PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Ryder System, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in Florida in 1955.
Through its subsidiaries, the Company engages primarily in the following
businesses: 1) full service leasing and short-term rental of trucks, tractors
and trailers; 2) dedicated logistics services; 3) public transit management and
student transportation; and 4) transportation by truck of automobiles and light
trucks. On December 7, 1993, the Company spun off its Aviall, Inc. aviation
services subsidiary to the Company's shareholders. After the Aviall, Inc.
spin-off, the Company's main operating segments are Vehicle Leasing & Services
and Automotive Carriers. General Motors Corporation ("GM") is the largest
single customer of the Company, accounting for approximately 11%, 12%, and 13%
of consolidated revenue of the Company in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
At December 31, 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries had a fleet of 168,278
vehicles and 37,949 employees.(1)
Segment Information
Financial information about industry segments is incorporated by reference from
the table "Selected Financial and Operational Data" on page 29, and "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements - Segment Information" on page 42, of the
Ryder System, Inc. 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.
Vehicle Leasing & Services
The Vehicle Leasing & Services Division, comprising Ryder Truck Rental, Inc.
("RTR"), Ryder Dedicated Logistics, Inc., and various other companies, engages
in a variety of highway transportation services including full service truck
leasing, dedicated logistics services, commercial and consumer truck rental,
truck maintenance, student transportation and public transit management,
operations and maintenance.
As of December 31, 1993, the Vehicle Leasing & Services Division had 158,374
vehicles and 32,257 employees, excluding reimbursed public transit and leased
personnel. Full service truck leasing was provided to 11,180 customers
(ranging from small companies to large national enterprises), with a fleet of
78,544 vehicles (including 7,592 vehicles leased to affiliates), through 914
locations in 48 states and 8 Canadian provinces. Under full service leases,
RTR (as Ryder Commercial Leasing & Services) provides customers with the
vehicles, maintenance, supplies and equipment necessary for operation, while
the customers furnish drivers and dispatch and exercise control over the
vehicles. A fleet of 67,016 vehicles, ranging from heavy-duty tractors and
trailers to light trucks, is available for short-term rental from over 4,650
Division locations and independent dealers in 48 states and Canada. Short-term
truck rental, which tends to be seasonal, is used by commercial customers to
supplement their fleets during peak business seasons. Additionally, RTR (as
Ryder Consumer Truck Rental) serves the short-term consumer truck rental
market, which also tends to be seasonal and is principally used by consumers
for moving household goods. At December 31, 1993, RTR was servicing 27,067
vehicles (including 7,611 vehicles of affiliates) under Ryder Programmed
Maintenance, which provides essentially the same maintenance services for
customer-owned vehicles as are provided through full service truck leasing.
________________________
(1) In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company manage
the operating personnel of local transit authorities. In such
situations, the entire cost of compensation and benefits for
such personnel is passed through to the transit authority, which
reimburses the Company's subsidiaries. Additionally, certain
subsidiaries of the Company obtain drivers under driver
leasing agreements for some of their operations.

<PAGE> 6
Through Ryder Dedicated Logistics ("RDL"), the Division offers
customer-tailored industrial and consumer product distribution and logistics
services from 440 locations in the U.S. and Canada. Services include varying
combinations of logistics system design, provision of vehicles and equipment,
maintenance, provision of drivers, warehouse management, transportation
management and information systems support. Logistics systems range from
metropolitan shuttles to interstate long-haul operations, and from just-in-time
assembly plant service to factory-to-warehouse-to-retail facility service.
These services are employed in the automotive industry (RDL specializes in
inbound and aftermarket parts delivery for customers such as GM (including
Saturn), Chrysler Corporation ("Chrysler"), Toyota Motor Manufacturing USA Inc.
("Toyota"), Ford Motor Company and auto parts retailers), and in the paper and
paper packaging, chemical, electronic and office equipment, news, food and
beverage, housing, general retail and other industries.
The Division has historically disposed of its used and surplus revenue earning
equipment at prices in excess of book value. The Division reported gains on
the sale of revenue earning equipment (reported as reductions in depreciation
expense) of approximately 16%, 12% and 5% of the Division's earnings before
interest and taxes in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The extent to which
the Division may consistently continue to realize gains on disposal of its
revenue earning equipment is dependent upon various factors including the
general state of the used vehicle market, the condition and utilization of the
Division's fleet and depreciation policies with respect to its vehicles.
During 1993, the Division continued to expand its presence in the public
transportation management, operations and maintenance and student
transportation markets through internal growth. The Division now manages or
operates 88 public transit systems with 4,860 vehicles in 28 states, operates
7,140 school buses in 19 states, maintains about 16,000 public transit or fleet
vehicles in 15 states and provides public transportation management consulting
services.
International
In the first quarter of 1993 the Company established an International Division
to develop and implement a strategy for growth in international markets of the
Company's highway transportation services business and to manage operations of
the Company's highway transportation services outside the United States and
Canada. The Company's previously existing lease, rental, maintenance and
logistics operations in the United Kingdom and Germany have become a part of
the new International Division. As of December 31, 1993, the International
Division had 6,997 vehicles, 1,697 employees, and provided service through 65
locations in the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland. (For financial reporting
purposes, the International Division's results are included with those of the
Vehicle Leasing & Services Division).
Automotive Carriers
The Company's Automotive Carrier Division transports new automobiles and trucks
to dealers and to and from distribution points throughout the United States and
several Canadian provinces for GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and most other
automobile and light truck manufacturers. GM remains the Division's largest
customer, accounting for 54%, 57% and 63% of the Division's revenue in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively. The GM carriage contracts are typically subject
to cancellation upon 30 days' notice by either party. The business is
primarily dependent on the level of North American production, importation and
sales by GM and various other manufacturers. Consequently, the business is
adversely affected by any significant reductions in or prolonged curtailments
of production by customers because of market conditions, strikes or otherwise.
As of December 31, 1993, the Automotive Carrier Division had 4,636 auto
transport vehicles, 5,294 employees (exclusive of leased drivers), and provided
service through 89 locations in 37 states and 2 Canadian provinces. Most of
the Division's employees are covered by an industry-wide collective bargaining
agreement, the term of which ends in May 1995.

<PAGE> 7
Competition
The Vehicle Leasing & Services Division's customers may finance lease or
purchase their own vehicles and provide maintenance services for themselves
substantially similar to those offered by the Division, or purchase such
services from others, or obtain transportation services from other common or
contract carriers. The Division also competes with other companies conducting
nationwide truck leasing, rental or bus operations, a large number of regional
truck leasing companies with multiple branches, many smaller companies
operating primarily on a local basis but frequently with nationwide service and
maintenance capabilities due to participation in cooperative programs and
membership in various associations, and both local and nationwide common and
contract carriers. Competition in the truck leasing business is based on a
number of factors which include price, equipment, maintenance and geographical
coverage. The Division also competes, to an extent, with a number of trailer
and vehicle manufacturers who have entered the field of trailer and vehicle
leasing, extended warranty maintenance, rental and other forms of
transportation services.
The carriage and dedicated logistics operations of the Vehicle Leasing &
Services Division and the Automotive Carrier Division are subject to potential
competition in most of the regions they serve from railroads and motor carriers
providing similar services, and from customers insofar as they may own or lease
equipment and provide the services for themselves.
A growing number of U.S. school districts now have the option of contracting
with private operators for student transportation services. In areas where
private contractors are utilized, the market is fragmented and competitive.
Even where private operators are being utilized, school districts still may
have the option of performing student transportation services themselves.
Public transit agencies generally have the option of contracting with private
operators for public transportation services or providing such services
themselves. The market for most types of public transportation services is
fragmented and competitive.
In the United Kingdom, both truck leasing and dedicated logistics are well
developed and competitive markets, similar to those in the U.S. and Canada.
Value-added differentiation of the Company's service offerings continues to be
the Company's strategy in those markets. With the recent developments in
Mexico relating to the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement,
Germany's continued integration into the European Community and Poland's
transformation to a market economy, the Company's ability to provide services
in these new markets is only now emerging. It is anticipated, however, that
competition with the Company's services in these emerging markets will develop.
Other Developments and Further Information
Many Federal, state and local laws designed to protect the environment, and
similar laws in some foreign jurisdictions, have varying degrees of impact on
the way the Company and its subsidiaries conduct their business operations,
primarily with regard to their use, storage and disposal of petroleum products.
Compliance with these laws and with the Company's environmental protection
policies involves the expenditure of considerable amounts of money and
management expects that such expenditures will increase in the near-term.
Based on information presently available, management believes that the ultimate
disposition of such matters, although potentially material to the Company's
results of operations in any one year, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition or liquidity.
For further discussion concerning the business of the registrant and its
subsidiaries see the information referenced under Items 7 and 8 of this report.

designated by the Board of Directors, at which meeting, in accordance with the
Restated Articles of Incorporation and these By-Laws, the stockholders shall
elect members of the Board of Directors and transact such other business as
lawfully may come before it.
b. Special Meetings
(1) Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the
holders of not less than one-tenth of all the shares outstanding and entitled
to vote at such meeting or by the Board of Directors; and such meetings shall
be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Florida, as may
be designated by the Board of Directors.
(2) Before a stockholder may request or demand that a special
meeting of the stockholders be held for any purpose, the following procedure
must be satisfied:
(A) Any stockholder seeking to request or demand, or
to have the stockholders request or demand, a special meeting shall first, by
written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request the Board of
Directors to fix a record date, pursuant to Section 3.b. of Article V of these
By-Laws, for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to request
the special meeting. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events
within 10 days after the date upon which such a request is received, fix such a
record date. Every request to fix a record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to request a special meeting shall be in writing and
shall set forth the purpose or purposes for which the special meeting is
requested, the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation's books, of
each stockholder making the request and the class and number of shares of the
Corporation which are owned of record by each such stockholder, and shall bear
the signature and date of signature of each such stockholder.
In the event of the delivery to the Corporation
of any request(s) or demand(s) by stockholders with respect to a special
meeting, and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall
engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections for the
purpose of performing a prompt ministerial review of the validity of the
request(s), demand(s) and/or revocation(s).
(B) No request or demand with respect to calling a
special meeting of stockholders shall constitute a valid and effective
stockholder request or demand for a special meeting (i) unless (A) within 60
days of the record date established in accordance with subsection b(2)(A) of
this Section, written requests or demands signed by stockholders of record
representing a sufficient number of shares as of such record date to request or
demand a special
2
<PAGE> 5
meeting pursuant to subsection b(1) of this Section are delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation and (B) each request or demand is made in
accordance with and contains the information required by Section 5.b(2) of
this Article IV and (ii) until such date as the independent inspectors
engaged in accordance with this subsection b(2) certify to the Corporation
that the requests or demands delivered to the Corporation in accordance
with clause (i) of this subsection b(2)(B) represent at least the minimum
number of shares that would be necessary to request such a meeting pursuant
to subsection b(1) of this Section.
(3) If the Corporation determines that a stockholder
or stockholders have satisfied the notice, information and other
requirements specified in subsection b(2)(B)(i) of this Section, then the
Board of Directors shall adopt a resolution calling a special meeting of
the stockholders and fixing a record date, pursuant to Section 3.b. of
Article V, for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at such special meeting. Notice of such special
meeting shall be provided in accordance with Section 1.c. of this Article
IV, provided that such notice shall be given within 60 days (or such longer
period as from time to time may be permitted by law) after the date the
request(s) or demand(s) for such special meeting is(are) delivered to the
Corporation in accordance with subsection b(2)(B)(i) of this Section.
(4) In fixing a meeting date for the special meeting
of stockholders, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it
deems relevant within the good faith exercise of its business judgment,
including, without limitation, the nature of the action proposed to be
taken, the facts and circumstances surrounding the request, and any plan of
the Board of Directors to call a special or annual meeting of stockholders
for the conduct of related business, provided that such meeting date shall
be within 120 days (or such longer period as may from time to time be
permitted by law) after the date the request(s) or demand(s) for such
special meeting is(are) delivered to the Corporation in accordance with
subsection b(2)(B)(i) of this Section.
(5) Nothing contained in this Section 1.b. shall in
any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any
stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request or
demand or revocation thereof, or to take any other action (including,
without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any
litigation with respect thereto).
c. Notice of Meetings
Except as otherwise permitted by law, notice of all
meetings of stockholders stating the time and place, and, in the case of
special meetings, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called,
shall be given by mailing the same to each stockholder entitled to vote not
less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date set for such
meeting. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States mail addressed to the stockholder at his address as it
appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage
thereon prepaid.
d. Preparation of Voting List of Stockholders
The Secretary shall prepare and make, or cause to be
prepared and made, at least ten days before each meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote

<PAGE> 6
at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, with the address of and the number
and class and series, if any, of shares held by each stockholder as such
information appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Such list
shall be kept on file at the principal place of business of the Corporation,
shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during normal business
hours for said ten day period upon receipt by the Secretary of a written
request to make such an examination, and shall be produced and kept at the time
and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof subject to the
inspection of any stockholder who may be present.
Section 2. Quorum and Vote of Stockholders
The holders of a majority of the voting power of the total number of shares
outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy
thereat, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders for the
transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Restated
Articles of Incorporation. If, however, a quorum does not exist at a meeting,
the holders of a majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to
vote at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice
other than by announcement at the meeting, until holders of the requisite
number of shares entitled to vote shall be present. Except as otherwise
required by law, at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum exists, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally noticed. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may
continue to transact business in accordance with these By-Laws until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave
less than a quorum.
If a quorum is present, action on a matter (including the election of
directors) shall be approved by the stockholders of the Corporation if the
matter receives the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power of the total number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote on such
matter, unless the matter is one upon which, by express provision of law a
greater vote is required or from time to time permitted by action of the Board
of Directors, or by the Restated Articles of Incorporation or these By-Laws a
greater or different vote is required, in any which case such express provision
shall govern and control the requisite vote requirement.
Section 3. Voting by Stockholders
Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting may do so in person or by
proxy appointed by instrument in writing, subscribed by such stockholder or his
duly authorized attorney-in-fact and filed with the Secretary or the tabulator
of the vote before or at the time of the meeting.
Section 4. Stockholder Action
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the
Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such
holders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders.

ARTICLE V
Directors
Section 1. Board of Directors
a. Number, election and terms
Except as otherwise fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of
Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation relating to the rights of
the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect additional directors under
specified circumstances, the number of the Directors of the Corporation shall
be 13, but such number may be fixed from time to time at not less than three
nor more than 21 by resolution of the Board of Directors. The Directors, other
than those who may be elected by the holders of any class or series of stock
having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation,
shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold
office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. Such
classes shall originally consist of one class of four Directors who shall be
elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 1984 for a term expiring
at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1985; a second class of
three Directors who shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held
in 1984 for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in
1986; and a third class of four Directors who shall be elected at the annual
meeting of stockholders held in 1984 for a term expiring at the annual meeting
of stockholders to be held in 1987. The Board of Directors shall increase or
decrease the number of Directors in one or
6
<PAGE> 9
more classes as may be appropriate whenever it increases or decreases the
number of Directors pursuant to this Article V, in order to ensure that the
three classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. At each
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the successors of
the class of Directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected
to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
held in the third year following the year of their election.
b. Stockholder nomination of director candidates
Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election
of Directors shall be given in the manner provided in Section 2 of this
Article V.
c. Newly created directorships and vacancies
Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant
to the provisions of Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation
relating to the rights of the holders of any class or series of stock
having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, newly created
directorships resulting from any increase in the number of Directors and
any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation,
disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even though
less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any Director elected in
accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next
election of directors by the stockholders and until such Director's
successor shall have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the number
of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of
any incumbent Director.
d. Removal
Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock
having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect Directors under specified circumstances, any Director
may be removed from office, with or without cause, only by the affirmative
vote of the holders of 75% the combined voting power of the then
outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
Directors, voting together as a single class.
Section 2. Notification of Nominations
Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of stock
having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the
Board of Directors or a proxy committee appointed by the Board of Directors
or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors
generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of
directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as
directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent
to make such nomination or nominations has been given, either by personal
delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the
Corporation not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an
annual meeting of stockholders, 60 days in advance of such meeting, and
(ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of
stockholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the
seventh day following the date on which
7
<PAGE> 10
notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Each such notice shall
set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the
nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation
that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled
to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (c) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and
each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons)
pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the
stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, had the
nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors;

if so elected. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the
nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

purpose, nor less than ten days (or such shorter period as may from time to
time be permitted by law) prior to the date of any meeting of stockholders, as
a record date for the determination of the stockholders; and in such case only
such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall
be considered stockholders for purposes of such determination, notwithstanding
any transfer of stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record
date fixed as aforesaid.
Except as otherwise provided by law, unless the Board of Directors
fixes a new record date for any adjourned meeting of stockholders, the record
date originally fixed pursuant to this Section 3.b. of Article V for such
meeting shall remain the record date for such meeting.
The Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors
authorized to fix record dates and declare dividends shall fix in advance a

Restated Articles of Incorporation, as may from time to time be permitted by
law) preceding the date of any Preferred Stock dividend payment date as a
record date for the determination of the stockholders of such Preferred Stock;
and in such case, only such stockholders as shall be holders of record of such
Preferred Stock on the date so fixed shall be considered stockholders of the
Preferred Stock for purposes of such determination,

The Board of Directors may designate one or more
committees, consisting of at least two directors each, to perform such
duties as may be determined by the Board. The number of directors
composing each such committee and the powers conferred upon each such

In the event that the Board of Directors shall designate a

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors, or any
committee thereof, shall be held at any time or place, within or without
the State of Florida, as the Board, or such committee, may from time to
time determine; and if so determined, no notice thereof need be given.
After each election of directors, the Board, including the
newly elected directors, shall meet without notice for the purpose of
electing officers and transacting such other business as lawfully may come
before it.
b. Special Meetings
Special meetings of the Board of Directors, or any
committee thereof, may be held at any time or place, within or without the

Notice of special meetings of the Board, or any committee
thereof, stating the time and place, shall be given by mailing the same to
each director or committee member, as appropriate, at his residence or
business address at least two days before the meeting, or by delivering the
same to him personally or by telephoning or telegraphing the same to him at

Such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing,
telephoning or telegraphing as the case may be.

<PAGE> 12

not present at the time of the adjournment, and to the other directors.
d. Telephonic Participation at Meetings
Members of the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of
the Board, or any committee thereof, by means of a conference telephone or
similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in
the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means
shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes.
e. Action Without a Meeting
Any action of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof,
which is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting, may be taken without a
meeting if written consent to the action signed by all the members of the Board
or of the committee, as the case may be, is filed in the minutes of the
proceedings of the Board or of the committee.
Section 5. Quorum of Directors
A majority of the number of directors fixed in accordance with Section 1 of
this Article V shall constitute a quorum of the Board for the transaction of
business, and one-half of the members of any committee shall constitute a
quorum of such committee; but a smaller number may adjourn any meeting until a
quorum is present.
When a quorum is present at any meeting of directors, a majority of the
members present shall decide any question brought before such meeting, except
as otherwise provided by law, the Restated Articles of Incorporation, or these
By-Laws.
Section 6. Compensation of Directors
Directors shall receive such compensation, including reimbursement of
expenses, for serving as members of the Board of Directors and for attendance
at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and members of committees of the
Board of Directors shall receive such compensation, including reimbursement of

Section 7.
Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions
of Article III of the Restated Articles of Incorporation relating to the rights
of holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common
Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors under specified
circumstances, the majority of persons elected to the Board of Directors shall
consist of persons who are independent directors. For purposes of this Article
V, an "independent director" shall mean a director who: (i) has not been
employed by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation in an
executive capacity within the past five years; (ii) does
10
<PAGE> 13
not have, and is not affiliated with a company, firm or institution that

through stock ownership or customary directors' fees); (iii) does not have
a personal services contract with the Corporation or any subsidiary of the
Corporation and (iv) is not a familial relative of any person described in
(i) through (iii). Should the death, resignation, disqualification or
removal of any director result in the failure of the requirement set forth
in the preceding sentence to be met, such requirement shall not apply
during the term of the vacancy caused by such death, resignation,
disqualification or removal, and the remaining directors shall cause any
such vacancy to be filled in accordance with Subsection 1(c) of this
Article V within a reasonable period of time.
The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive right and power to
interpret and apply the provisions of this Article V relating to
independent directors and shall be entitled to rely upon the completeness
and accuracy of director's responses to written questionnaires circulated
for the purpose of enabling the Board of Directors to make the
determinations of independence required by this Article V.
Information regarding a nominee for director provided by a
stockholder pursuant to Section 2 of this Article V shall include such

informed determination as to whether such nominee, if elected, would be an
"independent director" as defined in this Section.

Section 1. Stock Certificates
Except as otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors or the
Restated Articles of Incorporation or as permitted by law, every holder of
stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, representing
all shares to which he is entitled, in such form as may be prescribed by the
Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of law. Such Certificates
shall be signed by the President and by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary; provided, however, that where any such certificate is signed by a
party other than an officer of the Corporation, such as a transfer agent or

or Assistant Secretary may be facsimiles. All certificates shall be
counter-signed and registered in such manner as the Board of Directors from

14
<PAGE> 17
prescribe, and there shall be impressed thereon the seal of the Corporation
or imprinted thereon a facsimile of such seal.
In case any officer who signed or whose facsimile signature has

the person appearing on the certificate to be the owner of the shares
represented thereby; and such shares shall be transferable on the books of
the Corporation upon surrender thereof so assigned or endorsed. In the
case of a series of Preferred Stock, shares of Preferred Stock may be
transferred by delivery of the stock certificate, as described above, or by
such other method as may be set forth in a statement of resolution
establishing such series of Preferred Stock. The person registered on the
books of the Corporation as the owner of any shares of stock shall be
deemed by the Corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes
exclusively and shall be entitled as the owner of such shares, to receive
dividends and to vote as such owner with respect thereto.
Section 3. Treasury Stock

purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation after the issuance

dividends or allotments of rights while such stock is held by the
Corporation.
ARTICLE VIII

ARTICLE XI
Waiver of Notice
Any notice required to be given by law, by the Restated Articles of
Incorporation, or by these By-Laws may be waived in writing signed by the
person entitled to such notice and delivered to the Corporation, whether before
or after the time stated therein, except that attendance of a person at a
meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting unless such
attendance is for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the
meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.
A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of
Directors (or a committee thereof) at which action on any corporate matter is
taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless he votes
against such action or abstains from voting in respect thereto because of an
asserted conflict of interest.
ARTICLE XII
Indemnification of Officers,
Directors, Employees and Agents
Section 1. Indemnification
The Corporation shall, and does hereby, indemnify to the fullest extent
permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or current or future
judicial or administrative decisions (but, in the case of any such future
legislation or decisions, only to the extent that it permits the Corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to such legislation
or decisions), each person (including here and hereinafter the heirs,
executors, administrators or the estate of such person) who was or is a party,
or is threatened to be made a party, or was or is a witness, to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), against any liability (which
for purposes of this Article shall include any judgment, settlement, penalty or
fine) or cost, charge or expense (including attorneys' fees) asserted against
him or incurred by him by reason of the fact that such indemnified person (1)
is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or (2) is or was
an agent of the Corporation as to whom the Corporation has agreed to grant such
indemnity or (3) is or was serving, at the request of the Corporation, as a
director, officer,
16
<PAGE> 19
employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (including serving as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan)
or is serving as an agent of such other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise as to whom the Corporation has agreed to
grant such indemnity. Each director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation to whom indemnification rights under this Section 1 of this
Article have been granted shall be referred to as an "Indemnified Person".
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as specified in Section 3 of
this Article, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify an
Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or any part thereof)
initiated by such Indemnified Person unless such authorization for such
Proceeding (or any part thereof) was not denied by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation prior to sixty (60) days after receipt of notice thereof
from such Indemnified Person stating his intent to initiate such Proceeding
and only upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may deem
appropriate.
Section 2. Advance of Costs, Charges and Expenses
Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
by an officer, director or employee who is an Indemnified Person in
defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation to the fullest
extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or current
or future judicial or administrative decisions (but, in the case of any
such future legislation or decisions only to the extent that it permits the
Corporation to provide broader rights to advance costs, charges and
expenses than permitted prior to such legislation or decisions) in advance
of the final disposition of such Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts so advanced
in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article
and upon such other terms and conditions, in the case of agents as to whom
the Corporation has agreed to grant such indemnity, as the Board of
Directors may deem appropriate. The Corporation may, upon approval of the
Indemnified Person, authorize the Corporation's counsel to represent such
person in any Proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such
Proceeding. Such authorization may be made by the Chairman of the Board,
unless he is a party to such Proceeding, or by the Board of Directors by
majority vote, including directors who are parties to such Proceeding.
Section 3. Procedure For Indemnification
Any indemnification or advance under this Article shall be made
promptly and in any event within sixty (60) days upon the written request
of the Indemnified Person. The right to indemnification or advances as
granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Person in
any court of competent jurisdiction, if the Corporation denies such request
under this Article, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is
made within sixty (60) days. Such Indemnified Person's costs and expenses
incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be
indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action
that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct, if any, required by
current or future legislation or by current or future judicial or
administrative decisions for indemnification (but, in the case of any such
future legislation or decisions, only to the extent that it does not impose
a more stringent standard of conduct than
17
<PAGE> 20
permitted prior to such legislation or decisions), but the burden of proving
such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, its
independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct, if any, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by
the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, its
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met
such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create
a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
Section 4. Survival of Indemnification
The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or recommendation of
counsel or otherwise, both as to actions in such person's official capacity and
as to actions in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue
as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators
and the estate of such person. All rights to indemnification under this
Article shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each
Indemnified Person who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this
Article is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Article or any repeal
or modification of relevant provisions of Florida corporation law or any other
applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of
such Indemnified Person, or the obligations of the Corporation arising
hereunder, for claims relating to matters occurring prior to such repeal or
modification.
Section 5. Insurance
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise (including serving as a fiduciary of an employee benefit
plan), against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any
such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this Article XII or the applicable provisions of Florida law.
Section 6. Savings Clause
If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by
any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless
indemnify each Indemnified Person as to costs, charges and expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect
to any Proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation,
to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that
shall not have been invalidated and as permitted by applicable law.
18
<PAGE> 21
ARTICLE XIII
By-Law Amendment
Except as otherwise provided in the Restated Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, alter,
amend and repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation (except insofar as the
By-Laws of the Corporation adopted by the stockholders shall otherwise
provide). Any By-Laws made by the stockholders may prescribe that they may
not be altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors. Any By-Laws
made by the Board of Directors under the powers conferred hereby and by the
Restated Articles of Incorporation may be altered, amended or repealed by
the Board of Directors or by the stockholders. Amendments to the By-Laws
(including any amendment to this Article XIII) shall be effected as
follows:
a. By Action of the Board of Directors
Unless a greater vote is specifically required by the laws
of the State of Florida, or a greater or different vote or a vote of
stockholders is required by the provisions of the Restated Articles of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors may alter, amend or repeal these
By-Laws, or adopt such other By-Laws as in their judgment may be advisable
for the administration or regulation of the management and affairs of the
Corporation, to the extent not inconsistent with the laws of the State of
Florida or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, only upon the
affirmative vote of at least 75% of the total number of directors as fixed
in accordance with Section 1 of Article V of these By-Laws.
b. By Action of the Stockholders
Unless a greater vote is specifically required by the laws
of the State of Florida, or a greater or different vote is required by the
provisions of the Restated Articles of Incorporation, the stockholders may
alter, amend or repeal these By-Laws, or adopt such other By-Laws as in
their judgment may be advisable for the administration or regulation of the
management and affairs of the Corporation, to the extent not inconsistent
with the laws of the State of Florida or the Restated Articles of
Incorporation, at any regular meeting of the stockholders (or at any
special meeting thereof duly called for that purpose in accordance with the
provisions of these By-Laws), only upon the affirmative vote of at least
75% of the voting power of all the shares of the Corporation entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single
class.
ARTICLE XIV
Continuing Effect of By-Law Provisions
Any provision contained in these By-Laws which, at the time of its
adoption, was authorized or permitted by applicable law shall continue to
remain in full force and effect until such time as such provision is
specifically amended in accordance with these By-Laws, notwithstanding any
subsequent modification of such applicable law (except to the extent such
By-Law provision expressly provides for its modification by or as a result
of any such subsequently enacted law).

