(successor by merger to Banc of America Specialty Finance, Inc.), as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.

1. Purpose. The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and restate Amendment No. 1 to permit the Company to use the Floor Plan Credit to finance Eligible New Floor Plan Units (a) to be sold by the Company to the U.S. Government (not just to the Federal Emergency Management Agency), and (b) to be leased by the Company to nongovernmental entities for use throughout the United States of America (not just for temporary housing for victims of hurricanes).

 

2. Capitalized Terms. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and those definitions are incorporated by reference into this Amendment.

 

3. Sales of Eligible New Floor Plan Units to U.S. Government. The Agreement is amended to permit the Company to use the Floor Plan Credit to finance the sale of Eligible New Floor Plan Units by the Company to the U.S. Government on the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Curtailments. Section 8.2(d) of the Agreement (which was added to the Agreement by Amendment No. 1) is amended in its entirety as follows:

 

(d) Sale of Eligible New Floor Plan Units in Program. Principal curtailments (repayments) relating to Borrowings for Eligible New Floor Plan Units sold to the U.S. Government in accordance with this Agreement shall be due on the earliest of (1) one Business Day from the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the Floor Plan Unit, or (2) 90 calendar days from the sale of the Floor Plan Unit. For purposes of this Section 8.2(d), the date of sale shall be the earlier of the date on which the U.S. Government or its representative takes possession of a Floor Plan Unit or the date on which the U.S. Government acquires a legal right to a Floor Plan Unit. Payment for all Floor Plan Units sold to the U.S. Government shall be due in full before the Termination Date.

(a) Curtailments. Section 8.2(e) of the Agreement (which was added to the Agreement by Amendment No. 1) is amended in its entirety as follows:

 

(e) Lease of Floor Plan Units in Program. Principal curtailments (repayments) relating to Borrowings for Eligible New Floor Plan Units leased to Lessees in accordance with this Agreement shall be due as follows: (1) $1,000 of the initial Borrowing for the Floor Plan Unit shall be paid on the first day of each calendar month, beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after the effective date of the applicable lease and (2) the balance of the Borrowing shall be paid on the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the applicable lease.

Payment for all Floor Plan Units leased pursuant to the Program shall be due in full before the Termination Date.

 

(b) Lease Terms. Notwithstanding anything in this Amendment (as amended and restated), the Agreement, or otherwise to the contrary, each lease must (1) require that the leased Floor Plan Unit be located in the United States of America, prohibit the transfer of the leased Floor Plan Unit outside those states at any time, and, to the maximum extent possible, must specify the state in which the leased Floor Plan Unit will be located during the term of the lease, (2) must not constitute a conditional sales contract, (3) must prohibit the further transfer or encumbrance of any of the lessees’ rights or interests in the lease or the Floor Plan Unit, and (4) must be for a term of not more than 12 months. Each lease of a Floor Plan Unit pursuant to the Program shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of a form of lease that has been approved in advance in writing by the Agent.

(e) Original Leases. The Company immediately shall affix the following legend to the cover page of each lease and, upon request of the Agent, shall deliver each original lease to the Agent:

 

Lessor has granted a security interest in the recreational vehicle/towable subject to this Lease and every right to payment with respect to this Lease (including without limitation every account, account receivable, instrument, note, draft, acceptance, document, and chattel paper) to Bank of America, N.A., as Agent. This Lease and all payments and proceeds of this Lease have been assigned to Bank of America, N.A., as Agent. No further transfer or disposition of the Lease or any payments or proceeds associated with this Lease is permitted. Any transfer of this Lease or any payments or proceeds associated with this Lease will violate the Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement executed by Lazy Days’ R.V.

The Company shall not retain any copies of any lease without the foregoing legend.

(f) Confirmations. Agent, the Lenders, and the Company confirm that sales of Floor Plan Units to the U.S. government and leases of Floor Plan Units to Lessees in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, will not violate section 10.13 of the Agreement, and that, notwithstanding that the definitions of “New Floor Plan Units” and “Used Floor Plan Units” in the Agreement require that the Units be located at Lazy’ Day’s Seffner, Florida, location, the Floor Plan Units sold or leased through the Program still constitute Floor Plan Units as long as they meet all the other requirements of the Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.
