(e) If following the payments in section 4.2(b) and the transfer in section 4.2(d) there remains in the Rental Account at the Cut-off Time a positive balance larger than the sum of (i) (A) the Income Share of the Limited Partner and (B) the Coverage Requirement for such Estimation Period and prior Estimation Periods in the same Settlement Period and (ii) the excess of (x) the amount of the lease payment to be made by Alamo to the Partnership pursuant to the Alamo Lease in respect of the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs over (y) the sum of (I) the portions of the Alamo Purchase Discount Amount (as defined in the Alamo Lease) allocable to the Estimation Period and all prior Estimation Periods in the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs (the allocation for each Estimation Period to be based on the number of days in each such Estimation Period divided by the number of days in such Settlement Period) and (II) the sum of the portions of the amounts deposited to the Vehicle Account pursuant to section 4.2(d) for such Estimation Period and all prior Estimation Periods in the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs and which are allocable to the Vehicles which are subject to the Alamo Lease, the General Partner shall be entitled to withdraw for its own benefit at 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Estimation Date any such excess. If following the payments in section 4.2(b) and the transfer in section 4.2(d) there does not remain in the Rental Account at the Cut-off Time a positive balance larger than the sum of (i) (A) the Income Share of the Limited Partner and (B) the Coverage Requirement for such Estimation Period and prior Estimation Periods in the same Settlement Period and (ii) the excess of (x) the

amount of the lease payment to be made by Alamo to the Partnership pursuant to the Alamo Lease in respect of the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs over (y) the sum of (I) the portions of the Alamo Purchase Discount Amount (as defined in the Alamo Lease) allocable to the Estimation Period and all prior Estimation Periods in the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs (the allocation for each Estimation Period to be based on the number of days in each such Estimation Period divided by the number of days in such Settlement Period) and (II) the sum of the portions of the amounts deposited to the Vehicle Account pursuant to section 4.2(d) for such Estimation Period and all prior Estimation Periods in the Settlement Period in which such Estimation Period occurs and which are allocable to the Vehicles which are subject to the Alamo Lease, the General Partner shall be required forthwith to make a payment from its own funds as an Additional Capital Contribution to the Rental Account to bring it to a zero balance, but in no event shall the General Partner be obligated to pay an amount greater than the sum of (i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the General Partner from the Rental Account pursuant to this section 4.2(e) on Estimation Dates for Estimation Periods falling within the same Settlement Period and (ii) Organizational Expenses.

(f) Not later than 12:00 noon (Toronto time) on each Settlement Date, the General Partner will provide a Settlement Report to the Limited Partner containing the aggregate Rental Revenues, Expenses of the Partnership, Depreciation, Proceeds of Dispositions, Loss on Dispositions (if any), Gain on Dispositions (if any) and Income Share of the Limited Partner in respect of the Settlement Period. If during the relevant Settlement Period the General Partner has removed amounts from the Rental Account pursuant to section 4.2(a), then the Settlement Report will be accompanied by a letter from the General Partner reporting as to such amounts and the categories of the General Partner’s non-Partnership revenues to which the amounts so removed pertain.

(g) On the second Business Day after the Settlement Date, the General Partner shall first cause an amount equal to the Income Share of the Limited Partner for the Tranche Period, together with the amount (if any) representing the Income Share of the Limited Partner for prior Tranche Periods not yet paid to the Limited Partner, to be paid to the Limited Partner from the Rental Account.

(h) If the Settlement Report indicates that Depreciation for the Settlement Period is greater than the aggregate estimates of Depreciation contained in the Estimation Reports for the same period, the General Partner shall next on the second Business Day after the Settlement Date transfer from the Rental Account to the Vehicle Account funds equal to the difference. Alternatively, if the Settlement Report indicates that Depreciation for the Settlement Period is less than the estimates of Depreciation contained in the Estimation Reports for the same period, the General Partner shall next transfer from the Vehicle Account to the Rental Account funds equal to the difference.

(i) If the Settlement Report indicates that Loss on Dispositions less Gain on Dispositions for the Settlement Period exceeds the aggregate Net Loss on Dispositions contained in the Estimation Reports for the same period, then the General Partner shall next on the second Business Day after the Settlement Date transfer the amount of the excess from the Rental Account to the Vehicle Account. Alternatively, if the Settlement Report indicates that the aggregate Net Loss on Dispositions contained in the Estimation Reports for the Settlement

Period exceeds the Loss on Dispositions less Gain on Dispositions for the same period, then the amount of the excess shall be transferred from the Vehicle Account to the Rental Account.

(j) If after the payments in sections 4.2(g), (h) and (i), there remains as at the end of the relevant Settlement Period a positive balance in the Rental Account, the General Partner shall be entitled on the second Business Day after the Settlement Date to withdraw for its own benefit any such balance. If after the payments in sections 4.2(g), (h) and (i), there remains as at the end of the relevant Settlement Period a negative balance in the Rental Account, the General Partner shall forthwith on the second Business Day after the Settlement Date pay into the Rental Account from its own funds as an Additional Capital Contribution an amount sufficient to return the Rental Account to a zero balance, but in no event shall the General Partner be obligated to pay an amount greater than the sum of (i) the aggregate amount withdrawn by the General Partner from the Rental Account pursuant to section 4.2(e) on Estimation Dates for Estimation Periods falling within the same Settlement Period and (ii) Organizational Expenses.

(k) if there is not sufficient cash in the Rental Account to pay the Limited Partner the entire amount required by section 4.2(g) and such amount still has not been paid after any transfers to the Rental Account required by sections 4.2(h), (i) and (j) have been made, then cash in the Vehicle Account (if any) in an amount up to but not exceeding the value of the General Partner’s Capital Account shall be transferred to the Rental Account and used to make the payment required by section 4.2(g) and such transfer and payment shall reduce the General Partner’s Capital Account.

4.3 Vehicle Account.

(a) The General Partner has opened and will manage for and in the name of the Partnership at the Bank account no. 0000-0000-000, hereinafter referred to as the “Vehicle Account”. All monies deposited to the Vehicle Account shall have the status of trust monies held for and on behalf of the Partnership and, for greater certainty, shall not be the property of the General Partner. The Bank shall be required specifically to acknowledge that it has no right of set-off in respect of the Vehicle Account. There shall be deposited directly to the Vehicle Account (i) all Proceeds of Disposition, and (ii) all capital contributions of the Partners in the form of cash.

(b) Funds may be disbursed from the Vehicle Account only to the following payees and in the following circumstances:

(i) to refund to the General Partner from time to time amounts representing Temporary GP Contributions and amounts to which the General Partner is entitled pursuant to section 5.4(d);

(iii) to pay Approved Dealers, Manufacturers and Franchisees for Vehicles purchased for the Partnership; and

(iv) on the second Business Day after a Settlement Date, if there is cash in the Vehicle Account as at the close of business on the last day of the Settlement Period (after payments pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this section 4.3(b)) in an amount determined by the General Partner to be in excess of the cash required to fund the purchase of Vehicles required to be paid for in the calendar month in which the Settlement Date occurs, to return capital to the Partners in the ratio of their respective Capital Accounts, to the extent that such payment would not result in the balance of the General Partner’s Capital Account being reduced to an amount below the General Partner’s Capital Commitment; provided, however, that if a Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing then this return of capital shall be made to the Limited Partner in priority to the General Partner if and to the extent that such a prioritization is necessary to make the amount of the General Partner’s Capital Account equal to the amount of the General Partner’s Capital Commitment.

(c) Pending the distributions referred to in section 4.3(b), the General Partner may use funds in the Vehicle Account to purchase Eligible Investments for the Partnership.

4.4 VAT Account.

The General Partner shall open and manage for and in the name of the Partnership at the Bank an account hereinafter referred to as the “VAT Account”. All monies deposited to the VAT Account shall have the status of trust monies held for and on behalf of the Partnership and, for greater certainty, shall not be property of the General Partner. The Bank shall be required specifically to acknowledge that it has no right of set-off in respect of the VAT Account. The General Partner shall deposit to the VAT Account all amounts collected by the Partnership on behalf of a governmental authority in respect of VAT as a result of the rental or sale of Vehicles by the Partnership or the provision of any other goods or service by the Partnership and any amount received by the Partnership from a governmental authority as a refund of VAT. The General Partner shall be entitled to disburse from the VAT Account any amount owed to a governmental authority in respect of VAT collected by the Partnership and any amount owed to a person as VAT in respect of the purchase of Vehicles or any other goods or services acquired by the Partnership. In the event that there are insufficient funds in the VAT Account to fund any required remittance or payment of VAT, the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership an amount of capital sufficient to make up the shortfall, and such amount shall be returned in cash to the General Partner at the earliest possible opportunity from amounts deposited to the VAT Account in respect of input tax credits claimed by the Partnership. Provided that a Termination Event has not occurred, the VAT Account and the Rental Account may be operated by the General Partner as a single commingled account, subject to the maintenance of separate accounting records in respect of each Account.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner is authorized to carry on the business of the Partnership, with full power and authority to administer, manage, control and operate the business of the Partnership, and has all power and authority to do any act, take any proceeding, make any decision and execute and deliver any instrument, deed, agreement or document necessary for or incidental to carrying out the business of the Partnership for and on behalf of and in the name of the Partnership. No Person dealing with the Partnership will be required to inquire into the authority of the General Partner to do any act, take any proceeding,

make any decision or execute and deliver any instrument, deed, agreement or document for and on behalf of or in the name of the Partnership.

5.2 Powers and Duties of General Partner.

(a) In managing the business and affairs of the Partnership, the General Partner shall utilize its own (or shall cause National System to use its own) employees, business premises, owned or leased, and communications and computer systems and these shall not be, and shall not be held out to be, the employees, premises or systems of the Partnership.

For the purpose of the preceding sentence, the General Partner will not have exercised a preference detrimental to the Partnership in its conduct of a competing rental car business solely because of the rental pricing or marketing decisions taken by the General Partner in operating that competing business.

(iii) pay the Expenses;

(iv) commence or defend any action or proceeding in connection with the Partnership (but where such action involves Vehicle Rental Agreements or the Alamo Lease, the General Partner may or may not, as appears more beneficial to the Partnership, commence and defend actions in the name of the Partnership);

(v) file on behalf of the Partnership returns required by any governmental or like authority and make all related remittances and receive all related refunds and credits;

(vi) maintain as valid and effective all registrations, qualifications, licenses and permits necessary or desirable for the Partnership in the conduct of its business; and

(ii) at least 40% of the Partnership Program Vehicles are manufactured by General Motors;

(iii) not more than 60% of the Partnership Program Vehicles are manufactured by Chrysler or Ford;

(k) The General Partner covenants and agrees that in operating the business of the Partnership it shall at all times in all material respects comply with and perform each term, condition, representation, warranty and covenant required to be complied with or performed by the lessor under each Vehicle Rental Agreement and the Alamo Lease and will not take or omit to take any action that would cause any failure by the Partnership to so comply with and perform in all material respects each term, condition, representation, warranty and covenant required to be performed by the lessor under each Vehicle Rental Agreement and the Alamo Lease.

(l) The General Partner shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as a reasonable and prudent operator of a Vehicle rental business would do in order to maintain, use, operate and manage the property, assets and undertaking of such business which are necessary or of advantage to the proper conduct of the business.

(n) The General Partner shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership against any obligation of the Partnership to reimburse a Manufacturer for any allowance or rebate paid by a Manufacturer to the General Partner in connection with the sale of Partnership Vehicles to the Partnership.

(o) The General Partner shall at its own expense provide insurance for the business of the Partnership and for the Partnership Vehicles, in respect both of losses and third party liability as set out in Schedule E, and shall pay all premiums on such insurance on a timely basis and shall maintain fully funded all escrow or trust accounts required to be funded by the terms of

such insurance. Third party underwriters of such insurance shall meet the credit standard set out in section 2.6(k). The General Partner shall indemnify and hold the Partnership harmless against all claims, losses and expenses within the deductible amounts under such insurance policies.

(p) Upon being advised by the Limited Partner in writing at any time that the effective rate of interest on the Notes exceeds 5% per annum, the General Partner shall promptly, and in any event within two Business Days, direct the Securitization Agent and the Limited Partner as to the Hedging Transactions that the Limited Partner shall enter into in connection with the issuance of Notes during the term of this Agreement to ensure that, after giving effect to such Hedging Transactions, the effective interest rate on such Notes shall not exceed 6% per annum. The General Partner may, by written notice delivered to the Securitization Agent and the Limited Partner contemporaneously with the delivery of a Settlement Report pursuant to section 4.2(f), direct the Limited Partner to cancel one or more Hedging Transactions and enter into one or more new Hedging Transactions; provided, however, that the cancellation of any Hedging Transactions and the entering into of any new Hedging Transactions does not cause the effective interest rate on the Notes to exceed 6% per annum. The General Partner shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with all such Hedging Transactions and the counterparty to all such Hedging Transactions shall have a long-term debt rating of at least AA (low) from the Rating Agency.

(q) The General Partner may subcontract any of the General Partner’s obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the General Partner provided that the General Partner shall remain responsible for the performance of such obligations to the same extent as if such obligations were performed by the General Partner.

5.3 Restrictions on Operations and Activities.

The General Partner will manage and conduct all aspects of the day-to-day operations and other activities of the Partnership, subject, however, to the following restrictions:

(a) the Partnership shall not have employees;

(b) the Partnership shall not own or lease real property;

(c) the Partnership shall not borrow money (although it may buy Vehicles on the ordinary payment terms of Manufacturers and Approved Dealers);

(d) the Partnership shall not create, give or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, charge, encumbrance or security interest over its assets except that it may give Qualified PMSI’s to Manufacturers and Approved Dealers;

(e) the General Partner shall not use and shall not contractually permit any Partnership Vehicles to be used in any manner (i) that would cause such Vehicles to become ineligible for repurchase under a Repurchase Agreement, (ii) for any illegal purpose or (iii) that could subject such Vehicles to confiscation; and

(f) the Partnership’s sole assets shall be (i) cash and Eligible Investments and the Rental Account, the Vehicle Account and the VAT Account, (ii) receivables from

credit card issuers, the General Partner, Vehicle rental customers, Manufacturers, Toyota Approved Dealers and governmental authorities, (iii) Vehicles, (iv) Vehicle Rental Agreements, (v) the Alamo Lease, (vi) Repurchase Agreements, (vii) contractual rights to buy Vehicles from Approved Dealers, and (viii) insurance policies.

