F-1 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. Garden City, New York We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, common stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP New York, New York January 29, 2001 (March 2, 2001 as to Note 27) F-2 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.

See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. F-6 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries, which was incorporated on October 17, 1996. The Company and its former parent, Avis Inc., were acquired by Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") on October 17, 1996 (the "Date of Acquisition"). Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries are referred to throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements as (the "Company"). On January 1, 1997, Avis, Inc., the Company's former ultimate parent, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant, contributed the net assets of its corporate operations and all of its common stock ownership in Avis International, Ltd. and subsidiaries, Avis Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries, Pathfinder Insurance Company and Global Excess & Reinsurance, Ltd. to the Company. Pursuant to a plan developed by Cendant prior to the Date of Acquisition, Cendant caused the Company to undertake an initial public offering ("IPO"). On September 24, 1997, the Company issued and sold 22,425,000 shares of its common stock through such IPO and received net proceeds of $359.3 million. On March 23, 1998, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of its common stock through a public offering (the "Offering") and received net proceeds of approximately $161.2 million. In addition, in the Offering on March 23, 1998, Cendant reduced its ownership of the Company by selling 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock and retained the net proceeds. As a result of the IPO, the Offering on March 23, 1998, the net repurchase of 2,120,588 shares and 2,672,700 shares of treasury stock by the Company during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and the issuance of Series A and C preferred stock in connection with the VMS acquisition (see Notes 2, 15 and 16), Cendant's common stockholder's equity interest in the Company at January 1, 2001 is approximately 18% excluding potential conversion of Preferred Stock (see Notes 15, 17 and 25). The Company has used the net proceeds from these offerings to (i) acquire certain Avis System franchises (see Note 2) and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the repayment of certain indebtedness. A Cendant subsidiary owns and operates the reservation system as well as the telecommunications and computer processing systems which service the rental car operations for reservations, rental agreement processing, accounting and vehicle control. Cendant is reimbursed for such services at cost (see Note 6). In addition, a Cendant subsidiary charges the Company a royalty fee for the use of the Avis trade name (see Note 6). On March 19, 1999, and June 30, 1999, the Company purchased the common stock and franchise rights of Rent-A-Car Company, Incorporated, of Richmond Virginia ("Rent-A-Car, Inc.") and Motorent, Inc. of Nashville Tennessee ("Motorent") for approximately $10.1 million and $49.3 million, respectively. These acquisitions were financed through internally generated funds. On June 30, 1999, the Company completed the transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of May 22, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), with PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant, PHH Holdings Corporation ("PHH Holdings"), a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PHH Corporation, and Avis Fleet Leasing and Management Corporation, a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Acquisition Subsidiary"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Acquisition Subsidiary and PHH Holdings merged on June 30, 1999 and the Acquisition Subsidiary acquired the fleet leasing and management and fuel card business of PHH corporation ("VMS") for approximately $1.8 billion and refinanced VMS indebtedness of approximately $3.5 billion (the "VMS Acquisition"). The acquisition financing included borrowings by the Company of $1 billion of term loans, the issuance by the Company of $500 million of senior subordinated notes, and the issuance by the Acquisition Subsidiary of $362 million of preferred stock (see Notes 11, 15 and 16). On August 9, 2000, the Company completed a transaction with BNP Paribas ("BNP") to form a joint venture company that owns PHH Europe. As part of the transaction, BNP acquired an 80% interest in the joint venture, with the Company retaining a 20% interest. The Company received $800 million in cash and had its intercompany indebtedness with PHH Europe repaid. PHH Europe, with operations in the United Kingdom and Germany, is engaged in the business of leasing vehicles and providing fee based services, including fuel and maintenance cards, accident management and other vehicle services to its customers. Accordingly, the Company's 20% investment in the joint venture is reported as Investment in PHH/Arval joint venture in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the earnings of the joint venture are included in the Statement of Operations on the equity method of accounting. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets of PHH Europe and the proceeds from the sale have been accounted for as a reduction of cost in excess of net assets acquired relating to the VMS Acquisition. F-7 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Cendant Merger Agreement On November 11, 2000 Cendant and the Company entered into a definitive agreement for Cendant to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company that are not currently owned by Cendant at a price of $33.00 per share (the "Merger Consideration"), in cash, and all outstanding and unexerised options to purchase the common stock of the Company, (which have not elected to convert their options to Cendant options) at the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of each option. Approximately 25.9 million outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock shares are not owned by Cendant and approximately 7.5 million unexercised non-converted options are outstanding. Principles of Consolidation All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Accounting Estimates Generally accepted accounting principles require the use of estimates, which are subject to change, in the preparation of financial statements. Significant accounting estimates used include estimates for recoverability of the cost in excess of net assets acquired, the determination of public liability, property damage and other insurance liabilities, and the realization of deferred income tax assets. However, actual results may differ. Revenue Recognition Vehicle Rental Revenue: Revenue is recognized over the period the vehicle is rented. Vehicle Leasing Revenue: The Company primarily leases vehicles under three standard arrangements: open-end operating leases, closed-end operating leases or open-end finance leases (direct financing leases). These leases are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Each lease is either classified as an open-end or closed-end operating lease or open-end finance lease and are included in Vehicles, net-leasing and Finance lease receivables, respectively, on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Vehicle lease terms generally range from 36 to 72 months. Amounts charged to the leases for interest on the unrecovered investment are credited to income on a level yield method. Other Fee Based Revenue: Revenue from fleet management services other than leasing are recognized over the period in which services are provided and the related expenses are incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers unrestricted deposits and short-term investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. F-8 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Cash Held on Deposit with Financial Institution Cash held on deposit with financial institution represents lease payments collected from the Company's vehicle leasing customers by one of the Company's lenders in connection with the Company's VMS Domestic Asset Based Financing Structure (see Vehicle Leasing and Other Fee Based Debt in Note 11). Cash collected during the month by the lender, net of vehicle purchases, is settled with the Company in the early part of the following month. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes cash and short-term investments that are not readily available for normal Company disbursements. Certain amounts have been set aside as required under the Company's debt covenants and to satisfy insurance related and other commitments of the Company. Finance Lease Receivables Finance Lease Receivables are leases accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 13, which are classified as a direct financing lease, as defined. The Company records the cost of the leased vehicle as an "investment in finance leases". Amounts charged to the lessees for interest on the unrecovered investment are credited to income on a level yield method. Vehicles, Net Rental vehicles are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, incentives and allowances. In accordance with industry practice, when vehicles are sold, gains or losses are reflected as an adjustment to depreciation. Vehicles are generally depreciated at rates ranging from 11% to 28% per annum. Manufacturers provide the Company with incentives and allowances (such as rebates and volume discounts) which are amortized to income over the holding periods of the vehicles. Leasing vehicles include vehicles which are leased to customers under either open-end or closed-end operating leases: Open-end Operating Leases - Under these leases, the minimum lease term is 12 months with a month to month renewal thereafter. In addition, resale of the vehicles upon termination of the lease is generally for the account of the lessee except for a minimum residual value, which the Company has guaranteed. The Company guarantees 16% of the original cost of the unit for the first 24 months of the lease, and then 16% of the fair market value of the unit at inception of the month to month renewals thereafter. Closed-end Operating Leases - Under these leases, the minimum lease term is 12 months or longer. However, 24 and 36 month lease terms are the most prevalent. These leases are cancelable under certain conditions. Resale of the vehicles upon termination is for the account of the Company. Open-end finance leases provide that the resale of the vehicles upon termination of the lease are for the account of the lessee. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Estimated useful lives range from five to ten years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, to thirty years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of twenty years or the remaining life of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed; renewals and improvements are capitalized. When depreciable assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. F-9 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired, Net Cost in excess of net assets acquired is amortized over a 40 year period and is shown net of accumulated amortization of $85.6 million and $50.7 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Impairment Accounting The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including cost in excess of net assets acquired, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The measurement of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax undiscounted cash flows generated. The measurement of impairment requires management to use estimates of expected future cash flows. If an impairment loss existed, the amount of the loss would be recorded under the caption costs and expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. It is reasonably possible that future events or circumstances could cause these estimates to change. Public Liability, Property Damage and Other Insurance Liabilities, Net Insurance liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position include additional liability insurance, personal effects protection insurance, public liability and property damage ("PLPD") and personal accident insurance claims for which the Company is self-insured. The Company is self-insured up to $1 million per claim under its automobile liability insurance program for PLPD and additional liability insurance. Costs in excess of $1 million per claim are insured under various contracts with commercial insurance carriers. The liability for claims up to $1 million is estimated based on the Company's historical loss and loss adjustment expense experience, which is adjusted for current trends. The insurance liabilities include a provision for both claims reported to the Company as well as claims incurred but not yet reported to the Company. This method is an actuarially accepted loss reserve method. Adjustments to this estimate and differences between estimates and the amounts subsequently paid are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they occur. Foreign Currency Translation The assets and liabilities of foreign companies are translated at year-end exchange rates. Results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resultant translation adjustment is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within consolidated common stockholders' equity. Income Taxes The Company files a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return and has adopted the calendar year as its fiscal year. The Company files separate income tax returns in states where a consolidated return is not permitted. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Pensions Costs of the defined benefit plans are actuarially determined under the projected unit credit cost method and include amounts for current service and interest on projected benefit obligations and plan assets. The Company's policy is to fund at least the minimum contribution amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $89.2 million, $86.7 million and $77.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. F-10 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. Analyses are performed on an on-going basis to determine that a high correlation exists between the characteristics of derivative instruments and the assets or transactions being hedged. As a matter of policy, derivative activities are not engaged for trading or speculative purposes. Exposure to credit-related losses exist in the event of non-performance by counterparties to certain derivative financial instruments. At December 31, 2000, the Company's derivative financial instruments included interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap and floor agreements, gasoline options and options embedded in certain interest rate swap agreements, "Swaptions" (see Notes 11, 13, 15 and 27). Interest on the Company's interest rate swap agreements, and interest rate cap and floor agreements are cash settled on a net basis for each agreement quarterly. The Company's swaption agreements and certain purchased and sold interest rate cap agreements are marked to market with adjustments to fair value recorded in earnings. Gains or losses from the sale or exercise of gasoline options are recognized when the underlying option is sold. Environmental Costs The Company's operations include the storage and dispensing of gasoline. The Company accrues losses associated with the remediation of accidental fuel discharges when such losses are probable and reasonably estimatable. Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. Recent Accounting Pronouncements A recent pronouncement of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which is not required to be adopted at this date, is SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", ("SFAS No. 133"), which is effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No.133" and SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the use of the derivative. Adoption of these new accounting standards will result in cumulative after-tax reductions in net income of approximately $7.6 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2001. A recent pronouncement of the Financial Standards Board which is not required to be adopted at this date, except for certain disclosures, is SFAS No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", ("SFAS No. 140"), which is effective for the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2001. SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures. The Company does not believe that SFAS No. 140 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation of the current year's consolidated financial statements. F-11 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.

