COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.

 

Eligible Products:    New and pre-owned marine products, subject to a perfected first priority Lien in favor of CDF and free and clear of all other Liens not permitted by the Inventory Financing Agreement. Consigned products shall be excluded unless you comply with CDF’s documentation requirements with respect thereto and CDF otherwise agrees in writing.
Dealer Rate:   

The effective dealer interest rate for any month (after the manufacturer subsidy period expires, if applicable) shall be the One month LIBOR rate plus 3.45%.

 

Dealer Rate shall be the same for both new and pre-owned inventory.

 

The Dealer Rate will be recalculated monthly based on changes in the One month LIBOR rate as outlined above.

Performance Rebate:   

So long as Dealer remains in compliance with all the terms and conditions of the Inventory Financing Agreement, this Program Terms Letter and all other agreements or instruments by and between Dealer and CDF, for each calendar quarter beginning with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2013, CDF will pay you a rebate to be paid quarterly in an amount equal to .20% of (i) the average daily balance of outstanding Obligations owed to CDF for the prior quarter less (ii) the average daily balance of the [****] for the prior quarter (the “Performance Amount”). Such rebate will be subject to the following:

 

1. The amount of such rebates paid to you shall not exceed $300,000 in the aggregate for any calendar year.

 

2. Such rebates will be paid within 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter.

 

3. The average daily balance of outstanding Obligations will be calculated as the sum of the daily balance of outstanding Obligations for each day in the applicable quarter divided by the number of days in the applicable quarter.

 

4. The average daily balance of the [****] will be calculated as the sum of the daily balance of the [****] for each day in the applicable quarter divided by the number of days in the applicable quarter.

Unused Line Fee:    Dealer will be charged a monthly Unused Line Fee in an amount equal to 0.10% multiplied by the Unused Line, calculated based on the actual number of days in the calendar month in a year of 360 days. Unused Line is the Maximum Credit Amount, minus the average daily balance of outstanding Obligations owed to CDF, plus the average daily balance of the [****]. Billed monthly.
Maturity Period:    Invoices financed for new inventory by CDF are considered due in full at 1081 days from original invoice date. Invoices financed for pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory by CDF are considered due in full at 361 days from the date Dealer acquires such unit (“Acquisition Date”).
Advance Request:    Each advance with respect to pre-owned inventory or re-advance shall be made pursuant to a completed written advance request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with all attachments required thereby, an “Advance Request Form”) or such other form as CDF and Dealers may agree.

COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.

 

Floorplan Advance Rate:   

For new inventory (excluding Azimut brand new inventory), 100% of invoice amount, including freight (if included on original invoice), subject to Availability.

 

For Azimut brand new inventory: (a) if the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is < [****], 80% of invoice amount for all inventory that is 70 feet or less and 75% of invoice amount for all inventory that is greater than 70 feet, subject to Availability; and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is > [****], 85% of invoice amount for all inventory that is 70 feet or less and 75% of invoice amount for all inventory that is greater than 70 feet, subject to Availability.

 

As used herein, “Availability” shall mean (i) the lesser of (a) the Maximum Credit Amount and (b) at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is less than [****], 100% of total eligible inventory shown on the most recent inventory certificate or, at any time the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations is equal to or greater than [****], 90% of total eligible inventory shown on such inventory certificate, (ii) minus the outstanding amount of Approvals, (iii) minus the aggregate outstanding amount of Obligations. If Availability is negative at any time, then immediate payment shall be required of amount sufficient to cause Availability to be equal to or greater than $0.

 

Pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory advances will be as follows, subject to Availability, the Pre-owned Inventory Sublimit, the Specific Pre-Owned Sublimit, and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit:

 

75% NADA (based on low NADA Value) Day 1 (“Day 1” as used herein shall mean Acquisition Date) through Day 180 (after Acquisition Date); 67% Day 181 (after Acquisition Date) through Day 360 (after Acquisition Date); 0% Day 361+ (after Acquisition Date).

 

All models of pre-owned inventory are eligible, provided fair market values can be determined via NADA, Yachtworld.com, or survey.

 

Internal condition and valuation methodology required on all units > $500,000.00 (“Specific Pre-Owned Items”). If valuation of any Specific Pre-Owned Item exceeds [****], CDF advances in excess of [****] for such Specific Pre-Owned Item shall be in CDF’s discretion.

 

Trade in units < $500,000.00 value will be financed on a “borrowing base” calculated as the aggregate of the pre-owned advance rates multiplied by the applicable low NADA Values of such pre-owned inventory.

 

Borrowing base certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B required to be submitted on the date hereof and monthly by the 5th day of the month based on preceding month end balances of pre-owned inventory. Month-end borrowing base certificate can be used to borrow up to 80% of eligible borrowing base for that calendar month, subject to Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit. Any request for advances > 80% of prior month-end borrowing base requires submission of an updated borrowing base and such advances shall be limited to 100% of updated borrowing base, subject to Availability, the Pre-Owned Inventory Sublimit and the Other Pre-Owned Sublimit.

 

If any unit (new or pre-owned) remains at a location other than a Permitted Location for more than 30 days, then immediate payment shall be required of the full principal amount of the Obligations owed with respect to such unit. If the aggregate value of units at locations other than Permitted Locations (excluding boat shows) exceeds $5,000,000.00 at any time, then immediate payment shall be required of the Obligations with respect to such units in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, if a material adverse change results in the reduction of the value of the Collateral in an aggregate amount exceeding $250,000.00, then immediate payment shall be required of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral in an amount equal to such excess; provided that, if such reduction of value is the subject of an insurance claim payable to CDF as loss payee, then immediate payment of such excess amount shall only be required to the extent it exceeds the claim amount (net of any deductible) and payment of the remainder of such excess shall not be required until the earlier of (i) receipt of such insurance proceeds, if any, or the rejection or denial of such claim or any portion thereof and (ii) 30 days (or such later date as CDF may agree in writing) after such loss or damage.

For pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory < $500,000.00 low NADA value, a curtailment payment of 10% of the amount financed is due and payable at day 181 after the Acquisition Date; for pre-owned (trade in or used) inventory > $500,000.00 low NADA value, a curtailment payment of 10% of the amount financed is due and payable at day 181 after the Acquisition Date; and the advances with respect to all such items of inventory will be due in full at day 361 after the Acquisition Date.