5.4 Program Negotiation Vehicles.

(a) It is recognized that the Partnership may purchase between August 1 and December 15 in a year Vehicles of the upcoming model year manufactured by an Eligible Manufacturer whose current year Vehicles are subject to a Repurchase Agreement and from whom the Partnership has (i) a letter of undertaking stating that a Repurchase Agreement is being negotiated which, if completed, will cover that Manufacturer’s Vehicles of the upcoming model year, or (ii) a draft form of Repurchase Agreement tabled by that Manufacturer, that if signed, would cover that Manufacturer’s Vehicles of the upcoming model year. Such Vehicles are referred to herein as “Program Negotiation Vehicles”.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, Program Negotiation Vehicles shall be deemed to be Partnership Program Vehicles for the purposes of section 5.2(i) hereof and the definition of “Depreciation”. If a Repurchase Agreement between the Partnership and the Eligible Manufacturer is not entered into by December 15 in the calendar year in which the Program Negotiation Vehicle is purchased by the Partnership, then thereafter for all purposes hereof such Vehicle will be a Partnership Non-program Vehicle.

(c) Notwithstanding section 3.2(c), when and to the extent the General Partner makes a Capital Call for the purpose of funding the purchase of Program Negotiation Vehicles, for every $1.00 called from the Limited Partner the General Partner must make, simultaneously with the payment from the Limited Partner, an Additional Capital Contribution by way of immediately available funds deposited to the Vehicle Account of $0.108033, so that, by way of example, if a Capital Call were made on the Limited Partner in the amount of $3,000,000 and were entirely for the purpose of funding the purchase of Program Negotiation Vehicles, the General Partner would be required to contribute $324,099 to the Partnership.

(d) If a Repurchase Agreement is entered into on or before December 15 covering Partnership Vehicles that prior thereto had been Program Negotiation Vehicles, then thereafter all such Vehicles will be for all purposes hereof Partnership Program Vehicles and the General Partner shall be entitled to a distribution from the Partnership by way of return of capital of the amount, without interest, by which its Additional Capital Contribution in respect of the Program Negotiation Vehicles was greater than it would have been had such Vehicles been Partnership Program Vehicles when purchased (the “PNV Excess”). For the purpose of making a distribution under this section 5.4(d), the General Partner may, when there exists no continuing Suspension Event or Termination Event, make a Capital Call on the Limited Partner for an amount up to the PNV Excess, notwithstanding that the PNV Excess may be an amount less than the amount required by section 3.2(a) for a Capital Call and the proceeds may be used, notwithstanding section 3.2(a), to distribute to the General Partner an amount equal to the PNV Excess. For greater certainty, this section 5.4(d) does not increase the number of times (four per calendar month) when the Limited Partner may be called upon to make an Additional Capital

Contribution. A Repurchase Agreement entered into by the Partnership after the occurrence of a Suspension Event or Termination Event which is continuing shall not be effective for the purposes of this section 5.4(d) unless it shall have been approved by the Securitization Agent.

5.5 Commingling of Partnership Assets.

The funds and assets of the Partnership shall not be commingled with the funds or assets of any other Person (including those of the General Partner).

5.6 Fees of the General Partner.

(f) the inaccuracy when made of a representation or warranty of the General Partner herein which inaccuracy could be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership, provided that if such inaccuracy is capable of being remedied

(h) the General Partner failing to pay when due any obligation (the “Underlying Obligation”) for a sum certain in excess of $2,000,000 and such failure continuing for three Business Days after (i) notice to the General Partner from the party to whom the Underlying Obligation is owed if there is no grace period applicable to the Underlying Obligation or (ii) the expiry of any grace period applicable to the Underlying Obligation;

(o) the failure by Alamo to observe any covenant in the Alamo Lease which failure could be expected to have material adverse effect on the Partnership, provided

The General Partner shall be obligated to notify the Limited Partner, the Securitization Agent and the Rating Agency forthwith upon learning of the occurrence of any material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the General Partner or the Partnership.

8.3 Effect of a Termination Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event:

(a) sections 4.2(c), (d) and (e) and section 4.3(b) shall no longer be operative;

(b) the text in sections 4.2(h) and (i) shall be deemed to have been deleted and the following to have been substituted therefor:

“On each Settlement Date a sum (if positive) equal to Depreciation plus Loss on Dispositions less Gain on Dispositions for the relevant Settlement Period (less, on the first Settlement Date occurring after a Termination Event, any amounts representing Depreciation plus Net Loss on Dispositions transferred from the Rental Account to the Vehicle Account on Estimation Dates occurring during the Settlement Period just ended) shall be transferred from the Rental Account to the Vehicle Account”;

(d) the General Partner shall immediately at its own expense cause to be redelivered to the province in Canada where it registered any Partnership Vehicle that is outside Canada and no Partnership Vehicle shall be rented for a one-way rental for drop-off outside of Canada;

(e) distributions of cash from the Partnership to the Partners shall be made only as permitted by sections 4.4 and 8.6 or, when applicable, section 8.5(b);

(f) the General Partner shall sell the Partnership Vehicles and the other assets of the Partnership and wind up the business of the Partnership in an orderly manner as expeditiously as practicable but in any event within six months of the date of the Termination Event; and

(g) the fact that a breach of a Partner’s covenant hereunder may constitute, or may entitle the other Partner to declare, a Termination Event shall not be construed as a waiver of, or disentitle the other Partner from, other remedies at law or in equity.

