PART I

ITEM 1.                 BUSINESS

Our Company

We own what we believe is the largest worldwide general use car rental brand and one of the largest equipment rental businesses in the United States and Canada combined, both based on revenues. Our Hertz brand name is one of the most recognized in the world, signifying leadership in quality rental services and products. In our car rental business segment, we and our independent licensees and associates accept reservations for car rentals at approximately 7,600 locations in approximately 145 countries. We are the only car rental company that has an extensive network of company-operated rental locations both in the United States and in all major European markets. We maintain the leading airport car rental market share, by overall reported revenues, in the United States and at the 69 major airports in Europe where we have company-operated locations and data regarding car rental concessionaire activity is available. We believe that we also maintain the second largest market share, by revenues, in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. In our equipment rental business segment, we rent equipment through approximately 360 branches in the United States, Canada, France and Spain, as well as through our international licensees. We and our predecessors have been in the car rental business since 1918 and in the equipment rental business since 1965. We have a diversified revenue base and a highly variable cost structure and are able to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant determinant of our costs. This has helped us to earn a pre-tax profit in each year since our incorporation in 1967. Our revenues have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 7.7% over the last 20 years, with year-over-year growth in 18 of those 20 years.

Corporate History

Hertz Holdings was incorporated by the Sponsors in Delaware in 2005 to serve as the top-level holding company for the consolidated Hertz business. Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. Hertz is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the car and truck rental and leasing business since 1918 and the equipment rental business since 1965. Ford acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Prior to this, Hertz was a subsidiary of UAL Corporation (formerly Allegis Corporation), which acquired Hertz’s outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985.

On December 21, 2005, investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors, through an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings acquired all of Hertz’s common stock from a subsidiary of Ford in the Acquisition, for aggregate consideration of $4,379 million in cash and debt refinanced or assumed of $10,116 million and transaction fees and expenses of $447 million. To finance the cash consideration for the Acquisition, to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and to pay related transaction fees and expenses, the Sponsors used:

·       equity contributions totaling $2,295 million from the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors;

·       net proceeds from a private placement by CCMG Acquisition Corporation of $1,800 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014, or the “Senior Dollar Notes,” $600 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016, or the “Senior Subordinated Notes,” and 225 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014, or the “Senior Euro Notes.” In connection with the Transactions, CCMG Acquisition Corporation merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving corporation of the merger. CCMG Acquisition Corporation had no operations prior to the Acquisition. We refer to the Senior Dollar Notes and the Senior Euro Notes together as the “Senior Notes;”

4




·       aggregate borrowings of approximately $1,707 million by us under a new senior term facility, or the “Senior Term Facility,” which consists of (a) a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000 million, which included a delayed draw facility of $293 million and (b) a synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million;

·       aggregate borrowings of approximately $400 million by Hertz and one of its Canadian subsidiaries under a new senior asset-based revolving loan facility, or the “Senior ABL Facility,” with a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,600 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800 million). We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the “Senior Credit Facilities;”

·       aggregate proceeds of offerings totaling approximately $4,300 million by a special purpose entity wholly owned by us of asset-backed securities backed by our U.S. car rental fleet, or the “U.S. Fleet Debt,” all of which we issued under our existing asset-backed notes program, or the “ABS Program”; under which an additional $600 million of previously issued asset-backed medium term notes having maturities from 2007 to 2009 remain outstanding following the closing of the Transactions, and in connection with which approximately $1,500 million of variable funding notes in two series were also issued, but not funded, on the closing date of the Acquisition;

·       aggregate borrowings of the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,781 million by certain of our foreign subsidiaries under asset-based revolving loan facilities with aggregate commitments equivalent to approximately $2,930 million (calculated in each case at December 31, 2005), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles, rental equipment, and related assets of certain of our foreign subsidiaries, (substantially all of which are organized outside of the United States) or one or more special purpose entities, as the case may be, and, rental equipment and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more special purpose entities, as the case may be, which facilities (together with certain capital lease obligations) are referred to collectively as the “International Fleet Debt;” and

·       our cash on hand in an aggregate amount of approximately $6.1 million.

In connection with the Transactions, we also refinanced a significant portion of our existing indebtedness, which was repaid as follows:

·       the repurchase of approximately $3,700 million in aggregate principal amount of existing senior notes having maturities from May 2006 to January 2028, of which additional notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $803.3 million remained outstanding following the Transactions;

·       the repurchase of approximately 192.4 million (or approximately $230.0 million, calculated as of December 31, 2005) in aggregate principal amount of existing Euro-denominated medium term notes with a maturity of July 2007, of which additional medium term notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately 7.6 million remained outstanding following the Transactions;

·       the repayment of a $1,185 million intercompany note issued by Hertz to Ford Holdings on June 10, 2005 that would have matured in June 2010;

·       the repayment of approximately $1,935 million under an interim credit facility that would have matured on February 28, 2006;

·       the repayment of commercial paper, notes payable and other bank debt of approximately $1,212 million; and

5




·       the settlement of all accrued interest and unamortized debt discounts relating to the above existing indebtedness.

Our Markets

We operate in the global car rental industry and in the equipment rental industry, primarily in the United States.

Worldwide Car Rental

We believe that the global car rental industry exceeds $30 billion in annual revenues. According to a 2007 report appearing in Auto Rental News, car rental revenues in the United States totaled approximately $20 billion in 2006 and have grown at a 5.0% compound annual growth rate since 1990, including 6.2% growth in 2006. We believe car rental revenues in Western Europe account for over $12.5 billion in annual revenues, with the airport portion of the industry comprising approximately 40% of the total. Within Europe, the largest markets are Germany, the United Kingdom and France. We believe total rental revenues for the car rental industry in Europe in 2005 were approximately $10.5 billion in the nine countries—France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg—where we have company-operated rental locations and over $2 billion in eight other countries—Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria and Finland—where our brand is present through our licensees.

We estimate that airport rentals account for approximately one-half of the total market in the United States. This portion of the market is significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry and particularly in airline passenger traffic, or enplanements. According to the FAA, enplanements in the United States only completed their recovery and surpassed their pre-2001 levels in 2005. The FAA projected in the first half of 2006 that domestic enplanements will grow at a compound annual rate of 3.2% from 2006 to 2017, consistent with long-term historical trends. The IATA projected in September 2006 that annual international enplanements would grow at a compound annual rate of 4.8% from 2006 to 2010.

The off-airport part of the industry has rental volume primarily driven by local business use, leisure travel and the replacement of cars being repaired. Because Europe has generally demonstrated a lower historical reliance on air travel, the European off-airport car rental market is significantly more developed than it is in the United States. However, we believe that in recent years, industry revenues from off-airport car rentals in the United States have grown faster than revenues from airport rentals.

Equipment Rental

We estimate the size of the U.S. equipment rental industry, which is highly fragmented with few national competitors and many regional and local operators, to be approximately $35 billion in annual revenues, but the part of the rental industry dealing with equipment of the type HERC rents is somewhat smaller than that. We believe that the industry grew at a 9.7% compound annual growth rate between 1991 and 2005. Other market data indicates that the equipment rental industries in France and Spain generate roughly $4 billion and $2 billion in annual revenues, respectively, although the portions of those markets in which HERC competes are smaller.

The equipment rental industry serves a broad range of customers from small local contractors to large industrial national accounts and encompasses a wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy earthmoving equipment. The industry is undergoing a strong recovery following the industrial recession and downturn in non-residential construction spending between 2001 and 2003. We believe U.S. non-residential construction spending grew at an annual rate of 14% in 2006 and is projected to grow at an annual rate of 4% in 2007. We also believe, based on an article in Rental Equipment

6




Register published on February 1, 2006, that rental equipment accounted for approximately 30% to 40% of all equipment sold into the U.S. construction industry in 2005, up from approximately 5% to 10% in 1991. In addition, we believe that the trend toward rental instead of ownership of equipment in the U.S. construction industry will continue and that as much as 50% of the equipment used in the industry could be rental equipment within the next ten years.

Our Business Segments

Our business consists of two segments, car rental and equipment rental. In addition, “corporate and other” includes general corporate expenses, as well as other business activities, such as third-party claim management services.

Car Rental:  Our “company-operated” rental locations are those through which we, or an agent of ours, rent cars that we own or lease. We maintain a substantial network of company-operated car rental locations both in the United States and internationally, and what we believe to be the largest number of company-operated airport car rental locations in the world, enabling us to provide consistent quality and service worldwide. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we derived approximately 72% of our worldwide car rental revenues from airport locations. Our licensees and associates also operate rental locations in over 140 countries and jurisdictions, including most of the countries in which we have company-operated rental locations.

Equipment Rental:  On the basis of revenues, we believe HERC is the second largest equipment rental company in the United States and Canada combined and one of the largest equipment rental companies in France and Spain. HERC rents a broad range of earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, generators, pumps, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks. HERC also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables.

Worldwide Car Rental

Operations

We rent a wide variety of makes and models of cars, nearly all of which are the current or previous year’s models. We generally accept reservations only for a class of vehicles, although we accept

8




reservations for specific makes and models of vehicles in our Prestige Collection luxury rental program, our Fun Collection experiential rental program, our Green Collection environmentally friendly rental program and a limited number of models in high-volume, leisure-oriented destinations. We rent cars on a daily, weekend, weekly, monthly or multi-month basis, with rental charges computed on a limited or unlimited mileage rate, or on a time rate plus a mileage charge. Our rates vary at different locations depending on local market conditions and other competitive and cost factors. While cars are usually returned to the locations from which they are rented, we also allow one-way rentals from and to certain locations. In addition to car rentals and licensee fees, we generate revenues from reimbursements by customers of airport concession fees and vehicle licensing costs, fueling charges, and charges for ancillary customer products and services such as supplemental equipment (child seats and ski racks), loss or collision damage waiver, theft protection, liability and personal accident/effects insurance coverage, Hertz NeverLost navigation systems and satellite radio services.

We have company-operated rental locations both in the United States and internationally. The international car rental operations that generated the highest volumes of business from our company-operated locations for the year ended December 31, 2006 were, in descending order of revenues, those conducted in France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia and Canada. We also have company-operated rental locations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Brazil and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 1,700 staffed rental locations in the United States, of which approximately one-third were airport locations and two-thirds were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from over 950 other locations that are not staffed. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 1,100 staffed rental locations internationally, of which approximately one-fifth were airport locations and four-fifths were off-airport locations, and we regularly rent cars from approximately 80 other locations that are not staffed. We believe that our extensive U.S. and international network of company-operated locations contributes to the consistency of our service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and ability to offer one-way rentals.

In order to operate airport rental locations, we have obtained concessions or similar leasing, licensing or permitting agreements or arrangements, or “concessions,” granting us the right to conduct a car rental business at all major, and many other, airports with regularly scheduled passenger service in each country where we have company-operated rental locations, except for airports where our licensees operate rental locations and Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida. Our concessions were obtained from the airports’ operators, which are typically governmental bodies or authorities, following either negotiation or bidding for the right to operate a car rental business there. The terms of an airport concession typically require us to pay the airport’s operator concession fees based upon a specified percentage of the revenues we generate at the airport, subject to a minimum annual guarantee. Under most concessions, we must also pay fixed rent for terminal counters or other leased properties and facilities. Most concessions are for a fixed length of time, while others create operating rights and payment obligations that are terminable at any time.

The terms of our concessions typically do not forbid, and in a few instances actually require, us to seek reimbursement from customers of concession fees we pay; however, in certain jurisdictions the law limits or forbids our doing so. Where we are required or permitted to seek such reimbursement, it is our general practice to do so. The number of car rental concessions available at airports varies considerably, but, except at small, regional airports, it is rarely less than four. At Orlando International Airport, where we do not have a car rental concession, we operate an airport rental location at a facility located near the airport’s premises and pick up and drop off our customers at the airport under a permit from the airport’s operator. Certain of our concession agreements require the consent of the airport’s operator in connection with changes in ownership of us. We sought those consents that were required in connection with our initial public offering of our common stock, except where not obtaining

9




them would not, in our view, have had a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We face risks related to changes in our ownership.”

The Hertz brand is one of the most recognized brands in the world. It has been listed in Business Week’s “100 Most Valuable Global Brands” in 2005 and in every year that it was eligible for inclusion in the study since the study’s inception in 2001. We understand that this study is limited to companies with public equity and their subsidiaries, and as a result, Hertz was not eligible for inclusion in 2006. The Hertz brand has been the only travel company brand to appear in the study. Moreover, our customer surveys indicate that in the United States, Hertz is the car rental brand most associated with the highest quality service. This is consistent with numerous published best-in class car rental awards that we have won, both in the United States and internationally, over many years. We have sought to support our reputation for quality and customer service in car rental through a variety of innovative service offerings, such as our customer loyalty program (Hertz #1 Club), our global expedited rental program (Hertz #1 Club Gold), our one-way rental program (Rent-it-Here/Leave-it-There), our national-scale luxury rental program (Prestige Collection), our national-scale experiential rental program (Hertz Fun Collection), our environmentally friendly rental program (Green Collection) and our in-car navigational services (Hertz NeverLost). We intend to maintain our position as a premier company through an intense focus on service, quality and product innovation.

In the United States, the Hertz brand had the highest market share, by revenues, in 2005 and in the first ten months of 2006 at the 180 largest airports where we operated. Out of the approximately 150 major European airports at which we have company-operated rental locations, data regarding car rental concessionaire activity for the year ended December 31, 2005 was available at 69 of these airports. Based upon this data, we believe that we were the largest airport car rental company, measured by aggregate airport rental revenues during that period, at those 69 airports taken together. In the United States, we intend to maintain or expand our market share in the airport rental business. For a further description of our competitors, market share and competitive position see “—Competition” below.

At our major airport rental locations, as well as at some smaller airport and off-airport locations, customers participating in our Hertz #1 Club Gold program are able to rent vehicles in an expedited manner. In the United States, participants in Hertz #1 Club Gold often bypass the rental counter entirely and proceed directly to their vehicles upon arrival at our facility. For the year ended December 31, 2006, rentals by Hertz #1 Club Gold members accounted for approximately 41% of our worldwide rental transactions. We believe the Hertz #1 Club Gold program provides a significant competitive advantage to us, particularly among frequent travelers, and we have, through travel industry relationships, targeted such travelers for participation in the program.

In addition to our airport locations, we operate off-airport locations offering car rental services to a variety of customers. Our off-airport rental customers include people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. Our off-airport customers also include people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies following accidents in which their cars were damaged, those expecting to lease cars that are not yet available from their leasing companies and those needing cars while theirs are being repaired or are temporarily unavailable for other reasons; we call these customers “replacement renters.” At many of our off-airport locations we will provide pick-up and delivery services in connection with rentals.

10




When compared to our airport rental locations, an off-airport rental location typically services more types of customers, uses smaller rental facilities with fewer employees, conducts pick-up and delivery services and deals with replacement renters using specialized systems and processes. In addition, on average, off-airport locations generate fewer transactions per period than airport locations. At the same time, though, our airport and off-airport rental locations employ common car fleets, are supervised by common country, regional and local area management, use many common systems and rely on common maintenance and administrative centers. Moreover, airport and off-airport locations, outside the area of replacement rentals, are supported by a common commercial sales force, benefit from many common marketing activities and have many of the same customers. As a consequence, we regard both types of locations as aspects of a single, unitary, car rental business.

We believe that the off-airport portion of the car rental market offers opportunities for us on several levels. First, presence in the off-airport market can provide customers a more convenient and geographically extensive network of rental locations, thereby creating revenue opportunities from replacement renters, non-airline travel renters and airline travelers with local rental needs. Second, it can give us a more balanced revenue mix by reducing our reliance on airport travel and therefore limiting our risk exposure to external events that may disrupt airline travel trends. Third, it can produce higher fleet utilization as a result of the longer average rental periods associated with off-airport business, compared to those of airport rentals. Fourth, replacement rental volume is far less seasonal than that of other business and leisure rentals, which permits efficiencies in both fleet and labor planning. Finally, cross-selling opportunities exist for us to promote off-airport rentals among frequent airport Hertz #1 Club renters and, conversely, to promote airport rentals to off-airport renters. In view of those benefits, along with our belief that our market share for off-airport rentals is generally smaller than our market share for airport rentals, we intend to seek profitable growth in the off-airport rental market, both in the United States and internationally.

In the three years ended December 31, 2006, we increased the number of our off-airport rental locations in the United States by approximately 32% to approximately 1,380 locations. In 2007 and subsequent years, our strategy may include selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and pursuit of same-store sales growth. We anticipate that same-store sales growth would be driven by our traditional leisure and business traveler customers and by increasing penetration of the insurance replacement market, of which we currently have a low market share. In the United States during the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately one-third of our rental revenues at off-airport locations were related to replacement rentals. We believe that if we successfully pursue our strategy of profitable off-airport growth, the proportion of replacement rental revenues will increase. As we move forward, our determination of whether to expand our U.S. off-airport network will be based upon a combination of factors, including the concentration of target insurance company policy holders, car dealerships, auto body shops and other clusters of retail, commercial activity and potential profitability. We also intend to increase the number of our staffed off-airport rental locations internationally on the basis of similar criteria.

In addition to renting cars, in Germany we also rent trucks of eight tons and over, including truck tractors. This truck rental fleet consists of approximately 3,400 vehicles, which have either been acquired under repurchase programs similar to those under which we purchase program cars or are under operating leases. We believe we are a market leader in heavy truck rental in Germany. Also, we are engaged in a car leasing business in Brazil. Our truck rental activities in Germany and our car leasing activities in Brazil are treated as part of our international car rental business in our consolidated financial statements.

Our worldwide car rental operations generated $6,378.0 million in revenues and $373.5 million in income before income taxes and minority interest during the year ended December 31, 2006.

11




We may also, from time to time, pursue profitable growth within our car rental business by pursuing opportunistic acquisitions that would expand our global car rental business.

Customers and Business Mix

We categorize our car rental business based on two primary criteria—the purpose for which customers rent from us (business or leisure) and the type of location from which they rent (airport or off-airport). The table below sets forth, for the year ended December 31, 2006, the percentages of rental revenues and rental transactions in our U.S. and international operations derived from business and leisure rentals and from airport and off-airport rentals.

Customers who rent from us for “business” purposes include those who require cars in connection with commercial activities, the activities of governments and other organizations or for temporary vehicle replacement purposes. Most business customers rent cars from us on terms that we have negotiated with their employers or other entities with which they are associated, and those terms can differ substantially from the terms on which we rent cars to the general public. We have negotiated arrangements relating to car rental with many large businesses, governments and other organizations, including most Fortune 500 companies.

Customers who rent from us for “leisure” purposes include not only individual travelers booking vacation travel rentals with us but also people renting to meet other personal needs. Leisure rentals, taken as a whole, are longer in duration and generate more revenue per transaction than do business rentals, although some types of business rentals, such as rentals to replace temporarily unavailable cars, have a long average duration. Business rentals and leisure rentals have different characteristics and place different types of demands on our operations. We believe that maintaining an appropriate balance between business and leisure rentals is important to the profitability of our business and the consistency of our operations.

Our business and leisure customers rent from both our airport and off-airport locations. Demand for airport rentals is correlated with airline travel patterns, and transaction volumes generally follow enplanement trends on a global basis. Customers often make reservations for airport rentals when they book their flight plans, which makes our strong relationships with travel agents, associations and other partners (e.g., airlines) a key competitive advantage in generating consistent and recurring revenue streams.

Off-airport rentals typically involve people wishing to rent cars closer to home for business or leisure purposes, as well as those needing to travel to or from airports. This category also includes people who have been referred by, or whose rental costs are being wholly or partially reimbursed by, insurance companies because their cars have been damaged. In order to attract these renters, we

12




must establish agreements with the referring insurers establishing the relevant rental terms, including the arrangements made for billing and payment. While we estimate our share of the insurance replacement rental market was approximately 7% of the estimated rental revenue volume for the year ended December 31, 2006, we have identified approximately 160 insurance companies, ranging from local or regional carriers to large, national companies, as our target insurance replacement market. Although Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company, or “Enterprise” currently has the largest share of the insurance replacement market, we believe that many of these companies are receptive to our replacement rental offerings and prefer to have at least two national rental car suppliers. Enterprise has asserted that certain systems we use to conduct insurance replacement rentals would infringe on patent rights it expects to obtain. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations.”

We conduct active sales and marketing programs to attract and retain customers. Our commercial and travel industry sales force calls on companies and other organizations whose employees and associates need to rent cars for business purposes, as well as on membership associations, tour operators, travel companies and other groups whose members, participants and customers rent cars for either business or leisure purposes. A specialized sales force calls on companies with replacement rental needs, including insurance and leasing companies and car dealers. We also advertise our car rental offerings through a variety of traditional media, such as television and newspapers, direct mail and the Internet. In addition to advertising, we also conduct a variety of other forms of marketing and promotion, including travel industry business partnerships and press and public relations activities.

In almost all cases, when we rent a car, we rent it directly to an individual who is identified in a written rental agreement that we prepare. Except when we are accommodating someone who cannot drive, the individual to whom we rent a car is required to have a valid driver’s license and meet other rental criteria (including minimum age and creditworthiness requirements) that vary on the basis of location and type of rental. Our rental agreements permit only the individual renting the car, people signing additional authorized operator forms and certain defined categories of other individuals (such as fellow employees, parking attendants and in some cases spouses or domestic partners) to operate the car.

With rare exceptions, individuals renting cars from us are personally obligated to pay all amounts due under their rental agreements. They typically pay us with a charge, credit or debit card issued by a third party, although certain customers use a Hertz charge account that we have established for them, usually as part of an agreement between us and their employer. For the year ended December 31, 2006, all amounts charged to Hertz charge accounts established in the United States, and approximately 99% of amounts charged to Hertz charge accounts established by our international subsidiaries, are billed directly to a company or other organization or are guaranteed by a company. The remainder of the amounts charged to Hertz charge accounts established by our international subsidiaries are billed to individual account holders whose obligations are not guaranteed by the holder’s employer or any other organization associated with the account holder. We also issue rental vouchers and certificates that may be used to pay rental charges, mostly for prepaid and tour-related rentals. In addition, where the law requires us to do so, we rent cars on a cash basis.

In the United States for the year ended December 31, 2006, 86% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 8% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts, 4% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 2% came from cash transactions. In our international operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, 53% of our car rental revenues came from customers who paid us with third-party charge, credit or debit cards, while 27% came from customers using Hertz charge accounts, 18% came from customers using rental vouchers or another method of payment and 2% came from cash

13




transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had bad debt expense ratios of 0.2% of car rental revenues for our U.S. operations and 0.4% of car rental revenues for our international operations.

Reservations

When customers reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees, they may seek to do so through travel agents or third-party travel websites. In many of those cases, the travel agent or website will utilize a third-party operated computerized reservation system, also known as a global distribution system, or “GDS,” to contact us and make the reservation. There are currently four principal GDSs, and we have contracts with all of them providing that we will process reservation requests made through the GDSs. Historically, GDSs were owned and operated by airlines and were subject to extensive regulation along with their airline owners. In recent years, however, airlines have greatly reduced their ownership interests in GDSs and the level of regulation to which GDSs are subject has substantially decreased. The owner of one of the four GDSs, Galileo, has recently entered into an agreement to acquire another GDS, Worldspan, which would result in further concentration in that industry.

In major countries, including the United States and all other countries with company-operated locations, customers may also reserve cars for rental from us and our licensees worldwide through local, national or toll-free telephone calls to our reservations centers, directly through our rental locations or, in the case of replacement rentals, through proprietary automated systems serving the insurance industry. Additionally, we accept reservations for rentals from us and our licensees worldwide through our websites. Our websites, which also allow customers to enroll in loyalty programs, obtain copies of bills for past transactions and obtain information about our rental offerings, have grown significantly in importance as a reservations channel in recent years. Third-party travel websites have also grown in importance to us as a reservations channel.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 34% of the worldwide reservations we accepted came through travel agents using GDSs, while 30% came through phone calls to our reservations centers, 25% through our websites, 7% through third-party websites and 4% through local booking sources.

Fleet

We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new cars in the world. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we also purchased approximately 7,200 used cars that were similar to other cars in our rental fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we operated a peak rental fleet in the United States of approximately 310,000 cars and a combined peak rental fleet in our international operations of approximately 168,000 cars, in each case exclusive of our licensees’ fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2006, our approximate average holding period for a rental car was ten months in the United States and nine months in our international operations.

Over the five years ended December 31, 2006, we have acquired, subject to availability, over 70% of our cars pursuant to various fleet repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs established by automobile manufacturers. Under these programs, the manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during established repurchase or auction periods, subject to, among other things, certain car condition, mileage and holding period requirements. Repurchase prices under repurchase programs are based on either a predetermined percentage of original car cost and the month in which the car is returned or the original capitalized cost less a set daily depreciation amount. Guaranteed depreciation programs guarantee on an aggregate basis the residual value of the cars covered by the programs upon sale according to certain parameters which include the holding period, mileage and condition of the cars. These

14




repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit our residual risk with respect to cars purchased under the programs and allow us to determine depreciation expense in advance. For this reason, cars purchased by car rental companies under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are sometimes referred to by industry participants as “program” cars. Conversely, those cars not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs for which the car rental company is exposed to residual risk are sometimes referred to as “risk” cars. For the year ended December 31, 2006, program cars as a percentage of all cars purchased by our U.S. operations were 61% and as a percentage of all cars purchased by our international operations were approximately 71%, or 64% when calculated on an aggregate worldwide basis.

We expect the percentage of our car rental fleet subject to repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs to decrease substantially due primarily to changes in the terms offered by automobile manufacturers under repurchase programs. Accordingly, we expect to bear increased risk relating to the residual market value and the related depreciation on our car rental fleet and to use different rotational techniques to accommodate our seasonal peak demand for cars.

Over the five years ended December 31, 2006, approximately 47% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 32% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 40% of the cars acquired by us domestically were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries and approximately 30% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries, which represented the largest percentage of any automobile manufacturer during that period. The percentage of the fleet which we purchase from Ford may decline as a result of recent changes to the vehicle supply arrangements between Ford and us. See “—Relationship with Ford” and Note 14 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Historically, we have also purchased a significant percentage of our car rental fleet from General Motors Corporation, or “General Motors.” Over the five years ended December 31, 2006, approximately 19% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 17% of the cars acquired by our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 13% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors.

Purchases of cars are financed through funds provided from operations and by active and ongoing global borrowing programs. See “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We maintain automobile maintenance centers at certain airports and in certain urban and off-airport areas, providing maintenance facilities for our car rental fleet. Many of these facilities, which include sophisticated car diagnostic and repair equipment, are accepted by automobile manufacturers as eligible to perform and receive reimbursement for warranty work. Collision damage and major repairs are generally performed by independent contractors.

We dispose of risk cars, as well as program cars that have for any reason become ineligible for manufacturer repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs, through a variety of disposition channels, including auctions, brokered sales, sales to wholesalers and, to a lesser extent and primarily in the United States, sales at retail through a network of seven company-operated car sales locations dedicated exclusively to the sale of used cars from our rental fleet. During the year ended December 31, 2006, of the cars that were not repurchased by manufacturers, we sold approximately 85% at auction or on a wholesale basis, while 8% were sold at retail and 7% through other channels. We closed 24 retail car sales locations in the United States in the year ended December 31, 2006. These closures did not have a significant impact on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006.

15




Licensees

We believe that our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations contributes to the consistency of our high-quality service, cost control, fleet utilization, yield management, competitive pricing and our ability to offer one-way rentals. However, in certain predominantly smaller U.S. and international markets, we have found it more efficient to utilize independent licensees, which rent cars that they own. Our licensees operate locations in over 140 countries, including most of the countries where we have company-operated locations. As of December 31, 2006, we owned 96% of all the cars in the combined company-owned and licensee-owned fleets in the United States.

We believe that our licensee arrangements are important to our business because they enable us to offer expanded national and international service and a broader one-way rental program. Licenses are issued principally by our wholly owned subsidiaries, Hertz System, Inc., or “System,” and Hertz International, Ltd., or “HIL,” under franchise arrangements to independent licensees and affiliates who are engaged in the car rental business in the United States and in many foreign countries.

Licensees generally pay fees based on a percentage of their revenues or the number of cars they operate. The operations of all licensees, including the purchase and ownership of vehicles, are financed independently by the licensees, and we do not have any investment interest in the licensees or their fleets. System licensees share in the cost of our U.S. advertising program, reservations system, sales force and certain other services. Our European and other international licensees also share in the cost of our reservations system, sales force and certain other services. In return, licensees are provided the use of the Hertz brand name, management and administrative assistance and training, reservations through our reservations channels, the Hertz #1 Club and #1 Club Gold programs, our one-way rental program and other services. In addition to car rental, certain licensees outside the United States engage in car leasing, chauffeur-driven rentals and renting camper vans under the Hertz name.

System licensees ordinarily are limited as to transferability without our consent and are terminable by us only for cause or after a fixed term. Licensees in the United States may generally terminate for any reason on 90 days’ notice. In Europe and certain other international jurisdictions, licensees typically do not have early termination rights. Initial license fees or the price for the sale to a licensee of a company-owned location may be payable over a term of several years. We continue to issue new licenses and, from time to time, purchase licensee businesses.

Competition

In the United States, our principal car rental industry competitors are Avis Budget Group, Inc., or “ABG,” which currently operates the Avis and Budget brands, Vanguard Car Rental USA Group, or “Vanguard,” which operates the National Car Rental and Alamo brands, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, Inc., or “DTG,” which operates the Dollar and Thrifty brands, and Enterprise, which operates the Enterprise brand.

The following table lists our estimated market share, and the estimated market shares of our principal competitors and their licensees, at the 180 largest U.S. airports at which we have company-operated locations, determined on the basis of revenues reported to the airports’ operators on which concession or off-airport permit fees are determined for the indicated periods. Complete market share data is not available for any date later than for the ten months ended October 31, 2006.

(1)            ABG acquired all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. on March 1, 2001 and acquired substantially all of the domestic assets of the vehicle rental business of Budget Group, Inc. on November 22, 2002.

(2)            National and Alamo have been owned by Vanguard since October 2003.

The U.S. off-airport rental market has historically been dominated by Enterprise. We now have a significant presence in the off-airport market, and ABG’s brands also are present. Many smaller companies also operate in the airport and off-airport rental markets.

In Europe, in addition to us, the principal pan-European participants in the car rental industry are Avis Europe plc (which is not an affiliate of ABG but is operating under a license from ABG), which operates the Avis and Budget brands, and Europcar, which was acquired from Volkswagen AG by Eurazeo in 2006. In certain European countries, there are also other companies and brands with substantial market shares, including Sixt AG (operating the Sixt brand), Vanguard (operating both the National Car Rental and Alamo brands) in the United Kingdom and Germany, and through franchises in Spain, Italy and France, and Enterprise (operating the Enterprise brand) in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. Europcar has acquired Vanguard’s European business and has entered into an agreement relating to a trans-Atlantic alliance with Vanguard. In every European country, there are also national, regional or other, smaller companies operating in the airport and off-airport rentals markets. Apart from Enterprise-branded operations, all of which Enterprise owns, the other major car rental brands are present in European car rental markets through a combination of company-operated and franchisee- or licensee-operated locations.

17




Competition among car rental industry participants is intense and frequently takes the form of price competition. For the year ended December 31, 2006, based on publicly available information, we believe some U.S. car rental companies experienced transaction day growth and pricing increases compared to comparable prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced a less than one percentage point volume decline versus the prior period in the United States, while pricing was up over three percentage points. The volume decline was the result of a reduction in fleet volume given significant fleet cost increases, higher leisure pricing for the period from March through May 2006 and the difficult comparison in the quarter ending December 31, 2006 due to the extraordinarily high volumes of post-hurricane rentals in the Gulf Coast and Florida areas in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced low to mid single digit transaction day growth in our European operations and our car rental pricing was above the level of our pricing during the year ended December 31, 2005.

Our competitors, some of which may have access to substantial capital or which may benefit from lower operating costs, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that we match downward competitor pricing without reducing our operating costs, it could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that we are not willing to match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, it could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations, as we may lose market share. As a result of increased use of the Internet as a travel distribution channel, pricing transparency has increased. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing, or an inability to increase prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.” We believe, however, that the prominence and service reputation of the Hertz brand and our extensive worldwide ownership of car rental operations provide us with a competitive advantage.

Equipment Rental

Operations

We, through HERC, operate an equipment rental business in the United States, Canada, France and Spain. On the basis of revenues, we believe HERC is the second largest equipment rental company in the United States and Canada combined and one of the largest general equipment rental companies in France and Spain. HERC has operated in the United States since 1965.

HERC’s principal business is the rental of equipment. HERC offers a broad range of equipment for rental; major categories include earthmoving equipment, material handling equipment, aerial and electrical equipment, air compressors, pumps, generators, small tools, compaction equipment and construction-related trucks.

HERC’s comprehensive line of equipment enables it to supply equipment to a wide variety of customers from local contractors to large industrial plants. The fact that many larger companies, particularly those with industrial plant operations, now require single source vendors, not only for equipment rental, but also for management of their total equipment needs fits well with HERC’s core competencies. Arrangements with such companies may include maintenance of the tools and equipment they own, supplies and rental tools for their labor force and custom management reports. HERC supports this through its dedicated in-plant operations, tool trailers and plant management systems.

As of December 31, 2006, HERC operated 362 equipment rental branches, of which 242 were in 40 states within the United States, 33 were in Canada, 79 were in France and 8 were in Spain. HERC generated same-store, year-over-year revenue growth for each of the last thirteen quarters. HERC’s rental locations generally are situated in industrial or commercial zones. A growing number of locations have highway or major thoroughfare visibility. The typical location is approximately three acres in size, though smaller in Europe, and includes a customer service center, an equipment service

18




area and storage facilities for equipment. The branches are built or conform to the specifications of the HERC prototype branch, which stresses efficiency, safety and environmental compliance. Most branches have stand-alone maintenance and fueling facilities and showrooms.

HERC slightly contracted its network of equipment rental locations during the 2001 to 2003 downturn in construction activities. HERC added five new locations in the United States during 2004 and six during 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, HERC added ten U.S. locations and two new Canadian locations. We expect HERC to add approximately 15 to 20 additional locations in the United States and approximately three additional locations in Canada in 2007. In connection with its U.S. expansion, we expect HERC will incur non-fleet start-up costs of approximately $0.6 million per location and additional fleet acquisition costs over an initial twelve-month period of approximately $5.4 million per location.

Starting in 2004, HERC began to broaden its equipment line in the United States and Canada to include more equipment with an acquisition cost of under $10,000 per unit, ranging from air compressors and generators to small tools and accessories, in order to supply customers who are local contractors with a greater proportion of their overall equipment rental needs. As of December 31, 2006, these activities, referred to as “general rental activities,” were conducted at approximately 42% of HERC’s U.S. and Canadian rental locations. Before it begins to conduct general rental activities at a location, HERC typically renovates the location to make it more appealing to walk-in customers and adds staff and equipment in anticipation of subsequent demand.

HERC’s operations generated $1,672.6 million in revenues and $269.5 million in income before income taxes and minority interest during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Customers

HERC’s customers consist predominantly of commercial accounts and represent a wide variety of industries, such as construction, petrochemical, automobile manufacturing, railroad, power generation and shipbuilding. Serving a number of different industries enables HERC to reduce its dependence on a single or limited number of customers in the same business and somewhat reduces the seasonality of HERC’s revenues and its dependence on construction cycles. HERC primarily targets customers in medium to large metropolitan markets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, no customer of HERC accounted for more than 1.0% of HERC’s rental revenues. Of HERC’s combined U.S. and Canadian rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, roughly half were derived from customers operating in the construction industry (the majority of which was in the nonresidential sector), while the remaining revenues were derived from rentals to industrial, governmental and other types of customers.

Unlike in our car rental business, where we enter into rental agreements with the people who will operate the cars being rented, HERC ordinarily enters into a rental agreement with the legal entity—typically a company, governmental body or other organization—seeking to rent HERC’s equipment. Moreover, unlike in our car rental business, where our cars are normally picked up and dropped off by customers at our rental locations, HERC delivers much of its rental equipment to its customers’ job sites and retrieves the equipment from the job sites when the rentals conclude. Finally, unlike in our car rental business, HERC extends credit terms to many of its customers to pay for rentals. Thus, for the year ended December 31, 2006, 95% of HERC’s revenues came from customers who were invoiced by HERC for rental charges, while 4% came from customers paying with third-party charge, credit or debit cards and 1% came from customers who paid with cash or used another method of payment. For the year ended December 31, 2006, HERC had a bad debt expense ratio of 0.3% of its revenues.

19




Fleet

HERC acquires its equipment from a variety of manufacturers. The equipment is typically new at the time of acquisition and is not subject to any repurchase program. The per-unit acquisition cost of units of rental equipment in HERC’s fleet vary from over $200,000 to under $100. As of December 31, 2006, the average per-unit acquisition cost (excluding small equipment purchased for less than $5,000 per unit) for HERC’s fleet in the United States was approximately $35,000. As of December 31, 2006, the average age of HERC’s rental fleet in the United States was 26 months. We believe that this fleet is one of the youngest fleets in the industry. Having a younger fleet reduces maintenance expenses, which generally escalate as equipment ages. As of December 31, 2006, the average age of HERC’s international rental fleet was 31 months in Canada and 33 months in France and Spain, which we believe is roughly comparable to or younger than the average ages of the fleets of HERC’s principal competitors in those countries.

HERC disposes of its used equipment through a variety of channels, including private sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions. Ancillary to its rental business, HERC is also a dealer of certain brands of new equipment in the United States and Canada, and sells consumables such as gloves and hardhats at many of its rental locations.

Licensees

HERC licenses the Hertz name to equipment rental businesses in eight countries in Europe and the Middle East. The terms of those licenses are broadly similar to those we grant to our international car rental licensees.

Competition

HERC’s competitors in the equipment rental industry range from other large national companies to small regional and local businesses. In each of the four countries where HERC operates, the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented, with large numbers of companies operating on a regional or local scale. The number of industry participants operating on a national scale is, however, much smaller. HERC is one of the principal national-scale industry participants in each of the four countries where it operates. HERC’s operations in the United States represented approximately 76% of our worldwide equipment rental revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006. In the United States and Canada, the other top five national-scale industry participants are United Rentals, Inc., or “URI,” RSC Equipment Rental, Sunbelt Rentals, Home Depot Rentals and NES Rentals. A number of individual Caterpillar dealers also participate in the equipment rental market in the United States, Canada, France and Spain. In France, the other principal national-scale industry participants are Loxam, Kiloutou and Laho, while in Spain, the other principal national-scale industry participants are GAM and Euroloc.

Competition in the equipment rental industry is intense, and it often takes the form of price competition. HERC’s competitors, some of which may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that HERC matches downward competitor pricing, it could have an adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that HERC is not willing to match competitor pricing, it could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations due to lower rental volume. From 2001 to 2003, the equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we believe industry pricing, measured in the same way, improved in the United States and Canada and only started to improve towards the end of 2005 in France and Spain. HERC also experienced higher equipment rental volumes worldwide for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. We believe that HERC’s competitive success has been primarily the product of its 40 years of experience in the equipment rental industry, its systems and procedures

20




for monitoring, controlling and developing its branch network, its capacity to maintain a comprehensive rental fleet, the quality of its sales force and its established national accounts program.

Other Operations

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Hertz Claim Management Corporation, or “HCM,” provides claim administration services to us and, to a lesser extent, to third parties. These services include investigating, evaluating, negotiating and disposing of a wide variety of claims, including third-party, first-party, bodily injury, property damage, general liability and product liability, but not the underwriting of risks. HCM conducts business at nine regional offices in the United States. Separate subsidiaries of ours conduct similar operations in nine countries in Europe.

Seasonality

Car rental and equipment rental are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. To accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, rent, insurance and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our business is highly seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations.” The following tables set forth this seasonaleffect by providing quarterly revenues and operating income for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we employed approximately 31,500 persons, consisting of 22,200 persons in our U.S. operations and 9,300 persons in our international operations. Employee benefits in effect include group life insurance, hospitalization and surgical insurance, pension plans and a defined contribution plan. International employees are covered by a wide variety of union contracts and governmental regulations affecting, among other things, compensation, job retention rights and

21




pensions. Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of approximately 7,400 employees in the United States (including those in U.S. territories) are presently in effect under 140 active contracts with local unions, affiliated primarily with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Machinists. Labor contracts covering approximately 2,300 of these employees will expire during 2007. We have had no material work stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last ten years, and we believe our labor relations to be good. Nonetheless, we may be unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to us, or without labor interruptions.

In addition to the employees referred to above, we employ a substantial number of temporary workers, and engage outside services, as is customary in the industry, principally for the non-revenue movement of rental cars and equipment between rental locations and the movement of rental equipment to and from customers’ job sites.

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations, that we believe are necessary and appropriate.

On January 5, 2007 and February 28, 2007, we announced job reductions affecting a total of approximately 1,550 employees primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.

Risk Management

Three types of generally insurable risks arise in our operations:

·  legal liability arising from the operation of our cars and on-road equipment (vehicle liability);

·  legal liability to members of the public and employees from other causes (general liability/workers’ compensation); and

·  risk of property damage and/or business interruption and/or increased cost of working as a consequence of property damage.

In addition, we offer optional liability insurance and other products providing insurance coverage, which create additional risk exposures for us. Our risk of property damage is also increased when we waive the provisions in our rental contracts that hold a renter responsible for damage or loss under an optional loss or damage waiver that we offer. We bear these and other risks, except to the extent the risks are transferred through insurance or contracts.

In many cases we self-insure our risks or reinsure risks through wholly owned insurance subsidiaries. We mitigate our exposure to large liability losses by maintaining excess insurance coverage, subject to deductibles and caps, through unaffiliated carriers with respect to our domestic operations and our car rental operations in Europe. For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC’s operations in Europe, we maintain some liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers. We also maintain property insurance through our captive insurer, Probus Insurance Company Europe Limited, or “Probus” (with the risk reinsured with unaffiliated insurance carriers) domestically and in Europe, subject to deductibles.

22




Third-Party Liability

In our domestic operations, we are required by applicable financial responsibility laws to maintain insurance against legal liability for bodily injury (including death) or property damage to third parties arising from the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes called “vehicle liability,” in stipulated amounts. In most places, we satisfy those requirements by qualifying as a self-insurer, a process that typically involves governmental filings and demonstration of financial responsibility, which sometimes requires the posting of a bond or other security. In the remaining places, we obtain an insurance policy from an unaffiliated insurance carrier and indemnify the carrier for any amounts paid under the policy. As a result of such arrangements, we bear economic responsibility for domestic vehicle liability, except to the extent we successfully transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

For our car rental operations in Europe, we have established two wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, Probus, a direct writer of insurance domiciled in Ireland, and Hertz International RE Limited, or “HIRE,” a reinsurer organized in Ireland. In European countries with company-operated locations, we purchase from Probus the vehicle liability insurance required by law, and Probus reinsures the risks under such insurance with HIRE. Effective January 1, 2007 reinsurance is provided by another subsidiary of ours. Thus, as with our domestic operations, we bear economic responsibility for vehicle liability in our European car rental operations, except to the extent that we transfer such liability to others through insurance or contractual arrangements. For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC’s operations in Europe, we maintain some form of vehicle liability insurance coverage. The nature of such coverage, and our economic responsibility for covered losses, varies considerably. In all cases, though, we believe the amounts and nature of the coverage we obtain is adequate in light of the respective potential hazards.

Both domestically and in our international operations, from time to time in the course of our business we become legally responsible to members of the public for bodily injury (including death) or property damage arising from causes other than the operation of our cars and on-road equipment, sometimes known as “general liability.” As with vehicle liability, we bear economic responsibility for general liability losses, except to the extent we transfer such losses to others through insurance or contractual arrangements.

To mitigate our exposure to large vehicle and general liability losses domestically and in our car rental operations in Europe, we maintain excess insurance coverage with unaffiliated insurance carriers against such losses to the extent they exceed $10 million per occurrence (for occurrences in Europe before December 15, 2003, to the extent such losses exceeded $5 million per occurrence). The coverage provided under such excess insurance policies is limited to $100 million for the current policy year, which began on December 21, 2006 and ends on December 21, 2007 (for occurrences between December 15, 2005 and December 20, 2005, the limit is $235 million; between December 15, 2004 and December 14, 2005, $185 million; between December 15, 2003 and December 14, 2004, $150 million; and between December 15, 2002 and December 14, 2003, $675 million). For our international operations outside Europe and for HERC’s operations in Europe, we also maintain liability insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective potential hazards, where such insurance is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

Our domestic rental contracts, both for car rental and for equipment rental, typically provide that the renter will indemnify us for liability arising from the operation of the rented vehicle or equipment (for car rentals in certain places, though, only to the extent such liability exceeds the amount stipulated in the applicable financial responsibility law). In addition, many of HERC’s domestic rental contracts require the renter to maintain liability insurance under which HERC is entitled to coverage. While such provisions are sometimes effective to transfer liability to renters, their value to us, particularly in cases of large losses, may be limited. The rental contracts used in our international operations sometimes

23




contain provisions relating to insurance or indemnity, but they are typically more limited than those employed in our domestic operations.

In our domestic car rental operations, we offer an optional liability insurance product, Liability Insurance Supplement, or “LIS,” that provides vehicle liability insurance coverage substantially higher than state minimum levels to the renter and other authorized operators of a rented vehicle. LIS coverage is provided under excess liability insurance policies issued by an unaffiliated insurance carrier, the risks under which are reinsured with a subsidiary of ours. As a consequence of those reinsurance arrangements, rental customers’ purchases of LIS do not reduce our economic exposure to vehicle liability. Instead, our exposure to vehicle liability is potentially increased when LIS is purchased, because insured renters and other operators may have vehicle liability imposed on them in circumstances and in amounts where the applicable rental agreement or applicable law would not, absent the arrangements just described, impose vehicle liability on us.

In both our domestic car rental operations and our company-operated international car rental operations in many countries, we offer an optional product or products providing insurance coverage, or “PAI/PEC” coverage, to the renter and the renter’s immediate family members traveling with the renter for accidental death or accidental medical expenses arising during the rental period or for damage or loss of their property during the rental period. PAI/PEC coverage is provided under insurance policies issued by unaffiliated carriers or, in some parts of Europe, by Probus, and the risks under such policies either are reinsured with HIRE or another subsidiary of ours or are the subject of indemnification arrangements between us and the carriers. Rental customers’ purchases of PAI/PEC coverage create additional risk exposures for us, since we would not typically be liable for the risks insured by PAI/PEC coverage if that coverage had not been purchased.

Our offering of LIS and PAI/PEC coverage in our domestic car rental operations is conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers. In our international car rental operations, our offering of PAI/PEC coverage historically has not been regulated; however, in the countries of the European Union, the regulatory environment for insurance intermediaries is rapidly evolving, and we cannot assure you either that we will be able to continue offering PAI/PEC coverage without substantial changes in its offering process or in the terms of the coverage or that such changes, if required, would not render uneconomic our continued offering of the coverage. Due to a change in law in Australia, we have discontinued the sales of insurance products there.

Provisions on our books for self-insured vehicle liability losses are made by charges to expense based upon evaluations of estimated ultimate liabilities on reported and unreported claims. As of December 31, 2006, this liability was estimated at $327.0 million for our combined domestic and international operations.

Damage to Our Property

We bear the risk of damage to our property, unless such risk is transferred through insurance or contractual arrangements.

To mitigate our risk of large, single-site property damage losses domestically and in Europe, we maintain property insurance through our captive insurer, Probus (with the risk reinsured with unaffiliated insurance carriers), generally with a per-occurrence deductible of $3.0 million ($10 million effective April 30, 2006 in the United States) and $2.5 million in respect of vehicle damage, and $50,000 in respect of all other losses, in Europe. For our international operations outside Europe, we also maintain property insurance coverage with unaffiliated carriers in such amounts as we deem adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms.

24




Our rental contracts typically provide that the renter is responsible for damage to or loss (including loss through theft) of rented vehicles or equipment. We generally offer an optional rental product, known in various countries as “loss damage waiver,” “collision damage waiver,” “theft protection” or “accident excess reduction,” under which we waive or limit our right to make a claim for such damage or loss. This product is not regulated as insurance, but it is subject to specific laws in roughly half of the U.S. jurisdictions where we operate.

Collision damage costs and the costs of stolen or unaccounted-for vehicles and equipment, along with other damage to our property, are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Risks

To manage other risks associated with our businesses, or to comply with applicable law, we purchase other types of insurance carried by business organizations, such as worker’s compensation and employer’s liability (for which we, through contracts with insurers domestically, bear the risk of the first $5 million of loss from any occurrence), commercial crime and fidelity, performance bonds and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, from unaffiliated insurance companies in amounts deemed by us to be adequate in light of the respective hazards, where such coverage is obtainable on commercially reasonable terms.

Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters

Throughout the world, we are subject to numerous types of governmental controls, including those relating to prices and advertising, privacy and data protection, currency controls, labor matters, charge card operations, insurance, environmental protection, used car sales and licensing.

Environmental

The environmental requirements applicable to our operations generally pertain to (i) the operation and maintenance of cars, trucks and other vehicles, such as heavy equipment, buses and vans; (ii) the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel and oil; and (iii) the generation, storage, transportation and disposal of waste materials, including oil, vehicle wash sludge and waste water. We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

The use of cars and other vehicles is subject to various governmental requirements designed to limit environmental damage, including those caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these requirements are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. Measures are taken at certain locations in states that require the installation of Stage II Vapor Recovery equipment to reduce the loss of vapor during the fueling process.

We utilize tanks worldwide, approximately 490 of which are underground and 1,840 of which are aboveground, to store petroleum products, and we believe our tanks are maintained in material compliance with environmental regulations, including federal and state financial responsibility requirements for corrective action and third-party claims due to releases. Our compliance program for our tanks is intended to ensure that (i) the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and (ii) the tanks have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill and corrosion protection requirements.

We are also incurring and providing for expenses for the investigation and cleanup of contamination from the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

25




As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Other accrued liabilities” were $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the site. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the nature of the contamination, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

With respect to cleanup expenditures for the discharge of petroleum substances at, or emanating from, currently and formerly owned or leased properties, we have received reimbursement, in whole or in part, from certain U.S. states that maintain underground storage tank petroleum cleanup reimbursement funds. Such funds have been established to assist tank owners in the payment of cleanup costs associated with releases from registered tanks. With respect to off-site U.S. locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified, we have been and continue to be required to contribute to cleanup costs due to strict joint and several cleanup liability imposed by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and comparable state superfund statutes.

Environmental legislation and regulations and related administrative policies have changed rapidly in recent years, both in the United States and in other countries. There is a risk that governmental environmental requirements, or enforcement thereof, may become more stringent in the future and that we may be subject to legal proceedings brought by government agencies or private parties with respect to environmental matters. In addition, with respect to cleanup of contamination, additional locations at which wastes generated by us or substances used by us may have been released or disposed, and of which we are currently unaware, may in the future become the subject of cleanup for which we may be liable, in whole or part. Further, at airport-leased properties, we may be subject to environmental requirements imposed by airports that are more restrictive than those obligations imposed by environmental regulatory agencies. Accordingly, while we believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable requirements of environmental laws, we cannot offer assurance that our future environmental liabilities will not be material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Dealings with Renters

In the United States, car and equipment rental transactions are generally subject to Article 2A of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs “leases” of tangible personal property. Car rental is also specifically regulated in more than half of the states of the United States. The subjects of state regulation include the methods by which we advertise, quote and charge prices, the consequences of failing to honor reservations, the terms on which we deal with vehicle loss or damage (including the protections we provide to renters purchasing loss or damage waivers) and the terms and method of sale of the optional insurance coverage that we offer. Some states (including California, New York, Nevada and Illinois) regulate the price at which we may sell loss or damage waivers, and many state insurance regulators have authority over the prices and terms of the optional insurance coverage we offer. See “—Risk Management” above for further discussion regarding the loss or damage waivers and optional insurance coverages that we offer renters. Internationally, regulatory regimes vary greatly by jurisdiction, but they do not generally prevent us from dealing with customers in a manner similar to that employed in the United States.

26




Both in the United States and internationally, we are subject to increasing regulation relating to customer privacy and data protection. In general, we are limited in the uses to which we may put data that we collect about renters, including the circumstances in which we may communicate with them. In addition, we are generally obligated to take reasonable steps to protect customer data while it is in our possession. Our failure to do so could subject us to substantial legal liability or seriously damage our reputation.

Changes in Regulation

Changes in government regulation of our business have the potential to alter our business practices, or our profitability, materially. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect; this is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances. Recent or potential changes in law or regulation that affect us relate to insurance intermediaries, customer privacy and data security and rate regulation, each as described under “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.”

In addition, our operations, as well as those of our competitors, also could be affected by any limitation in the fuel supply or by any imposition of mandatory allocation or rationing regulations. We are not aware of any current proposal to impose such a regime in the United States or internationally. Such a regime could, however, be quickly imposed if there were a serious disruption in supply for any reason, including an act of war, terrorist incident or other problem affecting petroleum supply, refining, distribution or pricing.

Relationship with Ford

Prior to the Acquisition, Ford, through its wholly owned subsidiary Ford Holdings, was Hertz’s only stockholder. As a result of the Acquisition, Hertz Holdings indirectly owns all of Hertz’s outstanding common stock. As a result of our initial public offering, investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors currently own approximately 72% of Hertz Holdings’ outstanding common stock.

Set forth below are descriptions of certain agreements, relationships and transactions between Hertz and Ford that survived the completion of the Acquisition.

Supply and Advertising Arrangements

On July 5, 2005, Hertz, one of its wholly owned subsidiaries and Ford signed a Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, effective July 5, 2005 and expiring August 31, 2010, that covers the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years.

The terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement only apply to our fleet requirements and advertising in the United States and to Ford, Lincoln or Mercury brand vehicles, or “Ford Vehicles.” Under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, Ford has agreed to supply to us and we have agreed to purchase from Ford, during each of the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years, a specific number of Ford Vehicles. Ford has also agreed in the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement to pay us a contribution toward the cost of our advertising of Ford Vehicles equal to one-half of our total expenditure on such advertising, up to a specified maximum amount. To be eligible for advertising

27




cost contribution under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, the advertising must meet certain conditions, including the condition that we feature Ford Vehicles in a manner and with a prominence that is reasonably satisfactory to Ford. It further provides that the amounts Ford will be obligated to pay to us for our advertising costs will be increased or reduced according to the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in any model year, provided Ford will not be required to pay any amount for our advertising costs for any year if the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in the corresponding model year is less than a specified minimum except to the extent that our failure to acquire the specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles is attributable to the availability of Ford Vehicles or Ford vehicle production is disrupted for reasons beyond the control of Ford. To the extent we acquire less than a specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles in any model year, we have agreed to pay Ford a specified amount per vehicle below the minimum.

The advertising contributions paid by Ford for the 2006 vehicle model year were slightly higher than the advertising contributions we received from Ford for the 2005 model year due to an increase in the number of Ford Vehicles acquired and an increase in the per car contribution. We expect that contributions in future years will be below levels for the 2006 model year based upon anticipated reductions in the number of Ford Vehicles to be acquired. We do not expect that the reductions in Ford’s advertising contributions will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Under the terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, we are able to enter into vehicle advertising and supply agreements with other automobile manufacturers in the United States and in other countries, and we intend to explore those opportunities. However, we cannot offer assurance that we will be able to obtain advertising contributions from other automobile manufacturers that will mitigate reductions in Ford’s advertising contributions.

Ford subsidiaries and affiliates also supply other brands of cars, including Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda and Land Rover cars, to us in the United States under arrangements separate from the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement. In addition, Ford and its subsidiaries and affiliates are significant suppliers of cars to our international operations.

Other Relationships and Transactions

We and Ford also engage in other transactions in the ordinary course of our respective businesses. These transactions include HERC’s providing equipment rental services to Ford, our providing insurance and insurance claim management services to Ford and our providing car rental services to Ford. In addition, Ford subsidiaries are our car rental licensees in Scandinavia and Finland.

We may be exposed to liabilities for regulatory or tax contingencies of Ford arising from the period during which we were a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that any payments in respect of these indemnification arrangements will be made available.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to a number of important risks and uncertainties, some of which are described below. The risks described below, however, are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Business

An economic downturn could result in a decline in business and leisure travel and non-residential capital investment, which could harm our business.

Our results of operations are affected by many economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate. A decline in economic activity either in the United States or in international markets may have a material adverse effect on our business. In the car rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in both business and leisure travel and, accordingly, a decline in the volume of car rental transactions. In the equipment rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in activity in non-residential construction and other businesses in which our equipment rental customers operate and, therefore, results in a decline in the volume of equipment rental transactions. In the case of a decline in car or equipment rental activity, we may reduce rental rates to meet competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. A decline in economic activity also may have a material adverse effect on residual values realized on the disposition of our revenue earning cars and/or equipment.

We face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing, or an inability to increase prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. See “Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Competition” and “Item 1—Business—Equipment Rental—Competition.” We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the car and equipment rental markets. Our competitors, some of whom may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that we match competitors’ downward pricing, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive distance from our competitors’ pricing, it could also have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, as we may lose rental volume. The Internet has increased pricing transparency among car rental companies by enabling cost-conscious customers, including business travelers, to more easily obtain the lowest rates available from car rental companies for any given trip. This transparency may increase the prevalence and intensity of price competition in the future.

Our car rental business is dependent on the air travel industry, and disruptions in air travel patterns could harm our business.

We estimate that approximately 72% of our worldwide car rental revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006 were generated at our airport rental locations. Significant capacity reductions or airfare increases (e.g., due to an increase in fuel costs) could result in reduced air travel and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, any event that disrupts or reduces business or leisure air travel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In particular, many U.S. airlines have experienced economic distress in recent years. Any further deterioration in the economic condition of U.S. and international airlines could exacerbate reductions in air travel. Other events that impact air travel could include work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, epidemic diseases, or the response of governments to any of

29




these events. For example, shortly before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, we estimated that we would earn a pre-tax profit of approximately $250 million in 2001; by contrast, our actual pre-tax profit for 2001 was only approximately $3 million, and we continued to feel the adverse effects of the attacks well into the following year. On a smaller scale, the 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or “SARS,” in the Toronto, Canada area and parts of Asia, significantly reduced our 2003 results of operations in Canada.

Our business is highly seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Certain significant components of our expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, utilities, maintenance and other facility-related expenses, the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, are fixed in the short-run. Seasonal changes in our revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. The second and third quarters of the year have historically been our strongest quarters due to their increased levels of leisure travel and construction activity. In 2006, the second and third quarters accounted for approximately 25% and 28% of total revenues and 29% and 82% of income before income taxes and minority interest, respectively. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the second or third quarters could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our liquidity and/or results of operations. See “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

We may not be successful in our business strategy to expand into the off-airport rental market, including marketing to replacement renters and insurance companies that reimburse or pay for such rentals.

We have been increasing our presence in the off-airport car rental market in the United States. We currently intend to pursue profitable growth opportunities in the off-airport market. We may do this through a combination of selected new location openings, a disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. In order to increase revenues at our existing and any new off-airport locations, we will need to successfully market to insurance companies and other companies that provide rental referrals to those needing cars while their vehicles are being repaired or are temporarily unavailable for other reasons, as well as to the renters themselves. This could involve a significant number of additional off-airport locations or strategic changes with respect to our existing locations. We incur minimal non-fleet costs in opening our new off-airport locations, but new off-airport locations, once opened, take time to generate their full potential revenues. As a result, revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operation. See “Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Operations.” The results of this strategy and the success of our implementation of this strategy will not be known for a number of years. If we are unable to grow profitably in our off-airport network, properly react to changes in market conditions or successfully market to replacement renters and the insurance companies covering the cost of their rentals, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We face risks of increased costs of cars and of decreased profitability, including as a result of limited supplies of competitively priced cars.

We believe we are one of the largest private sector purchasers of new cars in the world for our rental fleet, and during the year ended December 31, 2006, our approximate average holding period for a rental car was ten months in the United States and nine months in our international car rental operations. In recent years, the average cost of new cars has increased. In the United States, increases of approximately 17% in monthly per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year program

30




cars began to adversely affect our results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2005, as those cars began to enter our fleet. On a comparable basis, we expect 2007 model year program vehicle depreciation costs to rise approximately 20% and per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year U.S. risk cars to decline slightly. As a consequence of those changes in per-car costs, as well as the larger proportion of our U.S. fleet we expect to purchase as risk cars and other actions we expect to take to mitigate program car cost increases, we expect our net per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year cars in the United States will increase by approximately 5% from our net per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year U.S. cars. We began to experience the impact of those cost changes and mitigation actions in the fourth quarter of 2006, as substantial numbers of 2007 model year cars began to enter our U.S. rental fleet. We may not be able to offset these car cost increases to a degree sufficient to maintain our profitability.

Historically, we have purchased more of the cars we rent from Ford than from any other automobile manufacturer. Over the five years ended December 31, 2006, approximately 47% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 32% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 40% of the cars acquired by us domestically were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries and approximately 30% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and its subsidiaries, which represented the largest percentage of any automobile manufacturer during that period. Under our Master Supply and Advertising Agreement with Ford, Ford has agreed to develop fleet offerings in the United States that are generally competitive with terms and conditions of similar offerings by other automobile manufacturers. The Master Supply and Advertising Agreement expires in 2010. See “Item 1—Business—Relationship with Ford—Supply and Advertising Arrangements.” We cannot assure you that we will be able to extend the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement beyond its current term or enter into similar agreements at reasonable terms. In the future, we expect to buy a smaller proportion of our car rental fleet from Ford than we have in the past. If Ford does not offer us competitive terms and conditions, and we are not able to purchase sufficient quantities of cars from other automobile manufacturers on competitive terms and conditions, then we may be forced to purchase cars at higher prices, or on terms less competitive, than for cars purchased by our competitors. Historically, we have also purchased a significant percentage of our car rental fleet from General Motors. Over the five years ended December 31, 2006, approximately 19% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 15% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 17% of the cars acquired by our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 13% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by General Motors.

To date we have not entered into any long-term car supply arrangements with manufacturers other than Ford. In addition, certain car manufacturers, including Ford, have adopted strategies to de-emphasize sales to the car rental industry which they view as less profitable due to historical sales incentive and other discount programs that tended to lower the average cost of cars for fleet purchasers such as us. Reduced or limited supplies of equipment together with increased prices are risks that we also face in our equipment rental business. We cannot offer assurance that we will be able to pass on increased costs of cars or equipment to our rental customers. Failure to pass on significant cost increases to our customers would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks related to decreased acquisition or disposition of cars through repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 64% of the cars purchased in our combined U.S. and international car rental fleet were subject to repurchase by car manufacturers under

31




contractual repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs. Under these programs, car manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price or guarantee the depreciation rate on the cars during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. These repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs limit the risk to us that the market value of a car at the time of its disposition will be less than its estimated residual value at such time. We refer to this risk as “residual risk.” For this reason, cars purchased by car rental companies under repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are sometimes referred to by industry participants as “program” cars. Conversely, those cars not purchased under repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs for which the car rental company is exposed to residual risk are sometimes referred to as “risk” cars.

Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs enable us to determine our depreciation expense in advance. This predictability is useful to us, since depreciation is a significant cost factor in our operations. Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs are also useful in managing our seasonal peak demand for fleet, because some of them permit us to acquire cars and dispose of them after relatively short periods of time. A trade-off we face when we purchase program cars is that we typically pay the manufacturer of a program car more than we would pay to buy the same car as a risk car. Program cars thus involve a larger initial investment than their risk counterparts. If a program car is damaged or otherwise becomes ineligible for return or sale under the relevant program, our loss upon the disposition of the car will be larger than if the car had been a risk car, because our initial investment in the car was larger.

We expect the percentage of our car rental fleet subject to repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs to decrease substantially due primarily to changes in the terms offered by automobile manufacturers under repurchase programs. Accordingly, we expect to bear increased risk relating to the residual market value and the related depreciation on our car rental fleet and to use different rotational techniques to accommodate our seasonal peak demand for cars.

Repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet by returning cars sooner than originally expected without risk of loss in the event of an economic downturn or to respond to changes in rental demand. This flexibility will be reduced as the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet decreases materially. See “Item 1—Business—Worldwide Car Rental—Fleet” and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview.”

In the future, car manufacturers could modify or eliminate their repurchase or guaranteed depreciation programs or change their return policies (which include condition, mileage and holding period requirements for returned cars) from one program year to another to make it disadvantageous to acquire certain cars. Any such modification or elimination would increase our exposure to the risks described in the preceding paragraphs. In addition, because we obtain a substantial portion of our financing in reliance on repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, the modification or elimination of those programs, or the associated return policies, by manufacturers or significant adverse changes in the financial condition of manufacturers could make needed vehicle-related debt financing significantly more difficult to obtain on reasonable terms. See “—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.”

We could be harmed by a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars, particularly if they are unable, or reject their obligations, to repurchase program cars from us or to guarantee the depreciation of program cars.

In 2005 and 2006, Ford and General Motors, which are the principal suppliers of cars to us on both a program and risk basis, have experienced deterioration in their operating results and significant

32




declines in their credit ratings. A severe or persistent decline in the results of operations or financial condition of a manufacturer of cars that we own could reduce the cars’ residual values, particularly to the extent that the manufacturer unexpectedly announced the eventual elimination of its models or nameplates or ceased manufacturing them altogether. Such a reduction could cause us to sustain a loss on the ultimate sale of risk cars, on which we bear the risk of such declines in residual value, or require us to depreciate those cars on a more rapid basis while we own them.

In addition, if a decline in results or conditions were so severe as to cause a manufacturer to default on an obligation to repurchase or guarantee the depreciation of program cars we own, or to cause a manufacturer to commence bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, and reject its repurchase or guaranteed depreciation obligations, we would have to dispose of those program cars without the benefits of the associated programs. This could significantly increase our expenses. In addition, disposing of program cars following a manufacturer default or rejection of the program in bankruptcy could result in losses similar to those associated with the disposition of cars that have become ineligible for return or sale under the applicable program. Such losses could be material if a large number of program cars were affected. For example, we estimate that if Ford Motor Company, but not its subsidiaries, were to file for bankruptcy reorganization and reject all its commitments to repurchase program cars from us, we would sustain material losses, which could be as high as over one hundred million dollars, upon disposition of those cars. A reduction in the number of program cars that we buy would reduce the magnitude of this exposure, but it would simultaneously increase our exposure to residual value risk. See “—We face risks related to decreased acquisition or disposition of cars through repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs.”

Any default or reorganization of a manufacturer that has sold us program cars might also leave us with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program cars that were sold and returned to the car manufacturer but not paid for, or that were sold for less than their agreed repurchase price or guaranteed value. For the year ended December 31, 2006, outstanding month-end receivables for cars sold to manufacturers were as much as $805 million, with the highest amount for a single manufacturer being $204 million owed by Ford. A decline in the economic and business prospects of car manufacturers, including any economic distress impacting the suppliers of car components to manufacturers, could also cause manufacturers to raise the prices we pay for cars or reduce their supply to us. In addition, events negatively affecting the car manufacturers could affect how much we may borrow under our asset-backed financing. See “—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.”

We may not be successful in implementing our strategy of reducing operating costs and our cost reduction initiatives may have other adverse consequences.

We are implementing initiatives to reduce our operating expenses. These initiatives include headcount reductions, as well as other expense controls. We cannot assure you that we will be able to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully, or at all. Even if we are successful in our cost reduction initiatives, we may face other risks associated with our plans, including declines in employee morale or the level of customer service we provide. Any of these risks could materialize and therefore may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.

We rely significantly on asset-backed financing to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleets. In connection with the Acquisition, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly owned by us issued approximately $4,300 million of new debt (plus an additional $1,500 million in the form of variable funding notes issued but not funded at the closing of the Acquisition) backed by our U.S. car rental fleet under our U.S. asset-backed securities program, or our “ABS Program.” In

33




addition, we issued $600 million of medium term notes backed by our U.S. car rental fleet prior to the Acquisition, or the “pre-Acquisition ABS Notes,” all of which remain outstanding. As part of the Acquisition, various of our non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain special purpose entities issued approximately $1,781 million of debt under loan facilities secured by rental vehicles and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or by rental equipment and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries organized outside North America, as well as (subject to certain limited exceptions) substantially all our other assets outside North America. The asset-backed debt issued in connection with the Transactions has expected final payment dates ranging from 2008 to 2010 and the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have expected final payment dates ranging from 2007 to 2009. Based upon these repayment dates, this debt will need to be refinanced within five years from the date of the closing of the Transactions. Consequently, if our access to asset-backed financing were reduced or were to become significantly more expensive for any reason, we cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed financing or continue to finance new car acquisitions through asset-backed financing on favorable terms, or at all. Our asset-backed financing capacity could be decreased, or financing costs and interest rates could be increased, as a result of risks and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, including, without limitation:

·       rating agencies that provide credit ratings for our asset-backed indebtedness, third-party credit enhancers that insure our asset-backed indebtedness or other third parties requiring changes in the terms and structure of our asset-backed financing, including increased credit enhancement (i) in connection with the incurrence of additional or refinancing of existing asset-backed debt, (ii) upon the occurrence of external events, such as changes in general economic and market conditions or further deterioration in the credit ratings of our principal car manufacturers, including Ford and General Motors, or (iii) or otherwise;

·       the terms and availability of third-party credit enhancement at the time of the incurrence of additional or refinancing of existing asset-backed debt;

·       the insolvency or deterioration of the financial condition of one or more of the third-party credit enhancers that insure our asset-backed indebtedness;

·       the occurrence of certain events that, under the agreements governing our asset-backed financing, could result, among other things, in (i) an amortization event pursuant to which payments of principal and interest on the affected series of asset-backed notes may be accelerated, or (ii) a liquidation event of default pursuant to which the trustee or holders of asset-backed notes would be permitted to require the sale of fleet vehicles or equipment that collateralize the asset-backed financing; or

·       changes in law that negatively impact our asset-backed financing structure.

Any disruption in our ability to refinance or replace our existing asset-backed financing or to continue to finance new car acquisitions through asset-backed financing, or any negative development in the terms of the asset-backed financing available to us, could cause our cost of financing to increase significantly and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The assets that collateralize our asset-backed financing will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. The terms of our senior credit facilities permit us to finance or refinance new car acquisitions through other means, including secured financing that is not limited to the assets of special purpose entity subsidiaries. We may seek in the future to finance or refinance new car acquisitions, including cars excluded from the ABS Program, through such other means. No assurances can be given, however, as to whether such financing will be available, or as to whether the terms of such financing will be comparable to the debt issued under the ABS Program.

34




Most of our asset-backed debt outside the United States was issued under an interim facility which provided for increased margins if the debt was not refinanced by March 21, 2007. We are in the process of negotiating new financing facilities to enable us to refinance this debt. However, we cannot assure you that these efforts will be successful or, if they are successful, that the new facilities will enable us to finance our operations at rates which are as favorable to us as those of the existing facility. On March 21, 2007, the existing facility was amended and restated to, among other things, modify the provisions which provide for increased margins. The effect of these changes will be to reduce or eliminate the adverse consequences of these provisions to us for an interim period that will end on December 21, 2007 in order to give us additional time to refinance the interim facility. As a result of the changes, there was no increase in margins on March 21, 2007. The extent of the relief that we will receive during the remainder of the interim period will depend upon our ability to achieve certain interim goals during that period. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in achieving these interim goals.

Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies could harm our business.

We could be adversely affected by limitations on fuel supplies, the imposition of mandatory allocations or rationing of fuel or significant increases in fuel prices. A severe or protracted disruption of fuel supplies or significant increases in fuel prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, either by directly interfering with our normal activities or by disrupting the air travel on which a significant portion of our car rental business relies. See “—Our car rental business is dependent on the air travel industry, and disruptions in air travel patterns could harm our business.”

Manufacturer safety recalls could create risks to our business.

Our cars may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. Under certain circumstances, the recalls may cause us to attempt to retrieve cars from renters or to decline to re-rent returned cars until we can arrange for the steps described in the recalls to be taken. If a large number of cars are the subject of simultaneous recalls, or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to re-rent recalled cars for a significant period of time. We could also face liability claims if recalls affect cars that we have already sold. Depending on the severity of the recall, it could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the cars involved and harm our general reputation.

We face risks arising from our heavy reliance on communications networks and centralized information systems.

We rely heavily on information systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleets of cars and equipment, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have centralized our information systems in two redundant facilities in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and we rely on communications service providers to link our systems with the business locations these systems serve. A simultaneous loss of both facilities, or a major disruption of communications between the systems and the locations they serve, could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. Our systems back-up plans, business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, not to eliminate it. In addition, because our systems contain information about millions of individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenues, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.

35




The concentration of our reservations, accounting and information technology functions at a limited number of facilities in Oklahoma, Alabama and Ireland creates risks for us.

We have concentrated our reservations functions for the United States in two facilities, one in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and one in Saraland (Mobile County), Alabama, and we have concentrated our accounting functions for the United States in two facilities in Oklahoma City. Similarly, we have concentrated reservations and accounting functions for our European operations in a single facility near Dublin, Ireland. In addition, our major information systems are centralized in two of our facilities in Oklahoma City. A disruption of normal business at any of our principal facilities in Oklahoma City, Saraland or Dublin, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war, civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service, accounting and systems activities. Our systems designs, business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate those risks, not to eliminate them, and this is particularly true with respect to events of broad geographic impact.

Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

A number of entities, including some of our competitors, have sought, or may in the future obtain, patents and other intellectual property rights that cover or affect software products and other components of information systems that we rely on to operate our business. For example, Enterprise has asserted that certain systems we use to conduct insurance replacement rentals would infringe on patent rights it would obtain if it were granted certain patents for which it has applied. One of the patent applications has received a notice of allowance and we expect that Enterprise will be issued a patent pursuant to that application in the near future.

