At the request of Borrower and as part of the Total Facility, DLL may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make Floorplan Loans to or for the account of Borrower for the purpose of financing Floorplanned Inventory proposed by Borrower to be financed pursuant to this Section 2.4 (the “Floorplan Credit Line”). At no time shall the sum of Borrower’s Obligations to DLL in respect of the Floorplan Credit Line exceed the amount specified in the Schedule. Upon receipt by DLL of an invoice for Floorplanned Inventory from Borrower or the Vendor of such Floorplanned Inventory, which invoice is acceptable to DLL in its Permitted Discretion, DLL shall, if it elects to finance such Floorplanned Inventory, make a Floorplan Loan to Borrower in an amount not to exceed (subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement) the cost, as reflected on the Vendor’s invoice, of such Floorplanned Inventory, including freight. DLL may, in its Permitted Discretion, refuse to make a Floorplan Loan against any invoice. If DLL elects to make a Floorplan Loan, DLL may disburse the proceeds of such Floorplan Loan, less the amount of any discount agreed to between DLL and the Vendor of the Floorplanned Inventory, directly to such Vendor on Borrower’s behalf in accordance with the payment arrangement then in effect between DLL and such Vendor. DLL will charge Borrower’s loan account for the full amount of the Floorplan Loan without regard to any discount that DLL may be entitled to receive pursuant to any payment arrangement referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The Floorplan Credit Line is an uncommitted line of credit, may be terminated in whole or in part by DLL, in its Permitted Discretion, at any time and, upon such termination, no further Floorplan Loans shall be available from DLL.

2.5 Loan Account. All advances made hereunder, including without limitation all Loans and any and all Overloans, shall be added to and deemed part of the Obligations when made and shall be secured by the Collateral. DLL may from time to time charge all Obligations of Borrower when due to Borrower’s loan account with DLL.

2.6 Interest; Fees.

(a) Revolving Credit Line. Borrower shall pay DLL interest on the daily outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans at the per annum rates and at the times set forth in the Schedule and the Secured Revolving Credit Note, as applicable. Borrower shall also pay DLL the fees at the rates and/or in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Schedule.

(b) Floorplan Credit Line. If Borrower fails to repay any Floorplan Loan on the applicable Due Date, Borrower shall pay DLL interest on the daily amount past due at the applicable per annum rate set forth in the Schedule. In addition, in the event that DLL elects to make advances under the Floorplan Credit Line which are not subsidized by the Vendor, any such non-subsidized Floorplan Loan will bear interest from the date such Floorplan Loan is made until the applicable Due Date at the applicable per annum rate set forth in the Schedule. All such interest accruing from time to time with respect to any Floorplan Loan shall be payable upon demand of DLL, or if not sooner demanded by DLL, upon the next regularly scheduled interest payment date for interest on the Revolving Credit Loans as specified in the Schedule.

(c) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

2.7 Default Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay DLL interest on the daily outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans and any other Obligations that are outstanding at a rate per annum which is three percentage points (3.0%) in excess of the rate which would otherwise be applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to the Schedule (the “Default Rate”). All such default interest shall be payable upon the earlier of demand by DLL or on the next regularly scheduled interest payment date for interest on the Revolving Credit Loans as specified in the Schedule.

2.8 Examination Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to DLL an Examination Fee in the amount set forth in the Schedule in connection with each audit or examination of Borrower performed by DLL prior to or after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to DLL an initial Examination Fee in an amount equal to the amount set forth on the Schedule. Such initial Examination Fee shall be deemed fully earned at the time of payment and due and payable upon the closing of this transaction, and shall be deducted from any good faith deposit paid by Borrower to DLL prior to the date of this Agreement.

