(b)

The sum of the aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Credit Limit available at such time, provided that the maximum principal amount of Advances available at any time for: (i) the acquisition of New Products shall not exceed the Credit Limit available at such time; and (ii) the acquisition of Used Products shall not exceed 20% of the Credit available at such time.

4.2

Purpose — This Credit Facility is being made available by BMO for purposes of financing the acquisition of New Products to be held as Inventory and, within the Credit Facility, the Used Product Sub-line is being made available by BMO for purposes of financing the acquisition of Used Products to be held as Inventory and the USD Sub-line is being made available by BMO for purposes of financing the acquisition of Products to be held as Inventory.

4.3

Any Advance hereunder is in the sole discretion of BMO and each Advance hereunder is subject to approval by BMO in its sole discretion and will be made available for the acquisition by DEALER of:

(a)

New Products from a Manufacturer or from any dealer in Canada by way of dealer trade/transfer to be held as Inventory and will be advanced in amounts equal to 100% of the Acquisition Cost of New Products purchased by DEALER, including freight charges and manufacturer’s holdback, less manufacturer’s incentives/rebates, deposits, cash down payments, security deposits, trade-in allowances, advance rental payments or partial advance rental payments, and may include an amount equal to the Taxes exigible on the acquisition of New Products, subject to approval by BMO in its sole discretion; and

4.4

Advances — DEALER may request Advances from BMO from time to time. On any day, the maximum amount of all Advances (inclusive of the conversion of any Advances in USD to CAD at the Rate of Conversion) outstanding, when added to all then outstanding approvals by BMO of requests for Advances made by DEALER pursuant to Advance Notices, shall not exceed the Credit Limit.

4.5

Advance Notice — DEALER shall give an Advance Notice to BMO by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least one Business Day (or such shorter time as BMO may agree) before the date DEALER requests BMO to make an Advance. DEALER give all Advance Notices requesting an Advance to BMO by email or other electronic means of transmitting information or data acceptable to BMO (which notice shall be irrevocable once given), in a form acceptable to BMO. All Advance Notices concerning an Advance shall specify the date of the requested Advance (“Advance Date”), which shall be a Business Day, and the amount of the requested Advance. DEALER agrees that BMO may reasonably rely on any such electronic notice given by any person BMO in good faith believes is an authorized representative of DEALER without the necessity of independent investigation. For greater certainty, the Advance Date should be no later than the next Business Day following the date of an Advance Notice.

4.6

Advanced Funds — Each amount advanced or paid hereunder shall be advanced or paid, as the case may be, in immediately available funds in such form of funds as may from time to time be customarily used in Toronto, Ontario in the settlement of banking transactions similar to the banking transactions required to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement on the day such advance, disbursement or payment is to be made.

4.7

Direction to Pay — DEALER hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs BMO to pay, on its behalf, any invoices or electronic remittance advices presented to BMO, from time to time, that evidence the sale by a Manufacturer to DEALER of one or more items of New Products and confirms that any such payment to a Manufacturer will be and deemed to be an Advance under this Credit Facility for all purposes hereof.

4.8

Evidence of Indebtedness — The Liability of DEALER resulting from Advances made by BMO hereunder shall be evidenced by records maintained by BMO concerning the Advances it has made. The records maintained by BMO shall constitute, in the absence of manifest error, prima facie evidence of the Liability of DEALER to BMO in respect of Advances made and all details relating thereto. The failure by BMO to correctly record any such amount or date shall not, however, adversely affect the Liability of DEALER to pay amounts due hereunder to BMO in accordance with this Agreement.

4.9

Statements of Account — BMO may, from time to time, prepare and deliver to DEALER one or more statements of account reflecting the Advances and financing extended by BMO to DEALER hereunder.

4.10

Repayment — DEALER shall repay to BMO all Liability outstanding on demand in accordance with Section 8, and otherwise shall make payments as follows:

(a)

If an Advance included an amount in respect of Taxes payable on the acquisition of New Products, then such amount shall be due and payable by DEALER no later than the 90^th day following the date of such Advance.

(b)

Until each Advance used to acquire New Products (a “New Product Loan”) has been repaid in full, DEALER shall make curtailment principal payments with respect such New Product Loan in amounts equal to the original principal amount of such New Product Loan multiplied by the percentages set forth below (each such payment, a “New Product Curtailment Payment”):

(c)

Until each Advance used to acquire Used Products (a “Used Product Loan”) has been repaid in full, DEALER shall make curtailment principal payments with respect such Used Product Loan in amounts equal to the original principal amount of such Used Product Loan multiplied by the percentages set forth below (each such payment, a “Used Product Curtailment Payment”):

(d)

Upon the sale of an item of Financed Inventory, the unpaid balance of the Advance in respect of such item, together with all interest, fees and charges, shall be repaid by DEALER in accordance with Section 5.3.

(e)

If an item of Financed Inventory is lost, stolen or damaged, then the unpaid balance of the Advance in respect of such item, together with all interest, fees and charges, shall be immediately repaid by DEALER.

(f)

Each Advance shall mature and be due and payable by DEALER on demand and DEALER shall pay all outstanding Liability owing to BMO on the Scheduled Termination Date and DEALER may make repayments at any time, without penalty, upon notice delivered by DEALER to BMO no later than 12:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date of repayment (or such shorter time as BMO may agree).

(g)

If, on any Business Day, the sum of the unpaid principal balance of the Advances then outstanding exceeds the Credit Limit, then DEALER shall immediately and without notice or demand pay over the amount of the excess to BMO as and for a mandatory repayment of Liability (“Reimbursement Obligation”).

