrative Agents, all
of Lenders and Reseller as required herein, then this Agreement and
the Loan Documents shall terminate on the Termination Date without
further action or notice by any Party.

Lenders Only.
|
4.3.1. Indebtedness under each Transaction Statement
shall bear interest at the rate specified in, and shall be payable
in accordance with, the Monthly Billing Statement. After the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
Indebtedness under each Transaction Statement shall bear interest
at the Default Rate.
13
4.3.2. Reseller, Administrative Agents and each Lender
agree that certain financial terms of any Floorplan Loan Advance or
Interim Floorplan Loan Advance made under this Agreement, whether
regarding interest rates, other fees, maturities, or other
financial terms, are not set forth herein because such terms
depend, in part, upon the availability of Vendor discounts, payment
terms or other incentives, prevailing economic conditions,
Administrative Agents or CPC’s floor planning volume with
Reseller and with Reseller’s Vendors, and other economic
factors which may vary over time. Reseller, Administrative Agents
and each Lender further agree that it is therefore in their mutual
best interest to set forth in this Agreement only the general terms
of the Floorplan Loan Facility and the Interim Floorplan Loan
Facility. Upon agreeing to finance a particular item of inventory
for Reseller, CPC will send Reseller a Transaction Statement
identifying such Inventory and the Payment Due Date (each being a
“TRANSACTION STATEMENT”). CPC may, without the consent
of Lenders or Required Lenders, change any aspect or portion of any
Transaction Statement. Unless Reseller notifies Administrative
Agents in writing of any objection within 15 days after a
Transaction Statement is mailed or sent electronically to Reseller:
(a) the amount shown on such Transaction Statement will be an
account stated; (b) Reseller will have agreed to all terms
shown on such Transaction Statement; (c) Reseller will have
agreed that Administrative Agents are financing the items of
Inventory referenced in such Transaction Statement at
Reseller’s request; and (d) such Transaction Statement
will be incorporated herein by reference, will be made a part
hereof as if originally set forth herein, and will constitute an
addendum hereto. If Reseller objects to the terms of any
Transaction Statement, Reseller agrees to pay Administrative Agent
for such Inventory in accordance with the most recent terms for
similar Inventory to which Reseller has not objected (or, if there
are no prior terms, at the lesser of the Prime Rate plus two
percent (2.0%) per annum or at the maximum lawful contract rate of
interest permitted under Law).
4.3.3. Reseller will pay to CPC the interest (on the
Interim Floorplan Loan) for its own account and to CPC (on the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan) for its own account on the outstanding
principal amount of the Interim Floorplan Loans and the Aggregate
Floorplan Loans, respectively, at the rate(s) and in the amount(s)
shown on the applicable Transaction Statement, or if Reseller
objects thereto, then in such amount(s) as provided in
Section 4.3.2 . All interest due and owing as set forth
in the Monthly Billing Statement shall be retained by CPC for its
own account (on the Interim Floorplan Loans and on the Aggregate
Floorplan Loans). Except for volume purchase discounts provided to
Reseller by a Vendor, all discounts and subsidies from a Vendor
shall be for the sole account of CPC. Principal received by
Administrative Agents from Reseller on the Aggregate Floorplan
Loans will be paid to Lenders as set forth in
Section 18.10 . The interest shown in each Monthly
Billing Statement will: (a) be computed based on a
360 day year; (b) be calculated by multiplying the Daily
Charge (as defined below) by the actual number of days in the
applicable billing period; and (c) accrue from the Payment Due
Date until Administrative Agents receive full payment as provided
in this Agreement for each item of such Collateral. The
“DAILY CHARGE” is the product of the Daily Rate (as
defined below) multiplied by the Average Daily Balance (as defined
below). The “DAILY RATE” is the quotient of the annual
rate shown in the Monthly Billing Statement divided by 360. The
“AVERAGE DAILY BALANCE” is the quotient of (a) the
sum of the outstanding principal under the Aggregate Floor Plan
Facility plus the Interim Floorplan Loan Facility on each day of a
billing period for each item of Collateral identified on a
Transaction Statement or in the Monthly Billing Statement, divided
by (b) the actual number of days in such billing period. With
respect to the Interim Floorplan Loans and the Floorplan Loans, the
annual interest rate relating to any item of Collateral financed
thereby will be calculated from the Payment Due Date, regardless of
any period during which any finance charge subsidy shall be paid or
payable by any third party.
14
4.3.4. On a monthly basis, CPC will send Reseller a
billing statement identifying principal financed plus accrued
interest, due to Administrative Agents on the Interim Floorplan
Loans and to CPC, as a Lender, on the Floorplan Loan Facility (the
“MONTHLY BILLING STATEMENT”). Except as otherwise
provided in a Monthly Billing Statement, the charges specified in
each Monthly Billing Statement will be due and payable on the
Payment Due Date in accordance with the terms of such Monthly
Billing Statement
All Extended
Pay Outstandings shall be deemed to be Revolving Loan Advances
hereunder. The Initial Advance and each Revolving Loan Advance or
any part of a Revolving Loan Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.
Each LIBOR Rate Advance when made will be a LIBOR Rate Loan that
bears interest at the LIBOR Rate.
|
|
4.4.
|
|
Interest on Floorplan
Loans
|
(i) Administrative Agents, Reseller and
each Lender acknowledge and agree that the rate of return paid on
any Floorplan Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan is dependent on
numerous factors, including discounts and subsidies offered by
Vendors. Accordingly, Administrative Agents, Reseller and each
Lender agrees that due to the difficulty in determining the actual
rate of return on any particular Floorplan Loan or Interim
Floorplan Loan or with respect to any particular invoice underlying
any such Loan Lenders (other than CPC) will be paid the interest
rate specified in this Agreement. With respect to each Lender
(other than CPC), CPC shall pay to each Lender interest on each
Floorplan Loan Advance for such Lender based on the interest rates
set forth in Section 4.6 and 4.7 and, if
applicable, 4.10 , and as provided in
Section 6.1.1 from the date of funding by such Lender
to CPC of its Pro-Rata Share of such Floorplan Loan Advance to the
Payment Due Date. Each Floorplan Loan Advance or any part of a
Floorplan Loan Advance owing to a Lender (other than CPC) shall be
considered a LIBOR Rate Loan for interest rate calculation
purposes.
(ii) After the Payment Due Date with
respect to each Advance, after the Termination Date (to the extent
interest remains owing) or upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, and subject to clause
(iii) below, Administrative Agents shall distribute interest
to each Lender (including CPC as a Lender) out of cash or good
collected funds representing interest due by Reseller, each
Lender’s Pro Rata Share.
(iii) If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender
(as defined in Section 7.8.1 ) and such default
continues for more than two Business Days, then for as long as such
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Advance so funded by
Administrative Agents shall constitute a special class of Advances
hereunder (the “DEFAULTED ADVANCES”), and (a) such
Defaulting Lender shall cease to be entitled to receive any
interest payable by CPC pursuant to clause (i) hereof or
distributable by Administrative Agents pursuant to clause
(ii) hereof with respect to such Defaulted Advances, and
(b) in addition to the rights of Administrative Agents set
forth in Sections 7.8.1 and 7.8 3 , any interest
payable by CPC or collected by Administrative Agents thereafter,
shall be applied first to repayment in full of the Defaulted
Advances before application of such Collections and other monies to
any other Advances.
|
|
4.5.
|
|
LIBOR Rate . Except as set forth in
Section 4.3.1 , the “LIBOR RATE” for any
LIBOR Rate Loan is the LIBOR Underlying Rate (which will fluctuate
as described in Section 4.8 ) plus the applicable LIBOR
Increment as provided in Section 4.6 .