8.4 Additional General Partner.

(a) If a Termination Event under section (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (o), (p), (q) or (r) of section 8.2 has occurred and is continuing, the Limited Partner shall be entitled to appoint an additional general partner to the Partnership (the “Additional General Partner”) who shall serve in addition to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence if a Termination Event described in section 8.2(c) is a result solely of a Manufacturer ceasing to be an Eligible Manufacturer, then such a Termination Event shall not give rise to a right of the Limited Partner to appoint an Additional General Partner. Upon its appointment, the Additional General Partner shall execute the agreement contemplated by the last sentence of section 7.3, make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of $10.00 and carry out the functions that, in the absence of the Additional General Partner’s appointment, the General Partner would be obligated to carry out hereunder after a Termination Event. In so doing, the Additional General Partner shall be bound to act in the best interest of the Partnership. The income entitlement of the Additional General Partner shall be set at a commercially marketable rate not to exceed 1% of the liquidation proceeds of Partnership Vehicles.

(a.1) The parties acknowledge that the AGP was appointed as Additional General Partner on September 28, 2001. The validity of such appointment is acknowledged by the General Partner notwithstanding that a Termination Event had not occurred as of that date. Notwithstanding its appointment and the provisions of section 8.4, the Additional General Partner shall not, until there shall have occurred a Termination Event described in section (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (o), (p), (q) or (r), of Section 8.2 and the Limited Partner shall have consented to the Additional General Partner so acting, (but shall if and after such Termination Event has occurred and such consent has been given) carry out the functions that, in the absence of the Additional General Partner’s appointment, the General Partner would be obligated to carry out hereunder. Until such time, if ever, as such a Termination Event shall have occurred and such consent shall have been given, the fees of the Additional General Partner shall be paid by the General Partner at the rate agreed to by the Parties. After such a Termination

Event shall have occurred and such consent shall have been given, the fee will be as set out in section 8.4(a).

(b) Upon appointment of the Additional General Partner, the Additional General Partner shall control the Rental Account, the Vehicle Account, the VAT Account and all other assets of the Partnership, to the exclusion of the General Partner. For greater certainty, the General Partner will be entitled, after the appointment of an Additional General Partner, to the distributions payable to the General Partner under section 8.6(b).

(c) The General Partner hereby irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints the Limited Partner, with full power of substitution, as the General Partner’s agent and true and lawful attorney to act on its behalf with full power and authority in its name, place and stead to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver and record or file as and where required any document that the Additional General Partner determines to be necessary or desirable, in its sole opinion in connection with or relating to the transfer of registered ownership of any Partnership Vehicle from the General Partner as general partner of the Partnership to the Additional General Partner as general partner of the Partnership. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable and is a power coupled with an interest and extends to the successors and assigns of the General Partner. The General Partner agrees to be bound by any representation or action made or taken by the Limited Partner pursuant to this power of attorney and hereby waives any and all defences which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Limited Partner taken in good faith under this power of attorney.

(d) The Additional General Partner may (subject to the last sentence of this section 8.4(d)) retain one or more agents, managers or servicers (collectively, a “Servicer”) to assist the Additional General Partner in carrying out its functions and responsibilities hereunder but the compensation of the Servicer shall be the sole responsibility of the Additional General Partner and shall not be a Partnership Expense and the appointment by the Additional General Partner of a Servicer shall not relieve the Additional General Partner of any liabilities hereunder. Unless the Additional General Partner has been approved as such by the Rating Agency, the Additional General Partner shall appoint a Servicer approved by the Rating Agency.

8.5 Certain Purchase Rights of the General Partner.

(a) After the occurrence of a Termination Event the General Partner shall have the right, exercisable in accordance with this section 8.5(a), to purchase from the Partnership all (but not less than all) the Partnership Vehicles. The General Partner may exercise its right to purchase the Partnership Vehicles by delivering to the Partnership and the other Partners written notice (the “Purchase Option Notice”) of its exercise of its option not later than three Business Days following occurrence of the Termination Event. Delivery of a Purchase Option Notice shall constitute a binding agreement of purchase and sale pursuant to which the Partnership shall sell to the General Partner and the Genera] Partner shall purchase from the Partnership the Partnership Vehicles for a purchase price (the “Option Purchase Price”) equal to the Current Book Value of the Partnership Vehicles as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of closing (the “Repurchase Closing Date”) of the transaction.

Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Closing Date shall occur on the seventh day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following receipt of the Purchase Option Notice by the Partnership. At closing and against payment to the Partnership of the Option Purchase Price in cash or by bank draft or certified cheque, the Partnership shall transfer the Partnership Vehicles to the General Partner or as the General Partner may in writing direct, free and clear of all encumbrances except encumbrances in favour of Manufacturers pursuant to Qualified PMSIs, and shall deliver to the General Partner:

(i) executed copies of the blanket assignments pertaining to such purchase in substantially the form delivered by the General Partner to the Partnership pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by National Xxxxxx Operations Inc. and the Partnership on June 26, 1997 (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) or in such other form as may be reasonably required by the General Partner;

(ii) executed motor vehicle ownership transfers in the form prescribed by the highway traffic or motor vehicle registration legislation applicable to the Partnership Vehicles; and

(iii) such other documents or instruments of conveyance or further assurance as may be reasonably required by the General Partner.

The Option Purchase Price received by the Partnership shall be deposited to the Vehicle Account and applied forthwith (whether or not the Repurchase Closing. Date is a Settlement Date) in accordance with section 8.6(a) or 8.6(b) as the case may be.

The General Partner shall be responsible for the payment of any and all (i) transfer fees, license fees, registration fees or other similar government fees and charges and (ii) Taxes, in connection with the transfer of Partnership Vehicles pursuant to this section 8.5(a).

(b) After the occurrence of a Termination Event the General Partner shall have the right, exercisable in accordance with this section 8.5(b), to purchase from the Limited Partner the Limited Partnership Interest. The General Partner may exercise this right by delivering to the Limited Partner written notice (the “Partnership Interest Short Option Notice”) of its exercise of its option not later than three Business Days after the occurrence of the Termination Event. Delivery of a Partnership Interest Short Option Notice shall constitute a binding agreement of purchase and sale pursuant to which the Limited Partner shall sell to the General Partner, and the General Partner shall purchase from the Limited Partner, the Limited Partnership Interest for an aggregate purchase price (the “Short Option Purchase Price”) equal to the Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of closing of the transaction (the “Short Option Closing Date”) plus any unpaid Income Share of the Limited Partner calculated to the maturity date of Notes outstanding as of the Short Option Closing Date.

The Short Option Closing Date shall occur on the seventh day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following receipt of the Partnership Interest Short Option Notice by the Limited Partner. At closing and against payment to the Limited Partner of

the Short Option Purchase Price in cash or by bank draft or certified cheque, the Limited Partner shall transfer to the General Partner or as it may in writing direct the Limited Partnership Interest free and clear of all encumbrances and shall deliver to the General Partner:

(i) executed copies of such assignments pertaining to such purchase and in such form as may be reasonably required by the General Partner; and

(ii) such other documents or instruments of conveyance or further assurance as may be reasonably required by the General Partner.

On the Short Option Closing Date and prior to giving effect to the purchase and sale of the Limited Partnership Interest on such date, all funds on deposit in the Rental Account and the Vehicle Account shall be applied pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3 (as amended by sections 8.3(a) and (b)) as if such date were a Settlement Date.

(c) At any time when there exists neither a Suspension Event nor a Termination Event, the General Partner shall have the right, exercisable in accordance with this section 8.5(c) to purchase from the Limited Partner the Limited Partnership Interest. The General Partner may exercise this right by delivering to the Limited Partner written notice (the “Partnership Interest Long Option Notice”) of its exercise of the option. Delivery of a Partnership Interest Long Option Notice shall constitute a binding agreement of purchase and sale pursuant to which the Limited Partner shall sell to the General Partner, and the General Partner shall purchase from the Limited Partner, the Limited Partnership Interest for an aggregate purchase price (the “Long Option Purchase Price”) equal to the Limited Partner’s Capital Account as of the close of business on the day preceding the day of closing of the transaction (the “Long Option Closing Date”) plus any unpaid Income Share of the Limited Partner calculated to and including the day preceding the Long Option Closing Date.

The Long Option Closing Date shall occur 90 days (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) following receipt of the Long Option Purchase Notice by the Limited Partner. At closing and against payment to the Limited Partner of the Long Option Purchase Price in cash or by bank draft or certified cheque, the Limited Partner shall transfer to the General Partner or as it may in writing direct the Limited Partnership Interest free and clear of all encumbrances and shall deliver to the General Partner:

(i) executed copies of such assignments pertaining to such purchase and in such form as may be reasonably required by the General Partner; and

(ii) such other documents or instruments of conveyance or further assurance as may be reasonably required by the General Partner.

On the Long Option Closing Date and prior to giving effect to the purchase and sale of the Limited Partnership Interest on such date, all funds on deposit in the Rental Account and the Vehicle Account shall be applied pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3 as if such date were a Settlement Date.

The fact that the General Partner has delivered a Partnership Interest Long Option Notice will not change any consequences hereunder of a Termination Event that arises thereafter,

except that no options shall arise under sections (a) and (b) of this section 8.5. If a Termination Event occurs after the General Partner has delivered a Partnership Interest Long Option Notice, then the Long Option Closing Date shall occur on the earlier of the date when it would have occurred in the absence of a Termination Event and the seventh day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) after the date of occurrence of the Termination Event.

8.6 Distribution of Proceeds of Winding Up.

(a) On each Settlement Date occurring after a Termination Event, the General Partner (if no Additional General Partner has been appointed pursuant to Section 8.4) shall distribute cash from the Rental Account and from the Vehicle Account as follows and in the following order of priority:

(A) firstly, to pay the expenses of liquidation and the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to its creditors or to make due provision for the payment thereof;

(b) On each Settlement Date occurring after a Termination Event, if an Additional General Partner has been appointed pursuant to Section 8.4, the Additional General Partner shall distribute the net proceeds from the winding up of the Partnership as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) from the Rental Account -

(A) firstly, to pay the expenses of liquidation and the debts and liabilities of the Partnership to its creditors or to make due provision for the payment thereof;

(G) seventh, to pay to the Additional General Partner an amount equal to its capital account; and

(H) lastly, to pay to the General Partner all remaining proceeds.

