Non-Repurchase Vehicles from Manufacturers through dealers authorized by such
Manufacturers, at auctions conducted by automobile dealers not affiliated with

WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to lease to the Lessees, and the Lessees
desire to lease from the Lessor, Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicles, Group IV
Type II Repurchase Vehicles and Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles so acquired,
financed or refinanced by the Lessor for use in the daily vehicle rental

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have entered into the Amended and Restated
Master Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement - Group IV, dated as of July 24, 2001 (the
"Prior Group IV Lease") and such parties desire to amend and restate the Prior
Group IV Lease in its entirety;
WHEREAS, on July 29, 2002 (the "Petition Date"), each of Budget and the

Bankruptcy Code and each is entering into this Lease in its capacity as a debtor

2. GENERAL AGREEMENT
(a) As specified in the attachments hereto, the Lessees and the
Lessor intend that this Agreement be (i) an operating lease with respect to the
Lessor-Owned Vehicles and (ii) a financing arrangement with respect to the
Financed Vehicles.
(b) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this
Agreement, this Agreement is characterized by any third party as a financing
arrangement or as otherwise not constituting a "true lease" with respect to the
Lessor-Owned Vehicles, then it is the intention of the parties that this
Agreement, as it applies to the Lessor-Owned Vehicles, shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law. It is the intention of the parties that
this Agreement, as it applies to the Financed Vehicles, shall in all events
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In furtherance thereof, as
collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all of the
obligations and liabilities of each Lessee to the Lessor hereunder, whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now
existing or hereafter incurred (including interest accruing after the Lease
Expiration Date and interest accruing after the filing of any petition in
bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like
proceeding), which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, this
Agreement and any other document made, delivered or given in connection
herewith, whether on account of rent, principal, interest, reimbursement
obligations, fees, indemnities, costs or expenses
2
(including all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lessor or the Trustee
that are required to be paid by such Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof), each
Lessee hereby grants to the Lessor a first priority security interest in all of
such Xxxxxx's right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the following
assets, property and interests in property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired or created (the "Lease Collateral"):
(i) the rights of such Lessee under this Agreement, as
the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in
accordance with its terms, and any other agreements related to or in
connection with this Agreement to which such Lessee is a party (the
"Lessee Agreements"), including, without limitation, (a) all monies due
and to become due to such Lessee from the Guarantor and the Lessees
under or in connection with the Lessee Agreements, whether payable as
rent, guaranty payments, fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance
recoveries, damages for the breach of any of the Lessee Agreements or
otherwise, (b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of
such Lessee against any other party under or with respect to the Lessee
Agreements (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such Lessee
Agreements or otherwise available to such Lessee at law or in equity),
including the right to enforce any of the Lessee Agreements and to give
or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions,
approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to the Lessee
Agreements or the obligations of any party thereunder, (c) all Liens
and property from time to time purporting to secure payment arising
under or in connection with the Lessee Agreements, together with all
financing statements filed in favor of, or assigned to, such Lessee
describing any collateral securing such obligations or liabilities and
(d) all guarantees, insurance and other agreements or arrangements of
whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of
such obligations and liabilities of such Lessee pursuant to the Lessee
Agreements;
(ii) all Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased by such Lessee from
the Lessor pursuant to this Agreement which, notwithstanding that this
Agreement is intended to convey only a leasehold interest in such
Lessor-Owned Vehicles, are determined to be owned by such Lessee, and
all Certificates of Title with respect to such Lessor-Owned Vehicles;
(iii) all Financed Vehicles leased by such Lessee from the
Lessor pursuant to this Agreement, and all Certificates of Title with
respect to such Group IV Vehicles;
(iv) all right, title and interest of such Lessee in, to
and under any Repurchase Programs and all monies due and to become due
thereunder in respect of (A) Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased under this
Agreement which, notwithstanding that this Agreement is intended to
convey only a leasehold interest in such Lessor-Owned Vehicles, are
determined to be owned by such Lessee, and (B) Financed Vehicles leased
under this Agreement, in each case, whether payable as Repurchase
Prices or Guaranteed Payments;
3
(v) the Collection Account (to the extent of funds and
other items therein described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) below), the
Group IV Collection Account and each other collection account
established pursuant to a Series Supplement with respect to a Group IV
Series of Notes; (a) all funds on deposit therein allocable to Group IV
Vehicles from time to time; (b) all certificates and instruments, if
any, representing or evidencing any or all of such accounts or the
funds on deposit therein allocable to Group IV Vehicles from time to
time; and (c) all investments made at any time and from time to time
with the moneys allocable to Group IV Vehicles in such accounts
(including income thereon, including, without limitation, any and all
such accounts, certificates, instruments and investments constituting
"investment property" as defined in the UCC as in effect from time to
time in the State of New York);
(vi) all additional property that may from time to time
hereafter be subjected to the grant and pledge under this Agreement, as
the same may be modified or supplemented from time to time, by such
Lessee or by anyone on its behalf; and
(vii) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing
including, without limitation, payments under insurance (whether or not
the Lessor is the loss payee thereof) and cash, but not including (for
the avoidance of doubt) payments under consumer rental agreements.
2.1 Leasing of Group IV Vehicles(a) . (a) From time to time,
subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the Lessor agrees to lease to each
Lessee, and each Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor, subject to the terms
hereof, the Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicles, Group IV Type II Repurchase
Vehicles and Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles constituting the Refinanced
Vehicles and each additional Lessor-Owned Vehicle and Financed Vehicle
identified in certain vehicle orders (each, a "Group IV Vehicle Order") produced
from time to time by a Lessee, listing Eligible Repurchase Vehicles and Eligible
Non-Repurchase Vehicles ordered by such Lessee from Eligible Manufacturers or
dealers, for itself or as agent for the Lessor, pursuant to the terms of any
applicable Repurchase Program or otherwise. Subject to the conditions precedent
set forth in Section 2.5 hereof and to compliance with the terms of the related
Series Supplements, the Lessor shall make available to the applicable Lessee (i)
financing for the Financed Vehicles and (ii) Lessor-Owned Vehicles for lease to
the Lessees hereunder in an aggregate amount (each such financing or
Lessor-Owned Vehicle made available, a "Master Lease Advance").
(b) With respect to (i) the refinancing of any other Eligible
Repurchase Vehicle or Eligible Non-Repurchase Vehicle (including, without
limitation, any Group IV Vehicles previously subject to any other Leases and
refinanced pursuant to this Agreement, the "Refinanced Vehicles"), and/or (ii)
the refinancing of Eligible Receivables, each applicable Lessee shall make
available to the Lessor a schedule as set forth in Attachment A-1 hereto
containing information concerning the Refinanced Vehicles and the Eligible
Receivables, of a scope agreed upon by the Lessor (a "Refinancing Schedule").
4
(c) With respect to any lease of Group IV Vehicles, not described
in (b) above, each applicable Lessee shall make available to the Lessor a
schedule containing the information with respect to such Group IV Vehicles as is
set forth in Attachment A-2 hereto (each, a "Group IV Vehicle Acquisition
Schedule"), or in such form as is otherwise requested by the Lessor. In
addition, each Lessee leasing Vehicles pursuant to such Group IV Vehicle Order
agrees to provide such other information regarding such Vehicles as the Lessor
may require from time to time.
(d) The Lessees and the Lessor acknowledge that concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Lessees specified on Schedule
1 hereto have made available to the Lessor Group IV Vehicle Orders to lease
Eligible Repurchase Vehicles currently owned by the Lessor pursuant to this
Agreement, together with the required Group IV Vehicle Acquisition Schedules or
Refinancing Schedule, as the case may be, in respect of such Group IV Vehicle
Orders.
(e) The Lessor and the Lessees each acknowledge that either
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or after the date
of this Agreement on not less than one Business Day's written notice to the
Lessor and the Trustee, any Lessee may request that the Lessor purchase, or
finance the Lessee's purchase of, an Eligible Type II Repurchase Vehicle or an
Eligible Non-Repurchase Vehicle from a licensed independent automobile dealer
through an auction or other vehicle sale (each, an "Auction Acquired Vehicle")
for a purchase price equal to the Capitalized Cost of such Auction Acquired
Vehicle, in which event such Lessee shall, immediately upon the consummation of
such sale, lease such Auction Acquired Vehicle from the Lessor pursuant to this
Agreement (each such transaction is referred to as an "Auction Sale
Transaction"). In connection with each Auction Sale Transaction, to evidence the
conveyance of the Auction Acquired Vehicles from the applicable dealer to the
Lessor (in the case of Lessor-Owned Vehicles) or the applicable Lessee (in the
case of Financed Vehicles), the applicable Lessee shall make available to (or,
upon request by the Lessor, deliver to) the Lessor the following:
(i) a Group IV Vehicle Order (including a Group IV
Vehicle Acquisition Schedule) with respect to all Auction Acquired
Vehicles covered by such Auction Sale Transaction;
(ii) the original Certificate of Title for each Auction
Acquired Vehicle together with a completed application to retitle such
Auction Acquired Vehicle in the name of the Lessor and to have noted
thereon the Trustee's security interest in such Auction Acquired
Vehicle pursuant to the Indenture; and
(iii) a bill of sale, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Attachment D (each, an "Auction Bill of Sale"), conveying
title to the Auction Acquired Vehicles, and copies of any certificate
given by the related auction house or dealer, as applicable, regarding
the absence of liens and/or the ownership of each such Group IV
Vehicle.
5
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1(e), the Lessor
shall not acquire any Auction Acquired Vehicle for which it does not have a new
Certificate of Title if, after giving effect to such acquisition, the aggregate
Net Book Value of all such Auction Acquired Vehicles without a new Certificate
of Title would exceed 5% of the Aggregate Asset Amount. Other than Auction Sale
Transactions complying with the provisions of this Section 2.1, the Lessor shall
not purchase any Eligible Type II Repurchase Vehicles or Eligible Non-Repurchase
Vehicles for leasing or financing under this Agreement from any independent
dealer at an auction. After any purchase or financing of Group IV Vehicles by
the Lessor at auction, such Group IV Vehicles will be subject to all the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
(f) The Lessor shall lease to the Lessees, and the Lessees shall
lease from the Lessor, only Group IV Vehicles that are Eligible Vehicles. This
Agreement, together with any other related documents attached to this Agreement
or submitted with a Group IV Vehicle Order or Refinancing Schedule, including
without limitation any documents in connection with an Eligible Repurchase
Program (collectively, the "Supplemental Documents"), will constitute the entire
agreement regarding the leasing of Vehicles by the Lessor to the Lessees
hereunder.
2.2 Right of Lessees to Act as Xxxxxx's Agent. The Lessor agrees
that any member of the Lessee Group may act as the Lessor's agent in placing
Group IV Vehicle Orders on behalf of the Lessor, as well as filing claims on
behalf of the Lessor for damage in transit, and other Manufacturer delivery
claims related to the Group IV Vehicles leased hereunder; provided, however,
that the Lessor may hold the Lessee Group liable for losses due to such member
of the Lessee Group's actions in performing as the Lessor's agent hereunder. In
addition, the Lessor agrees that each Lessee may make arrangements for delivery
of Group IV Vehicles to a location selected by the relevant Lessee at such
Xxxxxx's expense. Each Lessee agrees to accept Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles
as produced and delivered, subject to the right of such Lessee to reject any
such Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles damaged in transit or not conforming to
the related Group IV Vehicle Order. Each Lessee agrees to accept Group IV
Repurchase Vehicles as produced and delivered except each Lessee will have the
option to reject any Group IV Repurchase Vehicle that may be rejected pursuant
to the terms of the applicable Repurchase Program. The relevant Lessee, acting
as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for pursuing any rights of the
Lessor with respect to the return of any Group IV Repurchase Vehicle to the
Manufacturer pursuant to the preceding two sentences. Any member of the Lessee
Group that places a Group IV Vehicle Order for a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle
pursuant to this Agreement agrees that all Group IV Repurchase Vehicles ordered
as provided herein shall be ordered utilizing the procedures consistent with the
applicable Eligible Repurchase Program.
2.3 Payment of Capitalized Cost by Xxxxxx
(a) Upon invoicing of any Group IV Vehicle by the Manufacturer or
other seller thereof, the Lessor shall make a Master Lease Advance hereunder to
pay to the Manufacturer, dealer or other seller of such Group IV Vehicle (or to
reimburse the applicable Lessee for) the costs and expenses incurred by the
Lessor or such Lessee, as
6
applicable, in connection with the acquisition of such Group IV Vehicle as
established by the invoice delivered in connection with such Group IV Vehicle
(the "Capitalized Cost"). The relevant Lessee shall be responsible for all
damage in transit and shall pay all applicable costs and expenses of freight,
packing, handling, storage, shipment and delivery of such Group IV Vehicle to
the extent that the same have not been included within the Capitalized Cost;
provided that solely in the case of any Refinanced Vehicle and any Eligible
Receivable, the Lessor shall make Master Lease Advances to pay to the applicable
owner thereof (x) the aggregate Net Book Value, Type II Repurchase Vehicle Value
or Non-Repurchase Vehicle Value (as applicable) as of the Vehicle Lease
Commencement Date of the Refinanced Vehicles and (y) the face amount of the
Eligible Receivables being refinanced on the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date.
(b) Each Master Lease Advance made by the Lessor (i) with respect
to a Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle, shall be in an amount not exceeding the
Net Book Value of such Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle, (ii) with respect to
a Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle, shall be in an amount not exceeding the
Type II Repurchase Vehicle Value of such Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle and
(iii) with respect to a Non-Repurchase Vehicle, shall be in an amount not
exceeding the Non-Repurchase Vehicle Value of such Non-Repurchase Vehicle. The
aggregate amount of Master Lease Advances outstanding at any time shall not
exceed the Maximum Lease Commitment at such time.
2.4 Non-liability of Lessor. The Lessor shall not be liable to any
of the Lessees for any failure or delay in obtaining Group IV Vehicles or making
delivery thereof. AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND EACH LESSEE, ACCEPTANCE FOR LEASE OF
THE GROUP IV VEHICLES SHALL CONSTITUTE SUCH LESSEE'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND
AGREEMENT THAT SUCH LESSEE HAS FULLY INSPECTED SUCH GROUP IV VEHICLES, THAT THE
GROUP IV VEHICLES ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION AND ARE OF THE MANUFACTURE,
DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY THE LESSEE, THAT SUCH LESSEE IS
SATISFIED THAT THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS USE AND THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT A
MANUFACTURER, AN AGENT OF A MANUFACTURER, OR OTHERWISE ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR
DISTRIBUTION OF GROUP IV VEHICLES, AND HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO
MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, DURABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IN
ANY RESPECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE PURPOSES OR USES OF SUCH LESSEE, OR
ANY WARRANTY THAT THE LEASED VEHICLES WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW
OR ANY CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT
OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO AND AS
BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND SUCH LESSEE, SUCH XXXXXX AGREES TO BEAR ALL SUCH RISKS AT
ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE. EACH LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE
CLAIMS AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY LEASED VEHICLE FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND, AS TO THE LESSOR, SUCH LESSEE LEASES
7
THE VEHICLES "AS IS." The Lessor shall not be liable for any failure or delay in
delivering any Vehicle ordered for lease pursuant to this Agreement, or for any
failure to perform any provision hereof, resulting from fire or other casualty,
natural disaster, riot, strike or other labor difficulty, governmental
regulation or restriction, or any cause beyond the Lessor's direct control. IN
NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR
ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER
CAUSED, WHETHER RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN OR ANY THEFT, DAMAGE, LOSS OR
FAILURE OF ANY VEHICLE, OR OTHERWISE AND THERE SHALL BE NO ABATEMENT OF RENT
BECAUSE OF THE SAME.
2.5 Conditions Precedent. The agreement of the Lessor to make
available any Master Lease Advance for the acquisition of any Lessor-Owned
Vehicle for lease to a Lessee and to make available any Master Lease Advance for
the acquisition of any Texas Vehicles and Hawaii Vehicles or the refinancing of
any Refinanced Vehicle for lease to a Lessee, is subject to the terms and
conditions of the Indenture and to the following conditions precedent as of the
Vehicle Lease Commencement Date for such Vehicle:
(a) Limitations on the Acquisition of Certain Vehicles.
Unless waived by the Required Noteholders as specified in the related
Series Supplements:
(i) the quotient (expressed as a percentage)
obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Non-Repurchase Vehicle
Value of all Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles leased under
this Agreement as of such date (after giving effect to the
inclusion of such Vehicle under this Agreement) by (y) the
greater of (A) the Aggregate Asset Amount as of such date
(after giving effect to the inclusion of such Vehicle under
this Agreement) and (B) the sum of the Group IV Invested
Amount as of such date plus the available subordinated amounts
for all Group IV Series of Notes as of such date, shall not
exceed the Maximum Non-Repurchase Vehicle Percentage (if any)

