(“ARAC”), a Delaware corporation, as a lessee (in such capacity, a “Lessee”) and BUDGET RENT A CAR SYSTEM, INC. (“BRAC”), a Delaware corporation, as a lessee (in such capacity, a “Lessee” and together, with CCRG and ARAC, in their capacities as lessees, the “Lessees”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, immediately prior to this Agreement becoming effective, the Lessor, ARAC, as lessee and as administrator, and Avis Group Holdings Inc. (“AGH”), as guarantor, are parties to a Master Motor Vehicle Finance Lease Agreement, dated as of July 30, 1997 (the “Prior AESOP Finance Lease”), pursuant to which the Lessor leases Program Vehicles and Non-Program Vehicles of one or more Manufacturers to ARAC, and AGH guarantees certain obligations of the lessees thereunder;

WHEREAS, immediately prior to this Agreement becoming effective, AGH assigned all of its rights, interests and obligations under the Prior AESOP Finance Lease to CCRG, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among ARAC, AGH and CCRG;

WHEREAS, immediately prior to this Agreement becoming effective, ARAC assigned all of its rights, interest and obligations as Administrator (but not as Lessee) under the Prior AESOP Finance Lease to CCRG pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto now wish to amend and restate the Prior AESOP I Finance Lease in order (i) to add CCRG and BRAC as Lessees and (ii) to reflect the terms of certain exchanges of Program Vehicles that the Lessor intends to effect in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Lessor and the Intermediary;

WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to lease to the Lessees and the Lessees desire to lease from the Lessor both Program Vehicles and Non-Program Vehicles (excluding vehicles titled in the States of Ohio, Oklahoma and Nebraska) financed by the Lessor with the proceeds of Loans and other available funds for use in the daily rental car business of a Lessee or a Permitted Sublessee; and

WHEREAS, the Finance Lease Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the obligations of ARAC and BRAC, as Lessees, under this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree that the Prior AESOP I Finance Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Definitions List attached as Schedule I to the Second Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of June 3, 2004 (the “Base Indenture”), between Cendant Rental Car Funding (AESOP) LLC (“CRCF”), as Issuer, and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, as such Definitions List may from time to time be amended in accordance with the terms of the Base Indenture.

2. GENERAL AGREEMENT.

(a) Each of the Lessees and the Lessor intend that this Agreement constitute a lease for accounting purposes and a financing arrangement for tax and property law purposes and that the relationship between the Lessor and such Lessee pursuant hereto shall always be only that of lessor and lessee, and the Lessor hereby declares, acknowledges and agrees that the tax ownership of the Financed Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder rests solely with such Lessee subject to the security interest granted hereunder to the Lessor. The Lessor and each Lessee further agree that the obligations of such Lessee to the Lessor hereunder shall constitute debt for all federal and state income tax purposes.

(b) It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and, to secure all of its obligations under this Agreement, each Lessee hereby grants to the Lessor a security interest in all of such Lessee’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:

(i) the rights of such Lessee under this Agreement, as such Agreement 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, if any, due and to become due to such Lessee from the Finance Lease Guarantor or any other person under or in connection with any of 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 and liabilities of any party thereunder, (c) all liens and property from time to time purporting to secure payment of the obligations and liabilities of such Lessee arising under or in connection with the

-2-

(ii) all Vehicles leased by such Lessee from the Lessor under this Agreement and all Certificates of Title with respect to such Vehicles;

(iii) all right, title and interest of such Lessee in, to and under any Manufacturer Programs, including any amendments thereof, and all monies due and to become due thereunder, in each case in respect of the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder, whether payable as Vehicle repurchase prices, auction sales proceeds, fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, damages for breach of the Manufacturer Programs or otherwise (but excluding all incentive payments payable to such Lessee or the Lessor in respect of purchases of vehicles under the Manufacturer Programs) and all rights to compel performance and otherwise exercise remedies thereunder (provided, that such security interest is nonexclusive and subject to such Lessee’s right, title or interest in and to the Manufacturer Programs);

(iv) all right, title and interest of such Lessee in and to any proceeds from the sale of the Vehicles leased by it hereunder (including, without limitation, the sale of any such Vehicles by the Intermediary), including all monies due in respect of such Vehicles, whether payable as the purchase price of such Vehicles, as auction sales proceeds, or as fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, or otherwise (including all upfront incentive payments payable by Manufacturers to such Lessee or the Lessor in respect of purchases of Non-Program Vehicles, but excluding the proceeds from the sale of Vehicles that are Relinquished Vehicles at the time of such sale);

(v) all payments under insurance policies (whether or not the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee is named as the loss payee thereof) or any warranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder;

(vi) the rights of such Lessee under each Sublease entered into from time to time relating to the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder, as each such Sublease may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, (a) all monies due and to become due to such Lessee from any Permitted Sublessee or any other Person under or in connection with each such Sublease, whether payable as rent, guaranty payments, fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries, damages for the breach of such Sublease or otherwise, (b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of such Lessee against any Permitted Sublessee or any other party under or with respect to each such Sublease (whether arising pursuant to the terms of such Sublease or otherwise available to such Lessee at law or in equity), including the right to enforce such Sublease and to give or withhold any and all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers under or with respect to such Sublease or the obligations and liabilities of any party thereunder, (c) all liens and property from time to time purporting to secure

-3-

payment of the obligations and liabilities of a Permitted Sublessee arising under or in connection with each such Sublease, and any documents or agreements 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 Permitted Sublessee pursuant to such Sublease (collectively, the “Sublease Collateral”);

(viii) all additional property that may from time to time hereafter be subjected to the grant and pledge under this Agreement, as same may be modified or supplemented from time to time, by such Lessee or by anyone on its behalf; and

(c) To secure the CRCF Obligations, each Lessee hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a first-priority security interest in all of such Lessee’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the collateral described in Section 2(b) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or created. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Related Documents, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party, including, without limitation, the rights and remedies granted under the UCC.

(d) Each Lessee agrees to deliver to the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee on or before the Restatement Effective Date:

(i) a written search report from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee listing all effective financing statements that name such Lessee as debtor or assignor, and that are filed in the jurisdictions in which filings were made pursuant to clause (ii) below, together with copies of such financing statements, and tax and judgment lien search reports from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee showing no evidence of liens filed against such Lessee that purport to affect any Vehicles leased hereunder or any Collateral under the Indenture; and

-4-

(ii) draft financing statements on Form UCC-1 to be filed in each jurisdiction where such Lessee is located under Section 9-307 of the UCC naming such Lessee, as debtor, the Lessor as secured party and the Trustee, as assignee of the secured party, covering the collateral described in Section 2(b) hereof.

(e) Each Lessee hereby authorizes each of the Lessor and the Trustee to file (provided that the Trustee shall have no obligation to so file), or cause to be filed, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, under the UCC in order to perfect its interest in the security interest granted pursuant to Section 2(b).

(f) Each Lessee agrees to file, or cause to be filed, the financing statements delivered in draft form pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the Restatement Effective Date.

