Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC has agreed to purchase these GM vehicles in a mix which includes a considerable number of GM’s higher priced models and which represents a higher percentage of these units than Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC otherwise would purchase. The agreed mix of units is listed in Attachment 2.

Specified quantities and brands are described in Attachment 3a.

4.  
GM agrees to provide the following total model year volume bonus payment, providing Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC meets the required total model year volume commitment, placing final model year orders for production by July 31, 2007.

[REDACTED]

The total model year volume bonus will be paid on applicable volume in August of 2007, dependent on Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC’s total 2007 model year production as of July 31, 2007.

Above required volume is a combination of Daily Rental Purchase Programs (VN9, YT1) and National Rental Program (VX7) units and includes the total of purchases made by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC as part of the total volume requirement for the specific bonus level attainment.
 
If Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC exceeds the highest volume bonus level as noted above, GM will maintain the $/per unit payment for each unit at or above that level. All payments of the above sums will be made in August of 2007, and handled under the terms and conditions of Paragraph 9 excluding the requirement of the electronic media transmission to RIMS.

5.  
Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC agrees to the following conditions for all production after September 30, 2006:

a. Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC will attempt to place orders no more than 30% or less than 20% of a months production in any week provided GM can make such a production commitment.

b. All vehicle minimum equipment requirements will be placed for production on a monthly basis.

c. Any vehicles which do not meet the minimum equipment requirements will be deducted from the Model Year Bonus.

Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC must submit [REDACTED] of the total 2007 model year daily rental vehicle purchases (excluding any type of rejected turn-back vehicles) before GM will process any incentives toward a reclassification application.

8.  
Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC shall purchase 2007 models noted in Attachment 5 under the terms and conditions of the 2007 Model Year National Fleet Purchase Program (VX7 Program - refer to Attachment 6) and in exchange GM agrees to provide a per unit amount detailed in Attachment 5 in addition to any incentives due under the terms and conditions of GM’s 2007 Model Year National Purchase Program.

It is understood that payment of the sums due to ABG in paragraphs 2 and 4 are based upon achieving the minimum purchase volume requirements cited in those paragraphs and the related schedules. It is further understood that any payments received prior to attaining the indicated volume will be returnable to GM at the close of the model year should the volume not be attained by ABG. An electronic media transmission received after the last business day of the month will be paid by the 25th of the following month. This electronic media transmission must include VIN numbers on the portion of the minimum quantity of units detailed in Attachment 2 and Attachment 5, delivered in the preceding month, and not covered in previous payments. Application for this incentive must be made no later than December 31, 2007.

10.

11.  
In the event Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC chooses to cancel any order placed by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC through GM dealers, at event code 3000, GM will assess a penalty of $500 per vehicle to be paid to GM upon demand. This penalty will be waived if the current production week has been delayed more than three weeks from the original requested production week. Further, this penalty will not apply if Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC chooses to redirect the shipment of any vehicles in event code 3000.
 

 


12.

14.  
Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC agrees that in all advertising and promotional materials, developed for its Avis brand during the 2007 Model Year (September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007), Avis advertising will feature only General Motors products where any vehicle is featured or promoted.

OTHER PROGRAM GUIDELINES:

 
A.
This is the General Motors guideline regarding the definition of a "rental" vehicle:

   
"The bona fide rental of a vehicle involving use and payment by a customer on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Usage of any such vehicle(s) by a customer for a period of four (4) consecutive months or longer shall be deemed to constitute leasing and not rental and will make the vehicle ineligible for purchase."

   
In the event a vehicle enrolled in the Daily Rental Purchase Program is found to be on-rent (lease) to a customer in excess of the above guideline, or if the customer consecutively rents multiple enrolled vehicles for an aggregate term of four (4) or more months, all vehicles involved in such transactions will not be considered rental and will be ineligible for purchase. If necessary, General Motors will audit the rental company to ensure compliance with this guideline.

 
B.
All General Motors general guidelines and definition of terms relative to incentive programs (refer to General Motors Dealer Sales Allowance and Incentive Manual Articles 2 and 3) that were supplied to your dealership apply to this program.

 
C.
All eligible units must be delivered to the ultimate customer through a General Motors dealership or a qualified drop-ship location. Purchases or deliveries made through any other entity or individual are ineligible for payment.

