NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, that the Base Indenture be amended and supplemented as follows:
SECTION 1: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 7.14
Section 1.1 Amendment to Section 7.14(e). Section 7.14(e) is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence in its entirety.
SECTION 2: AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE I
Section 2.1 Additional Definitions. The Definitions List in Schedule I to the Base Indenture is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:
“ABCR” means Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, formerly known as Cendant Car Rental Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
“ABRCF” means Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC, formerly known as Cendant Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
“GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program” means the General Motors Corporation Daily Rental Guaranteed Residual Program, as amended or replaced from time to time, and pursuant to which the guaranteed payment amount is calculated based upon a specified percentage of the Capitalized Cost of such Vehicle, the model year of such Vehicle and the month during which the Turnback Date for such Vehicle occurred as set forth in such program.
“Specified Eligible Non-Program Manufacturer” means Subaru, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Isuzu, Suzuki and any other Manufacturer that the Rating Agency Consent Condition has been satisfied with respect to the inclusion of such Manufacturer as a Specified Eligible Non-Program Manufacturer; provided, that, in each case, a Manufacturer shall not be a “Specified Eligible Non-Program Manufacturer” unless it has a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “BBB-” from Standard & Poor’s and at least “Baa3” from Moody’s.
Section 2.2 Amended and Restated Definitions. The Definitions List in Schedule I to the Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Depreciation Charge,” “Designated Period,” “Eligible Manufacturer Program” and “Non-Program Vehicle Amount” and the following are hereby inserted in place thereof:
“Depreciation Charge” means, with respect to (a) any Program Vehicle subject to the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, the rate determined by dividing (x) 100% minus the guaranteed payment amount percentage or repurchase price percentage, as applicable, specified in respect of such Vehicle pursuant to the terms of the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, as applicable, for the Designated Period applicable to such Vehicle by (y) the number of days in such Designated Period (or, if such Vehicle is held past the Designated Period set forth in the Loan Request relating to the Loan in respect of such Vehicle, the applicable depreciation charge set forth in the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, as applicable, for such Vehicle calculated on a daily basis), (b) any Program Vehicle subject to an Eligible Manufacturer Program other than the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, as applicable, (but including any other Eligible Manufacturer Program provided by GM), the applicable depreciation charge set forth in the related Manufacturer Program for such Vehicle with respect to such Vehicle calculated on a daily basis and (c) any Non-Program Vehicle, the scheduled daily depreciation charge for such Vehicle set forth by AESOP Leasing in the Depreciation Schedule for such Vehicle. If such charge is expressed as a percentage, the daily Depreciation Charge for such Vehicle shall be such percentage multiplied by the Capitalized Cost for such Vehicle calculated on a daily basis. For Vehicles not held for a full month in the month of acquisition, the Depreciation Charges shall be prorated by multiplying the applicable depreciation amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the date depreciation related to such Vehicle begins to the first day of the next month and the denominator of which is the number of days in such month. For the month in which a Program Vehicle is turned back to the applicable Manufacturer, the Depreciation Charge shall be prorated by multiplying the applicable depreciation amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the first day of such month to the Turnback Date for such Vehicle and the denominator of
which is the number of days in such month. In the event a Vehicle is sold (other than pursuant to the Manufacturer Program of a Manufacturer), the Depreciation Charge shall be prorated by multiplying the applicable depreciation amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the first day of such month to the date proceeds from the sale of such Vehicle were deposited in the Collection Account and the denominator of which is the number of days in such month.
“Designated Period” shall mean, with respect to any Program Vehicle subject to GM’s Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, as applicable, the period designated by AESOP Leasing or AESOP Leasing II, as the case may be, in the applicable Loan Request relating to the Loan used to finance such Vehicle as the period of time for which AESOP Leasing or AESOP Leasing II, as applicable, expects such Vehicle to be subject to the related Loan.
“Eligible Manufacturer Program” means, at any time, a Manufacturer Program that is in full force and effect with an Eligible Program Manufacturer (i) pursuant to which the repurchase price or guaranteed auction sale price is at least equal to (a) with respect to the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program, as applicable, a specified percentage of the Capitalized Cost of each Vehicle, such percentage being determined for each Vehicle based upon the model year of such Vehicle and the calendar month in which such Vehicle is returned to the Manufacturer, minus Excess Mileage Charges, minus Excess Damage Charges, or (b) with respect to any Manufacturer Program other than the GM Guaranteed Depreciation Program or the GM Repurchase Program (but including any other Eligible Manufacturer Program provided by GM), the Capitalized Cost of each Vehicle, minus all Depreciation Charges accrued with respect to such Vehicle prior to the date that the Vehicle is submitted for repurchase, minus Excess Mileage Charges, minus Excess Damage Charges, (ii) that cannot be amended or terminated with respect to any Vehicle after the purchase of that Vehicle, and (iii) the assignment of the benefits of which to ABRCF and to the Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties has been acknowledged in writing by the related Manufacturer pursuant to an Assignment Agreement; provided that (a) with respect to any new Manufacturer Program (including a new model year Manufacturer Program of an Eligible Program Manufacturer and a Manufacturer Program of a new Eligible Program Manufacturer) that is proposed for consideration after the date hereof as an Eligible Manufacturer Program, prior to such new Manufacturer Program constituting an “Eligible Manufacturer Program” hereunder, the Rating Agencies have been given 30 days’ notice (or such shorter period of time as shall be acceptable to the Rating Agencies) of a draft of such new Manufacturer Program as it then exists at the time of such notice (and shall be provided a final copy of such Manufacturer Program promptly upon its being available) and the inclusion of such new Manufacturer Program as an “Eligible Manufacturer Program” hereunder shall be conditioned on satisfaction of the Rating Agency Consent Condition, and (b) with respect to any change (other than as specified in clause (a) above) in the terms of any existing Eligible Manufacturer Program, prior to such Manufacturer Program constituting an “Eligible Manufacturer Program hereunder, the Rating Agencies shall have been notified of such change and such change shall be conditioned on satisfaction of the Rating Agency Consent Condition; provided, further, that in either case described in clause (a) or (b) above, if such new Manufacturer Program
or such change in the terms of an existing Manufacturer Program would have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Secured Parties, prior to any such Manufacturer Program constituting an “Eligible Manufacturer Program”, ABRCF shall have obtained the written consent of the Trustee thereto.
“Non-Program Vehicle Amount” means, as of any date of determination, the aggregate Net Book Value of all Non-Program Vehicles leased under the Leases on such day, excluding, however, (i) any Unaccepted Program Vehicle and (ii) any Vehicle subject to a Manufacturer Program with a Specified Eligible Non-Program Manufacturer; provided that the aggregate Net Book Value of Vehicles subject to Manufacturer Programs with Specified Eligible Non-Program Manufacturers having a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of “BBB-” from Standard & Poor’s or “Baa3” from Moody’s that are excluded from this definition of “Non-Program Vehicle Amount” may not exceed 10% of the Net Book Value of all Vehicles leased under the Leases.
Section 2.3 Deleted and Replaced Definitions.
Each of the Base Indenture, each exhibit thereto and the Definitions List in Schedule I thereto is hereby amended by (i) deleting the term “Cendant Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC” and replacing it with “Avis Budget Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC” in each place such term appears therein, (ii) deleting the term “Cendant Car Rental Group, Inc.” and replacing it with “Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC” in each place such term appears therein, (iii) deleting the term “CRCF” and replacing it with “ABRCF” in each place such term appears therein and (iv) deleting the term “CCRG” and replacing it with “ABCR” in each place such term appears therein.