2.1. Lease and Acquisition of Vehicles.

From time to time, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the Lessor agrees to lease to the Lessees and each Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor, subject to the terms hereof, (i) the new vehicles identified in vehicle orders (each such vehicle order, a “Vehicle Order”) placed by such Lessee (which Vehicles may not be titled in the States of Ohio, Oklahoma or Nebraska) pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturer Programs with respect to Program Vehicles and Non-Program Vehicles (to the extent such Non-Program Vehicles are subject to a Manufacturer Program) and as otherwise agreed by the Lessor, such Lessee and a dealer with respect to other Non-Program Vehicles, (ii) the Vehicles identified in the computer file delivered to the Trustee on the date hereof which were leased to such Lessee pursuant to the Prior AESOP Finance Lease immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement and (iii) the Franchisee Vehicles identified in an Officer’s Certificate from such Lessee delivered to the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee (with a copy to each Rating Agency) at the time such Lessee desires to lease such Franchisee Vehicles hereunder (which Vehicles may not be titled in the States of Ohio, Oklahoma or Nebraska), which Officer’s Certificate shall contain information concerning the Franchisee Vehicles to be leased by such Lessee under this Agreement of a scope agreed upon by such Lessee and the Lessor (including, at a minimum, the Net Book Value (as of the first day of the Related Month in which the Vehicle Finance Lease Commencement Date with respect to each such Vehicle occurs)); provided, however, that no Franchisee Vehicle may be leased by any Lessee hereunder unless the Franchisee Vehicle Leasing Condition is met with respect to such Franchisee Vehicle. If requested by the Lessor, each Lessee shall make each Vehicle Order with respect to each Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder available to the Lessor, together with a schedule containing the information with respect to such Vehicle included within such Vehicle Order as is set forth in Attachment A hereto (each, a “Vehicle Acquisition Schedule”), or in such form as is otherwise requested by the Lessor. In addition, each Lessee agrees to provide such other information regarding such Vehicles as the Lessor may require from time to time, and on the related Vehicle Finance Lease Commencement Date, in the case of any Franchisee Vehicle leased hereunder, such information as may be required to determine the monthly Depreciation Charges applicable to such Vehicle. This Agreement, together with the Manufacturer Programs and any other related documents attached to this Agreement or submitted with a Vehicle Order (collectively, the “Supplemental Documents”), will constitute the entire agreement regarding the leasing of Vehicles by the Lessor to the Lessees.

-5-

2.2. Right of Lessees and Finance Lease Guarantor to Act as Lessor’s Agent.

The Lessor agrees that each Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor may act as the Lessor’s agent in placing 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 Vehicles leased hereunder; provided, however, that the Lessor may hold a Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor liable for losses due to such Lessee’s or the Finance Lease Guarantor’s, as applicable, actions, or failure to act, in performing as the Lessor’s agent in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition, the Lessor agrees that each Lessee may make arrangements for delivery of Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder to a location selected by such Lessee at its expense. Each Lessee agrees to accept Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder as produced and delivered except that such Lessee will have the option to reject any such Vehicle that may be rejected pursuant to the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program (with respect to Program Vehicles and Non-Program Vehicles subject to a Manufacturer Program), or in accordance with its customary business practices with respect to other Non-Program Vehicles. Each Lessee, acting as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for pursuing any rights of the Lessor with respect to the return to the Manufacturer of any Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder that has been rejected pursuant to the preceding sentence. Each of the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor agrees that all Program Vehicles ordered as provided herein shall be ordered utilizing the procedures consistent with an Eligible Manufacturer Program. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lessee agrees to give immediate notice to the Lessor, in such form and to such address as the Lessor may from time to time specify and in accordance with the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, of each acceptance and of any rejection of any Program Vehicle identified by the Lessor as Replacement Property.

2.3. Payment of Capitalized Cost by Lessor.

On the Vehicle Finance Lease Commencement Date with respect to any Franchisee Vehicle leased hereunder, the Lessor shall apply to each such Franchisee Vehicle the Net Book Value (as of the first day of the Related Month) for such Vehicle. Upon delivery of any new Vehicle, the Lessor shall pay to the authorized dealer, if any, that sold such Vehicle to the Lessor, the Capitalized Cost for such Vehicle and the applicable Lessee shall pay all applicable costs and expenses of freight, packing, handling, storage, shipment and delivery of such Vehicle, and sales and use tax (if any), to the extent that the same have not been included in the Capitalized Cost for such Vehicle.

2.4. Non-Liability of Lessor.

The Lessor shall not be liable to any Lessee for any failure or delay in obtaining Vehicles or making delivery thereof. AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND EACH LESSEE, ACCEPTANCE FOR LEASE OF THE VEHICLES LEASED BY SUCH LESSEE HEREUNDER SHALL CONSTITUTE SUCH LESSEE’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT THAT SUCH LESSEE HAS FULLY INSPECTED SUCH VEHICLES, THAT SUCH VEHICLES ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION AND ARE OF THE

-6-

MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY SUCH LESSEE, THAT SUCH LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS USE AND THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OR ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF VEHICLES, AND HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, DURABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF SUCH VEHICLES IN ANY RESPECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE PURPOSES OR USES OF SUCH LESSEE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO. 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 RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN OR ANY THEFT, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE OF ANY VEHICLE, AND THERE SHALL BE NO ABATEMENT OF MONTHLY BASE RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL RENT OR OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER BECAUSE OF THE SAME.

2.5. Lessees’ Rights to Purchase Vehicles.

(a) Each Lessee shall have the option, exercisable with respect to any Vehicle during the Vehicle Term with respect to such Vehicle, to purchase any Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder at the greater of (i) the Termination Value or (ii) the Market Value of such Vehicle, in each case, as of the Payment Date with respect to the Related Month in which such Lessee elects to purchase such Vehicle (the greater of such amounts being referred to as the “Vehicle Purchase Price”), in which event such Lessee will pay the Vehicle Purchase Price to the Lessor on or before such Payment Date and such Lessee will pay on or before such Payment Date all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and any Supplemental Rent then due and payable with respect to such Vehicle through such Payment Date. The Administrator shall request the Trustee to cause its Lien to be removed from the Certificate of Title for such Vehicle, concurrently with or promptly after the Vehicle Purchase Price for such Vehicle (and any such unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent) is deposited in the Collection Account.

(b) Each Lessee shall have the option on the Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date (excluding the date set forth in subclause (iv) of the definition of such term) to purchase any Vehicle leased by it hereunder for an amount equal to the Termination Value of such Vehicle on such date. Each Lessee shall pay such Termination Value plus all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and any Supplemental Rent with respect to such Vehicle to the Lessor on or before the Payment Date occurring on or immediately following the applicable Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date.

(c) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, although the provisions of Section 2.5(a) and (b) nominally describe a Lessee’s options with respect to each Vehicle leased by it hereunder as options to purchase, such Lessee owns each such Vehicle, subject to the security interests of the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee in such Vehicle, and such options are options to extinguish the security interests of the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee in such Vehicle.