(c) Extended Pay Outstandings, (d) the Initial Advance and
(e) each Revolving Loan Advance, shall be three percentage
points (3%) per annum. The applicable LIBOR Increment with respect
to Floorplan Loans and Interim Floorplan Loans shall be 3.5% per
annum. The applicable LIBOR Increment to be paid to Lenders by CPC
is set forth on Schedule 4.6 .

|
|
Time of Accrual
. Interest shall accrue
on all principal amounts outstanding from the date when first
outstanding to the date when no longer outstanding. Amounts shall
be deemed outstanding until payments are applied thereto as
provided herein.

|
|
|

|
|
Computation; LIBOR Underlying
Rate .
Interest shall be computed for the actual days elapsed over a year
deemed to consist of 360 days for all LIBOR Rate Loans. The
LIBOR Rate for each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be the rate determined by
Administrative Agents pursuant to this Agreement. For each LIBOR
Rate Loan, the LIBOR Rate shall fluctuate as provided for herein.
The “ LIBOR Underlying Rate ” shall be the
interest rate per annum equal to the quotient (rounded to the
nearest 0.001%) of: on the Effective Date, and for each calendar
week thereafter, commencing on Wednesday of such week, the one
month LIBOR Rate per annum, as determined by Administrative Agents,
as adjusted from time to time in Administrative Agents’
Permitted Discretion for then applicable reserve requirements,
deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs, as
reported by The Wall Street Journal and identified as the
“London Interbank Offered Rate”, on each Monday
immediately preceding or if any such Monday is not a Business Day,
then on the Business Day immediately preceding such Monday. If for
any reason such rate is not available in The Wall Street
Journal , the term “LIBOR Underlying Rate” means,
for any LIBOR Rate Loan, the rate per annum, as determined by
Administrative Agent, as adjusted from time to time in
Administrative Agents’ Permitted Discretion for then
applicable reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates
and other regulatory costs, appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR Page
as the London Interbank Offered Rate for deposits in Dollars at
approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) for an interest period
of one month, on (a) each Monday immediately preceding, or
(b) if any such Monday is not a Business Day, then on the
Business Day immediately preceding such Monday; provided, however,
if more than one rate is specified on Reuters Screen LIBOR Page,
the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1000 of one
percent (1%).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Such rate may not be the lowest
rate of interest charged by either Administrative Agent or any
Lender to its respective customers or a favored rate and may not
correspond with future increases or decreases in interest rates
charged by other lenders or market interest rates in general, and
is used herein as a reference rate.

