<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate of Incorporation&#148;) provides that the
Board shall have all powers and authority which may be granted to a board of directors of a corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) to provide indemnification for directors, officers, employees, and/or agents of
the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject however, to the rules against limitation on liability of directors as set forth in Section&nbsp;102 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the requirements of Section&nbsp;102 of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation further provides that no director of the
Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach by a director of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for unlawful payments of dividends, or for unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv)&nbsp;for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company (the
&#147;By-Laws&#148;) provide for a series of indemnification powers and procedures that follow the language of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;VII of the By-Laws provides that the Company shall indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct
was unlawful. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The By-Laws provide that the Company&#146;s obligation to indemnify directors and officers of the Company applies to
actions brought by or in the right of the Company as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself, and with the further limitation that in such actions no
indemnification shall be made (i)&nbsp;unless the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or (ii)&nbsp;in the event such person seeking
indemnity was adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light of all the circumstances indemnification should nonetheless apply. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The By-Laws provide that the Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, provide rights to indemnification and to
the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those rights conferred to directors and officers of the Company under Article VII. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The By-Laws provide that any decision as to indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made: (a) by a majority vote of the directors
who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding (&#147;disinterested directors&#148;), even though less than a quorum; (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of all disinterested directors, even though
less than a quorum; (c) if there are no such disinterested directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) by the stockholders. However, the By-Laws provide that a present or former director or
officer of the Company who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification would be appropriate as described above shall be indemnified without the necessity of authorization in
the specific case. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The By-Laws provide that the Company shall pay expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
such person is not entitled to indemnification. Indemnification pursuant to these provisions is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise and shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company. Under an insurance
policy maintained by the Company, the directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or
proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of being or having been such directors or officers. </P>

person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its

&#147;Company&#148;) hereby amends and restates the AutoNation, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), effective October 25, 2016.&nbsp;This amendment and restatement applies to Deferrals and related earnings credited on and after
January 1, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain key employees (&#147;Employees&#148;) and non-employee Directors
(&#147;Directors&#148;, and together with Employees, &#147;Participants&#148;), by providing each Participant with an opportunity to defer receipt of their cash compensation. The Plan is not intended to meet the qualification requirements of Code
Section 401(a), but is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, and shall be operated and interpreted consistent with that intent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Plan is a continuation of the Plan as previously restated effective as of January 1, 2009, November 16, 2010, November 5, 2012, November 1, 2013 and October 31, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The January 1, 2009 restatement was intended to bring the Plan into compliance with Code Section 409A.&nbsp;The November 16, 2010 restatement allowed
Directors of the Company to defer their Director cash compensation on an elective basis, to be paid upon Separation from Service from the Board of Directors. Other than investment returns on deferrals the restatement provided no additional
compensation to Directors. The Plan was also amended to allow Participants to establish a Secondary Termination Account with an independent Payment Schedule and investment election from the Termination Account. The November 5, 2012 restatement
provided for an additional Secondary Termination Account with independent Payment Schedules and investment allocations, to be paid upon Separation from Service. The October 31, 2014 amendment clarified the application of deferral elections to
commissions and made additional clarifying amendments to plan terms.&nbsp;Under its authority, the Committee may limit the number of Secondary Termination Accounts that may be established and maintained by a Participant at any one time. The October
25, 2016 amendment related to the timing of Death Distributions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to pay benefits in the future.
Participants in the Plan shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. The Company shall be solely responsible for payment of the benefits to Participants and their beneficiaries. The Plan is unfunded for Federal tax purposes
and is intended to be an unfunded arrangement for eligible employees who are part of a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA and Directors. Any amounts set
aside to defray the liabilities assumed by the Company will remain the general assets of the Company and shall remain subject to the claims of the Company&#146;s creditors until such amounts are distributed to the Participants. </P>
