THIS FIRST AMENDMENT AND WAIYER TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (“Amendment”) is dated to be effective as of              the day of                        , 2017, by and between: (a) MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY, a New York banking corporation, as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”); (b) the undersigned lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) which are parties to the “Credit Agreement” (as defined below); (c) GBP PRIME HOLDINGS, LLC (“GPB Prime”) and AUTOMILE PARENT HOLDINGS, LLC (“Parent Holdings Guarantor”), each a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Guarantors”); and (d) AUTOMILE TY HOLDINGS, LLC, AUTOMILE HOLDINGS, LLC, AMR REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company, and their undersigned Subsidiaries signing this Amendment as a “Borrower” (collectively, the “Borrowers”). The Guarantors and the Borrowers are collectively referred to in this Amendment as the “Obligors.” The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are collectively referred to in this Amendment as the “Credit Parties.” The Borrowers, the Guarantors, and the Credit Parties are collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

The Administrative Agent, the Lenders party thereto and the Obligors have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 4, 2017, and the various other “Credit Documents,” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement. All terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Obligors have informed the Credit Parties of a shortfall in the required Swap coverage pursuant to Section 5.18 of the Credit Agreement (captioned, “Interest Rate Protection”) having given effect to multiple advances under the Delayed Draw Facility (“Existing Covenant Violation”), and have requested (a) a waiver of the Existing Covenant Violation, (b) additional time to enter into an additional or amended Swap Agreement to cover the required percentage of the Delayed Draw Facility. In order to facilitate the Swap and to create more efficiency in borrowing mechanics under the Delayed Draw Facility, the Obligors have agreed to issue amended and restated Delayed Draw Notes in the full amount of each Lender’s Delayed Draw Facility Commitment which would amend, restate and replace each Lender’s then-outstanding Delayed Draw Notes and further evidence all existing and future advances. It is also requested that the $1,000,000 minimum amount applicable to a request for Delayed Draw Loans be amended to provide for the Administrative Agent’s discretion to accommodate Borrowing requests that do not meet the minimum.

 

The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to enter into this Amendment with the Obligors in order to amend and modify the Credit Agreement and the Delayed Draw Notes to accomplish the requested amendments and amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects in connection therewith, and to provide a waiver of the Existing Covenant Violation.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby aclmowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows.

 

AGREEMENT

 

Section 1.             Acknowledgment And Reaffirmation Of Obligations. Each of the Obligors acknowledges and affirms that: (a) the Credit Documents are the valid and binding obligation of each of them that is a signatory thereto; (b) the Credit Documents are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms; and (c) none of them has any defenses, claims of offset, or counterclaims against the enforcement of the Credit Documents in accordance with all stated terms.

 

Section 2.           Waiver of Existing Covenant Violation. The Required Lenders hereby waive the Existing Covenant Violation and any Event of Default arising exclusively from the Existing Covenant Violation.

 

Section 3.          Extension of Time for Compliance with Section 5.18. Within sixty (60) days from the date of this Amendment, the Borrower Representative shall enter into, and thereafter maintain at all times, Swap Agreements with one or more Swap Providers to the extent necessary to provide that at least fifty percent (50)% of(a) the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loans and Mortgage Loans made to date, plus (b) the presently undrawn amount of the Delayed Draw Dollar Cap with respect to the Delayed Draw Facility, is subject to either a fixed rate of interest or interest rate protection, which Swap Agreements shall be on an ISDA standard form and have terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