|
|
|
Reseller shall pay interest on each
of the Loans after their Maturity, and if Administrative Agents or
Required Lenders so determine in their absolute discretion, on the
Loans after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus four
and one-half percentage points (4.5%) (the “DEFAULT
RATE”).
|
16
4.10.1. Any and all payments by Reseller to or for the
account of any Lender or Administrative Agents hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all current or future Taxes, excluding
, in the case of each Lender and each Administrative Agent, (a)
Taxes imposed on its income by any Governmental Authority, and
(b) franchise Taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) or such Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof.
If Reseller shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to any Lender or an Administrative Agent, (a) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section) such Lender or such Administrative
Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (b) Reseller shall make such
deductions, (c) Reseller shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with Law, and (d) Reseller shall furnish to Administrative
Agents, at the common notice address referred to herein, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof.
4.10.2. In addition, Reseller agrees to pay any and all
present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise
or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to
as “IMPOSITIONS”), except income and franchise Taxes
imposed by any Governmental Authority referred to in
Section 4.11.1 .
4.10.3. Reseller agrees to indemnify each Lender and
each Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and
Impositions (including any Taxes or Impositions imposed or asserted
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) that are
required to be paid by Reseller hereunder but are paid by such
Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, however, that neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to
pay any such Taxes, Impositions or other liability.
4.10.4. Each Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of
its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each
Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the
date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender,
and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by
Reseller or Administrative Agents (but only so long as such Lender
remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Reseller and
Administrative Agents with (a) Internal Revenue Service form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed
by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is
entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding Tax on
payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable
pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States,
(b) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate,
or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service,
and (c) any other form or certificate required by any
Governmental Authority (including any certificate required by Code
Sections 871(h) and 881(c)), certifying that such Lender is
entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of Tax on payments
pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.
17
4.10.5. For any period with respect to which a Lender
has failed to provide Reseller and Administrative Agents with the
appropriate form pursuant to Section 4.11.4 (unless such
failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation occurring
subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to
be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification
under this Section 4.11 with respect to Taxes imposed
by or within the United States; provided , however ,
that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to
a reduced rate of withholding Tax, become subject to Taxes because
of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Reseller shall
take such action as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist
such Lender to recover such Taxes.
4.10.6. If Reseller is required to pay additional
amounts to or for the account of any Lender or Administrative
Agents pursuant to this Section, then such Lender or the affected
Administrative Agent will agree to use reasonable efforts to change
the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to
eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may
thereafter accrue if such change, in the Permitted Discretion of
such Lender or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is
not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or such Administrative
Agent, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees, with respect to the
provisions of this Section 4.11 , to treat Reseller in a
manner substantially similar to that of its other similarly
situated customers.
4.10.7. Within 30 days after the date of any
payment of Taxes described in this Section 4.11 ,
Reseller shall furnish to Administrative Agents the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.
4.10.8. Without prejudice to the survival of any other
agreement of Reseller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of
Reseller contained in this Section shall survive the termination of
the Facilities and the indefeasible payment in full of the Loan
Obligations.
4.11.1. If, after the date hereof, any Lender or
Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that the
adoption after the date hereof of any Law regarding capital
adequacy or any change after the date hereof therein or in the
interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof by
any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any
request or directive after the date hereof regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital
of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a
consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon demand Reseller shall pay to
such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably
compensate such Lender for such reduction.
4.11.2. Each Lender shall promptly notify Reseller and
Administrative Agents of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the Permitted Discretion of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this
Section shall furnish to Reseller and Administrative Agents a
statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid
to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Each Lender agrees,
with respect to the provisions of this Section, to treat Reseller
in a manner substantially similar to that of its other similarly
situated customers.

Usury . Notwithstanding any provisions to
the contrary in Section 4 or elsewhere in any of the
Loan Documents, Reseller shall not be obligated to pay interest at
a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law. If, but for
this Section 4.13 , Reseller would be deemed obligated
to pay interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted
by Law, or if any of the Loan Obligations is paid or becomes
payable before its originally scheduled Maturity or is otherwise
accelerated and as a result Reseller has paid or would be obligated
to pay interest at such an excessive rate, then (a) Reseller
shall not be obligated to pay interest to the extent it exceeds the
interest that would be payable at the maximum rate permitted by
Law; (b) if the outstanding Loan Obligations have not been
accelerated as provided in Section 17.3.2 , any such
excess interest that has been paid by Reseller shall be refunded;
(c) if the outstanding Loan Obligations have been accelerated
as provided in Section 17.3.2 , any such excess that
has been paid by Reseller shall be applied to the Loan Obligations
as provided in Section 17.4 ; and (d) the
effective rate of interest shall be deemed automatically reduced to
the maximum rate permitted by Law.

Administrative Agents for the account of each Lender with a
Revolving Loan Facility (pro rata based on each Lender’s
Revolving Loan Facility), a non-refundable recurring Letter of
Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit issued by Letter of Credit
Issuer. The Letter of Credit Fee for any Letter of Credit shall be
an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn amount of such Letter of
Credit multiplied by 2.00% (per annum). The Letter of Credit Fee
for each Letter of Credit shall be payable in advance on the date
of issuance for the remaining portion of the quarter when issued
and quarterly thereafter on the last day of each full calendar
quarter thereafter while such Letter of Credit is outstanding and
upon maturity or termination thereof pro-rata for the remaining
portion of the quarter in which such maturity or termination
occurs.

line fee for the period from the date hereof through the end of the
Termination Date equal in the aggregate to 0.24% per annum of the
average daily unborrowed amount of the Total Facility Limit in
effect during the period for which payment is made (the
“UNUSED LINE FEE”). The Unused Line Fee shall be
payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month until the
Termination Date. The Parties agree that such Unused Line Fee
constitutes reasonable consideration for Administrative
Agents’ taking of appropriate actions to be able to make
available to Reseller the amount of the Total Facility Limit for
such period.

5.6.
|
|
Calculation of Fees
. All of the foregoing
fees shall be calculated by Administrative Agents and payable by
Reseller. All of the foregoing fees and all other fees payable
hereunder to Administrative Agents or any Lender that are based on
an annual percentage shall be calculated on the basis of a year
deemed to consist of 360 days and for the actual number of
days elapsed. Once paid, all such fees shall be deemed to be fully
earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances. These fees are a
part of the Loan Obligations and are secured by all of the
Collateral. Administrative Agents are hereby authorized to make an
Advance to pay such fees.