2.9 Excess Interest. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige Borrower or any Guarantor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to DLL in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by DLL of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by DLL of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary) (i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.9 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the Term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by DLL shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

2.10 Principal Payments; Proceeds of Collateral.

(a) Principal Payments on Revolving Credit Loans and Floorplan Loans. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by Borrower to DLL specifically containing payment provisions which are in conflict with this Section 2.10(a) (in which event the conflicting provisions of said notes or other instruments shall govern and control), that portion of the Obligations consisting of principal payable on account of Revolving Credit Loans and Floorplan Loans shall be payable by Borrower to DLL immediately upon the earliest of (i) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans only, the receipt by DLL or Borrower of any proceeds of any of the Collateral, to the extent of said proceeds, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which DLL elects to accelerate the maturity and payment of such loans, (iii) any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, or (iv) in the case of any Floorplan Loan, the date that is the number of days after the invoice date for the Floorplanned Inventory purchased with the proceeds of such Floorplan Loan agreed to by DLL (acting in its Permitted Discretion and based on the payment and repurchase arrangements then in effect between DLL and the applicable Vendor) and Borrower in connection with the making of each such specific Floorplan Loan as evidenced by the transaction statement (which may be delivered by electronic transmission or email) provided to Borrower by DLL in connection with each such specific Floorplan Loan, subject to any “commonized due date” program established and made applicable to Borrower by DLL in is sole discretion (provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or otherwise in this Agreement, DLL shall provide thirty (30) days prior notice to Borrower before making any change to any of the due dates under or any other aspect of any such “commonized due date” program) under which payments that would ordinarily be due in respect of any Floorplan Loans on any particular date of a month shall instead, along with other payments that would ordinary be due on particular dates in a time period during the same month established by DLL under such commonized due date program, come due on a common due date for the administrative convenience of DLL and Borrower (e.g., and for illustrative purposes only, a commonized due date program whereby all payments on any Floorplan Loans that would otherwise come due on the 1st of any month through the 10th of such month would all come due on the 5th day of such month) and further subject to any changes in or the discontinuation of any such commonized due date program as to Borrower by DLL in its sole discretion (each, a “Due Date”), provided, however, that any Overloan shall be payable on demand (or, in the case of a Floorplan Collateral Coverage Reconciliation originally reserved against the borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Loans with the consent of DLL, immediately upon the withdrawal by DLL of such consent) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, on a case by case basis, DLL, acting in its Permitted Discretion, may agree with Borrower to extend the Due Date of any specific Floorplan Loan, on such terms and conditions as are established by DLL in its Permitted Discretion, and consented to by Borrower.

(b) [RESERVED].

(c) Collections. Borrower may make collection of all Receivables for DLL unless and until DLL shall notify Borrower to the contrary after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Unless Borrower shall be otherwise directed by DLL in writing, Borrower shall at all times direct all Account Debtors to remit all payments owing to Borrower on its customer Receivables to one or more lockboxes (each, a “Lockbox”) established with a bank or other financial institution selected by Borrower and acceptable to DLL pursuant to an arrangement with such bank or financial institution that is acceptable to DLL. Each such arrangement regarding each such Lockbox shall provide, inter alia, that all checks and payments received into such Lockbox shall be deposited on a daily basis into a related lockbox account or other “blocked account” (as DLL may require) (each, a “Blocked Account”), which such Blocked Account shall be subject to a tri-party agreement among DLL, Borrower and the applicable bank or other financial institution in form and substance acceptable to DLL which shall provide that DLL shall have exclusive authority and control over such Blocked Account and the funds deposited therein and that said bank or financial institution shall transfer funds deposited in such Blocked Account to DLL on a daily basis, either to any account maintained by DLL at said bank or financial institution or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of DLL at another bank or financial institution or otherwise as DLL may direct. In the event Borrower shall nevertheless directly receive any payments owing to Borrower on its customer Receivables, Borrower shall receive all such payments as trustee of DLL pursuant to an express trust hereunder and immediately deliver all payments to DLL in their original form as set forth below, duly endorsed in blank or cause the same to be deposited into the Blocked Accounts, and until such payments and proceeds are so deposited into a Blocked Account, Borrower shall segregate such payments and proceeds from and shall not commingle any such payments and proceeds with or in any of Borrower’s other deposit accounts or funds or monies or other assets. Alternatively, DLL may establish depository accounts in the name of DLL at the bank or other financial institution at which each Lockbox is maintained for the deposit of the checks, payment and other funds received into the Lockbox (each, a “Dominion Account”) and Borrower shall deposit all proceeds of customer Receivables or cause same to be deposited, in kind, in such Dominion Accounts of DLL in lieu of depositing same to Blocked Accounts. All funds deposited in a Blocked Account or Dominion Account shall immediately become the sole property of DLL and Borrower shall obtain the agreement by each applicable bank or financial institution to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. All funds deposited into any Blocked Account or Dominion Account, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in such order as DLL determines in its Permitted Discretion. DLL assumes no responsibility for any Lockbox, Blocked Account or Dominion Account arrangement, including without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank or financial institution thereunder. For greater certainty, at all times after that date which is ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, all payments in respect of Receivables of any Account Debtor organized or domiciled in Canada shall be directed to Canadian Lockboxes.