-7-

2.6. Lessor’s Right to Cause Vehicles to be Sold. (a) If a Lessee does not elect to purchase any Vehicle leased by it hereunder pursuant to Section 2.5, then:

(i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to Program Vehicles leased hereunder, and subject to Sections 13.2 and 2.5, the Lessor shall have the right, at any time following the date ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Maximum Term for such Program Vehicle, to require that such Lessee or another Person designated by the Lessor, which Person’s compensation will be payable solely from the proceeds from the sale of such Vehicle, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of such Vehicle to a third party for the Vehicle Purchase Price with respect to such Vehicle, in which event such Lessee or such other designated Person shall, until not later than the date thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of such Vehicle to a third party for a price (as reduced by the amount of compensation to be paid to any such other designated Person) equal to or greater than the Termination Value thereof. If a sale of such Program Vehicle is arranged by such Lessee or such other designated Person prior to such date thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, then (i) such Lessee or such other designated Person shall deliver such Vehicle to the purchaser thereof, (ii) such Lessee or such other designated Person shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor the funds paid for such Vehicle by the purchaser and (iii) the Administrator shall request the Trustee to cause its Lien to be removed from the Certificate of Title for such Vehicle. If such Lessee or such other designated Person is unable to arrange for a sale of such Vehicle prior to such date thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such Maximum Term, then such Lessee or such other designated Person shall cease attempting to arrange for such a sale and such Lessee shall return or cause to be returned such Vehicle in the manner provided in Section 13.2(b) (and, if so requested by such Lessee, the Lessor shall cooperate with the Lessee to effect any such return in accordance with the provisions of the Master Exchange Agreement). If a Lessee shall fail to satisfy any provision of Section 13.2(a)(y) or 13.2(b), then such Lessee shall pay within five (5) days after the Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date the amount of the Termination Value of such Vehicle immediately prior to such Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date (rather than the Residual Value Payment required by Section 2.6(c)); and

(ii) with respect to Non-Program Vehicles leased hereunder and subject to the exercise of each Lessee’s rights under Section 2.5, each Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of each Non-Program Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder to a third party for the Vehicle Purchase Price with respect to such Vehicle on or prior to the date that is the last Business Day of the month that is eighteen (18) months after the month in which the Vehicle Finance Lease Commencement Date occurs with respect to such Vehicle. In no event may any Vehicle be sold pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(ii) unless the funds to be paid to the Lessor with respect to such Vehicle (net of any disposition expenses but including any Non-Program Vehicle Special Default Payments) equal or exceed the Termination Value of such

-8-

Vehicle. Each Lessee may return or cause to be returned a Non-Program Vehicle subject to a Manufacturer Program to the applicable Manufacturer under such Manufacturer Program; provided that (i) the Repurchase Price of such Vehicle, together with any Special Default Payments payable by such Lessee with respect to such Vehicle, is at least equal to the Termination Value with respect to such Vehicle, (ii) no Manufacturer Event of Default shall have occurred with respect to such Manufacturer and (iii) by the date on which such Vehicle is returned to the Manufacturer, the Trustee and the Lender shall have received a copy of an Assignment Agreement with respect to such Manufacturer Program. Notwithstanding the disposition of a Non-Program Vehicle by such Lessee prior to the applicable Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date, such Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and any Supplemental Rent then due and payable with respect to such Non-Program Vehicle through the Payment Date with respect to the Related Month during which such disposition occurred, unless such Non-Program Vehicle is a Standard Casualty or becomes an Ineligible Vehicle, payment for which will be made in accordance with Section 6 hereof. If a sale of such Non-Program Vehicle is arranged by such Lessee pursuant to this Section 2.6(a)(ii), then (x) such Lessee shall deliver the Vehicle to the purchaser thereof, (y) such Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor the funds paid for such Vehicle by the purchaser and (z) the Administrator shall request the Trustee to cause its Lien to be removed from the Certificate of Title for such Vehicle; or

(b) In the event any Vehicle or Vehicles leased hereunder are not purchased by a Lessee pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, sold to a third party pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(i) or sold to a third party or returned to a Manufacturer pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(ii), then, (x) in the case of a Non-Program Vehicle, such Lessee shall return or cause to be returned such Vehicle to the Lessor in accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in Section 13.2(a) on the Payment Date with respect to the Related Month in which the applicable Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date falls or (y) in the case of a Program Vehicle, such Lessee shall dispose of such Vehicle in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.2(b) or return such Vehicle to the Lessor in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 13.2(a), and, in each case, such Lessee shall pay an amount equal to the Residual Value Payment plus all accrued but unpaid Monthly Base Rent and all Supplemental Rent payable with respect to such Vehicles through the Payment Date on which such Non-Program Vehicle was returned or with respect to the Related Month during which such Program Vehicle was returned to its Manufacturer pursuant to Section 13.2(a).

In no event may any Vehicle be sold pursuant to this Section 2.6 unless the funds to be paid to the Lessor with respect to such Vehicle (as reduced by the amount of compensation to be paid to any such other designated Person) equal or exceed the Termination Value of such Vehicle.

2.7. Redesignation of Vehicles.

At any time, including without limitation, if a Program Vehicle becomes ineligible for repurchase by its Manufacturer or for sale at auction under the applicable Manufacturer Program or the return of a Program Vehicle to the applicable Manufacturer cannot otherwise be effected for any reason (including by reason of the occurrence of a Manufacturer

-9-

Event of Default with respect to the Manufacturer of such Program Vehicle or the failure of a Manufacturer to accept such Program Vehicle for repurchase and acceptance is not expected upon a subsequent return), a Lessee may redesignate a Program Vehicle leased by it hereunder as a Non-Program Vehicle; provided that (i) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no violation of the requirements of Section 10.13 of the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement or Section 2.9 hereof would be caused by such redesignation; provided, further, in each case, that (x) the applicable Lessee of such Vehicle shall pay to the Lessor on the next succeeding Payment Date an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Net Book Value of such Vehicle as of the date of redesignation and an amount equal to the Net Book Value of such Vehicle as of the date of redesignation had such Vehicle been a Non-Program Vehicle at the time of delivery thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 and (y) the Required Enhancement Amount required under each Supplement, after giving effect to such redesignation, shall be satisfied on the date of redesignation.

2.8. Vehicle Purchase Surplus Amount Payments.

On each Payment Date, the Lessor shall pay to the Lessees, from amounts on deposit in the AESOP I Segregated Account, the Vehicle Purchase Surplus Amount with respect to the Vehicles leased hereunder for such Payment Date. The Lessees shall have no right to demand, counterclaim, setoff, deduct, abate, defer, decrease or in any other way reduce any payment of Monthly Base Rent or Supplemental Rent by the Lessees hereunder for amounts due from the Lessor under this Section 2.8.

2.9. Limitations on the Acquisition or Redesignation of Certain Vehicles.

Unless otherwise specified in a Supplement or unless waived by the Required Noteholders as specified in a Supplement, (a) the aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles (or such portion thereof as is specified in such Supplement) manufactured by Manufacturers other than Eligible Non-Program Manufacturers and leased under this Agreement (after giving effect to the inclusion of such Vehicle under this Agreement) and the AESOP I Operating Lease as of such date shall not exceed any applicable Maximum Non-Eligible Manufacturer Amount, (b) the aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles (or such portion thereof as is specified in such Supplement) leased under this Agreement (after giving effect to the inclusion of such Vehicle under this Agreement) as of such date shall not exceed any applicable Maximum Financed Vehicle Amount, (c) the aggregate Net Book Value of all Non-Program Vehicles (or such portion thereof as is specified in such Supplement) leased under this Agreement (after giving effect to the inclusion or redesignation, as the case may be, of such Vehicle under this Agreement) and the AESOP I Operating Lease as of such date shall not exceed any applicable Maximum Non-Program Vehicle Amount, (d) the aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles (or such portion thereof as is specified in such Supplement) manufactured by a particular Manufacturer or group of Manufacturers and leased under the Leases (after giving effect to the inclusion of such Vehicle under this Agreement) as of such date shall not exceed any applicable Maximum Manufacturer Amount and (e) after giving effect to the inclusion or redesignation of such Vehicle under this Agreement, there shall not be a failure or violation of any other conditions, requirements or restrictions with respect to the leasing of Eligible Vehicles under this Agreement as is specified in any Supplement.

2.10. Certain Agreements Respecting the Master Exchange Agreement.

Without limiting any other provision hereof, each of the Lessor and the Administrator hereby covenants and agrees that it will cooperate with each Lessee in order to allow such Lessee to effect returns of Vehicles to the applicable Manufacturer under a Manufacturer Program and sales of Vehicles to third parties, in each case pursuant to Section 2.6 or 13.2, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, including by giving such notices and providing such information to the applicable Lessee or to other persons as the applicable Lessee may from time to time reasonably request.

The provisions of this Section 4.2 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

4.3. Net Lease.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND EACH LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL MONTHLY BASE RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL RENT AND OTHER SUMS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM, DEDUCTION OR REDUCTION FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. The obligations and liabilities of each Lessee 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 Vehicles pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof) for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) any defect in the condition, merchantability, quality or fitness for use of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (ii) any damage to, removal, abandonment, salvage, loss, scrapping or destruction of or any requisition or taking of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (iii) any restriction, prevention or curtailment of or interference with any use of the Vehicles or any part thereof; (iv) any defect in or any Lien on title to the Vehicles or any part thereof; (v) any change, waiver, extension, indulgence or other action or omission in respect of any obligation or liability of such Lessee or the Lessor; (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Lessee, the Lessor or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement by any trustee or receiver of any Person mentioned above, or by any court; (vii) any claim that such Lessee has or might have against any Person, including, without limitation, the Lessor; (viii) any failure on the part of the Lessor or any other Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement; (ix) any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any of the other Related Documents or any provision of any thereof, in each case whether against or by such Lessee or otherwise; (x) any insurance premiums payable by such Lessee with respect to the Vehicles; (xi) any failure of a Permitted Sublessee to perform its obligations under the Sublease to which it is a party; or (xii) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not such Lessee shall have notice or

-13-

knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseen or foreseeable. This Agreement 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 this Agreement, or to any diminution or reduction of Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent or other amounts 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, each Lessee shall not seek to recover any such payment or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error. If for any reason whatsoever this Agreement 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 such Lessee’s allocable portion of all Monthly Base Rent, all Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due hereunder at the time and in the manner that such payments would have become due and payable under the terms of this Agreement as if it had not been terminated in whole or in part. All covenants and agreements of each Lessee herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated.

5. INSURANCE.

Each Lessee represents that it shall at all times maintain or cause to be maintained insurance coverage in force as follows:

5.1. Personal Injury and Damage.

Insurance coverage as set forth in Section 31.3. In addition, each Lessee will maintain with respect to its properties and businesses insurance against loss or damage of the kind customarily insured against by corporations engaged in the same or similar businesses, of such types and in such amounts as are customarily carried by such similarly situated corporations.

5.2. Delivery of Certificate of Insurance.

Within ten (10) days after the Initial Closing Date, each Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor shall have delivered to the Lessor a certificate(s) of insurance naming the Lender, the Lessor, Original AESOP, PVHC, Quartx and the Trustee as additional insureds as to the item required by Section 31.3. Such insurance shall not be changed or canceled except as provided below in Section 5.3.

5.3. Changes in Insurance Coverage.

No changes shall be made in any of the foregoing insurance requirements unless the prior written consent of the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee are first obtained. The Lessor may grant or withhold its consent to any proposed change in such insurance in its sole discretion. The Lender and the Trustee shall be required to grant their consent to any proposed change in such insurance upon compliance with the following conditions:

(i) the applicable Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor shall deliver not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any proposed change in such insurance to the Lender and the Trustee; and

-14-

(ii) the proposed change will satisfy the Rating Agency Confirmation Condition.

6. RISK OF LOSS; CASUALTY AND INELIGIBLE VEHICLE OBLIGATIONS.

6.1. Risk of Loss Borne by Lessees.

Upon delivery of each Vehicle to the Lessee of such Vehicle, as between the Lessor and such Lessee, such Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such Vehicle, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities, including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to such 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 Vehicle, howsoever arising.

If a Vehicle becomes a Standard Casualty or an Ineligible Vehicle, then the Lessee of such Vehicle will (i) promptly notify the Lessor thereof and (ii) promptly, but in no event later than the Payment Date with respect to the Related Month during which such Vehicle became a Standard Casualty or an Ineligible Vehicle, pay to the Lessor the Termination Value of such Vehicle (as of the date such Vehicle became a Standard Casualty or an Ineligible Vehicle). Upon payment by such Lessee to the Lessor of the Termination Value of any Vehicle that has become a Standard Casualty or an Ineligible Vehicle (i) such Lessee shall be entitled to any physical damage insurance proceeds applicable to such Vehicle and (ii) the Administrator shall request the Trustee to cause its Lien to be removed from the Certificate of Title for such Vehicle.

7. VEHICLE USE.

So long as no Finance Lease Event of Default, Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred (subject, however, to Section 2.6 hereof), each Lessee may use each Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder in its regular course of business and may sublease such Vehicle to Permitted Sublessees from time to time pursuant to subleases (each such agreement, a “Sublease”), substantially in the form of the agreement attached hereto as Attachment C, for use in the rental car businesses of such Permitted Sublessees. Such use shall be confined primarily to the United States; provided, however, that the principal place of business or rental office of each Lessee and each Permitted Sublessee with respect to the Vehicles is located in the United States. The Administrator shall promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record all such documents, statements, filings and registrations, and take such further actions as the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee shall from time to time reasonably request in order to establish, perfect and maintain the Trustee’s Lien on the Vehicles leased by it hereunder and the Certificates of Title (other than noting the Lien of the Trustee on the Certificates of Title with respect to the Franchisee Vehicles (which shall reflect the Lien of the nominee lienholder under the applicable Franchisee Nominee Agreement)) with respect to such Vehicles as a perfected first lien in any applicable jurisdiction. Each Lessee and each