8.7 Negative Balance in Capital Account of General Partner.

Neither the Partnership nor the Limited Partner shall have a claim against the General Partner with respect to any negative (i.e., debit) balance in its capital account except to the extent the assets of the Partnership are insufficient to pay debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.4.

8.8 Return of Capital.

Except as provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right to demand or receive a return of Capital in a form other than cash, but nothing herein shall prohibit a return of Capital in a form other than cash.

8.9 Dissolution of Partnership.

The Partnership shall be dissolved when all of its assets have been sold and the net proceeds therefrom have been distributed to the Partners. The General Partner shall prepare or cause to be prepared a statement of financial position of the Partnership which shall be reported upon by the Auditor and forward a copy to each Person who was shown on the Register as a Partner at the date of dissolution. The parties agree that the steps necessary to dissolve the Partnership should be chosen so that the dissolution occurs in a tax efficient manner.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by the General Partner.

Without limiting any other rights which the Limited Partner may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the General Partner hereby agrees to indemnify the Limited Partner and its respective trustees, officers, agents and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, and any costs associated with the appointment of an Additional General Partner (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or reasonably incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of or as a result of (a) the liability of the Limited Partner not being limited in the manner provided in section 2.13 (unless the liability of the Limited Partner is not so limited as a result of any act or omission of the Limited Partner) or (b) a breach or violation of this Agreement by the General Partner, excluding, however, damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Limited Partner. The obligations of the General Partner under this section 9.1 shall survive any

termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts awarded or incurred as aforesaid relating to or resulting from:

(a) reliance on any representation, warranty or statement made by the General Partner (or any of its officers) under, in or in connection with this Agreement, any officer’s certificate or any information or report delivered by the General Partner pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false, incorrect or inaccurate in any material respect when made;

(b) the failure by the General Partner to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Partnership Vehicle or Vehicle Rental Agreement or the non conformity of any Vehicle Rental Agreement with any Applicable Law;

(c) any claim for personal injury, death, property damage or product liability which may arise by reason of, result from or be caused by, or relate to the use, operation, maintenance or ownership of, the Partnership Vehicles; and

(d) any material failure of the General Partner to perform its covenants or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

9.2 Notification of Potential Liability.

Each of the Partners will, upon learning of potential situations involving possible liability wider this Article 9, promptly notify the other Partner thereof but a failure to notify by the Limited Partner shall excuse the General Partner from its liability hereunder only if and to the extent that the General Partner can demonstrate that the amount of its liability would have been less if it had been given prompt notice thereof.

9.3 Litigation.

At the request of the Limited Partner, the General Partner shall, at its expense, cooperate with the Limited Partner in any action, suit or proceeding brought by or against the Limited Partner relating to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Partnership Vehicles or Vehicle Rental Agreements (other than an action, suit or proceeding by one Partner against the other). In addition, the General Partner agrees to notify the Limited Partner and the Limited Partner agrees to notify the General Partner, at the General Partner’s expense, promptly upon learning of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding, if the judgment or expenses of defending such action, suit or proceeding would be covered by section 9.1 and (except for an action, suit or proceeding by one Partner against the other Partner) to consult with the Limited Partner, concerning the defence and prior to settlement; provided, however, that if (i) the General Partner shall have acknowledged that section 9.1 would cover any judgment or expenses in any action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) in the sole determination of the Limited Partner, the General Partner has the financial ability to satisfy such judgment or expenses, then the General Partner shall have the right, on behalf of the Limited Partner but at the General Partner’s expense, to defend such action, suit or proceeding with counsel selected by the General Partner, and shall have sole discretion as to whether to litigate, appeal or enter into an exclusively monetary settlement.

9.4 Tax Indemnity.

The General Partner agrees to defend and to save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or any omission to pay any Taxes otherwise required under this Agreement to be paid or withheld and remitted by or on any Vehicle rental customers. If the General Partner shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by or on behalf of the Partnership to the Limited Partner hereunder or in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording hereof and of the other documents to be delivered hereunder and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, or if the Limited Partner shall be required to pay any Taxes in respect of any sum received by the Limited Partner from the Partnership hereunder:

(a) the sum payable to the Limited Partner shall be increased as may be necessary (or an amount shall be owed to the Limited Partner) so that, after all required deductions, withholdings or payments in respect of such Taxes have been made, the Limited Partner would have received or retained had no such deductions, withholdings or payments been made;

(b) the General Partner shall make such deductions or withholdings; and

(c) the General Partner shall pay forthwith the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law and will provide to the Limited Partner copies of such forms as are required to be provided to such authority evidencing the payment by the General Partner.

For greater certainty, it is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto that the General Partner shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnified Parties under this section for any Taxes payable by, or required to be withheld by, the General Partner on account of Taxes payable on the income of the Limited Partner, Taxes payable by virtue of the non-resident status of the Limited Partner, Taxes payable on the capital of the Limited Partner or Taxes payable by reason of any breach of this Agreement by the Limited Partner.