(d) Excess Collections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, in the event that, at any time, the funds received by DLL through the Blocked Accounts shall exceed the amount of the then-outstanding Obligations that are then due and payable, DLL shall (and Borrower hereby authorizes DLL to) retain and hold such excess funds received through the Blocked Accounts as cash collateral for the Obligations (all such funds received and held by DLL from time to time as cash collateral prior to the application thereof to the Obligations as provided for in this paragraph, the “Excess Collections”). Borrower shall not be entitled to receive interest on any such Excess Collections. Such excess funds held by DLL as cash collateral as defined in the foregoing shall be applied to the payment of future Obligations as and when such Obligations are incurred and/or become payable. Borrower hereby grants to DLL a first priority security interest and lien in any and all such excess funds held by DLL from time to time (collectively, the “Excess Cash Collateral”) to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations when due and Borrower agrees that all such Excess Cash Collateral held by DLL from time to time shall be part of the Collateral. DLL shall not be required to deposit the actual funds representing such Excess Cash Collateral into any particular deposit account maintained specifically for the benefit of Borrower and/or to otherwise segregate or maintain such funds separately from DLL’s other funds and assets and may instead commingle all such Excess Cash Collateral held by DLL for the benefit of Borrower with DLL’s other funds and assets (including by depositing any and all funds representing such Excess Cash Collateral into DLL’s general operating deposit accounts and/or other deposit accounts or securities accounts). For avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, DLL shall have the immediate right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion, to apply any and all Excess Cash Collateral held by DLL for Borrower’s account to the repayment of any and all then-outstanding and owing Obligations.

(e) Payments Without Deductions. Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

(f) Collection Days Upon Repayment; Time of Payments. Any payments made by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Obligations owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation any payments made with the collections and payments and proceeds on any of Receivables or other Collateral as provided for in Sections 2.10(c) above, shall be credited (conditioned upon final collection) to Borrower’s loan account within the number of days referenced in the Schedule after DLL’s receipt thereof. Any payments received by DLL after 1:00 PM Toronto time on any Business Day or at any time on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day. DLL is not however required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any uncollected payment which is unsatisfactory to DLL in its Permitted Discretion and DLL may charge Borrower’s loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to DLL unpaid.

(g) Monthly Accountings, Floorplan Loan Transaction Statements. DLL shall provide Borrower monthly with an account of advances, charges, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such account shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and DLL and an account stated (subject to final collection of all payments received and except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by DLL), unless Borrower notifies DLL in writing to the contrary within forty-five (45) days after each account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.

In addition, DLL shall also provide Borrower promptly after making each Floorplan Loan to Borrower with a transaction statement (which may be delivered by electronic transmission or email) for each such specific Floorplan Loan, which statement shall, inter alia, list the amount of such specific Floorplan Loan, the number of days after the invoice date for the Floorplanned Inventory purchased with the proceeds of such Floorplan Loan after which repayment of such Floorplan Loan shall be due (subject to any commonized due date program applicable to DLL as described in Section 2.10(a) above). Such transaction statement with respect to each such specific Floorplan Loan, including the terms regarding due dates and/or interest rates applicable to such specific Floorplan Loan, shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and DLL unless Borrower notifies DLL in writing to the contrary within five (5) days after such transaction statement is provided by DLL to Borrower describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.