 
D.
All deliveries to customers with a valid Fleet Account Number (FAN) must be reported as 020 Daily Rental fleet delivery regardless of order type.

 
E.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the dealer being disqualified for future participation in fleet programs and terminations of dealer sales and service agreement(s).

 
F.
Orders not produced during the 2007 model production period will be canceled. There are no provisions for dealers and/or rental customers to receive any allowance for canceled orders.
 
 
G.
Capitalized cost shall be calculated at dealer cost of base vehicle and optional equipment, plus freight, less Hawaii excise tax and tire weight tax, if applicable.
     
 
H.
General Motors reserves the right to cancel, amend, revise, or revoke any program at any time based on its sole business judgements. Final decisions in all matters relative to the interpretation of any rule or phase of this activity rests solely with General Motors.

Dealer must take full responsibility for including the proper processing option on all orders. Should errors occur in the ordering of vehicles, resulting in diversions or re-invoicing, the dealer may be charged an administrative fee.

 
All qualified fleet orders for eligible models received from the dealer must contain the Fleet Account Number (FAN) of record and account name.

 
The ordering entity is responsible for checking dealer order acknowledgements to verify accuracy of order submitted. Dealer orders currently on hand or in the system that qualify under this program, unless they do not contain the appropriate processing options, can be amended or canceled and reordered if they have not been released to production. This is the ordering dealer's responsibility.

 
Fleet orders submitted with Fleet Processing Option VN9 and incompatible retail incentive options will be rejected with an error message.

 
Colors Not Eligible for Purchase - Refer Mandatory Optional Equipment.

 
Required Options - Processing Option VN9, YT(x) and your customer assigned UPC processing code must be ordered by the dealer on purchase vehicles to be enrolled in the 2007 Model Year Daily Rental Purchase Program. Processing Option VN9 will provide a net invoice - less holdback.

6.
COMPATIBLE INCENTIVE/ALLOWANCE PROGRAMS:

 
Vehicles enrolled in the 2007 Model Year Daily Rental Purchase Program are not eligible for any other fleet/retail program, including, but not limited to, the Dealer Fleet Ordering Assistance Program (VQ), and any General Motors Dealer Rent A Car program.

7.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Not Applicable.

8.
METHOD OF PAYMENT:

 
Check to title holder or financial institution upon receipt and clearance of proper paperwork at an approved GM turn-in site and General Motors Corporation.

 
Purchase payment is made in the form of a check to the title holder or financial institution at the address shown on the title, or address information received in the form of a RAVE record, unless prior arrangements are made.

 
The Payment Modification System (PMS) provides an effective method to redirect purchase checks to lending institutions as co-payee with the titled owner.
 
 
If a lender and a daily rental operator desire co-payee/redirection, please direct requests for additional information in writing to:

OTHER PROGRAM GUIDELINES:

 
A.
This is the General Motors guideline regarding the definition of a "rental" vehicle:

   
"The bona fide rental of a vehicle involving use and payment by a customer on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Usage of any such vehicle(s) by a customer for a period of four (4) consecutive months or longer shall be deemed to constitute leasing and not rental and will make the vehicle ineligible for purchase."

   
In the event a vehicle enrolled in the Daily Rental Purchase Program is found to be on-rent (lease) to a customer in excess of the above guideline, or if the customer consecutively rents multiple enrolled vehicles for an aggregate term of four (4) or more months, all vehicles involved in such transactions will not be considered rental and will be ineligible for purchase. If necessary, General Motors will audit the rental company to ensure compliance with this guideline.

 
B.
All General Motors general guidelines and definition of terms relative to incentive programs (refer to General Motors Dealer Sales Allowance and Incentive Manual Articles 2 and 3) that were supplied to your dealership apply to this program.

 
C.
All eligible units must be delivered to the ultimate customer through a General Motors dealership or a qualified drop-ship location. Purchases or deliveries made through any other entity or individual are ineligible for payment.

 
D.
All deliveries to customers with a valid Fleet Account Number (FAN) must be reported as fleet deliveries regardless of order type.
 

 
E.
Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in the dealer being disqualified for future participation in fleet programs and terminations of dealer sales and service agreement(s).

 
 
F.
Orders not produced during the 2007 model production period will be canceled. There are no provisions for dealers and/or rental customers to receive any allowance for canceled orders.
 
 
 
G.
Capitalized cost shall be calculated at dealer cost of base vehicle and optional equipment, plus freight, less Hawaii excise tax and tire weight tax, if applicable.

 
 
H.
General Motors reserves the right to cancel, amend, revise, or revoke any program at any time based on its sole business judgements. Final decisions in all matters relative to the interpretation of any rule or phase of this activity rests solely with General Motors.

General Motors Corporation
2007 Model Year
Repurchase-Rental Reclassification Program


A.  
Program Guidelines:
Vehicles eligible for the repurchase-rental reclassification program must have an average of [REDACTED] miles prior to resale in the used car market. It is the rental account’s responsibility to maintain on file verification of vehicle mileage at the time the vehicle is sold in the used car market. GM reserves the right to audit the rental company to insure compliance with this guideline.

Rental customers must submit [REDACTED] of the rental customer’s total GM 2007 model year daily rental vehicle purchases (excluding any rejected turnback units), before GM will process a reclassification application. These vehicles must be identified by VIN through electronic media transmission to GM - (C3 De-Enroll File Format.) Once processed, these units will be identified in the GM’s auction system (RIMS) as permanent auction rejects and will be ineligible for return to GM.

Permanently rejected auction vehicles are also considered ineligible for reclassification incentive allowances. No exceptions will be made for reasons of frame, fire or flood damage for the 2007 model year reclassification program.

Vehicles previously turned-in and accepted by a GM-Sponsored Auction location are not eligible for reclassification.

Vehicles selected for reclassification by the rental customer, which are not deemed “permanent rejects” must have been used exclusively in daily rental business, and must comply with the terms and conditions outlined in GM's National Fleet Purchase Program for the appropriate 2006 model year.


B.  
Application Requirements:
Application for payment will be accepted on a quarterly basis.

Reclassification applications must be submitted to RIMS using an FTP service i.e. FileDrive in the DE_ENROLL file format.
 



 
C.  
Final date of submission for payment for the 2007 Model Year:
 
June 30, 2009.
 


D.  
General Policy Guidelines:
 
Rental customer agrees to retain any documents or records relevant to vehicles purchased under this program and/or claims submitted for payment under this program for two years after the close of this program. Rental customer agrees to permit any designated representative of GM to examine audit and take copies of any accounts and records the rental customer is to maintain under this program. The rental customer agrees to make such accounts readily available at its facilities during regular business hours. GM agrees to furnish the rental customer with a list of any reproduced records.

GM reserves the right to cancel, amend, revise or revoke any program at any time based on its sole business judgements. Final decisions in all matters relative to the interpretation of any rule or phase of this activity rests solely with General Motors.

2007MY GM Rental Advertising Guidelines

1.  
In all mediums, the phrase “X Rental Company features GM vehicles” must be stated in copy size type, and not in disclaimer size type. In print this translates to no smaller than 10 pt. type, and for TV the copy should be larger than the network standard for legal disclaimers of 22 scan lines.

2.  
Please note that the phrase must use the word “vehicles” and not “cars.”

3.  
In TV, the phrase must be on the screen long enough for an average person to notice and read it. For reference purposes, the network standard for the length of time a legal disclaimer must be on the screen is three seconds for the first line and one second for the following lines. Obviously, we would want to be on longer than this if possible.

4.  
A full shot of the vehicle must be displayed, particularly in TV ads. We prefer to have our vehicles identifiable by sight as well as in print.

5.  
All vehicles must be identified by manufacturer and nameplate, i.e. Chevrolet Blazer, in print next to the vehicle, as well as in any accompanying copy.

6.  
In TV spots, the same identification must be in print or given verbally.

7.  
All vehicles used in rental car spots must be stock vehicles, with no alterations.

8.  
Any person in a moving vehicle must be shown with their seatbelt on. This point is non-negotiable with our Legal Staff.

Title Shipping and Handling Procedure

The interpretation of these Guidelines is solely the discretion of General Motors Corporation.

The Daily Rental Guaranteed Residual Program is for the major rental accounts only (Vanguard, Avis, and Hertz). Under the Daily Rental Guaranteed Residual Program, vehicles would continue to be returned to and accepted by GM. Title will remain in the rental account's name until the vehicle is sold at auction. Title will be assigned from the rental account directly to dealer.

