with the terms hereof, this "Agreement"), is made among RENTAL CAR FINANCE
CORP., an Oklahoma corporation ("RCFC"), DOLLAR THRIFTY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.,
a Delaware corporation ("DTAG" or the "Master Servicer"), and DOLLAR THRIFTY
FUNDING CORP., an Oklahoma corporation ("DTFC" or the "Note Purchaser").
BACKGROUND
1. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, RCFC is entering into (a) the Series 1998-1 Supplement, dated as of
even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
"Series 1998-1 Supplement"), between RCFC, as Issuer, and Bankers Trust
Company, a New York banking corporation, as the Trustee (in such capacity,
together with its successors in trust in such capacity, the "Trustee"), and as
the Enhancement Agent (in such capacity, the "Enhancement Agent"), to the Base
Indenture, dated as of December 13, 1995 (as amended by the Amendment to Base
Indenture, dated as of December 23, 1997, and as the same may be further
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance
with the terms thereof, the "Base Indenture"), between RCFC and the Trustee,
and (b) the Master Motor Vehicle Lease and Servicing Agreement, dated as of
even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
"Master Lease") among RCFC, as lessor, the parties identified therein as the
Lessees and Servicers, those additional Subsidiaries of DTAG, from time to time
becoming Lessees and Servicers thereunder, and DTAG, as Guarantor and Master
Servicer, and (c) the other Related Documents (such term, as with the other

Section 1.01 hereof) and CP Program Documents to which RCFC is a party.
Pursuant to the Base Indenture and the Series 1998-1 Supplement, RCFC will
issue the Rental Car Asset Backed Variable Funding Notes, Series 1998-1 (the

the Note Purchaser and obtain the agreement of the Note Purchaser to make loans
from time to time (each, an "Advance") for the purchase of Series 1998-1
Invested Amounts, all of which Advances (including the Initial Advance) will
constitute Increases, and all of which Advances (including the Initial Advance)
will be evidenced by the Series 1998-1 Notes purchased in connection herewith
and will constitute purchases of Series 1998-1 Invested Amounts corresponding
to the amount of such Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Note Purchaser is willing to make Advances from time to time to
fund

Borrowing (which Borrowing date shall, except in the case of the Initial
Advances, be an Increase Date). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall in each case refer to this Agreement and specify the aggregate amount of
the requested Borrowing to be made on such date (which Borrowing shall be in an
amount equal to at least $250,000 and, in the case of the Initial Advance only,
in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000. The Collateral Agent shall
promptly advise the Note Purchaser of any notice given pursuant to this
section, and promptly upon the Collateral Agent's receipt of notice from the
Note Purchaser on whether the Note Purchaser shall make such Advances shall
notify each of RCFC and the Trustee whether the Note Purchaser has determined
to make such Advances. On the date of

each Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the
Series 1998-1 Supplement, the Note Purchaser shall make available to RCFC the

or maintain its investments in the Series 1998-1 Notes. Each of RCFC and the
Master Servicer agrees to give the Collateral Agent and the Note Purchaser

SECTION 8.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse. (a) RCFC.
Each of DTAG, the Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as such) and the

of any Notes issued by RCFC pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not
institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, RCFC,
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law, all as more particularly set forth in Section 12.16 of the Base
Indenture and subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 8.10(a) shall constitute a waiver of any
right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from RCFC pursuant to
this Agreement, the Series 1998-1 Supplement or the Base Indenture. In the
event that DTAG, the Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as such) or the

including the payment or any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim
arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee,
officer, director, affiliate or incorporator of RCFC; provided, however,
nothing in this Section 8.10(a) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from
any liability which any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence
or willful misconduct. In addition, each of the parties hereto agree that all
fees, expenses and other costs payable hereunder by RCFC shall be payable only
to the extent set forth in Section 12.17 of the Base Indenture and that all
other amounts owed to them by RCFC shall be payable solely from amounts that
become available for payment pursuant to the Base Indenture and the Series
1998-1 Supplement.

Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as such), hereby covenants and agrees
that it will not, and the Master Servicer will cause the Lessees not to, prior
to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the
latest maturing Commercial Paper Notes, institute against, or join with any
other Person in instituting against, DTFC, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement,
-15-
19
insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law, subject to any retained rights set forth
therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8.10(b) shall
constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other
payment from DTFC pursuant to the Collateral Agreement or other CP Program
Document or other Related Document. In the event that RCFC, the Master
Servicer, the Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as such) or any of the
Lessees takes action in violation of this Section 8.10(b), DTFC agrees that it
shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest
the filing of such a petition by any such Person against DTFC or the
commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed
in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded
therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may
assert. The provisions of this Section 8.10(b) shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.
Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by RCFC, the Master
Servicer, the Collateral Agent or any Lessee in assertion or defense of its
claims in any such proceeding involving DTFC. The obligations of DTFC under
this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of DTFC. No recourse shall
be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement,
including the payment or any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim
arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee,
officer, director, affiliate or incorporator of DTFC; provided, however,
nothing in this Section 8.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from
any liability which any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence
or willful misconduct.

and the Note Purchaser agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential
Information to any Person without the prior written consent of DTFC, the Master

disclosure authorized by RCFC or DTFC.
"Confidential Information" means information that DTFC, RCFC, the
Master Servicer or the applicable Lessee furnishes to the Collateral Agent or

Person to which the Collateral Agent or the Note Purchaser delivered such
information or that is or becomes available to the Collateral Agent or the Note
Purchaser from a source other than DTFC, RCFC, the Master Servicer or
applicable Lessee, provided that such source is not (1) known to the Collateral
Agent or the Note Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with
DTFC, RCFC, the Master Servicer or the applicable Lessee, as the case may be,
or (2) known to the Collateral Agent or the Note Purchaser to be otherwise