such Lessee may use Group IV Vehicles leased hereunder in the regular course of

request in order to
17
establish, perfect and maintain the Lessor's title to and interest in the Group
IV Vehicles and the related Certificates of Title as against such Lessee or any
third party in any applicable jurisdiction and to establish, perfect and
maintain the Trustee's Lien on the Group IV Vehicles and the related
Certificates of Title as a perfected first Lien in any applicable jurisdiction.
Each Lessee may, at the relevant Lessee's sole expense, change the place of

insuring and disposing of Group IV Vehicles and shall take reasonable steps to

Lessee shall perform, at its own expense, such Vehicle preparation and
conditioning services with respect to Group IV Vehicles purchased by the Lessor
from the Manufacturers as are customary. The Lessor, the Trustee or any
authorized representative of the Lessor or the Trustee may during reasonable
business hours from time to time, without disruption of each Lessee's business,
subject to applicable law, inspect Group IV Vehicles and registration
certificates, Certificates of Title and related documents covering Group IV
Vehicles wherever the same shall be located. Group IV Vehicles leased hereunder
may be subleased by the applicable Lessee to any other Lessee listed on Schedule
1 to this Agreement or added as a Lessee pursuant to Section 23 of this
Agreement; provided, however, that neither the original Lessee nor the Guarantor
shall be released from any of its obligations in respect of any Group IV Vehicle
so subleased.

where required, shall have Group IV Vehicles inspected by any appropriate
Governmental Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
all Certificates of Title shall at all times remain in the custody of the
Servicer in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture. The Lessee
leasing such Group IV Vehicle shall be responsible for the payment of all
registration fees, title fees, license fees, traffic summonses, penalties,
judgments and fines incurred with respect to any Group IV Vehicle during the
Vehicle Term for such Group IV Vehicle or imposed during the Vehicle Term for
such Group IV Vehicle by any Governmental Authority or any court of law or
equity with respect to Group IV Vehicles in connection with the relevant
Lessee's operation of Group IV Vehicles, and the Lessor, in its discretion, may,
but shall not be obligated to, pay any
18
such amounts on the Lessee's behalf if the Lessee's failure to pay the same
interferes with the free transferability or saleability of such Group IV Vehicle
or impairs the ability to transfer clear title to such Group IV Vehicle; and any
such amounts paid by the Lessor will be reimbursed within 30 days of the Lessor
notifying such Lessee of such payment. The Lessor agrees to execute a power of
attorney in the form of Attachment B hereto (each, a "Power of Attorney"), and
such other documents as may be necessary in order to allow the Lessees to title,
register and dispose of the Lessor-Owned Vehicles and the Texas Vehicles and
Hawaii Vehicles; provided, however, that possession of all Certificates of Title
shall at all times remain with the applicable Servicer in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture and each Lessee acknowledges and agrees that, with
respect to the Lessor-Owned Vehicles, it has no right, title or interest in or
with respect to any Certificate of Title. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Lessor may terminate such Power of Attorney as provided in Section
19 hereof.
9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Each Lessee shall pay for all
maintenance and repairs to keep Group IV Vehicles in good working order and
condition, and will maintain Group IV Vehicles as required in order to keep the
Manufacturer's warranty in force, and in the case of Group IV Repurchase
Vehicles, shall comply with all requirements of the related Repurchase Program
to the extent necessary to maintain the eligibility of such Group IV Vehicles.
Each Lessee will return Group IV Vehicles to an authorized Manufacturer facility
or the relevant Lessee's Manufacturer authorized warranty station for warranty
work. Each Lessee will comply with any Manufacturer's recall of any Group IV
Vehicle. Each Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all usual and routine
expenses incurred in the use and operation of Group IV Vehicles including, but
not limited to, fuel, lubricants, and coolants. Any such expenses not paid by,
or on behalf of, the relevant Lessee may, after 30 days notice to such Lessee,
be paid by the Lessor and any expenses incurred by the Lessor on such Xxxxxx's
behalf for maintenance, repair, operation or use of Group IV Vehicles by such
Lessee will be promptly reimbursed (in any event no later than the next monthly
Due Date following such notice) by such Lessee to the Lessor in the amount paid
by the Lessor. No Lessee shall make any material alterations to any Group IV
Vehicles without the prior consent of the Lessor. Any improvements or additions
to any Lessor-Owned Vehicle shall become and remain the property of the Lessor,
except that any addition to such a Group IV Vehicle made by the relevant Lessee
shall remain the property of such Lessee if it can be disconnected from the
Group IV Vehicle without impairing the functioning or resale value thereof,
other than any function or value provided by such addition or improvement.
10. VEHICLE WARRANTIES. If a Group IV Vehicle is covered by a
Manufacturer's warranty, each Lessee, during the Vehicle Term, shall have the
right to make any claims under such warranty which the Lessor could make and to
receive related proceeds directly. As provided in Section 2.4, the Lessor makes
no warranty or representation whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to
any Group IV Vehicle.
11. VEHICLE RETURN GUIDELINES.
11.1 Vehicle Turn-in-Condition. As used herein "vehicle turn-in
condition" with respect to each Group IV Repurchase Vehicle will be determined
in accordance with
19
the related Repurchase Program. Group IV Repurchase Vehicles not meeting the
applicable Repurchase Program's vehicle turn-in condition guidelines will,
unless redesignated as Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles in accordance with
Section 14 hereof, be purchased by the relevant Lessee in accordance with the
Casualty procedure set forth in Section 6.1.
11.2 Return. Each Lessee will return each Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle (other than a Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle disposed of in the
manner described in the third succeeding sentence hereto or a Casualty and other
than Group IV Repurchase Vehicles from Manufacturers with respect to which a
Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) to the nearest
related Manufacturer official auction or other facility designated by such
Manufacturer at the relevant Lessee's sole expense prior to the expiration of
the Type I Maximum Term or Type II Maximum Term, as applicable, for such Group
IV Vehicle. Each Lessee agrees that the Group IV Repurchase Vehicles will be in
vehicle turn-in condition as specified in the applicable Repurchase Program. Any
rebates or credits applicable to the unexpired term of any license plates for a
Group IV Repurchase Vehicle shall inure to the benefit of the relevant Lessee.
Each Lessee agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of each
Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle, each Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle not
returned to a Manufacturer and each Group IV Repurchase Vehicle from a
Manufacturer with respect to which a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing (a) in a manner most likely to maximize proceeds from such
disposition and consistent with industry practice and (b) prior to the
expiration of the Non-Repurchase Maximum Term for such Group IV Non-Repurchase
Vehicle, the Type I Maximum Term for such Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle or
the Type II Maximum Term for such Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle, as
applicable. The Lessee shall not return Group IV Repurchase Vehicles to any
Manufacturer with respect to which a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.
11.3 Termination Payments. Upon receipt of (i) payment of the
Repurchase Price or Guaranteed Payment with respect to each Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle from the Manufacturer (or the receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price
of each Group IV Repurchase Vehicle through an auction conducted by or through a
Manufacturer), the Lessor will charge the relevant Lessee for any Excess Damage
Charges, Excess Mileage Charges or early turnback surcharges as determined by
the Manufacturer or its agent in accordance with the applicable Repurchase
Program or (ii) the net proceeds from the sale of any Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle, the Lessor will charge the relevant Lessee for any damage charges or
mileage charges as determined by the Lessor in its reasonable judgment (any such
charges in (i) or (ii) are referred to as a "Termination Payment"). The
provisions of this Section 11.3 will survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term.
11.4 Repurchase Price Interest. The applicable Lessee shall pay to
the Lessor, as part of the Monthly Base Rent, interest accrued at a rate equal
to the VFR on the Repurchase Price of each Group IV Repurchase Vehicle for the
period between the Turnback Date for such Group IV Vehicle and receipt of such
Repurchase Price by the
20
Lessor from the Manufacturer ("Repurchase Price Interest"). The provisions of
this Section 11.4 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term.
12. DISPOSITION PROCEDURE. Each Lessee will comply with the
requirements of law and, with respect to Group IV Repurchase Vehicles, the
requirements of the Repurchase Programs in connection with, among other things,
the delivery of Certificates of Title and documents of transfer signed as
necessary in connection with the sale of any Group IV Vehicle to a third party
or the return of any Group IV Repurchase Vehicle in accordance with an Eligible
Repurchase Program. In addition, with respect to the return of a Group IV
Repurchase Vehicle to a Manufacturer or the delivery of a Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle to an authorized auction site, the Lessee thereof shall also deliver a
signed Condition Report and signed odometer statement to be submitted with such
Group IV Repurchase Vehicle and accepted by the Manufacturer or its agent at the
time of Group IV Repurchase Vehicle return or delivery, as applicable. If a
Group IV Repurchase Vehicle (other than a Vehicle that becomes a Casualty prior
to the end of the applicable Vehicle Term) is not returned to the Manufacturer
and accepted by the Manufacturer, or delivered to (and accepted by) an
authorized auction site, prior to the expiration of the Type I Maximum Term or
Type II Maximum Term, as applicable, with respect to such Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle, the relevant Lessee shall, unless such Group IV Repurchase Vehicle has
been redesignated as a Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle in accordance with
Section 14 hereof or, in the case of a Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle,
otherwise sold in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof, purchase such Group IV
Repurchase Vehicle for the appropriate Vehicle Purchase Price (or Net Book Value
in the case of a Vehicle leased under Annex B) and pay the Lessor such amount
(such amount, the "Late Return Payment") within fifteen (15) days after the end
of the Type I Maximum Term or Type II Maximum Term, as applicable, (together
with any Repurchase Price Interest accrued from the last day of the Type I
Maximum Term or Type II Maximum Term, as applicable, to the date that such
payment is received by the Lessor).
13. ODOMETER DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT. Each Lessee agrees to comply
with all requirements of law and, with respect to Group IV Repurchase Vehicles,
all Repurchase Program requirements in connection with the transfer of ownership
of any Group IV Vehicle by the Lessor, including, without limitation, the
submission of any required odometer disclosure statement at the time of any such
transfer of ownership.
14. REDESIGNATION OF VEHICLES
(a) Upon a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle's becoming ineligible for
repurchase by its Manufacturer or for sale in accordance with applicable
Repurchase Program procedures, due to physical damage, repair charges or accrued
mileage, in each case in excess of that permitted under the related Repurchase
Program, or due to any failure or inability to return such Group IV Vehicle to
the Manufacturer or the designated auction site prior to the expiration of the
Maximum Term, or due to any other event or circumstance, the Servicer may
designate such Vehicle as a Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle if such Group IV
Vehicle, as a Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle, will be an Eligible
Non-Repurchase Vehicle and an Eligible Vehicle and if either (a) such
21
designation meets the applicable conditions of Section 2.5 hereof or (b) the
Noteholders holding the requisite Invested Amount of each applicable Series of
Notes included in the Group IV Series of Notes waive, in each case as and to the
extent permitted under the related Series Supplement, the requirements of
Section 2.5 as applied to this Section 14 and all such other conditions,
requirements or restrictions with respect to which a failure or violation has
occurred; provided, in each case, that (x) any additional Monthly Base Rent due
with respect to each such Group IV Vehicle, relating to the decrease, if any, of
the Net Book Value of such Group IV Vehicle under the newly applicable
Depreciation Schedule, shall be paid by the applicable Lessee on the next
succeeding Due Date, and (y) the minimum level of Enhancement required under the
applicable Series Supplement, after giving effect to such designation, shall be
satisfied on the date of designation.
(b) The Servicer may designate a Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle
as a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle if such Group IV Vehicle, as a Group IV
Repurchase Vehicle, will be an Eligible Repurchase Vehicle and if either (a)
such designation meets the applicable conditions of Section 2.5 hereof or (b)
the Noteholders holding the requisite Invested Amount of each applicable Series
of Notes included in the Group IV Series of Notes waive, in each case as and to
the extent permitted under the related Series Supplement, the requirements of
Section 2.5 as applied to this Section 14 and all such other conditions,
requirements or restrictions with respect to which a failure or violation has
occurred; provided, however, that (i) the Capitalized Cost, Net Book Value and
Depreciation Charges with respect to such Vehicle shall be recalculated as of
the date of such redesignation as if such Group IV Vehicle were a Group IV
Repurchase Vehicle at the time of the initial related Vehicle Lease Commencement
Date, and (ii) the related Manufacturer has acknowledged such designation. Upon
any redesignation of a Vehicle pursuant to this Section 14(b), (x) the Lessor
shall advance to the applicable Manufacturer the difference (if any) between the
original Capitalized Cost of such Vehicle and the Capitalized Cost of such
Vehicle upon redesignation, to the extent that such amount is then due and
payable to the Manufacturer, which amount shall be deemed to be part of the
Capitalized Cost of such Vehicle and (y) the applicable Lessee shall be entitled
to a credit against the Monthly Base Rent due on the next succeeding Due Date in
an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Net Book Value of such Vehicle
upon such redesignation over the Net Book Value of such Vehicle immediately
prior to such redesignation.
15. GENERAL INDEMNITY.
15.1 Indemnity by the Lessees. Each member of the Lessee Group
agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor and the
Lessor's directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the

which may be payable by the Lessor in connection with this Agreement or
the other Related Documents;
15.1.3 any violation by the relevant member of the Lessee
Group of this Agreement or of any Related Documents to which such
member of the Lessee Group is a party or by which it is bound or any
laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees,
consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations or licenses of any
governmental or public body or authority and all other requirements
having the force of law applicable at any time to any Group IV Vehicle
or any action or transaction by such member of the Lessee Group with
respect thereto or pursuant to this Agreement;
15.1.4 all-out-of-pocket costs of the Lessor (including the
fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Lessor) in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Related Documents, including, without
limitation, overhead expenses and any and all fees of the Trustee, all
fees payable in connection with any Enhancement for the benefit of the
Holders of Notes included in the Group IV Series of Notes, any and all

any Group IV Series of Notes), fees, if any, payable to the Rating

Notes or any class thereof and any underwriting or placement agency
fees, if any, incurred in connection with the sale of any Group IV
Series of Notes or any class thereof;
15.1.5 all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys, fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lessor,
the Trustee or the Holders of Notes included in the Group IV Series of
Notes in connection with the administration, enforcement, waiver or
amendment of this Agreement and any
23
other Related Documents and all indemnification obligations of the
Lessor under the Related Documents; and
15.1.6 all costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities
(including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of

with any audit or investigation conducted by a Manufacturer under its
Repurchase Program).
15.2 Reimbursement Obligation by the Lessee Group. Each member of
the Lessee Group shall forthwith upon demand reimburse the Lessor for any sum or
sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing, or shall pay such amounts
directly upon request from the Lessor; provided, however, that, if so requested
by the relevant member of the Lessee Group, the Lessor shall submit to such
member of the Lessee Group a statement documenting any such demand for
reimbursement or prepayment. To the extent that the relevant member of the
Lessee Group in fact indemnifies the Lessor under the indemnity provisions of
this Agreement, such member of the Lessee Group shall be subrogated to the
Lessor's rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine
the settlement of claims therein. The foregoing indemnity as contained in this
Section 15 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement
or any lease of any Group IV Vehicle hereunder.
15.3 Defense of Claims. Defense of any claim referred to in this
Section 15 for which indemnity may be required shall, at the option and request
of the Indemnified Person, be conducted by the relevant member of the Lessee
Group. The relevant member of the Lessee Group will inform the Indemnified
Person of any such claim and of the defense thereof and will provide copies of
material documents relating to any such claim or defense to such Indemnified
Person upon request. Such Indemnified Person may participate in any such defense
at its own expense provided such participation does not interfere with the
relevant member of the Lessee Group's assertion of such claim or defense. The
relevant member of the Lessee Group agrees that no Indemnified Person will be
liable to such member of the Lessee Group for any claim caused directly or
indirectly by the inadequacy of any Group IV Vehicle for any purpose or any
deficiency or defect therein or the use or maintenance thereof or any repairs,
servicing or adjustments thereto or any delay in providing or failure to provide
such or any interruption or loss of service or use thereof or any loss of
business, all of which shall be the risk and responsibility of such member of
the Lessee Group. The rights and indemnities of each Indemnified Person
hereunder are expressly made for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by,
each Indemnified Person notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified Person is
either no longer a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this
Agreement, or was not a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this
Agreement at its outset. Except as otherwise set forth herein, nothing herein
shall be deemed to require the relevant member of the Lessee Group to indemnify
the Lessor for any of the Lessor's acts or omissions which constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct. This general indemnity shall not affect any
claims of the type discussed
24
above which the relevant member of the Lessee Group may have against the
Manufacturer.
16. ASSIGNMENT.
16.1 Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement. The Lessor shall
have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of Group IV Vehicles by
selling or assigning its right, title and interest in moneys due from each
Lessee and any third party under this Agreement; provided, however, that any
such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of the
relevant Lessee in such Vehicles, including but not limited to such Xxxxxx's
right of quiet and peaceful possession of the Lessor-Owned Vehicles as set forth
in Section 12 of Annex A to this Agreement, and under this Agreement.
16.2 Limitations on the Right of the Lessee to Assign this
Agreement. No Lessee shall, except as provided in the Indenture, without prior
written consent of the Lessor and the Trustee at the written direction of the
Required Beneficiaries, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to
any other party; provided, however, the relevant Lessee may rent vehicles under
the terms of such Lessee's normal daily rental programs. Any purported
assignment in violation of this Section 16.2 shall be void and of no force or
effect. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of any
Lessee to acquire or dispose of, by purchase, lease, financing, or otherwise,
motor vehicles that are not subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
17. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR.
17.1 Lease Events of Default. Any one or more of the following will
constitute an event of default (a "Lease Event of Default") as that term is used
herein:
17.1.1 Payment Default. There occurs (i) a default in the
payment of any Monthly Base Rent and the continuance thereof for a
period of two Business Days, (ii) a default in the payment of any

described in Section 17.1.1 or 17.1.2), including, but not limited to,
usage and maintenance, and such default continues for more than thirty
(30) days after the earlier to occur of (a) the date a Responsible
Officer
25
of the Lessee obtains knowledge of such default or (b) the date written
notice thereof is delivered by the Lessor or the Trustee to such
Lessee; provided, however, that if such failure cannot reasonably be
cured within such thirty (30) day period, no Lease Event of Default
shall result therefrom so long as, within such thirty (30) day period,
such Lessee (i) commences to cure same, (ii) delivers written notice to
the Lessor and the Trustee notifying the Lessor and the Trustee of such
default and setting forth the steps such Lessee intends to take in
order to cure such default and (iii) thereafter diligently prosecutes
such cure to completion and completely cures such default on or before
the fiftieth (50th) day after the earlier of the dates set forth in
clause (a) and clause (b) above;
17.1.4 Breach of Representation or Warranty. Subject to the

issuance or making thereof and is not cured within 30 days after notice
thereof from the Lessor or the Trustee to the Lessee Group;
17.1.5 Bankruptcy Related Events. Subject to the provisions
of Section 19 hereof regarding Lessee Partial Wind-Down Events, (i) the

appointment, in such case, of a responsible officer, chapter 11
trustee, or an examiner with powers beyond the duty to investigate and

Code or (iii) the filing by the Guarantor or any affiliate thereof of a
motion for the Bankruptcy Court to enter an order, or the entry of an
order with the Bankruptcy Court, in either case without the express
prior written consent of the Group IV Noteholders, to revoke, reverse,

authorizing the entry into this Lease by the Guarantor and each Group
IV Lessee and two (2) Business Days elapse without the withdrawal,
dismissal or stay of such motion or order, as the case may be;
17.1.6 Invalidity of Group IV Related Documents. All or any
material portion of this Lease shall at any time and for any reason not
be in full force and effect or be declared to be null and void, or a
proceeding shall be commenced by a Group IV Lessee or the Guarantor, or
by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Group IV
Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, seeking to establish the
invalidity or unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of

Bankruptcy Order shall, for any reason, cease to create a valid Lien on
any of the Group IV Collateral purported to be covered thereby or such
Lien shall cease to be a perfected, first priority Lien pursuant to
section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code against the Group IV Collateral of
any of the Group IV Lessees (or an application or motion shall be filed
by any of Budget or the Group IV Lessees for the approval of an order
of the Bankruptcy Court which would result in such Lien ceasing to be a
perfected, first priority Lien pursuant to section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code against the Group IV Collateral of any of the Group IV
Lessees), or the Bankruptcy Court Order as it relates to any material
provision of any Related Document purported to be covered thereby
shall, for any reason, cease to be valid and binding on each of Budget
and the Group IV Lessees party thereto or any of Budget or any of the
Group IV Lessees shall so state in writing; provided that, if either
(x) the Lien on the Group IV Collateral referred to above shall cease
to be a perfected, first priority Lien pursuant to section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code against the Group IV Collateral of any of the Group IV
Lessees or (y) the Bankruptcy Order is no longer valid or binding on
any of Budget or the Group IV Lessees, as a result of an order of the
Bankruptcy Court entered subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court Order, two
(2) Business Days elapse without the withdrawal, dismissal or stay of
such subsequent order.
17.1.10 Lift Stay Motion or Order. A motion is filed, or
consented to in writing, by Budget or either Group IV Lessee with the
Bankruptcy Court for entry of an order, or the entry by the Bankruptcy
Court of an order, in either case without the express written consent
of the Agent or the Series 2002-1 Note Purchaser, granting relief from
the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code that (i)
permits a pre-petition secured party to foreclose on assets of Budget
or any Group IV Lessee which have a value in excess of $35 million in
the aggregate or (ii) permits the Trustee to enforce its rights and
remedies in respect of a failure to make Rent payments due under a
Lease and, in either case, two (2) Business Days elapse without the
withdrawal, dismissal or stay of such motion or order, as the case may
be; provided, however, that any motion for an order, or any order,
granting Liens or other relief from the automatic stay under Section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code entered into on or prior to the date hereof
in connection with Budget's or the Group IV Lessees'
debtor-in-possession financing shall not constitute an Event of Default
hereunder.
17.2 Effect of Lease Event of Default. If (i) a Lease Event of
Default described in Section 17.1.1, 17.1.2, 17.1.5, 17.1.6 (to the extent that
all or a material portion of this Lease shall at any time and for any reason not
be in full force and effect or be declared null and void), 17.1.7 or 17.1.8
shall occur, then the Monthly Base Rent, Casualty Payments, the Monthly
Supplemental Payments (calculated as if all Financed Vehicles had become a
Casualty for the Related Month), the Monthly Variable Rent and Monthly Finance
Rent (calculated as if the full amount of interest, principal and other charges
27
under all Outstanding Group IV Series of Notes were then due and payable in
full), the Monthly Supplemental Rent (calculated as if the full amount of
interest, principal and other charges under all Outstanding Group IV Series of
Notes were then due and payable in full) and, with respect to Group IV
Non-Repurchase Vehicles and Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicles, the Additional
Base Rent, if any, shall, automatically, without further action by the Lessor or
the Trustee, become immediately due and payable or (ii) any other Lease Event of
Default or any Limited Liquidation Event of Default, in each case, with respect
to any outstanding Group IV Series of Notes shall occur, the Lessor or the
Trustee (provided a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or
has received written notice of such Lease Event of Default or any Limited
Liquidation Event of Default) may declare the Rent (calculated as described in
clause (i) above) to be due and payable, whereupon such Rent (as so calculated)
shall, subject to Section 17.5, become immediately due and payable.
17.3 Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default or Limited
Liquidation Event of Default. If a Lease Event of Default or Limited Liquidation
Event of Default (in each case, with respect to any outstanding Group IV Series
of Notes) shall occur, then, the Lessor at its option may:
(i) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions,
either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by the Lessee Group
(or such member(s) thereof against which the Lessor determines to
exercise its remedies hereunder) of the applicable covenants and terms
of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof
calculated in accordance with Section 17.5; or
(ii) By notice in writing to the Lessee Group (or such
member(s) thereof against which the Lessor determines to exercise its
remedies hereunder), terminate this Agreement in its entirety (or in
respect only of the applicable member(s) thereof) and/or the right of
possession hereunder of the Lessee Group (or the applicable member(s)
thereof) as to the Group IV Vehicles, and the Lessor may direct
delivery by the Lessee Group (or the applicable member(s) thereof) of
documents of title to the Group IV Vehicles, whereupon all rights and
interests of the Lessee Group (or the applicable member(s) thereof) to
the Group IV Vehicles will cease and terminate (but the Lessee Group
(or the applicable member(s) thereof) will remain liable hereunder as
herein provided; provided, however, the Lessee Group's liability will
be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5); and thereupon, the
Lessor or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the
applicable Lessee(s) or other premises where the Group IV Vehicles may
be located and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess
and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessee Group (or the
applicable member(s) thereof), or their successors or assigns, to use
the Group IV Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever, and the Lessor will,
nevertheless, have a right to recover from the Lessee Group (or the
applicable member(s) thereof) any and all amounts which under the terms
of Section 17.2 (as limited by Section 17.5) of this Agreement may be
then due. The Lessor will provide the Lessee Group (or the applicable
member(s) thereof) with written notice of the place and time of the
sale of such Group IV Vehicles at least five days prior to the proposed
sale, which
28
shall be deemed commercially reasonable, and any Lessee may purchase
the Group IV Vehicle(s) at the sale. Each and every power and remedy
hereby specifically given to the Lessor will be in addition to every
other power and remedy hereby specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and every power
and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as
often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor;
provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against the
Lessees will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5.
All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of
one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or
others. No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such
power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due
hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to
be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein. Any extension
of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to the
Lessee Group (or the applicable member(s) thereof) will not otherwise
alter or affect the Lessor's rights or the obligations hereunder of the
Lessee Group (or the applicable member(s) thereof). The Lessor's
acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will
not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor's rights hereunder with
respect to any subsequent payments or defaults herein; or
(iii) By notice in writing to the Lessee Group (or such
member(s) thereof against which the Lessor determines to exercise its
remedies hereunder), terminate the Power of Attorney.
17.4 Rights of Trustee Upon Limited Liquidation Event of Default
and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants.
(i) If a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a
Manufacturer Event of Default (in each case, with respect to any
outstanding Group IV Series of Notes), shall have occurred and be

completion of Vehicle Perfection and Documentation Requirements on
behalf of the Guarantor or the Lessee, as applicable.
(iv) Upon the occurrence of a Limited Liquidation Event of
Default with respect to any outstanding Group IV Series of Notes, the

Non-Repurchase Vehicles and to direct the Guarantor or the applicable
Lessee to dispose of such Group IV Vehicles in accordance with its
instructions. In addition, the Lessor shall have all of the rights,
remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-a-vis the Guarantor or any

turned back to the Manufacturer under the applicable Repurchase Program
and accepted for repurchase by such Manufacturer (as evidenced by a
Condition Report indicating that such Group IV Repurchase Vehicle
conforms to the requirements for repurchase under such Repurchase

connection with such sale or disposition, including any reasonable costs
associated with repairing any Group IV Vehicles, and reasonable attorneys' fees
in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) to the payment of
outstanding Rent (such payments to be applied first to outstanding Monthly
Variable Rent and Monthly Finance Rent, then to outstanding Monthly Supplemental

31
Non-Repurchase Vehicles, to outstanding Additional Base Rent), (iii) to the
payment of all other amounts due hereunder, and (iv) any remaining amounts to

18. MANUFACTURER EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of any of
the following events (each, a "Manufacturer Event of Default") with respect to
any Manufacturer (subject to the provisions of Section 20 hereof regarding
Eligibility Waiver Events), the relevant Lessee on behalf of the Lessor (a)
shall no longer place Group IV Vehicle Orders from such Manufacturer (each, a
"Defaulting Manufacturer") for (x) any additional Group IV Vehicles in the event
of any Manufacturer Event of Default arising under Section 18.1 or 18.3, (y) any
additional Group IV Repurchase Vehicles in the event of any Manufacturer Event
of Default arising under Section 18.2, 18.4(i) or 18.5 and (z) any additional

Default arising under Section 18.4(ii) and (b) shall cancel any Group IV Vehicle
Order with such Defaulting Manufacturer to which a VIN has not been assigned as

18.1 The failure of such Manufacturer to pay any amount when due
pursuant to the related Repurchase Program with respect to a Repurchase Vehicle
(whether Group IV Repurchase Vehicles or otherwise) turned in to such
Manufacturer or delivered to an authorized auction site pursuant to the related
Repurchase Program; provided, however, that (a) in the case of an Eligible Type
I Repurchase Manufacturer, such failure continues for more than sixty (60) days
following the Turnback Date such that the aggregate of any such amounts not paid
for more than 60 days are in the aggregate in excess of $40,000,000 in respect
of Group IV Vehicles and (b) in the case of an Eligible IV Type II Repurchase
Manufacturer, such failure continues for more than forty-five (45) days
following the Turnback Date such that the aggregate of any such amounts not paid
for more than 45 days are in the aggregate in excess of $10,000,000 in respect
of Group IV Vehicles or such higher amount determined by the Rating Agencies (or
the Required Noteholders of any Group IV Series of Notes that is not rated),
and, in all cases, net of amounts that are the subject of a good faith dispute
as evidenced in writing by either a member of the Lessee Group or the
Manufacturer questioning the accuracy of the amounts paid or payable in respect
of certain Repurchase Vehicles tendered for repurchase, or delivered to an
authorized auction site, under a Repurchase Program.
18.2 The termination of such Manufacturer's Repurchase Program
(subject to the provisions of Section 20 hereof regarding Eligibility Waiver
Events).
18.3 The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to such
Manufacturer.
18.4 Such Manufacturer is no longer (i) an Eligible Type I
Repurchase Manufacturer or Eligible Type II Repurchase Manufacturer in the case
of Group IV Repurchase Vehicles, or (ii) Eligible Non-Repurchase Manufacturer,
in the case of Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles.
32
18.5 The Repurchase Program of such Manufacturer shall no longer be
an Eligible Repurchase Program (subject, in each case, to the provisions of
Section 20 hereof regarding Eligibility Waiver Events).
19. LESSEE PARTIAL WIND-DOWN EVENTS. Upon the occurrence of any of
the events described in Sections 17.1.3, 17.1.4, or 17.1.5 with respect to any
member (such member, the "Defaulting Lessee") of the Lessee Group other than the
Guarantor (a "Lessee Partial Wind-Down Event"), then such Defaulting Lessee
shall (a) no longer place Group IV Vehicle Orders for additional Group IV
Vehicles and (b) shall cancel Group IV Vehicle Orders for Vehicles; provided,
however, that if a Group IV Vehicle Order has been placed for a Lessor-Owned
Vehicle and the related Manufacturer has assigned a VIN as of the date such
Lessee Partial Wind-Down Event occurs, then such Group IV Vehicle Order will not
be canceled. In the case of a Lessee Partial Wind-Down Event, the Lessor may (i)
exercise any right or remedy in respect only of such Defaulting Lessee provided
for pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.3 or 17.4 hereof and (ii) terminate
the Power of Attorney with respect to such Defaulting Lessee.
20. ELIGIBILITY WAIVER EVENTS. In the event that a Manufacturer
Event of Default occurs by reason of an event stated in Section 18.2 or 18.5 (a
"Manufacturer Wind-Down Event"), then if (i) the Series Supplement for any Group
IV Series of Notes outstanding under the Indenture provides for the right of all
or less than all of the Noteholders to waive such Manufacturer Wind-Down Event
and (ii) the Required Noteholders in respect of each Group IV Series of Notes
waives such Manufacturer Wind-Down Event, the Lessees may continue to place
Vehicle Orders for the purchase of Group IV Repurchase Vehicles or Group IV
Non-Repurchase Vehicles from such Defaulting Manufacturer through this
Agreement; provided, however, the total Net Book Value of all Group IV
Repurchase Vehicles leased hereunder through any Defaulting Manufacturer shall
not exceed the Maximum Manufacturer Percentage, if any, for the Defaulting
Manufacturer of the Net Book Value of all Group IV Repurchase Vehicles leased
under this Agreement; and, provided, further, that in the event a Lessee seeks
any such waiver of a Manufacturer Wind-Down Event such Lessee shall in
connection therewith propose a Maximum Defaulting Manufacturer Percentage for
such Defaulting Manufacturer and the resulting Maximum Manufacturer Percentage,
if any, for the Defaulting Manufacturer shall equal that percentage of the
proposed Maximum Defaulting Manufacturer Percentage which corresponds to the
percentage of Group IV Noteholders which consent to such waiver. Any such waiver
by any such Required Noteholders shall be referred to as an "Eligibility Waiver
Event."
21. CERTIFICATION OF TRADE OR BUSINESS USE. Each Lessee hereby
warrants and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that (1) such Lessee intends
to use the Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder in a trade or
business of such Lessee, and (2) such Lessee has been advised that it will not
be treated as the owner of such Lessor-Owned Vehicles for federal income tax
purposes.
22. SURVIVAL. In the event that, during the term of this
Agreement, any member of the Lessee Group becomes liable for the payment or
reimbursement of any obligations, claims or taxes pursuant to any provision
hereof, such liability will continue,
33
notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, until all such
amounts are paid or reimbursed by such Xxxxxx.
23. ADDITIONAL LESSEES. Any Affiliate of or direct or indirect
Subsidiary of the Guarantor (each, a "Guarantor Subsidiary") shall, with the
consent of the Guarantor, have the right to become a "Lessee" under and pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement by complying with the provisions of this Section
23. In the event a Guarantor Subsidiary desires to become a "Lessee" under this
Agreement, then the Guarantor and such party shall execute and deliver to the
Lessor and the Trustee:

and the Trustee showing no evidence of Xxxxx filed against such party
that purport to affect any Group IV Vehicles leased hereunder or any
Collateral under the Indenture;
(vii) evidence of the filing of proper financing statements
on Form UCC-1 naming such party, as debtor, the Lessor as assignor and
the Trustee as secured party covering the collateral described in
Section 2(b) hereof;