-15-

Permitted Sublessee may, at its sole expense, change the place of principal location of any Vehicles leased hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of location shall be undertaken unless and until (x) all actions necessary to maintain the Lien of the Trustee on such Vehicles and the Certificates of Title (other than noting the Lien of the Trustee on the Certificates of Title with respect to the Franchisee Vehicles (which shall reflect the Lien of the nominee lienholder under the applicable Franchisee Nominee Agreement)) with respect to such Vehicles shall have been taken and (y) all legal requirements applicable to such Vehicles shall have been met or obtained. Following the occurrence of a Finance Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, a Liquidation Event of Default or a Manufacturer Event of Default, and upon the Lender’s request, each Lessee shall advise the Lender in writing where all Vehicles leased hereunder as of such date are principally located. Each Lessee shall not knowingly use any Vehicles or knowingly permit the same to be used for any unlawful purpose. Each Lessee shall use reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to Vehicles. Each Lessee shall comply with all applicable statutes, decrees, ordinances and regulations regarding acquiring, titling, registering, leasing, insuring and disposing of Vehicles and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that operators are licensed. Each Lessee and the Lessor agree that such Lessee shall perform, at such Lessee’s own expense, such vehicle preparation and conditioning services with respect to Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder as are customary. The Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee or any authorized representative of the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee may during reasonable business hours from time to time, without disruption of any Lessee’s or any Permitted Sublessee’s business, subject to applicable law, inspect Vehicles and registration certificates, Certificates of Title and related documents covering Vehicles wherever the same be located. No Lessee shall sublease any Vehicles to any Person other than a Permitted Sublessee pursuant to a Sublease, and, except for a sublease to a Permitted Sublessee pursuant to a Sublease, no Lessee shall assign any right or interest herein or in any Vehicles; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit any Lessee or any Permitted Sublessee from renting Vehicles to third-party customers in the ordinary course of its respective car rental business. If any Lessee subleases any Vehicle to any Permitted Sublessee from time to time, such Lessee shall nevertheless remain responsible for all obligations arising hereunder with respect to such Vehicle.

8. LIENS.

Except for Permitted Liens, each Lessee shall keep all Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder free of all Liens arising during the Term. If on the Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date for any Vehicle leased hereunder any such Lien exists on such Vehicle, the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove such Lien and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge thereof, including attorneys’ fees and costs, will be paid by the Lessee of such Vehicle upon demand by the Lessor. The Lessor may grant security interests in the Vehicles leased by a Lessee hereunder without consent of such Lessee; provided, however, that if any such Liens would interfere with the rights of such Lessee under this Agreement, the Lessor must obtain the prior written consent of such Lessee. Each Lessee agrees and acknowledges that the granting of Liens and the taking of other actions pursuant to the Loan Agreements, the Indenture and the other Related Documents does not interfere with the rights of such Lessee under this Agreement.

-16-

9. NON-DISTURBANCE.

So long as each Lessee satisfies its obligations hereunder, its quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder will not be disturbed during the Term, subject, however, to Sections 2.6 and 18 hereof and except that the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee each retains the right, but not the duty, to inspect such Vehicles without disturbing the ordinary conduct of such Lessee’s or any Permitted Sublessee’s business. Upon the request of the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee from time to time, each Lessee will make reasonable efforts to confirm to the Lessor, the Lender and the Trustee the location, mileage and condition of each Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder and to make available for the Lessor’s, the Lender’s or the Trustee’s inspection within a reasonable time period, not to exceed forty-five (45) days, such Vehicles at the location where such Vehicles are normally domiciled. Further, each Lessee will, during normal business hours and with a notice of three (3) Business Days, make its records pertaining to the Vehicles leased by such Lessee available to the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee for inspection at the location where such Lessee’s records are normally domiciled.

10. REGISTRATION; LICENSE; TRAFFIC SUMMONSES; PENALTIES AND FINES.

Each Lessee, at its expense, shall be responsible for proper registration and licensing of Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder, and titling of such Vehicles (with the Lien of the Trustee noted thereon (except with respect to the Franchisee Vehicles for which the nominee lienholder under the applicable Franchisee Nominee Agreement is noted as the first lienholder)) and, where required, shall have such Vehicles inspected by any appropriate Governmental Authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, possession of all Certificates of Title shall at all times remain with (i) the Administrator, (ii) SGS Automotive Services, Inc., (formerly known as and successor in interest to Intermodal Transportation Services, Inc.), as agent for the Administrator, or (iii) any other titling service, acting as agent for the Administrator, that is approved in writing by the Required Noteholders of each Outstanding Series of Notes. The Administrator, or its agent, shall hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the Lessor and on behalf of the Lender and the Trustee. Each Lessee 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 Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle or imposed during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle by any Governmental Authority or any court of law or equity with respect to such Vehicles in connection with such Lessee’s operation of such Vehicles. The Lessor agrees to execute a power of attorney in substantially 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 Vehicles leased hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that possession of all Certificates of Title shall at all times remain with the Administrator, or its agent, who will hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the Lessor and on behalf of the Lender and the Trustee, and each Lessee acknowledges and agrees that its right, title and interest in or with respect to each Certificate of Title remains subject to the Lien of the Lessor granted hereunder, of the Lender under the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement and of the Trustee under the Base Indenture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lessor may terminate such Power of Attorney as provided in Section l8.3(iii) hereof.

-17-

11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

Each Lessee shall pay for all maintenance and repairs to keep the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder in good working order and condition, and such Lessee will maintain such Vehicles as required in order to keep the Manufacturer’s warranty in force. Each Lessee will return Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder to an authorized Manufacturer facility or such Lessee’s Manufacturer authorized warranty station for warranty work. Each Lessee will comply with any Manufacturer’s recall of any Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder. Each Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all usual and routine expenses incurred in the use and operation of the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder including, but not limited to, fuel, lubricants, and coolants. Each Lessee agrees that it shall not make any material alterations to any Vehicles leased hereunder without the prior consent of the Lessor. The Lessor shall have a first-priority security interest in all of the Lessees’ right, title and interest, if any, in and to any improvements or additions to any Vehicles.

12. VEHICLE WARRANTIES.

12.1. No Lessor Warranties.

EACH LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER, THE AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE VEHICLES LEASED BY SUCH LESSEE HEREUNDER. THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS, SAFENESS, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE VEHICLES NOR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE VEHICLES WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, AND AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND EACH LESSEE, EACH LESSEE AGREES TO BEAR ALL SUCH RISKS AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE. THE LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY VEHICLE FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND, AS TO THE LESSOR, EACH LESSEE LEASES THE VEHICLES “AS IS.” IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER CAUSED.

12.2. Manufacturer’s Warranties.

If a Vehicle leased hereunder is covered by a Manufacturer’s warranty, the Lessee of such Vehicle, during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle, shall have the right to make any claims under such warranty which the Lessor could make.

If such Lessee does not elect to purchase all such Vehicles pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5, as long as no Finance Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Lessee shall, on or prior to the Finance Lease Expiration Date (x) pay to the Lessor an amount equal to the Residual Value Payment for all such non-purchased Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder as of the Vehicle Finance Lease Expiration Date for each such Vehicle plus all accrued but unpaid Monthly Base Rent and all Supplemental Rent payable at such time and (y) return each such Vehicle to the Lessor in accordance with the following, as applicable:

(H) be in Vehicle Turn-In Condition.

(b) Each Lessee will return or cause to be returned each Program Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder (other than a Standard Casualty or a Program Vehicle which has become an Ineligible Vehicle) to the nearest related Manufacturer official auction or other facility designated by such Manufacturer at such Lessee’s sole expense or to such other location designated by the Lessor (with any additional cost of delivery in excess of what would have been incurred upon delivery to the related Manufacturer at the expense of the Lessor), in each case in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.1(b) hereof.

(c) Any rebate or credits applicable to the unexpired term of any license plates for a Vehicle leased by a Lessee hereunder shall inure to the benefit of such Lessee.

