2.              Effectiveness of Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written above, but only if this Agreement has been executed by each of GTSI, TLI, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and only if all of the documents listed on Exhibit A to this Agreement have been delivered and, as applicable, executed, sealed, attested, acknowledged, certified, or authenticated, each in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, by each of GTSI, TLI, and/or GTSI Financial Services, Inc. (“GTSIFS”), as applicable.  Each document, note, certificate or agreement listed on Exhibit A and signed by GTSI, TLI, or GTSIFS, as applicable, is and shall be deemed (together with all prior documents, notes, certificates and other agreements defined as Loan Documents in the Original Credit Agreement) to be a “Loan Document.”

 

3.              New Lenders.

 

3.1.  In connection with this Agreement, and simultaneously with its effectiveness and certain fundings as set forth herein, Wachovia Bank, National Association, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust

 



 

Company (each a “New Lender”) will become a Lender for all purposes under the Original Credit Agreement and Loan Documents together with the existing Lenders (the “Existing Lenders”).

 

3.2.  Upon the full and complete execution of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall arrange, and each Lender (including each New Lender and the Existing Lenders) shall fully cooperate, in making or receiving, as directed by the Administrative Agent, wire transfers and fund transfers reasonably necessary to effectuate the pro-rata shares set forth on Exhibit 3.  Upon such transfer of funds, this Agreement shall be effective and such effectiveness shall relate back to 8:00 a.m. St. Louis time on the date of this Agreement.

 

3.3.  Each New Lender agrees that, to the extent it has purchased and assumed, or be found to have purchased and assumed, from Existing Lenders any interest in any Loan, it has purchased and assumed such interest without recourse and without representation or warranty except as expressly set forth in Section 3.4.  Such purchase and assumption shall include that portion of the Existing Lenders’ obligations to fund unfunded Approvals equal to the percentage of the Floorplan Loans purchased by such New Lender.

 

3.4.  Each Existing Lender represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of its Loans and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim.

 

3.5.  Each New Lender (i) confirms, covenants and agrees that it has received a copy of the Original Credit Agreement and all prior amendments (if any), the Loan Documents, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and become a Lender, and confirms and covenants that it has entered into this Agreement and agreed to become a Lender based on its own credit analysis and decision and without reliance upon any information provided by, or statement made by, Administrative Agent or any other Lender; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Existing Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Original Credit Agreement; (iii) confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee (assuming the Administrative Agent approves of such New Lender as contemplated in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”); (iv) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Original Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof; (v) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (vi) agrees that it will promptly provide to Administrative Agent any U.S. Internal Revenue Service or other forms required under the Original Credit Agreement.

 

3.6.  Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the funding by each New Lender of the amounts directed to be funded by it by the Administrative Agent as set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, such New Lender shall be a Lender for all purposes under the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  From and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments under the Original Credit Agreement and the Notes consistent with the pro-rata shares of the Lenders.