each stating that such joinder by such party complies with this Section
23 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
such transaction have been complied with or waived in accordance
herewith;
34
(ix) Rating Agency Confirmation under and as defined in
the related Series Supplement with respect to such party becoming a
"Lessee" under this Agreement shall have been obtained with respect to
each Group IV Series of Notes; and
(x) any additional documentation that the Lessor or the
Trustee may require to evidence the assumption by such party of the
obligations and liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and receipt by such Guarantor
Subsidiary of the applicable Joinder in Lease executed by the Lessor, such
Guarantor Subsidiary shall for all purposes be deemed to be a "Lessee" for
purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Guaranty) and
shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the liabilities and obligations
of a Lessee hereunder.
24. GUARANTY.
24.1 Guaranty. In order to induce the Lessor to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to lease Group IV Vehicles to the Lessees, and in
consideration thereof, the Guarantor hereby (i) unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to the Lessor the obligations of the Lessees (including, without
limitation, any additional Lessees pursuant to Section 23) to make any payments
required to be made by them under this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause the
Lessees to duly and punctually perform and observe all of the terms, conditions,
covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Lessees under this Agreement, and
(iii) agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever, any Lessee fails to so perform
and observe such terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities, the
Guarantor will duly and punctually perform and observe the same (the obligations
referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to as
the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor
under the guaranty contained in this Section 24 (this "Guaranty") will be
absolute and unconditional under all circumstances. This Guaranty shall be a
guaranty of payment and not of collection, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that
it shall not be required that the Lessor or the Trustee assert or enforce any
rights against any of the Lessees or any other person before or as a condition
to the obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
24.2 Scope of Guarantor's Liability. The Guarantor's obligations
hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Lessees, any other guarantor
or any other Person, and the Lessor may enforce any of its rights hereunder
independently of any other right or remedy that the Lessor may at any time hold
with respect to this Agreement or any security or other guaranty therefor.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessor may bring a
separate action against the Guarantor without first proceeding against any of
the Lessees, any other guarantor or any other Person, or any security held by
the Lessor, and regardless of whether the Lessees or any other guarantor or any
other Person is joined in any such action. The Guarantor's liability hereunder
shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full amount due from the
Lessees hereunder. The Lessor's rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any
action taken by the Lessor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid
and performed. The liability of the
35
Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of the
Lessor shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of
the Guaranteed Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or
returned by the Lessor upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any
of the Lessees, any other guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as
though such amount had not been paid.
24.3 Lessor's Right to Amend this Agreement, Etc. The Guarantor
authorizes the Lessor, at any time and from time to time without notice and
without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to: (a) alter the
terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security and
guaranties therefor including without limitation modification of times for
payment and rates of interest; (b) accept new or additional instruments,
documents, agreements, security or guaranties in connection with all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed
Obligations; (d) waive, release, reconvey, terminate, abandon, subordinate,
exchange, substitute, transfer, compound, compromise, liquidate and enforce all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or guaranties
therefor, and apply any such security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof (and bid and purchase at any such sale), as the Lessor in its discretion
may determine; (e) release any Lessee, any guarantor or any other Person from
any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; and (f) assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part.
24.4 Waiver of Certain Rights by Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby
waives each of the following to the fullest extent allowed by law:
(a) any defense based upon:
(i) the unenforceability or invalidity of any
security or other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations or
the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii) any act or omission of the Lessor or any
other Person that directly or indirectly results in the
discharge or release of any of the Lessees or any other Person
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor;
provided that the Guarantor's liability in respect of this
Guaranty shall be released to the extent the Lessor
voluntarily releases such Lessee or other Person from any
obligations with respect to any of the foregoing; or
(iii) any disability or any other defense of any
Lessee or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether consensual or arising by operation of law
or any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding, or
from any other cause;
(b) any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to
require the Lessor, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty,
to:
(i) accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations;
36
(ii) give notice to the Guarantor of the terms,
time and place of any public or private sale of any security
for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(iii) proceed against any Lessee, any other
guarantor or any other Person, or proceed against or exhaust
any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) all rights of subrogation, all rights to enforce any
remedy that the Lessor now or hereafter has against any Lessee or any
other Person, and any benefit of, and right to participate in, any
security now or hereafter held by the Lessor with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind,
including without limitation notices of default and notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty;
(e) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature
otherwise available under New York law and the laws of any other
jurisdiction; and
(f) all other rights and defenses the assertion or
exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of the
Guarantor hereunder.
24.5 Lessees' Obligations to Guarantor and Guarantor's Obligations
to Lessees Subordinated. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid
in full, the Guarantor agrees that all existing and future debts, obligations
and liabilities of the Lessees to the Guarantor or the Guarantor to any of the
Lessees (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Subordinated Debt") shall be
and hereby are expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and the payment of any Subordinated Debt is expressly
deferred in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations. For purposes of this Section 24.5, to the extent the Guaranteed
Obligations consist of the obligation to pay money, the Guaranteed Obligations
shall not be deemed paid in full unless and until paid in full in cash.
(a) Upon any distribution of assets of the Guarantor or any Lessee
upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Lessee,
whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings,
or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of
the assets and liabilities of the Guarantor or such Lessee, or otherwise:
(i) first, the holders of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be entitled to receive payment in full of
the Guaranteed Obligations before the Guarantor or the Lessee,
as the case may be, is entitled to receive any payment on
account of the Subordinated Debt;
(ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets
of, the Guarantor or such Lessee of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which such Lessee
or the Guarantor would be entitled except for this
subordination shall be paid or delivered by the Person making
such
37
payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a
receiver or liquidating trustee, or otherwise, directly to the
Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Guaranteed
Obligations to be held as additional security for the
Guaranteed Obligations in an interest bearing account until
the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full; and
(iii) if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Guarantor or
such Lessee of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, in respect of any Subordinated Debt
shall be received by such Lessee or the Guarantor before the
Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full, such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust in an interest bearing
account of the Guarantor or such Lessee, as appropriate, and
immediately paid over in kind to the holders of the Guaranteed
Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in
full in accordance with the priorities specified in clause (i)
above.
(b) The Guarantor authorizes and directs each Lessee and each
Lessee authorizes and directs the Guarantor to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate and maintain the subordination provided
herein.
(c) No right of any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations to
enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced
or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Guarantor, any
Lessee, the Lessor or any other Person or by any noncompliance by the Guarantor,
any Lessee, the Lessor or any other Person with the terms, provisions and
covenants hereof or of the Related Documents regardless of any knowledge thereof
that any such holder of the Guaranteed Obligations may have or be otherwise
charged with.
(d) Nothing express or implied herein shall give any Person other
than the Lessees, the Lessor, the Trustee and the Guarantor any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.
(e) If the Guarantor shall institute or participate in any suit,
action or proceeding against any Lessee or any Lessee shall institute or
participate in any suit, action or proceeding against the Guarantor, in
violation of the terms hereof, such Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea this subordination, and the holders
of the Guaranteed Obligations are irrevocably authorized to intervene and to
interpose such defense or plea in their name or in the name of such Lessee or
the Guarantor, as the case may be.
24.6 Guarantor to Pay Lessor's Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to
pay to the Lessor, on demand, all costs and expenses, including attorneys' and
other professional and paraprofessional fees, incurred by the Lessor in
exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the
enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not any action is filed in connection
therewith. Until paid to the Lessor, such amounts shall bear interest,
commencing with the Lessor's demand therefor, at the VFR plus 1%.
38
24.7 Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the amounts
payable by any Lessee under this Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Lessor, upon an event of bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any member of the Lessee Group or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any member of the Lessee Group or any
substantial part of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made.
24.8 Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Guarantor (i) represents and
warrants that, as of the date hereof, the obligations of the Guarantor under
this Guaranty will rank pari passu with any existing unsecured indebtedness of
the Guarantor and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof
the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty will rank pari passu with
any unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor incurred after the date hereof.
25. RIGHTS OF XXXXXX ASSIGNED TO TRUSTEE. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each member of the Lessee Group
acknowledges that the Lessor has assigned all of its rights under this Agreement
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes included in the Group IV
Series of Notes. Accordingly, each member of the Lessee Group agrees that:
(i) Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee
shall have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the
Lessor hereunder and the Guarantor's and the relevant Lessee's
obligations hereunder shall not be subject to any claim or defense
which the Guarantor or such Lessee may have against the Lessor (other
than the defense of payment actually made). Specifically, each member
of the Lessee Group agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Amortization
Event with respect to any Group IV Series of Notes or, subject to the
provisions of Section 19 hereof, a Lessee Partial Wind-Down Event or,
with respect to Group IV Repurchase Vehicles, subject to the provisions
of Section 20, a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Trustee may
exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against
any member of the Lessee Group provided for herein and no member of the
Lessee Group will interpose as a defense that such claim should have
been asserted by the Lessor;
(ii) Upon the delivery by the Trustee of any notice to any
member of the Lessee Group stating that a Manufacturer Event of
Default, an Amortization Event or Lessee Partial Wind-Down Event (in
each case, with respect to any outstanding Group IV Series of Notes)
with respect to such Lessee has occurred, then such member of the
Lessee Group, will, if so requested by the Trustee, treat the Trustee
or the Trustee's designee for all purposes as the Lessor hereunder and
in all respects comply with all obligations under this Agreement that
are asserted by the Trustee as the successor to the Lessor hereunder,
irrespective of whether such member of the Lessee Group has received
any such notice from the Lessor; provided, however, the Trustee shall
in no event be liable to any Lessee for any
39
action taken by it in its capacity as successor to the Lessor other
than actions that constitute negligence or willful misconduct;
(iii) Each member of the Lessee Group acknowledges that
pursuant to the Indenture the Lessor has irrevocably authorized and
directed such member of the Lessee Group to, and each such member of
the Lessee Group shall, make payments of Rent hereunder (and any other
payments hereunder) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the Group IV

