NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises contained herein and in the Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Section 2 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"Credit Facility.

In addition, subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement between CDF and Dealer dated July 23, 2012, as amended from time to time, CDF agrees to provide to Dealer an accounts receivable facility of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00); provided, however, that at no time will the principal amount outstanding under the accounts receivable facility with CDF and Dealer's inventory floorplan credit facility with CDF exceed, in the aggregate, the Aggregate Facility Limit. CDF's decision to advance funds will not be binding until the funds are actually advanced.

If, at any time, the principal amount outstanding under Dealer's inventory floorplan credit facility with CDF and Dealer's accounts receivable facility with CDF exceeds, in the aggregate, the then applicable Aggregate Facility Limit, Dealer will immediately pay to CDF an amount not less than the difference between (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under Dealer's inventory floorplan credit facility with CDF and Dealer's accounts receivable facility with CDF and (ii) the Aggregate Facility Limit.

As used herein, "Aggregate Facility Limit" means (i) on or before October 31, 2016, Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000.00) and (ii) after October 31, 2016, Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000.00)."

4. This Amendment shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

5. This Amendment shall may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts, once they are executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