I.  
GENERAL CONDITION STANDARDS

A.  
Vehicle Return Requirements
¨  
Vehicle must be returned washed and vacuumed. Vehicles with dirty interiors including newspapers, cups and other trash will be charged a $35 Dirty Interior MET Fee.
¨  
Vehicles with an exterior that is too dirty to inspect will be gate released to the rental account for washing. When the vehicle is returned and inspected a $75.00 re-inspection fee will be charged.
¨  
Vehicles must have a minimum ¼ tank of gasoline with the exception of Hawaii vehicles, which cannot exceed a ¼ tank of gasoline.
¨  
Emission labels are required to be in place and legible on all vehicles returned to General Motors. Vehicles without an emission label will be currently ineligible and gate released to the rental account. A $75.00 re-inspection fee will be charged when the vehicle is repaired and returned.
¨  
Vehicles must have two (2) sets of keys, all owner manuals, floor mats, and programmed keyless remotes/key fobs and all other remotes, included as original equipment.

B.  
Title, Registration, Tax, VIN Plate

¨  
A vehicle submitted with a COV (Certificate of Origin for a Vehicle) or a branded title, is not eligible for return.
¨  
All vehicles must have a valid and current registration. State and local taxes must be paid prior to turn-back. The Daily Rental Company must comply with State regulations pertaining to proof of payment for State and local taxes.
¨  
The vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number Plate (VIN) must be readily and completely readable and properly attached to the dash panel. Any obstruction causing a portion of the plate to be covered is not acceptable.
¨  
The plate must be flush and secure with the rivets intact and tight.
¨  
The plate cannot be bent, cracked or torn and the rivets cannot be damaged in any manner.
¨  
Bent or loose VIN plates cannot be repaired or replaced. General Motors cannot replace a VIN plate or the rivets used to attach it to the dash panel.
¨  
VIN plates not meeting these criteria will render the vehicle permanently ineligible for return to General Motors.
¨  
VIN plates replaced by a General Motors Assembly Plant to correct a manufacturing error will be acceptable.
¨  
Titles for all turn-back vehicles for the Daily Rental Companies must be received by the SGS Title Center within three (3) business days of vehicle turn-back to the address shown below. The vehicle turn-back date is considered the first day. See Exhibit I for detailed title shipping instructions.
 


¨  
The rental company must remove vehicles at an auction waiting for title more than 30 days. The vehicle will be Currently Ineligible and will be assessed a re-inspection fee if / when it is returned.

C.  
Collision Damage

¨  
The GM Disclosure Policy mandates that all prior damage and repairs must be electronically disclosed prior to turn back, excluding warranty repairs performed by the Rental Company or a GM Dealer.
¨  
Collision damage must be disclosed and be supported by repair orders, if requested by the inspection provider on behalf of General Motors.
¨  
Repair orders must accurately reflect all work performed and include all associated repair costs.
¨  
The inspection provider, on General Motors behalf, will request a Repair Order when:
1.  
Previous repaired damage noted during the inspection does not agree with the disclosure.
2.  
The dollar amount disclosed appears too high or low based on the visual inspection.
3.  
The disclosed damage areas and the disclosed repair amount appear significantly out of line.
¨  
Requested repair orders must be received by the inspection provider within two business days of the request for the rental account to maintain their original turn in date. Requested repair orders not received by the inspection provider within seven (7) business days will be deemed currently ineligible and must be gate released and removed from the yard until the repair order is available. A $75.00 re-inspection fee will be charged when the vehicle is returned with the requested repair order.

¨  
The electronic disclosure must be checked in the appropriate box (Yes or No), confirming or denying previous damage. Failure to disclose previous damage at turn-in will be grounds for rejecting the vehicle (Refer VI, Vehicle Integrity).

¨  
Prior repairs cannot exceed $2250 for Category 1 vehicles, $2750 for Category 2 vehicles, $3250 for Category 3 vehicles and $4250 for Category 4 vehicles. These amounts exclude costs related to vehicle glass, tires, wheels and wheel covers, and Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system components including air bags and other related major SIR parts such as modules, sensors and coils. “Loss of use charges” are also excluded. Vehicles exceeding these maximums are not eligible for turn-in. See Exhibit A, Vehicle Categories.

D.  
Damage Allowance, Existing Damage and Previous Repairs

¨  
GM will absorb the cost of repairs on those vehicles returned with less than or equal to $400 existing damage. Non-chargeable and chargeable items will be listed on the AD006 (Vehicle Condition Report) with charged items only being priced and applied to the $400 damage allowance per vehicle.
¨  
GM will charge the Daily Rental Company for current damage in excess of the $400 damage allowance plus a service fee. The service fee will be applied as follows:
 
 


 
AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF $400
SERVICE FEE
$0 TO $99
EQUAL TO AMOUNT OVER $400
$100 TO $1,099
$100
$1,100 TO $1,599
$200
 

¨  
Vehicles with existing damage exceeding $2000 are not eligible for return.
¨  
For "Poor Prior Repairs" valued at $500 or less, GM will accept the vehicle and charge the estimated repair cost to the Daily Rental Company under the MET program.
¨  
For “Poor Prior Repairs” valued at over $500, GM will consider the vehicle “Currently ineligible.”
¨  
If a vehicle is identified as “currently ineligible” as a result of a tire problem, unacceptable glass, inoperable item (e.g. light or horn) or other mechanical reason, such as warranty repair, GM will allow the unit to be gate released, repaired for these reasons only, returned and re-inspected without the Daily Rental Company having to repair the existing chargeable damages, regardless of dollar amount (over or under $400). The $75 Re-inspection Fee will apply.
¨  
If the return unit has had partial repairs on any chargeable damage that was identified on the unit when it was originally inspected, the entire vehicle must be repaired to zero dollars ($0) chargeable. The intent is to not allow partial repairs to chargeable damages facilitating the avoidance of charges by the Daily Rental Company in bringing the current damages below the $400 chargeable allowance.
¨  
Any vehicle with identified “Poor Prior Repairs,” totaling $500 or less, that is removed by the Daily Rental Company as a result of a tire problem, unacceptable glass, inoperable item (e.g. light or horn) or other mechanical reason, such as warranty repair, may repair the unit for the reason it was removed and return it without repairing the “Poor Prior Repairs” which will be charged as a MET item.
¨  
If a vehicle is removed to repair any existing damage and / or “Poor Prior Repairs,” all existing damage and / or “Poor Prior Repairs” must be repaired to GM standards prior to return. Repairs must bring the vehicle back to zero chargeable damage excluding MET items.
¨  
Missing equipment will not be included as part of the chargeable damage allowance, but will be charged per the Missing Equipment Program (MET, refer to Section IV). Missing equipment are small items such as owners manual, cigarette lighters, etc. that are easily lost and/or replaced during turn-back.

E.  
Vehicle Maintenance

¨  
Vehicles must be maintained as described in the Vehicle Owners Manual. Failure to comply will result in permanent rejection of the vehicle. The repair/replacement of an engine or transmission failure that is due to non-compliance of vehicle maintenance will be chargeable to the Daily Rental Company whether at acceptance/receipt or sale. An authorized representative for General Motors will conduct inspections.

¨  
AFTER - MARKET EQUIPMENT

Any after-market parts or accessories i.e. GPS / navigational systems, pick-up truck bed liners, running boards, etc. installed by the rental account or their agent must have prior  GM Remarketing approval prior to installation. Drilling, electrical modifications, etc. without prior approval will render the vehicle permanently ineligible. Pick-up truck bed liners, running boards, etc. must be left on the vehicle at turn back.
 


 
IV.  
MISSING EQUIPMENT PROGRAM (MET)

¨  
The Missing Equipment Program (MET) is designed to expedite turn-in by allowing the Daily Rental Company to pay for select missing parts or accessories as determined by GM Remarketing (refer to Exhibit C), as opposed to the Daily Rental Company replacing the part or accessories. MET items will be deducted from the repurchase payment to the Daily Rental Company. MET items will not be included as part of the $400 chargeable damage allowance (Refer to Section I-D page 3, Damage Allowance).
¨  
Vehicles turned in with one or all the mats missing, on vehicles so equipped, will be assessed a MET charge for missing mats or for the set if none are returned with the vehicle. All 2005 and subsequent model year vehicles will be assessed the appropriate MET fee for any missing floor mats. Floor mats are required per the “Minimum Equipment Requirements” for all 2005 model year vehicles. (Refer to Exhibit C).
¨  
Keyless remote / key fobs must be operational. Key fobs that are not functional will be charged $30.00 for re-programming. Missing key fobs will be assessed the programming fee, which is included in the Met fee for the missing key fob (s) (refer to Exhibit C).

V.  
OPERATING CONDITIONS

¨  
A vehicle must comply with all aspects of the applicable program guidelines or it is not eligible for return.
¨  
Each vehicle and all accessories shall be in sound mechanical and electrical operating condition. Repair of these items must be made prior to turn-in or the vehicle will be rejected.
¨  
Any vehicle equipped with supplemental inflatable restraints (S.I.R.) including driver, passenger or side airbags that have been deployed, missing or otherwise disconnected, must be replaced with the approved OEM replacement and must meet GM standards prior to turn-in.

VI.  
VEHICLE INTEGRITY

Damage which compromises the integrity of the vehicle, repaired or not, will be grounds for rejecting the vehicle as a permanent reject. Minor damage that has not been repaired (i.e., small dents, scrapes, or scratches) which does not compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle is acceptable on the following components:

Ø  
Floor Panel / Trunk Floor
Ø  
Mid - Rail Assembly (See Exhibit D, part 1)
Ø  
Outer Rocker Panels / Pinch Welds
Ø  
Frame Rails / Rail Extensions
Ø  
Sub-Frame Assemblies (Engine Cradles) (See Exhibit D, part 2)

Total time for Frame Set-up and Measure and any cosmetic repairs of 2.0 hours or less are acceptable, on the following components, provided there is no structural damage and the repairs meet GM standards:

Ø  Frame Rail / Rail Extensions
Ø  Apron / Upper Reinforcements
Ø  Cowl Panel
Ø  Hinge / Windshield "A" Pillar
Ø  Center / "B" Pillar


The cosmetic repair time shown above is just that, cosmetic. This may include aligning the ends of the frame rails to align the bumper, etc. Pulling or sectioning frame rails, doorframes, and pillars are not acceptable repairs for rental vehicles being turned back to General Motors. A cosmetic repair to frame rails does not include adding body filler / Bondo. This practice will permanently reject the vehicle.

Repaired damage or replacement of the following components is acceptable:
 
Ø  Radiator Core Support
Ø  Frame Rail Extensions
Ø  Engine Sub-Frame
Ø  Outer Rocker Panel
Ø  Rear Body Panel
Ø  Quarter Panel (Proper Sectioning is Acceptable)
Ø  Roof (Repair only, no repair to the Roof Rails)

VII.  
LITIGATION LIABILITY
Non-disclosure of damages or the use of non-GM OEM parts by the Daily Rental Company may result, at GM's discretion, in the Daily Rental Company being named as a participant in any litigation brought against GM. If a Daily Rental Company attempts to return vehicles with non-disclosed damage, or purposely conceal prior repairs, it will result in GM refusing to accept additional vehicles for turn-back.

VIII.  
GENERAL TURN-IN PROCEDURES

A.  
FORECAST

1.  
At least 30 days prior to vehicle turn-in, the GM Remarketing Department is to be notified, in writing (E-mail) by the Corporate Office of the Daily Rental Company of the following:
Ø  Turn-in location
Ø  Quantity

Please E-mail this forecast to your Account Representative. E-mail address can be found on page 13.

2.  
Two weeks prior to turn-in, the Daily Rental Company is to advise the GM approved turn-in location of tentative quantities and days for turn-in via written confirmation. GM reserves the option to limit daily returns. Failure to comply with this procedure may result in GM's refusal to allow any vehicle to be returned, thus delaying the actual acceptance date.

B.

Vehicles returned for repurchase shall be delivered to a GM approved turn-in location and parked in the designated return area at no expense to GM. A list of GM approved locations is attached and is subject to change at GM's discretion (Exhibit D). Normal operating hours for delivery is 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. The Daily Rental Company should allow sufficient time to prepare the vehicle for turn-in, i.e. clean, vacuum, repaired/replaced items, etc.

