ABCR, Avis Budget Holdings, LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders party thereto have entered into the Fourth Amendment, dated as of the date hereof and attached as Schedule II hereto, to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”).

 

Pursuant to the definition of “Credit Agreement” in the Series 2008-1 Supplement, references to the Credit Agreement in the Series 2008-1 Supplement do not give effect to any amendment thereto (subsequent to the Second Amendment thereto dated as of March 10, 2010) unless such amendment has been approved in writing by the Requisite Noteholders.

 

Pursuant to this approval letter (this “Approval”), ABRCF is requesting the approval of each of the persons identified on Schedule I attached hereto of the Credit Agreement Amendment.

 

By executing the appropriate signature block below, each of the Purchaser Groups approves the Credit Agreement Amendment for purposes of the definition of “Credit Agreement” in the Series 2008-1 Supplement.  Upon the receipt by ABRCF (or its agent) of such approvals from the Purchaser Groups comprising the Requisite Noteholders, references to the Credit Agreement in the Series 2008-1 Supplement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as further amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment.
