Subject: Avis Budget Car Rental 2016 Model Year Program Letter

This Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC 2016 Model Year Program Letter (the "Program Letter") will confirm the agreement reached between Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC ("ABCR"), its affiliates and all entities it controls and Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), (the "Parties"), regarding purchases by ABCR of Ford vehicles, which include any new and unused passenger cars, vans or trucks bearing the marks "Ford" or "Lincoln" as from time to time are offered for sale by Ford in the United States to Ford Dealers ("Ford Vehicles") for the 2016 Program Year. "Program Year" ("PY") is defined and outlined on Attachment VII “Volume Adjustments” and runs through June 30, 2016. The 2016 PY is comprised of 2015, 2016 and 2017 model year vehicles and includes all Ford Vehicles purchased by ABCR during the dates specified on Attachment VII “Volume Adjustments” unless both parties mutually agree to conclude the PY sooner. Exceptions to the PY are summarized in Attachment VII "Volume Adjustments" attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Parties agree that each month during the PY, ABCR shall prepare and submit to Ford during the 3rd week of the month, an updated requested production plan by week and by month, outlining production for the entire PY - the most current plan through the 2015 CY is outlined on Attachment IX “Production Plan”.

Other than those items specifically identified in this Program Letter, all terms and conditions announced in related communications from Ford to ABCR, Ford's 2016 Model Daily Rental Repurchase Program and Ford's 2016 Model Daily Rental Long Term Risk Program, dated June 12, 2015 (the "Program Communications") control. Terms used in this letter that are defined in such Program Communications shall have the meaning set forth in the Program Communications unless a contrary definition is provided in this Program Letter in which case the definition in this Program Letter shall prevail. “Ford Dealer” is defined as an independent entity in the United States authorized by Ford to sell new Ford Vehicles under one or more dealer sales and service agreements.

The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Program Letter, and the Program Communications relating to the acquisition by ABCR or its affiliates from Ford, and the repurchase by Ford, of Ford Vehicles, shall constitute a single contract among the Parties for all purposes, including in the event of a bankruptcy filing by any of the Parties.

This Program Letter and all of the enhancements apply to the 2016 Program Year as defined herein. The terms and conditions contained in this Program letter are offered to meet competitive offers and promote the selection of Ford and Lincoln products. This Program Letter contains the entire agreement between Ford and ABCR with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements and understanding, written or oral. This Program Letter may only be changed by writing signed and delivered by the duly authorized representatives of ABCR and Ford.

Ford is hereby notified that (ABCR) and its subsidiaries, AESOP Leasing L.P. (“AESOP Leasing”), Avis Rent A Car System, LLC (“Avis”) and Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. (“Budget”), have engaged AESOP Exchange Corporation as a qualified intermediary (“QI”) for the purpose of facilitating a like kind exchange program under

Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, ABCR, AESOP Leasing, Avis and Budget have assigned to AESOP Exchange Corporation, acting in its capacity as QI, all of their rights, but not their obligations, in any existing manufacturer purchase agreements they may have with Ford for the purchase of replacement Vehicles and/or the repurchase of relinquished Vehicles. This notification will apply to all future purchases of replacement Vehicles and/or the repurchases of relinquished Vehicles unless specifically excluded in writing.

During the 2016 Program Year, ABCR agrees to purchase for use in or in support of operations at ABCR locations a Minimum Annual Volume of [*REDACTED*] Ford Vehicles from the Ford Dealers of their choice in the United States ("Minimum Annual Volume") in the mix outlined on Attachment I “Program Volume” attached hereto and incorporated herein. ABCR agrees to order for production [*REDACTED*] of the [*REDACTED*] Ford Vehicles for production prior to December 11, 2015. In recognition of this volume commitment, Ford agrees to provide ABCR with enhancements to the announced risk, repurchase and GAV programs as set forth herein.

In consideration of the obligations undertaken by ABCR, Ford shall cooperate with Ford Dealers with whom ABCR negotiates the purchase of Ford Vehicles (consistent with the sales and service agreements between Ford and Ford Dealers) to make reasonable allocations of Ford Vehicles available for resale to ABCR. ABCR understands and agrees that production loss attributable to (a) shortage or curtailment of material, labor, transportation, or utility service; (b) any labor or production difficulty; (c) any governmental action; and/or (d) any cause beyond the reasonable control of Ford may affect vehicle volumes and may result in lower volume deliveries and/or delays in deliveries. In any such event(s), Ford shall notify ABCR in a timely fashion and, if applicable, shall provide ABCR with an estimate as to the times(s) of any delays in such deliveries.

Ford will use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the mix outlined in Attachment Attachment I “Program Volume” attached hereto and incorporated herein, and ABCR recognizes that the mix could change and that any such changes to the mix shall be changes determined necessary by Ford to accommodate changes to the Ford Vehicle production plans. ABCR acknowledges and agrees that it is possible that future demand for Ford Vehicles for retail sales in the United States could be at levels that may limit the allocation of such Vehicles available to fleet buyers such as ABCR. In the event Ford is unable to deliver the Minimum Annual Volume and to the extent such shortfall/delay is not due to causes beyond Ford's reasonable control as set forth above, Ford agrees to work with ABCR to find a commercially reasonable solution.

ABCR agrees that of the [*REDACTED*] Ford Vehicles it purchases during the 2016 Acquisition Year, [*REDACTED*] shall be purchased as Ford Risk Vehicles, as outlined on Attachment I “Program Volume”. Vehicle mix and incentives are outlined on Attachment I “Program Volume” and on Attachment II & III "Risk Incentives” attached hereto and incorporated herein. Both Parties agree the 2017 MY planned Risk volumes are subject to incentive agreement. If the Parties are unable to agree on incentives, the vehicles will become subject to the GAV Program.