Change of Control
Severance Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT between RYDER SYSTEM, INC., a Florida corporation
(the "Corporation"), and _______________________ (the "Executive"), dated
as of the _______ day of ___________________, 19_____.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Executive is an officer and/or key employee of the
Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates and an integral part of
its management; and
WHEREAS, in order to retain the Executive and to assure both the
Executive and the Corporation of the continuity of management in the event
of any actual or threatened Change of Control (as defined in Section 2) of
the Corporation, the Corporation desires to provide severance benefits to
the Executive if the Executive's employment with the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates terminates as provided herein concurrent with or
subsequent to a Change of Control;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants herein contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the
Corporation and the Executive as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective
as of the date hereof and shall terminate upon the occurrence of the
earliest of the events specified below; provided, however, that Section 5
shall survive termination of this Agreement:
(a) the last day of the Severance Period (as defined
in Section 3(f));
(b) the termination of the Executive's employment by
the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates for Death, Disability or
Cause, or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in
Section 3(b), (a), and (c) respectively);
(c) one (1) year following the date of receipt of a
mailing (by overnight express mail or registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested) or hand delivery to the Executive by the Corporation of
written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement; provided,
however, that such written notice shall have been received by the Executive
prior to the date of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2);
(d) three (3) years following the date of a Change of
Control (as defined in Section 2) if the Executive's employment with the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates has not been terminated as of
such time;
(e) the material breach by the Executive of the
provisions of Section 5.
Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, if the Executive should die while receiving severance pay
or benefits pursuant to Section 4 as a result of the termination of the
Executive's employment by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or
<PAGE> 3
affiliates other than for Death, Disability or Cause, or by the Executive for
Good Reason (as defined in Sections 3(b), (a), and (c) respectively), this
Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Executive's death and both
parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement other than
those under Section 5(b)(II) and those relating to amounts or benefits which
are payable under this Agreement within five (5) business days after the
Executive's Date of Termination (if not already paid), are vested under any
plan, program, policy or practice, or the Executive is otherwise entitled to
receive upon his death, including but not limited to, life insurance. Any
payment due pursuant to the preceding sentence upon the Executive's death shall
be made to the estate of the deceased Executive, unless the plan, program,
policy, practice or law provides otherwise.
2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change
of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(a) a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), but excluding any employee benefit plan or plans of the Corporation and
its subsidiaries and affiliates, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote
for the election of directors of the Corporation; or
(b) the individuals who, as of June 26, 1987, constituted the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board" generally and as of June 26,
1987 the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Board, or in the case of a merger or consolidation of
the Corporation, do not constitute or cease to constitute at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the board of directors of the surviving company (or in a case where
the surviving corporation is controlled, directly or indirectly, by another
corporation or entity do not constitute or cease to constitute at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the board of such controlling corporation or do not have or
cease to have at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting seats on any body
comparable to a board of directors of such controlling entity or, if there is
no body comparable to a board of directors, at least two-thirds (2/3) voting
control of such controlling entity), provided that any person becoming a
director (or, in the case of a controlling non-corporate entity, obtaining a
position comparable to a director or obtaining a voting interest in such
entity) subsequent to June 26, 1987 whose election, or nomination for election,
was approved by a vote of the persons comprising at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual
whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or
threatened election contest, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of
this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
Board; or
(c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation
or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

<PAGE> 4
If the Corporation enters into an agreement or series of
agreements or the Board passes a resolution which will result in the
occurrence of any of the matters described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c),
and the Executive's employment is terminated subsequent to the date of
execution of such agreement or series of agreements or the passage of such
resolution, but prior to the occurrence of any of the matters described in
Subsections (a), (b) or (c), then, upon the occurrence of any of the
matters described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c), a Change of Control shall
be deemed to have retroactively occurred on the date of the execution of
the earliest of such agreement(s) or the passage of such resolution.
3. Certain Definitions.
(a) Cause. The Executive's employment may be
terminated for Cause only if a majority of the Incumbent Board determines
that Cause (as defined below) exists. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Cause" means (i) an act or acts of fraud, misappropriation, or
embezzlement on the Executive's part which result in or are intended to
result in his or another's personal enrichment at the expense of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) conviction of a felony,
(iii) conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or (iv)
willful failure to report to work for more than thirty (30) continuous days
not attributable to eligible vacation or supported by a licensed
physician's statement.
(b) Death or Disability.
(i) The Executive's employment will be
terminated by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates
automatically upon the Executive's death ("Death").
(ii) After having established the Executive's
Disability (as defined below), the Corporation may give to the Executive
written notice of the Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' or affiliates'
intention to terminate the Executive's employment for Disability. The
Executive's employment will terminate for Disability effective on the
thirtieth (30th) day after the Executive's receipt of such notice (the
"Disability Effective Date") if within such thirty (30) day period after
such receipt the Executive shall fail to return to full-time performance of
his duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means disability
which after the expiration of more than twenty-six (26) weeks after its
commencement is determined to be total and permanent by an independent
licensed physician mutually agreeable to the parties.
In the event of the Executive's termination for Death or
Disability, the Executive and, to the extent applicable, his legal
representatives, executors, heirs, legatees and beneficiaries, shall have
no rights under this Agreement and their sole recourse, if any, shall be
under the death or disability provisions of the plans, programs, policies
and practices of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, as
appropriate.
(c) Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Good Reason" means:
3

right to withhold).
For the purposes of this Section 3(c), any good faith

(e) Date of Termination. Date of Termination means
the date of receipt by the Executive or the Corporation or its subsidiaries
or affiliates of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified

(a) Circumstances of Termination.
(i) If, within the three (3) year period
commencing on a Change of Control of the Corporation, (A) the Corporation
or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall terminate the Executive's
employment for any reason other than for Death, Disability or Cause, or (B)
the Executive shall terminate his employment with the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates for Good Reason, the Corporation agrees to
provide the Executive with compensation, benefits and perquisites in
accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in Subsection (iii)
below and the other provisions of this Agreement, and the Executive agrees
that he shall be subject to such terms and provisions. The Executive shall

5
<PAGE> 7
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for immediate reemployment
with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
(ii) If during the term of this Agreement, (A) the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall terminate the Executive's
employment for Death, Disability or Cause or (B) the Executive shall terminate
his employment with the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates other
than for Good Reason, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any of the
benefits set forth in Subsection (iii) below or in any other section of this
Agreement, except to the extent of the amounts which represent vested benefits
or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan,
program, policy or practice of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates at or subsequent to the Executive's Date of Termination.
(iii) If the Executive is entitled to receive severance
pay and benefits under Subsection (i) above, the Corporation agrees to provide
the Executive with the following compensation, benefits and perquisites,
subject to Section 5(b):
(I) Cash Entitlement. The Corporation and/or
the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) shall pay to the Executive the
aggregate of the amounts determined pursuant to clauses a through f below:
a. Unpaid Salary and Vacation. If
not already paid, the Executive's base salary and unused vacation
entitlement through the Executive's Date of Termination at the rate in
effect at the time the Notice of Termination was given, or if greater, at
the highest rate in effect during the six (6) month period immediately
preceding the Change of Control.
b. Salary Multiple. The
Executive's annual base salary at the rate in effect at the time the Notice
of Termination was given, or if greater, at the highest rate in effect
during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control
("Annual Base Salary"), multiplied by the following salary multiple
depending on the Executive's management level immediately preceding the
Change of Control:
Mgmt. Level 19 or above 3
Mgmt. Level 15-18 2
Mgmt. Level 14 1.5
Mgmt. Level 13 1
Mgmt. Level 12 .75
Mgmt. Level 11 .5
c. Bonus Multiple. An amount equal
to the product of (i) the Executive's Annual Base Salary multiplied by (ii)
the stated maximum bonus opportunity percentage available to the Executive
under the respective incentive compensation plan immediately preceding
either the Notice of Termination or, if greater, the Change of Control
multiplied by (iii) the "Executive's Three Year Average Bonus Percentage"
(as defined below) (the
6
<PAGE> 8
product of (i), (ii), and (iii) hereinafter referred to as the
"Bonus Opportunity") multiplied by (iv) the following multiple
depending on the Executive's management level immediately
preceding either the Notice of Termination or, if greater, the
Change of Control:
Mgmt. Level 17 or above 1
Mgmt. Level 11-16 0
The "Executive's Three Year Average Bonus Percentage" is
the sum of the bonus percentages paid to the Executive divided by
the stated maximum bonus opportunity percentages available to the
Executive rounded to one decimal place (e.g., 86.3%) for each of
the three (3) fiscal years immediately preceding either the Notice
of Termination or, if greater, the Change of Control divided by
three (3).
If the Executive has been employed by the Corporation
and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates for less than three (3)
fiscal years prior to the Change of Control, or if the Executive
was not eligible to receive an incentive compensation award
pursuant to an incentive compensation plan of the Corporation
and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates for one (1) or more of the
three (3) fiscal years immediately preceding either the Change of
Control or the Notice of Termination, the bonus percentage to be
applied in the "Executive's Three Year Bonus Percentage"
calculation for any year in which the Executive was not employed
or eligible to receive an incentive award will be the average
bonus percentage paid for such year to all executives in the
Corporation or the Executive's respective division, as
appropriate, with a stated maximum bonus opportunity level similar
to that of the Executive immediately preceding either the Notice
of Termination or, if greater, the Change of Control divided by
the average stated maximum bonus opportunity available to these
executives rounded to one decimal place (e.g., 86.3%).

d. Tenure - Related Bonus. An amount equal
to the product of the Bonus Opportunity determined in clause c above
multiplied by the number of the Executive's full and prorated partial years
of service with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates,
subject to a maximum of twelve (12) years, divided by twelve (12).
e. Change of Control Year Bonus. If the
Executive has not yet been paid an incentive compensation award for the
calendar year in which the Change of Control occurred in accordance with
the terms of the respective incentive compensation plan in effect
immediately preceding the Change of Control, the Executive shall receive an
amount equal to the product of (i) the actual salary earned by the
Executive during the calendar year in which the Change of Control occurred
multiplied by (ii) the sum of (a) the greater of actual company performance
or eighty percent (80%) of maximum company performance opportunity for such
calendar year under the respective incentive compensation plan as in effect
immediately preceding the Change of Control plus (b) the greater of actual
individual performance or eighty percent (80%) of maximum individual
performance opportunity for the Executive for such calendar year under the
respective incentive compensation plan as in effect immediately preceding
the Change of Control; provided, however, if a "Big Six" accounting firm
chosen by the Corporation does not verify the actual company and individual
performance in accordance with the terms of the respective incentive
compensation plan in effect immediately preceding the Change of Control,
the Executive shall receive an amount equal to the product of (i) above
multiplied by the sum of (a) one hundred percent (100%) of maximum company
performance opportunity for such calendar year under the respective
incentive compensation plan as in effect immediately preceding the Change
of Control plus (b) one hundred percent (100%) of maximum individual
performance opportunity for the Executive for such calendar year under the
respective incentive compensation plan as in effect immediately preceding
the Change of Control.
f. Prior Year Bonus. If bonuses for the
calendar year prior to the Executive's Date of Termination (other than
those payable pursuant to clause e above) have been distributed and the
Executive is entitled to and has not yet been paid his incentive
compensation award for such calendar year, and his Date of Termination is
subsequent to the incentive compensation award payment date for such
calendar year, then the Executive shall receive an additional amount equal
to the product of the actual salary earned by the Executive during the
prior calendar year multiplied by the actual bonus percentage approved for
the Executive for such calendar year under the respective incentive
compensation plan.
The Corporation and/or the Trustee (as defined in
Section 4(c)) shall pay to the Executive the aggregate of the amounts
determined pursuant to clauses a through d and clause f above in a lump sum
by cashier's check within five (5) business days after the later of the
Executive's Date of Termination or the date of receipt by the Corporation
and the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) of the Executive's written
demand for payment accompanied by notarized copies of the Notice of
Termination, release and, to the extent applicable, letter of resignation
(as described in Section 5(b)(II)). The Corporation and/or the Trustee (as
defined in Section 4(c)) shall
8
<PAGE> 10
pay to the Executive the amount determined pursuant to clause e
above by cashier's check no later than (i) the first March 15th
following the calendar year in which the Change of Control
occurred or (ii) five (5) business days after the later of the
Executive's Date of Termination or the date of receipt by the
Corporation and the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) of the
Executive's written demand for payment accompanied by notarized
copies of the Notice of Termination, release and, to the extent
applicable, letter of resignation (as described in Section
5(b)(II)), whichever is the last to occur.
(II) Medical, Dental, Disability, Life
Insurance and Other Similar Plans and Programs. Until the
earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the Severance Period,
(ii) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible for the
designated or comparable coverage as an employee of another
employer which provides or offers such coverage to its employees,
or (iii) in the case of benefits requiring employee contributions,
the date the Executive fails to make such contributions pursuant
to the Corporation's or the plan's instructions (which
instructions shall be reasonable and given to the Executive by the
Corporation within five (5) business days following the
Executive's Date of Termination) or otherwise cancels his coverage
in accordance with plan provisions (the "Benefits Continuation
Period"), the Corporation shall continue to provide all benefits
which the Executive and/or his family is or would have been
entitled to receive under all medical, dental, disability,
supplemental life, group life, and accidental death and
dismemberment insurance plans and programs, and other similar
plans and programs of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, in each
case on a basis providing the Executive and/or his family with the
opportunity to receive benefits at least equal to the greatest
level of benefits provided by the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates for the Executive under such plans and
programs if and as in effect at any time during the six (6) month
period immediately preceding either the Notice of Termination or,
if greater, the Change of Control whether or not such plans or
programs were in effect at the time of the execution of this
Agreement. The non-contributory benefits will be paid for by the
Corporation. The medical and dental plan benefits, to the extent
applicable, will be provided in accordance with the provisions of
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of l985, as
amended ("COBRA"), except that the Corporation shall pay the COBRA
premiums for the standard medical and dental plan benefits during
the Benefits Continuation Period. If the Executive's
participation in any such plan or program is barred by COBRA or
for any other reason, the Corporation shall pay or provide for
payment of such benefits or substantially similar benefits to the
Executive and/or his family. Upon termination of his coverage
under this paragraph, the Executive may be eligible under COBRA to
continue some of his benefits for an additional period of time.
Additionally, the Executive has thirty-one (31) days from the last
day of coverage in which to convert his group life insurance to an
individual policy. The Executive must arrange for conversion
through an agent of The Prudential Insurance Company of America,
or such other insurance company as is then providing coverage.
(III) Car. a. If, immediately prior to the
Change of Control, the Executive was assigned a car and was in
management level 14 or above, within five (5)
9
<PAGE> 11
business days after the Executive's Date of Termination, the Corporation
shall transfer to the Executive free and clear title to the car assigned to
the Executive on the Executive's Date of Termination, if any, or if the
Executive chooses, to a car comparable to that assigned to the Executive at
any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Change
of Control.
b. If, immediately prior to the Change of Control, the
Executive was assigned a car and was in management level 13 or below, then
the following provisions will apply:
If the Executive has less than one (1) full year of service with
the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Executive may
purchase from the Corporation free and clear title to the car assigned to
the Executive on the Executive's Date of Termination, if any, or if the
Executive chooses, to a car comparable to that assigned to the Executive at
any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Change
of Control, for the average retail value of the car listed in the National
Automobile Dealer's Association, Official Used Car Guide as of the date of

years of service with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, the Executive may purchase from the Corporation free and clear
title to the car assigned to the Executive on the Executive's Date of
Termination, if any, or if the Executive chooses, to a car comparable to
that assigned to the Executive at any time during the six (6) month period
immediately preceding the Change of Control, for fifty percent (50%) of the
average retail value of the car listed in the National Automobile Dealer's
Association, Official Used Car Guide as of the date of the purchase.
If the Executive has completed five (5) or more full years of
service with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the
Corporation shall transfer to the Executive free and clear title to the car
assigned to the Executive on the Executive's Date of Termination, if any,
or if the Executive chooses, to a car comparable to that assigned to the
Executive at any time during the six (6) month period immediately preceding
the Change of Control.
Purchase arrangements and title transfer must be completed within
five (5) business days after the Executive's Date of Termination.
c. The Executive shall not be entitled to any car
telephone provided by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates and
such car telephone, if applicable, shall be returned to the Corporation
immediately upon title transfer. The Executive will be responsible for the
sales tax on transfer as well as for all insurance, maintenance, taxes and
other liabilities associated with the car after title transfer.
Additionally, the Corporation shall assign to the Executive all claims for
breach of warranty and other similar matters against the vendor and
manufacturer of the car. The Executive agrees to accept such car in an "As
Is" condition. THE EXECUTIVE WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION AND
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND
10
<PAGE> 12
THEREFORE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CORPORATION DOES NOT MAKE ANY
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE CAR, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CONDITION OR
DESIGN OF THE CAR, ANY LATENT DEFECTS OF THE CAR, THE
MERCHANTABILITY OF THE CAR OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
d. Notwithstanding the Executive's management
level, if the Executive was receiving a car allowance immediately
preceding the Change of Control, the Corporation and/or the
Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) shall pay to the Executive,
in a lump sum by cashier's check within five (5) business days
after the later of the Executive's Date of Termination or the date
of receipt by the Corporation and the Trustee (as defined in
Section 4(c)) of the Executive's written demand for payment
accompanied by notarized copies of the Notice of Termination,
release and, to the extent applicable, letter of resignation (as
described in Section 5(b)(II)), an amount equal to the product of
the Executive's monthly car allowance in effect at the time the
Notice of Termination was given, or if greater, the highest
monthly car allowance in effect for the Executive during the six
(6) month period immediately preceding the Change of Control,
multiplied by the salary multiple for the Executive set forth in
clause (I)b above multiplied by 12.
(IV) Outplacement. The Corporation and/or
the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) shall pay to the
Executive, in a lump sum by cashier's check within five (5)
business days after the later of the Executive's Date of
Termination or the date of receipt by the Corporation and the
Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) of the Executive's written
demand for payment accompanied by notarized copies of the Notice
of Termination, release and, to the extent applicable, letter of
resignation (as described in Section 5(b)(II)), an amount equal to
twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate of the Executive's Annual
Base Salary and Bonus Opportunity (as defined in clauses (I)b and
(I)c above respectively), subject to a maximum cost of $50,000 if
the Executive was in management level 11-19 immediately prior to
either the Notice of Termination, or if greater, the Change of
Control and a maximum cost of $75,000 if the Executive was above
management level 19 immediately prior to either the Notice of
Termination, or if greater, the Change of Control, which amount
may be used by the Executive as he sees fit and, at his sole
discretion, in seeking new employment, including outplacement
services.
(V) Perquisite, Country Club and
Financial Planning/Tax Preparation Allowances. The Corporation and/or the
Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) shall pay to the Executive, in a lump
sum by cashier's check within five (5) business days after the later of the
Executive's Date of Termination or the date of receipt by the Corporation
and the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) of the Executive's written
demand for payment accompanied by notarized copies of the Notice of
Termination, release and, to the extent applicable, letter of resignation
(as described in Section 5(b)(II)), an amount equal to the perquisite,
country club and financial planning/tax preparation allowances, as
appropriate, the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the
plans, programs, policies and practices of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates for the twelve (12) month perquisite and
financial
11
<PAGE> 13
planning/tax preparation payment period of the Corporation or the Executive's
respective division, as appropriate (i.e., January - December or September -
August), in which the Notice of Termination was given, if not yet paid, and one
(1) additional twelve (12) month period thereafter, but in no event for longer
than the Severance Period, in each case on a basis providing the Executive with
benefits at least equal to the greatest level of benefits provided by the
Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates for the Executive under such
plans, programs, policies and practices if and as in effect at any time during
the six (6) month period immediately preceding either the Notice of
Termination, or if greater, the Change of Control.
(VI) Split-Dollar Life Insurance and Deferred
Compensation. Notwithstanding anything in the applicable agreements, plans
or policies to the contrary, if the Executive is covered by the
Corporation's split-dollar life insurance with its attendant deferred
compensation benefit on his Date of Termination, and the Executive wishes
to retain both the life insurance coverage and its future deferred
compensation benefit, the Executive may purchase the policy from the
Corporation by paying the Corporation an amount equal to the cash value of
the policy. If the Executive elects to purchase the policy from the
Corporation, the Executive will have all the benefits inherent in ownership
of the whole-life policy, including the cash value of the policy.
If the Executive wishes to retain the life insurance coverage
only, the Executive may convert the policy by forfeiting the deferred
compensation benefit. If the Executive chooses this alternative, the
Corporation will transfer ownership of the policy to the Executive, and
contemporaneously the Executive will execute an agreement relinquishing the
deferred compensation benefit. This alternative transfers the entire cash
value of the policy to the Executive and relieves the Corporation of the
administrative record-keeping associated with the Executive's deferred
compensation benefit.
The Executive must notify the Corporation of his election for the
transfer of his split-dollar life insurance policy and deferred
compensation benefit within thirty (30) days following the Executive's Date
of Termination and the Corporation shall complete the transfer immediately
upon receipt of such notice and the required payment or executed agreement.
(b) Gross-Up for Excise Tax. In the event that it shall be
determined that any payment or benefit by the Corporation to or for the benefit
of the Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other payments
or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection with or
as a result of the Change of Control or the Executive's termination of
employment or any event which is deemed by the Internal Revenue Service or any
other taxing authority to constitute a change in the ownership or effective
control of the Corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
assets of the Corporation ("Change of Control Payments") shall be subject to
the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 (or any successor section)
of the Internal Revenue Code of l986, as it may be amended from time to time
(the "Code"), the Corporation and/or the Trustee (as defined in Paragraph 4(c))
shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such
that the net amount retained by the Executive, after (i) payment of any Excise
Tax on the Change of Control Payments and (ii) payment of any federal and state
and local income tax and
12
<PAGE> 14
Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Change of
Control Payments. The determination of whether the Executive is subject to
the Excise Tax and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, if any, shall be
made by a "Big Six" accounting firm chosen by the Trustee (as defined in
Section 4(c)) and reasonably agreeable to the Executive, which
determination shall be binding upon the Executive and the Corporation. For
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive
shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of
federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment
is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate
of taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be
made in the state or locality of the Executive's residence on the
Executive's Date of Termination. The Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the
Executive by cashier's check within five (5) business days following the
receipt by the Trustee (as defined in Section 4(c)) of the Gross-Up Payment
determination from the selected "Big Six" accounting firm.
(c) Trust(s).
(i) In order to ensure in the event of a Change of
Control that timely payment will be made of certain obligations of the
Corporation to the Executive provided for under this Agreement, the
Corporation shall pay into one or more trust(s) (the "Trust(s)")
established between the Corporation and any financial institution with
assets in excess of $100 million selected by the Corporation prior to the
Change of Control, as trustee (the "Trustee"), such amounts and at such
time or times as are required in order to fully pay all amounts due the
Executive pursuant to Section 4 that are payable in cash or by cashier's
check, or as are otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the Trust(s).
Thereafter, all such payments required to be paid hereunder shall be made
out of the Trust(s); provided, however, that the Corporation shall retain
liability for and pay the Executive any amounts or provide for such other
benefits due the Executive under this Agreement for which there are
insufficient funds in the Trust(s), for which no funding of the Trust(s) is
required or in the event that the Trustee fails to make such payment to the
Executive within the time frames set forth in this Agreement. Prior to the
Change of Control, and to the extent necessary because of a change in the
Trustee, after the Change of Control, the Corporation shall provide the
Executive with the name and address of the Trustee.
(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "the
Corporation and/or the Trustee" shall mean the Trustee to the extent the
Corporation has put funds in the Trust(s) and the Corporation to the extent
the Corporation has not funded or fully funded the Trust(s); provided,
however, that in accordance with Subsection (i) above, the Corporation
shall retain liability for and pay the Executive any amounts or provide for
such other benefits due the Executive under this Agreement for which the
Trustee fails to make adequate payment to the Executive within the time
frames set forth in this Agreement.
5. Obligations of the Executive.
(a) Covenant of Confidentiality. All documents,
records, techniques, business secrets and other information of the
Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates, which have or will come into
the Executive's possession from time to time during the Executive's
affiliation with the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and which the Corporation treats
13
<PAGE> 15

subsidiaries or affiliates shall be deemed as such by the Executive and, shall
be the sole and exclusive property of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and
affiliates. The Executive agrees that the Executive will keep confidential and
not divulge to any other party any of the Corporation's or its subsidiaries' or
affiliates' confidential information and business secrets, including, but not
limited to, such matters as costs, profits, markets, sales, products, product
lines, key personnel, pricing policies, operational methods, customers,
customer requirements, suppliers, plans for future developments, and other
business affairs and methods and other information not readily available to the
public. Additionally, the Executive agrees that upon his termination of
employment, the Executive shall promptly return to the Corporation any and all
confidential and proprietary information of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates that is in his possession.
(b) If, within the three (3) year period commencing on a
Change of Control of the Corporation, (i) the Corporation or its subsidiaries

Reason, and the Executive shall elect to receive severance pay and benefits in

geographic area where such business of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates is conducted; provided, however, that
the Executive is not prohibited from owning one percent (1%) or
less of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation whose
stock is listed on a national securities exchange.
During the Severance Period or the one (1) year period following
the Executive's Date of Termination, whichever is shorter, the
Executive shall not, either on the Executive's own account or for
any person, firm or company, solicit, interfere with or induce, or
attempt to induce, any employee of the Corporation or any of its

subsidiaries or affiliates to leave his employment or to
breach his employment agreement, if any.
(II) Release. Upon the Executive's
termination of employment, the Executive and the
Corporation shall execute a release agreement in the form
attached as Exhibit A; provided, however, that the only
condition to the Executive's receipt of any payments or
benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be his tender of
such release, executed by him, to the Corporation, and the
Executive's obligations and limitations under such release
as executed by him shall be conditioned upon the execution
of such release by the Corporation and delivery to the
Executive within thirty (30) days of the Executive's
tender thereof to the Corporation. In addition, to the
extent applicable, upon the Executive's termination of
employment, the Executive shall execute a resignation
letter in the form attached as Exhibit B.
(c) Specific Remedy. The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that if the Executive commits a material breach of the Covenant of
Confidentiality (Subsection (a) above) or the Covenant Against Competition
(clause (I) of Subsection (b) above), the Corporation shall have the right
to have the covenant specifically enforced by any court having appropriate
jurisdiction on the grounds that any such breach will cause irreparable
injury to the Corporation, and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to the Corporation. The Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that the Covenant of Confidentiality and, if applicable, the
Covenant Against Competition contained in this Agreement are fair, do not
unreasonably restrict the Executive's future employment and business
opportunities, and are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set
out in this Agreement. In addition, once the Executive makes an election
to receive severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 4 and is subject
to Subsection (b) above, the Executive shall have no right to return any
amounts or benefits that are already paid or to refuse to accept any
amounts or benefits that are payable in the future in lieu of his specific
performance of his obligations under Subsection (b) above.
6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation
in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or
practices provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything
herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under such plans, programs, policies or practices or under any stock option
or other agreements with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, specifically including but not limited to the Ryder System,
Inc. 1980 Stock Incentive Plan, the deferred compensation agreements, the
Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' or affiliates' retirement, 401(k)
and profit sharing plans, the Ryder System, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan
supplemental disability and retiree life insurance. In the event there are
any amounts which represent vested benefits or which the Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under these or any other plans, programs,
policies or practices, including any plan, program, policy or practice
adopted after the execution of this Agreement, of the Corporation or any of
15
<PAGE> 17
its subsidiaries or affiliates at or subsequent to the Executive's Date of
Termination, the Corporation shall pay or cause the relevant plan, program,
policy or practice to pay such amounts, to the extent not already paid, in
accordance with the provisions of such plan, program, policy or practice. The
phrase "Termination Date" as used in the Ryder System, Inc. 1980 Stock
Incentive Plan shall mean the end of the Severance Period with respect to
Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to the Executive, if any, pursuant to such
plan, and the Executive's Date of Termination with respect to Incentive Stock
Options and Restricted Stock Rights granted to the Executive, if any,
thereunder. The last day of the Severance Period will be considered to be the
Executive's termination date for purposes of the Executive's deferred
compensation agreement(s), if any.
7. Full Settlement. Except as specifically provided otherwise in
this Agreement, the Corporation's obligation to make the payments provided for
in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not
be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Corporation may have
against the Executive or others. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek
other employment by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive
under any of the provisions of this Agreement nor, except as specifically
provided otherwise in this Agreement, shall the amount of any payment provided
for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation or benefits earned by
the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination, or otherwise. The Corporation agrees to pay all legal fees and
expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest
(regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Corporation or others of the
validity or enforceability of, or liability under any provision of this
Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof, in each case plus interest,
compounded daily, on the total unpaid amount determined to be payable under
this Agreement, such interest to be calculated on the basis of the greater of
(a) two percent (2%) over the base or prime commercial lending rate announced
by the First National Bank of Boston in effect from time to time during the
period of such nonpayment or (b) eighteen percent (18%), but in no event
greater than the highest interest rate permitted by law for such payments.
8. Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
the Executive does not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest
herein.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Corporation and its successors. The Corporation shall require
any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Corporation, whether directly or indirectly, by purchase, merger,
consolidation, acquisition of stock, or otherwise, expressly to assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as
the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place, by a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Executive, delivered to the Executive within five (5) business days after
such succession. As used in this Agreement, "Corporation" shall mean the
Corporation as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by
operation of law, or otherwise.

Severance Agreement
THIS AGREEMENT between RYDER SYSTEM, INC., a Florida corporation (the
"Corporation"), and ____________________________ (the "Executive"), dated as of
the _______day of _____________________, 19_____.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Executive is an officer and/or key employee of the Corporation
and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates and an integral part of its management;
and
WHEREAS, in order to retain the Executive, the Corporation desires to
provide severance benefits to the Executive if the Executive's employment with

prior to a Change of Control (as defined in Section 2);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the Corporation and the
Executive as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as of
the date hereof and shall terminate upon the occurrence of the earliest of the
events specified below; provided, however, that Section 5 shall survive
termination:
(a) the last day of the Severance Period (as defined in
Section 3(e));
(b) the termination of the Executive's employment by the
Executive for any reason or by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or
affiliates for Death, Disability or Cause (as defined in Sections 3(b) and (a)
respectively);
(c) one (1) year following the date of receipt of a mailing
(by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested) or hand delivery to
the Executive by the Corporation of written notice of its intent to terminate
this Agreement, provided that the Executive is not then receiving severance pay
and benefits pursuant to Section 4 as a result of his termination by the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates other than for Death, Disability
or Cause (as defined in Sections 3(b) and (a) respectively) prior to the end of
the one (1) year period;
(d) a Change of Control of the Corporation (as defined in

of Control;
(e) the material breach by the Executive of the provisions of
Section 5;
(f) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
4(a)(i) or Section 4(a)(iii)(II).
<PAGE> 3
Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if the Executive should die while receiving severance pay or benefits
pursuant to Section 4 as a result of his termination by the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates other than for Death, Disability or Cause (as
defined in Sections 3(b) and (a) respectively), this Agreement shall terminate
immediately upon the Executive's death and both parties shall be released from
all obligations under this Agreement other than those under Section 5(b)(II)
and those relating to amounts or benefits which are payable under this
Agreement within five (5) business days after the Executive's Date of
Termination (if not yet paid), are vested under any plan, program, policy or
practice or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive upon his
death, including but not limited to, life insurance. Any payment due pursuant
to the preceding sentence upon the Executive's death shall be made to the
estate of the deceased Executive, unless the plan, program, policy, practice or
law provides otherwise.
2. Change of Control. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Change
of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(a) a third person, including a "group" as defined in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), but excluding any employee benefit plan or plans of the Corporation and
its subsidiaries and affiliates, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's outstanding voting securities ordinarily having the right to vote
for the election of directors of the Corporation; or
(b) the individuals who, as of June 26, 1987, constituted the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board" generally and as of June 26,
1987, the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Board, or in the case of a merger or consolidation of
the Corporation, do not constitute or cease to constitute at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the board of directors of the surviving company (or in a case where
the surviving corporation is controlled, directly or indirectly, by another
corporation or entity do not constitute or cease to constitute at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the board of such controlling corporation or do not have or
cease to have at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting seats on any body
comparable to a board of directors of such controlling entity or, if there is
no body comparable to a board of directors, at least two-thirds (2/3) voting
control of such controlling entity), provided that any person becoming a
director (or, in the case of a controlling non-corporate entity, obtaining a
position comparable to a director or obtaining a voting interest in such
entity) subsequent to June 26, 1987 whose election, or nomination for election,
was approved by a vote of the persons comprising at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an individual
whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or
threatened election contest, as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of
this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member of the Incumbent
Board; or
(c) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or a
sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

<PAGE> 4
If the Corporation enters into an agreement or series of
agreements or the Board passes a resolution which will result in the
occurrence of any of the matters described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c),
and the Executive's employment is terminated subsequent to the date of
execution of such agreement or series of agreements or the passage of such
resolution, but prior to the occurrence of any of the matters described in
Subsections (a), (b) or (c), then, upon the occurrence of any of the
matters described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c), a Change of Control shall
be deemed to have retroactively occurred on the date of the execution of
the earliest of such agreement(s) or the passage of such resolution.
3. Certain Definitions.
(a) Cause. The Executive's employment may be
terminated for Cause only if the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer
determines that Cause (as defined below) exists. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" means (i) an act or acts of fraud, misappropriation, or
embezzlement on the Executive's part which result in or are intended to
result in his or another's personal enrichment at the expense of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) conviction of a felony,
(iii) conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or (iv)
willful failure to report to work for more than thirty (30) continuous days
not attributable to eligible vacation or supported by a licensed
physician's statement. For the purposes of this Section 3(a), any good
faith interpretation by the Corporation of the foregoing definition of
"Cause" shall be conclusive on the Executive.
(b) Death or Disability.
(i) The Executive's employment will be
terminated by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates
automatically upon the Executive's death ("Death").
(ii) After having established the Executive's
Disability (as defined below), the Corporation may give to the Executive
written notice of the Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' or affiliates'
intention to terminate the Executive's employment for Disability. The
Executive's employment will terminate for Disability effective on the
thirtieth (30th) day after the Executive's receipt of such notice (the
"Disability Effective Date") if within such thirty (30) day period after
such receipt the Executive shall fail to return to full-time performance of
his duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" means disability
which after the expiration of more than twenty-six (26) weeks after its
commencement is determined to be total and permanent by a licensed
physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and reasonably
acceptable to the Executive or his legal representative.
In the event of the Executive's termination for Death or
Disability, the Executive and, to the extent applicable, his legal
representatives, executors, heirs, legatees and beneficiaries shall have no
rights under this Agreement and their sole recourse, if any, shall be under
the death or disability provisions of the plans, programs, policies and
practices of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates, as
appropriate.
3
<PAGE> 5
(c) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Corporation
or its subsidiaries or affiliates other than for Death shall be communicated by
a Notice of Termination to the Executive hereto given in accordance with
Section 9(b). For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" means
a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) if the Date of
Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such
notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than
fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice or, in the event of
Disability, the Disability Effective Date).
(d) Date of Termination. Date of Termination means the date
of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein, as
the case may be; provided, however, that if the Executive's employment is
terminated by reason of Death or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be
the date of Death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the
case may be.
(e) Severance Period. Unless terminated sooner pursuant to
Section 1, the Severance Period means the period set forth below depending on
the Executive's management level at the time the Notice of Termination was
given, which period shall begin on the day following the Executive's Date of
Termination:
Mgmt. Level 19 or above Three (3) years
Mgmt. Level 15-18 Two (2) years
Mgmt. Level 14 One (1) year and six (6) months
Mgmt. Level 13 One (1) year
Mgmt. Level 12 Nine (9) months
Mgmt. Level 11 Six (6) months
4. Obligations of the Corporation.
(a) Circumstances of Termination.
(i) If, during the term of this Agreement prior to a
Change of Control, the Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall
terminate the Executive's employment for any reason other than for Death,
Disability or Cause, the Corporation agrees to provide the Executive with
compensation, benefits and perquisites in accordance with the terms and
provisions set forth in Subsection (iii) below and the other provisions of this
Agreement, and the Executive agrees that he shall be subject to such terms and
provisions. The Executive shall not be deemed to have terminated his
employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and
thus shall not be entitled to any amounts or benefits pursuant to this
Agreement, if he leaves the employ of the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates for immediate reemployment with the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Additionally, notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall
4
<PAGE> 6
not be entitled to any amounts or benefits pursuant to this Agreement if,
as a result of the sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets
of one or more of the Corporation's subsidiaries or affiliates not
constituting a Change of Control, the Executive continues as an employee of
any of the companies whose stock or assets were sold or the Executive
leaves the employ of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and the Executive (A) is offered employment with the purchasing
company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (B) is offered
continuing employment with the Corporation or any of its remaining
subsidiaries or affiliates. In the event of the occurrence of any of the
events set forth in the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate
immediately and the Executive shall not be entitled to any amounts or
benefits hereunder; provided, however, that this Agreement shall continue
in effect if the Executive accepts the offer of continuing employment with
the Corporation or any of its remaining subsidiaries or affiliates.
(ii) If during the term of this Agreement, the
Executive shall terminate his employment with the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates for any reason, or the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or affiliates shall terminate the Executive's employment for
Death, Disability or Cause, then the Executive shall not be entitled to any
of the benefits set forth in Subsection (iii) below or in any other
provision of this Agreement, except to the extent of the amounts which
represent vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to
receive under any plan, program, policy or practice of the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates at or subsequent to the Executive's
Date of Termination.
(iii) If the Executive is entitled to receive
severance pay and benefits under Subsection (i) above, the Corporation
agrees to provide the Executive with the following compensation, benefits
and perquisites, subject to Section 5(b):
(I) Cash Entitlement. The Corporation shall
pay to the Executive the aggregate of the amounts determined
pursuant to clauses a through e below:
a. Unpaid Salary and Vacation. If
not already paid, the Executive's base salary and unused vacation
entitlement through the Executive's Date of Termination at the
rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination was given.
b. Salary Multiple. A continuation
of the Executive's annual base salary at the rate in effect at the
time the Notice of Termination was given ("Annual Base Salary")
for the Executive's applicable Severance Period (as defined in
Section 3(e)).
c. Bonus Multiple. An amount equal
to the product of (i) the Executive's Annual Base Salary
multiplied by (ii) the stated maximum bonus opportunity percentage
available to the Executive under the respective incentive
compensation plan immediately preceding the Notice of Termination
multiplied by (iii) the "Executive's Three Year Average Bonus
Percentage" (as defined below) (the product of (i), (ii) and (iii)
hereinafter referred to as the "Bonus Opportunity") multiplied by
(iv) the following
5
<PAGE> 7
multiple depending on the Executive's management level at the time the
Notice of Termination was given:
Mgmt. Level 17 or above 1
Mgmt. Level 11-16 0
The "Executive's Three Year Average Bonus Percentage" is the sum
of the bonus percentages paid to the Executive divided by the stated
maximum bonus opportunity percentages available to the Executive rounded to
one decimal place (e.g., 86.3%) for each of the three (3) fiscal years
immediately preceding the date the Notice of Termination was given divided
by three (3).
If the Executive has been employed by the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates for less than three (3) fiscal years at the time
the Notice of Termination was given, or if the Executive was not eligible
to receive an incentive compensation award pursuant to an incentive
compensation plan of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates
for one (1) or more of the three (3) fiscal years immediately preceding the
date the Notice of Termination was given, the bonus percentage to be
applied in the "Executive's Three Year Bonus Percentage" calculation for
any year in which the Executive was not employed or eligible to receive an
incentive award will be the average bonus percentage paid for such year to
all executives in the Corporation or the Executive's respective division,
as appropriate, with a stated maximum bonus opportunity level similar to
that of the Executive at the date the Notice of Termination was given
divided by the average stated maximum bonus opportunity percentage
available to these executives for such year rounded to one decimal place
(e.g., 86.3%).

