The transaction valuation is estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rules 0-11(a)(4) and 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The value of the transaction was calculated as the product of (i) 31,332,182 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock (the sum of (w) 28,929,182 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock outstanding, (x) 2,190,000 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, (y) 140,000 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock issuable upon conversion of performance share and unit awards and (z) 73,000 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock issuable upon conversion of restricted stock units (as reported in Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc.’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011)), less 472,699 shares of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock owned by The Hertz Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and (ii) the average of the high and low sales prices of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc. common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on May 17, 2011 ($80.25).

The amount of filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00011610. The filing fee has been offset by the amount of the filing fee previously paid by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. as described below.