Litigation may be necessary to determine the validity and scope of third-party rights or to defend against claims of infringement. If a court determines that one or more of the software products or other components of information systems we use infringe on intellectual property owned by others or we agree to settle such a dispute, we may be liable for money damages. In addition, we may be required to cease using those products and components unless we obtain licenses from the owners of the intellectual property, redesign those products and components in such a way as to avoid infringement or cease altogether the use of those products and components. Each of these alternatives could increase our expenses materially or impact the marketability of our services. Any litigation, regardless of the outcome, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, a third-party intellectual property owner might not allow us to use its intellectual property at any price, or on terms acceptable to us, which could materially affect our competitive position and our results of operations.

For example, if Enterprise obtains the patent referred to above and after that were to pursue and prevail on claims of infringement similar to those it has previously asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on our insurance replacement business and, in turn, our off-airport business. We have already commenced litigation against Enterprise with respect to claims it has made to third parties regarding the patent rights referred to above. See “Item 3—Legal Proceedings” for more information regarding that litigation.

36




If we acquire any businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We intend to pursue growth primarily through internal growth, but from time to time we may consider opportunistic acquisitions which may be significant. Any future acquisition would involve numerous risks including, without limitation:

·       potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;

·       difficulty integrating the acquired business; and

·       exposure to unknown liabilities, including litigation against the companies we may acquire.

If we make acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of operations. In addition, the financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.

We face risks related to changes in our ownership.

A substantial number of our airport concession agreements, as well as certain of our other agreements with third parties, require the consent of the airports’ operators or other parties in connection with any change in ownership of us. Changes in ownership of us could also require the approval of other governmental authorities (including insurance regulators, regulators of our retail used car sales activities and antitrust regulators), and we cannot offer assurance that those approvals would be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If our owners were to proceed to change their ownership of us without obtaining necessary approvals, or if significant conditions on our operations were imposed in connection with obtaining such approvals, our ability to conduct our business could be impaired, resulting in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks related to liabilities and insurance.

Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the cars and equipment rented or sold by us and for workers’ compensation claims and other employment-related claims by our employees. Currently, we generally self-insure up to $10 million per occurrence in the United States and Europe for vehicle and general liability exposures and maintain insurance with unaffiliated carriers in excess of such levels up to $100 million per occurrence, or in the case of equipment rental in Europe and international operations outside of Europe, in such lower amounts as we deem adequate given the risks. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting from multiple payouts or otherwise, that liabilities in respect of existing or future claims will not exceed the level of our insurance, that we will have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims or that insurance with unaffiliated carriers will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all. See “Item 1—Business—Risk Management” and “Item 3—Legal Proceedings.”

We could face significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multiemployer pension plans in which we participate.

We participate in various “multiemployer” pension plans administered by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the event that we withdrew from participation in one or more of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to those plans, and we would have to reflect that on our balance sheet and statement of operations. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan’s funding of vested benefits. We currently do not expect to incur any withdrawal liability in the

37




near future. However, in the ordinary course of our renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we could decide to discontinue participation in a plan, and in that event, we could face a withdrawal liability. Some multiemployer plans, including ones in which we participate, are reported to have significantly underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability.

We have received an informal request from the SEC to provide information about car rental services that we provide to our independent registered public accounting firm in the ordinary course of business.

In July 2005, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC informed us that it was conducting an informal inquiry and asked Hertz to voluntarily provide documents and information related to car rental services that we provide to our independent registered public accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or “PwC.” The SEC noted in its letter that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violations of law have occurred, or as a reflection upon any person, entity or security. We cooperated with the SEC by providing it with certain requested information in July and September 2005. Since then, we have received no further requests from the SEC with respect to this informal inquiry, but neither have we been advised that it has been closed.

After learning of this informal inquiry, our audit committee and representatives of PwC discussed PwC’s independence with respect to us. PwC reconfirmed that it has been and remains independent with respect to us. In making this determination, PwC considered, among other things, its belief that PwC’s arrangements with us represent arm’s-length transactions that were negotiated in the normal course of business, and, therefore, that the commercial relationship does not impair PwC’s independence with respect to us. If the SEC were to take a different view and it were ultimately determined that PwC was not independent with respect to us for certain periods, our filings with the SEC which contain our consolidated financial statements for such periods would be non-compliant with applicable securities laws. A determination that PwC was not independent with respect to us could, among other things, cause us to be in violation of, or in default under, the instruments governing our indebtedness and airport concession agreements, limit our access to capital markets and result in regulatory sanctions. Also, in the event of such a determination, we may be required to have independent audits conducted on our previously audited financial statements by another independent registered public accounting firm for the affected periods. The time involved to conduct such independent audits may make it more difficult to obtain capital on favorable terms, or at all, pending the completion of such audits. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, the trading prices of our securities and the continued eligibility for listing of our common stock on The New York Stock Exchange, or “NYSE.”

Environmental laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation imposed under them, could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are regulated by federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including, among other things, with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste oils. We have established a compliance program for our tanks that is intended to ensure that the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill and corrosion protection requirements. However, we cannot assure you that these tank systems will at all times remain free from undetected leaks or that the use of these tanks will not result in significant spills.

We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including, among others, expenditures for the cleanup of contamination at or emanating

38




from, currently and formerly owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. We cannot assure you that compliance with existing or future environmental legislation and regulations will not require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See “Item 1—Business—Governmental Regulation and Environmental Matters” and “Item 3—Legal Proceedings.”

Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and the other countries and jurisdictions in which we operate, and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter our business practices or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official. Sometimes those changes may have not just prospective but also retroactive effect, which is particularly true when a change is made through reinterpretation of laws or regulations that have been in effect for some time. Moreover, changes in regulation that may seem neutral on their face may have either more or less impact on us than on our competitors, depending on the circumstances.

The optional liability insurance policies and products providing insurance coverage in our domestic car rental operations are conducted pursuant to limited licenses or exemptions under state laws governing the licensing of insurance producers. In our international car rental operations, our offering of optional products providing insurance coverage historically has not been regulated. Any changes in the law in the United States or internationally that change our operating requirements with respect to insurance could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenues. For instance, in the countries of the European Union, the regulatory environment for insurance intermediaries is rapidly evolving, and we cannot assure you either that we will be able to continue offering such coverage without substantial changes in our offering process or in the terms of the coverage or that such changes, if required, would not render uneconomic our continued offering of the coverage. Due to a change in law in Australia, we have discontinued sales of insurance products there. See “Item 1—Business—Risk Management” for further discussion regarding how changes in the regulation of insurance intermediaries may affect us internationally.

Laws in many countries and jurisdictions limit the types of information we may collect about individuals with whom we deal or propose to deal, as well as how we collect, retain and use the information that we are permitted to collect. In addition, the centralized nature of our information systems requires the routine flow of information about customers and potential customers across national borders, particularly into the United States. If this flow of information were to become illegal, or subject to onerous restrictions, our ability to serve our customers could be seriously impaired for an extended period of time. Other changes in the regulation of customer privacy and data security could likewise have a material adverse effect on our business. Privacy and data security are rapidly evolving areas of regulation, and additional regulation in those areas, some of it potentially difficult for us to accommodate, is frequently proposed and occasionally adopted. Thus, changes in the worldwide legal and regulatory environment in the areas of customer privacy, data security and cross-border data flows could have a material adverse effect on our business, primarily through the impairment of our marketing and transaction processing activities.

39




Further, the substantive regulation of the rates we charge car renters, either through direct price regulation or a requirement that we disregard a customer’s source market (location or place of residence) for rate purposes, could reduce our revenues or increase our expenses. We set rates based on a variety of factors including the sources of rental reservations geographically and the means through which the reservations were made, all of which are in response to various market factors and costs. The European Commission is considering a directive that could restrict our ability to take into account the country of residence of European Union residents for rate purposes, and bills have been introduced into the New York State legislature that would seek to prohibit us from charging higher rates to renters residing in certain boroughs of New York City. The adoption of any such measures could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations.

In most places where we operate, we pass through various expenses, including the recovery of vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, to our rental customers as separate charges. The Attorneys General of Massachusetts, Virginia, Montana and Alaska have in the past two years taken positions that car rental companies may not pass through to customers, by means of separate charges, certain of their expenses, such as vehicle licensing costs and airport concession fees, or that car rental companies’ ability to pass through such expenses is limited. In addition, we are currently a defendant in an action challenging the propriety of certain expense pass-through charges in Nevada. We believe our expense pass-through charges, where imposed, are lawful, and expense pass-throughs have, when challenged, been upheld in courts of other states. The position of the Attorney General of Virginia was reversed by subsequent legislation, while the concerns of the Attorney General of Montana, which related primarily to our licensees’ passing through of vehicle licensing costs, were resolved by assurances of voluntary compliance by our licensees (which permitted passing through of such costs subject to certain limitations of small operational significance). Nonetheless, we cannot offer assurance that the Attorney General of Massachusetts or Alaska, or of another state, will not take enforcement action against us with respect to our car rental expense pass-throughs. If such action were taken and an Attorney General were to prevail, it could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operations. In the United States, our revenues from car rental expense pass-throughs for the year ended December 31, 2006, were approximately $311.5 million.

The misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our reputation or competitive position, adversely affect the trading price of our common stock or give rise to material liabilities.

We possess non-public information with respect to millions of individuals, including our customers and our current and former employees, and thousands of businesses, as well as non-public information with respect to our own affairs. The misuse or theft of that information by either our employees or third parties could result in material damage to our brand, reputation or competitive position or materially affect the price at which shares of our common stock trade. In addition, depending on the type of information involved, the nature of our relationship with the person or entity to which the information relates, the cause and the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable, such misuse or theft of information could result in governmental investigations or material civil or criminal liability. The laws that would be applicable to such a failure are rapidly evolving and becoming more burdensome. See “—Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that impact our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, customer privacy, data security, insurance rates and expenses we pass through to customers by means of separate charges, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.”

The Sponsors control us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future.

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VII, L.P. and related funds, Carlyle Partners IV, L.P. and related funds and ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P. and related funds currently beneficially own approximately 24.2%, 23.9% and 23.5%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings. These funds and Hertz Holdings are parties to a Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which the funds have agreed to vote in favor of nominees to our board of directors nominated by the other funds. As a result, the Sponsors will continue to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval and our policy and affairs, for example, by being able to direct the use of proceeds received from future securities offerings. See “Item 13—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.”

Additionally, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. One or more of the Sponsors may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. So long as investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors continue to indirectly own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of our common stock, even if such amount is less than 50%, the Sponsors will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. While we have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct that applies to all our directors, it does not preclude the Sponsors from becoming engaged in businesses that compete with us or preclude our directors from taking advantage of business opportunities other than those made available to them through the use of their position as directors or the use of our property.

Risks Relating to Our Substantial Indebtedness

We have substantial debt and may incur substantial additional debt, which could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to obtain financing in the future and our ability to react to changes in our business.

As of December 31, 2006, we had an aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding of $12,359.4 million and a debt to equity ratio, calculated using the total amount of our outstanding debt net of unamortized discounts of 4.9 to 1.

Our substantial debt could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

·       make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our outstanding debt securities and to the lenders under our senior credit facilities and the U.S. and international fleet debt financings entered into as part of the Transactions, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness;

·       require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our debt, which would reduce the availability of our cash flows from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes;

·       increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings, including under the agreements governing our U.S. and international fleet debt financings entered into as part of the Transactions and our senior credit facilities, is at variable rates of interest;

·       place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors with proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates;

·       limit our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness or borrow additional funds in the future;

·       limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changing conditions in our business and industry; and

41




·       limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve operating margins.

Any of the foregoing impacts of our substantial indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Despite our current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the instruments governing our indebtedness do not prohibit us or fully prohibit our subsidiaries from doing so. As of December 31, 2006, our senior credit facilities provided us commitments for additional aggregate borrowings (subject to borrowing base limitations) of approximately $1,611.1 million, and permitted additional borrowings beyond those commitments under certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2006, our U.S. fleet debt facilities, international fleet debt facilities and our fleet financing facility for our fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands provided us commitments for additional aggregate borrowings of approximately $1,500.0 million, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,236.4 million and $107.0 million, respectively, subject to borrowing base limitations. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. In addition, the instruments governing our indebtedness do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a $1.0 billion loan facility in order to finance the payment of a special cash dividend of $4.32 per share on June 30, 2006. Although this facility was repaid in full with the proceeds from our initial public offering, we cannot assure you that Hertz Holdings will not enter into similar transactions in the future.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under such indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, or to refinance our obligations under our debt agreements, will depend on the financial and operating performance of us and our subsidiaries, which, in turn, will be subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to the financial and business risk factors, many of which may be beyond our control, as described under “—Risks Related to Our Business” above.