These acquisitions were financed through internally generated funds. On June 30, 1999, the Company completed the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement with PHH Corporation, PHH Holdings Corporation and the Acquisition Subsidiary. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Acquisition Subsidiary and PHH Holdings merged on June 30, 1999 and the Acquisition Subsidiary acquired the fleet leasing and management and fuel card business of VMS for approximately $1.8 billion and refinanced VMS indebtedness of approximately $3.5 billion.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company purchased the assets of several other Avis System franchises for approximately $15 million in cash. If these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1998, they would not have had a material impact on the Company's results of operations. The excess purchase price over the net assets acquired for these acquisitions was approximately $90 million. Note 3 - Formation of Joint Venture On August 9, 2000, the Company announced that it had completed a transaction with BNP Paribas ("BNP") to form a joint venture company that owns PHH Europe and, which within one year, will merge with BNP's vehicle management subsidiary, Arval Service Lease S.A. ("Arval"). As part of the transaction, BNP acquired an 80% interest in the joint venture, with the Company retaining a 20% interest. The Company received $800 million in cash and had its intercompany indebtedness with PHH Europe repaid. The Company used the sale proceeds to retire Term Loans A, B and C of its outstanding Acquisition Financing (see Note 11). The revenue and net income of PHH Europe included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 are (in thousands): 2000 1999 ---------- -------- Revenue $ 158,939 $139,399 ========== ======== Net Income $ 27,589 $ 30,969 ========== ======== The revenue and net income of PHH Europe for the periods presented above includes the results of operations of PHH Europe from the date of acquisition (June 30, 1999) through July 31, 2000 (formation of the PHH/Arval joint venture).

A subsidiary of the Company which owns 20% of PHH/Arval, is liable under the laws of the United Kingdom for all the obligations of PHH/Arval upon its liquidation which remain after the assets of PHH/Arval are sold. PHH/Arval incurred a loan of approximately $800 million to complete the BNP Paribas transaction. The Company's subsidiary is liable for the loan to the extent PHH/Arval does not have sufficient assets to repay the loan upon its liquidation. A newly formed subsidiary of the Company has guaranteed its subsidiary's liability under the loan.

These entities do not require consolidation as they are not controlled by the Company and all risks and rewards rest with the owners. Additionally, receivables related to managed vehicles totaling approximately $120.7 million and $110.9 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are owned by special purpose entities, which are owned by the Company. However, such assets and related liabilities have been netted in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position since there is a two-party agreement with determinable amounts, a legal right to offset exists which the Company has exercised. The Company receives monies from vehicle manufacturers which is deferred and recognized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the vehicles. Vehicle Sale-Leaseback Transactions During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company entered into sale-leaseback transactions with an independent third party ("Counterparty") in Canada. In addition, the Company is party to similar arrangements with the Counterparty resulting from transactions incurred prior to 1999. Under these arrangements, the Company sells its interest in operating leases and its vehicles under operating leases to the Counterparty. Then, it repurchases the leased vehicles (the Counterparty retains the lease rights). Subsequently, the Company leases the vehicles under a direct financing lease to the Counterparty. The Counterparty prepays all lease payments except for an agreed-upon residual amount. These residual amounts are typically 3% to 8% of the total lease payments. The residual amounts represent the total exposure to the Company from these transactions. The total amount of net investment in operating leases and leased vehicles sold under these agreements was $184.6 million and $48.1 million as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

F-17 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Vehicle Rental Debt On July 31, 1997, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. ("ARACS"), entered into a domestic integrated fleet financing program that provided for financing for vehicles covered by Repurchase Programs, (the "Avis ABS Facility"). As of December 31, 2000, the availability under this financing program is $4.2 billion. The Avis ABS Facility provides for the issuance of up to $1.5 billion of asset-backed variable funding notes (the "Commercial Paper Notes") and $2.7 billion of asset backed medium term notes (the "Medium Term Notes"). The Commercial Paper Notes and the Medium Term Notes are backed by a first priority security interest in the domestic rental fleet. Additional credit enhancement is provided for the Medium Term Notes by an escrow account of $113 million and $90 million, which is included in "Restricted Cash" (see Note 4) on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The weighted average interest rates on the Commercial Paper Notes were 6.6%, and 6.4% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The interest rates on the Series 2000-1, 2000-2, 2000-3 and 2000-4 floating rate asset-backed notes at December 31, 2000 were 6.9%, 7.0%, 6.9% and 6.9%, respectively. On June 30, 1999, the Company entered into a $1.35 billion secured credit facility (the "Credit Facility") which is guaranteed by certain of it's subsidiaries. The Credit Facility consists of (i) $1 billion of Term Loans (see Acquisition Financing below), (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $350 million which is available on a revolving basis until June 30, 2005 in order to finance the working capital needs of the Company in the ordinary course of business (with up to $75 million of such amount available for the issuance of standby letters of credit to support workers' compensation and other insurance and bonding requirements of ARACS, the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, and a 364 day standby letter of credit facility of up to $225 million available to fund (a) any shortfall in certain payments owing to AESOP Leasing, a subsidiary of ARACS pursuant to fleet agreements and (b) maturing Commercial Paper Notes if such Commercial Paper Notes cannot be repaid through the issuance of additional Commercial Paper Notes or draws under the liquidity facility supporting the Commercial Paper Notes). Revolving Loans bear interest at either Chase Manhattan Bank's ("Chase") alternate base rate ("ABR") plus 0.75% or the Euro dollar rate plus 1.75% (at the Company's option). For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's Revolving Loans was 9.6% and 8.9%, respectively. The average interest rate on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2000, and 1999, was 8.5% and 10.3%, respectively. Upon the closing of the PHH/Arval transaction and the retirement of the term loans (see Note 3), the revolving credit portion of this facility was amended to increase the facility to $450 million. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had issued letters of credit of $27.1 million and $29.2 million under the revolving credit facility and $150 million under the $225 million standby letter of credit facility, respectively. As of December 31, 2000, under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company had outstanding $225 million at a variable interest rate with terms identical to the Term A Loan Notes (see Acquisition Financing below). The Credit Facility is secured by the tangible and intangible assets of the Company (including, without limitation, its intellectual property, its rights under the Master License Agreement and related agreements, real property and all of the capital stock or equivalent equity ownership interests of the Company and each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the Company first-tier foreign subsidiaries), except for those assets which are subject to a negative pledge or as to which the agents for the Credit Facility shall determine in their sole discretion that the costs of obtaining such a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby. The weighted-average interest rates of the short-term notes-foreign as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 were 6.4% and 5.8%, respectively. Vehicle Leasing and Other Fee Based Debt In connection with the VMS Acquisition (see Note 2), Avis Group Holdings, Inc. refinanced the VMS existing fleet debt with the proceeds of approximately $2.7 billion domestic and $720 million foreign asset-backed securities issued pursuant to an offering of asset-backed securities (the "Interim VMS ABS Offering"), under certain fleet financing facilities and together with the Avis ABS Facility. The domestic securities comprising the Interim VMS ABS Offering are issued by a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity (the "Domestic ABS Issuer") and placed initially with a single multi-seller commercial paper conduit, and thereafter may be syndicated to one or more other bank sponsored conduits (collectively the "CP Conduits"). The CP Conduits will acquire Domestic Variable Funding Notes ("VFNs"), Domestic Preferred Membership Interests and U.K. Advances using the proceeds of commercial paper issuances. In addition, from time to time, the Domestic ABS Issuer may issue medium-term notes secured by the Domestic ABS Assets, using the proceeds of any such offerings to reduce the amount of Domestic VFNs then outstanding. F-18 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) On October 28, 1999, $1 billion of 7 and 12 year Medium Term Notes ("MTN's") were issued to replace a like amount of Domestic VFN's. This facility consists of two classes of floating rate asset-backed notes: Class A-1 notes, which total $550 million and Class A-2 notes, which total $450 million. Interest rates are reset monthly at LIBOR plus 32 basis points and LIBOR plus 35 basis points for the class A-1 and Class A-2 notes, respectively . The Class A-1 notes have an average expected life of 2 years and commence amortizing in March 2001 and have a final stated maturity of October 2006. The average interest rate on the Company's Class A-1 and Class A-2 notes was 6.9%, 5.7% and 7.0% and 5.8% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Class A-2 notes have an average expected life of 3 years and commence amortizing when the Class A-1 notes are repaid in full. The Class A-2 notes have a final stated maturity of October 2011. Both classes of notes are rated AAA by Standard and Poors and Aaa by Moody's. In addition to the floating rate asset-backed notes, the Company may issue up to $1.75 billion Variable Funding Investor Notes to a group of multi-seller commercial paper conduits. The Domestic VFN agreement expires in October 2001 and is renewable annually. The blended interest rate in effect at December 31, 2000 for the domestic asset-backed securities (including program fees from 32 to 35 basis points) is 6.71%. The Company has also issued two series of Senior Preferred Membership Interests (see Note 12), which total $99.3 million, at a rate (including program fees of 70 basis points) of 6.67% at December 31, 2000. At December 31, 1999, VMS-U.K. had $856 million asset-backed facility (the "U.K. ABS Facility"), which was supported by the leased vehicles and fuel card receivables of the various VMS-U.K entities. VMS-U.K. was funded through a group of multi-seller commercial paper conduits. The interest rate was variable and was based on commercial paper notes plus a weighted average margin of approximately 45 basis points. As of December 31, 1999, there was approximately $850.4 million outstanding at a blended rate of 6.66%. This facility was repaid and terminated in connection with the formation of the PHH/Arval joint venture (see Note 3). Self-Fund Notes Self-fund notes represent loans made by customers to purchase leased vehicles. Repayment of these notes is matched to payments on the underlying lease including the disposal of the vehicles at maturity. Interest can be fixed or floating, depending on the underlying leases. The average interest rate at December 31, 2000 was 7.6%. The loans are repayable at expiration of the various lease terms. At December 31, 2000 self-funded notes expire between 2003 and 2013. Wright Express Certificates of Deposit At December 31, 2000, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit of $138.9 million are all less than one year. The interest rates range from 5.48% to 7.20%. Acquisition Financing In connection with the VMS Acquisition in June 1999, (see Notes 1 and 2 ), the Company borrowed $1 billion of term loans, consisting of $250 million ("Term A Loan"), $375 million ("Term B Loan") and $375 million ("Term C Loan"), under the credit facility described previously. On August 9, 2000 the Company retired Term Loans A, B, and C from the proceeds of the sale of PHH Europe and the repayment of PHH Europe's intercompany indebtedness (see Note 3). Interest expense on Term Loan A, B, and C for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $57.7 million and $44.4 million, respectively, with an weighted average interest rate of 9.6% and 8.9%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's Term Loans A, B, and C at December 31, 1999 was 8.9%, 9.4% and 9.6%, respectively. In addition, the Company issued $500 million of Senior Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2009 with an interest rate of 11% (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The Senior Subordinated Notes are subordinated in the right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by ARACS and other domestic subsidiaries of the Company that guarantees the Senior Credit Facility (as defined). Interest is payable semi-annually commencing November 1, 1999. F-19 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The agreements with the Company's lenders include a number of significant covenants that, among other things, restrict its ability to dispose of non-fleet assets, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, prohibit the payment of dividends, enter into certain investments or acquisitions, repurchase or redeem capital stock, engage in mergers or consolidations or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict corporate activities. Certain of these agreements also require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios. As of December 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants related to these agreements. Mandatory maturities of long-term obligations, including current maturities, for each of the next five years ending December 31, and thereafter, are as follows (in thousands): 2001.......................................................... $ 303,936 2002.......................................................... 1,247,772 2003.......................................................... 