All Risk Vehicles must be ordered with Fleet Identification Number ("FIN") and option code 56K. Risk Vehicle incentive payments will be made monthly through the automated competitive allowance payment system. All Risk Vehicles [*REDACTED*] with the exception of any equipment changes or reconfigurations that affect the price.

The 2016 MY Risk Fiesta, Fusion, Escape, Explorer, MKC,MKX, MKZ vehicles ordered prior to July 1, 2015 will be paid through the 2015 PY automated competitive allowance payment system (this system uses a June 30 cutoff date for vehicles designated as early introduction vehicles). These Vehicles ordered prior to July 1, 2015 that are part of the 16 PY, are set forth on Attachment VII "Volume Adjustments" attached hereto and incorporated herein.

Ford and ABCR agree that the terms and conditions of the GAV Program shall be the same as the terms and conditions set forth in the 2015 Model Daily Rental Repurchase Program as amended by this Program Letter, except as follows:

a.    All references to "Repurchase" or "Repurchase Program" shall be deleted and replaced by "Guaranteed Auction Value," "GAV" or "Guaranteed Auction Value Program." The terms "Guaranteed Auction Value" and "GAV" shall have the same meaning and shall be used interchangeably.

b.    The GAV shall be equal to the Repurchase Settlement Amount as defined in the Repurchase Programs and will be paid to ABCR in two separate transactions: (1) the first payment will consist of Net Auction Proceeds and be paid by the Ford Sponsored Auction to ABCR as directed by ABCR; and (2) the second payment will consist of a GAV Supplement Amount ("GAVSA") to be paid by Ford on the Wednesday of the week following the sale of vehicles at the Ford Sponsored Auction. The GAVSA shall be determined by calculating the GAV, deducting net auction proceeds and adding the interest reimbursement amount set forth below.

c.    To reimburse ABCR for [*REDACTED*] held for sale at Ford Sponsored Auctions more than [*REDACTED*] from Acceptance Date, [*REDACTED*] will be included in the GAVSA as follows:

ABCR agrees that of the [*REDACTED*] Ford Vehicles it purchases during the 2016 Program Year, [*REDACTED*] shall be subject to the Ford GAV Program, as outlined on Attachment I “Program Volume” attached hereto and incorporated herein.

As part of the ABCR GAV Program, Ford agrees to enhance the 2016 Model Repurchase Program with the following items described below. The ABCR Guaranteed Auction Value Program details are outlined on Attachment IV "GAV Program Detail” and Attachment V "GAV Depreciation Rates" attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

ABCR agrees that so long as it purchases Ford Vehicles that are subject to Ford's GAV Program and/or Ford's Repurchase Program, at Ford's request, ABCR will enter into [*REDACTED*] Agreement in which [*REDACTED*]. Each such agreement will provide that the parties will [*REDACTED*].

 

ABCR and Ford agree that the Minimum Volume represents a significant percentage of the ABCR vehicle rental fleet and that if [*REDACTED*]

This Program Agreement, or any part of the contents hereof, and all records, statements and matters relating hereto including information obtained or provided, including information related to Ford’s vehicle cycle plans, future products and related activities, shall be treated as confidential and each of the parties shall take or cause to be taken the same degree of care in preventing disclosure of the Confidential Material as it does with its own confidential trade or business information, including ensuring that any employees, vendors or suppliers that obtain or have access to such Confidential Material also maintain the same level of confidentiality. Further, except as may otherwise be required by law or by subpoena or civil investigative demand, neither party shall provide the Confidential Material, or any part thereof, to any other person or legal entity, including vendors and suppliers, without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. In disclosing the Confidential Material to any person or legal entity, the disclosing party will impose on the receiving party the same degree of confidentially and care that the parties have undertaken in the first sentence of this Section or, in the case of Confidential Material supplied to any person or governmental agency pursuant to subpoena or civil investigative demand, requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission or similar request, the disclosing party will seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment, and will use its best efforts to assure that the receiving party or entity returns all copies of all the Confidential Material that shall have been furnished to it, promptly after the receiving party or entity shall have completed its required analysis or review of such Confidential Material.

If any provision of this Program Agreement is rendered invalid, illegal or unenforceable by enactment of a statute or a final decision by a court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired.

This Program Agreement shall in all respects be governed by and be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Any litigation regarding this Program Agreement shall be brought only in the United States District Court in Detroit, Michigan. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in that Court, and agree not to plead or claim that such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Neither party shall be liable for any special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages caused by or arising out of any performance or non-performance of this Agreement.

Other than as to payment obligations, if the failure of either party to fulfill its obligations within the time periods set forth in this Agreement, arise because of circumstances such as acts of God, acts of government, floods, fires, explosions, accidents, strikes or other labor disturbances, wars, civil insurrection, sabotage, nuclear or environmental disaster or other similar circumstances wholly outside the control of the defaulting Party (collectively, “Force Majeure Event”), then such failure shall be excused hereunder for the duration of such Force Majeure Event. In the event a Force Majeure Event continues for more than thirty calendar days, or a mutually-recognized significant reduction in air travel occurs, the parties will commence negotiations in an effort to agree on modifications to this Program Agreement permitting both parties to continue without substantial penalty.

Any notice, consent, approval or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, shall be transmitted given by registered or certified United States Mail or by express mail courier service, and shall be deemed given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:
