Exhibit 10.1
RETIREMENT AGREEMENT
AND GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS 

This Retirement Agreement and General Release of All Claims (the “Agreement”) is entered into and effective as of March 7, 2017, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, by and between Jonathan P. Ferrando (“Executive”) and AutoNation, Inc. (“AutoNation” or “Company”) relating to Executive’s employment with and retirement from the Company.  When used herein, the term “Company” includes each and every officer, director, employee, agent, parent corporation(s), subsidiary corporation(s), wholly owned companies, affiliate(s) and division(s), their successors, assigns, beneficiaries, servants, legal representatives, insurers and heirs.

		
	1.
	Retirement Date and Terms.  As of March 31, 2017 (“Retirement Date”), Executive’s employment with the Company, service as Executive Vice President - General Counsel, Corporate Development and Human Resources of the Company and in any and all other positions with the Company that Executive holds shall terminate (including, but not limited to, as Corporate Secretary of the Company and as an officer or director of any subsidiary of the Company, and being a member on all committees including the AutoNation Business Ethics and Risk Committees).  On the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the Retirement Date, the Company will pay to Executive: (a) all wages earned through the Retirement Date and (b) any accrued and unused vacation as of the Retirement Date paid in accordance with the applicable Paid Time-Off Policy.  Except as set forth herein, Executive acknowledges that the Company owes no other bonuses, commissions, wages, vacation pay, sick pay, or benefits to Executive as of the Retirement Date.

		
	2.
	Company Consideration.  For and in consideration of the promises made by Executive in this Agreement, subject to Executive re-executing this Agreement no earlier than the Retirement Date and not revoking this Agreement prior to the expiration of the 7-day revocation period provided in this Agreement (the date of such expiration being hereinafter referred to as the (“Re-execution Effective Date”), AutoNation agrees as follows:

		
	(a)
	Retirement Payment.  To pay Executive retirement pay in the total amount of $2,250,000.00, less applicable taxes and other withholdings and authorized or required deductions, which is calculated based on 18 months of Executive’s base salary and target bonus.  The retirement payment will be disbursed in 36 installments of $62,500 (less withholdings and deductions) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule.  The first installment will be disbursed on the Company’s first payroll date following the Re-execution Effective Date.  The remaining installments will be disbursed on a consecutive semi-monthly basis following payment of the first installment.

		
	(b)
	Pro Rata Bonus.  To pay Executive an amount equal to the annual bonus that Executive would have been entitled to receive in respect of the 2017 fiscal year had Executive remained employed through the end of such year, which amount, determined based on the Company’s actual performance for such year relative to the performance goals applicable to Executive, shall be prorated for the portion of 2017 in which Executive was employed by the Company (the “Pro Rata Bonus”) and shall be payable in a lump sum at the same time bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company, but in no event later than March 15, 2018 (less withholdings and deductions).  The parties hereto agree that based on the March 31, 2017 Retirement Date, Executive’s pro-rated target bonus will be $187,500 (25% of the $750,000 2017 annual bonus target for Executive).

		
	(c)
	Health & Welfare.  To continue participation in the Company’s group health and welfare benefit plans (as such plans are in effect at such time, and including an annual Executive Physical) for Executive and his dependents for a period of 12 months following the Retirement Date at the same cost to the Executive as is currently provided with such changes as may be imposed on the other Company officers from time to time (or the Company will procure and pay for comparable benefits during such time period).  At the expiration of such 12-month period, Executive shall have the option to elect health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof.  Executive will be responsible for paying his entire monthly COBRA premiums.  Executive must elect to receive COBRA if he wants continuation coverage under the Company’s group health benefits programs.  Executive’s right to COBRA and the time for electing COBRA and making the required COBRA payments will be explained in a separate COBRA notice package.

		
	(d)
	Outplacement Services.  To provide Executive with the opportunity to utilize twelve (12) months of outplacement services at the Company’s sole expense with an executive outplacement firm to which the parties have mutually agreed.

		
	(e)
	No Entitlement.  AutoNation shall not be obligated to provide any consideration other than the consideration discussed in Paragraphs 2, 4 and 11.  The benefits provided to Executive by AutoNation pursuant to this Paragraph 2 represent benefits that Executive would not be entitled to absent this Agreement (other than COBRA at his own expense).

		
	3.
	Other Benefits.  As of the Retirement Date, other than the benefits set forth in Section 2(c) and 4 of this Agreement, Executive is no longer eligible to participate in any other benefit programs offered by the Company, including, but not limited to, vacation and the 401(k) plan.  If Executive participated in the AutoNation Deferred Compensation Plan, Executive will be entitled to a payout of his account balances in such plan in accordance with his election and the terms of the plan.

		
	4.
	Stock Options.  Subject to Executive re-executing this Agreement no earlier than the Retirement Date and not revoking this Agreement prior to the expiration of the 7-day revocation period provided in this Agreement, all unvested stock options held by Executive as of the date hereof will survive the termination of employment of Executive and will immediately vest in full on the Re-execution Effective Date, and such stock options will survive and be exercisable until the third anniversary of the Retirement Date (or earlier upon the stated expiration date of the stock option (determined as if Executive had continued in employment with the Company)), at which time such stock options, if not exercised, will terminate.  All other unvested equity awards, consisting of the 2017 restricted stock units awarded to Executive, held by Executive as of the Retirement Date will terminate as of the Retirement Date.  All vested stock options held by Executive as of the Retirement Date shall be treated in accordance with the applicable terms of the equity award agreements and plans.  Executive should refer to the applicable equity award agreements and plans for additional information.

		
	5.
	Cooperation.  Executive agrees to make himself available to the Company and its officers, if necessary, for consultation on a reasonable basis from time to time as to any matters on which he worked while an employee of the Company.  The Company acknowledges that Executive may have other full-time employment and the Company agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of time that any such consultation shall require of him.  Executive further agrees not to testify for, appear on behalf of, or otherwise assist in any way any individual, company, or agency in any claim against the Company, unless and only pursuant to a lawful subpoena issued to Executive.  Executive also agrees to promptly notify the Company upon receipt of any notice or contact (including whether written or oral, and including any subpoena or deposition notice) requesting or compelling information or his testimony or requesting documents related to matters which he worked on while an employee of the Company, and Executive agrees to coordinate with the Company in any response thereto. 

		
	6.
	Confidential Information.  Executive agrees that the records, information, files, lists, operations data, and other materials of the Company that Executive created, used, or had access to during his employment with the Company belong exclusively to the Company and are confidential.  Executive further agrees that information about the Company’s customers or other organizations with which it does business is the exclusive property of the Company and is also confidential.  Executive shall not use or disclose any such confidential information, for the benefit of himself or another, and shall treat such information as confidential, unless he has specific prior written authorization from the Company to use or disclose it.

		
	7.
	Compliance with Other Agreements.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that he has complied and shall continue to comply with the terms of all other agreements between Executive and the Company, as modified or amended.

		
	8.
	Return of Company Property. Executive agrees to return all property belonging to the Company in his possession or under his control (including, without limitation, company identification card, executive demonstrator vehicle etc.) no later than the Retirement Date, except for items listed on Exhibit A hereto or as consented to by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Executive also understands and agrees that, effective on the Retirement Date, Executive is no longer authorized to incur any expenses or obligations or liabilities on behalf of the Company.  Within thirty (30) days following the Retirement Date, Executive shall submit to the Company (together with any requisite documentation) reimbursement claims for all reasonable business expenses incurred, but not previously reimbursed, in connection with the performance of his duties through the Retirement Date, which expenses shall be promptly reimburse in accordance with the Company’s policies for expense reimbursement.

		
	9.
	No Right to Give Public Interviews.  For a period of five years following the Retirement Date, without the prior written consent of the Company, Executive shall not (a) give any public interviews or speeches concerning the Company, any matter that he participated in while an employee of the Company, or any past or present employee of the Company, or in relation to any matter concerning the Company occurring after the date of his retirement or (b) directly or indirectly, prepare or assist any person or entity in the preparation of any books, articles, television or motion picture productions, 

or other creations concerning the Company or concerning any person whom any member of the public might associate with the Company.

		
	10.
	Non-Disparagement.  Executive agrees not to undertake any disparaging conduct directed at the Company and to refrain from making any negative or derogatory statements concerning the Company.  Executive waives any privilege or qualified privilege that may apply to any such communication.

		
	11.
	Payment for Extended Restrictive Covenants.  Executive has entered into certain non-compete, non-disparagement, confidentiality and other restrictive covenants agreements with the Company or its affiliates from time to time, including, but not limited to any Restrictive Covenants and Confidentiality Agreement (collectively, the “RC Agreements”).  Executive agrees that, notwithstanding the time periods set forth in the RC Agreements in respect of non-compete and non-solicit periods, he shall abide by such non-compete and non-solicit covenants through the third anniversary of the Retirement Date.  In consideration for such additional covenants and subject to Executive re-executing this Agreement no earlier than the Retirement Date and not revoking this Agreement prior to the expiration of the 7-day revocation period provided in this Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive $1,500,000 over a 3-year period in 72 installments of $20,833.33 in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll schedule (less withholdings and deductions); provided, however, if Executive does not re-execute this Agreement, he remains subject to the original terms and conditions of the RC Agreements.  The first installment will be disbursed on the Company’s first payroll date following the Re-execution Effective Date.  The remaining installments will be disbursed on a consecutive semi-monthly basis following payment of the first installment.  

		
	12.
	Permitted Disclosures.  Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to Executive’s attorney and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive (I) files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and (II) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section.  Further, nothing in any agreement Executive has with the Company shall prohibit or restrict Executive from making any voluntary disclosure of information or documents related to any violation of law to any governmental agency or legislative body, or any self-regulatory organization, in each case, without advance notice to the Company.

		
	13.
	Full General Release of Claims.  Except as provided in this Paragraph 13, Executive, for himself and for his heirs, successors and assigns, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and all of their successors, assigns, officers, directors, and employees, from any and all claims, complaints, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, damages, causes of action, costs, losses, debts and expenses of every kind, in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, from the beginning of time to the date Executive executes or re-executes this Agreement, as applicable, including any and all claims in connection with Executive’s employment with the Company, including without limitation, those claims arising from or relating to Executive’s retirement from the Company.  Except as provided in this Paragraph 13, this general release is a full and final bar to any claims Executive may have against the Company, including, without limitation, any claims arising from or relating to:

		
	(a)
	Executive’s pay, bonuses, vacation, or any other employee benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment or employment practices of the Company;

		
	(b)
	stock options, restricted stock or other equity or equity-based awards, whether pursuant to a stock option plan, agreement or otherwise (except as expressly provided in Paragraph 4 above with respect to unvested stock options, or with respect to outstanding vested equity awards as of the date hereof);

		
	(c)
	any claims for punitive, compensatory, and/or retaliatory discharge damages; back and/or front pay claims and fringe benefits; or payment of any attorneys’ fees for Executive;

		
	(d)
	the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1871, and 1991; Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964; 42 U.S.C. §1981; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act; the Rehabilitation Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Older Worker Benefits Protection Act; the Occupational Safety 

and Health Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act;; Florida’s workers’ compensation law; the Florida Civil Rights Act (as any of these laws may have been amended); or any other federal, state, or local labor, employment, or anti-discrimination laws; and/or

		
	(e)
	to the extent permitted by applicable law, based on any contract, tort, federal, state, or local “whistleblower” or retaliation claims, personal injury, or wrongful discharge theory.

provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 13 shall be deemed to release or impair (i) any rights under the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any vested rights under Company benefit plans and any rights under COBRA, (iii) any rights to outstanding vested equity awards, and unvested equity awards as provided in Paragraph 4 above, under applicable equity plans and equity award agreements, (iv) any and all rights to indemnification, advancement or reimbursement of expenses, and insurance coverage available to Executive as an officer, director or employee of the Company or any Company subsidiary (including the Company’s director and officer insurance coverage), and as a Company in-house attorney, including without limitation under the Company’s or any Company subsidiary’s charter and by-laws and under applicable corporate law (including without limitation to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law), or (v) any rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

		
	14.
	Time to Consider.  Executive has been advised to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.  Executive has twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date that he receives this Agreement to consider and accept this Agreement by signing and returning this Agreement to the Company.

		
	15.
	Revocation Period.  The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive has the right to revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days following the date Executive signs this Agreement (“revocation period”).  If Executive does not advise the Company in writing within the revocation period of his intent to revoke this Agreement, this Agreement will become effective and enforceable upon the expiration of the seven days.

		
	16.
	Re-execution.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive must re-execute this Agreement on or within twenty-one (21) calendar days following the Retirement Date in order to be entitled to the payments and benefits in Paragraphs 2, 4 and 11 of this Agreement (other than COBRA at his own expense).  Executive will again have the right to revoke his re-execution of this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days following the date Executive re-executes this Agreement.  If Executive does not advise the Company in writing within the revocation period of his intent to revoke his re-execution of this Agreement, Executive’s re-execution of this Agreement will become effective and enforceable upon the expiration of the seven days.  If Executive does not re-execute this Agreement on or within twenty-one (21) calendar days following the Retirement Date, or Executive revokes his re-execution, the Company shall have no obligation to provide Executive with the payments and benefits set forth in Paragraphs 2, 4 and 11 above (other than COBRA at his own expense).  Executive’s failure to re-execute this Agreement on or within twenty-one (21) calendar days following the Retirement Date in no way affects Executive’s prior release of claims under this Agreement.