20
6.1.2.1. Revolving Loans . Reseller shall, and shall cause each other
Covered Person to, direct all Account Debtors to remit payments on
their Accounts to one or another lockboxes maintained at financial
institutions acceptable to Administrative Agents, each under a
lockbox agreement with each such financial institution satisfactory
to Administrative Agents (collectively, the
“LOCKBOXES”) with all payments received in any such
Lockboxes being deposited into an account at such financial
institution (all such accounts that may exist from time to time,
are collectively referred to as the “BLOCKED
ACCOUNTS”). Each of the Blocked Accounts and Lockboxes shall
be blocked in favor of Administrative Agents pursuant to one or
more agreements satisfactory to Administrative Agents. Reseller
hereby assigns and grants to Collateral Agent for the benefit of
Lenders, a Security Interest which shall at all times have a first
priority position in any and all Blocked Accounts and Lockboxes and
other deposit accounts, including all operating accounts, as
security for payment and performance of the Loan Obligations. Each
of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that without further consent
by Reseller or any financial institution where the Blocked Accounts
are located, only Administrative Agents shall have the right, power
and authority, which right, power and authority is irrevocable, to
demand, collect, withdraw, receipt for or sue for all amounts that
enter the Lockboxes and the Blocked Accounts, and each such
financial institution will follow only the directions or
instructions of Administrative Agents (including directions or
instructions to transfer amounts or funds out of the Lockboxes and
the Blocked Accounts) with respect to the Lockboxes and the Blocked
Accounts, the contents thereof, and all proceeds thereof. All
payments received in the Lockboxes, Blocked Accounts and other
proceeds of Collateral and other funds (including credit card
receipts) Reseller receives directly (other than from Floorplan
Loan Advances, Interim Floorplan Loan Advances, Revolving Loan
Advances and Swingline Advances), shall be paid to Administrative
Agents, as payment on the Advances, as provided for
herein.
(a) Subject to
Section 6.1.2.1(b) , payments shall be paid or applied
by Administrative Agents (in each case up to the outstanding
principal amount of the applicable Loan) (i) first, to reduce
the Swingline Loan to zero, (ii) second, to the extent of any
excess, for the account of each Lenders pro rata, to reduce the
Aggregate Revolving Loans or Extended Pay Outstandings of each
Lender and (iii) third, if there is no Existing Default to
distribute to Reseller, but if there is an Existing Default then
retained by Administrative Agents until same may be applied as
provided herein (without any obligation to pay Reseller interest on
such funds) or, if there is an Existing Default, distributed by
Administrative Agents to the other Lenders after consultation by
Administrative Agents with the other Lenders. To the extent that
monies have been distributed by Administrative Agents to Reseller
pursuant to Section 6.1.2.1(a)(iii ) above, on a date
payment(s) are owed by Reseller with respect to Interim Floorplan
Loans and the Aggregate Floorplan Loans, Reseller shall remit all
such payments to Administrative Agents, which payments shall be
applied by Administrative Agents, first, to the Interim Floorplan
Loans then due of Administrative Agents and, thereafter, to the
Aggregate Floorplan Loans then due of Lenders, as
applicable.
21
(b) Prior
to 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on Thursday of each calendar week
(a “SETTLEMENT DATE”), based on funds collected
pursuant to Section 6.1.2.1 as of 3:00 p.m. (Local
Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Settlement
Date (under all circumstances, including during the existence of
any Event of Default), each Lender shall, to the extent it does not
hold its Pro-Rata Share of the funded portion of the outstanding
Aggregate Floorplan Loans (including any amounts for which an
Approval has been issued), and Aggregate Revolving Loans, but
excluding any Swingline Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan (which will
be settled to zero as a part of the settlement), purchase from or
sell to one or more other Lenders, at par, which may occur by a
funding through Administrative Agents, that portion of its Loans as
is necessary for it to thereafter hold its Pro-Rata Share of the
funded portion of the outstanding Aggregate Floorplan Loans and
Aggregate Revolving Loans. In order that the foregoing settlement
among Lenders can be effected on each Settlement Date,
Administrative Agents shall, on or before 10:00 a.m. (Local
Time) on such Settlement Date, (i) notify each Lender who
shall purchase a Loan, of the principal amount of the Loan to be
purchased, and each Lender shall make immediately available to
Administrative Agents by 12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such
Settlement Date funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of
such principal amount of the Loan to be purchased in accordance
with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative
Agents to Lenders from time to time, and (ii) notify each
Lender who shall sell a Loan, of the principal amount of the Loan
to be sold, and the Administrative Agents shall make immediately
available to such selling Lenders by 12:00 p.m. (Local Time)
on such Settlement Date, to the extent provided by purchasing
Lenders, funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of such
principal amount of the Loan to be sold in accordance with such
remittance instructions as may be given by Lenders to the
Administrative Agents from time to time.
6.1.2.2. Administrative Agents may, at any time, in their
sole discretion, cause the Settlement Date to occur more
frequently, including each Business Day of each week.
Administrative Agents shall notify each Lender that a given
Business Day shall be a Settlement Date by no later than 1:00 p.m.
(Local Time) on the Business Day immediately preceding any such
date; provided, however, if the Settlement Date occurs more
frequently than once a week, then once Administrative Agents give
such notice, no further notices shall be required.