784,526 2004.......................................................... 104,482 2005.......................................................... 1,226,938 Thereafter.................................................... 803,815 Other Credit Facilities At December 31, 2000, in addition to the credit facilities previously described, the Company had credit facilities available to support various international and other operations. At December 31, 2000, the total available under these facilities was $329.8 million of which $138.0 million was unused and available. Amounts unused under these facilities require an annual fee of 0.2% to 0.4% of the unused portion. In addition, the Company had available letters of credit/overdraft agreements in place, renewable annually at the Company's option and the bank's discretion. At December 31, 2000, the Company had $46.1 million available, against which there are outstanding Letters of Credit totaling $29.9 million. The collateral for certain of these agreements consists of a pledge of certain cash balances, in the amount of $25.0 million, which are included in "Restricted Cash" on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial position. At December 31, 2000 the Company had $105.6 million of performance bonds placed with various Airport Authorities, and State Regulatory agencies to support its operations. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2000 that are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates and gasoline prices (see Notes 1 and 27). The following derivative financial instruments agreements have been entered into by the Company: To reduce the risk from interest rate fluctuations under its asset backed debt agreements, the Company has entered into domestic and foreign interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements with maturity dates ranging from July 2003 to May 2010. At December 31, 2000, the domestic and foreign interest rate cap and interest rate floor agreements have notional values of $1 billion and $278 million, respectively. The agreements established the domestic and foreign interest rate ceiling (ranging from 6.08% to 7.5%) and floor (5%) on the asset-backed vehicle financings. The Company was party to thirteen and twenty five interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain outstanding debt obligations. These agreements effectively changed the Company's interest rate exposure on $298 million and $842.2 million of its outstanding debt from variable interest rates to average fixed rates of 4.8% and 5.3% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The variable interest rates for certain of these interest rate swap agreements are either reset daily, monthly, or quarterly based upon various indices, including 30 day commercial paper, 1 month and 3 month LIBOR and 1 month and 3 month Canadian Bankers Acceptances. Interest is cash settled on a net basis for each agreement either monthly, quarterly or semi-annually. The interest rate swap agreements will terminate between February 2001 and April 2005. Under a swap agreement terminating in August 2003, the counterparty has the right to terminate the agreement in August 2001. Under a Swap Agreement terminating in May 2005, the counterparty has the right to terminate the agreement in June 2001. The differential to be paid or received is recognized ratably as interest rates change over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. F-20 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The net interest differential charged (credited) to interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $4,109,000 and ($773,000), respectively. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its interest rate swap agreements. Credit risk is limited by entering into such agreements with institutions with high credit ratings. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate that non-performance by counterparties will occur. Notwithstanding this, the Company monitors counterparty credit ratings at least quarterly through reviewing independent credit agency reports. Both current and potential exposure are evaluated, as necessary, by obtaining replacement cost information from alternative dealers. Potential loss to the Company from credit risk on these agreements is limited to amounts receivable, if any. Depending on market fundamentals of the price of gasoline and other conditions, the Company may purchase put options to reduce or eliminate the risk of gasoline price declines. Put options purchased by the Company effectively establish a minimum sales transaction fee for the volume of gasoline purchased on the Company's programs. An increase in the value of the options is highly correlated to a decrease in the average price of gasoline purchased by the Company's cardholders. Put options permit the Company to participate in price increases above the option price. The cost of an option is charged to operations in the month the options expire. Gains and losses from the sale or exercise of options are recognized when the underlying option is sold. At December 31, 2000, the total contract amount of such options was 26.5 million gallons of gasoline and the unamortized cost of these options was $821,000 and is included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Note 12 - Minority Interest (Preferred Membership Interest) In connection with the issuance of the Vehicle Leasing ABS Facility (see Note 11), the Company has issued two Series 1999-2 Senior Preferred Membership Interests ("PMI's") of which $99.3 million were outstanding at a distribution rate of 6.67% and 6.97% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The PMI's represent an equity interest in one of the Company's domestic vehicle leasing subsidiaries and accordingly, are reported as minority interest (preferred membership interest), on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The holders of the Preferred Membership Interests are entitled to receive dividends based upon the funding costs of the multi-seller commercial paper conduits, plus a program fee of 0.70% per annum. The dividend periods correspond to the same interest periods as the 1999-2 floating rate asset-backed notes. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company accrued approximately $7.2 million and $5.9 million of distributions, respectively, which are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as minority interest. Note 13 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments The net interest receivable and the estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps, caps and floors, swaption agreement and gasoline put options represent assets of approximately $1.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000 (see Notes 1 and 27). At December 31, 1999, the net interest receivable and estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements represent assets of approximately $763 thousand and $15.2 million, respectively. For instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of floating-rate debt approximates carrying value because these instruments re-price frequently at current market prices. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of the Medium Term Notes, Asset Backed Securities and Senior Subordinated Notes exceeds (is less than), the carrying value by approximately $29.1 million and ($27.7) million, respectively. At December 31, 2000 the Company had $389.7 million of preferred stock which approximates fair value. The Company believes that it is not practicable to estimate the current fair value of the amounts due to affiliates, net, because of the related party nature of the instruments (See Note 15).

Series A Preferred Stock In connection with the VMS Acquisition (see Notes 1 and 2), a total of 7,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred") of the Acquisition Subsidiary were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. The Series A Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $360 million or $50 per share (the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). Each share of Series A Preferred accrues dividends at a rate per annum of 5% of the Series A Liquidation Preference, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. Until June 30, 2004, dividends may be paid at the discretion of the Acquisition Subsidiary in shares of Series B Cumulative PIK Preferred Stock (see Series B Preferred Stock below). The Series A Preferred is also entitled to special annual dividends at a rate of 2% of the Series A Liquidation Preference per annum, payable in cash annually on March 15th, in the event that the Acquisition Subsidiary achieves targeted consolidated Earnings Before Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") levels. Upon liquidation, and after payment of all amounts owed to all classes of capital stock ranked senior to the Series A Preferred, holders of shares of Series A Preferred will receive the Series A Liquidation Preference of such shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred may be redeemed by the Acquisition Subsidiary, in whole or in part, on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, June 30, 2004, and must be redeemed in whole upon the eleventh anniversary of the date of issuance for an amount per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In addition, holders of the Series A Preferred may cause the Acquisition Subsidiary to redeem their shares for cash, upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or a change of control with respect to the Company or the Acquisition Subsidiary (see Note 1). The holders of the Series A Preferred may convert shares of Series A Preferred into shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company once specified levels of 12-month consolidated EBITDA of the Acquisition Subsidiary have been reached and the average closing price of Class A Common Stock of the Company for a specified period shall have exceeded a performance conversion price. Such conversion shall be at a rate (the "Performance Conversion Rate") obtained by dividing the per share Series A Liquidation Preference by $50 (as adjusted for antidilution protection, the "Performance Conversion Price"). F-23 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) On or after the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the VMS Acquisition, June 30, 1999, if the share price of the Class A Common Stock of the Company has exceeded an amount equal to 110% of the Performance Conversion Price for 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading days of notice of conversion given by the Acquisition Subsidiary, then the Acquisition Subsidiary has the right to convert all of the shares of the Series A Preferred into Class B Common Stock of the Company at the Performance Conversion Rate. Upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Acquisition Subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries that constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X (a "Significant Subsidiary"), the Series A Preferred automatically converts into Class B Common Stock of the Company at a rate equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (1) the per share Series A Liquidation Preference by (2) the average trading price per share of Class A Common Stock of the Company for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of the holder's conversion notice or the date on which the bankruptcy case commences, as applicable (the "Series A Market Conversion Rate"). The Series A Market Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for antidilution protection. Additionally, holders of Series A Preferred may convert their Series A Preferred into Class B Common Stock of the Company at the Series A Market Conversion Rate if the Acquisition Subsidiary: (1) fails to make a redemption payment on the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred, (2) fails to pay dividends when due on either the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred, (3) takes actions requiring consents of its holders of the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred without obtaining such consents or (4) issues additional shares of the Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, or reissues shares of either, in violation of their terms. Without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, the Acquisition Subsidiary shall not (1) authorize, create or issue any security ranking senior to the Series A Preferred as to dividends or on liquidation (other than the Series C Preferred); (2) amend its articles of incorporation or the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred in a manner adverse to the holders of the Series A Preferred; (3) authorize the issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred; or (4) reincorporate the Acquisition Subsidiary in a jurisdiction other than Texas prior to the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred. Holders of Series A Preferred are not entitled to voting rights, except as required by Texas law. In those circumstances where the holders of Series A Preferred have a right to vote, each holder of a share of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to one vote per share. Shares of Series A Preferred are freely transferable. Shares of Series A Preferred reacquired in any manner will be retired and may not be reissued as shares of Series A Preferred. Series B Preferred Stock Series B Cumulative PIK Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred") will be issued as dividends to the Series A Preferred holders by the Acquisition Subsidiary. Holders of the Series B Preferred are not entitled to preemptive rights. The Series B Preferred has a liquidation preference of $50 per share (the "Series B Liquidation Preference"). Each share of Series B Preferred accrues dividends at a rate per annum of 5% of the Series B Liquidation Preference. Until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred, dividends may, at the discretion of the Acquisition Subsidiary be paid in kind; thereafter, dividends must be paid in cash, semi-annually in arrears. Upon liquidation, and after payment of all amounts owed to all classes of capital stock ranked senior to the Series B Preferred, holders of shares of Series B Preferred will receive the Series B Liquidation Preference of such shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred has the same ranking as the Series A Preferred. The Series B Preferred may be redeemed by the Acquisition Subsidiary, in whole or in part, on or after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, January 30, 2005, and must be redeemed in whole upon the eleventh anniversary of the date of issuance for an amount per share equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Additionally, holders of Series B Preferred may convert their Series B Preferred into Class B Common Stock of the Company at the Series B Market Conversion Rate (defined below) if the Acquisition Subsidiary: (1) fails to make a redemption payment on the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred, (2) fails to pay