d. Tenure - Related Bonus. An
amount equal to the product of the Bonus Opportunity determined in
clause c above multiplied by the number of the Executive's full
and prorated partial years of service with the Corporation and/or
its subsidiaries or affiliates, subject to a maximum of twelve
(12) years, divided by twelve (12).
e. Prior Year Bonus. If bonuses
for the calendar year prior to the Executive's Date of Termination
have been distributed and the Executive has not yet been paid his
incentive compensation award for such calendar year, and his Date
of Termination is subsequent to the incentive compensation award
payment date for such calendar year, then the Executive shall
receive an additional amount equal to the product of the actual
salary earned by the Executive during the prior calendar year
multiplied by the actual bonus percentage approved for the
Executive for such calendar year under the respective incentive
compensation plan.
The Executive agrees that he shall not be
eligible for or entitled to any other incentive compensation
award, including any pro rata incentive compensation award,
pursuant to the Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' or
affiliates' incentive compensation plans. The Executive's
agreement to this provision is a material consideration for the
Corporation's executing this Agreement.
The Corporation shall pay to the
Executive the amounts determined in clauses a through e above as
follows:
Clause a: In a lump sum no later than
the next normal pay period for the Executive, unless otherwise
required by law.
Clause b: In equal semi-monthly
installments on the fifteenth and last day of each month during
the Severance Period.
Clause c: No later than the first March
1st following the Executive's Date of Termination.
Clauses d and e: In a lump sum within
five (5) business days after the Executive's Date of Termination.
(II) Medical, Dental, Disability, Life
Insurance and Other Similar Plans and Programs. Until the
earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the Severance Period,
(ii) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible for the
designated coverage as an employee of another employer which
provides or offers such coverage to its employees, or (iii) in the
case of benefits requiring employee contributions, the date the
Executive fails to make such contributions pursuant to the
Corporation's or the plan's instructions or otherwise cancels his
coverage in accordance with plan provisions (the "Benefits
Continuation Period"), the Corporation shall continue to provide
all benefits which the
7
<PAGE> 9
Executive and/or his family is or would have been entitled to receive under
all medical, dental, disability, supplemental life, group life, and
accidental death and dismemberment insurance plans and programs, and other
similar plans and programs of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates not otherwise provided for in this Agreement, in each case on a
basis providing the Executive and/or his family with the opportunity to
receive benefits at least equal to those benefits provided by the
Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates for the Executive under
such plans and programs if and as in effect at the time the Notice of
Termination was given whether or not such plans or programs were in effect
at the time of the execution of this Agreement. The non-contributory
benefits will be paid for by the Corporation. The medical and dental plan
benefits, to the extent applicable, will be provided in accordance with the
provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of l985,
as amended ("COBRA"), except that the Corporation shall pay the COBRA
premiums for the standard medical and dental plan benefits during the
Benefits Continuation Period. If the Executive's participation in any such
plan or program is barred by COBRA or for any other reason, the Corporation
shall pay or provide for payment of such benefits or substantially similar
benefits to the Executive and/or his family. Failure of the Executive to
accept available coverage from another employer or to notify the
Corporation, in writing, within thirty (30) days of the Executive's
eligibility for coverage under another employer's plan shall terminate the
Severance Period and this Agreement immediately, and the Corporation shall
have no further obligations to the Executive under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Executive will, if applicable, continue to be
subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement. Upon termination
of his coverage under this paragraph, the Executive may be eligible under
COBRA to continue some of his benefits for an additional period of time.
Additionally, the Executive has thirty-one (31) days from the last day of
coverage in which to convert his group life insurance to an individual
policy. The Executive must arrange for conversion through an agent of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America, or such other insurance company as
is then providing coverage.
(III) Car. a. If, at the time the Notice of
Termination was given, the Executive was assigned a car and was in
management level 14 or above, within five (5) business days after the
Executive's Date of Termination, the Corporation shall transfer to the
Executive free and clear title to the car assigned to the Executive at the
time the Notice of Termination was given.
b. If, at the time the Notice of Termination was given,
the Executive was assigned a car and was in management level 13 or below,
then the following provisions will apply:
If the Executive has less than one (1) full year of service with
the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the Executive shall
have no right to purchase or receive from the Corporation the car assigned
to the Executive at the time the Notice
8
<PAGE> 10
of Termination was given since the Executive shall have no rights
under this Agreement pursuant to Section 4(c).
If the Executive has one (1) or more but fewer than five
(5) full years of service with the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates, the Executive may purchase from the
Corporation free and clear title to the car assigned to the
Executive at the time the Notice of Termination was given for
fifty percent (50%) of the average retail value of the car listed
in the National Automobile Dealer's Association, Official Used Car
Guide as of the date of the purchase.
If the Executive has completed five (5) or more full years
of service with the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, the Corporation shall transfer to the Executive free
and clear title to the car assigned to the Executive at the time
the Notice of Termination was given.
Purchase arrangements and title transfer must be completed
within five (5) business days after the Executive's Date of
Termination.
c. The Executive shall not be entitled to
any car telephone provided by the Corporation or its subsidiaries
or affiliates and such car telephone, if applicable, shall be
returned to the Corporation immediately upon title transfer. The
Executive will be responsible for the sales tax on transfer as
well as for all insurance, maintenance, taxes and other
liabilities associated with the car after title transfer.
Additionally, the Corporation shall assign to the Executive all
claims for breach of warranty and other similar matters against
the vendor and manufacturer of the car. The Executive agrees to
accept such car in an "As-Is" condition. THE EXECUTIVE WAS SOLELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR AND
THEREFORE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CORPORATION DOES NOT MAKE ANY
WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE CAR, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CONDITION OR
DESIGN OF THE CAR, ANY LATENT DEFECTS OF THE CAR, THE
MERCHANTABILITY OF THE CAR OR ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
d. Notwithstanding the Executive's
management level, if the Executive was receiving a car allowance
at the time the Notice of Termination was given, the Corporation
shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business
days after the Executive's Date of Termination, an amount equal to
the product of the Executive's monthly car allowance in effect at
the time the Notice of Termination was given multiplied by 12
multiplied by the following multiple depending on the Executive's
management level at the time the Notice of Termination was given:
Mgmt. Level 19 or above 3
Mgmt. Level 15-18 2
9
<PAGE> 11
Mgmt. Level 14 1.5
Mgmt. Level 13 1
Mgmt. Level 12 .75
Mgmt. Level 11 .5
(IV) Outplacement. Until the end of the Severance
Period or until the Executive obtains another full-time job, whichever
occurs first, the Corporation shall provide the Executive with professional
outplacement services of the Corporation's choice and shall reimburse the
Executive for documented incidental outplacement expenses directly related
to job search such as resume mailing, interviewing trips, and clerical
support, subject to a maximum cost of the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%)
of the Executive's Annual Base Salary (as defined in clause (I)b above), or
(ii) $20,000 if the Executive was in management level 11-19 at the time the
Notice of Termination was given or $30,000 if the Executive was above
management level 19 at the time the Notice of Termination was given. The
Executive shall not be entitled to receive cash in lieu of the professional
outplacement services provided by the Corporation.
(V) Perquisite, Country Club and Financial
Planning/Tax Preparation Allowances. For the twelve (12) month perquisite,
country club and financial planning/tax preparation payment period of the
Corporation or the Executive's respective division, as appropriate (i.e.,
January - December or September - August), in which the Notice of
Termination was given, if not yet paid, and one (1) additional twelve (12)
month period thereafter, but in no event for longer than the Severance
Period, the Corporation shall continue to provide the Executive with the
perquisite, country club and financial planning/tax preparation allowances,
as appropriate, the Executive would have been entitled to receive under the
plans, programs, policies and practices of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates (subject to the Corporation's receipt of
appropriate documented evidence of such expenses), in each case on a basis
providing the Executive with an opportunity to receive benefits at least
equal to those provided by the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries or
affiliates for the Executive under such plans, programs, policies and
practices if and as in effect at the time the Notice of Termination was
given.
(VI) Split-Dollar Life Insurance and Deferred
Compensation. Notwithstanding anything in the applicable agreements, plans
or policies to the contrary, if the Executive is covered by the
Corporation's split-dollar life insurance with its attendant deferred
compensation benefit at the time the Notice of Termination is given, and
the Executive wishes to retain both the life insurance coverage and its
future deferred compensation benefit, the Executive may purchase the policy
from the Corporation by paying the Corporation an amount equal to the cash
value of the policy. If the Executive elects to purchase the policy from
the Corporation, the Executive will have all the benefits inherent in
ownership of the whole-life policy, including the cash value of the policy.
10
<PAGE> 12
If the Executive wishes to retain the life insurance
coverage only, the Executive may convert the policy by forfeiting
the deferred compensation benefit. If the Executive chooses this
alternative, the Corporation will transfer ownership of the policy
to the Executive, and contemporaneously the Executive will execute
an agreement relinquishing the deferred compensation benefit.
This alternative transfers the entire cash value of the policy to
the Executive and relieves the Corporation of the administrative
record-keeping associated with the Executive's deferred
compensation benefit.
The Executive must notify the Corporation of his election
for the transfer of his split-dollar life insurance policy and
deferred compensation benefit within thirty (30) days following
the Executive's Date of Termination and the Corporation shall
complete the transfer immediately upon receipt of such notice and
the required payment or executed agreement.
(b) If a Change of Control occurs and the Executive
is then receiving severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 4(a) as a
result of his termination by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or
affiliates other than for Death, Disability or Cause prior to the Change of
Control, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum, within
five (5) business days after the Change of Control, an amount (in lieu of
future periodic payments) equal to the present value of all future cash
payments due to the Executive under this Agreement (including the maximum
outplacement and perquisite, country club and financial planning/tax
preparation allowances, as appropriate) using the First National Bank of
Boston's base or prime commercial lending rate then in effect for such
computation. The Corporation and the Executive shall continue to be liable
to each other for all of their other respective obligations under this
Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no amount shall be paid or payable under this Agreement unless
the Executive has been employed by the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries
or affiliates for at least twelve (12) consecutive months at the time of
his termination. In the event the Executive is employed for less than
twelve (12) consecutive months, the Executive hereby agrees that he shall
not receive or be entitled to anything under this Agreement.
5. Obligations of the Executive.
(a) Covenant of Confidentiality. All documents,
records, techniques, business secrets and other information of the
Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates which have or will come into
the Executive's possession from time to time during the Executive's
affiliation with the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and which the Corporation treats as confidential and proprietary
to the Corporation and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be
deemed as such by the Executive and, shall be the sole and exclusive
property of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and affiliates. The
Executive agrees that the Executive will keep confidential and not divulge
to any other party any of the Corporation's or its subsidiaries' or
11
<PAGE> 13
affiliates' confidential information and business secrets, including, but not
limited to, such matters as costs, profits, markets, sales, products, product
lines, key personnel, pricing policies, operational methods, customers,
customer requirements, suppliers, plans for future developments, and other
business affairs and methods and other information not readily available to the
public. Additionally, the Executive agrees that upon his termination of
employment, the Executive shall promptly return to the Corporation any and all
confidential and proprietary information of the Corporation and/or its
subsidiaries or affiliates that is in his possession.
(b) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall terminate the Executive's
employment for any reason other than for Death, Disability or Cause, and the
Executive shall elect to receive severance pay and benefits in accordance with
Section 4, the Executive shall be subject to the following additional
provisions:
(I) Covenant Against Competition. During the Severance
Period, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, directly or
indirectly engage or become a partner, director, officer,
principal, employee, consultant, investor, creditor or stockholder
in any business, proprietorship, association, firm or corporation
not owned or controlled by the Corporation or its subsidiaries or
affiliates which is engaged or proposes to engage or hereafter
engages in a business competitive directly with the business
conducted by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates in any geographic area where such business of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries or affiliates is conducted;
provided, however, that the Executive is not prohibited from
owning one percent (1%) or less of the outstanding capital stock
of any corporation whose stock is listed on a national securities
exchange.
During the Severance Period, the Executive shall not, either on
the Executive's own account or for any person, firm or company,
solicit, interfere with or induce, or attempt to induce, any
employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates to leave his employment or to breach his employment
agreement, if any.
12
<PAGE> 14
(II) Release. Upon his termination of employment,
the Executive shall execute a release agreement in the
form attached as Exhibit A and, to the extent applicable,
a resignation letter in the form attached as Exhibit B,
prior to and as a condition to receiving any payments or
benefits pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Specific Remedy. The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that if the Executive commits a material breach of the Covenant of
Confidentiality (Subsection (a) above) or the Covenant Against Competition
(clause (I) of Subsection (b) above), the Corporation shall have the right
to have the covenant specifically enforced by any court having appropriate
jurisdiction on the grounds that any such breach will cause irreparable
injury to the Corporation, and that money damages will not provide an
adequate remedy to the Corporation. The Executive further acknowledges and
agrees that the Covenant of Confidentiality and, if applicable, the
Covenant Against Competition contained in this Agreement are fair, do not
unreasonably restrict the Executive's future employment and business
opportunities, and are commensurate with the compensation arrangements set
out in this Agreement. In addition, once the Executive makes an election
to receive severance pay and benefits pursuant to Section 4 and is subject
to Subsection (b) above, the Executive shall have no right to return any
amounts or benefits that are already paid or to refuse to accept any
amounts or benefits that are payable in the future in lieu of his specific
performance of his obligations under Subsection (b) above.
6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation
in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or
practices provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything
herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have
under such plans, programs, policies or practices or under any stock option
or other agreements with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, specifically including but not limited to the Ryder System,
Inc. 1980 Stock Incentive Plan, the deferred compensation agreements, the
Corporation's and/or its subsidiaries' or affiliates' retirement, 401(k)
and profit sharing plans, the Ryder System, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan,
supplemental disability and retiree life insurance. In the event there are
any amounts which represent vested benefits or which the Executive is
otherwise entitled to receive under these or any other plans, programs,
policies or practices, including any plan, program, policy or practice
adopted after the execution of this Agreement, of the Corporation or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates at or subsequent to the Executive's Date of
Termination, the Corporation shall cause the relevant plan, program, policy
or practice to pay such amount, to the extent not already paid, in
accordance with the provisions of such plan, program, policy or practice.
The phrase "Termination Date" as used in the Ryder System, Inc. 1980 Stock
Incentive Plan shall mean the end of the Severance Period with respect to
Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to the Executive, if any, pursuant to
such plan, and the Executive's Date of Termination with respect to
Incentive Stock Options and Restricted Stock Rights granted to the
Executive, if any, thereunder. The last day of the Severance Period will
be considered to be the Executive's termination date for purposes of the
Executive's deferred compensation agreement(s), if any.
13
<PAGE> 15
7. No Mitigation. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to
seek other employment by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the
Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement nor, except as
specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, shall the amount of any
payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation or
benefits earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another
employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.
8. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and the
Executive does not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest
herein. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
Corporation and its successors.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION DEFERRAL AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of November 30, 1993, between Ryder
System, Inc. (the "Company") and ____________________________ (the
"Executive").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company has established an incentive compensation
plan, with respect to the performance of the Executive and the Company
during 1993, in which the Executive is eligible to participate; and
WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to enter into an
arrangement with respect to the deferred payment of a portion of such
incentive compensation upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
benefits set forth herein, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as
follows:
1. $ _______________ or _______________%, whichever is less, of the
Executive's 1993 incentive compensation award to be made in 1994,
less any deductions consented to in writing by the Executive,
shall be deferred by the Company.
2. The deferred incentive compensation is subject to FICA tax at the
time the incentive compensation award is made. Therefore, the
Executive and the Company agree that the FICA tax will be paid in
the manner determined by the Company. Interest will be computed
as set forth in Article 3 hereof on the amount of the incentive
compensation award deferred pursuant to Article 1 hereof.
The deferred incentive compensation plus interest computed as set
forth in Article 3 hereof (the "Deferred Compensation") shall be
payable to the Executive, the Executive's designated beneficiary,
or the Executive's estate as set forth in this Agreement.
3. Interest will be credited to the Executive's account at December
31st of each year. Interest will accrue at a rate equal to the
average annual base rate charged by the First National Bank of
Boston, compounded annually, provided, however, that such annual
interest rate will not exceed 12% nor be less than 5%. Interest

interest is actually paid.
Executive Initials ____________________
<PAGE> 3
The Executive may elect payment of the account balance either in
installments or in a lump sum. Installment payments will be computed by
dividing the combined total of deferred compensation and credited interest,
as of the prior year end, by the number of installments remaining. Lump
sum and final installment payments will include principal and interest
credited to the Executive's account as of the prior year end and all
interest accrued subsequently in the year of payment.
4. Deferred Compensation shall be paid to the Executive after the first to
occur of the listed events and in accordance with the method of payment and
commencement date selected by the Executive on the attached Exhibit A which
is made a part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of a Change of Control of the Company as defined by the Company's
Board of Directors on August 20, 1993, the Company shall immediately pay
the Deferred Compensation in a lump sum to the Executive.
The Executive should notify the Director of Corporate Accounting
immediately upon the occurrence of the triggering event to ensure timely
payment. For purposes of Exhibit A, the term "effective date" means the
Executive's last day of employment or the last day of the Executive's
severance period, if applicable, whichever occurs later.
For purposes of this Article 4, the Executive shall be deemed to be
continuously employed by the Company or any affiliate of the Company if the
Executive is re-employed by the Company or an affiliate of the Company
within four weeks of the date the Executive's employment first ceased.
5. The Executive shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who, in the
event of the Executive's death prior to the payment of any or all of the
Deferred Compensation pursuant to this Agreement, shall receive the unpaid
Deferred Compensation. Such designation shall be made by the Executive on
the form attached hereto. The Executive may, at any time, change or revoke
such designation by written notice to the Director of Compensation.
6. (a) If the Executive dies prior to receipt of any or all of the
Deferred Compensation, no Deferred Compensation shall be paid for
a period of thirty days from the date the Director of Compensation
receives written notice of the Executive's death.
(b) If the Executive has designated a beneficiary pursuant to Article
5 hereof, on the first day of the month following such thirty day
period, the unpaid Deferred Compensation shall be paid to the
designated beneficiary in a lump sum, unless the Executive's
beneficiary elects within such thirty day period, by written
notice to the Director of Compensation that the Deferred
Compensation be paid to such beneficiary in annual (2-10)
installments or not be paid at all.
(c) If the Executive does not designate a beneficiary or the
designated beneficiary predeceases the Executive or elects not to
receive the unpaid Deferred
2
<PAGE> 4
Compensation, the unpaid Deferred Compensation plus
accrued interest shall be paid to the Executive's estate
in a lump sum on the first day of the month following the
thirty day period.
(d) If the designated beneficiary dies after the Executive but
prior to the payment of the Deferred Compensation and has
not elected not to receive such Deferred Compensation, no
Deferred Compensation shall be paid for a period of thirty
days from the date the Director of Compensation receives
written notice of the death of the designated beneficiary.
The Deferred Compensation plus accrued interest shall then
be paid to the estate of the designated beneficiary in a
lump sum on the first day of the month following such
thirty day period.
7. The Company shall pay to the Executive during the term of the
Executive's employment that portion of the Deferred Compensation
which shall be necessary in the case of an unforeseeable
emergency. For purposes of this Article 7 an unforeseeable
emergency shall mean an unanticipated emergency that is caused by
an event beyond the control of the Executive and that would result
in severe financial hardship to the Executive if early withdrawal
were not permitted. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") shall
limit any early withdrawal to the amount necessary to meet the
emergency. The Executive shall apply to the Compensation
Committee for any emergency payment under this Article 7 and shall
furnish to the Compensation Committee such information as the
Executive deems appropriate and as the Company and counsel for the
Company deem necessary and appropriate to make such determination.
The determination of the Compensation Committee as to whether a
payment is warranted under this Article 7, and the amount of such
payment, shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive and the
Company.
8. The Deferred Compensation shall be paid out of the general funds
of the Company and no funds shall be set aside therefor. The
Executive shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of
the Company and this Agreement constitutes a mere promise by the
Company to make benefit payments in the future. It is the
intention of the parties that the arrangements be unfunded for tax
purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
9. Any rights to receive Deferred Compensation payments under this
Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Executive or the
Executive's beneficiary. Any such attempted action shall be null
and void and shall extinguish the Company's obligation under this
Agreement to pay Deferred Compensation.
10. For purposes of determining deferrals or entitlements under
certain other benefit programs maintained by the Company in which
the Executive participates including, but not limited to, the
Company's Retirement Plan and the Company's Employee Savings Plan,
any amount of incentive compensation deferred pursuant to this
Agreement will not be
3
<PAGE> 5
included in the Executive's compensation base unless and until such
deferred amount is paid to the Executive while the Executive is employed by
the Company or any affiliate of the Company.
11. The Executive and the Company acknowledge that this Agreement is not an
employment agreement between the Executive and the Company, and that the
Company and the Executive each has the right to terminate the Executive's
employment at any time for any reason unless there is a written employment
contract to the contrary.
12. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor to the Company by
merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise.
13. This Agreement, together with the Executive's beneficiary designation,
constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Executive
regarding the Deferred Compensation and shall not be modified except upon
the written agreement of the Company and the Executive.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Executive is serving as an executive of the Company

1. $________________ of the Executive's 1994 annual salary shall be
deferred by the Company, in equal installments, from the
semi-monthly salary payments paid to the Executive during such

salary payments are made. Therefore, the Executive and the
Company agree that the FICA tax will be paid in the manner
determined by the Company. Such deferred salary plus interest
computed and accrued as set forth in Article 2 hereof (the
"Deferred Compensation") shall be payable to the Executive, the
Executive's designated beneficiary, or the Executive's estate as
set forth in this Agreement.
2. Interest will be credited to the Executive's account at December

interest rate will not exceed 12% nor be less than 5%. Interest
will accrue on the average daily balance of the Executive's
account beginning with the date on which the deferred compensation
or accrued interest is credited to the Executive's account and
ending with the date on which the deferred compensation or accrued
interest is actually paid.
The Executive may elect payment of the account balance either in
installments or in a lump sum. Installment payments will be
computed by dividing the combined total of deferred compensation
and credited interest, as of the prior year end, by the number of
installments remaining. Lump sum and final installment payments

interest rate will not exceed 12% nor be less than 5%. Interest
will accrue on the average daily balance of the Director's account
beginning with the date on which the deferred compensation or
accrued interest is credited to the Director's account and ending
with the date on which the deferred compensation or accrued
interest is actually paid.
The Director may elect payment of the account balance either in
installments or in a lump sum. Installment payments will be
computed by dividing the combined total of deferred compensation
and credited interest, as of the prior year end, by the number of
installments remaining. Lump sum and final installment payments
will include principal and interest credited to the Director's
account as of the prior year end and all interest accrued
subsequently in the year of payment.

3. Deferred Compensation shall be paid to the Director after the first to
occur of the listed events and in accordance with the method of payment and
commencement date selected by the Director on the attached Exhibit A which
is made a part of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of a Change of Control of the Company as defined by the Company's
Board of Directors on August 20, 1993, the Company shall immediately pay
the Deferred Compensation in a lump sum to the Director.
The Director should notify the Director of Corporate Accounting immediately
upon the occurrence of the triggering event to ensure timely payment.
4. The Director shall have the right to designate a beneficiary who, in the
event of the Director's death prior to payment of any or all of the
Deferred Compensation payable to the Director pursuant to this Agreement,
shall receive such Deferred Compensation. Such designation shall be made
by the Director on the form attached hereto. The Director may, at any
time, change or revoke such designation by written notice to the Director
of Compensation.
5. (a) If the Director dies prior to receipt of any or all of the
Deferred Compensation, no Deferred Compensation shall be paid for
a period of thirty days from the date the Director of Compensation
receives written notice of the Director's death.
(b) If the Director has designated a beneficiary pursuant to Article 4
hereof, on the first day of the month following such thirty day
period, the unpaid Deferred Compensation shall be paid to the
designated beneficiary in a lump sum, unless the Director's
beneficiary elects within such thirty day period, by written
notice to the Director of Compensation, that the Deferred
Compensation be paid to such beneficiary in annual (2-10)
installments or not be paid at all.
(c) If the Director does not designate a beneficiary or the designated
beneficiary predeceases the Director or elects not to receive the
unpaid Deferred Compensation, then the unpaid Deferred
Compensation plus accrued interest shall be paid to the Director's
estate in a lump sum on the first day of the month following such
thirty day period.
(d) If the designated beneficiary of the Director dies after the
Director, but prior to the payment of the Deferred Compensation,
and has not elected not to receive such Deferred Compensation, no
Deferred Compensation shall be paid for a period of thirty days
from the date the Director of Compensation receives written notice
of the death of the designated beneficiary. The Deferred
Compensation plus accrued interest shall then be paid to the
estate of the designated beneficiary in a lump sum on the first
day of the month following such thirty day period.

<PAGE> 4
6. The Company shall pay to the Director during the term of the
Director's service that portion of the Deferred Compensation which
shall be necessary in the case of an unforeseeable emergency. For
purposes of this Article 6 an unforeseeable emergency shall mean
an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the
control of the Director and that would result in severe financial
hardship to the Director if early withdrawal were not permitted.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Compensation Committee") shall limit any early
withdrawal to the amount necessary to meet the emergency. The
Director shall apply to the Compensation Committee for any
emergency payment under this Article 6 and shall furnish to the
Compensation Committee such information as the Director deems
appropriate and as the Company and counsel for the Company deem
necessary and appropriate to make such determination. The
determination of the Compensation Committee as to whether a
payment is warranted under this Article 6, and the amount of such
payment, shall be conclusive and binding on the Director and the
Company. If the Director is a member of the Compensation
Committee, the Director shall not sit as a member of such
Committee in the determination of the Director's application under
this Article 6.
7. The Deferred Compensation shall be paid out of the general funds
of the Company and no funds shall be set aside therefor. The
Director shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of
the Company and this Agreement constitutes a mere promise by the
Company to make benefit payments in the future. It is the
intention of the parties that the arrangements be unfunded for tax
purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").
8. Any rights to receive Deferred Compensation payments under this
Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, or garnishment by creditors of the Director or the
Director's beneficiary. Any such attempted action shall be null
and void and shall extinguish the Company's obligation under this
Agreement to pay Deferred Compensation.
9. The Director and the Company acknowledge that this Agreement is
not an agreement concerning continued service as a Director
between the Director and the Company.
10. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successor to the Company
by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise.
11. This Agreement, together with the Director's beneficiary
designation, constitutes the entire agreement between the Company
and the Director regarding Deferred Compensation and shall not be
modified except upon the written agreement of the Company and the
Director.

BONUS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
For 1994, your bonus payout will be based on RSI performance, VLSD performance,
and your performance as an individual.
RSI performance is measured based on a combination of RSI Net Earnings After
Tax (NAT) Return on Assets (ROA) performance and RSI Net Earnings Before Tax
(NBT) performance for 1994.
VLSD performance is measured based on a combination of VLSD NAT ROA performance
and VLSD NBT performance for 1994.
<PAGE> 3
RYDER
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
HEADQUARTERS BONUS PLAN SUMMARY
1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 2
Individual performance is determined based on a year-end assessment of your
performance against objectives that you and your supervisor agreed to at the
start of the year. Given their importance, the objectives should be in writing
and updated during the year to adjust for priorities that may have changed.
DEFINITION OF MEASURES
Performance levels attained in the following areas determine the extent to
which participants of this bonus plan are eligible for bonus awards.
- RSI PERFORMANCE -- RSI performance payout is based on a grid
which combines RSI ROA performance and RSI NBT performance.
RSI ROA performance for the bonus year is calculated by
dividing RSI NAT by RSI average assets.
-- RSI NAT is defined as RSI's consolidated Net Earnings
After Tax for the bonus year, as certified to the
Board of Directors and shareholders of RSI by the
Company's independent auditors, including appropriate
accruals for all incentive awards estimated to be
payable for that bonus year.
-- RSI average assets is defined as the average of the
four quarters' average assets. A quarter's average
assets is defined as the assets, as shown on RSI's
balance sheet at the beginning of each quarter plus
the total assets as shown on RSI's balance sheet at
the end of each quarter, divided by two.
RSI NBT performance is defined as RSI's consolidated Net
Earnings Before Tax as certified to the Board of Directors and
shareholders of RSI by the Company's independent auditors, net
of a provision for the total of all incentive awards, for the
bonus year.

RYDER
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
HEADQUARTERS BONUS PLAN SUMMARY
1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 3
- VLSD PERFORMANCE -- VLSD performance payout is based on a grid
which combines VLSD ROA performance and VLSD NBT performance.
VLSD ROA performance for the bonus year is calculated by
dividing VLSD NAT by VLSD average assets.
-- VLSD NAT performance is defined as VLSD's
consolidated Net Earnings After Tax for the bonus
year, as certified to the Board of Directors and
shareholders of RSI by the Company's independent
auditors, including appropriate accruals for all
incentive awards estimated to be payable for that
bonus year.
-- VLSD average assets is defined as the average of the
four quarters' average assets. A quarter's average
assets is defined as the assets, as shown on VLSD's
balance sheet at the beginning of each quarter plus
the total assets as shown on VLSD's balance sheet at
the end of each quarter, divided by two.
VLSD NBT is defined as VLSD's consolidated Net Earnings Before
Tax as certified to the Board of Directors and shareholders of
RSI by the Company's independent auditors, net of a provision
for the total of all incentive awards, for the bonus year.
- INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE -- Individual performance is defined as
each participant's performance against job requirements and
objectives (MBOs), as agreed upon between the individual and
his/her management, at the beginning of the bonus year. If
necessary, goals and objectives may be revised during the
bonus year to reflect changing business priorities.
Individual performance awards are separate from payments based
upon ROA and NBT performance, and may be paid, in part or in
whole, based on RSI's and VLSD's performance and/or ability to
pay. Such payments are subject to the recommendation of the
Administrator of the plan and approval by the Board of
Directors of RSI.
NOTE: The effects of any unusual and material accounting
transactions may be excluded from bonus calculations with the
approval of the Board of Directors of RSI.

BONUS CALCULATION
Bonus awards are based on the following grids.
1) RSI PERFORMANCE
RSI performance payout is based on a grid consisting of two
performance variables: 1994 Actual RSI NBT and 1994 RSI NAT ROA. The
potential bonus payout percent is determined by locating the point on
the grid where the variables intersect. Actual performance may fall
between the points specifically displayed on the grid, and the grid
allows for interpolation between NBT points as shown. No bonus awards
will be paid for performance below threshold. The potential bonus
payout is expressed as a percentage of Maximum RSI Performance Bonus
Opportunity, as shown on page 1, by Management Level.