2.11 [RESERVED].

2.12 Receivables.

(a) Eligibility. (i) Borrower represents and warrants that as of the date of the issuance of the invoice for each Receivable and also as of the date any such Receivable is reported to DLL as an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable covers and shall cover a bona fide sale or lease and delivery by Borrower of goods or a bona fide rendition by Borrower of services, in each case in the ordinary course of its business, and shall be for a liquidated amount and shall not be subject to any offset, deduction, or counterclaim, or any rights of return or cancellation (other than rights of return and cancellation granted to customers in the ordinary course of business), or any lien (except for DLL’s security interest) or other condition. If any representation or warranty herein is breached as to any Receivable or any Receivable ceases to be an Eligible Receivable for any reason other than payment thereof, then DLL may, in addition to its other rights hereunder, and without limiting the generality of the first sentence of the definitions of Eligible Receivables or (if applicable) Eligible Inventory, designate any and all Receivables owing by that Account Debtor as Receivables that are not Eligible Receivables; provided, that DLL shall in any such event retain its security interest in all Receivables, whether or not Eligible Receivables, until the Obligations have been fully satisfied and DLL’s obligation to provide loans hereunder has terminated. If prior to the date of providing the next Borrowing Base Certificate due and required under this Agreement, Borrower becomes aware of any matter adversely affecting any one or more Receivable(s) which have previously been reported to DLL as Eligible Receivables, including information affecting the credit of the Account Debtor thereon, Borrower shall promptly notify DLL in writing if the adverse effect on such Receivable would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) DLL at any and all times shall be entitled in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion to (i) establish and increase or decrease the Loan Reserves against the Revolving Credit Borrowing Base Amount as provided for in the definition of Loan Reserves and/or as otherwise provided for in the Agreement, (ii) reduce the advance rates in the Schedule or restore such advance rates to any level equal to or below the advance rates set forth in the Schedule or (iii) without limiting the generality of the first sentence of the definition of Eligible Receivables or the first sentence of the definition of Eligible Inventory (if applicable), impose additional restrictions (or eliminate the same) for or tighten or make more restrictive any standards of eligibility set forth in the definitions of “Eligible Receivables” and “Eligible Inventory” (if applicable) contained in the Schedule. DLL may but shall not be required to rely on the schedules and/or reports delivered to DLL in connection herewith in determining the then eligibility of Receivables and Inventory. Reliance thereon by DLL from time to time shall not be deemed to limit the right of DLL to revise advance rates or standards of eligibility as provided above.

(b) Disputes. If prior to the date of providing the next Borrowing Base Certificate due and required under this Agreement, Borrower becomes aware of a dispute or claims with respect to any one or more Receivable(s) which have previously been reported to DLL as Eligible Receivables, Borrower shall notify DLL promptly of all such disputes or claims with respect to any such Receivable(s) if the failure of the Account Debtor to pay such Receivable(s) as a result of such dispute would have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any Receivable that becomes subject to any such dispute or claim, Borrower shall settle or adjust such disputes or claims at no expense to DLL, but no discount, credit or allowance shall be granted to any Account Debtor and no returns of merchandise shall be accepted by Borrower without DLL’s consent, except for discounts, credits and allowances made or given and returns accepted in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. DLL may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which DLL considers advisable in its reasonable credit judgment and, in all cases, DLL shall credit Borrower’s loan account with only the net amounts received by DLL in payment of any Receivables.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1 Examination of Records; Financial Reporting.

(a) Examinations. DLL, and any agents or auditors retained by DLL, shall at all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (except that no such notice shall be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) have full access to and the right to examine, audit, make abstracts and copies from and inspect Borrower’s records, files, books of account and all other documents, instruments and agreements relating to the Collateral and full access to Borrower’s business locations and the right to examine, audit, inspect check, test and appraise the Collateral. Borrower shall deliver to DLL any instrument necessary for DLL to obtain records from any service bureau maintaining records for Borrower. All instruments and certificates prepared by Borrower showing the value of any of the Collateral shall be accompanied, upon DLL’s request, by copies of related purchase orders and invoices. DLL may, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, remove from Borrower’s premises Borrower’s books and records (or copies thereof) or require Borrower to deliver such books and records or copies to DLL. If originals are removed, DLL shall permit Borrower to make copies prior to such removal. Subject to any limitations on Borrower’s liability for Examination Fees set forth on the Schedule, DLL may, without expense to DLL, use Borrower’s personnel, supplies and premises as may be reasonably necessary for auditing or examining the Collateral or for maintaining or enforcing DLL’s security interest.

(b) Reporting Requirements. Borrower shall furnish DLL, upon reasonable request, such information and statements as DLL shall request from time to time regarding Borrower’s business affairs, financial condition and the results of its operations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall provide DLL with all information and reports required under the Schedule.

(c) Guarantor’s Financial Statements and Tax Returns. If any of the Loans are guaranteed, Borrower shall cause each of the Guarantors to deliver to DLL such Guarantor’s signed annual financial statement (in form acceptable to DLL) and a copy of such Guarantor’s federal income tax return with respect to the corresponding year, in each case on the date when such tax return is due or, if earlier, on the date when available. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the case of any Guarantor that is not an individual, if DLL shall so require, Borrower shall cause each of the Guarantors to deliver to DLL such Guarantor’s annual audited financial statements for such Borrower within ninety (90) days after the end of each of such Guarantor’s fiscal years.

(d) Confidentiality. DLL agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives on a confidential basis, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over DLL, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (v) to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement on a confidential basis, (vi) with the consent of Borrower or (vii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to DLL or any of its affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to DLL on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information

9.2 Term; Termination.

(a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the Schedule (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

(b) [RESERVED].

(c) Payment in Full. Upon the effective date of termination, the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable in full in cash.

(d) Early Termination. Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Term but only upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice and prepayment of the Obligations.

9.3 Certain Waivers. All Obligations shall be payable by Borrower as provided for herein and, in full, at the termination of this Agreement. Borrower waives presentment and protest of any instrument and notice thereof, notice of default and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all other notices to which Borrower might otherwise be entitled.

9.4 No Waiver by DLL. Neither DLL’s failure to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any supplement, the Loan Documents or other agreement between DLL and Borrower nor any delay by DLL in exercising the same shall operate as a waiver. An Event of Default shall exist or continue or be continuing until such Event of Default is waived in writing by DLL as herein provided. No waiver by DLL shall be effective unless in writing and then only to the extent stated. No waiver by DLL shall affect its right to otherwise require strict performance of this Agreement either at such time or in the future. DLL’s rights and remedies, whether arising hereunder, under any other Loan Document or otherwise at law or in equity and whether against Borrower, any Guarantor (if any) or any other Person liable for the Obligations, and/or any of their assets (including the Collateral), or any Subordinating Creditor (if any), shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and DLL may exercise, or forebear from exercising, any one or more of such rights or remedies against any one or more of such Persons or their assets in such order and at such times as DLL shall determine in the exercise of its sole discretion.

9.5 Binding on Successor and Assigns. All terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties hereof and of the Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and bind DLL’s and Borrower’s respective representatives, successors and assigns.

9.6 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.7 Amendments; Assignments. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and DLL. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any of Borrower’s obligations, rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. Borrower hereby consents to DLL’s participation, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time or times if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, or of any portion hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, DLL’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder and without limiting the generality of Section 9.1(d) above, in connection therewith, DLL may disclose all documents and information which DLL now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower or Borrower’s business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, DLL may not participate, sell, assign or transfer or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Borrower’s prior written consent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) and DLL will not make disclosures regarding this Agreement and the other Loan Document to any such potential participant, buyer, assignee or transferee without Borrower’s prior written consent (which such consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed). To the extent that DLL assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to a third party, DLL shall thereafter be released from such assigned obligations to Borrower and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and such third party.