Floorplan Loans and Interim Floorplan Loans . Reseller will immediately pay
Administrative Agents the principal indebtedness owed
Administrative Agents and Lenders on each item of Collateral
financed by Lenders and Administrative Agents (as shown on the
Transaction Statement identifying such Collateral) under the
Floorplan Loan Facility or the Interim Floorplan Loan Facility on
the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or damaged; and
(b) when otherwise required under the terms of any financing
program agreed to in writing by Reseller and Administrative Agents.
Any third party discount, rebate, subsidy, bonus or credit granted
to Reseller for any Collateral will not reduce the Loan Obligations
until Administrative Agents have received payment as provided in
this Agreement.
|
22
6.3.1. Voluntary Prepayments
. Subject to the limitations in the
following sentences, except for mandatory prepayments and funds
received by Administrative Agents as contemplated by
Section 6.1 , Reseller may wholly prepay any Loan that
is included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan or the Swingline Loan,
or prepay any Floorplan Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan, at any time
and may make a partial prepayment thereon from time to time,
without penalty or premium if Reseller pays any amount that is due
as a consequence of the prepayment as otherwise provided for in
this Agreement. All such prepayments, unless otherwise expressly
stated in writing by Reseller to Administrative Agents prior to the
making of such prepayment, will be deemed made on the Swingline
Loan until it is reduced to zero, thereafter to the Aggregate
Revolving Loan until it is reduced to zero, and thereafter to the
Interim Floorplan Loan if due until it is reduced to zero,
thereafter to the Aggregate Floorplan Loan if due until it is
reduced to zero, and (with, in each case, the payment of any and
all penalties and premiums due hereunder in connection therewith),
and will be applied by Lenders to reduce the Revolving Loans and
the Floorplan Loans, as appropriate, in accordance with their
respective Pro-Rata Shares.
6.3.2. Mandatory Prepayments.
6.3.2.1. Revolving Loans/Extended Pay
Outstandings. If at any
time the Aggregate Revolving Loans plus Swingline Loans exceed the
Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount (which can be a negative
number), whether as a result of optional Swingline Advances made by
Administrative Agents as contemplated by Section 3.3.3 ,
Extended Pay Outstandings or otherwise, Reseller shall on demand by
Administrative Agents in their discretion (or Administrative Agents
shall as directed by Required Lenders), make a payment in the
amount of the difference to Administrative Agents for the account
of Administrative Agents on the Swingline Loan and Lenders on the
Aggregate Revolving Loans, including any Extended Pay Outstandings.
Each such prepayment will be applied by Administrative Agents and
Lenders first to reduce the Swingline Loan until it is reduced to
zero, then to reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loans, including any
Extended Pay Outstandings (and consequently a ratable portion of
each Lender’s Revolving Loans).
6.3.2.2. Floorplan Loan Facility.
On any date that the Interim
Floorplan Loans plus the Aggregate Floorplan Loans exceed the
Floorplan Loan Maximum Available Amount, then Reseller shall, on
such date, after demand by Administrative Agent in its discretion
(or Administrative Agents shall as directed by Required Lenders),
pay such excess to Administrative Agents for the pro-rata benefit
of Lenders and failure to pay such excess on such date shall be an
immediate Event of Default.
6.3.3. Other Mandatory
Prepayments.
6.3.3.1. Proceeds from Sales of
Assets . If any Covered
Person sells any of its assets in a single transaction or related
series of transactions that are not in the ordinary course of
business, Reseller shall make a payment to Administrative Agents
for the benefit of Lenders in the amount of the gross proceeds
therefrom less the sum of (a) (i) all amounts paid to the
holders of Indebtedness secured by Permitted Encumbrances that have
a first priority security position, (ii) reasonable selling
expenses and (iii) the increment in federal, state and local
income Taxes, if any, and applicable transfer Taxes, if any,
payable as a consequence of such sale. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Reseller need not make such prepayment unless the net
proceeds from such sale or sales exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate
in any calendar year, in the aggregate for all Covered Persons, and
(b) none of the proceeds from the sale or sales of
Reseller’s membership interest in Eyak shall be payable to
Administrative Agents as provided above in this
Section 6.3.3.1 .
23
6.3.3.2. Proceeds from Sale of Securities or
Indebtedness . If after
the Execution Date, Reseller issues any equity (except equity
issued in connection with stock splits or options listed or
referenced on Disclosure Schedule 6.3.3.2 , or
dividends payable in stock) or debt securities, or warrants or
options therefor, or otherwise incur any Indebtedness other than
Permitted Indebtedness, Reseller shall promptly, but in any event
within two Business Days after such sale, make a payment to
Administrative Agents for the benefit of Lenders, based on each
Lender’s Pro-Rata Share, to be applied to the Loan
Obligations, in an aggregate amount equal to the gross proceeds
therefrom less reasonable brokers’ and underwriters’
fees and commissions and other reasonable issuing
expenses.
6.3.3.3. Insurance Proceeds
. All Insurance Proceeds shall be
applied by Administrative Agents to the Loan
Obligations.
Every
prepayment under this Section that is required to be applied to
reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan shall be distributed by
Administrative Agents to Lenders in accordance with their Pro-Rata
Shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility and applied by
Lenders to reduce their Revolving Loans in accordance with their
respective Pro-Rata Shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan
Facility. If application to the Revolving Loans of any prepayment
required under this Section reduces the Revolving Loans (and
consequently the Aggregate Revolving Loan) to zero, then unless
otherwise agreed among Reseller and Administrative Agents, the
remaining amount of such prepayment shall be applied by Lenders to
reduce the Floorplan Loans then due and payable under the
applicable Transaction Statement to zero (and consequently the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan); thereafter any remaining funds shall be
remitted to Reseller.