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $50,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$53,000:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year:

SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

HEADQUARTERS BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 1
ADMINISTRATION
The Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of RSI will administer
this Incentive Compensation Plan.
BONUS YEAR
The bonus year is defined as the calendar year in which bonus awards are
earned.
ELIGIBILITY
Employees whose positions are designated on page 1 of the Bonus Plan Summary
and who are employed in good standing at the time bonus payments are made are
eligible to participate in this plan. Individuals who have agreements which
specifically provide for incentive compensation other than that which is
provided in this plan or who are participants in any other incentive
compensation plan of RSI, its subsidiaries or affiliates are not eligible to
participate in this plan.
Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company or VLSD during the bonus year
under any of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus
awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the
greater of actual individual performance or 80% of maximum individual
performance opportunity.

RYDER
EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT
HEADQUARTERS BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1993 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 2
However, if the Company fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6"
accounting firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and
individual performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the
bonus year. The Company will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses
which participants may reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the
plan in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1994, participants will receive
instructions regarding the collection of incentive awards.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON TERMINATION
Participants leaving the Company or VLSD under any conditions other than those
outlined in the Eligibility or Change of Control sections of this plan are not
eligible for bonus awards for the bonus year in which they leave, nor are they
eligible for awards for the preceding bonus year, if such awards have not yet
been distributed.
BONUS PAYMENT
Shortly after the end of the calendar year and after considering the
recommendations of the Administrator of the plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the full Board of Directors of RSI will, in its sole
discretion, determine the participants, if any, who will receive bonus awards
and the amounts of such awards. Bonus award payments will be distributed to
eligible participants following such Board or Committee approval and subsequent
to certification of consolidated financial statements by an independent
auditor.
BONUS FUNDING
A maximum of 2.5% of consolidated RSI NBT and 10% of VLSD NBT may be accrued by
RSI and VLSD, respectively, throughout the bonus year to fund all awards under
this bonus plan, the VLSD field bonus plans, the RSI SEVP Incentive
Compensation Plan, the Ryder International Incentive Compensation Plan, and the
Ryder Services Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan, as well as any
incentive or bonus payments resulting from employment commitments or
agreements. Accruals for the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
of RSI, the President of Commercial Leasing & Services, the President of
Consumer Rental, the President of Ryder Dedicated Logistics, and all
discretionary awards are excluded from this funding limitation.
Bonus payout maximums are limited by the lower of the total earned opportunity
provided under the plan, the amount of the accrual, or the funding limitation.
Should the funding limitation or accrual not provide for bonus allotments under
the plan, proration will be effected at the discretion of the Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI. Unused monies from the fund may
not be carried forward for subsequent bonus years.

DISCRETIONARY AWARDS
With the approval of the Board of Directors of RSI, the Chairman, President,
and Chief Executive Officer of RSI has the authority to grant discretionary
bonus awards for exemplary performance to non-participants or to enhance the
awards of participants. Discretionary awards are not subject to the funding
limitations of this plan.
While it is common to grant discretionary awards at the same time as regular
awards, it may be appropriate, on occasion, to recognize an employee off-cycle
due to extremely unusual performance. Off-cycle discretionary awards must be
approved by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
The total of all discretionary awards for employees under this plan, the VLSD
field bonus plans, the RSI SEVP Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder
International Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder Services Corporation
Incentive Compensation Plan, and all Division Presidents' Incentive
Compensation Plans including those granted off-cycle, may not exceed $430,000
per year.
AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors of RSI reviews RSI's, its subsidiaries' and affiliates'
incentive compensation plans annually to ensure equitability both within the
Company, and in relation to current economic conditions. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND, SUSPEND, TERMINATE OR MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO
THIS PLAN AT ANY TIME.

DEFINITION OF MEASURES
Performance levels attained in the following areas determine the extent to
which participants of this bonus plan are eligible for bonus awards.
- RSI PERFORMANCE -- RSI performance payout is based on a grid
which combines RSI ROA performance and RSI NBT performance.
RSI ROA performance for the bonus year is calculated by
dividing RSI NAT by RSI average assets.
-- RSI NAT is defined as RSI's consolidated Net Earnings
After Tax for the bonus year, as certified to the
Board of Directors and shareholders of RSI by the
Company's independent auditors, including appropriate
accruals for all incentive awards estimated to be

BONUS CALCULATION
Bonus awards are based on the following grids.
1) RSI PERFORMANCE
RSI performance payout is based on a grid consisting of two
performance variables: 1994 Actual RSI NBT and 1994 RSI NAT ROA. The
potential bonus payout percent is determined by locating the point on
the grid where the variables intersect. Actual performance may fall
between the points specifically displayed on the grid, and the grid
allows for interpolation between NBT points as shown. No bonus awards
will be paid for performance below threshold. The potential bonus
payout is expressed as a percentage of Maximum RSI Performance Bonus
Opportunity, as shown on page 1.

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $350,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$370,000:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $350,000/yr. = $144,900
---------------------- ---

365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $370,000/yr. = $216,820
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $361,720
</TABLE>
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.
<PAGE> 9

SENIOR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 1
ADMINISTRATION
The Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of RSI will administer
this Incentive Compensation Plan.
BONUS YEAR
The bonus year is defined as the calendar year in which bonus awards are
earned.
ELIGIBILITY
Employees whose positions are designated on page 1 of the Bonus Plan Summary
and who are employed in good standing at the time bonus payments are made are
eligible to participate in this plan. Individuals who have agreements which
specifically provide for incentive compensation other than that which is
provided in this plan or who are participants in any other incentive
compensation plan of RSI, its subsidiaries or affiliates are not eligible to
participate in this plan.
Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company during the bonus year under any
of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the
greater of actual individual performance or 80% of maximum individual
performance opportunity.
<PAGE> 10
RYDER
SENIOR EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1994 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 2
However, if the Company fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6"
accounting firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and
individual performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the
bonus year. The Company will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses
which participants may reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the
plan in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1994, participants will receive
instructions regarding the collection of incentive awards.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON TERMINATION
Participants leaving the Company under any conditions other than those outlined
in the Eligibility or Change of Control sections of this plan are not eligible
for bonus awards for the bonus year in which they leave, nor are they eligible
for awards for the preceding bonus year, if such awards have not yet been
distributed.
BONUS PAYMENT
Shortly after the end of the calendar year and after considering the
recommendations of the Administrator of the plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the full Board of Directors of RSI will, in its sole
discretion, determine the participants, if any, who will receive bonus awards
and the amounts of such awards. Bonus award payments will be distributed to
eligible participants following such Board or Committee approval and subsequent
to certification of consolidated financial statements by an independent
auditor.
BONUS FUNDING
A maximum of 2.5% of consolidated RSI NBT and 10% of VLSD NBT may be accrued by
RSI and VLSD, respectively, throughout the bonus year to fund all awards under
this bonus plan, the VLSD field bonus plans, the Headquarters Executive
Management Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder International Incentive
Compensation Plan, and the Ryder Services Corporation Incentive Compensation
Plan, as well as any incentive or bonus payments resulting from employment
commitments or agreements. Accruals for the Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of RSI, the President of Commercial Leasing & Services, the
President of Consumer Rental, the President of Ryder Dedicated Logistics, and
all discretionary awards are excluded from this funding limitation.
Bonus payout maximums are limited by the lower of the total earned opportunity
provided under the plan, the amount of the accrual, or the funding limitation.
Should the funding limitation or accrual not provide for bonus allotments under
the plan, proration will be effected at the discretion of the Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI. Unused monies from the fund may
not be carried forward for subsequent bonus years.

DISCRETIONARY AWARDS
With the approval of the Board of Directors of RSI, the Chairman, President,
and Chief Executive Officer of RSI has the authority to grant discretionary
bonus awards for exemplary performance to non-participants or to enhance the
awards of participants. Discretionary awards are not subject to the funding
limitations of this plan.
While it is common to grant discretionary awards at the same time as regular
awards, it may be appropriate, on occasion, to recognize an employee off-cycle
due to extremely unusual performance. Off-cycle discretionary awards must be
approved by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
The total of all discretionary awards for employees under this plan, the VLSD
field bonus plans, the Headquarters Executive Management Incentive Compensation
Plan, the Ryder International Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder Services
Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan, and all Division Presidents' Incentive
Compensation Plans including those granted off-cycle, may not exceed $430,000
per year.
AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors of RSI reviews RSI's, its subsidiaries' and affiliates'
incentive compensation plans annually to ensure equitability both within the
Company, and in relation to current economic conditions. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND, SUSPEND, TERMINATE OR MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO
THIS PLAN AT ANY TIME.

Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company during the bonus year under any
of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability.
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of RSI (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on August
20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in a
trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by RSI. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time employed during
the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company performance or 80%
of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the greater of actual
individual performance or 80% of maximum individual performance opportunity.
However, if RSI fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6" accounting
firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and individual
performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the bonus year.
RSI will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses which participants may
reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the plan in the event of a
Change of Control of RSI.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1994, participants will receive
instructions regarding the collection of incentive awards.

BONUS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
For 1994, your bonus payout will be based on Ryder System, Inc. (RSI or the
Company) performance, ACD performance, and your performance as an individual.
RSI performance is measured based on a combination of RSI Net Earnings After
Tax (NAT) Return on Assets (ROA) performance and RSI Net Earnings Before Tax
(NBT) performance for 1994.
ACD performance is measured based on ACD Net Earnings Before Tax (NBT)
performance for 1994.
Individual performance is determined based on a year-end assessment of your
performance against objectives that you and your supervisor agreed to at the
start of the year. Given their importance, the objectives should be in writing
and updated during the year to adjust for priorities that may have changed.
DEFINITION OF MEASURES
Performance levels attained in the following areas determine the extent to
which participants of this bonus plan are eligible for bonus awards.
- RSI PERFORMANCE -- RSI performance payout is based on a grid
which combines RSI ROA performance and RSI NBT performance.
RSI ROA performance for the bonus year is calculated by
dividing RSI NAT ROA by RSI average assets.

-- RSI NAT is defined as RSI's consolidated Net Earnings
After Tax for the bonus year, as certified to the
Board of Directors and shareholders of RSI by the
Company's independent auditors, including appropriate
accruals for all incentive awards estimated to be
payable for that bonus year.
-- RSI average assets is defined as the average of the
four quarters' average assets. A quarter's average
assets is defined as the assets, as shown on RSI's
balance sheet at the beginning of each quarter plus
the total assets as shown on RSI's balance sheet at
the end of each quarter, divided by two.
RSI NBT is defined as RSI's consolidated Net Earnings
Before Tax as certified to the Board of Directors and
shareholders of RSI by the Company's independent
auditors, net of a provision for the total of all
incentive awards, for the bonus year.
- ACD PERFORMANCE -- ACD performance payout is based on ACD NBT.
ACD NBT is defined as ACD's consolidated and combined Net
Earnings Before Tax as certified to the Board of Directors and
shareholders of RSI by the Company's independent auditors,
before eliminations, net of a provision for the total of all

each participant's performance against job requirements and
objectives (MBOs), as agreed upon between the individual and
his/her management, at the beginning of the bonus year. If
necessary, goals and objectives may be revised during the
bonus year to reflect changing business priorities.
Individual performance awards are separate from payments based
upon ROA and NBT performance, and may be paid, in part or in
whole, based on ACD's and RSI's performance and/or ability to
pay. Such payments are subject to the recommendation of the
Administrator of the plan and approval by the Board of
Directors of RSI.
NOTE: The effects of any unusual and material accounting
transactions may be excluded from bonus calculations
with the approval of the Board of Directors of RSI.
BONUS CALCULATION
Bonus awards are based on the following grids.
1) RSI PERFORMANCE
RSI performance payout is based on a grid consisting of two
performance variables: 1994 Actual RSI NBT and 1994 RSI NAT ROA. The
potential bonus payout percent is determined by locating the point on
the grid where the variables intersect. Actual performance may fall
between the points specifically displayed on the grid, and the grid
allows for interpolation between NBT points as shown. No bonus awards
will be paid for performance below threshold. The potential bonus
payout is expressed as a percentage of Maximum RSI Performance Bonus
Opportunity, as shown on page 1.

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $148,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$157,000:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $148,000/yr. = $ 61,272
---------------------- ---
365 days 365
June 1 thru December 31 of Bonus Year
365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $157,000/yr. = $ 92,002
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $153,274
</TABLE>
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of
$725,000, then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base
salary of $760,000:
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year:
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $725,000/yr. = $ 300,150
---------------------- ---
365 days 365
June 1 thru December 31 of Bonus Year:
365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $760,000/yr. = $ 445,360
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $ 745,510
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

ADMINISTRATION
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of RSI will administer
this Incentive Compensation Plan.
BONUS YEAR
The bonus year is defined as the calendar year in which bonus awards are
earned.
ELIGIBILITY
The Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer of RSI, if employed in good
standing at the time bonus payments are made is eligible to participate in this
plan. If the CEO has an agreement which specifically provides for incentive
compensation other than that which is provided in this plan or is a participant
in any other incentive compensation plan of RSI, its subsidiaries or
affiliates, he/she is not eligible to participate in this plan.
Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company during the bonus year under any
of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the
greater of actual individual performance or 80% of maximum individual
performance opportunity.

However, if the Company fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6"
accounting firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and
individual performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the
bonus year. The Company will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses
which participants may reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the
plan in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1994, participants will receive
instructions regarding the collection of incentive awards.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON TERMINATION
Participants leaving the Company under any conditions other than those outlined
in the Eligibility or Change of Control sections of this plan are not eligible
for bonus awards for the bonus year in which they leave, nor are they eligible
for awards for the preceding bonus year, if such awards have not yet been
distributed.
BONUS PAYMENT
Shortly after the end of the calendar year and after considering the
recommendations of the Administrators of the plan, the full Board of Directors
of RSI will, in its sole discretion, determine the participants, if any, who
will receive bonus awards and the amounts of such awards. Bonus award payments
will be distributed to eligible participants following such Board approval and
subsequent to certification of consolidated financial statements by an
independent auditor.
BONUS FUNDING
Accruals for the CEO and all discretionary awards are excluded from funding
limitations.
Bonus payout maximums are limited by the lower of the total earned opportunity
provided under the plan or the amount of the accrual. Should the accrual not
provide for bonus allotments under the plan, proration will be effected at the
discretion of the Board of Directors of RSI. Unused monies may not be carried
forward for subsequent bonus years.
DISCRETIONARY AWARDS
With the approval of the Board of Directors of RSI, the Administrators of this
plan have the authority to grant discretionary bonus awards to enhance the
award of the participant of this plan. Discretionary awards are not subject to
funding limitations.
AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors of RSI reviews RSI's, its subsidiaries' and affiliates'
incentive compensation plans annually to ensure equitability both within the
Company, and in relation to current economic conditions. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND, SUSPEND, TERMINATE OR MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO
THIS PLAN AT ANY TIME.

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $260,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$276,000:
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year:
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $260,000/yr. = $107,640
---------------------- ---
365 days 365
June 1 thru December 31 of Bonus Year:
365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $276,000/yr. = $161,736
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $269,376
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

The Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of RSI will administer
this Incentive Compensation Plan.
BONUS YEAR
The bonus year is defined as the calendar year in which bonus awards are
earned.
ELIGIBILITY
The President, Commercial Leasing & Services, if employed in good standing at
the time bonus payments are made is eligible to participate in this plan. If
the President, Commercial Leasing & Services has an agreement which
specifically provides for incentive compensation other than that which is
provided in this plan or is a participant in any other incentive compensation
plan of RSI, its subsidiaries or affiliates, he/she is not eligible to
participate in this plan.
Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company or VLSD during the bonus year
under any of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus
awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the
greater of actual individual performance or 80% of maximum individual
performance opportunity.

However, if the Company fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6"
accounting firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and
individual performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the
bonus year. The Company will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses
which participants may reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the
plan in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1994, participants will receive

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $175,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$185,000:
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year:
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $175,000/yr. = $ 72,450
---------------------- ---
365 days 365
June 1 thru December 31 of Bonus Year:
365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $185,000/yr. = $108,410
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $180,860
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company or VLSD during the bonus year
under any of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus
awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or

of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the

BASE SALARY CALCULATION
For the purpose of bonus calculations, base salary is defined as the average
annual rate of pay for the calendar year, excluding all other compensation paid
to the employee during the year, e.g. bonus, commissions, employee benefits,
moving expenses, and imputed income from company car, insurance, and amounts
attributable to any of the Company's stock plans.
Average annual rate of pay for a participant whose base salary changes within
the bonus year is calculated as shown below.
BASE SALARY CALCULATION EXAMPLE
Average annual rate of pay would be calculated as follows for a
participant who begins a bonus year with a base salary of $205,000,
then effective June 1 receives an increase to a base salary of
$218,000:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
January 1 thru May 31 of Bonus Year:
31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 = 151=.414 x $205,000/yr. = $ 84,870
---------------------- ---
365 days 365
June 1 thru December 31 of Bonus Year:
365 - 151 = 214=.586 x $218,000/yr. = $127,748
--------- ---
365 days 365
AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE OF PAY FOR BONUS YEAR = $212,618
</TABLE>
SPECIAL ROE AWARD
One and one-half percent of the RSI NAT amount in excess of that required to
reach 17% Return on Equity (ROE) will be credited to deferred compensation for
elected Officers of the Company and the Division Presidents. This amount will
be prorated based on each individual participant's earned salary (while in the
eligible position) in relation to the sum of the earned salaries of all
participants.

PRESIDENT
RYDER DEDICATED LOGISTICS
VEHICLE LEASING & SERVICES DIVISION BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1993 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 1
ADMINISTRATION
The Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of RSI will administer
this Incentive Compensation Plan.
BONUS YEAR
The bonus year is defined as the calendar year in which bonus awards are
earned.
ELIGIBILITY
The President, Ryder Dedicated Logistics, if employed in good standing at the
time bonus payments are made is eligible to participate in this plan. If the
President, Ryder Dedicated Logistics has an agreement which specifically
provides for incentive compensation other than that which is provided in this
plan or is a participant in any other incentive compensation plan of RSI, its
subsidiaries or affiliates, he/she is not eligible to participate in this plan.
Employees who are newly hired, promoted or transferred into or out of eligible
positions and those who move from one eligibility level to another will receive
pro rata bonus awards based on the average annual rate of pay in eligible
positions, provided they are employed in good standing at the time bonus awards
are distributed.
In addition, participants who leave the Company or VLSD during the bonus year
under any of the following conditions may be eligible for pro rata bonus
awards:
- retirement under the provisions of one of the Company's
retirement plans or the Social Security Act, or
- disability
Note: The spouse or legal representative of a deceased participant may be
eligible for pro rata bonus awards as well.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON CHANGE OF CONTROL
Notwithstanding anything in this plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change
of Control of the Company (as defined and adopted by the Board of Directors on
August 20, 1993), the funds necessary to pay incentive awards will be placed in
a trust administered by an outside financial institution.
The amount of each participant's incentive award will be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the plan by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen
by the Company. Participants will receive bonus awards for actual time
employed during the bonus year based upon: a) the greater of actual company
performance or 80% of maximum company performance opportunity plus b) the
greater of actual individual performance or 80% of maximum individual
performance opportunity.

PRESIDENT
RYDER DEDICATED LOGISTIC
VEHICLE LEASING & SERVICES DIVISION BONUS PLAN ADMINISTRATION
1993 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN PAGE 2
However, if the Company fails to verify incentive awards through a "Big 6"
accounting firm, participants will receive 100% of their maximum company and
individual performance opportunities based on actual time worked during the
bonus year. The Company will be responsible for all legal fees and expenses
which participants may reasonably incur in enforcing their rights under the
plan in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.
Should a Change of Control occur during 1993, participants will receive
instructions regarding the collection of incentive awards.
BONUS ELIGIBILITY ON TERMINATION
Participants leaving the Company or VLSD under any conditions other than those
outlined in the Eligibility or Change of Control sections of this plan are not
eligible for bonus awards for the bonus year in which they leave, nor are they
eligible for awards for the preceding bonus year, if such awards have not yet
been distributed.
BONUS PAYMENT
Shortly after the end of the calendar year and after considering the
recommendations of the Administrator of the plan, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the full Board of Directors of RSI will, in its sole
discretion, determine the participants, if any, who will receive bonus awards
and the amounts of such awards. Bonus award payments will be distributed to
eligible participants following such Board or Committee approval and subsequent
to certification of consolidated financial statements by an independent
auditor.
BONUS FUNDING
Accruals for the President, Ryder Dedicated Logistics, and all discretionary
awards are excluded from funding limitations.
Bonus payout maximums are limited by the lower of the total earned opportunity
provided under the plan or the amount of the accrual. Should the accrual not
provide for bonus allotments under the plan, proration will be effected at the
discretion of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
Unused monies may not be carried forward for subsequent bonus years.

DISCRETIONARY AWARDS
With the approval of the Board of Directors of RSI, the Chairman, President,
and Chief Executive Officer of RSI has the authority to grant discretionary
bonus awards for exemplary performance to non-participants or to enhance the
awards of participants. Discretionary awards are not subject to the funding
limitations of this plan.
While it is common to grant discretionary awards at the same time as regular
awards, it may be appropriate, on occasion, to recognize an employee off-cycle
due to extremely unusual performance. Off-cycle discretionary awards must be
approved by the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of RSI.
The total of all discretionary awards for employees under this plan, the VLSD
field bonus plans, the RSI SEVP Incentive Compensation Plan, the Headquarters
Executive Management Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder International
Incentive Compensation Plan, the Ryder Services Corporation Incentive
Compensation Plan, and all Division Presidents' Incentive Compensation Plans,
including those granted off-cycle, may not exceed $430,000 per year.
AMENDMENTS
The Board of Directors of RSI reviews RSI's, its subsidiaries' and affiliates'
incentive compensation plans annually to ensure equitability both within the
Company, and in relation to current economic conditions. THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AMEND, SUSPEND, TERMINATE OR MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO
THIS PLAN AT ANY TIME.

issuance pursuant to future grants under the Plan was 1,710,041, and 5,351,051
Shares were subject to issuance pursuant to previously granted awards. Shares

5
<PAGE> 9
express provisions of the Plan, to (i) select Grantees; (ii) establish and
adjust Performance Goals and Performance Periods for Performance Units; (iii)
determine the nature, amount, time and manner of payment of Awards made under
the Plan, and the terms and conditions applicable thereto; (iv) interpret the
Plan; (v) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the
Plan; (vi) determine whether and to what extent Stock Options previously
granted under the Plan shall be redesignated as Incentive Stock Options
pursuant to the provisions of Section 251(c) of the Economic Recovery Tax Act
of 1981 and the regulations issued thereunder, and in this connection, amend
any Stock Option Agreement or make or authorize any reports or elections or
take any other action to the extent necessary to implement the redesignation of
any Stock Option as an Incentive Stock Option, provided that any redesignation
of a previously granted Stock Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall not be
effective unless and until consented to by the Grantee; and (vii) make all
other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of
the Plan. The Committee's determination on the foregoing matters shall be
conclusive. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the
acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is
present, or acts approved in writing by all members of the Committee without a
meeting, shall be the acts of the Committee.
6. Awards. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 of the Plan, the
Committee shall determine Awards taking into consideration, as it deems
appropriate, the responsibility level and performance of each Grantee. The
Committee may grant the following types of Awards: Stock Options pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, SARs pursuant to Section 8 hereof, Limited SARs pursuant to
Section 9 hereof, Performance Units pursuant to Section 10 hereof and
Restricted Stock Rights pursuant to Section 11 hereof. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, a Grantee may not be granted in any Year both (i)
a Restricted Stock Right and (ii) a Stock Option, SAR, Limited SAR or
Performance Unit.
7. Stock Options.
(a) The Committee from time to time may grant Stock Options either
alone or in conjunction with and related to SARs, Limited SARs and/or
Performance Units to key executive Employees selected by the Committee as being
eligible therefor. The Stock Options may be of two types, Incentive Stock
Options and Non-qualified Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall cover such
number of Shares and shall be on such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee may determine and shall be
evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement setting forth such terms and conditions
executed by the Company and the Grantee. The Committee shall determine the
number of Shares subject to each Stock Option. The number of Shares subject to
an outstanding Stock Option shall be reduced on a one for one basis to the
extent that any related SAR, Limited SAR or Performance Unit is exercised and
such Shares shall not again become available for issuance pursuant to the Plan.
In the case of Stock Options, the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the date of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
6
<PAGE> 10
the first time by an Employee during any Year under the Plan or any other plan
of the Company shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent, if any, that the Fair
Market Value of such Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated
as separate Non-qualified Stock Options. For purposes of the two immediately
preceding sentences of this subparagraph (a), Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted.
(b) Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, each Stock
Option may be exercised only if the Grantee has been continuously employed by
RSI or any Subsidiary for a period of at least one (1) year commencing on the
date the Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that this provision shall
not apply in the event of a Change of Control.
(c) Each Stock Option shall be for such term (but, in no event,
for greater than ten years) and shall be exercisable in such installments as
shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Stock Option.
The Committee may, at any time, provide for the acceleration
of installments or any part thereof.
(d) The price per Share at which Shares may be purchased upon the
exercise of a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee on the grant of
the Stock Option but such price shall not be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Stock Option. If a
Grantee owns (or is deemed to own under applicable provisions of the Code and
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) more than ten percent (10%) of
the combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company and a
Stock Option granted to such Grantee is intended to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option, the Incentive Stock Option price shall be no less than one
hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted and the term of such Incentive
Stock Option shall be no more than five years.
(e) Except as provided in Paragraphs (h) and (l) of this Section
7, no Stock Option may be exercised unless the Grantee, at the time of
exercise, is an Employee and has continuously been an Employee of RSI or any
Subsidiary since the grant of such Stock Option. A Grantee shall not be deemed
to have terminated his period of continuous employ with RSI or any Subsidiary
if he leaves the employ of RSI or any Subsidiary for immediate reemployment
with RSI or any Subsidiary.
(f) To exercise a Stock Option, the Grantee shall (i) give written
notice to the Company in form satisfactory to the Committee indicating the
number of Shares which he elects to purchase, (ii) deliver to the Company
payment of the full purchase price of the Shares being purchased (A) in cash or
a certified or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company, or (B)
if the Grantee elects with the approval of the Committee, in Shares of the
Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
purchase price, or a combination of the foregoing having an aggregate Fair
Market Value equal to such purchase price, and (iii)
7
<PAGE> 11
deliver to the Secretary of the Company such written representations,
warranties and covenants as the Company may require under Section 16(a) of this
Plan.
(g) Upon proper exercise of a Stock Option, the Grantee shall be
treated for all purposes as the registered owner of the Shares as to which the
Stock Option has been exercised as of the close of business on the date of
exercise.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee prior to a Change of Control, in the
event of a Change of Control, each Stock Option not previously exercised or
expired under the terms of the Plan shall become immediately exercisable in
full and, shall remain exercisable to the full extent of the Shares available
thereunder, regardless of any installment provisions applicable thereto, for
the remainder of its term, unless Section 14(a) of the Plan applies or the
Grantee has been terminated for cause, in which case the Stock Options shall
automatically terminate as of the Incumbent Board's determination pursuant to
Section 14(a) or the Grantee's Termination Date, as appropriate.
(i) If the Committee so determines prior to or during the thirty
(30) day period following the occurrence of a Change of Control, Grantees of
Stock Options not otherwise exercised or expired under the terms of the Plan as
to which no SARs or Limited SARs are then exercisable may, in lieu of
exercising, require RSI to purchase for cash all such Stock Options or portions
thereof for a period of sixty (60) days following the occurrence of a Change of
Control at the Price specified in Section 2(x); provided that Stock Options
subject to this purchase requirement held by Grantees who are subject to
Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act with respect to RSI must have been held for at
least six (6) months.
(j) Any determination made by the Committee pursuant to Section
7(i) or 7(j) may be made as to all eligible Stock Options or only as to certain
of such Stock Options specified by the Committee. Once made, any determination
by the Committee pursuant to Section 7(h) or 7(i) shall be irrevocable.
(k) The Company intends that Section 7(i) shall comply with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act (the "Rule") during the term of
this Plan. Should any provision of Section 7(i) not be necessary to comply
with the requirements of the Rule, or should any additional provisions be
necessary for Section 7(i) to comply with the requirements of the Rule, the
Committee may amend this Plan or any Stock Option agreement to add to or modify
the provisions thereof accordingly.
(l) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 7, a
Stock Option shall in all cases terminate and not be exercisable after the
expiration of the term of the Stock Option established by the Committee.
Except as provided in Section 7(h), Stock Options shall be exercisable after
the Grantee ceases to be employed by RSI or any Subsidiary as follows, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee:
8
<PAGE> 12
(i) In the event that a Grantee ceases to be employed by
RSI or any Subsidiary by reason of Disability or Retirement, (A) any
Non-qualified Stock Option not previously exercised or expired shall continue
to vest and be exercisable during the three (3) year period following the
Grantee's Termination Date, and to the extent it is exercisable at the
expiration of such three (3) year period, it shall continue to be exercisable
by such Grantee or such Grantee's legal representatives, heirs or legatees for
the term of such Non-qualified Stock Option, and (B) any Incentive Stock Option
shall, to the extent it was exercisable on the Termination Date, continue to be
exercisable by such Grantee or such Grantee's legal representatives, heirs or
legatees for the term of such Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that
in order to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded by Section 421 of
the Code, Incentive Stock Options must be exercised within the three (3) month
period commencing on the Termination Date (the exercise period shall be one (1)
year in the case of termination by reason of disability, within the meaning of
Section 422(e)(3) of the Code). Incentive Stock Options not exercised within
such three (3) month period shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.
(ii) In the event that a Grantee ceases to be employed by
RSI or any Subsidiary by reason of death, any Stock Option shall, to the extent
it was exercisable on the Termination Date, continue to be exercisable by such
Grantee's legal representatives, heirs or legatees for the term of such Stock
Option.
(iii) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (i) or
(ii) above, in the event that a Grantee ceases to be employed by RSI or any
Subsidiary for any reason other than termination for cause, any Stock Option
shall, to the extent it was exercisable on the Termination Date, continue to be
exercisable for a period of three (3) months commencing on the Termination Date
and shall terminate at the expiration of such period; provided, however, that
in the event of the death of the Grantee during such three (3) month period,
such Stock Option shall, to the extent it was exercisable on the Termination
Date, be exercisable by the Grantee's personal representatives, heirs or
legatees for a period of one (1) year commencing on the date of the Grantee's
death and shall terminate at the expiration of such period.
(iv) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (i),
(ii) and (iii) above, a Stock Option shall automatically terminate as of the
Termination Date, provided that if a Grantee's employment is interrupted by
reason of Disability or a leave of absence (as determined by the Committee) the
Committee may permit the exercise of some or all of the Stock Options granted
on such terms and for such period of time as it shall determine.
8. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) The Committee shall have authority in its discretion to grant
a SAR to any Grantee of a Stock Option with respect to all or some of the
Shares covered by such Stock Option. Each SAR shall be on such terms and
conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee may determine and
shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement setting forth such terms and conditions
executed by the Company and the holder of the SAR. A SAR may be granted
9
<PAGE> 13
either at the time of grant of a Stock Option or at any time thereafter during
its term. A SAR may be granted to a Grantee irrespective of whether such
Grantee has a Limited SAR. Each SAR shall be exercisable only if and to the
extent that the related Stock Option is exercisable, provided, however, that no
SAR may be exercised in any event (i) until the expiration of six (6) months
from the date of grant of the SAR unless prior to the expiration of such six
(6) month period the holder of the SAR ceases to be employed by RSI or any
Subsidiary because of death or Disability, or (ii) more than six (6) months
after the Termination Date of a Grantee. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the
related Stock Option shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of the Shares
with respect to which such SAR is exercised and shall be considered to have
been exercised to that extent for purposes of determining the number of Shares
available for the grant of further Awards pursuant to this Plan. Upon the
exercise or termination of a Stock Option, the SAR related to such Stock Option
shall terminate to the extent of the Shares with respect to which such Stock
Option was exercised or terminated.
(b) The term "Spread" as used in this Section 8 shall mean, with
respect to the exercise of any SAR, an amount equal to the product computed by
multiplying (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
such SAR is exercised over (B) the purchase price per Share at which the
related Stock Option is exercisable by (ii) the number of Shares with respect
to which such SAR is being exercised, provided, however, that the Committee may
at the grant of any SAR limit the maximum amount of the Spread to be paid upon
the exercise thereof.
(c) Only if and to the extent required in order for the related
Stock Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option, a SAR may be exercised
only when there is a positive Spread, that is, when the Fair Market Value per
Share exceeds the purchase price per Share at which the related Stock Option is
exercisable. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Committee shall pay to the
Grantee exercising the SAR an amount equivalent to the Spread. The Committee
shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether payment for
such SAR will be made in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares,
provided, that any Shares used for payment shall be valued at their Fair Market
Value on the date of the exercise of the SAR.
(d) A SAR may be exercised only during the period beginning on the
third (3rd) business day following the date of release for publication of the
quarterly and annual summary statements of sales and earnings of the Company
and ending on the twelfth (12th) business day following such date. Such
release shall be deemed to have taken place if the specified financial data
appears (i) on a wire service, (ii) in a financial news service, (iii) in a
newspaper of general circulation or (iv) is otherwise made publicly available.
(e) The Company intends that this Section 8 shall comply with the
requirements of the Rule during the term of this Plan. Should any provision of
this Section 8 not be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Rule or
should any additional provisions be necessary for this Section 8 to comply with
the requirements of the Rule, the Committee may amend this Plan or any Award
agreement to add to or modify the provisions thereof accordingly.
10
<PAGE> 14
(f) To exercise a SAR, the Grantee shall (i) give written notice
to the Company in form satisfactory to the Committee specifying the number of
Shares with respect to which such holder is exercising the SAR and (ii) deliver
to the Company such written representations, warranties and covenants as the
Company may require under Section 16(a) of this Plan.
(g) A person exercising a SAR shall not be treated as having
become the registered owner of any Shares issued on such exercise until such
Shares are issued.
(h) The exercise of a SAR shall reduce the number of Shares
subject to the related Stock Option on a one for one basis.
9. Limited SARs.
(a) The Committee shall have authority in its discretion to grant
a Limited SAR to the holder of any Stock Option or any 1966 Option, with
respect to all or some of the Shares covered by such Option; provided, however,
that in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the Committee may grant Limited
SARs only if and to the extent that the grant of such Limited SARs is
consistent with the treatment of the Stock Option as an Incentive Stock Option.
Each Limited SAR shall be on such terms and conditions not inconsistent with
this Plan as the Committee may determine and shall be evidenced by a Limited
SAR Agreement setting forth such terms and conditions executed by the Company
and the holder of the Limited SAR. A Limited SAR may be granted to the holder
of a 1966 Option at any time during its term and may be granted either at the
time of grant of a Stock Option or at any time thereafter during its term. A
Limited SAR may be granted to a Grantee irrespective of whether such Grantee
has a SAR.
(b) Limited SARs may be exercised only during the sixty (60) day
period commencing after the occurrence of a Change of Control, provided,
however, that a Limited SAR that has not been held by the Grantee for at least
six (6) months before the occurrence of a Change of Control may be exercised
only during the sixty (60) day period commencing upon the expiration of such
six (6) month holding period.
Each Limited SAR shall be exercisable only if and to the extent that the
related Option is exercisable, provided, however, that no Limited SAR may be
exercised in any event (i) until the expiration of six (6) months from the date
of grant of the Limited SAR, or (ii) more than six (6) months after the
Termination Date of a Grantee. Upon the exercise of a Limited SAR, the related
Stock Option or 1966 Option shall cease to be exercisable to the extent of the
Shares with respect to which such Limited SAR is exercised, and the Stock
Option and 1966 Option shall be considered to have been exercised to that
extent for purposes of determining the number of Shares available for the grant
of further Awards pursuant to this Plan and the 1966 Stock Option Plan,
respectively. Upon the exercise or termination of an Option, the Limited SAR
with respect to such Option shall terminate to the extent of the Shares with
respect to which the Option was exercised or terminated.
11
<PAGE> 15
(c) For any Limited SAR, the term "Spread" as used in this Section
9 shall mean an amount equal to the product computed by multiplying (A) the
Price specified in Section 2(x) by (B) the number of Shares with respect to
which such Limited SAR is being exercised.
(d) Only if and to the extent required in order for the related
Stock Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option, a Limited SAR may be
exercised only when there is a positive Spread, that is, when the Fair Market
value per Share exceeds the purchase price per Share at which the related Stock
Option is exercisable. Upon the exercise of a Limited SAR, the holder thereof
shall receive an amount in cash equal to the Spread.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no SAR or
Performance Unit may be exercised with respect to any Stock Option at a time
when any Limited SAR with respect to such Stock Option held by the Grantee of
such SAR or Performance Unit may be exercised.
(f) The Company intends that this Section 9 shall comply with the
requirements of the Rule during the term of this Plan. Should any provision of
this Section 9 not be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Rule, or
should any additional provisions be necessary for this Section 9 to comply with
the requirements of the Rule, the Committee may amend this Plan or any Award
agreement to add to or modify the provisions thereof accordingly.
(g) To exercise a Limited SAR, the holder shall give written
notice to the Company in form satisfactory to the Committee specifying the
number of Shares with respect to which he is exercising the Limited SAR.
(h) The exercise of a Limited SAR shall reduce on a one for one
basis the number of Shares subject to the related Stock Option or 1966 Option.
10. Performance Units.
(a) In conjunction with the granting of Stock Options under this
Plan, the Committee may grant Performance Units relating to such Stock Options;
provided, however, that in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the Committee
may grant Performance Units only if and to the extent that the grant of such
Performance Units is consistent with the treatment of the Stock Option as an
Incentive Stock Option. Each grant of Performance Units shall cover such
number of Shares and shall be on such other terms and conditions not
inconsistent with this Plan as the Committee may determine and shall be
evidenced by a Performance Unit Agreement setting forth such terms and
conditions executed by the Company and the Grantee of the Performance Units.
The number of Performance Units granted shall be equal to a specified number of
Shares subject to the related Stock Options. The Committee shall value such
Units to the extent that Performance Goals are achieved, provided, however,
that in no event shall the value per Performance Unit exceed one hundred and
fifty percent (150%) of the purchase price per Share at which the related Stock
Option is exercisable.
12
<PAGE> 16
(b) The Committee shall have full and final authority to establish
Performance Goals for each Performance Period on the basis of such criteria,
and the attainment of such objectives, as the Committee may from time to time
determine. In setting Performance Goals, the Committee may take into
consideration such matters which it deems relevant and such financial and other
criteria including but not limited to projected cumulative compounded rate of
growth in earnings per share and average return on equity. During any
Performance Period, the Committee shall have the authority to adjust
Performance Goals for the Performance Period as it deems equitable in
recognition of extraordinary or nonrecurring events experienced by the Company
during the Performance Period including, but not limited to, changes in
applicable accounting rules or principles or changes in the Company's methods
of accounting during the Performance Period or significant changes in tax laws
or regulations which affect the financial results of the Company.
(c) The term "Performance Goals" as used in this Section 10 shall
mean the performance objectives established by the Committee for the Company
for a Performance Period for the purpose of determining if, as well as the
extent to which, a Performance Unit shall be earned.
(d) The term "Performance Period" as used in this Section 10 shall
mean the period of time selected by the Committee (which period shall be not
more than five nor less than three years) commencing on January 1 of the Year
in which the grant of Performance Units is made, during which the performance
of the Company is measured for the purpose of determining the extent to which
Performance Units have been earned.
(e) Performance Units shall be earned to the extent that
Performance Goals and other conditions established in accordance with Paragraph
(b) of this Section 10 are met. The Company shall promptly notify each Grantee
of the extent to which Performance Units have been earned by such Grantee. A
Performance Unit may be exercised only during the period following such notice
and prior to expiration of the related option. Performance Units which have
been earned shall be paid after exercise by the Grantee pursuant to Paragraph
(h) of this Section 10. The Committee shall have the sole and absolute
discretion to determine whether payment for such Performance Unit will be made
in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, provided that any Shares
used for payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of the
exercise of the Performance Unit.
(f) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event
that a Grantee of Performance Units ceases to be employed by RSI or any
Subsidiary during the term of the related Stock Option, the Performance Units
held by him shall be exercisable only to the extent the related Stock Option is
exercisable and shall be forfeited to the extent that the related Stock Option
was not exercisable on the Termination Date.
(g) The Company intends that this Section 10 shall comply with the
requirements of Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder, as from
time to time in effect, including the Rule. Should any provision of this
Section 10 not be necessary to comply with the
13
<PAGE> 17
requirements of said Section 16(b) and the rules thereunder or should any
additional provision be necessary for this Section 10 to comply with the
requirements of Section 16(b) and the rules thereunder, the Committee may amend
this Plan or any Award agreement to add to or modify the provisions thereof
accordingly.
(h) To exercise Performance Units, the Grantee shall give written
notice to the Company in form satisfactory to the Committee addressed to the
Secretary of the Company specifying the number of Shares with respect to which
he is exercising Performance Units.
(i) The exercise of Performance Units shall reduce on a one for
one basis the number of Shares subject to the related Stock Option.
11. Restricted Stock Rights.
(a) The Committee from time to time may grant Restricted Stock
Rights to key executive Employees selected by the Committee as being eligible
therefor, which would entitle a Grantee to receive a stated number of Shares
subject to forfeiture of such Rights if such Grantee failed to remain
continuously in the employ of RSI or any Subsidiary for the period stipulated
by the Committee (the "Restricted Period").
(b) Restricted Stock Rights shall be subject to the following
restrictions and limitations:
(i) The Restricted Stock Rights may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of;
(ii) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph (d) of this
Section 11, the Restricted Stock Rights and the Shares subject to such
Restricted Stock Rights shall be forfeited and all rights of a Grantee to such
Restricted Stock Rights and Shares shall terminate without any payment of
consideration by the Company if the Grantee fails to remain continuously as an
Employee of RSI or any Subsidiary for the Restricted Period. A Grantee shall
not be deemed to have terminated his period of continuous employment with RSI
or any Subsidiary if he leaves the employ of RSI or any Subsidiary for
immediate reemployment with RSI or any Subsidiary.
(c) The Grantee of Restricted Stock Rights shall not be entitled
to any of the rights of a holder of the Common Stock with respect to the Shares
subject to such Restricted Stock Rights prior to the issuance of such Shares
pursuant to the Plan. During the Restricted Period, for each Share subject to
a Restricted Stock Right, the Company will pay the holder an amount in cash
equal to the cash dividend declared on a Share during the Restricted Period on
or about the date the Company pays such dividend to the stockholders of record.
(d) In the event that the employment of a Grantee terminates by
reason of death, Disability or Retirement, such Grantee shall be entitled to
receive the number of Shares subject
14
<PAGE> 18
to the Restricted Stock Right multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of
which shall be the number of days between the date of grant of such Restricted
Stock Right and the date of such termination of employment, and (y) the
denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Restricted Period,
provided, however, that any fractional Share shall be cancelled. If a
Grantee's employment is interrupted by reason of Disability or a leave of
absence (as determined by the Committee), then the Committee may permit the
delivery of the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Right in such amounts as
the Committee may determine.
(e) Notwithstanding Paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the occurrence of a
Change of Control, in the event of a Change of Control all restrictions on
Restricted Stock shall expire and all Shares subject to Restricted Stock Rights
shall be issued to the Grantees. Additionally, the Committee may, at any time,
provide for the acceleration of the Restricted Period and of the issuance of
all or part of the Shares subject to Restricted Stock Rights. Any
determination made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 11(e) may be made
as to all Restricted Stock Rights or only as to certain Restricted Stock Rights
specified by the Committee. Once made, any determination by the Committee
pursuant to this Section 11(e) shall be irrevocable.
(f) When a Grantee shall be entitled to receive Shares pursuant to
a Restricted Stock Right, the Company shall issue the appropriate number of
Shares registered in the name of the Grantee.
12. Dilution and Other Adjustments. If there shall be any change in the
Shares subject to the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, as a result of
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock
split or other change in the corporate structure, adjustments may be made by
the Committee, as it may deem appropriate, in the aggregate number and kind of
Shares subject to the Plan or to any outstanding Award, and in the terms and
provisions of this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder, in order to reflect,
on an equitable basis, any such change in the Shares contemplated by this
Section 12. Any adjustment made by the Committee pursuant to this Section 12
shall be conclusive and binding upon the Grantee, the Company and any other
related person.
13. Substitute Options. Incentive and/or Non-qualified Stock Options may
be granted under this Plan from time to time in substitution for either
incentive or non-qualified stock options or both held by employees of other
corporations who are about to become employees of the Company as the result of
a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the employing corporation with the
Company, or the acquisition by the Company of the assets of the employing
corporation, or the acquisition by the Company of stock of the employing
corporation as the result of which it becomes a Subsidiary of the Company. The
terms and conditions of the Stock Options so granted may vary from the terms
and conditions set forth in this Plan to such extent as the Committee at the
time of grant may deem appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the
provisions of the stock options in substitution for which they are granted,
but, in the event that
15

the option for which a substitute Stock Option is being granted is an incentive
stock option, no variation shall adversely affect the status of any substitute
Stock Option as an incentive stock option under the Code.
14. Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Stock
Option, SAR, Limited SAR or Restricted Stock Right granted hereunder may be
exercised nor shall any payment in respect of any Performance Unit granted
hereunder be made and all rights of the Grantee thereof, or of the Grantee's
legal representatives, heirs or legatees, shall be forfeited if, prior to the
time of such exercise or payment, the Committee (or in the event of a Change of
Control, the Incumbent Board) determines that the Grantee has (i) used for
profit or disclosed confidential information or trade secrets of the Company to
unauthorized persons, or (ii) breached any contract with, or violated any legal
obligation to, the Company, or (iii) engaged in any other activity which would
constitute grounds for termination for cause of the Grantee by the Company.
The Committee (or the Incumbent Board) shall give a Grantee written notice of
such determination prior to making any such forfeiture. The Committee (or the
Incumbent Board) may waive the conditions of this Paragraph in full or in part
if, in its sole judgment, such waiver will have no substantial adverse effect
upon the Company. The determination of the Committee (or the Incumbent Board)
as to the occurrence of any of the events specified above and to the
forfeiture, if any, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Grantee, the
Company and any other related person.
(b) The Grantee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect thereto, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan,
unless and until certificates for Shares are issued.
(c) No Award or any rights or interests therein shall be
assignable or transferable by the Grantee except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. During the lifetime of the Grantee, an Award shall be
exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee's guardian or legal
representative.
(d) The Company shall have the right to deduct from all Awards
granted hereunder to be distributed in cash any Federal, state, local or
foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such cash
payments. In the case of Awards to be distributed in Shares, the holder or
other person receiving such Common Stock shall be required, as a condition of
such distribution, either to pay to the Company at the time of distribution
thereof the amount of any such taxes which the Company is required to withhold
with respect to such Shares or to have the number of the Shares, valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date of distribution, to be distributed reduced
by an amount equal to the value of such taxes required to be withheld.
(e) No Employee shall have any claim or right to be granted an
Award under the Plan, nor having been selected as a Grantee for one Year, any
right to be a Grantee in any other
16
<PAGE> 20
Year. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as
giving any Grantee any right to be retained in the employ of RSI or any
Subsidiary, and the Company expressly reserves its right at any time to dismiss
any Grantee with or without cause.
(f) The costs and expense of administering the Plan shall be borne
by the Company and not charged to any Award nor to any Grantee.
(g) The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required
to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of
assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan, and payment of Awards
shall be subordinate to the claims of the Company's general creditors.
(h) Whenever used in the Plan, the masculine gender shall include
the feminine or neuter wherever necessary or appropriate and vice versa and the
singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
15. Indemnification of the Committee. Service on the Committee shall
constitute service as a director of the Company and members of the Committee
shall be entitled to indemnification, advancement of expenses and reimbursement
as directors of the Company pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws,
resolutions of the Board of Directors of RSI or otherwise.
16. Compliance with Law.
(a) Each Grantee, to permit the Company to comply with the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable blue
sky or state securities laws, shall represent in writing to the Company at the
time of the grant of an Award and at the time of the issuance of any Shares
thereunder that such Grantee does not contemplate and shall not make any
transfer of any Shares to be acquired under an Award except in compliance with
the 1933 Act and such Grantee shall enter into such agreements and make such
other representations as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, shall be
sufficient to enable the Company legally to issue the Shares without
registration thereof under the 1933 Act. Certificates representing Shares to
be acquired under Awards shall bear legends as counsel for the Company may
indicate are necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 16.
(b) If at any time the Committee shall determine that the listing,
registration or qualification of the Shares subject to any Award upon any
securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or
approval of any government regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the granting of or issuance of Shares
under such Award, such Shares shall not be issued unless such listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.
17
<PAGE> 21
17. Amendment of the Plan. The Committee may at any time (i) terminate
this Plan or (ii) modify or amend this Plan in any respect, except that without
shareholder approval the Committee may not (A) materially increase the benefits
accruing to Grantees under the Plan if and to the extent required to maintain
the qualification of the Plan under the Rule, (B) materially increase the
number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, or (C) materially
modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. The
termination or any modification or amendment of this Plan shall not, without
the consent of any Grantee involved, adversely affect his rights under an Award
previously granted to him.
18. Effective Date and Term of the Plan.
(a) This Plan originally became effective for the fiscal year
commenced January 1, 1980. The Plan was approved on May 2, 1980, by the
holders of a majority of the then outstanding Shares of the Company. The Plan
as then amended was most recently approved by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Shares of the Company on May 7, 1993.
(b) Unless previously terminated in accordance with Section 17 of
this Plan, this Plan shall terminate on the close of business on May 1, 2000,
after which no Awards shall be granted under this Plan. Such termination shall
not affect any Awards granted prior to such termination.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC.
DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN
(As amended on December 17, 1993)
<PAGE> 3
RYDER SYSTEM, INC.
DIRECTORS STOCK PLAN
SECTION I
PURPOSES OF THE PLAN
The Ryder System, Inc. Directors Stock Plan ( the "Plan" ) is intended to
enable Ryder System, Inc. (the "Company") to attract and retain persons of
outstanding competence to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the
Company and to provide a direct link between Directors' compensation and
shareholder value.
SECTION II
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
A. Committee -- The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee"), which shall consist of
not less than three members of the Board of Directors, each of whom shall be a
"disinterested person" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Grants of stock to eligible participants
under the Plan and the amount, nature and timing of the grants shall be
automatically determined as described in Sections IV and V and shall not be
subject to the determination of the Committee.
B. Authority of the Committee -- Subject to certain specific limitations and
restrictions set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final
authority to interpret the Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations, if any, relating to the Plan; and to make all determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. No member of the
Committee shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or by
any other member of the Committee in connection with the Plan, except for his
own willful misconduct or gross negligence. All decisions which are made by the
Committee with respect to interpretation of the terms of the Plan and with
respect to any questions or disputes arising under the Plan shall be final and
binding on the Company and the participants, their heirs or beneficiaries. The
Committee shall not be empowered to take any action, whether or not otherwise
authorized under the Plan, which would result in any Director failing to
qualify as a "disinterested person".
C. Acts of the Committee -- A majority of the Committee will constitute a
quorum and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at
which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by all members of the
Committee without a meeting, will be the acts of the Committee.
<PAGE> 4
SECTION III
STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
A. Common Stock -- The stock which is the subject of grants under the Plan
shall be the Company's Common Stock, par value $.50 per share ("Common Stock"),
which shares shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions
described in the Plan.
B. Maximum Number of Shares That May Be Granted -- There may be granted under
the Plan an aggregate of not more than fifty thousand (50,000) shares of Common
Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section VII hereof. Shares of
Common Stock granted pursuant to the Plan may be either authorized, but
unissued, shares or reacquired shares, or both.
C. Rights With Respect To Shares -- A Director to whom a grant of Common Stock
has been made shall have absolute beneficial ownership of the shares of Common
Stock granted to that Director, including the right to vote the shares and to
receive dividends thereunder; subject, however, to the terms, conditions and
restrictions described in the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section V.
The certificate(s) for such shares shall be held by the Company (or by an agent
designated by the Secretary of the Company) for the Director's benefit until
the terms, conditions and restrictions lapse, whereupon the certificates shall
be delivered to the Director.
SECTION IV
PARTICIPATION
A. Directors -- Participation in the Plan shall be limited to persons who serve
as members of the Board of Directors of the Company and who, at the time of
grant, are not "employees" of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries,
within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA"). A Director who is an employee and who retires or resigns from
employment with the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries, but remains a
Director of the Company, shall become eligible to participate in the Plan at
the time of such termination of employment.
B. Elections -- Any eligible Director may elect to participate in the Plan and
receive grants of Common Stock as set out in Paragraph C of this Section IV by
delivering to the Committee a written notice to such effect. Such election
shall be made at least six (6) months prior to the Grant Date (as defined
below) and shall be irrevocable in a manner sufficient to satisfy the rules
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended then in
effect, and according to procedures established by the Committee.
C. Grants -- Each participating Director who has made an election pursuant to
Paragraph B of this Section IV shall be eligible to receive, on the first New
York Stock Exchange trading day
2
<PAGE> 5
of the first calendar quarter occurring at least six (6) months following such
election (the "Grant Date"), and annually thereafter, in lieu of such
Director's annual retainer for service as a director of the Company (the
"Annual Retainer"): (i) a grant of Common Stock and (ii) Eleven Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($11,500.00) (collectively, the "Formula"). The amount of
Common Stock which shall be granted to a participating Director will be the
number of whole shares which can be purchased for Fifteen Thousand Dollars
($15,000.00) based on the Fair Market Value of the shares on the Grant Date.
Fractional shares shall not be granted. "Fair Market Value" will be the mean of
the highest and lowest sale price for the Common Stock as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Reporting System on the Grant Date.
D. Adjustment of Formula -- In the event that there shall be an increase or
decrease in the Annual Retainer, the Formula shall adjust automatically so that
both the relationship between the Formula and the Annual Retainer and the
proportion of Common Stock and cash paid to a participating Director pursuant
to the Formula are maintained.
SECTION V
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK GRANTS
A. Vesting -- Each grant of Common Stock to a participating Director in
accordance with the Plan shall be vested on the six-month anniversary of the
Grant Date, so long as the Director has served continuously as a director of
the Company during the intervening six-month period; provided, however, that a
participating Director who has completed a full term of service prior to the
end of such six-month period or whose service during such six-month period was
interrupted due to death or disability shall be vested in a pro rata amount of
shares. Except as described in the preceding sentence, in the event a
Director's service to the Company terminates before the shares have vested,
then all shares granted to such Director which have not vested shall be
cancelled and such shares shall be forfeited and retransferred to the Company,
with the Director having no further right or interest in such forfeited and
retransferred shares.
B. Restrictions on Transfer -- Shares of Common Stock granted to a
participating Director may not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated
or otherwise disposed of (i) before they have vested in accordance with
Paragraph A of this Section V and (ii) until six (6) months after the
termination of the Director's service to the Company as a director.
SECTION VI
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND OTHER CONDITIONS
A. Restrictions Upon Grant Of Common Stock -- The listing upon the New York
Stock Exchange or the registration or qualification under any federal or state
law of any shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to the Plan may be
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
3
<PAGE> 6
connection with, such grant and, in any such event, delivery of the
certificates for such shares of Common Stock shall, if the Committee, in its
sole discretion, shall determine, not be made until such listing, registration
or qualification shall have been completed.
B. Restrictions Upon Resale Of Unregistered Stock -- If the issuances of the
shares of Common Stock that have been granted to a participating Director
pursuant to the terms of the Plan are not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective registration statement, such
Director, if the Committee shall deem it advisable, may be required to
represent and agree in writing:
(i) that any shares of Common Stock acquired by such Director
pursuant to the Plan will not be sold, except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act, and
(ii) that such Director is acquiring such shares of Common
Stock for his own account and not with a view to the distribution
thereof.
SECTION VII
ADJUSTMENT
The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company reserved for grants under
the Plan shall be subject to appropriate adjustment by the Committee, as
necessary, to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or
similar event.
SECTION VIII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
A. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any Director of the Company
any right to a grant of Common Stock under the Plan unless all conditions
described within the Plan are met as determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee.
B. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of Common Stock nor any other action
taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or
understanding, express or implied, that the Company will retain a Director for
any period of time. Nothing in the Plan shall in any manner be construed to
limit in any way the right of the Company or its shareholders to reelect or not
reelect or renominate or not renominate a participating Director.
4
<PAGE> 7
C. Any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued as a stock dividend, or as
a result of stock splits, combinations, exchanges of shares, reorganizations,
mergers, consolidations or otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock
granted pursuant to the Plan shall have the same status and be subject to the
same restrictions as the shares granted.
D. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Company and not charged to any grant of Common Stock nor to any participating
Director.
E. The Company may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem
necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes which the Company is
required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether
federal, state or local, to withhold in connection with any event or action
under the Plan.
SECTION IX
AMENDMENT
The Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may suspend or
discontinue the Plan, or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; except
that, without shareholder approval, the Committee or the Board of Directors may
not (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the
Plan, (b) increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for grants
under the Plan, or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan. Additionally, should the Plan require amendment to
maintain full legal compliance because of rules, regulations, opinions or
statutes issued by the SEC, the U.S. Department of the Treasury or any other
governmental or governing body, then the Committee or the Board of Directors
may take whatever action, including but not limited to amending or modifying
the Plan, is necessary to maintain such compliance. The termination or any
modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of any
participant involved, adversely affect rights under a previous grant of Common
Stock. In no event shall Plan provisions dealing with the eligibility of
participants to receive grants, the amount and price of securities to be
granted, or the timing of the grants be amended more than once every six
months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, ERISA,
or the rules thereunder.
SECTION X
GOVERNING LAW
The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto shall
be governed by the laws of the State of Florida and construed accordingly.

<PAGE> 8

Company.

are in dispute, then such items shall be submitted to KPMG Peat Marwick ("Peat
Marwick") for resolution. For purposes of dispute resolution, the accounting
policies followed by Ryder up to and including the Distribution Date with
respect to the businesses to be transferred to Aviall shall prevail, so long as
such policies comply with GAAP. All fees and expenses, if any, for dispute
resolution work to be performed by Peat Marwick shall be borne equally by Ryder
and Aviall. Peat Marwick shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely
on presentations by Ryder and Aviall, and not by independent review, only those
issues still in dispute.

Section 3.09 Insurance.
(a) Ryder has historically provided insurance coverage to Aviall and
Aviall Subsidiaries through various policies maintained by Ryder for the
benefit of itself and its
-9-
<PAGE> 14
Subsidiaries for workers' compensation, general liability, fire and other types
of losses. Aviall and Aviall Subsidiaries have made payments to Ryder to
reimburse Ryder for their pro rata share of any premiums paid to third parties
by Ryder to provide such insurance, with deductibles, and for varying limits of
liability. Ryder will use reasonable efforts to continue to provide such
coverage in accordance with its past practice to Aviall and Aviall Subsidiaries
from the date such coverage first commenced until 5:00 P.M. on the Distribution
Date or such later date as may be agreed to in writing by Ryder and Aviall and
accepted by the relevant insurers, and Aviall shall make payments to Ryder to
reimburse Ryder for its pro rata share of any premiums for such coverage in
accordance with the past practice established by Ryder and Aviall and Aviall
Subsidiaries. To the extent that losses by Aviall are not covered by such
third-party insurers, Ryder will not be required to reimburse Aviall for such
losses.
(b) Ryder shall use reasonable efforts to assist Aviall and Aviall
Subsidiaries in obtaining initial insurance coverage for Aviall and Aviall
Subsidiaries from and after the Distribution Date in such amounts as are agreed
upon by the parties. Following the Distribution Date, each of the parties
shall cooperate with and assist the other party in the prevention of conflicts
or gaps in insurance coverage and/or collection of proceeds. The parties
acknowledge that Ryder is the named insured on the aviation liability policies
which cover claims made in respect of services rendered to or products sold to
customers of Aviall and Aviall Subsidiaries, and the parties agree to use
reasonable efforts to assign such policies to Aviall effective as of the
Distribution Date and to have Aviall become the named insured under such
policies, with Ryder being an additional insured thereunder.
(c) Ryder and Aviall agree that (i) Aviall shall have the right to
present claims to Ryder or Ryder's insurers under all policies of insurance
placed by Ryder on Aviall's and Aviall Subsidiaries' behalf, or which include
Aviall or Aviall Subsidiaries within them, and (ii) Ryder shall submit such
claims to Ryder's insurers on a timely basis or shall assist Aviall in the
submission of such claims to such insurers. The parties agree that certain
policies are written on an "occurrence" basis and may provide coverage to
Aviall and Aviall Subsidiaries for incidents occurring prior to the
Distribution Date even though the claim was first made after the Distribution
Date and that other policies are written on a "claims made" rather than
"occurrence" basis and that such policies may not provide coverage to Aviall
and
-10-
<PAGE> 15
Aviall Subsidiaries for incidents occurring prior to the Distribution Date but
which are first reported after the Distribution Date.
(d) With respect to any insured Losses or retroactive premium
adjustments relating to assets and/or operations of Aviall and/or Aviall
Subsidiaries prior to the Distribution Date or such later date as may be agreed
to pursuant to Section 3.09(a) hereof: Ryder shall pay over to Aviall any
Insurance Proceeds (or, in the case of workers' compensation insurance,
Aviall's pro rata share of such proceeds) it receives on account of such
Losses, net of the amount of any applicable premium adjustments,
retrospectively-rated premium adjustments or other costs which are paid or
estimated by Ryder to be paid by Ryder in the ordinary course of business and
any costs incurred by Ryder in collecting such proceeds. If Ryder's estimate
of such adjustments or other costs proves to be too small or too great, the
difference between the estimate and the actual adjustments and other costs
shall be paid back to Ryder or over to Aviall, respectively, within one year
after the initial payment of insurance proceeds is made.
(e) Ryder and Aviall agree that each was insured for workers'
compensation in the state of Texas under a retrospective rating program during
the twelve-month periods beginning on October 1, 1987 and October 1, 1988 by
Transportation Insurance Company under policies 001602763 and 001606338. These
policies will require ongoing premium adjustments until such time as all claims
are closed and Ryder and Transportation Insurance Company agree to a final
settlement. Ryder's Risk Management Department will continue to reconcile any
retrospective or other premium calculations in accordance with the
retrospective rating formula and past practices and will provide Aviall with
data supporting the allocation of premiums between Aviall and Ryder.
Section 3.10 Use Of Name.
(a) Use of RYDER Name and Mark. Aviall acknowledges that Ryder owns
all rights in the RYDER name and mark and that within six months after the
Distribution Date, Aviall and any Aviall subsidiary will cease all use of the
RYDER name and mark as part of any corporate name, trade name, and/or trademark
or service mark, including, without limitation, on any signs, letterhead,
business cards, invoices and other business forms, telephone directory
listings, and advertising and promotional materials. During the six-month
period after the Distribution Date in which any use of the RYDER name or mark
is used by Aviall on
-11-
<PAGE> 16
preexisting signs and printed materials, Ryder will rely on Aviall to maintain
the same standards of quality as previously exercised by Aviall.
(b) Use of AVIALL Name and Mark. Ryder acknowledges that Aviall owns
all rights in the AVIALL name and mark and that within six-months after the
Distribution Date, Ryder and any Ryder subsidiary will cease all use of the
AVIALL name and mark as part of any corporate name, trade name, and/or
trademark or service mark, including, without limitation, on any signs,
letterhead, business cards, invoices and other business forms, telephone
directory listings, and advertising and promotional materials. During the six
month period after the Distribution Date in which any use of the AVIALL name or
mark is used by Ryder on preexisting signs or printed materials, Aviall will
rely on Ryder to maintain the same standards of quality as previously exercised
by Ryder.
Section 3.11 Disposition of Businesses Held for Sale.
(a) Upon the closing of the sale of all of the Businesses Held for
Sale (as defined below) and the collection or sale of the accounts receivable
retained by Aviall following the closing of the sale of any such Businesses and
related thereto, or otherwise pursuant to subsections (d) and (e) hereof, and
upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subsection (b) hereof, but in
no event later than September 30, 1994, Aviall (i) shall pay to Ryder the first
$25 million of the Proceeds (as defined below) attributable to such sale(s) in
excess of the aggregate book value of the assets so sold (excluding deferred
accumulated income taxes) of the Businesses Held for Sale (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
and consistent with the presentation in the Aviall financial statements
included in the Form 10), with the book value of such assets of each such
Business determined as of the date of disposition of each such Business; (ii)
shall retain the next $10 million of the Proceeds exceeding such aggregate book
value; and (iii) shall pay to Ryder 80% of the Proceeds to the extent exceeding
such aggregate book value by more than $35 million (the amounts referred to in
clauses (i) and (iii) of this subsection (a) being referred to herein as the
"Proceeds Payment"); provided, however, that if the Proceeds Payment pursuant
to this Section 3.11 would exceed an aggregate of $50 million, then Aviall
shall pay to Ryder the sum of $50 million and in no event shall the Proceeds
Payment exceed such amount.
-12-
<PAGE> 17
(b) Any Proceeds Payment made pursuant to this Section 3.11 shall be
conditioned upon (i) there being Proceeds attributable to the sale of the
Businesses Held for Sale, plus cash collections in respect of, or sales of,
accounts receivable retained by Aviall following the closing of the sale of any
such Businesses and related to such Businesses, in an amount exceeding an
aggregate of $177 million, as adjusted for any increases or decreases as of the
date of the disposition of each such Business in the assets of such Businesses
from an aggregate asset value of all of the assets included in the Businesses
Held for Sale of $177 million; (ii) the repayment pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of
the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") governing Aviall's senior secured
credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), on or prior to the date the
Proceeds Payment is made, of not less than $135 million of principal
indebtedness incurred by Aviall on or prior to the Distribution Date under
Tranche A of the Credit Facilities; and (iii) there not being any Default or
Potential Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), including any Default
or Potential Default that would arise as a result of the Proceeds Payment, as
of the date of the Proceeds Payment, which shall remain uncured and unwaived
from the time of any such Potential Default through and including the date of
the Proceeds Payment. To the extent that the aggregate liabilities assumed by
the buyer(s) of the Businesses Held for Sale are greater than $42 million,
Aviall will borrow up to an amount equal to the amount by which such
liabilities exceed $42 million (as increased or decreased by an amount equal to
the increase or decrease, as the case may be, referred to in clause (i) of this
subsection (b) adjusting the $177 million proceeds threshold for changes in
total asset levels) under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) to satisfy its obligations pursuant to clause (ii) of this
subsection (b).
(c) Aviall agrees that 100% of the purchase price paid for any
Business(es) Held for Sale shall be paid in cash and shall make provision with
any buyer(s) of such Businesses for such cash payment.
(d) Subject to the limitation set forth in the next sentence of this
subsection (d) and to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
subsection (b), at any time on or prior to September 30, 1994, Ryder shall have
the option, in its sole discretion, to elect to receive the Proceeds Payment
(as adjusted pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this subsection (d)) prior
to the consummation of the sale of all the Businesses Held for Sale (the
"Prepayment Election"). Ryder shall not be permitted to exercise the
Prepayment
-13-
<PAGE> 18
Election if the aggregate book value of the assets included in the Business(es)
Held for Sale (excluding deferred accumulated income taxes) with respect to
which a sale shall not have been consummated as of the date Ryder proposes to
make the Prepayment Election is greater than $15 million, with the book value
of each category of assets which have not been sold as of the date of the
proposed Prepayment Election being equal to the lesser of (x) the book value of
such unsold assets as of September 30, 1993 and (y) the book value of such
unsold assets on the date of the Prepayment Election. If Ryder makes a
Prepayment Election, the amount of the Proceeds Payment shall be calculated by
subtracting from the Proceeds attributable to sales of all Businesses Held for
Sale which are sold on or prior to the date of the Prepayment Election, the
book value of the assets which are so sold. In the event of any Prepayment
Election, Ryder shall not be entitled to any further payment from Aviall with
respect to any Business(es) Held for Sale which have not been sold at the time
of the Prepayment Election.
(e) If at September 30, 1994 or such earlier time as the Proceeds
Payment is made, any amount of Sale Proceeds is held in escrow or subject to a
deferred payment mechanism ("Deferred Proceeds"), then the Proceeds Payment
shall then be calculated on the basis of the Sale Proceeds which have
theretofore been received, and if the Proceeds Payment is made before the
disposition of the Deferred Proceeds is resolved, Aviall shall make
arrangements which are reasonably satisfactory to Ryder to provide for the
payment to Ryder, when and if the disposition of the Deferred Proceeds is
resolved, of an amount equal to Ryder's proportionate share of the Deferred
Proceeds, as determined pursuant to subsection (a). If the disposition of any
of the Businesses Held for Sale includes the payment of Deferred Proceeds, then
Aviall shall structure the payment of any such Deferred Proceeds such that
Ryder shall be a direct beneficiary of any escrow or similar deferred payment
mechanism.
(f) If post-closing adjustments (other than post-closing payments
arising as a result of the parties' indemnification obligations, excluding
indemnification obligations with respect to which payments are made on or prior
to September 30, 1994) are made (other than Deferred Proceeds paid pursuant to
subsection (e) above) pursuant to the purchase agreement(s) with respect to the
Businesses Held for Sale which, had they been taken into account at the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreement(s), would
result in a change in the amount of the Proceeds Payment, then Ryder shall make
a payment to Aviall or Aviall shall make a payment to Ryder, as appropriate, to
-14-
<PAGE> 19
adjust the Proceeds Payment to the amount which would apply had such
post-closing adjustments been taken into account at the applicable consummation
of the transactions contemplated by such agreement(s).
(g) At any time on or prior to the earlier of the date on which Ryder
makes a Prepayment Election and September 30, 1994, Ryder shall have the
option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to purchase from Aviall all
accounts receivable retained by Aviall following the closing of the sale of any
of the Businesses Held for Sale and related to such Businesses. The purchase
price to be paid to Aviall for such accounts receivable shall be the book value
of such accounts on the date that Ryder exercises its option to purchase
pursuant to this subsection (g).
(h) Aviall covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to consummate
the sale(s) of the Businesses Held for Sale on or prior to September 30, 1994
and not to take any actions which would be inconsistent with a consummation on
or prior to such date, or which would result in depriving Ryder of the Proceeds
Payment. Aviall further covenants that, from and after the date hereof, Aviall
shall afford Ryder and its designated representatives full access to all
records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data within
Aviall's and Aviall's accountants' and advisors' possession relating directly
or indirectly to any of the Businesses Held for Sale and shall make available
to Ryder, at Ryder's request and in Ryder's sole discretion, all personnel of
Aviall and of Aviall's accountants and advisors having information relating to
the Businesses Held for Sale or the sale process with respect to such
Businesses. Any information to which Ryder shall have had access pursuant to
this subsection (h) shall be treated as confidential pursuant to Section 5.05
of this Agreement.
(i) "Proceeds" shall mean the aggregate proceeds (the "Sale Proceeds")
received by Aviall, plus any liabilities assumed by the buyer in connection
with the sale of any assets of the Businesses Held for Sale, plus any amounts
arising pursuant to subsection (j), net of reasonable transaction costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the sale of any of the Businesses Held for
Sale to the extent such costs were not charged against an accrual related to
the Businesses Held for Sale.
(j) For purposes of determining the amount of the Proceeds Payment,
any accruals by Aviall attributable to the Businesses Held for Sale (as
described in the "Businesses Held for Sale and Restructuring Charges" note to
the Aviall
-15-
<PAGE> 20
Combined Financial Statements for the three years ended December 31, 1992 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1993) which are reversed or are to be
reversed (in either case, in whole or in part) in connection with the sale of
one or more of the Businesses Held for Sale and the transactions related
thereto shall increase, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Proceeds received by
Aviall for purposes of determining the allocation of such Proceeds pursuant to
this Section 3.11; provided, further, that, in determining the amount of such
Proceeds and the allocation thereof, the aggregate amount of all accruals
reversed (in whole or in part) by Aviall shall not be deemed to exceed an
aggregate of $10 million for purposes of increasing the amount of Proceeds.
Any net increases in reserves or in accruals after the Distribution Date, or
any new reserves or accruals established after the Distribution Date, shall be
disregarded and shall not be deemed to reduce the Proceeds attributable to the
Businesses Held for Sale for purposes of determining the amount of such
Proceeds and the allocation thereof pursuant to this Section 3.11.
(k) Aviall shall perform its obligations under Section 3.4(b) of the
Credit Agreement, and any subsequent amendment or waiver of such provision, or
of the defined terms used therein, from the provisions of such Section 3.4(b)
as in effect on the date hereof shall not be given effect for purposes of this
Section 3.11.
(l) For purposes of this Section 3.11, "Businesses Held for Sale"
shall mean Aviall's (i) Business Aviation/Forest Park Facility (including
Allison distribution rights); (ii) Burbank Facility; (iii) Allison 501 Program
Assets; (iv) Dallas/Love Field Fixed Base Operation; and (v) Aviation Sales
Unit.
(m) Aviall shall provide to Ryder, on a monthly basis, the following
schedules related to the status of the Businesses Held for Sale: (i) a
consolidating balance sheet showing in reasonable detail all of the assets and
liabilities of each of the Businesses Held for Sale; (ii) a consolidating
statement of operations showing in reasonable detail all of the revenues and
expenses of the Businesses Held for Sale (regardless of the fact that these
revenues and expenses are not included in Aviall's total results of
operations); (iii) a schedule of the accruals originally included in the $177.7
million loss on planned disposal of Businesses Held for Sale, which schedule
shall show the original June 30, 1993 accrual balances and the usage of each of
these accruals by month with reasonable explanation of each individual charge
against each of such accruals; and
-16-
<PAGE> 21
(iv) a schedule which reconciles the Proceeds received by Aviall on an interim
basis for any of the Businesses Held for Sale to the Proceeds Payment due Ryder
upon resolution of criteria listed in subsections (b) and (d), with all amounts
of Deferred Proceeds separately identified on such schedule. Any information
provided to Ryder under this subsection (m) shall be treated confidential
pursuant to Section 5.05 of this Agreement.
(n) In the event of any dispute between Ryder and Aviall regarding the
amount of the Proceeds Payment and if, at the time of such dispute, Peat
Marwick are the independent auditors for both Ryder and Aviall, Peat Marwick
shall review the calculations of the Proceeds Payment submitted by each of
Ryder and Aviall and shall act as arbitrator of any such dispute. If, at the
time of such dispute, Peat Marwick are not the independent auditors for both
Ryder and Aviall, then the parties shall select another nationally recognized
certified public accounting firm, which does not serve as independent auditors
for either Ryder or Aviall, to resolve any such dispute. All decisions of Peat
Marwick or such other firm shall be final, conclusive and legally binding on
Ryder and Aviall with respect to the amount of the Proceeds Payment. Each of
Ryder and Aviall shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of Peat Marwick or
such other firm.
Section 3.12 Release of Guaranty.
(a) In addition to any other payment required to be made by Aviall to
Ryder in connection with the Distribution, and subject to subsection (b) of
this Section 3.12, on the Distribution Date and quarterly on the last day of
each quarter following the Distribution Date (each, a "Guaranty Payment Date"),
commencing on March 31, 1994, Aviall agrees to pay to Ryder an annual amount
equal to 2-3/4% of the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness (as
defined below) outstanding on any such Guaranty Payment Date (the "Guaranty
Fee"). The Guaranty Fee shall be payable in consideration of Ryder's
continuing guaranty (the "Guaranty") pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement dated
as of December 6, 1988 between European Investment Bank ("EIB") and Ryder
relating to certain indebtedness of Ryder Airline Services Limited (formerly
Caledonian Airmotive Limited) to EIB (the "Indebtedness"). As of the date
hereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness was approximately
$25 million.
(b) The Guaranty Fee shall cease to be due and payable commencing on
the last day of the quarter in which the Guaranty shall have been released
pursuant to this Section 3.12.

(c) Aviall covenants and agrees that it will cause itself or one or
more of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Ryder, effective
on or prior to November 1, 1994, in respect of all obligations of Ryder under
the Guaranty. If Aviall is unable to effect such a substitution with respect
to the Guaranty after using its best efforts to do so, Aviall shall obtain
letters of credit, on terms and from financial institutions satisfactory to
Ryder and EIB, with respect to the Indebtedness covered by the Guaranty. As a
result of the substitution contemplated by the first sentence of this
subsection (c) or the letter or letters of credit contemplated by the second
sentence hereof, Ryder shall cease to have any obligation whatsoever arising
from or in connection with the Guaranty.
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 4.01 Indemnification by Ryder. Except with respect to
employee benefits or other Liabilities to employees, which shall be governed by
the Employee Benefits Agreement, and except with respect to claims for which
Insurance Proceeds or other amounts are received, which shall be governed by
Sections 3.09(d) and 4.03 hereof, Ryder shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Aviall, each Affiliate of Aviall and each of their respective
directors, officers and employees and each of the heirs, executors, successors
and assigns of any of the foregoing (the "Aviall Indemnitees") from and against
any and all Losses of the Aviall Indemnitees arising out of or due to the
failure or alleged failure of Ryder or any of its Affiliates to pay, perform or
otherwise discharge any item set forth on Schedule 4.01 hereto. Anything in
this Section 4.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Ryder nor any Ryder
Subsidiary shall have any liability whatsoever to either Aviall or any Aviall
Subsidiary in respect of any Tax (as such term is defined in the Tax Sharing
Agreement), except as otherwise provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Section 4.02 Indemnification by Aviall. Except with respect to
employee benefits or other Liabilities to employees, which shall be governed by
the Employee Benefits Agreement, and except with respect to claims for which
Insurance Proceeds or other amounts are received, which shall be governed by
Sections 3.09(d) and 4.03 hereof, Aviall shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Ryder, each Affiliate of Ryder and each of their respective directors,
officers and employees and each of the heirs, executors, successors and
-18-
<PAGE> 23
assigns of any of the foregoing (the "Ryder Indemnitees") from and against any
and all Losses of the Ryder Indemnitees arising out of or due to the failure or
alleged failure of Aviall or any of its Affiliates to pay, perform or otherwise
discharge any item set forth on Schedule 4.02 hereto. Anything in this Section
4.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Aviall nor any Aviall Subsidiary
shall have any liability whatsoever to either Ryder or any Ryder Subsidiary in
respect of any Tax, except as otherwise provided in the Tax Sharing Agreement.
Section 4.03 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The amount
which any party (an "Indemnifying Party") is or may be required to pay to any
other party (an "Indemnitee") pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 shall be
reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee, in reduction of the related Loss. If an Indemnitee shall have
received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in
respect of any Loss and shall subsequently actually receive Insurance Proceeds
or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then such Indemnitee shall pay to
such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts actually received (up to but not in excess of the amount of any
indemnity payment made hereunder). An insurer who would otherwise be obligated
to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect
thereto, or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have
any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being expressly understood and
agreed that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a
"windfall" (i.e., a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the
absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification
provisions hereof.
Section 4.04 Procedures for Indemnification.
Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims. Procedures for
Indemnification of Third Party Claims shall be as follows:
(a) If an Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the
assertion by a Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity)
who is not a party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate of either party) or to
the Tax Sharing Agreement of any claim or of the commencement by any such
person of any Action (a "Third Party Claim") with respect to which an
Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to
Section 4.01, 4.02 or any
-19-
<PAGE> 24
other Section of this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall give such Indemnifying
Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of such Third Party
Claim; provided that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided
in this Section 4.04(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe
the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle or
compromise, at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such Indemnifying
Party's own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within 30 days of the receipt of
notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with Section 4.04(a) (or sooner, if the
nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall
notify the Indemnitee of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will
assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election
shall specify any reservations or exceptions. After notice from an
Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a
Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such
Indemnitee under this Article IV for any legal or other expenses (except
expenses approved in advance by the Indemnifying Party) subsequently incurred
by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that if the
defendants with respect to any such Claim include both the Indemnifying Party
and one or more Indemnitees and in any Indemnitee's reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between one or more of such Indemnitees and such
Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim or if the Indemnifying Party
shall have assumed responsibility for such claim with any reservations or
exceptions, such Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel to
represent such Indemnitees and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses
of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying
Party. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for
defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnitee of its election
as provided in this Section 4.04(b), such Indemnitee may defend or (subject to
the remainder of this Section 4.04(b)) seek to compromise or settle such Third
Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Indemnifying Party nor
an Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over the objection of the
other; provided, however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Neither an Indemnifying Party nor an Indemnitee shall
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any Third
Party
-20-
<PAGE> 25
Claim which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee, in the case of a consent or
settlement by an Indemnifying Party, or to the Indemnifying Party, in the case
of a consent or settlement by the Indemnitee, of a written release from all
liability in respect to such Third Party Claim.
(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to
compromise or settle any Third Party Claim, the related Indemnitee shall make
available to such Indemnifying Party any personnel or any books, records or
other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to
make available that are necessary or appropriate for such defense, settlement
or compromise, and shall otherwise cooperate in the defense, settlement or
compromise of such Third Party Claims.
(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.04 to the
contrary, if an Indemnifying Party notifies the related Indemnitee in writing
of such Indemnifying Party's desire to settle or compromise a Third Party Claim
on the basis set forth in such notice (provided that such settlement or
compromise includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant
or plaintiff of a written release of the Indemnitee from all liability in
respect thereof) and the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing that such Indemnitee declines to accept any such settlement or
compromise, such Indemnitee may continue to contest such Third Party Claim,
free of any participation by such Indemnifying Party, at such Indemnitee's sole
expense. In such event, the obligation of such Indemnifying Party to such
Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall be equal to (i) the
costs and expenses of such Indemnitee prior to the date such Indemnifying Party
notifies such Indemnitee of the offer to settle or compromise (to the extent
such costs and expenses are otherwise indemnifiable hereunder) plus (ii) the
lesser of (A) the amount of any offer of settlement or compromise which such
Indemnitee declined to accept and (B) the actual out-of-pocket amount such
Indemnitee is obligated to pay subsequent to such date as a result of such
Indemnitee's continuing to pursue such Third Party Claim.
(e) Any claim on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third
Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the
related Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of 30
days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such
Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 30 day period, such
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed
-21-
<PAGE> 26
to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying
Party does not respond within such 30 day period or rejects such claim in whole
or in part, such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be
available to such party under this Agreement or under applicable law.
(f) In addition to any adjustments required pursuant to Section 4.03,
if the amount of any Loss shall, at any time subsequent to the payment required
by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise, the amount
of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall
promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party.
(g) In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee
in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be
subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to any events
or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right or
claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff
asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other person. Such Indemnitee
shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the
cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated
right or claim.
Section 4.05 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this
Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any
Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies
against any Indemnifying Party.
Section 4.06 Survival of Indemnities. The obligations of each of
Ryder and Aviall under this Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer
by it of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities,
with respect to any Loss of the other related to such assets, businesses or
Liabilities.
ARTICLE V

of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations and for performing this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 5.03 Production of Witnesses. After the Distribution Date,
each of Ryder and Aviall and its respective Subsidiaries shall use reasonable
efforts to make available to the other party and its Subsidiaries, upon written
request, its directors, officers, employees and agents as witnesses to the
extent that any such person may reasonably be required (giving consideration to
business demands of such Representatives) in connection with any legal,
administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting party may from time
to time be involved.
Section 5.04 Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by
law or agreed to in writing, each of Ryder and Aviall shall retain, and shall

and Aviall Subsidiaries, respectively, all significant Information relating to
the business of the other and the other's Subsidiaries. In addition, after the

<PAGE> 28
such Information shall provide no less than 30 days' prior written notice to
the other, specifying in reasonable detail the Information proposed to be
destroyed or disposed of and (b) if a recipient of such notice shall request in
writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal that any
of the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such
requesting party, the party proposing the destruction or disposal shall
promptly arrange for the delivery of such of the Information as was requested
at the expense of the party requesting such Information.
Section 5.05 Confidentiality. Each of Ryder and the Ryder
Subsidiaries on the one hand, and Aviall and the Aviall Subsidiaries on the
other hand, shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in strict
confidence, all Information concerning the other in its possession or furnished

or the Tax Sharing Agreement (except to the extent that such Information has

release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors,
attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors,
unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, as
advised by its counsel, by other requirements of law.

the representations made to, and opinion obtained from, counsel in connection
with the Distribution (in the absence of a controlling change in law or
circumstances) and shall be filed on a timely basis (including extensions) by
the party responsible for such filing under this Agreement. In the absence of
a controlling change in law or circumstances, all Tax Returns filed after the
date of this Agreement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the
elections, accounting methods, conventions, and principles of taxation used for
the most recent taxable periods for which Tax Returns involving similar Tax
Items have been filed, to the extent that a failure to do so would result in a

Agreement, all decisions relating to the preparation of Tax Returns
-3-
<PAGE> 5
shall be made in the sole discretion of the party responsible under this
Agreement for such preparation.
Section 2.02 Pre-Distribution Tax Returns. (a) Consolidated Returns.
The Ryder consolidated federal income Tax Returns required to be filed for all
periods ending on or before December 31, 1993 shall be prepared and filed by

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF TAXES
Section 3.01 Allocation of Tax Liabilities With Respect to Unfiled
Returns.
(a) Consolidated Federal Income Tax Liabilities. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Ryder shall pay, on a timely basis, all Taxes due
with respect to the consolidated federal income tax liability for the taxable
year ending December 31, 1993 of the affiliated group of which Ryder is the
common parent. Aviall on behalf of the Aviall Group hereby assumes and agrees
to pay the Aviall
-4-
<PAGE> 6
Group's share of those Taxes for the period commencing on January 1, 1993 and
ending on the Distribution Date (the "Short Period"), which payments shall be
made directly to Ryder which shall then forward such Aviall payment to the IRS
together with its own payments, if any.
The Aviall Group's allocable share of the consolidated federal income
tax liability for the Short Period shall be determined in accordance with the
Ryder System, Inc. Tax Sharing Arrangement between Ryder System, Inc. and its
Domestic Subsidiaries (the "Prior Agreement"). In the event that the Aviall
Group has a net operating loss for the Short Period, Ryder shall make a payment
to Aviall in accordance with the Prior Agreement with respect to the Aviall
Group.
If the calculations made pursuant to this Section 3.01(a) indicate that
the Aviall Group has either overpaid or underpaid its share of the consolidated
federal income tax liability for the Short Period, then at the time that
Ryder's 1993 consolidated federal income tax return is filed, Ryder shall pay
Aviall the amount of any such overpayment or Aviall shall pay Ryder the amount
of any such underpayment.
All calculations and determinations required to be made pursuant to
this Section 3.01(a) shall be made by Ryder on a basis reasonably consistent
with prior years, whose good faith determination shall be binding upon the
parties hereto in the absence of mathematical error.
(b) Combined and Unitary Corporate Income Taxes. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, Ryder shall pay, on a timely basis, all Taxes due
with respect to any combined and unitary state and local corporate income tax
liability for the taxable year ended December 31, 1993 with respect to Tax
Returns that include a member of the Ryder Group and a member of the Aviall
Group ("Combined Taxes"). Aviall hereby assumes and agrees to pay the Aviall
Group's share of Combined Taxes in accordance with the Prior Agreement for the
Short Period, which shall be made by Aviall to Ryder, which shall then forward
such Aviall payment to the appropriate authority together with its own payment,
if any.
If the calculations made pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) indicate that
Aviall has either overpaid or underpaid its share of its Combined Tax
liability, then at such time as Ryder shall reasonably determine, but in any
event not later than December 31, 1994, Ryder shall pay Aviall the amount of
any such overpayment or Aviall shall pay Ryder the amount of any such
underpayment.
-5-
<PAGE> 7
All calculations and determinations required to be made pursuant to
this Section 3.01(b) shall be made by Ryder on a basis reasonably consistent
with prior years, whose good faith determination shall be binding upon the
parties hereto in the absence of mathematical error.
(c) All other Taxes for a taxable year beginning before the
Distribution Date shall be paid by the party responsible under this Agreement
for filing the Tax Return pursuant to which such Taxes are due; provided,
however, that with respect to any state or local income Tax Returns that
include a member of the Ryder Group and a member of the Aviall Group, Taxes
payable with respect to such Returns shall be paid by the parties hereto in
accordance with the Prior Agreement.
(d) Ryder Airline Services Limited and Aviall (UK) Limited (together,
"Aviall's UK Companies"), and Ryder System Holdings (UK) Limited and Ryder
Public Limited Company, hereinafter known as (together, "Ryder's UK Companies",
and each of the four companies individually being a "Group Member") are
eligible to, and have historically, filed under the Group Relief provisions of
the United Kingdom's tax law. Each Group Member agrees to participate and
cooperate in filing under Group Relief for the open years, 1991-1993. Each
Group Member agrees to sign the appropriate statement informing Inland Revenue
that they wish to Claim a Loss or Surrender a Loss, as applicable. The Claim
and Surrender statements will be prepared by Ryder and will follow the order as
set out hereinafter. First, any Group Member generating a loss during the
current year has the right to carry that loss back against its profits from an
earlier year. Second, any Group Member that has a loss carryforward from a
previous year must first use that loss in the current year. Third, the full
amount of any Aviall UK Company loss will first offset any Aviall UK Company
profit. Fourth, the full amount of any Ryder UK Company loss will first offset
any Ryder UK company profit. Fifth, the right to surrender any remaining
losses to other Group Members is in the following order: Ryder System Holdings
(UK) Limited, Aviall (UK) Limited, Ryder Airline Services Limited, and finally
Ryder Public Limited Company. After transfer of losses within the Aviall UK
group and within the Ryder UK group all remaining losses shall be claimed among
the Group Members as agreed by the Group Members in any order or method that
provides the greatest tax relief for the Group as a whole.
-6-
<PAGE> 8
Payment is due to the Group Member surrendering a loss (Surrendering
Corporation) from the Group member accepting the loss (Accepting Corporation)
in an amount that shall be equal to the amount of the loss surrendered to the
Accepting Corporation from the Surrendering Corporation multiplied by the
maximum statutory tax rate that would have applied to the Surrendering
Corporation for the year in which the Accepting Corporation utilizes the loss.
Payment shall be made at the point in time that the Accepting Corporation would
normally be required to make a payment of tax for the year in question under
United Kingdom law.
If the Accepting Corporation has disclaimed capital cost allowance in
order to increase its taxable income to make use of a tax loss of a
Surrendering Company, thereby providing the best and most effective way of
reducing the Group's overall corporation tax bill, then payment for the use of
the loss shall be made as the disclaimed capital cost allowance is subsequently
claimed in the Accepting Corporation's Tax Computations.
If the original Tax Computations upon which payments for use of loss
are made are subsequently revised for any reason, then the Surrendering
Corporation or the Accepting Corporation shall cause payment to be made to the
other (whichever is applicable) within 30 days of the date on which the new
computations are accepted by Inland Revenue.
Any disputes between the Group Members with regard to any and all
matters either covered in this Section 3.01(d), or with regard to any group
relief issue not covered by this Agreement, shall be resolved by the Vice
President of Corporate Tax for Ryder in good faith. Such decisions shall be
final and binding upon all Group Members.
Section 3.02 (a) Permanent Change in Filed Returns. If a Final
Determination has been made regarding a Tax Return with respect to any taxable
period beginning before the Distribution Date and ending on or before December
31, 1993, and as a result thereof any Permanent Tax Benefit or Permanent Tax
Detriment is changed (a "Permanent Change"), then:
(i) If in connection with any such Permanent Change, the amount of the
change in Permanent Tax Detriments generated by or attributable to Aviall
Businesses with respect to such return ("Aviall Permanent Tax Detriments")
exceeds the amount of the change in Permanent Tax Benefits generated by or
attributable to Aviall Businesses with respect to such return ("Aviall
Permanent Tax Benefits"), Aviall hereby assumes and agrees to pay to the
appropriate authority, or to Ryder to
-7-
<PAGE> 9
the extent payment cannot be made directly to such authority or to the extent
the liability for Taxes due to such authority is not increased, to the extent
not previously paid to Ryder, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of
(x) the amount by which Aviall Permanent Tax Detriments exceed Aviall Permanent
Tax Benefits and (y) the actual marginal regular tax rate applicable with
respect to the relevant Tax Return, with appropriate adjustment to account for
Tax credits included in such calculation, and (B) any applicable interest or
penalties, if any, which is or has been imposed by any taxing authority with
respect to such Aviall Tax Detriments or any interest which would have been
imposed but for an offsetting Permanent Tax Benefit solely attributable to the
Ryder Group.
(ii) If in connection with any such Permanent Change, the change in Aviall
Permanent Tax Benefits exceed the change in Aviall Permanent Tax Detriments,
Ryder shall pay to Aviall, to the extent not previously paid, the sum of (a)
the product of (x) the amount by which Aviall Permanent Tax Benefits exceed
Aviall Permanent Tax Detriments and (y) the actual marginal regular tax rate
applicable with respect to the relevant Tax Return, with appropriate adjustment
to account for Tax credits included in such calculation, and (b) any applicable
interest that is or has been paid by the applicable taxing authority or that
would have been payable but for any offsetting Permanent Tax Detriment solely
attributable to the Ryder Group.
(b) Timing Differences. Ryder shall be liable for and shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Aviall Group from and against any increase in Tax
Detriments resulting from a Final Determination with respect to a Tax Return
relating to a taxable period ending on or before December 31, 1993 if: (i) such
Return includes a member of the Ryder Group and a member of the Aviall Group,
and (ii) the increase in Tax Detriments will result in an increase in Tax
Benefits (other than an increase in nonamortizable tax basis) in a prior or
subsequent period (a "Timing Difference"). Aviall agrees to pay Ryder when it
utilizes the Tax Benefit resulting from any such Timing Difference at the
actual regular marginal tax rate (with appropriate adjustment for Tax credits)
at which the Aviall Group utilizes such Tax Benefit.
(c) Separate Return Liabilities. Ryder shall be liable and shall
indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Aviall Group from and against
all Taxes for all periods with respect to Tax Returns that only include members
of the Ryder Group, and Aviall shall be liable and shall indemnify and hold
harmless each member of the Ryder Group, from and
-8-
<PAGE> 10
against all Taxes for all periods with respect to Tax Returns that only include
members of the Aviall Group.
(d) Calculation of Amounts. All calculations and determinations
required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be made by Ryder on a
basis reasonably consistent with prior years, whose good faith determination
shall be binding on the parties hereto, in the absence of mathematical error.
Section 3.03 Liability for Taxes with respect to Post-Distribution
Periods. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Ryder Group shall
pay all Taxes and shall be entitled to receive and retain all refunds of Taxes
with respect to periods beginning after the Distribution Date which are
attributable to Ryder Businesses. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
the Aviall Group shall pay all Taxes and shall be entitled to receive and
retain all refunds of Taxes with respect to periods beginning after the
Distribution Date which are attributable to Aviall Businesses.
Section 3.04 Carrybacks. Aviall agrees that it will not carryback any
Tax Item arising after the Distribution Date to a taxable period ending on or
before the Distribution Date with respect to a Tax Return which includes a
member of the Ryder Group, without the consent of Ryder, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that Aviall does carryback any such
Tax Item with Ryder's consent, any Taxes realized thereby shall be paid over to
Aviall.

taxing authority and shall control all audits and similar proceedings. The
Responsible Party agrees to cooperate in the settlement of any Indemnity issue
with the other party and to take such other party's interests into account. If

otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for
refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding.
(d) If any member of the Ryder Group or the Aviall Group, as the case

4.03 by (i) the dates, specified in subsection (a) hereof or, (ii) with respect
to information not requested pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, within a
reasonable period, as determined in good faith by the party requesting

with the engagement of such public accountants.
(e) If any member of the Ryder Group or the Aviall Group, as the case
may be, supplies information to a member of the other Group pursuant to this
Section 4.03 and an officer of the requesting party signs a statement or other
document under penalties of perjury in reliance upon the accuracy of such

hold harmless each member of the Aviall Group and its directors, officers and
employees, and Aviall agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the
Ryder Group and its directors, officers and employees from and against any
cost, fine, penalty or other expense of any kind attributable to the negligence

any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Aviall further agrees
that except as specifically set forth in the opinion of counsel including any
representations and facts or explanation of business purpose included therein,

meaning of Section 355(b)(2) of the Code, (ii) it shall not redeem any shares
of Aviall stock and (iii) it will neither liquidate nor merge with any other

be satisfactory to Ryder, or pursuant to a favorable ruling letter obtained
from the IRS and satisfactory to Ryder, such act or omission would not
adversely affect the federal income tax consequences of the Distribution to any
of Aviall, Ryder or the stockholders of Ryder, as set forth in any opinion
issued by counsel. In addition, Aviall agrees to indemnify and hold Ryder, its
employees, officers, directors and agents harmless from and against the results

EXHIBIT 11.1 Statement regarding computation of per share earnings.
<PAGE> 2
Exhibit 11.1
Statement re Computation of Per Share Earnings
Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to
common shares by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period.
For purposes of computing primary earnings per share, common equivalent shares
include the average number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of all
employee stock options and awards and outstanding employee stock subscriptions,
if dilutive, less the common shares which could have been purchased at the
average market price during the period, with the assumed proceeds, including
"windfall" tax benefits, from the exercise of the options, awards and
subscriptions.
Fully-diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing the sum of earnings
available to common shares and dividends on preferred shares, if any, that are
potentially dilutive by the weighted average number of common shares, common
equivalent shares and common shares assumed converted from potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during the period.
For purposes of computing fully-diluted earnings per share, common equivalent
shares are computed on a basis comparable to that for primary earnings per
share, except that common shares are assumed to be purchased at the market
price at the end of the period, if dilutive. Common shares assumed converted
from potentially dilutive securities in the twelve-month periods ended December
31, 1992 and 1991, include common shares that would have been issuable upon the
conversion of the Registrant's Fixed Rate Auction Preferred Stock, Series A and
B (collectively the "FRAPS"), at the applicable rate which would have resulted
in the greatest potential dilution. For the twelve-month periods ended
December 31, 1992 and 1991, the FRAPS were antidilutive. In the second quarter
of 1993 the Company redeemed all of the FRAPS. The FRAPS have therefore not
been considered potentially dilutive securities in the computation of
fully-diluted earnings per share for the twelve-month period ended December 31,
1993.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

