Senior Secured Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, CWGS Group, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, was party to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of a $1.4 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $65.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized for borrowings or letters of credit; however, a maximum of $25.0 million may be allocated to such letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in June 2026, and the Term Loan Facility matures in June 2028. The Term Loan Facility requires mandatory principal payments in equal quarterly installments of $3.5 million. The December 31, 2022 principal payment was due in January 2023, since December 31, 2022 was on a weekend. Additionally, the Company is required to prepay the term loan borrowings in an aggregate amount up to 50% of excess cash

flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for such fiscal year depending on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined by the Credit Agreement) beginning with the year ended December 31, 2022. No additional excess cash flow payment was required relating to 2022 and the Company does not expect an additional excess cash flow payment to be required relating to 2023.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Company has the ability to request to increase the amount of term loans or revolving loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (a) a “fixed” amount set at $725.0 million and (b) 100% of consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters on a pro forma basis (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company had requested and received an increase in the Term Loan Facility of $300.0 million in December 2021. The lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the average interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 6.80% and 3.25%, respectively, and the effective interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 7.03% and 3.46%, respectively.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries with the exception of FreedomRoads Intermediate Holdco, LLC, the direct parent of FR, and FR, and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants pertaining to, but not limited to, mergers, changes in the nature of the business, acquisitions, additional indebtedness, sales of assets, investments, and the payment of dividends subject to certain limitations and minimum operating covenants. Additionally, management has determined that the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include subjective acceleration clauses, which could impact debt classification. Management believes that no events have occurred at December 31, 2022 that would trigger a subjective acceleration clause.

The Credit Agreement requires the Borrower and its subsidiaries to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which covenant is in effect only if, as of the end of each calendar quarter, the aggregate amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility (including swingline loans), letters of credit and unreimbursed letter of credit disbursements outstanding at such time is greater than 35% of the total commitment on the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding (i) up to $15.0 million attributable to any outstanding undrawn letters of credit and (ii) any cash collateralized or backstopped letters of credit), as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was not subject to this covenant as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed the 35% threshold. The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Real Estate Facilities

On October 27, 2022, subsidiaries of FRHP Lincolnshire, LLC (“FRHP”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with a syndication of banks for a real estate credit facility (the “M&T Real Estate Facility”) with aggregate maximum principal capacity of $250.0 million with an option that allows FRHP to request an additional $100.0 million of principal capacity. The lenders under the M&T Real Estate Facility are not under any obligation to provide commitments in respect of any such increase. The M&T Real Estate Facility bears interest at FRHP’s option of either (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility): (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable rate of 2.30% or (b) the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.80%, (ii) the Prime Rate plus 1.30%, or (iii) SOFR plus 2.30%. The M&T Real Estate Facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.20% of the aggregate unused principal amount and it matures in October 2027. Additionally, the M&T Real Estate Facility is subject to a debt service coverage ratio covenant (as defined in the credit agreement for the M&T Real Estate Facility). All obligations under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by the mortgaged real property assets.

In November 2018, September 2021, and December 2021, Camping World Property, Inc. (the ‘‘Real Estate Borrower’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC, and CIBC Bank USA (“Lender”), entered into loan and security agreements for real estate credit facilities (as amended from time to time, the “First CIBC Real Estate Facility”, the “Second CIBC Real Estate Facility”, and the “Third CIBC Real Estate Facility”, respectively, and collectively the “CIBC Real Estate Facilities”) with aggregate maximum principal capacities of $21.5 million, $9.0 million, and $10.1 million for the First CIBC Real Estate Facility, Second CIBC Real Estate Facility, and Third CIBC Real Estate Facility, respectively. Borrowings under the CIBC Real Estate Facilities are guaranteed by CWGS Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CWGS, LLC. The CIBC Real Estate Facilities may be used to finance the acquisition of real estate assets and are secured by first priority security interest on the real estate assets acquired with the proceeds of the CIBC Real Estate Facilities. The First CIBC Real Estate Facility, the CIBC Second Real Estate Facility, and Third CIBC Real Estate Facility mature in October 2023, September 2026, and December 2026, respectively.

The following table shows a summary of the outstanding balances, remaining available borrowings, and weighted average interest rate under the M&T Real Estate Facility and the CIBC Real Estate Facilities (collectively the “Real Estate Facilities”) at December 31, 2022:
