Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (i) the Company will receive term loans (the “Term Loans”) in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $101,300,000 and (ii) The Floor Plan Borrowers will receive floor plan loan commitments (the “Floor Plan Facility”) in an aggregate amount of up to $90,350,000.

On the date hereof, the Company received an initial Term Loan of approximately $89.5 million, to be used to fund the Beckley Acquisitions and Fuccillo Acquisitions described below in Item 2.01. The remainder of the Term Loan will be disbursed in connection with the closing of the Company’s other announced pending acquisitions. The Term Loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in effect from time to time.

The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be repaid in monthly installments of $422,083.33 in each of the first 12 such monthly installments, increasing to $844,166.67 for each monthly installment thereafter. Each quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, the Company is obligated to repay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 75% of the Company’s Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) minus the amount of all voluntary prepayments in such fiscal quarter, which shall be reduced to 50% of the Company’s Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 4.00:1.00. Further, the Company is obligated to prepay an aggregate amount of $11.7 million in respect of the Term Loan on or prior to September 4, 2021. The Term Loan matures on March 4, 2023.

The Floor Plan Facility matures on March 4, 2023. All amounts borrowed pursuant to the Floor Plan Facility accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.25% per annum.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Floor Plan Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for the obligations under the Credit Agreement, which are also guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s, the Floor Plan Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ assets.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain (i) a Consolidated Leverage Ratio of no greater than 6.00:1.00 until December 31, 2021 and, thereafter, 5.00:1.00, (ii) a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 1.20:1.00 and (iii) a Consolidated Trust Equity Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 20%, in each case, tested quarterly.

The Credit Agreement also includes a number of customary negative covenants. Such covenants, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the Company, the Floor Plan Borrowers and the Guarantors to:

The aforementioned restrictions are subject to certain exceptions including (i) the ability to incur additional indebtedness, liens, investments and dividends and distributions, subject, in each case, to compliance with certain financial metrics and/or certain other conditions and (ii) a number of other traditional exceptions that grant the Company continued flexibility to operate and develop its business.

The Credit Agreements also include customary affirmative covenants, representations and warranties and events of default.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Credit Agreement were made only for the purpose of the Credit Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Credit Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by disclosures for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.