M. Anthony Burns
1993 was a good year for Ryder. Culminating with the December spin off of
Aviall, Inc., we completed the transition of the company into a more clearly
defined, focused highway transportation services company. We have a sharper
vision and are more productive and efficient. The results confirm that we are
on the right track.
In 1992, we established a Strategy Council in the company, composed of 13
senior executives. The Council meets regularly to review and develop strategic
consensus, then supervise implementation of key strategies for the future
direction of the company.
One of our earliest decisions was to establish a vision for the company. Our
vision is to provide Ryder customers with the best transportation services in
the world. The fact that the vision statement mentions customers early is no
accident. Our customers come first in everything that we do. In today's market,
customers are seeking greater value, so only by creating customer value can we
create shareholder value and reach our goal of 17% return on equity in the mid
1990s.
Another key action of the Strategy Council was the identification of Ryder's
core competencies: asset management and logistics. In these competencies we
feel we have unique advantages that we can leverage for competitive advantage
in the changing marketplace.
CONTINUING PROGRESS IN 1993
In 1993, we had four key goals: improve our aviation business, accelerate the
growth in Dedicated Logistics, grow full service truck leasing in an
increasingly competitive marketplace and set the stage for international
expansion. Those were important goals, and we made significant progress toward
their achievement.
The 1993 restructuring of Aviall, Inc. improved the aviation business and the
successful December spin off completed the transition that clearly focuses
Ryder on leveraging its core competencies in highway transportation services.
Our second goal was to accelerate the growth in Ryder Dedicated Logistics, and
we did. The dedicated logistics market is very large and growing rapidly, and
we are a market leader. To continue to be a leader in the market, we are
recruiting, selecting, training and developing excellent people in sales and
marketing, logistics and systems, and operations. We are upgrading our sales
and marketing systems, and we are continuing to invest in our logistics and
information systems.
In 1993, Ryder Dedicated Logistics' revenue and profits were at record levels,
as were sales. This business unit accounted for more than $565 million in
revenue, and our goal is to increase revenue by 20% to 30% annually for the
next few years.
Our third goal was to grow full service truck leasing. This market is also
large and growing, and we are the market leader. We have increased the

size of our full service leasing sales force, and we've established a new
marketing organization which emphasizes better market research and improved
market segmentation techniques. We have increased sales and marketing training
programs, and we have begun to reengineer many of our internal processes in
order to improve customer service and reduce operating costs.
Full service truck leasing revenue, up modestly last year, is heading in the
right direction. This business unit had a very strong fourth quarter in 1993,
with excellent lease sales.
Finally, we wanted to set the stage for international expansion. The
international market for our services is also large and growing. Our operations
in the United Kingdom have improved, and we see opportunities elsewhere in
Europe and in the Americas to leverage our U.S. strength. We plan to take
advantage of new opportunities that are now available to us as a result of the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and we will also evaluate requests
to help some of our current customers as they begin doing business in countries
that might not otherwise be of immediate interest to us.
During 1993, we put our International management team in place. That team is
developing the strategic plan for international expansion and will implement
it.
In 1993, we also saw Ryder Consumer Truck Rental return to profitability.
A focused organization, newer equipment, a new information system --
RyderFIRST(R) -- and enhanced marketing and advertising all contributed to
greatly improved vehicle utilization. Similarly, Commercial Truck Rental
achieved its best vehicle utilization rate since the mid '80s.
The Automotive Carrier Division showed major improvement toward the end of the
year. A restructured organization and increased auto production helped the
division's performance.
FINANCIALLY STRONG
We continue to be pleased with the company's financial strength. Our balance
sheet, smaller than in recent years, is strong; our debt to equity ratio is
good; our 1993 return on equity was over 10% for the first time since 1987; our
cost of capital is low and competitive; and our asset turnover is greater than
100%. The spin off of Aviall, in particular, was a positive factor in improving
our financial strength. It reduced our cost of capital and it increased our
return on equity.
Of course, the proof of our actions is in our earnings. Earnings per share from
continuing operations were up 39% in the fourth quarter of 1993, and they were
up 22% for the full year. For the Vehicle Leasing & Services Division, 1993's
revenue and pretax earnings were the best ever.
1994 OBJECTIVES
Even though 1993 was a good year, we know that we have more work to do. With
the goal of increasing
3
<PAGE> 6
shareholder value by improving customer value, we have four objectives in 1994.
Because we feel we are on the right road to increasing value, they are much
like our 1993 objectives. We want to explode the growth of Ryder Dedicated
Logistics; develop more customized product offerings in full service truck
leasing to increase growth; expand internationally; and improve customer
service and reduce our costs through aggressive reengineering of our own
internal processes.
In today's market, customers are seeking greater value,
so only by creating customer value can we create
shareholder value and reach our goal of 17% return on
equity.
In Dedicated Logistics, we will become the lead logistics provider for more of
our customers. We will leverage our systems and expertise to make our customers
more productive and increase our participation in this large, rapidly growing
market.
In full service truck leasing, we will expand our sales force, increase our
knowledge of our customers' distribution needs, increase our training and
development activities and improve our technology so that we consistently
deliver distinctive customized products and services to convert and retain
customers.
Internationally, we are moving forward. We expect to accelerate our growth in
the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland and other countries where we may have
unique opportunities. Similarly, we are actively looking for opportunities in
Mexico in 1994.
Finally, we will move ahead boldly to reengineer our marketing and sales,
vehicle maintenance, and administration and finance areas. In 1992, we began
to implement RyderFIRST, a $20 million project that has markedly improved the
levels of service we offer to our customers and our dealers and has enhanced
the way we do business in consumer truck rental. In 1993, we began a $27
million project to automate our vehicle maintenance shops and fuel islands. The
new systems, now being installed in our shops across the U.S., will improve
service to our customers and greatly increase our shop productivity. At its
February 1994 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a $47 million technology
project to upgrade important processes in our sales and marketing and finance
operations. These systems will make us even more productive, and our customers
will benefit from significant improvements in every aspect of our relationships
with them.
In addition, we have strategies in place to improve the performance of our
Commercial Truck Rental, Consumer Truck Rental and Automotive Carrier
businesses.
THEMES FOR LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENT
As we develop and implement our business strategies, we also seek to build a
company that is more

dynamic, customer focused and advanced as a whole, and there are three themes
that flow throughout the company. They are: improving our marketing and sales,
upgrading our information systems and enhancing our organizational
effectiveness.
Increased marketing resources will help us stay close to our customers. Our
newly formed Marketing Council brings together all of the marketing talent in
the organization to clearly understand and address our customers' needs,
improve our products and correctly position those products in the marketplace.
We are focusing relentlessly on upgrading and making use of the latest
information system technology. Where it makes sense, either operationally or
commercially, we are taking advantage of computers and information technology
to help drive out costs and improve productivity and service throughout the
company.
In the area of human resources, the need for sales training increases as the
service offerings become more tailored and complex. The increased use of
vehicle electronics challenges us to provide even more training for our service
technicians. Management development and personal development are important in
maintaining organizational effectiveness and in meeting the challenges of
having the right people in the right places at the right time.
A BRIGHT FUTURE
As we look forward, Ryder, its people and its customers face an exhilarating
and rewarding future. Ryder is the biggest and best at what it does. We have
the resources and the vision to stay ahead of the market in offering new
services, new technology and additional information. Reengineering efforts will
improve customer service and enhance productivity, which will result in lower
customer costs.
With our excellent financial condition and good access to capital, we can
continue to expand investments in our base businesses. We intend to be the
partner of choice for customers looking to solve transportation and
distribution problems. And we expect creating value for our customers to
contribute to increasing shareholder value.
Finally, I want to remind our shareholders and our customers that it is Ryder's
people who create this value, who implement solutions, who are the company. I
wish to extend my sincerest thanks and gratitude to them for their
contributions. If Ryder has a secret of success, it is the quality and devotion
of its people. With their help and support, we look confidently to Ryder's
future.

Ask any chief executive or corporate director what's on their minds these days,
and more than likely the answer will be "customer service and productivity" -
improving service to customers while doing more with less to reduce costs and
boost profits.
Growing competition in today's global marketplace and investor pressure to
improve profitability are forcing companies of all sizes to refocus their
processes and right-size their work forces and asset bases.
Perfect productivity is, of course, a goal that can never be reached. A company
continually seeking to increase productivity can always find tasks to be
eliminated or jobs to be done better. When it comes to transportation services,
that search has often led to Ryder. Ryder's more than 60 years of experience in
buying, managing, maintaining and disposing of trucks has relieved customers of
these chores, allowing them to focus on the essential elements of designing,
manufacturing and selling their products.
PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH LOGISTICS
Among all of Ryder's services, the one that offers customers the greatest
productivity improvements is Ryder Dedicated Logistics. Taking all of Ryder's
experience in the management and maintenance of vehicles and enhancing it with
state-of-

the-art in-bound and out-bound logistics systems and expertise, it provides
such customers as General Motors, Chrysler, Dow Jones, Dollar General Stores
and scores of others reductions in cost and improvements in efficiency.
The same benefits are provided to customers of Ryder Public Transportation
Services. Through its local operating units, Ryder Public Transportation
transports more than 420,000 students to school every day in 19 states, manages
or operates 88 public transit systems in 28 states and also provides municipal
fleet management and maintenance services covering thousands of public-owned
vehicles. With its access to Ryder's technology and systems, one of the most
important advantages Ryder Public Transportation offers its customers is
improved productivity with increased control of operating and administrative
costs.
Improving productivity for its customers is also a primary focus of Ryder's
Automotive Carrier Division as it strives to drive down customer costs and
improve the efficiency of automotive distribution. This division, which
transported nearly 6 million cars and trucks for all the major domestic and
foreign manufacturers in 1993, has been providing its customers with
distribution services longer than any other part of the company.
In recent years, its partnership with the automotive manufacturers has
strengthened as both the manufacturers and Ryder have sought to improve
productivity. Direct computer links between the manufacturers and Ryder handle
a variety of tasks ranging from billing to the transmission of information
about vehicles ready for shipment.
While much productivity improvement has been won for both Ryder and its
customers, there is much yet to be accomplished. By creatively implementing new
technologies, Ryder continues to redefine expectations within the
transportation and distribution industries. With this redefinition comes a
greater awareness among the senior managers of customers and potential

customers that their transportation and distribution functions are more than
cost centers. They are areas that can be managed, with help from companies like
Ryder, to increase productivity and profitability.
PRODUCTIVITY INITIATIVES
Like many of its peers, over the past several years, Ryder, too, has placed
increased emphasis on improving productivity -- reviewing, revising and changing
many elements of how the company conducts its business.
Compared with Ryder in the mid 1980s, the company today has a flatter, more
efficient organization. Employees who have daily customer contact have been
empowered to make decisions affecting customer satisfaction. Many parts of the
company are undergoing process reengineering in order to increase customer
focus, improve service quality and enhance financial performance. A multi-year
investment in computers, technology and related training is changing the way
the company runs its business,

markets its services, maintains its vehicles and provides services to its
customers.
EFFICIENT SALES & MARKETING
With the investments Ryder is making in computer technology, customers can find
even greater productivity through their transportation and distribution
systems. For example, Ryder sales people are being equipped with notebook
computers with which they can analyze customers' -- and potential

customers' -- fleet costs. This information, which is developed by combining
Ryder's knowledge with cost data supplied by the customer, can assist customers
in the improvement of their truck fleet's productivity.
Additional software is being developed which will allow Ryder sales people to
involve customers in the preparation of vehicle specifi-

cations right in the customers' offices and immediately begin the purchasing
process. Not only will the process begin more quickly and take far less of the
sales person's time, but use of the computers will eliminate errors that can
result from manual, multi-step order processing and shorten the procurement
cycle.
AUTOMATING MAINTENANCE
Similarly, new computer technology is being installed in Ryder's maintenance
facilities beginning in 1994. Hand-held computers will allow fuel island
attendants to record fueling, mileage and other informa-

tion more quickly, assuring billing accuracy and timeliness, reducing the time
it takes for routine vehicle fueling and servicing, and getting customers'
vehicles back on the road more quickly.
Inside the maintenance shops, new automated shop systems will improve customer
service by reducing vehicle down time, capturing maintenance-related
information about vehicles from the fuel islands' hand-held computers and
increasing shop productivity. Inventory management systems will maintain
optimum levels of parts and supplies, resulting in lower inventory levels and
assuring that parts and service items for customers' vehicles are available
when required. Computer-assisted diagnostic systems will enable technicians to
accurately diagnose vehicle maintenance problems. State-of-the-art information
systems will replace nearly all of the printed manuals and technical
information, giving technicians easy to access maintenance information and, in
many cases, direct on-line access to manufacturers' own maintenance information
systems.
TRUCK RENTAL SYSTEMS
Application of computer technology to the company's consumer and commercial
truck rental businesses has already increased productivity while improving
customer service.
RyderFIRST(R), the installation of which was completed in 1993, is the first
nationwide automation system for dealers in the consumer truck rental industry.
Using RyderFIRST, consumer truck rental dealers can provide customers with
timely and accurate information on vehicle availability. They can also offer
incentive pricing to customers who reschedule their use of a truck from such
heavy utilization times as weekends, for example, to midweek days when vehicles
are more available.
The system provides Ryder Consumer Truck Rental with timely information for
running the business by organizing truck rental reservations, providing sales
scripting to improve telephone sales, tracking truck movements and availability
and, by communicating with a separate yield management system, allowing
immediate updating of rental pricing to manage returns throughout the system.
Computer systems used by Ryder Commercial Truck Rental also facilitate daily
operations. In addition, they maintain important information on national
customers and others who are frequent renters so that doing business with Ryder
is easy and convenient, anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
Ryder knows how to select vehicle specifications and
options, purchase, maintain and dispose of trucks better
than any other company in the world.

MANAGING ASSETS

<PAGE> 16
To improve efficiency, companies are managing their core assets while
outsourcing their non-core activities to others, such as Ryder.
(Photo)
Diagnostic computers allow service technicians to
retrieve information from vehicles' internal
electronic systems.
Efficient management of assets is a key to the success of any business; at
Ryder, managing assets is a core competency. Ryder knows how to select vehicle
specifications and options, purchase, maintain and dispose of trucks better
than any other company in the world. That is an important part of Ryder's
success, and it is also an important part of Ryder's contribution to the
success of its customers. More and more, companies are managing the assets at
the core of their profitability while outsourcing their non-core activities to
others, such as Ryder.
SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING ASSETS
Ryder's assets include a fleet of nearly 170,000 vehicles, more than 1,000
service locations throughout the United States and in Canada, Puerto Rico, the
United Kingdom, Germany and Poland, and state-of-the-art computer systems that
define and distinguish the company's capabilities.
One of the asset management tools being developed by Ryder is a new simplified
asset management system which is being implemented beginning in 1994. When
fully operational, the system will enable Ryder sales representatives to work
with customers in their own offices to determine availability of vehicles to
fill customer requirements, help determine whether customers should retain
existing vehicles or lease new ones and, ultimately, help show how Ryder's
transportation, distribution and logistics capabilities can best serve
customers' needs.
TRUCK PURCHASING MADE EASY
Ryder's asset management expertise is available to customers who lease trucks
from Ryder or who contract with Ryder to provide some or all of their logistics
needs. Simply eliminating the need to go through the

process of purchasing trucks is a major advantage to Ryder customers, and the
company's more than 60 years of experience offers a real advantage in
recommending the most appropriate vehicles for each customer's situation. A
different vehicle would be recommended, for example, for interstate
transportation of heavy freight in mountainous terrain than for transportation
of similar freight in an urban environment, and the differences between the two
vehicles could have significant cost and operating impacts.
PROPER MAINTENANCE IS KEY
Once the vehicles have been purchased, they must be maintained. No organization
in the world is better than Ryder at maintaining trucks.
The company's service technicians are continually trained on the latest vehicle
maintenance procedures, and with the new automated shop system soon to be
operational in each of the service facilities operated by Ryder Commercial
Leasing & Services in the U.S. and Canada, vehicle service will become even
better. No other vehicle mainte-
Ryder Commercial Truck Rental guarantees customer
satisfaction.
nance organization in the world has Ryder's scheduling, inventory management,
computer-assisted diagnostics, electronic information and environmental
management systems.
Vehicle maintenance and having vehicles available for customers' use are
important, so Ryder works with the manufacturers of vehicles and components in
a variety of research and development efforts. Belts, hoses, tires, lubricants,
engines and other mechanical components are often field tested on Ryder trucks.
As a result, Ryder's technicians develop significant knowledge about new
designs and materials. This knowledge provides the company with an excellent
understanding of maintenance costs, helping Ryder to assure its customers that
there will be no maintenance surprises.
Because it has such a large vehicle maintenance operation, Ryder has developed
an industry-leading, pro-active environmental management program. The program
includes responsible disposal or recycling of such things as tires, batteries,
oil, coolants and other vehicle fluids as well as state-of-the-art fuel storage
systems. The ambitious goal of the program is 100 percent recycling of all
vehicle maintenance waste.
15
<PAGE> 18
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE
Under its full service leases, Ryder assumes responsibility for appropriate
licensing of the vehicles, acquisition of permits from various states in which
the vehicles will be operated, payment of taxes, and similar requirements of
vehicle operation. Substitute and additional vehicles are available to
customers from Ryder's truck rental fleets, and Ryder usually extends insurance
coverage and paints vehicles according to customers' preferences. In addition,
such things as vehicle washing, tire maintenance and related services are also
included.
Beyond those strictly vehicle related services, Ryder customers have access to
state-of-the-art safety programs, which help to assure that customers' drivers
are both qualified and properly licensed to operate the equipment to which they
are assigned.
The technology for managing Ryder's large and diverse fleet and the expertise
of the people who manage the technology are significant differentiators for
Ryder in the marketplace.
NO VEHICLE DISPOSAL CONCERNS
Depending on the service in which they are operated, trucks in Ryder's lease
and rental fleets seldom are kept longer than four to seven years. Under its
full service lease agreements, Ryder typically takes the vehicle residual value
risk at the end of the lease, relieving customers of concern about market
conditions several years from the time they sign the lease agreement.
Ryder minimizes its risk by maintaining its vehicles in top condition and by
operating its own used vehicle sales organization in the U.S. and Canada, where
both trucks and school buses are sold. Ryder Road Ready vehicles sold through
Ryder centers are regarded as among the best in the market.
In addition to operating its own sales centers, the company has had success
over the past few years in exporting used vehicles. A number of vehicles have
been exported to Latin America, and some have been sold in Eastern Europe and
Africa.
Such creative solutions to the problem of used vehicle disposal are indicative
of the importance Ryder places on the active and successful management of
assets. The transfer of the benefits of this asset management focus to its
customers is an important reason why so many knowledgeable companies choose to
do business with Ryder.
Ryder Dedicated Logistics works with customers

Out-bound delivery systems for customers like Xerox
involve not only delivery, but also final assembly,
installation and initial training for users.
Ryder's most sophisticated service and the one that makes the fullest use of
the company's core competencies, including asset management and the application
of state-of-the-art technology, is offered by Ryder Dedicated Logistics, a
value-added third-party supplier of contract logistics services. Dedicated
Logistics brings value to its customers by planning, implementing and
controlling the efficient, cost-effective flow and storage of raw materials,
in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of
origin to the point of consumption. In its most complete form, this service not
only relieves a customer of all the burdens of running a transportation system,
it also helps a customer develop efficiencies along the entire logistics supply
chain. Handling challenges ranging from hiring and managing drivers and the
scheduling and transportation of in-bound materials and components through the
delivery of the finished product to the end user, dedicated logistics can
deliver significant productivity gains and cost savings to customers.
Ryder Dedicated Logistics is the company's fastest growing business unit and is
one of the largest presences in its marketplace. Experts predict continued
market growth, because rising distribution costs and increased global
competition have created new logistics challenges in all industries. Businesses
are realizing that outsourcing logistics functions can provide the edge needed
to gain such critical competitive advantages as improved customer service,
lower overall costs, increased flexibility and enhanced control.
RYDER HAS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
For over 25 years, Ryder Dedicated Logistics has been successful in assisting
other firms with improving their transportation and distribution operations and
with lowering their overall cost. Much of this business unit's success has come
from its operating philosophy under which its people consider themselves to be
more than just their customers' business associates, they consider themselves
to be their customers' partners.
In the 1960s, the company began designing and operating dedicated contract
carriage systems for

companies that saw the benefits of outsourcing some or all of their highway
transportation requirements. Computer links were established in later years.
Among the first electronic data interchange (EDI) "pull" systems were those
that allow auto dealers to order parts instantly from manufacturers' regional
warehouses. Using unattended nighttime delivery systems, Ryder's dedicated
contract carriage operations deliver the parts overnight for use the next day.
More recently, just-in-time in-bound delivery systems with electronic data
interchange links were established by Ryder at Saturn's Spring Hill, Tennessee
assembly plant, Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky manufacturing facility and
Chrysler's Jeep(R) Grand Cherokee and Dodge Viper plants in Detroit, Michigan.
LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS
Many customers ask Ryder to work with them on highly complex logistics
challenges. The relationship usually progresses rapidly to more than simply
outsourcing of certain services. It becomes a strategic partnership between the
customer and Ryder, which applies its experience and expertise to analyze and
reconfigure or create an entire supply chain. That chain might require any
number of advanced strategies, including flow-through centers, pool
distribution, contract warehousing, continuous replenishment of inventory,
just-in-time delivery, quick response systems, EDI and more. The benefits of
the new system often include reduction in the customer's inventory levels, an
increase in inventory velocity through the customer's pipelines or elimination
of unnecessary storage facilities.
Ryder's solution development process begins with a blank sheet of paper. The
only "givens" are the requirements of the customer and, often, the customer's
customer. By thoroughly studying and understanding the customer's needs,
Ryder's logistics analysts can design the optimum solution, incorporating only

As the system is designed, refined and accepted by the customer, measurement
and feedback systems are incorporated so that both the customer and Ryder have

customer satisfaction and to pursue continuous improvement of the operation.
These tools, like the systems themselves, are modified and improved as a
routine part of dedicated logistics operations.
CUSTOMERS IN MANY INDUSTRIES
Ryder's expertise in logistics management has been applied to many industries.
For example, the company has provided out-bound logistics to Xerox since 1984.
The out-bound system combines warehousing, final assembly of Xerox machines,
delivery and installation of the equipment and the provision of initial
training for the Xerox customer's staff.
For Montgomery Ward and Mervyn's, Ryder utilizes quick response distribution
systems, which use EDI systems linked to store sales for inventory
replenishment. For Montgomery Ward, Ryder also operates home delivery systems,
taking appliances to the homes of the retailer's customers and installing them.
The company is also beginning to serve the grocery industry with "efficient
consumer response" systems. In all, Ryder provides dedicated logistics services
to over 30 industries representing a diverse cross section of business.
TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGES
Two of the major competitive advantages which Ryder enjoys in the dedicated
logistics market are its proprietary software systems and its team of system
designers who have the knowledge and experience to apply the systems technology
with which to operate,

monitor and measure the performance of logistics systems.
Ryder system-design software, for example, can allow customers to ask "what-if"
questions, examining the implications of hundreds of different solutions for
their specific needs. The system-design software can be used by a manufacturer
to help decide where to locate a new warehouse or it may calculate the costs
and service levels associated with an alternative relay routing solution, where
an over-the-road truck carries product to local or regional distribution points
and locally domiciled trucks handle final delivery. Other software can
determine the number, size and type of local delivery trucks needed to complete
the system. Using this technology, a relay routing system developed by Ryder
Dedicated Logistics for AC Delco, for example, helped reduce the number of
warehouses required for distribution of automotive batteries.
DEDICATED LOGISTICS
DEMAND IS GROWING
Dedicated logistics is a dynamic, fast-changing business, where Ryder enjoys
distinct market leadership. Expansion of Ryder's dedicated logistics business
will come from growth of the market, from development of new logistics
capabilities, and from transfer of this technology to international markets as
opportunities become available. Ryder is already a supplier of dedicated
logistics in Canada and the United Kingdom, and these services will continue to
be in demand as the global marketplace more fully recognizes the efficiencies
and competitive advantages that dedicated logistics systems can offer to
sophisticated manufacturers.

Ryder's strengths in asset management, information technologies and logistics
are solid reasons for its standing as the leading highway transportation
services company. Those same strengths, plus the company's talented work force,
its market leadership in both full service truck leasing and dedicated
logistics and its important logistics partnerships with such well-known
manufacturers as General Motors, Xerox, Chrysler and others, provide Ryder with
a strong foundation upon which to not only continue its industry leadership,
but also to grow in both new and existing markets.
GROWING IN NEW MARKETS
With greater emphasis on marketing, the company is developing new services
within existing product lines, increasing its presence with a larger and more
experienced sales force and exploring opportunities for international growth.
The International Division is pursuing opportunities, often with foreign
subsidiaries of existing U.S. customers, in Europe and the Americas.
At the request of longtime customer Pepsi-Cola, for example, in 1993, Ryder
Transport Services of Germany and Ryder Polska began maintaining a fleet of
nearly 70 vehicles operated by Pepsi-Cola in Warsaw, Poland. That agreement
followed the opening of Ryder's first location in Puerto Rico earlier in the
year to provide full service truck leasing and Ryder Programmed Maintenance for
the Pepsi fleet in that area. Similar opportunities exist with other companies
that are expanding and strengthening their foreign operations.
Ryder's transportation expertise, distribution technology and record of
Ryder believes that a diversified work force is good business,
and it is the company's goal to be a good place to work for all
people.
success give the company an important edge for growth in international markets.
Application of the technology, however, is not simply a matter of turning on a
computer and loading a program. More importantly, it requires properly trained
and motivated people who understand how to apply the technology to customers'
unique situations. In that area, Ryder is particularly well prepared.
TALENTED PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Ryder believes that a diversified work force is not only good business, it is
the right thing to do. It is the company's goal to be a good place to work for
all people, because such traits as intelligence and a willingness to work hard
are not defined by race, gender or physical limitation. Competing in the global
marketplace, Ryder needs the best human resources available.
The company has developed recruiting and training partnerships with local Urban
League affiliates in several U.S. cities and participates in a variety of other
minority recruiting activities. It also recruits at colleges and universities
where high quality women, Hispanics, African Americans and other minority
students are educated, and pursues other avenues to find, recruit and hire the
best people. Once the best people are part of the Ryder work force,
sophisticated training activities designed to improve the performance and
productivity of every employee help assure the quality of both customer
services and planning for the company's future.
Its well trained and motivated work force and leading-edge transportation and
distribution technology help assure that Ryder will maintain its highway
transportation leadership and will grow. With opportunities still emerging in
Europe and with the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement
beginning to define new relationships in the Americas, the future will be
exciting, indeed.

CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY
In the communities where employees live and work, Ryder seeks to provide
leadership that will make a difference in meeting social needs. The company
believes that providing such leadership is not only the right thing to do, but
good business as well.
Ryder channels most of its support through the Ryder System Charitable
Foundation which the company funds with a portion of its profits. While
underwriting a diverse array of projects, the foundation looks most favorably
upon those that will bring minorities and the disadvantaged more fully into
society's economic mainstream.
Reflecting a growing belief that education provides the best hope, significant
disbursements are now made in this area. The most direct forms of educational
assistance are the scholarships and financial aid made available to minority
students at the community college, undergraduate and graduate school levels.
One worthwhile arrangement with the Jackie Robinson Foundation combines college
scholarships with internships at Ryder locations.
The foundation renders indirect, though equally valuable, assistance through
program funding. Commitments range from an endowed teaching chair at Miami-Dade
Community College to general operating support for Florida Memorial College, a
predominantly African-American institution. Another important beneficiary is
the United Negro College Fund.
Also, Ryder's Matching Gifts Program enables employees to help determine which
colleges and universities receive corporate support.
At the K through 12 level, dropout prevention is an important priority. To help
combat unacceptably high dropout rates among Hispanics, Ryder teamed up with
HISPANIC Magazine to sponsor the 1993 Schools of Excellence awards. These
awards pay tribute to five schools nationwide that offer outstanding and unique
programs to prepare Hispanic youths for the next century.
In Ryder's home South Florida community, the company supports Dade County
Public Schools magnet programs in tourism and international business and
finance. These specialized academy programs bridge the gap between the
classroom and the workplace.
Another promising educational investment is Impact II, a voice for teachers in
the national debate on school reform. This nationwide teachers' organization
has issued a declaration of principles as the first step in implementing a
teachers' vision of the future of education in America.
To improve the skills of school administrators, 16 chosen annually as Ryder
Fellows spend a year in Washington attending the Institute for
Educational Leadership's Education Policy Fellowship Program. These mid-career
educators explore challenging public policy and leadership questions.
Outside the scope of its foundation grant program, Ryder furnished immediate
and substantial aid to victims of 1993's devastating Midwest floods. The
company donated cash to the American Red Cross and local United Way
organizations and mobilized fleets of trucks in Des Moines, Kansas City and St.
Louis to haul needed supplies. Meanwhile, employees in flood areas received
assistance from the company's emergency relief fund, established after
Florida's Hurricane Andrew.
In every activity, Ryder strives to be a leader in meeting the highest
standards of corporate citizenship. The company recognizes the importance of
creating opportunities for all people to reach their potential.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Ryder System,Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
OVERVIEW
In addition to successfully completing the spin off of its aviation services
subsidiaries as a new public company ("Aviall, Inc." or "Aviall") in 1993, the
company also continued its strong earnings trend, recording its best results
from continuing operations since 1987. In fact, pretax earnings for Vehicle
Leasing & Services were the highest in its history. In the accompanying
consolidated statements of earnings, Aviall's results of operations have been
combined with those of the company's previously discontinued aircraft leasing
business and reported as discontinued operations (see the "Discontinued
Operations" note to the consolidated financial statements).
The company continued its strong earnings trend,
recording its best results from continuing
operations since 1987.
Earnings from continuing operations in 1993 increased to $115 million, or
$1.43 per common share, compared with $98 million, or $1.17 per common share in
1992, and $31 million, or $0.28 per common share in 1991. The increase in 1993
earnings was primarily attributable to both record revenue and pretax earnings
in Vehicle Leasing & Services, partially offset by lower pretax earnings at
Automotive Carriers, which included a charge of $6 million associated with the
streamlining of that operation. Earnings comparisons were negatively impacted
by the increase in the corporate Federal income tax rate from 34% to 35%,
effective January 1, 1993. The higher 1993 income tax rate increased income tax
expense $10 million, or $0.13 per common share, of which $8 million relates to
a one-time adjustment to accumulated deferred income tax balances.
Revenue in 1993 totaled $4.2 billion, an increase of $197 million, or 5%,
over 1992. This increase was attributable mainly to improvements in revenue
from commercial and consumer truck rental, another year of record revenue from
dedicated logistics and a slight increase in revenue from full service lease.
These increases were somewhat offset by a revenue decline at Automotive
Carriers, due to a decrease in average length of haul combined with extended
model changeover periods and the closure of a General Motors assembly plant. In
1992 revenue increased $168 million, or 4%, compared with 1991. Dedicated
logistics led the 1992 increase in revenue followed by smaller increases at
most of the company's other businesses.
Operating expense in 1993 increased 5% compared with 1992 due primarily to
the company's increased revenue, investments in logistics and other systems
technology, reengineering and intensified marketing and sales efforts in
Vehicle Leasing & Services. Also contributing to the 1993 increase in
operating expense were the Automotive Carriers' streamlining costs and higher
levels of corporate spending. Offsetting some of these increases was a $6
million reduction in workers' compensation expense and a $10 million decrease
in vehicle liability expense as a result of company-wide safety programs and
improved experience with prior years' claims. Operating expense in 1992
increased 4% compared to 1991 due primarily to increased revenue, partially
offset by a $22 million reduction in workers' compensation expense.
Depreciation expense (net of gains) in 1993 decreased slightly compared
with 1992. This decrease was due to gains on vehicle sales in 1993 which were
$20 million higher than in 1992. Higher gains were primarily due to an increase
in the average gain per vehicle sold. Offsetting higher gains was an increase
in depreciation due to an increase in the fleet size needed to support higher
1993 revenues. Depreciation expense also decreased in 1992 compared with 1991
due to higher gains on sale of vehicles of $22 million, which resulted from an
increase in the average gain per vehicle sold. An increase in the number of
vehicles on operating leases also contributed to the 1992 reduction in
depreciation expense.
Interest expense totaled $125 million in 1993, compared with $140 million
in 1992 and $167 million in 1991. The 1993 decrease resulted primarily from
lower average interest rates on the company's debt. Interest expense in 1992
was lower than the previous year due to both a decrease in debt outstanding and
lower interest rates compared with 1991.
Miscellaneous expense totaled $1 million in 1993, compared with $3 million
in 1992 and $7 million in 1991. Miscellaneous expense consists primarily of the
discount associated with sales of receivables on a revolving basis, offset by
net gains associated on the sale of non-operating equipment and property.
The company's effective tax rate for continuing operations was 45.3% in
1993, compared with 40.8% in 1992 and 48.9% in 1991. The increase in the 1993
tax rate resulted primarily from the impact of the increase in the corporate
Federal income tax rate, including the one-time adjustment to accumulated
deferred tax balances. The decrease in the 1992 tax rate compared with 1991
resulted primarily from the impact of a similar amount of non-deductible
expenses on higher pretax earnings, and adjustments made in 1991 to deferred
income taxes to reflect higher state income tax rates.