(d) If any Lessee shall fail to satisfy any provision of Section 13.2(a), then such Lessee shall pay to the Lessor within five (5) days after the end of the Term of this Agreement the aggregate amount of the Termination Value of all the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder immediately prior to such end of Term (rather than the Residual Value Payment required by subclause (x) of Section 13.2(a)).

13.3. Special Default Payments.

(a) Each Lessee will use its best efforts to maintain the Program Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder such that no Excess Damage Charges or Excess Mileage Charges will be deductible from the Repurchase Price due from a Manufacturer or payable by the Lessor upon the turn back of such Program Vehicles under the applicable Manufacturer Program. Upon (i) the deposit of the Repurchase Price of any Program Vehicle leased by a Lessee hereunder payable by the Manufacturer in the Collection Account or a Joint Collection Account (or the deposit of the Repurchase Price of any Program Vehicle sold through an auction conducted by or through a Manufacturer in the Collection Account or a Joint Collection Account), or (ii) the date by which the Repurchase Price of such Program Vehicle would have been paid if not for a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Lessor will charge such Lessee for any Excess Damage Charges and/or Excess Mileage Charges applicable to such Program Vehicle pursuant to the applicable Manufacturer Program (any such charges are referred to as “Program Vehicle Special Default Payments”).

(b) Each Lessee will use its best efforts to maintain the Non-Program Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder in a manner such that no Non-Program Vehicle Special Default Payments (as defined below) shall be due upon disposition of such Non-Program Vehicles by or for the benefit of the Lessor. Upon disposition of each Non-Program Vehicle leased hereunder by or for the benefit of the Lessor, other than the sale of any such Non-Program Vehicle to the Lessee of such Vehicle in accordance with the terms hereof, the Lessor will charge such Lessee (i) if such Non-Program Vehicle is manufactured by the same Manufacturer as any Program Vehicle or is subject to a Manufacturer Program, an amount equal to any Excess Damage Charges and/or Excess Mileage Charges that would be applicable to the comparable Program Vehicle pursuant to the applicable Manufacturer Program or an amount equal to any Excess Damage Charges and/or Excess Mileage Charges that are applicable to such Vehicle pursuant to the applicable Manufacturer Program, as the case may be, and (ii) if such Non-

-21-

Program Vehicle is subject to a Vehicle Turn-In Condition standard established pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(ii), an amount equal to any charges applicable to such Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to such Vehicle Turn-In Condition standard (any such charges are referred to as “Non-Program Vehicle Special Default Payments” and, together with the Program Vehicle Special Default Payments, the “Special Default Payments”).

(c) On each Payment Date, each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Special Default Payments that have accrued during the Related Month. The obligation of each Lessee to pay Special Default Payments shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the breach of its covenant contained in the first sentence of each of Section 13.3(a) and Section 13.3(b).

(d) The provisions of this Section 13.3 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

13.4. Early Termination Payments.

If any Lessee turns back any Program Vehicle leased hereunder to a Manufacturer under its Manufacturer Program (including by the Intermediary pursuant to the Master Exchange Agreement), upon the earlier of (i) the deposit of the Repurchase Price of such Vehicle in the Collection Account or a Joint Collection Account and (ii) the date by which such Repurchase Price would have been paid if not for a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Lessor will charge such Lessee an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Termination Value of such Vehicle (as of the Turnback Date) over (y) the sum of the Repurchase Price received with respect to such Vehicle or that would have been received but for a Manufacturer Event of Default, as applicable, and any Special Default Payments made by such Lessee in respect of such Vehicle pursuant to Section 13.3, plus (ii) any unpaid Monthly Base Rent for the Minimum Term with respect to such Vehicle plus any early turn back charges payable or deductible from the Repurchase Price of such Vehicle in accordance with Section 3.1(b) hereof (any such amount is referred to as an “Early Termination Payment”). On each Payment Date, each Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Early Termination Payments that have accrued with respect to such Lessee during the Related Month. The provisions of this Section 13.4 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

14. DISPOSITION PROCEDURE.

Each Lessee will comply with the requirements of law and the requirements of the Manufacturer Programs in connection with, among other things, the delivery of Certificates of Title and documents of transfer signed as necessary, signed Condition Reports, and signed odometer statements to be submitted with the Program Vehicles or Non-Program Vehicles returned to a Manufacturer pursuant to Section 2.6 and accepted by the Manufacturer or its agent at the time of Program Vehicle or Non-Program Vehicle return.

15. ODOMETER DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT.

Each Lessee agrees to comply with all requirements of law and all Manufacturer Program requirements with respect to Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder in connection with the transfer of ownership of any such Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the submission of any required odometer disclosure statement at the time of any such transfer of ownership.

16. GENERAL INDEMNITY.

16.1. Indemnity by the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor.

Each of the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and hold harmless the Lessor, the Lender, the Intermediary and the Trustee and the Lessor’s, the Lender’s, the Intermediary’s and the Trustee’s respective directors, officers, stockholders, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), on a net after-tax basis against any and all claims, demands and liabilities of whatsoever nature and all costs and expenses relating to or in any way arising out of:

16.1.1. the ordering, delivery, acquisition, title on acquisition, rejection, installation, possession, titling, retitling, registration, re-registration, custody by each Lessee, the Finance Lease Guarantor or their respective agents of title and registration documents, use, non-use, misuse, operation, deficiency, defect, transportation, repair, control or disposition of any Vehicle leased hereunder or to be leased hereunder pursuant to a request by a Lessee. The foregoing shall include, without limitation, any liability (or any alleged liability) of the Lessor to any third party arising out of any of-the foregoing, including, without limitation, all legal fees, costs and disbursements arising out of such liability (or alleged liability);

16.1.2. any document, stamp, filing, recording, mortgage or other taxes (other than net income taxes of the Lessor) which may be payable in connection with the lease of any Vehicles hereunder or the execution, delivery, recording or filing of this Agreement or of any other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith;

16.1.3. any violation by any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor of this Agreement or of any Related Documents to which any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or of any laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, licenses and withholdings of objecting of any governmental or public body or authority and all other requirements having the force of law applicable at any time to any Vehicle leased hereunder or any action or transaction by any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor with respect thereto or pursuant to this Agreement;

16.1.4. 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;

16.1.5. all out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lessor, the Lender, the Intermediary or the Trustee in connection with the administration, enforcement, waiver or amendment of this Agreement and any other Related Documents and all indemnification obligations of the Lender or the Lessor under the Related Documents (including all obligations of the Lessor under Section 13.4 and Section 13.5 of the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement); and

-23-

16.1.6. all costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the fees and out of pocket expenses of counsel) in connection with, or arising out of, any claim made by any third party against the Lessor for any reason (including, without limitation, in connection with any audit or investigation conducted by a Manufacturer under its Manufacturer Program).