dividends when due on either the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred, (3) takes actions requiring the consents of the holders of the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred without obtaining such consents or (4) issues additional shares of the Series A Preferred or Series B Preferred, or reissues shares of either, in violation of their terms. The Series B Preferred also automatically converts into Class B Common Stock of the Company at the Series B Market Conversion Rate upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Acquisition Subsidiary or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. F-24 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Series B Market Conversion Rate ("Series B Market Conversion Rate") equals the quotient obtained by dividing : (1) the per share Series B Liquidation Preference by (2) the average trading price per share of the Company's Common Stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of the holder's conversion notice or the date on which the bankruptcy case commences, as applicable. The Market Conversion Rate is subject to customary adjustment under certain circumstances. Holders of Series B Preferred will have voting rights analogous to those of the holders of the Series A Preferred. Shares of Series B Preferred are freely transferable. Shares of Series B Preferred reacquired in any manner will be retired and may not be reissued as shares of Series B Preferred. Series C Preferred Stock In connection with the VMS Acquisition (see Notes 1 and 2), a total of 40,000 shares of Series C Preferred of the Acquisition Subsidiary were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999. Holders of the Series C Preferred are not entitled to preemptive rights. The Series C Preferred has an aggregate liquidation preference of $2,000,000 or $50 per share (the "Series C Liquidation Preference"). Each share of Series C Preferred accrues dividends at 11% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. An escrow account in the amount of $1,000,000, which is included in "Restricted Cash", has been established to cover future dividend payments. Upon liquidation, and after payment of amounts, if any, owed to all classes of capital stock ranked senior to the Series C Preferred, holders of shares of Series C Preferred will receive the Series C Liquidation Preference of such shares plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series C Preferred ranks senior to the Series A Preferred, the Series B Preferred and the Class A Common Stock in right of payment of dividends. The Series C Preferred may be redeemed by the Acquisition Subsidiary, in whole or in part, on or after June 30, 2004, the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, and must be redeemed in whole upon June 30, 2006, the seventh anniversary of the date of issuance, in each case for an amount per share equal to the Series C Liquidation Preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of Series C Preferred are not entitled to voting rights, except under certain circumstances. Without the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, the Acquisition Subsidiary may not take certain specified actions that would adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred. Shares of Series C Preferred reacquired in any manner will be retired and may not be reissued as shares of Series C Preferred. Preferred Stock of the Company In addition, the Company has authorized the issuance of 20 million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 of which none has been issued at December 31, 2000 and 1999. Note 16 - Class B Common Stock At the May 16, 2000 annual meeting, the Company's shareholders voted to amend the Company's charter and authorized the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of non-voting Class B Common stock ($.01 par value), to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred stock of the acquisition subsidiary. The Class B Common stock will rank (1) junior to any class or series of preferred stock of the Company and (2) pari passu with the Class A Common stock in right of payment of dividends and on liquidation. At any time that the beneficial ownership by Cendant, together with any affiliate of Cendant (Cendant and such affiliates, the "Cendant Affiliates"), of the Class A Common stock is less than 20% of the aggregate number of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common stock, the Cendant Affiliates shall have the right to convert shares of Class B Common stock into Class A Common stock on a share-for-share basis in an amount such that the ownership by the Cendant Affiliates of the Class A Common stock does not exceed 20% of the aggregate number of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common stock after giving effect to such conversion. The Cendant Affiliates shall have the right to convert the Class B Common stock into shares of Class A Common stock on a share-for-share basis upon the occurrence of: (1) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company and (2) a Preferred Stock Change of Control, other than any Preferred Stock Change of Control that is caused solely by the sale by the Cendant Affiliates of its shares of Class A Common stock or Class B Common stock. F-25 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Upon the transfer, sale or disposition for value to any person other than the Cendant Affiliates, each share of Class B Common stock shall be automatically exchanged for the Class A Common stock on a share-for-share basis. Other than upon conversion of the Series A Preferred or the Series B Preferred, no additional shares of Class B Common stock may be issued. Shares of Class B Common stock shall be freely transferable. Shares of Class B Common stock reacquired in any manner shall be retired and may not be reissued as shares of Class B Common stock. In connection with the VMS Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which Cendant and certain transferees of Class B Common stock and Class A Common stock converted from the Class B Common stock held by Cendant (the "Holders") will have the right to require the Company to register all or part of the Class A Common stock owned by such Holders under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") (an "Acquisition Demand Registration"). However, the Company may postpone giving effect to an Acquisition Demand Registration for a period of up to 30 days if the Company believes such registration might have a material adverse effect on any plan or proposal by the Company with respect to any financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction or the Company is in possession of material non-public information that, if publicly disclosed, could result in a material disruption of a major corporate development or transaction then pending or in progress or in other material adverse consequences to the Company. In addition, the Holders have the right to participate in any registrations by the Company of Class A Common stock (an "Acquisition Piggyback Registration"). The Holders will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Acquisition Registration, and the Company will pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any Acquisition Demand Piggyback Registration, except for underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses attributable to the shares of Class A Common stock sold by such holders.