<PAGE> 27
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," and recorded a pretax charge of $41 million ($25
million after tax, or $0.33 per common share) to establish the resulting
transition obligation. Expense for postretirement benefits for continuing
operations was $5 million in 1993, compared with $3 million in both 1992 and
1991 under the previous accounting policy.
The company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits,"
effective January 1, 1993. The adoption of these statements did not impact
earnings in 1993. However, the company classified its deferred income tax
balances in the 1993 balance sheet in accordance with the provisions of
Statement No. 109. Prior year financial statements have not been restated.
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CASH FLOW
Even with higher levels of capital spending in 1993 and the company's continued
investment in various programs designed to improve future profitability, the
company's cash needs continued to be funded internally through operations,
sales of revenue earning equipment and in 1993, through the repayment by Aviall
of its net indebtedness to Ryder at the time of the spin off. Cash flow from
continuing operating activities was $771 million in 1993, compared with $847
million in 1992 and $647 million in 1991. The decrease in cash flow from
continuing operations in
Even with higher levels of capital spending in 1993 and
the company's continued investment in various programs
designed to improve future profitability, the company's
cash needs continued to be funded internally.
1993 compared with 1992, resulted primarily from several changes in working
capital items, partially offset by higher 1993 earnings from continuing
operations. The most significant working capital change affecting cash flow
comparisons was the impact of a change in the outstanding balance of
receivables sold on a revolving basis between December 31, 1991 and 1992, which
resulted in $115 million of additional operating cash flow in 1992. Impacting
cash flow comparisons for discontinued operations was the 1993 repayment by
Aviall of its net indebtedness to Ryder at the time of the spin off.
Capital expenditures were $1.2 billion in 1993, compared with $1.1 billion
and $598 million in 1992 and 1991, respectively. In full service truck leasing,
1993 capital expenditures increased $157 million compared with 1992, due to an
increase in lease sales. Commercial truck rental capital expenditures in 1993
were $31 million lower than in 1992. Impacting the comparison was unusually
high spending in 1992, due to low spending in both 1991 and 1990. Consumer
truck rental capital expenditures increased $33 million in 1993 compared with
1992, as part of a program to increase the size and reduce the average age of
the fleet in order to match market demand and reduce maintenance costs.
Cash flow from continuing operating activities (excluding sales of
receivables) plus asset sales as a percentage of capital expenditures was 80%
in 1993, compared with 89% in 1992 and 143% in 1991. The ratio in 1991 was
unusually high due to lower capital requirements in that year.
In 1994, management projects that capital expenditures will increase
approximately 10% compared with 1993. The company plans to increase its capital
expenditures for full service truck leasing, commercial truck rental and
student transportation services. The company expects to fund its 1994 capital
expenditures with both internally generated funds and additional financing.
FINANCING
Ryder is a capital intensive company and often depends on external capital. The
company has a variety of financing alternatives available to fund its capital
needs. These alternatives include long- and medium-term public and private
debt, as well as variable-rate financing available through bank credit
facilities and commercial paper. The company also periodically enters into sale
and leaseback agreements for revenue earning equipment, the majority of which
are accounted for as operating leases.
Debt decreased from $1.7 billion at the end of 1992 to $1.5 billion at
the end of 1993. This reduction was primarily due to the repayment of debt with
the proceeds received from Aviall when it repaid its net indebtedness to Ryder
at the time of the spin off. During 1993, the company issued $129 million of
fixed-rate unsecured notes. The company also made $138 million of scheduled
unsecured note payments and repaid $56 million of bankers' acceptances. U.S.
commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 1993, was $84 million, compared
with $95 million at the end of 1992. During the second quarter of 1993, the
company redeemed all of its Fixed Rate Auction Preferred Stock (Series A and B)
for
25
<PAGE> 28
$100 million. The redemption of these securities, which yielded a 10.5%
fixed-rate dividend, allowed the company to take advantage of more economical
financing alternatives.
As explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the
estimated fair value of the company's debt portfolio (excluding capital lease
obligations) exceeded its net book value by 10%, or $150 million, as of
December 31, 1993. This difference reflected current market rates which are
below the interest rates on much of the company's unsecured fixed-rate debt,
most of which was issued during the mid- to late-1980's. Unless the company
chooses to buy back its debt, much of which is not callable at par, this excess
will be reflected through future interest expense above current market rates.
However, the company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements to
manage its interest rate exposure in its existing debt portfolio.
At the end of 1993, available committed lines of credit totaled $609
million. At December 31, 1993, the company had $871 million of debt securities
available for issuance under shelf registrations filed in 1988 and 1992.
The ratio of debt to equity at December 31, 1993 was 155%, compared with
113% at December 31, 1992. The ratio of debt to tangible equity at December 31,
1993 was 202%, compared with 135% at December 31, 1992.

</TABLE>
REVENUE. Revenue for Vehicle Leasing & Services increased 6% in 1993 compared
with 1992. The increase reflected better demand in all of the division's
product lines.
Revenue from full service truck leasing increased 2% in 1993 compared
with 1992 and was relatively flat in 1992 compared with 1991. Revenue in 1993
benefited from an increase in lease sales partly offset by prices lower than
those of previous years' leases (primarily due to lower implicit interest
rates). As a result of the increase in lease sales made in 1993 the average
fleet size was 5% higher than the previous year.
Commercial truck rental revenue increased 16% in 1993 compared with 1992,
reflecting higher demand as a result of a change in vehicle mix to better match
the demands of the market. Also impacting demand in 1993 was the continued
improvement in the U.S. economy. To satisfy the higher demand, the average
fleet size increased approximately 15% in 1993 compared with 1992. Revenue from
commercial truck rental increased 4% in 1992 compared with 1991, primarily as a
result of higher demand.
Consumer truck rental revenue increased 8% in 1993, reflecting higher
demand for both local and long-distance rentals driven by continued improvement
in the U.S. economy, combined with an increase in market share by the product
line. Improvements in revenue per transaction also contributed to the increase
in revenue for local rentals. Consumer truck rental revenue increased 10% in
1992 compared with 1991, primarily as a result of higher demand for local
rentals.
Revenue from dedicated logistics increased 14% in 1993. The revenue
increase was attributable to growing customer demand for this product,
evidenced by the addition of approximately 90 new accounts during 1993.
Investments in logistics technology and intensified marketing and sales efforts
continue to drive revenue growth. For the same reasons, dedicated logistics
revenue increased 20% in 1992 compared with 1991.
Revenue from the division's public transportation services business
increased 7% in 1993 compared with 1992, due to higher revenue from new
contracts and several small acquisitions made in late 1992. The same business
reported revenue that was 19% higher in 1992 compared with 1991, due primarily
to a late-1991 public transit contracting acquisition and slightly higher
student transportation revenue in 1992.
EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Pretax earnings for Vehicle Leasing &
Services increased $70 million in 1993 compared with 1992, the highest earnings
in its history. Overall, higher pretax earnings in 1993 were the result of
increased revenue, a reduction in workers' compensation and vehicle liability
expense, and higher gains on vehicle sales. Offsetting some of these items were
investments in reengineering, marketing and sales programs and logistics and
other systems technology, all designed to improve the future profitability of
the division.
Margin (revenue less direct operating expenses, depreciation
and interest expense) for full service truck leasing increased slightly in 1993
as a result of higher revenue, while margin as a percentage of revenue was
relatively flat com-

pared to the prior year. Full service truck leasing margin in 1992 increased
slightly compared with 1991, primarily as a result of lower interest expense
and a decrease in workers' compensation expense.
26
<PAGE> 29
Commercial truck rental margin and its margin as a percentage of
revenue increased substantially in 1993, reflecting higher revenue, lower
maintenance costs, improved asset utilization and lower interest expense. Lower
maintenance costs resulted from a reduction in the average age of the fleet and
a shift in fleet mix toward lower maintenance vehicles. Both margin and margin
as a percentage of revenue increased significantly in 1992 compared with 1991,
primarily as a result of increased revenue, improved utilization and lower
interest expense.
Consumer truck rental recorded higher margin and an increase in margin as
a percentage of revenue in both 1993 and 1992. Most of the improvements in 1993
and 1992 resulted from revenue growth, better asset utilization and improved
vehicle liability expense. Also contributing to the improvement in margin for
1993 were lower maintenance costs, primarily due to the decrease in the average
age of the fleet.
Dedicated logistics reported higher margin in both 1993 and 1992 as a
result of continued growth in revenue. Margin as a percentage of revenue for
dedicated logistics was relatively flat for all periods. Margin for the
division's public transportation services business increased in 1993 compared
with 1992 primarily as a result of higher revenue, a decrease in vehicle
liability expense and a slight decrease in workers' compensation expense.
Margin for the division's public transportation services business increased in
1992 compared with 1991, as a result of higher revenue.
The impact on pretax earnings in 1993 of higher margin in each of the
division's product lines was partially offset by increases in indirect
operating expenses. These increases were primarily the result of higher
investments in logistics and other systems technology, reengineering, and
higher costs associated with intensified marketing and sales efforts. The
investments in these programs are designed to improve future profitability.
Also positively impacting 1993 results were gains from the sale of vehicles
which increased $21 million. Pretax earnings for the division in 1992 increased
$82 million compared to the prior year, as a result of margin increases,
somewhat offset by a slight increase in indirect operating expenses. Gains from
the sale of vehicles increased $22 million in 1992 compared with 1991.

===========================================================
</TABLE>
REVENUE. Automotive Carriers revenue decreased 2% in 1993 and increased
slightly in 1992. Lower 1993 revenue resulted from a decrease in average length
of haul, due to more long-haul General Motors shipments going by rail, extended
model changeover periods and the closure of a General Motors assembly plant.
Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in the number of vehicles
shipped by the division, resulting from an increase in domestic automobile
sales. Higher revenue in 1992 compared with 1991 reflected a 4% increase in
vehicle shipments, resulting from increased domestic automobile sales in 1992,
partially offset by a decline in average length of haul.
EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Pretax earnings decreased in 1993 primarily as a
result of both the decline in revenue and the impact of a $6 million charge for
the cost of a program to streamline the division's operations. This program
resulted in the elimination of numerous salaried positions in order to
consolidate certain functional responsibilities and is designed to improve the
division's future performance. Pretax earnings were also unfavorably impacted
by higher labor costs, primarily driver salaries, with no commensurate increase
in rates charged to customers. Also impacting pretax earnings was an increase
in cargo damage expense and vehicle liability expense, somewhat offset by a
decrease in workers' compensation expense. Despite only a slight improvement in
revenue, Automotive Carriers pretax earnings increased substantially in 1992
compared with 1991. The increase in earnings resulted from a decline in cargo
damage expense and a decrease in workers' compensation expense primarily as a
result of improved experience with prior years' claims.
During 1992, the automobile transport industry reached a four-year
agreement (retroactive to June 1, 1991) with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters. Significant provisions of the agreement include wage and benefit
increases over the four-year term and certain restrictions on the use of
additional non-Teamster drivers to transport automobiles. As a result of these
provisions, the division's results for 1993 were negatively impacted by wage
and benefit increases.
The division's largest customer, General Motors, accounts for
approximately 55% of the division's revenue. In 1992, General Motors commenced
several major cost reduction programs, including closing certain assembly
plants. The 1993 results have been adversely impacted by some of these
programs.

The decline in Other pretax earnings in 1993 resulted primarily from lower
reimbursement of corporate administrative costs from the divisions combined
with higher levels of corporate spending, including costs associated with
establishing an international corporate management team and development of a
new strategic planning process.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The majority of the company's foreign operations are in Canada and the United
Kingdom. These operations are comprised primarily of full service truck
leasing, commercial and consumer truck rental, dedicated logistics and
automotive carriage. The results of these operations have been included in the
Vehicle Leasing & Services and Automotive Carriers discussions above. In 1993,
revenue and pretax earnings from foreign operations were $311 million and $9
million, respectively, compared with $336 million and $7 million in 1992. The
1993 decrease in revenue was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
against both the Canadian dollar and British pound during 1993 combined with
lower Canadian automotive carriage revenue. The 1993 increase in pretax
earnings was primarily attributable to higher gains on the sale of vehicles in
1993 somewhat offset by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. There are no
current legal restrictions regarding the repatriation of cash flows of the
foreign operations to the U.S.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operations of the company involve storing and dispensing petroleum
products, primarily diesel fuel, regulated under environmental protection laws.
These laws require the company to eliminate or mitigate the effect of such
substances on the environment. In response to these requirements, the company
has upgraded operating facilities and implemented various programs to detect
and minimize contamination.
Capital expenditures related to these programs totaled approximately
$7 million in 1993. The company expects the level of capital expenditures,
primarily related to its underground tank replacement program, to be equal to
1993's level in the near-term. The company incurred $24 million of
environmental expenses in 1993, compared with $23 million in 1992 and $22
million in 1991. Based on increasingly stringent standards imposed by
governmental regulations, management currently expects that environmental
expenses will continue to increase in the near-term.
The ultimate cost of the company's environmental liabilities cannot
presently be projected with certainty due to the presence of several unknown
factors, primarily the level of contamination, the effectiveness of selected
remediation methods, the stage of management's investigation at the individual
sites, and the recoverability of such costs from third parties. Based upon
information presently available, management believes that the ultimate
disposition of these matters, although potentially material to the results of
operations in any one year, will not have a material adverse effect on the
company's financial condition or liquidity. See the "Environmental Matters"
note to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" note to the consolidated
financial statements for a description of new accounting pronouncements and
their expected impact on the company.
OUTLOOK
In 1994, the company will focus on four primary strategies designed to maximize
shareholder value through long-term revenue growth and profitability. The first
of these strategies is to accelerate the growth of our dedicated logistics
operations by increasing our investment in sales and marketing, training and
new systems technology. Second, the company will continue to emphasize the
profitable growth of full service truck leasing through development of
customized product offerings. Third, the company will increase its investment
in the reengineering of its sales and marketing, mainte-

nance, and finance and administration functions. And finally, the company will
continue expansion internationally into high potential countries with high
potential customers.
Strong financial results in 1993 along with the successful spin off of
Aviall have positioned Ryder for continued earnings growth in 1994. Continued
strong earnings improvement in 1994, however, depends to a great extent on
domestic economic growth. The company will continue to focus on maximizing
shareholder value by continuing to invest in programs and initiatives that will
strongly position the company for the long-term.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ryder System, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ryder System,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1993. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ryder
System, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes and for
postretirement benefits other than pensions in 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Ryder System, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include Ryder
System, Inc. and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Lease revenue and other transportation services revenue
is recognized as earned.
CASH EQUIVALENTS. All investments in highly liquid debt instruments with a
maturity of three months or less at purchase are classified as cash
equivalents.
INVENTORIES. Inventories which consist primarily of fuel and truck parts are
valued using the lower of cost (specific identification or average cost) or
market.
REVENUE EARNING EQUIPMENT, OPERATING PROPERTY AND
EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION. Revenue earning equipment, principally vehicles,
and operating property and equipment are stated at cost. Provision for
depreciation and amortization on substantially all depreciable assets is
computed using the straight-line method.
Gains on operating property and equipment sales are reflected in
miscellaneous expense. Gains on sales of revenue earning equipment, net of
costs incurred in preparing the equipment for sale, are reported as reductions
of depreciation expense and totaled $55 million, $34 million and $12 million in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets consist principally of goodwill totaling
$215 million in 1993 and $225 million in 1992. These amounts are reported net
of accumulated amortization of $57 million and $50 million, respectively.
Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis primarily over 40 years.
Goodwill was reduced by $1 million in 1993 and $6 million in 1992 as a result
of the recognition of tax benefits associated with prior year acquisitions.
The company continually reevaluates the propriety of the carrying value of
intangibles as well as the amortization periods to determine whether current
events and circumstances warrant an adjustment to the carrying value or a
revision to estimated useful lives.
ACCRUED INSURANCE AND LOSS RESERVES. The company retains a portion of the risk
under vehicle liability, workers' compensation and other insurance programs.
In addition, the company has indemnified the buyer of its reinsurance
operations (sold in 1989) from adverse loss development in excess of loss
reserves transferred to the buyer. Reserves have been recorded which reflect
the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred but not
reported. Amounts estimated to be paid within one year have been classified as
accrued expenses with the remainder included in other non-current liabilities.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES. Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." The company also adopted Statement No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1993, which
applies to employers who provide certain benefits to former or inactive
employees after employment but before retirement. The statement requires that
the cost of such benefits be recognized over the service period of employees as
these benefits vest or accumulate. The adoption of this statement did not
impact the company's financial position or results of operations.
In June 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 116, "Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions
Made." The statement applies to all entities that receive or make
contributions. The company makes contributions both directly and through the
Ryder System Charitable Foundation. The statement requires that promises to
make contributions be recognized in the financial statements as an expense and
a liability when a promise is made. The provisions of this statement must be
adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. Based on the
company's current level of charitable commitments, the adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect on the company's financial
position or results of operations.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE. The company's foreign operations use the local currency as
their functional currency. For these companies, the impact of currency
fluctuation is included in stockholders' equity as a translation adjustment.
INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS. The company enters into interest rate swap
agreements to manage its third-party interest rate exposure. Amounts to be paid
or received under the agreements are recognized over the terms of the
agreements as adjustments to earnings. Although the company is exposed to
credit loss for the interest rate differential in the event of nonperformance
by the financial institutions which are counterparties to the agreements
described above, it does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
The company had interest rate swap agreements outstanding at December
31, 1993 and 1992 with aggregate notional amounts of $315 million and $215
million, respectively. These swaps mature at various dates through 2003. The
estimated fair value of these swaps at December 31, 1993 and 1992, was an asset
of $4 million and a liability of $0.7 million, respectively.
34
<PAGE> 37
The estimated fair value of the swaps was determined from dealer quotations and
represents the estimated amount the company would receive or pay to terminate
the agreements.
SALES OF RECEIVABLES
The company participates in an agreement to sell, with limited recourse,
undivided percentage ownership interests in certain trade receivables. The
agreement allows the company to sell up to $220 million of such interests on a
revolving basis through September 1995. The costs associated with this program
approximate the costs of issuing commercial paper and are charged to
miscellaneous expense. At both December 31, 1993 and 1992, the outstanding
balance of receivables sold pursuant to this agreement was $220 million.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 7, 1993, the company completed the spin off of its aviation
services subsidiaries as a new public company ("Aviall, Inc." or "Aviall").
Under the terms of the spin off, the company distributed to common stockholders
one share of Aviall, Inc. common stock for each four Ryder System, Inc. common
shares owned. The distribution had the effect of reducing the company's
retained earnings by $314 million.
In the fourth quarter of 1990, the company discontinued its aircraft
leasing business, which included aircraft and other assets. The company
completed its disposition of this business in 1992.
In the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings, Aviall's results
of operations have been combined with those of the company's previously
discontinued aircraft leasing business and reported as discontinued operations.
The net assets of Aviall have been segregated in the 1992 consolidated balance
sheet.
The results of discontinued operations are summarized below:

The loss from discontinued operations in 1993 includes an after tax
charge of $169 million ($2.18 per common share). This charge includes $76
million for the planned disposition of certain businesses; $49 million for the
write off of goodwill associated with those dispositions; $35 million for the
consolidation of some aviation facilities; and $9 million for transaction costs
associated with the spin off.
The 1991 results of discontinued operations include an after tax charge of
$52 million ($0.70 per common share) related to revised estimates of aircraft
disposition losses. Results of discontinued operations for 1992 include an
after tax gain of $6 million ($0.08 per common share) on the final disposition
of the discontinued aircraft leasing business. The gain resulted from higher
proceeds from the sale of aircraft and lower operating costs than anticipated.
Interest expense was allocated to the discontinued businesses based upon
an assumed debt to equity ratio consistent with other similar businesses and
with the company's historical interest allocation method for segment reporting.
Interest expense of $24 million, $33 million and $36 million was included in
the operating results of discontinued operations for 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
The company will continue to guarantee, for a limited period,
approximately $25 million of Aviall's indebtedness to the European Investment
Bank in exchange for a customary guarantee fee. In addition, the company
entered into a formal tax sharing agreement with Aviall that provides that
Aviall will, to the extent not previously paid to the company, be liable for
all Federal, state, local and foreign tax liabilities which are attributable to
Aviall through the distribution date. The amounts owed to the company from
Aviall under this agreement totaled approximately $8 million, and have been
included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the 1993 consolidated
balance sheet.

ACQUISITIONS
The company completed a number of acquisitions during the two-year period ended
December 31, 1992 accounted for using the purchase method. Acquisitions during
this period were not material in relation to the company's total assets. The
consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of the
acquired businesses from the acquisition dates. Had the acquisitions been
consummated at January 1, 1991, consolidated revenue and net earnings for the
two-year period would not have been materially affected.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
connection with these acquisitions follows:

LEASES
OPERATING LEASES AS LESSOR. One of the company's major product lines is full
service leasing of commercial trucks, tractors and trailers. The standard full
service lease requires the company to furnish the customer a vehicle, together
with all services, supplies and equipment necessary for its operation. These
services include maintenance, parts, tires, licenses, taxes, a substitute
vehicle if needed and, in most cases, fuel. The agreements provide for a fixed
time charge plus a fixed per-mile charge and, in some instances, a provision
for guaranteed mileage. A portion of these charges is often adjusted in
accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index.
DIRECT FINANCING LEASES. The company leases additional revenue earning
equipment under agreements that are accounted for as direct financing leases.
The provisions of these lease agreements are essentially the same as operating
leases, except some of the direct financing leases contain residual value
guarantees. The net investment in direct financing leases consists of:

=====================================================================
</TABLE>
OPERATING LEASES AS LESSEE. The company leases vehicles, facilities and office
equipment under operating lease agreements. The majority of these agreements
are vehicle leases which specify that rental payments be adjusted every six
months based on changes in interest rates and provide for early termination at
stipulated values. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, rent expense was $137 million,
$132 million and $116 million, respectively.
CAPITAL LEASES. The company enters into vehicle lease arrangements accounted
for as capitalized leases. Capital leases entered into during the three-year
period ended December 31, 1993, were not material. Capital leases are amortized
over the effective economic lease term. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the
investment in capitalized lease equipment net of accumulated amortization was
$28 million and $50 million, respectively.

The amounts on the previous table are based upon the assumption that
revenue earning equipment will remain on lease for the length of time specified
by the respective lease agreements. This is not a projection of future fixed
lease revenue; no effect has been given to renewals, new business,
cancellations or future rate changes.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. Additionally, deferred tax balances are
adjusted in periods that include the enactment of tax rate changes. The
adoption of this statement, which was made on a prospective basis, did not have
a material impact on the company's financial condition or results of
operations. The company classified its deferred income tax balances in
accordance with the provisions of the statement in the 1993 consolidated
balance sheet. Prior to 1993, the company followed the accounting for income
taxes prescribed by Statement No. 96.
The total provision for income taxes (excluding taxes related to
discontinued operations and cumulative effect of change in accounting) includes
the following components:

</TABLE>
At December 31, 1992, the company's deferred income tax liability
reflected the impact of "temporary differences" between the amount of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts for tax
purposes as determined pursuant to Statement No. 96. The most significant type
of
37
<PAGE> 40
temporary difference that gave rise to these deferred tax liabilities
related to higher tax depreciation over book depreciation. This was partially
offset by the temporary difference created by expenses for book purposes being
in excess of amounts currently deductible for tax purposes (primarily accrued
insurance and loss reserves).
Deferred taxes have not been provided on temporary differences related to
investments in foreign subsidiaries that are considered permanent in duration.
These temporary differences consist primarily of undistributed foreign earnings
of $47 million at December 31, 1993. A full foreign tax provision has been made
on these undistributed foreign earnings. Determination of the amount of
deferred taxes on these temporary differences is not practicable due to foreign
tax credits and exclusions.
The company had unused investment tax credits, for tax purposes, of $3
million and unused alternative minimum tax credits, for tax purposes, of $35
million at December 31, 1993, available to reduce future income tax
liabilities. The investment tax credits are expected to be utilized before
their expiration, ranging from 1997 to 1998, and have been reflected in the
financial statements as a reduction of deferred income taxes.
Income taxes paid totaled $52 million in 1993, $44 million in 1992 and $41
million in 1991 and include amounts related to both continuing and discontinued
operations.

To support the company's outstanding U.S. commercial paper, the
company maintains two revolving credit agreements. The primary agreement, with
a total commitment of $500 million, has no expiration date. The second
agreement, with a total commitment of $150 million, expires in December 1994.
No compensating balances are required for either of these facilities and the
agreements carry annual commitment fees of 1/8% to 1/4%. There were no
borrowings under either of these agreements during 1993 or 1992. The company
had $567 million available under these agreements at December 31, 1993. The
company also has available other committed lines of credit totaling $42 million
as of December 31, 1993. The weighted average interest rate for outstanding
U.S. commercial paper was 3.63% at December 31, 1993.
The primary revolving loan agreement contains the most restrictive
covenants as to the payment of cash dividends. As of December 31, 1993,
approximately $90 million of consolidated retained earnings were available for
the payment of cash dividends.
The estimated fair value of the company's debt (excluding capital lease
obligations) was $1.65 billion at December 31, 1993 and $1.69 billion at
December 31, 1992. This compares to the net book value of $1.50 billion at
December 31, 1993 and $1.61 billion at December 31, 1992. The estimated fair
value of debt was calculated by discounting future cash flows through estimated
maturity using the borrowing rate currently available to the company for debt
of similar maturity.
Interest paid totaled $154 million in 1993, $187 million in 1992 and $210
million in 1991 and includes amounts related to both continuing and
discontinued operations.

In 1993, the company redeemed all of its outstanding Fixed Rate Auction
Preferred Stock (Series A and B) for $100 million.
At December 31, 1993, the company had 77,294,484 Preferred Stock
Purchase Rights (Rights) outstanding. The Rights were issued in March 1986 as a
dividend to common shares outstanding and expire in 1996. The Rights contain
provisions to protect shareholders in the event of an unsolicited attempt to
acquire the company which is not believed by the Board of Directors to be in
the best interest of shareholders. The Rights are evidenced by common stock
certificates, are subject to antidilution provisions, and are not exercisable
or transferable apart from the common stock until ten days after a person, or a
group of affiliated or associated persons, acquires beneficial ownership of 10%
or more, or makes a tender offer for 30% or more, of the company's common stock.
The Rights entitle the holder, except such an acquiring person, to purchase at
the current exercise price of $100 that number of the company's common shares
which at the time would have a market value of $200. In the event the company
is acquired in a merger or other business combination (including one in which
the company is the surviving corporation), each Right entitles its holder to
purchase at the current exercise price of $100 that number of common shares of
the surviving corporation which would then have a market value of $200. In lieu
of common shares, Rights holders can purchase 1/150 of a share of Series C
Preferred Stock for each Right. The Series C Preferred Stock would be entitled
to quarterly dividends equal to the greater of $10 per share or 150 times the
common stock dividend per share, and have 150 votes per share, voting together
with the common stock. The Rights have no voting rights and are redeemable, at
the option of the company, at a price of $.033 per Right prior to the
acquisition by a person or a group of affiliated or associated persons of
beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the company's common stock.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION AND PURCHASE PLANS
OPTION PLANS. The Profit Incentive Stock Plan provides for the granting of
stock options to certain non-officer employees to purchase common shares at
prices not less than 85% of the fair market value at the date of grant; all
options granted in 1993, 1992 and 1991 were at fair market value. These options
are for terms not exceeding 10 years and are exercisable cumulatively 25% or
50% each year, based on the terms of the grant.
The 1980 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock
options to key employees at a price equal to the fair market value of shares at
the date of grant. These options are for terms not exceeding 10 years, are
generally exercisable cumulatively 50% each year, and may be granted in tandem
with stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights and perfor-
39
<PAGE> 42
mance units. The plan also provides for restricted stock rights to these
employees at no cost to them; none were granted in 1993, 1992 or 1991.
The following table summarizes the status of the company's stock option
plans:

During December 1993, the number and exercise price of all options
outstanding at the time of the spin off of Aviall were adjusted using a
conversion ratio such that: (1) the aggregate difference between the exercise
price and the market value of the shares which are subject to the options is
unchanged from the same calculation immediately prior to the spin off and (2)
the ratio of the exercise price per option to the market value per share is

PURCHASE PLANS. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides for periodic
offerings to substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees to subscribe shares
of the company's common stock at 85% of the fair market value on either the
date of offering or the last day of the purchase period, whichever is less. The
U.K. Stock Purchase Scheme provides for periodic offerings to substantially all
U.K. employees to subscribe shares of the company's common stock at 85% of the
fair market value on the day prior to the offering.
The following table summarizes the status of the company's stock purchase

PENSION PLANS
The company and its subsidiaries sponsor several pension plans, primarily
defined benefit plans, covering substantially all employees not covered by
union-administered plans, including certain employees in foreign countries.
These plans generally provide participants with benefits based on years of
service and career-average compensation levels. Funding policy for these plans
is to make contributions based on normal costs plus amortization of unfunded
past service liability, but not greater than the maximum allowable contribution
deductible for Federal income tax purposes. The majority of the plans' assets
are invested in a master trust which, in turn, is primarily invested in listed
stocks and bonds. The company also contributed to various defined benefit,
union-administered, multi-employer plans for employees under collective
bargaining agreements. Total pension expense for 1993, 1992 and 1991 was as
follows:

</TABLE>
In connection with the spin off of Aviall, the company agreed to
retain the accumulated benefit obligation and associated assets related to
participants in the company's primary pension plan who are either present or
former employees of Aviall for services rendered through the date of the spin
off. The company will treat all present or former employees of Aviall as
terminated participants of this plan as of the date of the spin off.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The company and its subsidiaries sponsor plans which provide retired employees
with certain health care and life insurance benefits. Substantially all
employees not covered by union-administered retirement plans are eligible for
these benefits. Health care benefits for the company's principal plans are
generally provided to qualified retirees under age 65 and eligible dependents.
Generally, these plans require employee contributions which vary based on years
of service and include provisions which cap company contributions.
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions." The statement requires that the expected costs
of health care and life insurance provided to retired employees be recognized
as expense during the years employees render service. As a result of adopting
this new statement, a pretax charge of $41 million ($25 million after tax, or
$0.33 per common share) was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle to establish a liability for the present value of expected
future benefits attributed to employees' service rendered prior to January 1,
1993. Under the company's previous accounting policy the cost of these benefits
was recognized as expense as claims were incurred. Costs under this method were
$3 million in both 1992 and 1991.
Total periodic postretirement benefit cost for continuing operations in
1993 under the provisions of the new statement included the following
components:

The company's postretirement benefit plans are not funded. The
company's obligation under the plans as of December 31, 1993 for continuing
operations is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Unrecognized net loss (5,509)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

==================================================================
</TABLE>
The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of January 1,
1993 (initial adoption) and December 31, 1993 was determined using a discount
rate of 8.25% and 7.00%, respectively. The annual rate of increase in the per
capita cost of covered health benefits was assumed to be 12.5% for 1994. This
rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 6% through the year 2003 and remain
at that level thereafter. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates
by 1% in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1993 by $2 million and would not have a material
effect on periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993. The cumulative effect
of the change in the discount rate as of December 31, 1993 is included above in
unrecognized net loss. The change in the discount rate will not have a material
effect on periodic postretirement benefit cost in 1994.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The company's operations involve storing and dispensing petroleum products,
primarily diesel fuel. In 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency issued
regulations that established requirements for testing and replacing underground
storage tanks. The company is involved in various stages of investigation,
cleanup and tank replacement in order to comply with the regulations. In
addition, the company received notices from the Environmental Protection Agency
and others that it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP)
under the Comprehensive Environmental
<PAGE> 45
Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act and may be required to share in the cost of cleanup of 29
identified disposal sites.
The company records a liability for environmental assessments and/or
cleanup when it is probable a loss has been incurred. Generally, the timing of
these accruals coincides with the identification of an environmental problem
through the company's internal procedures or upon notification from regulatory
agencies. The company's probable environmental loss is based on information
obtained from independent environmental engineers and/or from company experts
regarding the nature and extent of environmental contamination, remedial
alternatives available, and the cleanup criteria required by relevant
governmental agencies. The estimated costs include anticipated site testing,
consulting, remediation, disposal, and post-remediation monitoring, and legal
fees, as appropriate, based on information available at that time. These
amounts represent the estimated undiscounted costs to fully resolve the
environmental matters in accordance with prevailing Federal, state and local
requirements based on information presently available. At December 31, 1993,
the company had accrued $45 million for environmental liabilities. The company
incurred $24 million of environmental expenses in 1993, compared with $23
million in 1992 and $22 million in 1991.
The ultimate costs of the company's environmental liabilities cannot be
projected with certainty due to the presence of several unknown factors,
primarily the level of contamination, the effectiveness of selected remediation
methods, the stage of investigation at the individual sites, the determination
of the company's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and the
recoverability of such costs from third parties. Based on information presently
available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters,
although potentially material to the results of operations in any one year,
will not have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition or
liquidity.
OTHER MATTERS
The company is a party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising
in the ordinary course of business. While any proceeding or litigation has an
element of uncertainty, management believes that the disposition of these
matters will not have a material impact on the financial condition, liquidity
or results of operations of the company.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The company's operating segments are Vehicle Leasing & Services and Automotive
Carriers. Vehicle Leasing & Services offers a variety of truck-related services
including full service truck leasing, commercial and consumer truck rental,
programmed maintenance service and dedicated logistics. It also operates
student transit services and manages and operates public transit services.
Automotive Carriers is the largest highway transporter of new cars and trucks
in the United States and a major transporter in Canada.
Revenue by segment includes intersegment transactions which are based
on substantially the same terms as transactions with unaffiliated customers.
These amounts are eliminated in consolidation. Revenue of $453 million, $468
million and $494 million was derived from General Motors in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively.