If the Lessor shall actually receive any tax benefit (whether by way of offset, credit, deduction, refund or otherwise) not already taken into account in calculating the net after-tax basis for such payment as a result of the payment of any tax indemnified pursuant to this Section 16 or in connection with the circumstances giving rise to the imposition of such tax, such tax benefit shall be used to offset any indemnity payment owed pursuant to this Section 16 or shall be paid to the relevant Lessee (but only to the extent of any prior indemnity payments actually made pursuant to this Section 16 and only after the Lessor shall actually receive such tax benefits); provided, however, that no such payment to such Lessee shall be made while a Finance Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

16.2. Reimbursement Obligation by the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor.

Each Lessee and the Finance Lease Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand reimburse the Lessor or the relevant Indemnified Person for any sum or sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that to the extent such amounts constitute Excluded Payments, such amounts shall be paid only to the AESOP I Segregated Account; and provided further that, if so requested by the relevant Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, the Lessor or the relevant Indemnified Person shall submit to such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable, a statement documenting any such demand for reimbursement or prepayment. To the extent that any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor in fact indemnifies the Lessor or the relevant Indemnified Person under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement, such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the Lessor’s or the relevant Indemnified Person’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 16 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or any lease of any Vehicle hereunder.

16.3. Defense of Claims.

The Lessor agrees to notify any relevant Lessee of any claim made against it for which such Lessee may be liable pursuant to this Section 16 and, if such Lessee requests, to contest or allow such Lessee to contest such claim. If any Finance Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no contest shall be required, and any contest which has begun shall not be required to be continued to be pursued, unless arrangements to secure the payment of such Lessee’s obligations pursuant to this Section 16 hereunder have been made and such arrangements are reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. The Lessor shall not settle any such claim without such Lessee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

-24-

Defense of any claim referred to in this Section 16 for which indemnity may be required shall, at the option and request of the Indemnified Person, be conducted by the relevant Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable. Such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as the case may be, 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 such Lessee’s or the Finance Lease Guarantor’s assertion of such claim or defense. Each Lessee and the Finance Lease Guarantor agree that no Indemnified Person will be liable to such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable, for any claim caused directly or indirectly by the inadequacy of any Vehicle leased hereunder by such Lessee 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 repairs, servicing or adjustments 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 Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor. 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 any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor 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 above which such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor may have against the Manufacturer.

17. ASSIGNMENT.

17.1. Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement.

The Lessor shall have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of Vehicles by selling or assigning, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due from each Lessee and any third party under this Agreement and in any security therefor; provided, however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of each Lessee in the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder, including but not limited to such Lessee’s right of quiet and peaceful possession of such Vehicles as set forth in Section 9 hereof, and under this Agreement.

17.2. Limitations on the Right of the Lessees to Assign this Agreement.

Each Lessee agrees that it shall not, without prior written consent of the Lessor, CRCF and the Trustee and without having satisfied the Rating Agency Consent Condition, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to any other party; provided, however, that each Lessee may rent the Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder under the terms of its normal daily rental programs and/or sublease such Vehicles to Permitted Sublessees pursuant to a Sublease. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 17.2 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.

-25-

18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR.

18.1. Events of Default.

Any one or more of the following will constitute an event of default (a “Finance Lease Event of Default”) as that term is used herein:

18.1.9. the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the Internal Revenue Service shall have filed notice of one or more liens against any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor (unless such lien does not purport to cover the Collateral or any amount payable under the Leases), and, in the case of notice filed by the Internal Revenue Service, such notice shall have remained in effect for more than thirty (30) days unless, prior to the expiration of such period, such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable, shall have provided the Lessor with a bond in an amount at least equal to the amount of such lien or, in the case of any such lien in an amount less than $1,000,000, such Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor, as applicable, shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Lessor that such lien is being contested in good faith and that adequate reserves have been established in respect of the claim giving rise to such lien.

18.2. Effect of Finance Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default.

If any Finance Lease Event of Default described in Section 18 or any Liquidation Event of Default shall occur, (i) the Lessor may terminate the rights of the Lessees to place Vehicle Orders pursuant to Section 2.1 and to lease additional Vehicles from the Lessor, and (ii) if CRCF has declared the Loan Note under any Loan Agreement to be due and payable pursuant to Section 12.2 of such Loan Agreement, (x) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and any accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other payments accrued but unpaid under this Agreement (calculated as if all Vehicles had become a Standard Casualty for the Related Month and the full amount of interest on such Loan Note was then due and payable in full) shall, automatically, without further action by the Lessor or the Trustee, become immediately due and payable and (y) each Lessee shall, at the request of the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee, return or cause to be returned all Vehicles leased by such Lessee subject to this Agreement (and the Administrator shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Certificates of Title relating thereto) to the Lessor in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2 hereof.

18.3. Rights of Lessor Upon Finance Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default.

If a Finance Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default 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 Lessees (or any Lessee(s) against which the Lessor determines to exercise its remedies hereunder) or the Finance Lease Guarantor of the applicable covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 18.5; and/or

-27-

(ii) by notice in writing to the Lessees (or any Lessee(s) against which the Lessor determines to exercise its remedies hereunder) and the Finance Lease Guarantor, terminate this Agreement in its entirety and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessees (or in respect only of the applicable Lessee(s)) of Vehicles leased hereunder, and the Lessor may direct delivery by the Lessees (or in respect only of the applicable Lessee(s)) or the Finance Lease Guarantor of documents of title to the Vehicles leased hereunder, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessees (or the applicable Lessee(s)) to such Vehicles will cease and terminate (but the Lessees (or the applicable Lessee(s)) and the Finance Lease Guarantor will remain liable hereunder as herein provided; provided, however, that their liability will be calculated in accordance with Section 18.5); and thereupon, the Lessor or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the applicable Lessee(s), or other premises where such Vehicles may be located (including, without limitation, the premises of any Permitted Sublessee) and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessees (or the applicable Lessee(s)), or their successors or assigns, to use such Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever, and the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from the Lessee(s) or the Finance Lease Guarantor any and all amounts which under the terms of this Section 18.3 (as limited by Section 18.5 of this Agreement) as may be then due. The Lessor will provide the applicable Lessee(s) with written notice of the place and time of the sale at least five (5) days prior to the proposed sale, which shall be deemed commercially reasonable, and any Lessee may purchase such 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 Lessee(s) or the Finance Lease Guarantor will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 18.5. 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 Lessees (or the applicable Lessee(s)) or the Finance Lease Guarantor will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of such Lessee(s) and the Finance Lease Guarantor. 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 therein; and/or

(iii) proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by any Permitted Sublessee of the applicable covenants and terms of the related Sublease or to recover damages or any other amounts payable under such Sublease; and/or

(iv) by notice in writing to the Lessees (or any Lessee(s) against which the Lessor determines to exercise its remedies hereunder), terminate the Power of Attorney.

-28-

(iii) Upon a default in the performance (after giving effect to any grace periods provided herein) by the Finance Lease Guarantor or any Lessee of its obligations hereunder to keep the Vehicles leased hereunder free of Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and to maintain the Trustee’s first-priority perfected security interest in the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Collateral, the Lessor or the Trustee shall have the right to take actions reasonably necessary to correct such default with respect to the subject Vehicles including the execution of UCC financing statements with respect to Manufacturer Programs and other general intangibles and the completion of Vehicle Perfection and Documentation Requirements on behalf of the Finance Lease Guarantor or such Lessee, as applicable.