		
	17.
	Voluntary Action.  Executive acknowledges that he has read each paragraph of this Agreement and understands his rights and obligations. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that: (a) this Agreement is written in a manner understandable to him; (b) this Agreement is granted in exchange for consideration which is in addition to anything of value to which Executive is otherwise entitled; (c) he has been given a reasonable opportunity to consider and review this Agreement; (d) he has had an opportunity to consult with an attorney prior to deciding whether to enter into this Agreement; (e) he may challenge the validity of his waiver in this Agreement of his rights under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Older Worker Benefits Protection Act; and (f) his signature on this Agreement is knowing and voluntary.

		
	18.
	Miscellaneous.

		
	(a)
	Entire Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, this Agreement contains the entire agreement between Executive and the Company relating to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, negotiations and representations are replaced by this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or modify the rights of the Company or the obligations of Executive contained in the RC Agreements or any other confidentiality agreement, non-compete agreement and/or restrictive covenants previously signed by Executive, as amended, modified and/or supplemented, as such provisions shall survive the execution of this Agreement and Executive's retirement from the Company.  This Agreement may only be changed by a written amendment signed by Executive and the Chief Executive Officer, the General Counsel, the Vice President of Human Resources, or other duly authorized officer of the Company.

		
	(b)
	No Admission.  The Company and Executive agree that the payments to Executive, and the terms and conditions of said payments by the Company, are not to be construed as an admission of liability by the Company.  Executive specifically agrees that the Company’s payments are not intended to be, and will not be offered in evidence or argued in any proceeding as, an admission of liability.  The Company specifically disclaims any liability to Executive or to any other person or entity.

		
	(c)
	Severability.  The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.  Nor will the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a portion of any provision of this Agreement affect the balance of such provision.  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be reformed, construed, and enforced as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

		
	(d)
	Effect of Waiver.  The failure of the Company at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right to enforce the same.  

		
	(e)
	Binding Nature.  This Agreement will be binding upon the Company and Executive and will inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company.  This Agreement is not assignable by Executive, except in the case of death or permanent and total disability where Executive’s estate or guardian shall be entitled to receive the consideration to be paid under  this Agreement.

		
	(f)
	Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

		
	(g)
	Headings.  The section headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

		
	(h)
	Construction.  The Company and Executive have jointly participated in the negotiation of this Agreement.  In the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if it was drafted jointly by the Company and Executive and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any party by virtue of authorship of this Agreement.

		
	(i)
	Notice.  Any notice, request, statement, information or other document to be given to either party by the other must be in writing and delivered as follows:

	Liability for Breach.  In the event of Executive’s breach of any terms of this Agreement, the Company may pursue any and all remedies allowable under state and/or federal law.  Depending on the interpretation of applicable law, these remedies may include monetary damages, equitable relief, and recoupment of the benefits described in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement.

	(k)
	Section 409A.  The Company and Executive each hereby affirm that it is their mutual view that the provision of payments and benefits described or referenced herein are exempt from or in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations relating thereto (“Section 409A”) and that each party’s tax reporting shall be completed in a manner consistent with such view.  The Company and Executive each agree that upon the Retirement Date, Executive will experience a “separation from service” for purposes of Section 409A.  Any payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A shall be paid under the applicable exception.  For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Retirement Date separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Retirement Date (or death, if earlier).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (x) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (y) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (z) the right to reimbursement or in kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.  Neither the Company nor its affiliates shall be liable in any manner for any federal, state or local income or excise taxes (including without limitation any taxes under Section 409A), or penalties or interest with respect thereto, as a result of the payment of any compensation or benefits hereunder or the inclusion of any such compensation or benefits or the value thereof in Executive’s income.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be responsible for any additional taxes or penalties resulting from the application of Section 409A.

		
	(l)
	Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its choice of law rules.  Any dispute hereunder shall be resolved pursuant to arbitration in accordance with the most recent arbitration agreement in effect between Executive and the Company, except that the Company may pursue equitable relief in a court of law.  Any suit, action, or proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the state courts of Broward County, Florida or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.  The Company and Executive hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding.