On September 1, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of the outstanding common stock at market prices. On September 23, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to 3.5 million additional shares of outstanding common stock. Of the total treasury shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 1999, 1,614,200 shares were repurchased from Cendant at an aggregate cost of $40.8 million. No shares were repurchased from Cendant during the year ended December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the acquisition of these treasury shares reduced Cendant's ownership in the Company's common stock to approximately 18%. (See Notes 1, 2 and 25.) Note 18 - Retirement Benefits The Company, through its subsidiary ARACS, sponsors non-contributory defined benefit plans covering certain employees hired prior to December 31, 1983 who were age 25 or older on January 1, 1985. ARACS also contributes to union sponsored pension plans. Through ARACS, the Company sponsors two Voluntary Investment Savings Plans under a "qualified cash or deferred arrangement" under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering its union and non-union employees. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company's cost of these plans was $3.6 million, $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. F-26 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Included in the non-union Investment Savings Plan, ARACS makes a defined contribution for full-time employees. The contribution was set at 2% of each covered employee's compensation through December 31, 1998 and was increased to 3% of each covered employee's compensation effective January 1, 1999. Employer contributions for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $7.2 million, $5.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. ARACS' defined benefit retirement plan for salaried and hourly employees as of June 30, 1985, provides benefits based upon years of credited service, highest average compensation and social security benefits. Annual retirement benefits, at age 65, are equal to 1 1/2% of the participating employee's final average compensation (average compensation during the highest five consecutive years of employment in the ten years prior to retirement) less 1 1/2% of the Social Security benefits for each year of service up to a maximum of 35 years. In addition, the plan provides for reduced benefits before age 65 and for a joint and survivor annuity option. Effective January 1, 1999, the Company curtailed its defined benefit retirement plan for salaried and hourly employees as of June 30, 1985. The Company recognized a $7.5 million pre-tax gain as a result of the curtailment during the first quarter of fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The Company also sponsors several foreign pension plans. The most significant of these are the Canadian and United Kingdom defined benefit plans (see Notes 1 and 3). The status of the Company's defined benefit plans at December 31, 2000 and 1999, including the plans to its salaried and hourly employees as of June 1985, the Bargaining Plan, the Non-Qualified Defined Benefit Plan, the Motorent Plan (terminated on September 30, 1999) the United Kingdom Plan (in 1999, see Note 3) and the Canadian Defined Benefit Plan are as follows (in thousands):

Note 20 - Stock Option Plan The Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Incentive Compensation Plan ("the Stock Option Plans"). The Company's shareholders approved these Stock Option Plans in September 23, 1997 and May 16, 2000, respectively. The maximum shares authorized for issuance under the Stock Option Plans are 9 million. F-28 AVIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The exercise price of each option under the Stock Option Plans may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Options held by an optionee vest evenly over 5 years (1997 Stock Option Plan) and 3 years (2000 Stock Option Plan). All options held by an optionee will become fully exercisable (to the extent not already exercisable) if a "change of control transaction" (as defined in the Stock Option Plans) occurs (see Notes 1 and 27 - Merger Agreement). Shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of the options may be subject to restrictions on transfer which will be set forth in the agreement evidencing the grant of the option. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, all options granted under the Stock Option Plans, to the extent not exercised, expire on the earliest of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, (ii) two years following the optionee's termination of employment on account of death, retirement, disability or (iii) one year following the termination of optionee's employment for any other reason. Grants of options under the Stock Option Plans are subject to an annual per-participant maximum grant of shares of Common Stock. Generally, the Board of Directors of the Company may amend or terminate the Stock Option Plans, provided that (i) no such amendment or termination may adversely affect the rights of any participant without the consent of such participant and (ii) to the extent required by any law, regulation or stock exchange rule. No amendment shall be effective without the approval of the Company's stockholders. The Company makes no recognition of the options in the financial statements until they are exercised. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its plans and does not recognize compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions only of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). The following is a summary of stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Management believes that all the stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2000 will be exercised on March 1, 2001 as provided in the Cendant Merger Agreement, and therefore, the expected remaining option life of outstanding options at December 31, 2000 is estimated to be 3 months (see Notes 1 and 27). Pro forma disclosures are provided for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 as if the Company adopted the cost recognition requirements under SFAS 123.

Note 22 - Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements The Company issued and sold the Senior Subordinated Notes (see Note 11). These securities were subsequently registered on September 24, 1999. The Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries. Accordingly, the following condensed consolidating financial information presents the condensed consolidating financial statements as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of: (a) Avis Group Holdings, Inc.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the consolidating presentation. The principle elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to the subsidiary guarantors have not been made because management believes that such information is not material to holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes.