C.  
INSPECTION


Vehicles will be inspected by an authorized representative of GM, using the electronic Form AD006. The initial vehicle inspection will be provided to the Daily Rental Company at General Motor's expense. The Daily Rental Company will be charged $75 for each inspection and/or verification required after the initial inspection. Hawaii vehicles will be charged $115 for each inspection required after the initial inspection.
 
¨  
The $75 re-inspection fee will be charged when a vehicle has been previously inspected and removed by the Daily Rental Company prior to acceptance, or when the Daily Rental Company replaces MET items.


 
D.  
REVIEWS

¨  
The Met/Non-Met report WILL BE printed twice daily - at mid-day and end-of-business (5:00 PM). The end-of-day report will not contain the day's summary but rather summarize what was completed after the mid-day report.
¨  
Vehicle worksheets are printed and available throughout the day.
¨  
Reviews can be conducted throughout the day. However, reviews must be completed prior to three (3:00) PM the day following printing of the worksheet. This will permit prompt shipment of vehicles. If the review is not completed prior to three (3:00) PM, the vehicle will be processed as per the original inspection.
¨  
Vehicles with current damage not exceeding $400 and MET charges collectively not exceeding $40 will be processed as written, with no right to review. Keyless entry key fob programming is not included in the $40 total and is not considered a reviewable MET charge.

E.  
ACCEPTANCE

¨  
A copy of the Form AD006 or an electronic file will serve as the acceptance receipt for the Daily Rental Company. The date used to stop depreciation will be identified on the acceptance line of Form AD006 or on the electronic file.

¨  
The Daily Rental Company will have three (3) business days from the vehicle turn-in date to provide the vehicle title to the SGS Title Center: 9805-C NorthCross Center Court, Huntersville, NC 28078 in order to receive the turn-in date as the depreciation stop date/acceptance date (should all other conditions be satisfied). The day the vehicle is turned in is considered the first business day. See Exhibit I for more details.

¨  
Turnback Limits - No more than 25% of a customer’s annual GM purchases can be returned in a single month or 30 day period. No more than 34% of a customer’s annual GM purchases can be returned in the 4th quarter. In the event of a rental account bankruptcy, GM would allow the rental account, at their option, to return their GM buyback vehicles evenly over any 3 month timeframe.

¨  
Transportation Liability - The rental company is responsible for turning the vehicle to the appropriate turn-back location for acceptance. After acceptance, GM will be responsible for logistics and collection of any subsequent damage. The acceptance process will remain unchanged and after acceptance, GM will have sole responsibility for controlling the sale.

F.  
PAYMENTS
 
 


 
¨  
When the vehicle sells at auction, the auction will direct net sale proceeds to the rental account. Net sale proceeds are defined as gross sales price less auction sales fees/expenses and transportation. The rental accounts will receive net sales proceeds within 2 business days after sale. The net proceeds will be forwarded to the rental accounts through Chase Bank's ACH system (or a similar structure as Chase is currently updating this system). GM will then process a true-up payment (Guaranteed Repurchase price less penalties less net sales proceeds already transmitted). GM will process the true-up payment on the 5th work day of each month and EFT to the rental accounts on the 7th work day. True-up payments will cover vehicles sold in the previous month (vehicles sold in July will be trued-up in August payment).

¨  
The RACs and GM are both interested in ensuring that the correct payments are made to the Rental Agencies by the auctions. Accordingly, GM will audit the net sales proceeds before they are released but will not stop the release. In the event of misdirected funds, GM will assume responsibility for making any correcting payments or collections.  This will be accomplished via invoicing and credit payment. GM will also provide reporting to the rental accounts on net sales proceeds rather than all the individual auctions sending sales data to the rental accounts.

¨  
SmartAuction process - The GM SmartAuction will continue to be operated by GMAC. Accordingly, all net sales proceeds will flow through GMAC to the Chase payment system to the rental accounts similar to the auction process. On day 1, when a dealer purchases a vehicle on SmartAuction, GMAC will access the dealer floorplan for payment. That evening, GM notifies the title center of the sold vehicles and purchasing dealer. On day 2, GMAC sends sales data to GM for review, at which point, the approval to release funds is triggered which may be the same day or typically the following day. Coincident with the review by GM on day 2, title center begins identifying and assigning titles to the purchasing dealer on day 2 and Fed Ex on day 3 depending on timing.

