Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On June 29, 2011 (the "Effective Date"), Streetcar Limited ("Streetcar"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zipcar, Inc. ("Zipcar") entered into an Agreement in Relation to Operational and Financial Covenants (the "Covenant Amendment") with Barlcays Mercantile Business Finance Limited ("Barclays") related to the Master Agreement for Lease and or Lease Purchase dated as of February 12, 2008 between Streetcar and Barlcays (the "Master Lease"). The Covenant Amendment term begins on the Effective Date and continues through March 31, 2012 (the "Term"). Among other things, the Covenant Amendment supersedes and replaces the existing operational and financial covenants related to the continued availability of financing to Streetcar under the Master Lease. The principal financial covenants under the Covenant Amendment are:

--        Streetcar must maintain a minimum cash level of [GBP] 1,000,000 at the end of any month during the Term;

--        Zipcar must maintain a minimum cash level of US$10,000,000 at all times during the Term; and

--        Streetcar total gross debt must be below certain specified limits at various measurement dates during the Term.

Failure to meet any of the financial covenants contained in the Covenant Amendment shall be an event of default under the Master Lease.

In addition, the Covenant Amendment requires Streetcar to provide specified financial information and compliance certifications to Barclays during the term of the Covenant Amendment.

This summary description of the Covenant Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Covenant Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
