FIRST AMENDMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT dated as of April 18, 2006 (this “Amendment”) is to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of September 8, 2004 among UNITED AUTO GROUP, INC. (the “Company”), various financial institutions (the “Lenders”) and DAIMLERCHRYSLER FINANCIAL SERVICES AMERICAS LLC (formerly DaimlerChrysler Services North America LLC), as agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”). Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects;

WHERAS, the parties hereto agree that the terms of this Amendment shall be effective as of March 1, 2006;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 AMENDMENT. Effective as of March 1, 2006, the definition of “Interest Rate” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Interest Rate means, for each day, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) (i) in the case of any day from and including the first day of each calendar month through and including the 15th day of such calendar month, the LIBO Rate for the first day of such calendar month and (ii) in the case of any day from and including the 16th day of each calendar month through and including the last day of such calendar month, the LIBO Rate for the 16th day of such calendar month (the rate set forth in this clause (a) being the “Base LIBO Rate”) plus (b)(i) for the amount of Revolving Loans that is less than or equal to the Borrowing Base, a margin of two and one-half percent (2.50%) per annum, (ii) for the amount of Revolving Loans that exceeds the Borrowing Base by less than $100,000,000, a margin of three percent (3.00%) per annum and (iii) for the amount of Revolving Loans that exceeds the Borrowing Base by an amount equal to or more than $100,000,000, a margin of three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum (with the determination of such Borrowing Base to be effective as of the first day of the calendar month during which the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists, the applicable margin shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum. For purposes of this definition, “LIBO Rate” means, for each date of calculation, (1) the rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16th of 1%) published in The Wall Street Journal (Midwest Edition) on such day (or the immediately preceding Business Day, if such date is not a Business Day) in its “Money Rates” column as the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate for Dollar-denominated deposits (if The Wall Street Journal ceases to publish such a rate or substantially changes the methodology used to determine such rate, then the rate shall be the rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16th of 1%) published by Reuters Monitor Rates Service on such day (or the immediately preceding Business Day, if such date is not a Business Day) as the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate for Dollar-denominated deposits or (2) if such rate is not published or available, such rate as shall be otherwise independently determined by the Agent on a basis substantially similar to the methodology used by The Wall Street Journal on the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that: (a) the representations and warranties made in Section 8 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent relating solely to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct as of such earlier date); (b) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists or will result from the execution of this Amendment; (c) no event or circumstance has occurred since the Effective Date that has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect; (d) the execution and delivery by the Company of this Amendment and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) (i) are within the corporate powers of the Company, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, (iii) have received all necessary approval from any governmental authority and (iv) do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of any law, rule or regulation or any order, decree, judgment or award which is binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or of any agreement, indenture, instrument or other document which is binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (e) the Amended Credit Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

SECTION 3 EFFECTIVENESS. The amendment set forth in Section 1 above shall become effective as of the date hereof when the Agent shall have received (a) a counterpart of this Amendment executed by the Company and the Required Lenders (or, in the case of any party other than the Company from which the Agent has not received a counterpart hereof, facsimile confirmation of the execution of a counterpart hereof by such party) and (b) each of the following documents, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent:

3.1 Reaffirmation. A counterpart of the Reaffirmation of Loan Documents, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, executed by each Loan Party other than the Company.

3.2 Other Documents. Such other documents as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request.

SECTION 4 MISCELLANEOUS.

4.1 Continuing Effectiveness, etc. As hereby amended, the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. All references in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, each other Loan Document and any similar document to the “Credit Agreement” or similar terms shall refer to the Amended Credit Agreement.

4.2 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Amendment.

4.3 Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, including, without duplication, the allocable costs of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal legal counsel) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.

4.4 Governing Law. This Amendment shall be a contract made under and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed within the State of New York.

4.5 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and the Agent.