¨  
Buyback Provision - In the event that a vehicle is unsold and is still in GM inventory after 90 days of acceptance, GM will transfer the vehicle from the Daily Rental Guaranteed Residual Program to the Daily Rental Acquisition Program status on the 91st day. GM will initiate payment for the full guaranteed repurchase price (less penalties) within the BARS system and the rental account will be paid in approximately 7 days. The rental account will assign the title to GM when the vehicle reaches 90 day. GM will perform a weekly scan of the inventory with a run cycle to occur over the weekend to avoid mid-week program changes. Should the number of vehicles over 90 days old for any rental company exceed 3% of that rental company's total accepted inventory, GM will not sell those vehicles until the rental accounts have received payment from GM and GM receives notice that the titles have been released. This metric (3%) will be calculated on a month-end basis.

¨  
Interest - For vehicles that are unsold after 25 days, GM will accrue $3.00/day to the rental accounts starting on the 26th day. On the 61st day, the rate will increase to $4.50/day until the vehicle is sold or transferred to the Daily Rental Acquisition Program. Interest will be paid with the true-up payment.

Hawaii Vehicles - Due to the extended transportation time for Hawaii vehicles, Hawaiian vehicles will be segregated in the GM system. The buyback provision will be implemented at 120 days vs. 90 for these vehicles and interest charges will begin accruing at $3.00/day for vehicles in inventory over 56 days and at $4.50/day for vehicles in inventory over 91 days.

¨  
General Motors does not staff, nor process repurchase payments during the Christmas holiday or any period of time General Motors is closed (e.g. two week mandatory shutdown during July). Payment processing will not resume until General Motors officially returns to work.
 
 


 
G.  
REJECTS

¨  
Rejected vehicles left at marshalling yards in excess of three (3) business days upon removal notification may result in no additional vehicles being approved for return.
¨  
Vehicles at an auction waiting for title more than 30 days must be removed by the rental company. The vehicle will be Currently Ineligible and will be assessed a re-inspection fee if / when it is returned. General Motors and all approved turn-in locations are not responsible for any liability regarding rejected vehicles, not removed within three (3) business days.
¨  
Vehicles that are classified as a Permanent Reject will be assessed a $50 service charge. General Motors Remarketing will provide a quarterly invoice which will include the turn back location, turn back date, VIN, and the reject reason.

 
H. OTHER

¨  
Mechanical and body shop labor rates used to calculate chargeable damage will be subject to change. The following are the current labor rates for metal repairs, paint, and mechanical (part replacement).
·  
$37.80 Metal Repair - No change
·  
$37.80 Paint - No change
·  
$38.00 Part Replacement (mechanical)

¨  
In the event a vehicle is returned to General Motors in error, the following guidelines will be used to return the vehicle to the rental account.

RENTAL ACCOUNT REQUEST FOR VEHICLE RETURN “PRIOR” TO ACCEPTANCE
Vehicle will be temporarily rejected by General Motors and returned to the rental account. If the vehicle is returned, at a later date, a $75.00 re-inspection fee will be charged.

RENTAL ACCOUNT REQUEST FOR VEHICLE RETURN “AFTER” ACCEPTANCE
PAYMENT CAN BE STOPPED
The vehicle will be released back to the rental account from its current location. A $250 administrative fee will be charged to the rental account in addition to all applicable expenses, including a $25 inspection fee and applicable shipping / marshalling expenses on a cost basis.


PAYMENT CANNOT BE STOPPED OR FUNDS ALREADY RECEIVED
The vehicle will not be returned to the rental account.


IX.  
PERMANENTLY REJECTED VEHICLES

¨  
Should disqualifying damage be noted after vehicle acceptance, General Motors will invoice the Daily Rental Company for the vehicle purchase price, an administrative fee of $250, plus any additional costs incurred following vehicle acceptance by GM (i.e., freight, cleanup, repairs), by a debit to current funds, or if no funds are available, a check forwarded to:
 
 


 
General Motors Corporation
Fleet and Commercial Operations - Remarketing
Renaissance Center
Tower 100, 16th Floor
MC 482-A16-B36
Detroit, MI 48265-1000

¨  
Vehicles removed from the program for any reason become the responsibility of the Daily Rental Company. The Daily Rental Company is responsible for arranging vehicle pick-up at a location designated by General Motors.