6.4.
|

Reimbursement Obligations of
Reseller .
Reseller hereby unconditionally agrees to immediately pay to Letter
of Credit Issuer on demand at Letter of Credit Issuer’s
Applicable Lending Office all amounts required to pay all drafts
drawn under Letters of Credit issued for the account of Reseller
and all reasonable expenses incurred by Letter of Credit Issuer in
connection with such Letters of Credit and in any event and without
demand to remit to Letter of Credit Issuer (which may be through
obtaining Advances if permitted under Section 3.1 )
sufficient funds to pay all debts and liabilities arising under any
Letter of Credit issued for the account of such
Reseller.

set-off or counterclaim. All such payments will be distributed by
Administrative Agents to Lenders as provided in

the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day when received.
Reseller will also pay to Administrative Agents, for their own
account, such fees as Administrative Agents generally charge their
customers for each check returned unpaid for insufficient funds (an
“NSF CHECK”) (such payment repays Administrative
Agents’ estimated administrative costs; it does not waive any
Default or Event of Default caused by the NSF check).
24
6.5.3. Interest Calculation
. Interest shall begin accruing, and
be owing and payable on an Advance on the day such Advance is made
by a Lender to Administrative Agents. Section 6.5.2
notwithstanding, for purposes of interest calculation only,
(a) a payment by check, draft or other instrument received at
or before 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be
deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the
second following Business Day, (b) a payment by check, draft
or other instrument received on a day that is not a Business Day or
after 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be
deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the
third following Business Day, (c) a payment by ACH (Automatic
Clearing House) received at or before 8:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a
Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant
Loan Obligation on the Business Day when it is received, (d) a

after 8:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to
have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the following
Business Day following the date of receipt, (e) a payment in
cash received at or before 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a
Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant
Loan Obligation on the Business Day when it is received, (f) a
payment in cash received on a day that is not a Business Day or
after 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be
deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the
next Business Day following receipt, (g) a payment by wire
transfer received at or before 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a
Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant
Loan Obligation on the Business Day received, (h) a payment in
cash or by wire transfer received on a day that is not a Business
Day or after 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall
be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on
the Business Day following receipt, (i) a payment received in
the Lockboxes at or before 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a
Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant
Loan Obligation on the next Business Day following receipt, and
(j) a payment received in the Lockboxes on a day that is not a
Business Day or after 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business
Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan
Obligation on the second Business Day following receipt. Payments
on the Aggregate Floorplan Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan that are
funded by Revolving Loan Advances shall be deemed to be made on the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan for interest
calculation purposes on the day made.

6.6.
|
|
Returned Instruments
. If a payment is made
by ACH, check, draft or other instrument and the ACH item, check,
draft or other instrument is returned unpaid, any application of
the payment to the Loan Obligations will be reversed and will be
treated as never having been made.
|
25
|
|
6.7.
|
|
Compelled Return of Payments or
Proceeds . If
an Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled
to surrender any payment or any proceeds of the Collateral because
such payment or the application of such proceeds is for any reason
invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, or determined to be
void or voidable as a preference, an impermissible setoff, or a
diversion of trust funds, then this Agreement and the Loan
Obligations to which such payment or proceeds was applied or
intended to be applied shall be revived as if such application was
never made; and Reseller shall be liable to pay to such
Administrative Agent or such Lender, and shall indemnify such
Administrative Agent or such Lender for and hold such
Administrative Agent or such Lender harmless from any loss with
respect to, the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered.
This Section shall be effective notwithstanding any contrary action
that such Administrative Agent or such Lender may take in reliance
upon its receipt of any such payment or proceeds. Any such contrary
action so taken by such Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
be without prejudice to such Administrative Agent or such
Lender’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to
have been conditioned upon the application of such payment or
proceeds having become final and indefeasible. The provisions of
this Section shall survive termination of the Facilities and the
indefeasible payment and satisfaction of all of the Loan
Obligations.

Initial Advance
. Reseller,
Administrative Agents and Lenders further acknowledge and agree
that with respect to the initial Advance issued to repay all
Indebtedness owed under the Credit Agreement, dated as of
June 2, 2006 (as amended), among Reseller, the Persons party
thereto as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto as
lenders, SunTrust Bank as issuing bank, co-collateral agent and
administrative agent and Bank of America, N.A. as co-collateral
agent and syndicating agent, as amended, (the “ Initial
Advance ”), such Initial Advance shall be deemed to be a

