SECOND AMENDMENT TO GUARANTY
AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO GUARANTY AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENTS (this “Amendment”) is executed as of March 12, 2009, but shall be deemed effective as of December 31, 2008, by and between Capital Automotive L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its related affiliates referenced in the attached Schedule A (“collectively, Landlord”), and Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”).
RECITALS:
A. Landlord, as landlord, and certain affiliates of Guarantor, as tenants, are parties to certain Lease Agreements, as amended, that are more particularly described in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Leases”).
B. As a material inducement for Landlord to enter into the Leases, Guarantor executed certain corresponding Guaranty and Subordination Agreements (as amended, collectively referred to herein as the “Guaranties” or each individually as the “Guaranty”), also described on Schedule A, pursuant to which Guarantor guaranteed performance of all obligations of Tenants under the Leases, including but not limited to payment of rent and all other payments required under each Lease, for the benefit of Landlord. Previously, the parties entered into that certain Amendment to Guaranty and Subordination Agreements dated as of January 1, 2005 that amended certain financial covenants of each Guaranty.
C. The Guarantor has now requested, and Landlord agreed to amend the Guaranties to make certain additional modifications to certain financial covenants contained therein, upon the terms and conditions and as more particularly set forth herein below.
D. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in the Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein below and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, Guarantor and Landlord, intending legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The parties have agreed to modify certain financial covenants in Section 9 (the financial covenant in Section 9(d), EBTDAR To Rent Ratio, is not being amended), as follows:
a. Section 9(e) of each of the Guaranties is hereby amended by deleting Section 9(e), Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, in its entirety, and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 9(e), as follows:
(e) Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Guarantor shall provide to Landlord within (A) forty-five days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and (B) ninety days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, a written calculation, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, evidencing that Guarantor has not permitted the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at any time during any period of the last four fiscal quarters to be less than 1.20 to 1.00, determined as set for below and, taken as a whole, based on the Quarterly Statements and Annual Statements delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 9(c) above. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) the difference of (i) Consolidated EBITDAR for the four fiscal quarter period ending on such date minus (ii) an amount equal to $150,000 (representing assumed maintenance capital expenditures) multiplied by the average daily number of physical dealership locations at which the Subsidiaries operated franchised vehicle dealerships during such period to (b) Consolidated Fixed Charges for such period.
1
b. A new Section, Section 9(f), Consolidated Liquidity Ratio, is hereby added to each of the Guaranties, as follows:

Guarantor shall provide to Landlord within (A) forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and (B) ninety days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, a written calculation, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, evidencing that Guarantor has not permitted the Consolidated Liquidity Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than 1.15 to 1.00, based on the Quarterly Statements and Annual Statements delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 9(c) above. “Consolidated Liquidity Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) the sum of Consolidated Current Assets plus the Revolving Facility Liquidity Amount to (b) the sum of (i) Consolidated Current Liabilities plus (ii) Indebtedness (whether or not reflected as Indebtedness under GAAP) under all floorplan financing arrangements (but excluding (x) Total Revolving Outstandings and (y) liabilities arising under the 5.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due May 7, 2009 issued by the Guarantor in an initial aggregate principal amount of $149,500,000, other than such Total Revolving Outstandings and such liabilities under the 5.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes which are scheduled to be due within the two (2) fiscal quarters following such date of determination).
c. A new Section, Section 9(g), Consolidated Total Senior Secured Debt To EBITDA Ratio, is hereby added to each of the Guaranties, as follows:
(g) Consolidated Total Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio. Guarantor shall provide to Landlord within (A) forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and (B) ninety days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, a written calculation, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, evidencing that Guarantor has not permitted the Consolidated Total Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio at any time during any period of four fiscal quarters to be greater than 2.25 to 1.00, based on the Quarterly Statements and Annual Statements delivered to Landlord pursuant to Section 9(c) above. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Consolidated Total Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio” means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Outstanding Senior Secured Indebtedness (excluding Indebtedness under the New Vehicle Floorplan Facility and Permitted Silo Indebtedness) as of such date to (b) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of the four fiscal quarters most recently ended.
2
d. A new Section, Section 9(h), Compliance with the Credit Agreement, is hereby added to each of the Guaranties, as follows:

It shall be a default by Guarantor under the Guaranties (and a default under the Leases) if Guarantor shall fail to be in compliance or perform all of its covenants, obligations and conditions (including but not limited to payment obligations and financial covenants) beyond the passage of any applicable notice, if required, and cure periods under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of February 17, 2006 entered into with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”), and other lenders, as the same be amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Guarantor shall also provide to Landlord within (A) forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and (B) ninety days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, (i) a written statement, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, representing that Guarantor is in compliance with all of its covenants, obligations, and conditions under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a copy of the executed quarterly compliance certificate(s) and related documents submitted to Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement Compliance Certificate”) certifying its compliance with its financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

3

(i) Compliance with Other Financing Agreements. It shall be a default by Guarantor under the Guaranties (and a default under the Leases) if Guarantor (a) shall fail to make any payment when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise) with respect to any existing or future Indebtedness (as defined below) having an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (Twenty-Five Million Dollars) or more, as the same may be amended, modified, extended, substituted or replaced from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “Other Financing Agreements” or each individually as the “Other Financing Agreement”) or (b) shall fail to observe or perform any other agreement or condition relating to the Other Financing Agreements, or contained in any agreement evidencing securing or relating to the Other Financing Agreements, or any other event occurs, the effect of which default or other event is to cause or to permit the administrative agent, trustee, or other lender to cause, with the giving of notice, if required, any Indebtedness relating to any Other Financing Agreement to be demanded or to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), prior to its stated maturity. Guarantor shall also provide to Landlord within (A) forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and (B) ninety days after the end of the fourth fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, (i) a written statement, prepared by Guarantor and certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer, representing whether Guarantor is in compliance with all of its covenants, obligations, and conditions under the Other Financing Agreements, and, if Guarantor is not in compliance with any Other Financing Agreement(s), the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness under such Other Financing Agreement(s), and (ii) a copy of the executed quarterly compliance certificate(s) and related documents submitted to any administrative agent or lender pursuant to the Other Financing Agreements certifying whether Guarantor is in compliance with Guarantor’s financial covenants under the Other Financing Agreements.
f. A new Section, Section 9(j), Changes To/Eliminations of/Waivers of the Credit Agreement Financial Covenants, is hereby added to each of the Guaranties, as follows:
(j) Changes To/Eliminations of/Waivers of the Credit Agreement Financial Covenants.
| (i) | In the event that any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating specifically to the financial covenants and definitions contained therein are amended, eliminated or added, or the Credit Agreement is replaced, in whole or in part, by a comparable financing facility containing comparable financial covenants (such modified or replacement covenants, less any eliminated covenants, plus any added covenants are hereinafter referred to as the “Modified Covenants”), then Landlord agrees, upon Tenant’s |
4
| request, to make conforming changes only to, or eliminations of, or additions to the financial covenants specified in Section 9(e-h) above, provided that Tenant delivers a written request for such changes (promptly following the creation of such Modified Covenants) outlining in detail the specific changes sought accompanied by copies of the documents evidencing the Modified Covenants, including but not limited to the calculations and definitions relating to the Modified Covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (defined in Section 9(e) above), as may be amended, be eliminated. |
| (ii) | For purposes of clarity, Guarantor agrees that a waiver from the Administrative Agent regarding the Credit Agreement, or a waiver from any other administrative agent or lender regarding one of the Other Financing Agreements, relating to any future non-compliance of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Liquidity Ratio, and the Consolidated Total Senior Secured Debt to EBITDA Ratio shall not be considered a waiver by Landlord of the requirements under Section 9(e-h), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord. |