9.5 Tax Credit.

If a payment (a “Grossed-Up Payment”) made by the General Partner includes amount (a “Gross-Up”) referred to in section 9.4, and the Limited Partner is able to apply for or otherwise take advantage of any tax credit, deduction in computing income or similar benefit by reason of any withholding or deduction made by the General Partner in respect of the Grossed-Up Payment (such credit, deduction or benefit hereinafter being referred to as a “Tax Credit”), then the Limited Partner will, at the expense of the General Partner, use reasonable endeavours to obtain the Tax Credit and, if it realizes the Tax Credit (whether by way of reducing taxes payable, receiving a tax refund, or otherwise), the Limited Partner shall, subject to the provisos to this Section 9.5, pay to the General Partner such amount, if any (not exceeding the

Gross-Up) as is determined in the discretion of the Limited Partner to be equal to the net after-tax value to the Limited Partner of such part of the Tax Credit as is reasonably attributable to such withholding or deduction having regard to all dealing giving rise to similar credits, deductions or benefits in relation to the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same. Any such reimbursement shall be conclusive evidence of the amount due to the General Partner and shall be accepted by it in full and final settlement of its rights of reimbursement hereunder; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of the Limited Partner to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it deems fit and, in particular, the Limited Partner shall not be under any obligation to claim relief from its profits or similar tax liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding in priority to any other relief, claims, credit or deductions available to it; and (ii) the Limited Partner shall not be obligated to disclose to the General Partner any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations; provided, further, that if, as a result of (x) an audit of the Limited Partner by its auditors or by a taxing authority, or (y) any change to the affairs of the Limited Partner or to the available information concerning such affairs, which change is relevant to the determination that reimbursement with respect to a Tax Credit is payable to the General Partner hereunder, the Limited Partner determines, in its discretion, that any such payment made by the Limited Partner known the results of such audit or anticipated such change, or would have been made in a smaller amount, than the General Power shall pay to the Limited Partner the amount of such payment which the Limited Partner so determines to have been an overpayment.

9.6 Survival.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the obligations of the General Partner under this Article 9 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, notwithstanding the occurrence of such events, shall continue in full force and effect.

9.7 Change in Circumstances.

If at any time:

(a) the introduction of, or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of any reserve requirements) in, or in the interpretation or administration of, any Applicable Law by any court or governmental authority;

(b) the compliance by the Limited Partner, or the liquidity agent under the Liquidity Agreement (the “Liquidity Agent”), the Securitization Agent, or any of their Affiliates (each, an “Affected Person”), with any changed or introduced guideline, direction or request, or any change in, or direction regarding, the interpretation or administration thereof, from or by any governmental authority or professional self-regulating or governing body (including, for greater certainty, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve System or any other body or entity governing accounting treatment or reserve requirements) (whether or not having the force of law); or

(c) any Affected Person is required pursuant to any introduced or changed legal or regulatory requirement, request, direction or guideline, or change in, or direction regarding, the interpretation or administration thereof (including with respect to reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirements), from or by any governmental authority or other body described in (b) above, to post or allocate additional capital to that which is maintained by any such Affected Person and any such posting or allocation of additional capital (or any portion thereof) is determined by the Affected Person to be due to, related to or as a result of the Affected Person’s direct or indirect (including through the provision of liquidity support for the Notes) obligations under or related to this Agreement,

has the effect of:

(i) (A) increasing the costs, expenses, or liabilities of any Affected Person (including as a result of a change in the Affected Person’s capital position,), as such costs, expenses or liabilities relate to the making or funding of capital contributions hereunder or maintaining the Limited Partner’s Capital Account or paying for the Liquidity Agreement, (B) reducing the rate of return (on capital or otherwise) to the Affected Person in connection with, or as a result of the Affected Person either having to raise additional capital or incurring a deteriorated capital position as a result of the making or funding of capital contributions hereunder or maintaining the Limited Partner’s Capital Account or paying for the Liquidity Agreement, (C) requiring the payment of any Tax on or calculated with reference to the capital or debt of the Affected Person, or (D) requiring the Affected Person to make any payment it would not otherwise be required to make; or

(ii) reducing the amount of any Income Share of the Limited Partner,

the Partnership shall, from time to time upon demand by the Limited Partner, pay the Limited Partner or the applicable Affected Person simultaneously with the payment of the Income Share of the Limited Partner the amount of any such increased costs, expenses or liabilities incurred, reduction in amounts received or receivable, reduction in rate of return or required payment made or to be made. The Limited Partner shall deliver to the Partnership a certificate setting forth the computation of the amount of any such increased costs, expenses or liabilities, reduction in amounts received or receivable, reduction in rate of return, or required payment made or to be made, which computation may utilize such averaging and attribution methods as the Limited Partner or the applicable Affected Person believes to be fair, acting reasonably. Upon becoming aware thereof, the Limited Partner shall promptly notify the Partnership of any event or circumstance which could result in any payment being required to be made by the Partnership pursuant to this Section 9.7.