subsequent Revolving Loan Advances at any time, but not more often
than once each Business Day, by submitting a request therefor to
Administrative Agents as provided in Section 7.13 . All
requests for a Revolving Loan Advance must be submitted by
Reseller. Administrative Agents may treat every request for a
Revolving Loan Advance as a request for a Swingline Advance to the
extent the requested amount does not exceed the Maximum Swingline
Amount and as a request for a Revolving Loan Advance in the amount
of the excess. Every request for a Revolving Loan Advance shall be
irrevocable. A request for a Revolving Loan Advance received by
Administrative Agents on a day that is not a Business Day or that
is received by Administrative Agents after 9:30 a.m. (Local Time)
on a Business Day shall be treated as having been received by
Administrative Agents at 9:30 a.m. (Local Time) on the next
Business Day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7.3.
|
|
Floorplan Loan Advances
. CPC may treat every
request for a Floorplan Loan Advance as a request for an Interim
Floorplan Loan Advance to the extent the requested amount does not
exceed the Interim Floorplan Loan Facility and as a request for a
Floorplan Loan Advance in the amount of the excess (to the extent
the requested amount does not exceed the Floorplan Loan Maximum
Available Amount when added to the Aggregate Floorplan Loans and
the Interim Floorplan Loans).
|
26
|
|
7.4.
|
|
Repayment of the Swingline Loan and
the Interim Floorplan Loan.
|
7.4.1. CPC may in its absolute discretion on any
Business Day give notice to Lenders of the amount of the Swingline
Loan or Interim Floorplan Loan after application of all payments to
be applied thereto as provided elsewhere herein. Such notice shall
be given no later than Noon (Local Time) and may include a demand
that the Swingline Loan or the Interim Floorplan Loan be fully
paid. If CPC demands that the Swingline Loan or the Interim
Floorplan Loan be fully paid, then prior to 1:00 p.m. (Local Time)
on such date, Lenders shall remit funds to CPC sufficient to reduce
the Swingline Loan or the Interim Floorplan Loan to zero. The
aggregate of such remittances shall be treated, respectively, as a
Revolving Loan Advance and the Aggregate Revolving Loan increased
accordingly (in the case of payments on the Swingline Loan) and as
a Floorplan Loan Advance and the Aggregate Floorplan Loan increased
accordingly (in the case of payments on the Interim Floorplan
Loan). Each such remittance by a Lender shall be made in accordance
with its Pro-Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility or
the Floorplan Loan Facility and shall be made notwithstanding that
(a) the amount of the aggregate of such remittances by Lenders
may not be in the minimum amount for Revolving Loan Advances
otherwise required hereunder, (b) any conditions to Advances
in Section 10 may not be then satisfied, (c) there
is an Existing Default, (d) the aggregate amount of such
remittances by Lenders would result in the Aggregate Revolving Loan
exceeding the Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount, or
(e) such remittances by Lenders may be made after the
Termination Date; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Lender be required to make any such remittance that would result in
the sum of (i) the Revolving Loan of such Lender, plus
(ii) such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of the Letter of
Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Loan
Facility.
7.4.2. If for any reason, including the commencement of
a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to Reseller, remittances by
Lenders as provided above cannot be made on the date otherwise
required above, then each Lender shall be deemed automatically to
have purchased from CPC as of such date an undivided interest and
participation in the Swingline Loan and the Interim Floorplan Loan
equal to such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share, so as to cause such
Lender to share in the Swingline Loan and the Interim Floorplan
Loan in accordance with its Pro-Rata Share. Each Lender shall remit
its Pro-Rata Share of the Swingline Loan and the Interim Floorplan
Loan to CPC promptly on demand. All interest payable with respect
to such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of the Swingline Loan and the
Interim Floorplan Loan shall be for the account of CPC to the date
such remittance is made, and shall be for the account of and
remitted by CPC to such Lender (except in the case of the Floorplan
Loan, at the rate designated in Section 4.5 with
respect to CPC and the other Lenders) as a participant from such
date. Further, until such remittance is made, such Lender shall pay
to CPC, on demand, interest on such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share
of the Swingline Loan and the Floorplan Loan at the Federal Funds
Rate, and such Lender shall be subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 7.8 .

Administrative Agents’ Right
to Make Other Certain Advances.
|
7.6.1. Payment of Loan Obligations
. Administrative Agents shall have
the right to make Revolving Loan Advances at any time and from time
to time to cause timely payment of any of the Loan Obligations,
including to pay interest or principal on the Swingline Loan, the
Interim Floorplan Loan, the Aggregate Floorplan Loan and the
Aggregate Revolving Loan, and to pay any fees owing to Lenders or
Administrative Agents; provided , however, with respect to
third party fees, if there is no Existing Default, Administrative
Agents shall use their reasonable efforts to give prior notice to
Reseller of the payment of any such fees from an Advance (but shall
have no liability for their failure to notify Reseller, and any
such failure shall not give rise to a claim or cause of action by
Reseller against either Administrative Agent or any Lender). If
there is no Existing Default, Administrative Agents shall use
reasonable efforts to notify Reseller (but shall have no liability
for their failure to notify Reseller and such failure shall not
give rise to a claim or cause of action by Reseller against either
Administrative Agent or any Lender) on the day it makes any payment
or pays any interest owing hereunder or any fees owing to Lenders
or Administrative Agents. Administrative Agents may select the
Advance Date for any such Advance, but such Advance Date may only
be a Business Day. Administrative Agents will use reasonable
efforts to promptly give notice to Reseller after any such Advance
is made, but failure to give such notice shall not give rise to any
liability on the part of either Administrative Agent or any
Lender.
27
7.6.2. Payments to Other Creditors
. Subject to
Section 19.1 , if Administrative Agents become
obligated to reimburse or pay to any creditor of Reseller any
amount to obtain a release of such creditor’s Security
Interest in any of the Collateral, other than Permitted Security
Interests, then Administrative Agents shall have the right (but
shall have no obligation) to make Advances for that purpose.
Administrative Agents may select the Advance Date for any such
Advance, but such Advance Date may only be a Business
Day.
7.7.1. Advances . Other than if a Swingline Advance will be made
by CPC or Interim Floorplan Loan Advance will be made by CPC, not
later than 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on each Advance Date for a
Floorplan Loan Advance or Revolving Loan Advance, Administrative
Agents shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of the
Floorplan Loan Advance or the Revolving Loan Advance to be made on
that Advance Date. In each case then, each Lender shall make
immediately available to Administrative Agents by 12:00 p.m.
(Local Time) on the Advance Date funds consisting solely of Dollars
in the amount of its Pro-Rata Share of such Floorplan Loan Advance
or Revolving Loan Advance, rounded to the nearest penny, in
accordance with such remittance instructions as may be given by
Administrative Agents to Lenders from time to time.
7.7.2. Draws on Letters of Credit
. If a draw is made on a Letter of
Credit and Reseller does not reimburse the amount of such draw in
full to Letter of Credit Issuer immediately on demand, Letter of
Credit Issuer shall promptly notify Administrative Agents of such
failure. Upon Administrative Agents’ receipt of such notice
from Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agents may notify each
Lender thereof and shall have the right to cause a Revolving Loan
Advance to be made, regardless whether such Revolving Loan Advance
would result in the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the
Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount or regardless as to whether
there is an Existing Default, by notifying each Lender of the draw,
the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance required to fund
reimbursement of such draw, and the amount of such Lender’s
ratable share of such Revolving Loan Advance. The Advance Date and
time for such Revolving Loan Advance shall not be later than
12:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the first Business Day following
Administrative Agents’ delivery of such notice to Lenders. By
no later than such Advance Date and time, each Lender shall make
immediately available to Administrative Agents funds consisting
solely of Dollars in the amount of its Pro-Rata Share of such
Revolving Loan Advance, rounded to the nearest penny, in accordance
with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative
Agents to each Lender from time to time.
7.7.3. All Fundings Ratable
. All fundings of Advances (other
than Swingline Advances and Interim Floorplan Loan Advances) shall
be made by Lenders as provided herein in accordance with their
Pro-Rata Shares of the respective Aggregate Facilities, as
applicable. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a Lender
shall not be obligated to fund Revolving Loan Advances that would
result in such Lender’s Revolving Loan plus such
Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Exposure
exceeding its Revolving Loan Facility, fund Floorplan Loan Advances
that would result in its Floorplan Loan exceeding its Floorplan
Loan Facility or make available any more than its Pro-Rata Share of
any Advance.