(iv) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, each Lessee shall return or cause to be returned any Program Vehicles leased by such Lessee hereunder to the related Manufacturer in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor. To the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program, the Lessor shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such Program Vehicles and to direct the Lessee thereof to dispose of such Program Vehicles in accordance with its instructions. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, each Lessee shall dispose of any such Non-Program Vehicles leased hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor. To the extent any Lessee fails to so dispose of any such Non-Program Vehicles, the Lessor shall

-29-

have the right to otherwise dispose of such Non-Program Vehicles. In addition, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Lessor shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-à-vis the Finance Lease Guarantor or any Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow (a) the Lender to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the Lender pursuant to Section 12.3 of the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement, and each of the Finance Lease Guarantor and the Lessees acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the Lender pursuant to Article 7 of the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement and that, under certain circumstances set forth in the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement, the Lender may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims and (b) the Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 9.2 of the Base Indenture, and each of the Finance Lease Guarantor and the Lessees acknowledges that (x) it has hereby granted to the Lessor all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lender to the Trustee pursuant to Article 3 of the Base Indenture and that, under the circumstances set forth in the Base Indenture, the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims and (y) under certain circumstances the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Lessor hereunder.

18.5. Measure of Damages.

If any Lessee fails to comply with the provisions of (a) Section 13.2 or (b) Section 3.1(b) hereof (each, a “Vehicle Return Default”), and the Vehicle is not redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle in accordance with Section 2.7, then the Lessor at its option may:

(i) proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or equity, to enforce performance by such Lessee of such covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 18.5 as it relates to such Vehicle; or

The Lessor will provide such Lessee with written notice of the place and time of the sale of such Vehicle at least five (5) days prior to the proposed sale, which sale shall be deemed commercially reasonable and such Lessee may purchase the Vehicle at such sale; or

(iii) hold, keep idle or lease to others such Vehicle, as the Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, free and clear of any rights of such Lessee without any duty to account to such Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect to such action or inaction except that such Lessee’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent for periods commencing after such Lessee shall have been deprived of the use of such Vehicle pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any, received by the Lessor from leasing such Vehicle to any person other than such Lessee for the same period or any portion thereof; or

(iv) whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter exercise any of the rights under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), demand by written notice to such Lessee that such Lessee pay to the Lessor immediately, and such Lessee shall so pay to the Lessor as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty,

(v) if the Lessor shall have sold any Vehicle pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Lessor in lieu of exercising its rights under clause (iv) above with respect to such Vehicle may, if it shall so elect, demand that the Lessee of such Vehicle pay to the Lessor and such Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the date of such sale as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent due through such date of sale plus the amount of any deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale and the Termination Value of such Vehicle computed as of the date of the sale.

18.7. Application of Proceeds.

The proceeds of any sale or other disposition pursuant to Section 18.2, 18.3 or 18.6 shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee in connection with such sale or disposition, including any reasonable costs associated with repairing any Vehicles, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) to the payment of outstanding Monthly Base Rent, (iii) to the payment of any Supplemental Rent, (iv) to the payment of all other amounts due hereunder, and (v) any remaining amounts to the Lessor, or such Person(s) as may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Any Lessee may satisfy its obligation hereunder by purchasing the Program Vehicles of the Defaulting Manufacturer pursuant to Section 2.5 or by selling such Program Vehicles to a third party; provided, however, that the funds received by the Lessor with respect to such Vehicle shall equal the Termination Value for such Vehicle, together with all Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent with respect to such Vehicle.

26.1. Finance Lease Guaranty.

In order to induce the Lessor to execute and deliver this Agreement and to lease Vehicles to the Lessees, and in consideration thereof, the Finance Lease Guarantor hereby (i) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lessor the obligations of each of ARAC and BRAC, as Lessees (the “Guaranteed Lessees”), to make any payments required to be made by them under this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause the Guaranteed Lessees to duly and punctually perform and observe all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Guaranteed Lessees under this Agreement, and (iii) agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever, any Guaranteed Lessee fails to so perform and observe such terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities, the Finance Lease 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 Finance Lease Guarantor under the guaranty contained in this Section 26 (this “Finance Lease Guaranty”) will be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances. This Finance Lease Guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of collection, and the Finance Lease Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not be required that the Lessor, the Lender or the Trustee assert or enforce any rights against any Guaranteed Lessee or any other person before or as a condition to the obligations of the Finance Lease Guarantor pursuant to this Finance Lease Guaranty.

26.2. Scope of Finance Lease Guarantor’s Liability.

The Finance Lease Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Guaranteed 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 Finance Lease Guarantor without first proceeding against a Guaranteed Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or any security held by the Lessor, and regardless of whether such Guaranteed Lessee or any other guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action. The Finance Lease Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall at all times remain effective with respect to the aggregate of the full amounts due from each such Guaranteed Lessee hereunder, notwithstanding any limitations on the liability of any such Guaranteed Lessee to the Lessor contained in any of the Related Documents or elsewhere. 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 Finance Lease 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 Guaranteed Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.

-34-

26.3. Lessor’s Right to Amend this Agreement, Etc.

The Finance Lease Guarantor authorizes the Lessor, at any time and from time to time without notice and without affecting the liability of the Finance Lease 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 Guaranteed Lessee, any other 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 Finance Lease Guaranty in whole or in part.

26.4. Waiver of Certain Rights by Finance Lease Guarantor.

The Finance Lease Guarantor hereby waives each of the following to the fullest extent allowed by law:

(ii) any act or omission of the Lessor or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any Guaranteed Lessee or any other Person or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; or

(iii) any disability or any other defense of any Guaranteed 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;

(i) accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations;

-35-

(ii) give notice to the Finance Lease 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 Guaranteed Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) all rights of subrogation, all rights to enforce any remedy that the Lessor now or hereafter has against any Guaranteed 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;

(e) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including without limitation notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Finance Lease Guaranty;

(f) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise available under New York law and the laws of any other jurisdiction; and

(g) all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of the Finance Lease Guarantor hereunder.

26.5. Finance Lease Guarantor to Pay Lessor’s Expenses.

The Finance Lease 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 Finance Lease Guaranty, or in the enforcement of this Finance Lease Guaranty, whether or not any action is filed in connection therewith.

-36-

26.7. Pari Passu Indebtedness.

The Finance Lease Guarantor (i) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the obligations of the Finance Lease Guarantor under this Finance Lease Guaranty will rank pari passu with any existing unsecured indebtedness of the Finance Lease Guarantor and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof the obligations of the Finance Lease Guarantor under this Finance Lease Guaranty will rank pari passu with any unsecured indebtedness of the Finance Lease Guarantor incurred after the date hereof.

Specifically, each of the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Finance Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee may exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against any Lessee or the Finance Lease Guarantor provided for herein (other than with respect to the right to receive Excluded Payments) and none of the Lessees or the Finance Lease Guarantor will interpose as a defense that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;

-37-

(iii) each of the Lessees and the Finance Lease Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to the AESOP I Finance Lease Loan Agreement and the Base Indenture the Lessor has irrevocably authorized and directed each Lessee and the Finance Lease Guarantor to, and each Lessee and the Finance Lease Guarantor shall, make any payments of Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) (other than Excluded Payments, which shall be paid to the AESOP I Segregated Account) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account established by the Trustee for receipt of such payments pursuant to the Base Indenture and such payments shall discharge the obligation of each such Lessee and the Finance Lease Guarantor to the Lessor hereunder to the extent of such payments.

From time to time the Finance Lease Guarantor and each Lessee will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals, and replacements with respect to the Vehicles.
