ARTICLE I — AMENDMENT
SECTION 1.01. AMENDMENT TO SECTION 1303 OF THE INDENTURE.
Section 1303 of the Indenture is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Section 1303.Release of Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1302, a Guarantee will be subject to termination and discharge under the circumstances described in this Section 1303. A Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Guarantee, and such Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect, (i) in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, concurrently with such
Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary or concurrently with any direct or indirect sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture (including Section 411 and Section 501) by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) at any time that such Guarantor is released from all of its obligations under all of its Guarantees of payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facility (it being understood that a release subject to contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated), provided that the release of obligations described in this clause (ii) shall not apply to Avis Budget Group, Inc., (iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Company or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following or contemporaneously with the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor, provided that the release of obligations described in this clause (iii) shall not apply to Avis Budget Group, Inc., (iv) upon legal or covenant defeasance of the Company’s obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or (v) subject to Section 1302(b), upon payment in full of all monetary obligations of the Company under this indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. In addition, the Company will have the right, upon 30 days’ notice to the Trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not guaranteed payment by the Company of any Indebtedness of the Company under the Senior Credit Facility to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect.”
