INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Delaware

AB Car Rental Services, Inc., Avis Finance, Avis Budget Group, Inc., Avis Caribbean, Limited, Avis Enterprises, Inc., Avis International, Ltd., BGI Leasing, Inc., Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., PF Claims Management, Ltd., PR Holdco, Inc., Wizard Co., Inc. and Wizard Services, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act provides that a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of such corporation, and, with respect to any criminal actions and proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation. Where an officer or director of a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

The Limited Liability Company Agreements of each of ARACS LLC, ABCR, Avis Budget Holdings, Avis Car Rental Group, LLC, Avis Group Holdings, LLC, Avis Operations, LLC, Avis Rent A Car System, LLC, Budget Truck Rental LLC and Runabout, LLC provide, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, for the indemnification of any member, manager, officer or employee of the companies from and against any and all claims and demands arising by reason of the fact that such person is, or was, a member, manager, officer or employee of the companies.

The Bylaws of Avis Finance, AB Car Rental Services, Inc., Avis Asia and Pacific, Limited, Avis Budget Group, Inc., Avis Caribbean, Limited, Avis Enterprises, Inc., Avis International, Ltd., BGI Leasing, Inc., Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., PF Claims Management, Ltd., PR Holdco, Inc., Wizard Co., Inc. and Wizard Services, Inc. provide for the indemnification of all current and former directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Certificate of Incorporation of BGI Leasing, Inc. provides for the indemnification of all directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Registrants also maintain, at their expense, policies of insurance which insure their respective directors and officers, subject to exclusions and deductions as are usual in these kinds of insurance policies, against specified liabilities which may be incurred in those capacities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(e) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will each be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

 

II-19


(f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(g) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), or 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(h) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as legal counsel to Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ABCR”), Avis Budget Finance, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Avis Finance” and collectively with ABCR, the “Issuers”), AB Car Rental Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AB Car Rental Services”), ARACS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ARACS”), Avis Asia and Pacific, Limited, a Delaware corporation (“Avis Asia and Pacific”), Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Avis Budget Group”), Avis Budget Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), Avis Car Rental Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avis Car Rental Group”), Avis Caribbean, Limited, a Delaware corporation (“Avis Caribbean”), Avis Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Avis Enterprises”), Avis Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avis Group Holdings”), Avis International, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Avis International”), Avis Operations, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avis Operations”), Avis Rent A Car System, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avis Rent A Car System”), BGI Leasing, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BGI Leasing”), Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Budget Rent A Car System”), Budget Truck Rental LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Budget Truck Rental”), PF Claims Management, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“PF Claims”), PR Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PR Holdco”), Runabout, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Runabout”), Wizard Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wizard Co.”), and Wizard Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wizard Services” and collectively with AB Car Rental Services, ARACS, Avis Asia and Pacific, Avis Budget Group, Holdings, Avis Car Rental Group, Avis Caribbean, Avis Enterprises, Avis Group Holdings, Avis International, Avis Operations, Avis Rent A Car System, BGI Leasing, Budget Rent A Car System, Budget Truck Rental, PF Claims, PF Holdco, Runabout and Wizard Co., the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor” and together with the Issuers, the “Registrants”). This opinion letter is being delivered in connection with the proposed registration by the Issuers of $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Exchange Notes”), to be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by the Guarantors, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about November 19, 2010. Such Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 15, 2010 (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Exchange Notes are to be issued in exchange for and in replacement of the Issuers’ 8.25% Senior Notes due 2019 issued on October 15, 2010 and November 18, 2010 (the “Old Notes”), of which $600,000,000 in aggregate principal amount is outstanding and is subject to the exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Statement.

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) the articles of incorporation, bylaws and operating agreements of the Issuers and the Guarantors, (ii) resolutions of the Issuers and the Guarantors with respect to the issuance of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees, (iii) the Indenture, (iv) the Registration Statement, (v) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as October 15, 2010, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Banc of America Securities LLC, for itself and on behalf of the other initial purchasers of the Old Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (vi) the Amendment, dated as of November 18, 2010, to the Registration Rights Agreement, and (vii) forms of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees.


For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Issuers and the Guarantors, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Issuers and the Guarantors. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors.

Our opinion expressed below is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principals of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) public policy considerations that may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that when (i) the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and (iii) the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and duly delivered to holders of the Old Notes in exchange for the Old Notes and the guarantees related thereto, the Exchange Notes will be validly issued and binding obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantees will be validly issued and binding obligations of the Guarantors.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal law of the State of New York and Delaware corporate law and represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction which enacted such law. The manner in which any particular issue relating to the opinions would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case and would also depend on how the court involved chose to exercise the wide discretionary authority generally available to it. None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers any foreign or state securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations.

This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion.

We have also assumed that the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the performance by the Issuers and the Guarantors of their obligations thereunder do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which any Registrant is bound, except those agreements and instruments that have been identified by the Issuers and the Guarantors as being material to them and that have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Yours very truly,
/s/ Kirkland & Ellis LLP
KIRKLAND & ELLIS LLP
