ARTICLE 2
THE REVOLVING FACILITY
2.1 Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Commitment. The Lender’s obligation to make each Advance is subject only to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions in Article 6 and is not subject to the Lender’s discretion.
2.2 Initial Advance. On the Closing Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.1, the Lender shall make the Initial Advance by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Borrower in writing.
2.3 Subsequent Advances. The Borrower may request a Subsequent Advance by delivering a Notice of Borrowing to the Lender not later than three (3) Business Days before the requested funding date. Each Subsequent Advance shall be in the principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or an integral multiple thereof, and no Subsequent Advance shall cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Advances to exceed the Commitment. Upon satisfaction of the conditions in Section 6.2, the Lender shall fund the requested Subsequent Advance on the requested funding date.
2.4 Reborrowing. During the Availability Period, the Borrower may borrow, repay (in whole or in part) and reborrow Advances in accordance with this Article 2.
2.5 Lender Funding Failure. If the Lender fails to fund any Subsequent Advance requested in compliance with this Agreement within two (2) Business Days after the requested funding date (a “Funding Failure”), then, in addition to any other rights of the Borrower, (a) the Borrower may, by written notice to the Lender, terminate the undrawn portion of the Commitment, (b) the Lender shall, upon the Pledgors’ request, release from the pledge all Pledged Shares in excess of the number required to maintain a Collateral Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 on the Advances then outstanding, and (c) no Default or Event of Default shall arise from any failure by the Borrower to perform any obligation to the extent caused by the Funding Failure.
2.6 Note; Records. The Advances shall be evidenced by the Note. The Lender shall maintain records of the date and amount of each Advance and each payment, which records shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts outstanding absent manifest error; however, any failure to record shall not affect the Obligations.
2.7 Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Lender, terminate the Commitment or reduce it in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), without premium or penalty, provided that the Commitment may not be reduced below the outstanding principal amount of the Advances.
| 3 |
ARTICLE 3
INTEREST, FEES AND PAYMENTS
3.1 Interest. Each Advance shall bear interest on its outstanding principal amount from the date funded until repaid at a fixed rate of twelve and ninety-nine hundredths percent (12.99%) per annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as applicable) and the actual number of days elapsed. Accrued interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first Business Day of the first full calendar month after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. No interest shall accrue on any undrawn portion of the Commitment, and no unused commitment fee shall be payable.
3.2 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon written notice from the Lender, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at a rate equal to two percent (2.00%) per annum above the rate otherwise applicable (the “Default Rate”).
3.3 Origination Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender an origination fee equal to two percent (2.00%) of the amount, if any, by which each Advance causes the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances to exceed the highest aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances at any time before that Advance (the “High-Water Amount”), which fee shall be fully earned and payable on the date such Advance is funded and may be deducted from the proceeds of such Advance. No origination fee shall be payable on any Advance, or portion of an Advance, that does not increase the High-Water Amount, including any reborrowing of principal previously advanced and repaid. The aggregate origination fees payable under this Agreement shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the origination fee payable on the Closing Date in respect of the Initial Advance is Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000).
3.4 Repayment at Maturity. The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of all Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other Obligations, on the Maturity Date.
3.5 Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay the Advances, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid.
3.6 Payments. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim, to the account designated by the Lender in writing. Payments shall be applied first to fees and expenses then due, second to accrued interest, and third to principal. If any payment falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall be due on the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue for the additional days.
3.7 Maximum Lawful Rate. It is the intent of the parties that the Borrower shall not be required to pay interest or other charges in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any amount paid or agreed to be paid would exceed that maximum, the amount shall be reduced to the maximum permitted, and any excess received by the Lender shall be applied to principal or, if principal has been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower.
3.8 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses incurred in the negotiation and documentation of the Loan Documents. After an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay the Lender’s reasonable and documented costs of collection and enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred.

ARTICLE 4
COLLATERAL
4.1 Pledge. The Obligations shall be secured by a first-priority security interest in the Pledged Shares granted by the Pledgors pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. On or before the Closing Date, the Pledgors shall pledge an aggregate of 7,874,000 shares of Common Stock, consisting of 7,221,000 shares pledged by RCG and 653,000 shares pledged by Jason Ruegg, having an aggregate Market Value of approximately $15,000,000 based on a ten (10) Trading Day volume-weighted average price of $1.905236 per share.
4.2 No Collateral Maintenance. The Pledged Shares shall consist of a fixed number of shares of Common Stock determined as of the Closing Date under Section 4.1. Neither the Borrower, the Company nor any Pledgor shall have any obligation to pledge additional shares or other collateral, or to prepay any Advance, by reason of any decline in the Market Value of the Pledged Shares, and no such decline shall constitute a Default or Event of Default or a condition to any Advance.
4.3 Release of Excess Collateral. If at any time the Collateral Coverage Ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00 measured against the Commitment (or, after the Availability Period ends, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances), then, upon the Pledgors’ written request and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall within three (3) Business Days instruct the Transfer Agent to release from the pledge the number of Pledged Shares in excess of the number required to maintain a Collateral Coverage Ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 on that measure. Upon payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitment, all Pledged Shares shall be released in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.
4.4 No Lien on Borrower or Company Assets. The Lender acknowledges that the Floorplan Lender holds a first-priority lien on substantially all personal property of the Borrower. The Obligations are not secured by, and the Lender shall not take or file any security interest, financing statement, lien or other encumbrance against, any property of the Borrower or the Company. The Lender’s recourse against the Borrower and the Company is that of an unsecured creditor, and the Lender agrees to execute such acknowledgment of the foregoing as the Floorplan Lender may reasonably request.
4.5 Limited Recourse to Pledgor. The Pledgors are not parties to this Agreement except to the extent expressly set forth in the Pledge Agreement. No Pledgor and no other individual shall have any liability for the Obligations, whether as guarantor or otherwise, and the Lender’s recourse against each Pledgor is limited solely to the Pledged Shares pledged by that Pledgor and their proceeds.
4.6 Prior RLLT Facility. The Lender confirms that (a) the Master Loan Agreement dated as of June 22, 2026 among the Borrower, the Company and the Lender (the “Prior MLA”) and the Personal Guaranty and Stock Pledge Agreement dated as of June 22, 2026 executed by Jason Ruegg and RCG in favor of the Lender (the “Prior Guaranty and Pledge”) have been terminated, (b) all obligations under the Prior MLA, including Deal Schedule No. 005-766, have been paid in full, and (c) all shares pledged under the Prior Guaranty and Pledge have been released and the Lender holds no lien on any shares of Common Stock other than the Pledged Shares. Nothing in this Agreement revives the Prior MLA or the Prior Guaranty and Pledge, and no provision of either shall apply to, guarantee or secure the Obligations.
| 5 |
ARTICLE 5
GUARANTY
5.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.
5.2 Waivers. The Guarantor waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of default and any requirement that the Lender first proceed against the Borrower or the Pledged Shares. The Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any extension, renewal, amendment or waiver of any Loan Document agreed to by the Borrower, or by any release or impairment of the Pledged Shares.
5.3 Subrogation. Until the Obligations are paid in full, the Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower in respect of payments under this Article 5.
5.4 Reinstatement. This guaranty shall be reinstated if any payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must be returned upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower.
