Background 
Alamo Rent-A-Car started in 1974 with four locations in Florida and          quickly became one of the
country's largest vacation rental providers with programs to accommodate and encourage leisure 
travel. The company currently operates 65+ U.S. locations, including locations at/around the Sea-Tac 
International Airport. 
In 2007, Alamo along with National Car Rental, was acquired by privately held Enterprise                                            (EAN)
Holdings which owns and operates the Alamo brand in North America. With annual revenues of $14 
billion, EAN is the largest and most comprehensive car rental service provider in the world measured
by revenue, employees and fleet. 
The terms of the agreement provide for a Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) shall be less than of (i) 
80% of the total amount paid to the Port in the previous agreement year or the MAG set forth of the
first Agreement, whichever is greater, or (ii) 10% of Concessionaire's Gross Revenues for the
Agreement Year commencing November 1, 2008 and ending October 31, 2009. Additionally, the
agreement requires a Percentage Fee equal to 10% of gross revenues, provided the fee is higher
than the monthly MAG payment. 
The following are the only agreed-upon deductions allowed in the agreement: 
a.   Any tax imposed or collected on behalf of a taxing authority 
b.   Any amounts received as insurance proceeds or for damage to vehicles or other property, 
or for loss, conversion or abandonment of such vehicles 
c.   The wholesale transfer of salvage vehicles 
d.   All non-revenue rentals to employees 
e.   Fees paid to other governmental agencies (excluding the Port), relating to transactions at
the Airport 
The MAG is payable in advance, on or before the first day of each month, without notice from the
Port. The percentage fee, if applicable, is due on or before the 20th of the following month. For
untimely payments, the agreement provides for a one-time late fee of 5% of the overdue amount and
interest to be accrued at the rate of 18% per year from the due date until paid. 
Below are the financial Highlights for the last three fiscal years: 
Fiscal        Reported           Paid 
Year      Gross Revenue      Concession 
2008 - 2009*       $23,765,153       $4,057,922 
2009 - 2010        24,124,032       2,412,403

Audit Scope and Methodology 
We conducted the audit to determine whether the parties   were in compliance with the lease
agreement terms including, but not limited to, proper concession and         CFC payments. We utilized a
risk-based audit approach from planning to test sampling. We gathered information through document 
requests, interviews, observation and analytical reviews. We obtain a complete understanding the 
financial requirements of the Agreement between the Port of Seattle and Avis. We applied additional 
detailed audit procedures to areas with the highest likelihood of significant negative impact as follows: 
a. Timely Payment                       e. CPA Certified Annual Report 
b. Insurance Liability                         f. Concession Revenue 
c. Surety Bond/Security Deposit                g. Customer Facility Charge (CFC)
d. Minimum Annual Guarantee (MAG) 
a)  Timely Payment 
We reviewed payment records to determine whether the lessee complied with the required due
date. 
b)  Insurance Liability 
We reconciled insurance requirements to the coverage reflected in the certificate of insurance in
force for the audit period to current. 
c)  Surety Bond/Security Deposit 
We determined whether the surety bond amount complied with the requirements stipulated in the
agreement. 
d)  Minimum Annual Guarantee 
We determined whether MAG was properly calculated and Port management obtained Port
Commission approval for Exception Relief to MAG. 
e)  CPA Certified Annual Report 
We reviewed audit reports for the audit period to determine compliance with the timely and
complete submission of the report. 
f)   Concession Revenue 
We interviewed Alamo Personnel about their policies, procedures, and internal control over cash
receipts, sales, accounting, and reporting. 
The Daily and Business Report (DBR), which is the general ledger, shows the monthly detail per
revenue category. The  Revenue Report shows the monthly total summarized by revenue
category. We reconciled the DBR to the CPA report to the Revenue Report.

To determine whether the lessee completely reported all concession revenues, we selected                           a
sample of 86 closed rental agreements deemed high-risk for the audit period.               We determined
whether the revenue reported on each rental agreement agreed to the amount posted to the DBR. 
g)  Customer Facility Charges 
We reconciled the CFC  amount reported in the DBR to each rental agreement in the risk-based
sample of closed rental transactions to ensure proper                      calculation of the CFC, timely collection,
and complete remittance of CFC to the Port, as required in the agreement. 
Conclusion 
Alamo Car Rental (US), Inc. materially complied with the terms of the Lease and Concession
agreement.