9.8 Integration. This Agreement, together with the Schedule (which is a part hereof) and the other Loan Documents, reflect the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.9 Survival. All of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Agreement by the parties. No termination of this Agreement or of any guaranty of the Obligations shall affect or impair the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2, 9.13 or 9.24 or any other provision hereof or any Loan Documents providing for the payment by Borrower of DLL’s costs and expenses or indemnification by Borrower of DLL and all such provisions shall survive any such termination.

9.10 Evidence of Obligations. Each Obligation may, in DLL’s Permitted Discretion, be evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by Borrower to DLL. If not so evidenced, such Obligation shall be evidenced solely by entries upon DLL’s books and records.

9.11 Loan Requests. Each oral or written request for a loan by any Person who purports to be any employee, officer or authorized agent of Borrower shall be made to DLL on or prior to 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the Business Day on which the proceeds thereof are requested to be paid to Borrower and shall be conclusively presumed to be made by a Person authorized by Borrower to do so and the crediting of a loan to Borrower’s operating account shall conclusively establish Borrower’s obligation to repay such loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the coming due of any payment under this Agreement, whether for principal (including required payments of principal on Floorplan Loans), interest, fees, costs and expenses of DLL or otherwise, at the sole option of DLL, may be deemed to be an automatic request by Borrower for a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such payment due, and DLL, in its sole option, may make such Revolving Credit Loan and use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan to satisfy such payment due regardless of whether the conditions otherwise required by the making of a Revolving Credit Loan under Section 4.1 or 4.2 have been satisfied and regardless of whether the total outstanding balance of all Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan) would exceed any dollar or percentage limitation otherwise applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, including the Revolving Credit Borrowing Base Amount, the Revolving Credit Limit, the amount of the Total Facility or the amount of the Combined Facility. Unless and until Borrower otherwise directs DLL in writing, all loans shall be wired to Borrower’s operating account set forth on the Schedule.

9.12 Notices. Any written notice, consent or other communication provided for in this Agreement shall be delivered personally (effective upon delivery), via facsimile (effective upon confirmation of transmission), via overnight courier (effective upon delivery) or via certified or registered mail (effective upon delivery) to each party at its address(es) and/or facsimile number(s) set forth below its signature, or to such other address as either party shall specify to the other in writing from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Borrower and DLL agree that the transaction statement for each Floorplan Loan described under Section 2.10(g) above for each such Floorplan Loan, may at the option of DLL be delivered by DLL to Borrower via electronic transmission or email (effective upon transmission) at such addresses for electronic transmission or email as Borrower shall specify to DLL from time to time.

9.13 Brokerage Fees. Borrower represents and warrants to DLL that, with respect to the financing transaction herein contemplated, no Person is entitled to any brokerage fee or other commission and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold DLL harmless against any and all such claims.

9.14 Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement, or in any financial statement, report, certificate or any other document furnished in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

9.15 Publicity. Upon receipt of Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), DLL is hereby authorized to issue appropriate press releases and to cause a tombstone to be published announcing the consummation of this transaction and the aggregate amount thereof.

9.16 Captions. The Section titles contained in this Agreement are without substantive meaning and are not part of this Agreement.

9.17 Injunctive Relief. Borrower recognizes that, in the event Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to DLL. Therefore, DLL, if it so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

9.18 Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, admissible into evidence. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

9.19 Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.

9.20 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance by Borrower of the Obligations set forth in this Agreement.

9.21 [RESERVED].

9.22 Liability. Neither DLL nor any DLL Affiliate shall be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to this Agreement or the Obligations or the establishment, administration or collection thereof (including without limitation damages for loss of profits, business interruption, or the like), whether such damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, even if DLL has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Neither DLL, nor any DLL Affiliate shall be liable for any claims, demands, losses or damages, of any kind whatsoever, made, claimed, incurred or suffered by the Borrower through the ordinary negligence of DLL, or any DLL Affiliate. “DLL Affiliate” shall mean DLL’s directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or other person or entity affiliated with or representing DLL.

