     By way of example and not limitation, (a) if the Borrowers publicly release their financial reports for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 on April 25 and publicly release their financial reports for the fiscal quarter ended June 30 on August 5, then from May 1 until August 31 the Pricing Tier in effect shall be the Pricing Tier determined in accordance with the financial reports released on April 25, and (b) if the EBITDA/Interest Coverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 is greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 3.50, then during the period specified in (a) above the Borrowers would be in Pricing Tier II. If for any reason the Borrowers fail to provide the financial statements necessary to calculate the EBITDA/Interest Coverage Ratio within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, the Default Rate shall apply retroactively from the date when such necessary financial statements originally were due (without reference to such written notice from the Administrative Agent or such thirty-day period) until such necessary financial statements are provided by Borrowers.

     “ Required Lenders ” shall mean, at any time, any Lenders holding at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the sum of the Commitments, or if the Commitments have been terminated, the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances and shall also represent a majority of the number of Lenders; provided, however , that “Required Lenders” shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders with respect to any action taken or proposed to be taken by the Lenders: (a) to increase the Commitment of the Lenders or the Commitment Amount; (b) to reduce or waive payment of any principal, interest, or fees payable to the Lenders (it being agreed, however, that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, without the consent of any other Lender, may reduce or waive fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable); (c) to modify or waive compliance with any of the Borrowers’ financial covenants, or to change the manner in which such financial covenants are calculated; (d) to make any material extension of scheduled maturities or times for payment; (e) to establish or revise any Availability Reserve, to make changes in the Borrowing Base, to increase advance rates with respect to the Borrowing Base or to make changes in the types of Collateral eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base; (f) to release any Collateral or any Borrower, other than as specifically required by the terms of the

Loan Documents; (g) to sell, transfer, encumber, or release any assets needing the consent of the Required Lenders under Section 6.07; (h) to change the structure of the financing contemplated by this Agreement; (i) to change the definition of “Required Lenders”; or (j) to change the composition of the Lenders in a manner which would dilute the voting rights of any Lender, except as otherwise provided in Article IX of this Agreement.

     “ Termination Date ” shall mean May 31, 2011; provided, however , that upon the Company’s request such date may be extended for two successive periods of one year each with the prior written consent of all of the Lenders for each such annual extension.

     “ Used Inventory ” shall mean Inventory of the Borrowers that has been (a) previously sold at retail, (b) registered or titled in any state or jurisdiction, or registered as a Documented Vessel, or (c) purchased or acquired by the Borrowers from a source other than the manufacturer.

          (c) Deleted Definitions . The definitions of “ Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio ,” “ Maintenance Capital Expenditures ” (which is used solely within the definition of “Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio”), “ Total Funded Debt ,” and “ Funded Debt Ratio ” are hereby deleted from the Agreement.

      3.  Changes to Section 2.01(a) Relating to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit . Section 2.01(a) is hereby revised to read in its entirety as follows:

      2.01 Advances .

          (a) Commitment for Revolving Credit . The Lenders severally agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Advances to the Borrowers in respect of the Commitment from time to time until the Termination Date. The following rules shall govern the amount of the Advances:

               (1) The aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances may equal but shall never exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount, and (B) the Borrowing Base. For purpose of this test, any Letter of Credit outstanding under paragraph (3) below shall be deemed an Advance.

               (2) Borrowers and Lenders agree to add an accordion feature to the Commitment. Consequently, if (A) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (B) Borrowers obtain commitments from Lenders and/or other persons who would qualify as assignees for such increased amounts, (C) any new Lender suggested by Borrowers is approved by the Required Lenders, and (D) appropriate definitive loan documentation is executed and delivered by the parties, at Borrowers’ election the aggregate maximum principal amount of the Commitments may be increased from time to time after the Effective Date, provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitment Amount does not exceed five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000), (ii) each such increase shall be in a minimum amount of thirty million dollars ($30,000,000),

11


 

and with each new Lender to have a minimum commitment of at least eighteen million dollars ($18,000,000), and (iii) Borrowers shall first offer to the existing Lenders the right to commit to the increased amount, but no existing Lender shall be required to commit to any such increased amount. No such increase shall increase any sub-limit set forth in this Agreement, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any such increase.

               (3) There is hereby established a sub-limit for Letters of Credit in the aggregate amount not exceeding the LC Commitment of seven million dollars ($7,000,0000). The issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the LC Commitment shall be subject to the further terms specified in Section 2.13 of this Agreement. In connection with any outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers will accrue an annual letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the higher of (A) five hundred dollars ($500), or (B) the amount determined in accordance with Section 2.05 of this Agreement on an Advance equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The minimum Letter of Credit Fee for any Letter of Credit (irrespective of the amount or duration of such Letter of Credit) shall be five hundred dollars ($500). The accrued Letter of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on the effective date of the Letter of Credit. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, at the time of issuance of each Letter of Credit Borrowers and the Issuing Bank shall negotiate an issuance fee for such Letter of Credit to be paid at the time of issuance and to be retained by the Issuing Bank.

               (4) No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Advance in respect of the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto, the principal amount of such Lender’s total outstanding Advances would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Commitment Amount.

Because the Commitment creates a revolving credit facility, the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitment, repay such Advances without premium or penalty, and reborrow prior to the Termination Date in accordance with this Agreement.