Administrative Agents’
Availability Assumption.
|
7.8.1. Unless Administrative Agents have been given
written notice by a Lender prior to an Advance Date that such
Lender does not intend to make immediately available to
Administrative Agents such Lender’s Pro-Rata Share of the
Advance which Administrative Agents may be obligated to make on the
Advance Date, including any Advance that may be made based on the
issuance of an Approval, Administrative Agents may assume that such
Lender has made the required amount available to Administrative
Agents on the Advance Date and Administrative Agents may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to Reseller a
corresponding amount. Failure of any Lender to make immediately
available its Pro-Rata Share of any Advance of the Swingline Loan,
any Floorplan Loan (whether based on the issuance of an Approval or
otherwise), the Interim Floorplan Loan (whether based on the
issuance of an Approval or otherwise), any Revolving Loan or any
other amount then owing hereunder by a Lender upon demand shall
make such Lender a “DEFAULTING LENDER”. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made immediately available to
Administrative Agents by such Defaulting Lender on the Advance
Date, Administrative Agents shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender. If such
Defaulting Lender does not pay such corresponding amount
immediately upon Administrative Agents’ demand therefor, then
Administrative Agents shall promptly notify Reseller and the other
Lenders and Reseller shall pay such corresponding amount to
Administrative Agents within one (1) Business Day.
Administrative Agents shall also be entitled to recover, either
from such Defaulting Lender or Reseller, interest on such
corresponding amount for each day from the date such corresponding
amount was made available by Administrative Agents to Reseller to
the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative
Agents, at a rate per annum equal to either (a) if paid by
such Lender, the cost to Administrative Agents of funding such
amount at the Federal Funds Rate, or (b) if paid by Reseller,
the applicable rate for the Advance in question determined from the
request therefor. Each Lender shall be obligated only to fund its
Pro-Rata Share of an Advance subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, regardless of the failure of another Lender to fund its
Pro-Rata Share thereof.
7.8.2. Each remittance or payment or Advance required
to be made by a Lender shall be made in accordance with its
Pro-Rata Share and shall be made notwithstanding that (a) the
amount of the aggregate of such remittances by Lenders may not be
in the minimum amount for Revolving Loan Advances or Floorplan Loan
Advances or otherwise required hereunder, (b) any conditions
to Advances in Section 10 may not be then satisfied,
(c) there is an Existing Default, (d) the aggregate amount of
such remittances by Lenders would result in the Aggregate Revolving
Loan exceeding the Revolving Loan Maximum Available Amount, or the
aggregate amount of such remittances by Lenders would result in the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan plus the Interim Floorplan Loan
exceeding the value of the Collateral advanced against thereunder
or the Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility, or (e) such
remittances by Lenders may be made after the effective date of
termination of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Facility or the
Aggregate Floorplan Loan Facility, as the case may be; provided,
however, that in no event shall any Lender be required to make any
such remittance that would result in the Revolving Loan of such
Lender exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Loan Facility or the
Floorplan Loan of such Lender exceeding such Lender’s
Floorplan Loan Facility.
29
7.8.3. In addition, with respect to any Defaulting
Lender, until a payment or Advance is paid to Administrative Agents
(with interest as described above), (a) such Defaulting Lender
shall permit Administrative Agents the unconditional and
irrevocable right of setoff against any amounts (including payments
of principal, interest, and fees, as well as indemnity payments)
received by Administrative Agents hereunder for the benefit of any
such Defaulting Lender, and (b) if such failure to pay shall
continue for a period of three Business Days, result in any such
Defaulting Lender forfeiting any right to vote on any matter that
Required Lenders or all Lenders are permitted to vote for hereunder
(and the calculation of Required Lenders shall exclude such
Defaulting Lender’s interest in Lenders’ Exposure);
provided , however, once such a failure is cured, then such
Lender shall, subsequent thereto, have all rights hereunder;
provided, further, however, if any Lender shall fail to make such a
payment within the three Business Day period specified in clause
(b) above (other than by reason of events beyond the
reasonable control of such Lender) three or more times during the
term hereof, such Lender shall permanently forfeit its right to
vote hereunder (and the calculation of Required Lenders shall
exclude such Defaulting Lender’s interest in Lenders’
Exposure).

7.9.
|
|
Disbursement
. Provided that all
conditions precedent herein to a requested Advance or, if
applicable, a Swingline Advance or Interim Floorplan Loan Advance,
have been satisfied, including with respect to any Floorplan Loan
Advance or Interim Floorplan Loan Advance and the requirements of
any agreements with any Approved Vendors, Administrative Agents

of the requested Advance have been satisfied or waived in writing
by Required Lenders, and (c) the Representations and
Warranties are then true, with such exceptions as have been

such Representations and Warranties from time to time and are
satisfactory to Required Lenders, and will be true on the Advance
Date, as applicable, as if then made with such