9.23 [RESERVED].

9.24 Withholding and Other Tax Liabilities. DLL shall have the right to refuse to make any advances from time to time unless Borrower shall, at DLL’s request, have given to DLL evidence, reasonably satisfactory to DLL, that Borrower has properly deposited or paid, as required by law, all withholding taxes and all federal, provincial, local or other domestic or foreign taxes due up to and including the date of the advance. Until all of Borrower’s liabilities and obligations to DLL have been paid in full (and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement), DLL shall be entitled to continue to hold any and all of the Collateral until Borrower has given to DLL evidence, reasonably satisfactory to DLL, that Borrower has properly deposited or paid, as required by law, all federal withholding taxes due up to and including the date of such expiration or termination. Copies of validated deposit slips showing payment shall likewise constitute satisfactory evidence for such purpose. In the event that any lien, assessment or tax liability against Borrower shall arise in favor of any taxing authority, whether or not notice thereof shall be filed or recorded as may be required by law, DLL shall have the right (but shall not be obligated, nor shall DLL hereby assume the duty) upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower (which notice shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability by virtue of which such charge shall have arisen; provided, however, that DLL shall not pay any such tax, assessment or lien if the amount, applicability or validity thereof is being contested by Borrower reasonably and in good faith through proper proceedings (but only so long as appropriate reserves as shall be required in conformity with GAAP have been established in respect of such contested obligations and the enforcement of such liens are effectively stayed pending the resolution of the applicable contest proceedings) and further provided that Borrower’s title to and its right to use, the Collateral are not materially adversely affected and DLL’s lien and priority in the Collateral are not affected, altered or impaired thereby. In order to pay any such lien, assessment or tax liability, DLL shall not be obliged to wait until said lien, assessment or tax liability is filed before taking such action permitted hereby. Any sum or sums which DLL shall have paid for the discharge of any such lien shall constitute an Obligation secured by the Collateral and shall be added to the Revolving Credit Loans and shall be paid by Borrower to DLL with interest thereon, upon demand, and DLL shall be subrogated to all rights of such taxing authority against Borrower. DLL may establish reserves against the Revolving Credit Borrowing Base Amount for any amounts paid by DLL pursuant to this paragraph or for any amounts being contested in good faith under this paragraph.

9.25 [RESERVED].

9.26 GOVERNING LAW; WAIVERS. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND ARISING HEREFROM (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ENFORCEMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREOF OR, AT THE SOLE OPTION OF DLL, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH DLL SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND VENUE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDINGS COMMENCED BY DLL IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS. BORROWER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS UPON IT, AND CONSENTS THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS BE MADE BY MESSENGER, CERTIFIED MAIL OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH BELOW ITS SIGNATURE HERETO AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE COMPLETED UPON ACTUAL RECEIPT. BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO COLLATERALLY ATTACK ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED AGAINST IT.

9.27 MUTUAL WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. DLL AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (i) THIS AGREEMENT; (ii) ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN DLL AND BORROWER; OR (iii) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF DLL OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH DLL OR BORROWER; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

9.28 Lien Termination. In recognition of DLL’s right to have all of its attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding the payment in full of the Obligations, DLL shall not be required to execute or record any terminations or satisfactions of any of its liens on the Collateral unless and until Borrower and all Guarantors (if any) have executed and delivered to DLL general releases of all claims, in form and substance satisfactory to DLL in its sole discretion.