4.11

Payments — All payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts to be made by DEALER to BMO pursuant to this Agreement shall be made for value on the day required hereunder, provided that if such day is not a Business Day then on the Business Day next following, by deposit or transfer thereof at the time specified herein to the account of BMO for such purpose as BMO may from time to time notify DEALER. Any payment made after 3:00 p.m. (Toronto time) shall be deemed to be made on the Business Day following the day of payment.

4.12

Reborrowing — Any principal amount of Advances repaid before the Scheduled Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be reborrowed, repaid and reborrowed again from time to time before the Scheduled Termination Date or demand in accordance with Section 8.

4.13

Currency — If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment against DEALER or the GUARANTOR or any other guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert the Liability into the currency of the jurisdiction giving such judgment (the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due hereunder in any other currency (the “Original Currency”), then the Liability shall be converted at the Rate of Exchange prevailing on the date for conversion selected by the court (the “Conversion Date”). If there is a change in the Rate of Exchange between the Judgment Currency and the Original Currency between the Conversion Date and the actual receipt by BMO of the amount due hereunder or under such judgment, DEALER, GUARANTOR and/or any other guarantors, notwithstanding such judgment, will pay all such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by BMO in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Rate of Exchange prevailing on the date of receipt, will produce the amount due in the Original Currency.

4.14

Interest Rate — Each Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Advance is advanced until paid in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of a CDOR Advance, CDOR plus 90 bps, and in the case of a LIBOR Advance, LIBOR plus 1.10 bps, calculated monthly in arrears and payable in arrears by DEALER on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). A change in CDOR and LIBOR will simultaneously cause a corresponding change in the interest payable for a CDOR Advance and a LIBOR Advance, respectively. BMO shall determine each interest rate applicable to a CDOR Advance and a LIBOR Advance and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder using reasonable discretion based on industry-standard practices, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error. The annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the foregoing are equivalent, are the rates so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in a period of one year commencing on the first day of the period for which such interest is payable and divided by 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

4.15

Interest Payment — Interest shall accrue from and including the date of Advance to, but excluding, the date of any payment or repayment thereof and shall be payable by DEALER on each Interest Payment Date and on demand in accordance with Section 8 (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable hereunder shall accrue and be calculated daily upon the daily outstanding balance of the Advances made hereunder or thereunder on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be. All interest payments to be made in respect of the outstanding balance of such Advances shall be paid both before and after maturity and before and after default and/or judgment, if any, until full and unconditional payment of the outstanding balance of the Advances. The principle of deemed reinvestment shall not apply to this Agreement or any payments made by DEALER hereunder. DEALER acknowledges that BMO intends to strictly conform to the applicable usury laws governing this Agreement.

4.16

Interest on Overdue Payments — DEALER shall pay, on demand, interest on Overdue Payments to BMO from and including such due date up to but excluding the date of actual payment, both before and after demand, default or judgment, at a rate of interest per annum equal to, in the case of overdue amounts payable in currency of Canada, CDOR plus 290 bps, or, in the case of overdue amounts payable in currency of the United States, LIBOR plus 310 bps, compounded monthly. Interest payable hereunder shall accrue and be calculated daily upon the daily outstanding balance of Overdue Payments on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be.

4.17

Interest to be lawful — Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall this Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest or other amounts in an amount or at a rate in excess of the amount or rate that is permitted by law or that would result in the receipt by BMO of interest at a criminal rate, as the terms “interest” and “criminal rate” are defined under the Criminal Code (Canada). If, from any circumstances whatever, fulfilment of any provision of this Agreement shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law for the collection or charging of interest, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any such circumstances, BMO shall receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest under this Agreement in an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permitted by applicable law, then such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of this Credit Facility, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Credit Facility, then the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to DEALER.

4.18

CDOR Suspension or Replacement — If BMO determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or DEALER notifies BMO that DEALER has determined that:

(a)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining CDOR, including because the Reuters Screen CDOR is not available or published on a current basis for the applicable period ending immediately prior to any Interest Payment Date and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(b)

the administrator of CDOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR will permanently or indefinitely cease to be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans;

(c)

a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over BMO has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which CDOR shall no longer be permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of loans; or

(d)

loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 5.13, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace CDOR,

4.19

LIBOR Suspension or Replacement — Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of any of the events relating to the suspension or replacement of LIBOR set out in Section 2.15 of the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the provisions of that Section 2.15 shall apply to the suspension or replacement of LIBOR Advances under this Agreement mutatis mutandis. For purposes of such application, all references in Section 2.15 of the Fifth and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to “LIBOR Loans” shall be deemed to refer to LIBOR Advances, to “Administrative Agent” and “Lenders” shall be deemed to refer to BMO and to “Borrower Representative” shall be deemed to refer to DEALER.

4.20

Set off — In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which remains unremedied (whether or not the Advances have been accelerated hereunder), BMO shall have the right (and is hereby authorized by DEALER) at any time and from time to time to combine all or any of DEALER’s accounts with BMO, and to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, term or demand) including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, and any other indebtedness at any time held by DEALER or owing by BMO on account of Liability, as the case may be, to or for the credit or account of DEALER against and towards the satisfaction of any Liability owing by DEALER, and may do so notwithstanding that the balances of such accounts and the liabilities are expressed in different currencies, and BMO is hereby authorized to effect any necessary currency at the noon spot rate of exchange announced by the Bank of Canada on the Business Day before the day of conversion. BMO shall notify DEALER of any such set-off from DEALER’s accounts within a reasonable period of time thereafter, although BMO shall not be liable to DEALER for its failure to so notify.

4.21

Further Assurances — DEALER agrees to execute and deliver to BMO any and all documents requested by BMO, including but not limited to promissory notes, in connection with the financing extended by BMO to DEALER hereunder.