ANNEX
TO THE
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED
MASTER MOTOR VEHICLE LEASE AGREEMENT GROUP IV
Dated as of August 6, 2002
among
TEAM FLEET FINANCING CORPORATION,
as Lessor
BUDGET GROUP, INC.,
as Guarantor
and
BUDGET RENT A CAR SYSTEMS, INC.
and those Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Budget Group, Inc.
named on Schedule 1 as Lessees
1. Scope of Annex. This Annex A shall apply only to the
acquisition, leasing and servicing of the Lessor-Owned Vehicles by the Lessor
pursuant to the Agreement, as supplemented by this Lease Annex (collectively,
the "Operating Lease").
2. General Agreement. With respect to the Lessor-Owned Vehicles,
the Lessees and the Lessor intend that the Agreement, as supplemented by this
Lease Annex, is an operating lease and that the relationship between the Lessor
and the Lessees pursuant thereto and hereto shall always be only that of lessor
and lessees, and the Lessees hereby declare, acknowledge and agree that the
Lessor has title to and is the owner of the Lessor-Owned Vehicles. The Lessees
shall not acquire by virtue of the Lease any right, equity, title or interest in
or to any Lessor-Owned Vehicles, except the right to use the same under the
terms of the Operating Lease. The parties agree that the Operating Lease is a
"true lease" for all legal, accounting, tax and other purposes and agree to
treat the Operating Lease, as it applies to the Lessor-Owned Vehicles, as an
operating lease for all purposes, including tax, accounting and otherwise. The
parties will file all federal, state and local tax returns and reports in a
manner consistent with the preceding sentence.
3. Operating Lease Commitment. (1) The Lessor shall, from time to
time on or after the Lease Commencement Date and prior to the Lease Expiration
Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, refinance
Lessor-Owned Vehicles that are Refinanced Vehicles and purchase Lessor-Owned
Vehicles identified in Group IV Vehicle Orders placed by a Lessee for a purchase
price equal to the Capitalized Cost thereof, and simultaneously therewith, the
Lessor shall under the Operating Lease enter into operating leases with the
related Lessee with respect to such Group IV Vehicles; provided, that the
aggregate Net Book Value of Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased hereunder on any date
shall not exceed (a) the Maximum Lease Commitment, less (b) the Base Amount as
of such date with respect to the Financing Lease.
4. Reserved.
5. Maximum Vehicle Lease Term. The maximum Vehicle lease term of
the Operating Lease as it relates to each Lessor-Owned Vehicle leased hereunder
shall be from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date to the date that is
twenty-four (24) months from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date; provided that
notwithstanding the period stated above, the maximum Vehicle lease term for any
Vehicle or type of Vehicle may be such longer period with respect to which
Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained. On the occurrence of such date for
a Group IV Vehicle not previously disposed of, the applicable Lessee shall, (a)
on behalf of the Lessor, promptly dispose of such Group IV Vehicle in accordance
with the terms hereof and in accordance with any instructions of the Lessor for
such disposition, (b) in each case, provide that Disposition Proceeds be paid
directly to the Collection Account for the benefit of the Group IV Noteholders
and (c) pay to the Trustee, in accordance with this Operating Lease, any other
amounts unpaid and owing from such Lessee under the Lease in respect of such
Vehicle.
6. Lessee's Rights to Purchase Vehicles. The related Lessee will
have the option, exercisable during the Vehicle Term with respect to any
Lessor-Owned Vehicle
leased hereunder, to purchase any Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased under this
Agreement at a purchase price equal to the greater of (a) the applicable Net
Book Value or (b) the Fair Market Value of the Group IV Vehicle (such greater
amount, the "Vehicle Purchase Price", with respect to Group IV Vehicles), in
which event such Lessee will pay the Vehicle Purchase Price to the Lessor on or
before the Due Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee plus all accrued
and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Monthly Variable Rent with respect to such
Vehicle through the date of such purchase. In addition, each Lessee will have
the option, exercisable with respect to any Manufacturer Receivable related to a
Lessor-Owned Vehicle which was leased by such Lessee under this Agreement, to
purchase such Manufacturer Receivable for a price equal to the amount due from
the Manufacturer under such Manufacturer Receivable, in which event the Lessee
will pay such amount to the Trustee on or before the Distribution Date next
succeeding such purchase by the Lessee. Upon receipt of such purchase price by
the Trustee, the Lessor, at the request of the Lessee, shall cause title to any
such Group IV Vehicle or Manufacturer Receivable, as applicable, to be
transferred to the applicable Lessee, and the Lien of the Trustee on such Group
IV Vehicle shall be released thereby.
7. Vehicle Disposition. The Lessees agree that, with respect to
Lessor-Owned Vehicles, each Lessee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to return each Group IV Repurchase Vehicle (other than any such Group IV
Repurchase Vehicle that has been redesignated as a Group IV Non-Repurchase
Vehicle pursuant to Section 14 at the Lease or, in the case of a Group IV Type
II Repurchase Vehicle, is otherwise disposed of in accordance with Section 3.2
of the Lease) to the related Manufacturer (a) not prior to the end of the Type I
Minimum Term or Type II Minimum Term, as applicable, for such Vehicle, and (b)
not later than the end of the Type I Maximum Term or Type II Maximum Term, as
applicable, for such Vehicle; provided, however, if for any reason, a Lessee
fails to deliver such a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle to the applicable
Manufacturer for repurchase by the Manufacturer in accordance with the
applicable Repurchase Program, during the time period between the expiration of
the Type I Minimum Term of Type II Minimum Term, as applicable, and the
expiration of the Type I Maximum Term or Type II Maximum Term, as applicable,
such Lessee shall be obligated to purchase such Group IV Repurchase Vehicle as
provided in Section 12 of the Agreement, redesignate such Group IV Vehicle as a
Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle in accordance with Section 14 of the Lease or,
in the case of a Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle, dispose of such Group IV
Type II Repurchase Vehicle promptly and in a commercially reasonable manner so
as to maximize proceeds from the disposition of such Vehicle. Each Lessee shall,
with respect to Lessor-Owned Vehicles leased by it hereunder, pay the equivalent
of the Rent for the Minimum Term for Group IV Repurchase Vehicles returned
before the expiration of the Minimum Term, regardless of actual usage, unless
such a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle is a Casualty, which will be handled in
accordance with Section 6 of the Agreement. All Disposition Proceeds due from
the disposition of Group IV Repurchase Vehicles pursuant to this Section shall
be due and payable to the Lessor. The Lessor and the Lessees agree, with respect
to Lessor-Owned Vehicles, that the Lessees shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to dispose of (a) each Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle in the manner
most likely to maximize proceeds from such disposition by either (x) using its
commercially reasonable efforts to return each Group IV Type II Repurchase
Vehicle to the related Manufacturer not prior to
Annex A
2
the end of the Type II Minimum Term for such Vehicle, or (y) using its
commercially reasonable efforts to otherwise dispose of each Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicle in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with industry
practice and applicable requirements of law, in either case (x) or (y) prior to
the expiration of the applicable Type II Maximum Term for such Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicle and (b) each Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle (x) in a
commercially reasonable manner, consistent with industry practice and applicable
requirements of law, and that is most likely to maximize proceeds from such
disposition and (y) prior to the expiration of the Non-Repurchase Maximum Term
for such Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle. Each Lessee shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all proceeds from the disposition of Group IV
Vehicles pursuant to this Section to be paid directly to the Collection Account
for immediate deposit into the Group IV Collection Account; provided that, to
the extent that any Lessee receives any such proceeds directly, it shall deliver
such proceeds to the Trustee within five (5) days of receipt thereof for deposit
into the Collection Account for immediate deposit into the Group IV Collection
Account.
8. Lessor's Right to Cause Vehicles to be Sold. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the Lessor shall have the
right, at any time after the date forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration
of the Type I Maximum Term, Type II Maximum Term or Non-Repurchase Maximum Term,
as applicable, for any Group IV Vehicle leased under this Annex A, to require
that the Lessee thereof, and the Lessee shall have the obligation to (a) deliver
such Group IV Vehicle to the Manufacturer for repurchase (if such Group IV
Vehicle is a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle) or (b) exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of such Vehicle to a third party for
price (i) greater than the Net Book Value thereof (if such Group IV Vehicle is a
Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle), (ii) at least equal to the Type II
Repurchase Vehicle Value (if such Group IV Vehicle is a Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicle) or (iii) at least equal to the Non-Repurchase Vehicle Value
thereof (if such Group IV Vehicle is a Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle). If a
sale of the Vehicle to a third party is arranged by the Lessee prior to the
expiration of such Type I Maximum Term, Type II Maximum Term or Non-Repurchase
Maximum Term, as applicable, in accordance with the foregoing, then the Lessee
shall deliver the Group IV Vehicle to the purchaser thereof, the Lien of the
Trustee on the Certificate of Title of such Group IV Vehicle shall be released,
and the Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor the funds paid for such
Vehicle by the purchaser. If the Lessee is unable to arrange for a sale of a
Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle on or before the 30th day prior to the
expiration of such Type I Maximum Term or a Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle
on or before the 30th day prior to the expiration of such Maximum Type II Term,
then the Lessee shall cease attempting to arrange for such a sale and shall
return such Group IV Repurchase Vehicle to the applicable Manufacturer, purchase
such Group IV Vehicle as herein provided or, in the case of a Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicle and if applicable, arrange for the sale of such Group IV Type
II Repurchase Vehicle at auction with commercially reasonable efforts to
maximize the sale price. If the Lessee is unable to arrange for a sale of a
Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle for an amount in excess of the Non-Repurchase
Vehicle Value thereof prior to the end of the applicable Non-Repurchase Maximum
Term, then the Lessee shall cease attempting to arrange for such sale and shall
arrange for the sale of such Group IV Vehicle at auction with commercially
reasonable efforts to maximize the
Annex A
3
sale price. In no event may any Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle be sold
pursuant to this paragraph 8 (other than pursuant to a Repurchase Program)
unless the funds to be paid to the Lessor arising out of such sale exceed the
Net Book Value of such Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle less reasonably
predictable Excess Mileage Charges, Excess Damage Charges and other similar
charges imposed by the Manufacturer.
9. Calculation of Rent. Rent shall be due and payable on a
monthly basis as set forth in this paragraph 9:
(a) Certain Definitions. As used herein the following
terms have the following meanings:
"Additional Base Rent" with respect to the
Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicles and Group IV
Non-Repurchase Vehicles leased hereunder, with
respect to each Due Date shall equal the amount, if
any, by which (a) 100% of the current aggregate Net
Book Value of such Group IV Type II Repurchase
Vehicles or Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles owned by
the Lessor exceeds (b) the three (3) month rolling
average of the Fair Market Value of such Group IV
Type II Repurchase Vehicles or Group IV
Non-Repurchase Vehicles, as applicable, for the
preceding three (3) calendar months.
"Monthly Base Rent" with respect to each Due
Date and each Lessor-Owned Vehicle leased under this
Agreement during the Related Month shall be the sum
of all Depreciation Charges that have accrued with
respect to such Group IV Vehicle during the Related
Month.
"Monthly Variable Rent" with respect to each
Due Date and each Lessor-Owned Vehicle leased under
this Agreement on any day during the Related Month
shall equal the sum of (a) an amount equal to the Net
Book Value of such Group IV Vehicle, with respect to
each Group IV Type I Repurchase Vehicle, the Type II
Repurchase Vehicle Value of such Vehicle, with
respect to each Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle,
or the Non-Repurchase Vehicle Value of such Vehicle,
with respect to each Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicle,
during the Related Month multiplied by the VFR for a
one year interest period, multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be 30 and the
denominator of which shall be 360 and (b) the product
of (i) an amount equal to (x) the sum of all Carrying
Charges for each Group IV Series of Notes for the
Related Month less (y) any accrued earnings on
Permitted Investments in the Group IV Collection
Account which are accrued through the last Business
Day of the Related Month and maturing by the next
Distribution Date and (ii) a fraction, the numerator
of which is the Net Book Value of such Group IV
Annex A
4
Vehicle, with respect to each Group IV Type I
Repurchase Vehicle, the Type II Repurchase Vehicle
Value of such Group IV Vehicle, with respect to each
Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicle or the
Non-Repurchase Vehicle Value of such Group IV
Vehicle, with respect to each Group IV Non-Repurchase
Vehicle, and the denominator of which is the sum of
the Net Book Values of all Group IV Type I Repurchase
Vehicles, Type II Repurchase Vehicle Values of all
Group IV Type II Repurchase Vehicles and
Non-Repurchase Vehicle Values of all Group IV
Non-Repurchase Vehicles. In the event the Vehicle
Lease Commencement Date occurs with respect to such
Group IV Vehicle on a day other than the last day of
a Related Month, the Monthly Variable Rent for such
Group IV Vehicle for such initial month shall be
equal to the product of (a) the Monthly Variable Rent
otherwise payable with respect to such Group IV
Vehicle, multiplied by (b) a fraction the numerator
of which is the number of days in such Related Month
from, after and including such Vehicle Lease
Commencement Date through and including the last day
of such Related Month and the denominator of which is
360. In the event the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date
occurs with respect to such Vehicle on a day other
than the last day of the Related Month, the Monthly
Variable Rent for such Vehicle for such final month
shall be equal to the product of (a) the Monthly
Variable Rent otherwise payable with respect to such
Group IV Vehicle for the Related Month, multiplied by
(b) a fraction the numerator of which is the number
of days in such Related Month from, after and
including the first day of such Related Month through
and including the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date and
the denominator of which is 360.
"Rent", with respect to Lessor-Owned
Vehicles, means Monthly Base Rent, Monthly Variable
Rent and Additional Base Rent.
"VFR" for any period with respect to any
Group IV Series of Notes, is an interest rate equal
to (i) the amount of interest accrued during such
period with respect to all Group IV Series of Notes
divided by (ii) the average daily Invested Amounts of
all such Group IV Series of Notes during such period.
(b) Payment of Rent. On each Due Date:

the Lessor all Monthly Base Rent that has accrued during the
Related Month with respect to each Group IV Vehicle leased

during the Related
Annex A
5
Month with respect to each Group IV Vehicle leased hereunder
by such Xxxxxx; and

to the Lessor such Xxxxxx's Pro Rata Share of an amount equal
to the monthly Additional Base Rent that has accrued during
the Related Month with respect to the Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicles and Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles
leased hereunder by such Xxxxxx.
10. Net Lease. THE OPERATING LEASE SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND THE
LESSEE'S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE
AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT OR REDUCTION FOR
ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. The obligations and liabilities of the Lessees hereunder
shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected (except as may be
expressly provided herein including, without limitation, the right of each
Lessee to reject Group IV Vehicles pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement) for
any reason, including without limitation: (i) any defect in the condition,
merchantability, quality or fitness for use of the Group IV Vehicles or any part

liquidation or other like proceeding relating to the relevant Lessee, the Lessor
or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to the Operating Lease by
any trustee or receiver of any Person mentioned above, or by any court; (vii)
any claim that the relevant Lessee has or might have against any Person,
including without limitation the Lessor; (viii) any failure on the part of the
Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other
agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance of the
Operating Lease or any provision hereof or any of the other Related Documents or
any provision of any thereof, in each case whether against or by the relevant
Lessee or otherwise; (x) any insurance premiums payable by the relevant Lessee
with respect to the Group IV Vehicles; or (xi) any other occurrence whatsoever,
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not the relevant
Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not
foreseen or foreseeable. The Operating Lease shall be noncancelable by the
Lessees and, except as expressly provided herein, each Lessee, to the extent
permitted by law, waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by statute or
otherwise to quit, terminate or surrender the Operating Lease, or to any
diminution or reduction of Rent payable by such Lessee hereunder. All payments
by each Lessee made hereunder shall be final (except to the extent of
adjustments provided for herein), absent manifest error and, except as otherwise
provided herein, no Lessee shall seek to recover any such payment or any part
thereof for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error. If for any reason
whatsoever the Operating Lease shall be terminated in whole or in part by
operation of law or otherwise except as expressly provided herein, each Lessee
shall nonetheless pay an amount equal to each
Annex A
6
Rent payment at the time and in the manner that such payment would have become
due and payable under the terms of the Operating Lease as if it had not been
terminated in whole or in part. All covenants and agreements of each Lessees
herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly
otherwise stated.
11. Liens. Except for Permitted Liens, each Lessee shall keep all
Group IV Vehicles leased by it free of all Liens arising during the Term. Upon
the Vehicle Lease Termination Date for each Group IV Vehicle leased hereunder
should any such Lien exist the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove such Lien

Business Days, make its records pertaining to the Group IV Vehicles available to
the Lessor or the Trustee for inspection at the location where the Lessee's
records are normally domiciled.
13. Certain Risks of Loss Borne by Xxxxxxx. Upon delivery of a
Group IV Vehicle to a Lessee, as between the Lessor and the Lessees, such Lessee
assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction,
attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition and all other risks and
liabilities with respect to such Group IV Vehicle, including personal injury or
death and property damage, arising with respect to such Group IV Vehicle due to
the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, delivery, leasing, subleasing,
possession, use, inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance,
repair or storage of such Group IV Vehicle, howsoever arising.
14. Title. This is an agreement to lease only, and title to the
Lessor-Owned Vehicles will at all times remain in the Lessor's name. The Lessees
will not have any rights or interest in such Group IV Vehicles whatsoever other
than the rights of possession and use of such Group IV Vehicles as provided by
this Agreement. In addition, each Lessee, by its execution hereof, acknowledges
and agrees that (i) the

or Eligible Non-Repurchase Vehicles have suffered a
Casualty or are sold by the Lessee (it being
understood that the Lessee has agreed to sell
Financed Vehicles only in a manner consistent with
the provisions hereof and of the Related Documents)
to any Person (including the Lessee) other than to a
Manufacturer pursuant to such Manufacturer's
Repurchase Program or to a third party pursuant to an
Auction conducted through a Manufacturer's Repurchase
Program, in each case, during the Related Month, plus
(ii) the aggregate Termination Values (each as of the
applicable Disposition Date) of all the Financed

Guaranteed Payments for repurchases or dispositions
of Financed Vehicles or (b) the sales proceeds for
sales of Financed Vehicles financed at the time of
such sale under this Finance Lease to a third party
other than to a Manufacturer. Solely for determining
the amounts payable hereunder with respect to a
Financed Vehicle that is a Group IV Repurchase
Vehicle that became a Casualty as a result of such
Group IV Repurchase Vehicle being held beyond the
Maximum Term applicable thereto (other than, in each
case, a Group IV Repurchase Vehicle that has been

Monthly Supplemental Rent, Additional Base Rent and
Monthly Supplemental Payments.
"VFR" for any period with respect to any
Group IV Series of Notes, is an interest rate equal
to (i) the amount of interest accrued during such
period with respect to all Group IV Series of Notes
divided by (ii) the average daily Invested Amounts of
all such Group IV Series of Notes during such period.
(b) Payment of Rent. On each Due Date:
(i) Monthly Base Rent. Each Lessee shall pay to
the Lessor all Monthly Base Rent that has accrued during the
Related Month with respect to each Group IV Vehicle leased
hereunder by such Xxxxxx;

to the Lessor such Xxxxxx's Pro Rata Share of an amount equal
to the monthly Additional Base Rent that has accrued during
the Related Month with respect to the Group IV Type II
Repurchase Vehicles and Group IV Non-Repurchase Vehicles
leased hereunder by such Xxxxxx; and
(iv) Monthly Supplemental Payments. Each Lessee
shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Supplemental Payments that
have accrued during the Related Month with respect to all
Group IV Vehicles that were leased under the Finance Lease on
any day during the Related Month; provided, however, that in
the event that the Monthly Supplemental Payment accrued during
a Related Month is a negative dollar amount, such amount may
be netted against other payments to be paid on such Due Date
pursuant to this Paragraph 6.
(c) On the expiration of the Term of the Lease, any
remaining Base Amount, plus all other amounts payable by the Lessees
under the Financing Lease shall be immediately due and payable.
(d) A Lessee may from time to time prepay the Base Amount
of the Financing Lease with respect to a Financed Vehicle leased by it
hereunder, in whole or in part, on any date, provided that such Lessee

such prepayment, and the Financed Vehicles to which such prepayment
relates.

Vehicle to the Lessee thereof, as between the Lessor and the Lessee thereof, the
Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction,

including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to
such Group IV Vehicle or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection,
ownership, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, inspection,
registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair, storage, sale, return
or other disposition of such Group IV Vehicle, howsoever arising.
8. Mandatory Repurchase of Texas Vehicles and Hawaii Vehicles.
Prior to the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date with respect to each Texas Vehicle or
Hawaii Vehicle (other than a Vehicle Lease Expiration Date arising in connection
with the purchase of such Group IV Vehicle pursuant to this Paragraph 8) and,
prior to the expiration of the Type I Maximum Term, Type II Maximum Term or
Non-Repurchase Maximum Term, applicable thereto, the Lessee thereof shall
purchase such Texas Vehicle or Hawaii Vehicle (including any such Group IV
Vehicle which has become a Casualty) at a
Annex B
5
purchase price equal to the Net Book Value of such Group IV Vehicle calculated
as of the date of purchase (or, in the case of a Casualty, at a purchase price
equal to the Monthly Supplemental Payments accruing in respect of such Casualty
during the Related Month in which such Group IV Vehicle became a Casualty),
which shall be payable to the Trustee (together with all accrued and unpaid Rent
and other payments due and payable on such Due Date with respect to such Texas
Vehicle or Hawaii Vehicle through the date of such purchase) on or prior to the
Due Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee. The Lessor shall cause
title to each Texas Vehicle or Hawaii Vehicle to be transferred to the Lessee

Agreement, no Texas Vehicle or Hawaii Vehicle may be sold or otherwise disposed
of (other than pursuant to Section 17.3 of the Agreement), including by return

the Lessee thereof pursuant to and in accordance with this Paragraph 8.
9. Lessee's Rights to Purchase Manufacturer Receivables. In
addition, each Lessee will have the option, exercisable with respect to any
Manufacturer Receivable related to a Financed Vehicle which was leased by such
Lessee under this Agreement, to purchase such Manufacturer Receivable for a
price equal to the amount due from the Manufacturer under such Manufacturer
Receivable, in which event the Lessee will pay such amount to the Trustee on or
before the Distribution Date next succeeding such purchase by the Lessee. Upon
receipt of such funds by the Trustee, the Lessor, at the request of the Lessee,
shall cause title to any such Manufacturer Receivable to be transferred to the
Lessee, and the Lien of the Trustee in such Manufacturer Receivable will
automatically be released concurrently with or promptly after the purchase price
for such Manufacturer Receivable (and any unpaid Monthly Base Rent, unpaid
Monthly Variable Rent and other unpaid charges, payments and amounts relating
thereto) is paid by the Lessee to the Trustee.