9.29 Multiple Borrowers, Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person is named as the “Borrower” on the cover page hereof, or hereafter becomes a “Borrower” hereunder by means of a joinder, amendment or other modification hereto, then all references herein to “Borrower” shall be deemed to be a joint and several reference to each and every such Borrower entity and to any such Borrower entity. The liability of all such Borrower entities for the Loans and other Obligations shall be joint and several, and each such Borrower entity hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be unconditionally liable in accordance with the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents for the repayment of all of the Obligations of all Borrower entities under this Agreement, including without limitation all Loans and any other extensions of credit made to the Borrower entities, regardless of which Borrower entity actually receives the proceeds of any Loan or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder and/or whether any particular Loan is made in reliance on or based on the value of the property and assets, including the Collateral, belonging to any particular one or more of the Borrower entities. The ultimate scope of liability of the Borrower entities shall be such that DLL may proceed against any one or more Borrower entities in any order and on any basis provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document to collect the Obligations and each Borrower entity shall be directly, primarily and unconditionally liable for the repayment of the Loans and other extensions of credit and Obligations and interest thereon.

To the extent that applicable law, including any law governing fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or transfer at undervalue, otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several Obligations of any Borrower entity hereunder and under the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Borrower entity’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower entity’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section were not a part of this Agreement.

Each Borrower entity hereby authorizes DLL, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Borrower entity hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time, (i) renew, extend or otherwise increase the time for payment of the Obligations; (ii) with the written agreement of any Borrower entity accelerate or otherwise change the terms relating to the Obligations or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower entity and delivered to DLL; (iii) accept partial payments of the Obligations; (iv) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of the Obligations or for the payment of any guarantees of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (v) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as DLL, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (vi) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Obligations and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any Borrower entity or any Guarantor. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, DLL shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any Borrower entity or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on all Borrower entities. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations as DLL shall determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower entity.

Each Borrower entity hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower entity, Loan Party or obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by DLL with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower entity or any other Loan Party and delivered to DLL; (iii) failure by DLL to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral (including the Collateral) for the Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under any federal, provincial or foreign law now or hereafter in effect relating to bankruptcy, winding-up, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, plans of arrangement or relief or protection of debtors (including the BIA, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) and any applicable corporations legislation) or (v) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

Any notice given by one Borrower entity hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Borrower entities, jointly and severally. Notice given by DLL to any one Borrower entity hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereof shall constitute notice to each and every Borrower entity. The knowledge of one Borrower entity shall be imputed to all Borrower entities and any consent by one Borrower entity shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrower entities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower entity hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrower entity designated as the “Borrowing Agent” on the Schedule, in such capacity, to be its attorney and agent-in-fact and to borrow, request Revolving Credit Loans and/or Floorplan Loans (to the extent each is available hereunder), to make elections regarding the interest rate options applicable to any Loans (if any such options are available hereunder), sign and endorse notes, consent to waivers and amendments, supplements, modifications and restatements of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder (including any such amendments, supplements, modifications and restatements), all on behalf of each such Borrower entity, and hereby authorizes DLL to pay over or credit all proceeds of any Loans hereunder in accordance with the requests and instructions of such Borrowing Agent (including without limitation, instructions to pay such proceeds to Borrowing Agent or an account maintained and/or controlled by Borrowing Agent) and to give all notices required under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Borrowing Agent.

No payment made by or for the account of any Borrower entity including, without limitation, (i) a payment made by such Borrower entity on behalf of another Borrower entity’s Obligations or (ii) a payment made by any other person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Borrower entity, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower entity or from or out of such other Borrower entity’s property and such Borrower entity shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower entity or any property of such other Borrower entity by reason of any performance of such Borrower entity of its joint and several obligations hereunder, in any such case until such time as this Agreement and all obligations of DLL to make loans and extend credit hereunder has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full.

9.30 Right of Offset. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that DLL may have under applicable law, DLL shall, whether or not amounts owed by Borrower are due and payable, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of all amounts, indebtedness, obligations or liabilities then or thereafter owing to the Borrower from DLL or any of DLL’s affiliates, including without limitation any indebtedness, obligation or liability owing to Borrower from DLL or any of DLL’s affiliates with respect to any financing of the acquisition of any Inventory by DLL or any of DLL’s affiliates, whether such financing is made by DLL or its affiliate on its own behalf or on behalf of any other customer of DLL or its affiliate (whether in connection with a leasing contract or any other relationship between DLL or its affiliate and such other customer).