We cannot assure you that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek to obtain additional equity capital or restructure our indebtedness. In the future, our cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient for payments of interest on and principal of our debt, and such alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet scheduled debt service obligations. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing, particularly because of our high levels of debt and the debt incurrence restrictions imposed by the agreements governing our debt, as well as prevailing market conditions. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The instruments governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to dispose of assets and restrict the use of proceeds from any such dispositions. We cannot assure you we will be able to consummate those sales, or, if we do, what the timing of the sales will be or whether the proceeds that we realize will be adequate to meet debt service obligations when due.

42




A significant portion of our outstanding indebtedness is secured by substantially all of our consolidated assets. As a result of these security interests, such assets would only be available to satisfy claims of our general creditors or to holders of our equity securities if we were to become insolvent to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, the existence of these security interests may adversely affect our financial flexibility.

Indebtedness under our senior credit facilities is secured by a lien on substantially all our assets (other than assets of foreign subsidiaries), including pledges of all or a portion of the capital stock of certain of our subsidiaries. Our senior notes and senior subordinated notes are unsecured and therefore do not have the benefit of such collateral. Accordingly, if an event of default were to occur under our senior credit facilities, the senior secured lenders under such facilities would have a prior right to our assets, to the exclusion of our general creditors, including the holders of our senior notes and senior subordinated notes. In that event, our assets would first be used to repay in full all indebtedness and other obligations secured by them (including all amounts outstanding under our senior credit facilities), resulting in all or a portion of our assets being unavailable to satisfy the claims of our unsecured indebtedness. Furthermore, many of the subsidiaries that hold our U.S. and international car rental fleets in connection with our asset-backed financing programs are intended to be bankruptcy remote and the assets held by them may not be available to our general creditors in a bankruptcy unless and until they are transferred to a non-bankruptcy remote entity. As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of our consolidated assets, including our car and equipment rental fleets, have been pledged for the benefit of the lenders under our senior credit facilities or are subject to securitization facilities in connection with our U.S. and international fleet debt facilities. As a result, the lenders under these facilities would have a prior claim on such assets in the event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization, and we may not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors and holders of our unsecured indebtedness may receive less, ratably, than the holders of our senior debt, and may not be fully paid, or may not be paid at all, even when other creditors receive full payment for their claims. In that event, holders of our equity securities would not be entitled to receive any of our assets or the proceeds therefrom. As discussed below, the pledge of these assets and other restrictions may limit our flexibility in raising capital for other purposes. Because substantially all of our assets are pledged under these financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital may be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our financial flexibility.

Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial flexibility.

Our senior credit facilities and the indentures governing our senior notes and senior subordinated notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict Hertz’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to:

·       dispose of assets;

·       incur additional indebtedness;

·       incur guarantee obligations;

·       prepay other indebtedness or amend other debt instruments;

·       pay dividends;

·       create liens on assets;

·       enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

·       make investments, loans or advances;

43




·       make acquisitions;

·       engage in mergers or consolidations;

·       change the business conducted by us; and

·       engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

In addition, under our Senior Credit Facilities, we are required to comply with financial covenants. If we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity under our Senior ABL Facility, we will then be subject to financial covenants under that facility, including covenants that will obligate us to maintain a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Corporate EBITDA to fixed charges coverage ratio. The financial covenants in our Senior Term Facility include obligations to maintain a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Corporate EBITDA to interest expense coverage ratio for specified periods. Both our Senior ABL Facility and our Senior Term Facility also impose limitations on the amount of our capital expenditures. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will also depend substantially on the pricing of our products and services, our success at implementing cost reduction initiatives and our ability to successfully implement our overall business strategy. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our senior credit facilities and the indentures for our senior notes and senior subordinated notes may be affected by economic, financial and industry conditions beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under either our senior credit facilities or the indentures that would permit the applicable lenders or holders of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes, as the case may be, to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In any such case, we may be unable to make borrowings under the senior credit facilities and may not be able to repay the amounts due under the senior credit facilities and the senior notes and senior subordinated notes. This could have serious consequences to our financial condition and results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.

We are also subject to operational limitations under the terms of our ABS Program. For example, there are contractual limitations with respect to the cars that secure our ABS Program. These limitations are based on the identity or credit ratings of the cars’ manufacturers, the existence of satisfactory repurchase or guaranteed depreciation arrangements for the cars or the physical characteristics of the cars. As a result, we may be required to limit the percentage of cars from any one manufacturer or increase the credit enhancement related to the program and may not be able to take advantage of certain cost savings that might otherwise be available through manufacturers. If these limitations prevented us from purchasing, or retaining in our fleet, cars on terms that we would otherwise find advantageous, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Further, the facilities relating to our international fleet financing contain a number of covenants, including a covenant that restricts the ability of Hertz International, Ltd., a subsidiary of ours that is the direct or indirect holding company of substantially all of our non-U.S. operating subsidiaries, to make dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness), in an amount greater than 100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount, calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until the later of one year from the Closing Date and such time as 50% of the commitments under the facilities on the Closing Date have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of excess cash flow based on the percentage of facilities relating to

44




our international fleet debt at the closing of the Acquisition that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. These restrictions will limit the availability of funds from Hertz International, Ltd. and its subsidiaries to help us make payments on our indebtedness. Certain of these permanent take-out international asset-based facilities are expected to be novel and complicated structures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such permanent take-out financings on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis, if at all; if we are unable to do so, our liquidity and interest costs may be adversely affected. See “—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.”

Certain of our Canadian subsidiaries are parties to our Senior ABL Facility and are not subject to these International Fleet Debt restrictions. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries, including the operations of these Canadian subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 30% of our total revenues and 24% of our Corporate EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2006. See Note 10 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.

A significant portion of our outstanding debt, including borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities, International Fleet Debt and certain of our other outstanding debt securities, bear interest at variable rates. As a result, an increase in interest rates, whether because of an increase in market interest rates or an increase in our own cost of borrowing, would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could materially reduce our profitability, including, in the case of the U.S. Fleet Debt and the International Fleet Debt, our Corporate EBITDA. The impact of such an increase would be more significant than it would be for some other companies because of our substantial debt. For a discussion of how we manage our exposure to changes in interest rates through the use of interest rate swap agreements on certain portions of our outstanding debt, see “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Risks—Interest Rate Risk.”

The instruments governing our debt contain cross default or cross acceleration provisions that may cause all of the debt issued under such instruments to become immediately due and payable as a result of a default under an unrelated debt instrument.

The indentures governing our senior notes and senior subordinated notes and the agreements governing our senior credit facilities contain numerous covenants and require us to meet certain financial ratios and tests which utilize Corporate EBITDA. Our failure to comply with the obligations contained in these agreements or other instruments governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt and the debt issued under other instruments becoming immediately due and payable. In such event, we would need to raise funds from alternative sources, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. Alternatively, such a default could require us to sell our assets and otherwise curtail our operations in order to pay our creditors. Such alternative measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

We may have a contingent liability arising out of electronic communications sent to institutional accounts by a previously named underwriter that did not participate as an underwriter in the initial public offering of our common stock.

We understand that, during the week of October 23, 2006, several e-mails authored by an employee of a previously named underwriter for the initial public offering of our common stock were ultimately

45




forwarded by employees of that underwriter to approximately 175 institutional accounts. We were not involved in any way in the preparation or distribution of the e-mail messages by the employees of this previously named underwriter, and we had no knowledge of them until after they were sent. We requested that the previously named underwriter notify the institutional accounts who received these e-mail messages from its employees that the e-mail messages were distributed in error and should be disregarded. In addition, this previously named underwriter did not participate as an underwriter in the initial public offering of our common stock.

The e-mail messages may constitute a prospectus or prospectuses not meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act.” We, the Sponsors and the other underwriters that participated in the initial public offering of our common stock disclaim all responsibility for the contents of these e-mail messages.

We do not believe that the e-mail messages constitute a violation by us of the Securities Act. However, if any or all of these communications were to be held by a court to be a violation by us of the Securities Act, the recipients of the e-mails, if any, who purchased shares of our common stock in the initial public offering might have the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to repurchase those shares. Consequently, we could have a contingent liability arising out of these possible violations of the Securities Act. The magnitude of this liability, if any, is presently impossible to quantify, and would depend, in part, upon the number of shares purchased by the recipients of the e-mails and the trading price of our common stock. If any liability is asserted, we intend to contest the matter vigorously.

Hertz Holdings is a holding company with no operations of its own that depends on its subsidiaries for cash.

The operations of Hertz Holdings are conducted almost entirely through its subsidiaries and its ability to generate cash to meet its debt service obligations, if any, or to pay dividends is highly dependent on the earnings and the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries via dividends or intercompany loans. However, none of the subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings are obligated to make funds available to Hertz Holdings for the payment of dividends. In addition, payments of dividends and interest among the companies in our group may be subject to withholding taxes. Further, the terms of the indentures governing Hertz’s senior notes and senior subordinated notes and the agreements governing Hertz’s senior credit facilities and Hertz’s fleet debt facilities significantly restrict the ability of the subsidiaries of Hertz to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to Hertz Holdings. Furthermore, the subsidiaries of Hertz are permitted under the terms of Hertz’s senior credit facilities and other indebtedness to incur additional indebtedness that may severely restrict or prohibit the making of distributions, the payment of dividends or the making of loans by such subsidiaries to Hertz Holdings. See “—Restrictive covenants in certain of the agreements governing our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial flexibility.” In addition, Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock.

If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it will prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions.

The concentrated holdings of the funds associated with the Sponsors, certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement among the funds and Hertz Holdings and the presence of these funds’ nominees on our board of directors of Hertz Holdings may result in a delay or the deterrence of possible changes in control of Hertz Holdings, which may reduce the market price of our common stock. The interests of the Sponsors may conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The Sponsors control us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future.” Our board of directors has adopted corporate governance guidelines that will, among other things, address potential conflicts between a director’s interests and our interests. In addition, we

46




have adopted a code of business conduct that, among other things, requires our employees to avoid actions or relationships that might conflict or appear to conflict with their job responsibilities or the interests of Hertz Holdings, and to disclose their outside activities, financial interests or relationships that may present a possible conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict to management or corporate counsel. These corporate governance guidelines and code of business ethics will not, by themselves, prohibit transactions with our principal stockholders.

Our share price may decline due to the large number of shares eligible for future sale.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the possibility of such sales, may adversely affect the price of our common stock and impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

There were 320,618,692 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006. Of these shares, the shares of common stock sold in the initial public offering are freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining 232,383,692 shares of common stock outstanding will be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but will be eligible for resale subject to applicable volume, manner of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144 or pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 701 under the Securities Act. In November 2006, we filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to register the shares of common stock to be issued under our stock incentive plans and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of stock options and other equity-based awards granted under these plans will also be freely tradable under the Securities Act unless purchased by our affiliates. A total of 28.5 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under our stock incentive plans.

We, each of the funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors that currently own shares of our common stock, our executive officers and directors have agreed to a “lock-up,” meaning that, subject to certain exceptions, neither we nor they will sell any shares without the prior consent of the representatives of the underwriters before May 14, 2007. Following the expiration of this 180-day lock-up period, 229,500,000 of these shares of our common stock will be eligible for future sale, subject to the applicable volume, manner of sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144. In addition, our existing stockholders have the right under certain circumstances to require that we register their shares for resale. As of December 31, 2006, these registration rights apply to the 229,500,000 shares of our outstanding common stock owned by the investment funds affiliated with or designated by the Sponsors.

Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law may discourage takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might consider in their best interests.

A number of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as well as anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law, may have the effect of delaying, deterring, preventing or rendering more difficult a change in control of Hertz Holdings that our stockholders might consider in their best interests. These provisions include:

·       establishment of a classified board of directors, with staggered terms;

·       granting to the board of directors sole power to set the number of directors and to fill any vacancy on the board of directors, whether such vacancy occurs as a result of an increase in the number of directors or otherwise;

·       limitations on the ability of stockholders to remove directors;

47




·       the ability of our board of directors to designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock without stockholder approval, the terms of which may be determined at the sole discretion of the board of directors;

·       prohibition on stockholders from calling special meetings of stockholders;

·       establishment of advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to the board of directors at stockholder meetings; and

·       prohibiting our stockholders from acting by written consent if investment funds affiliated with or designated by the Sponsors cease to collectively hold a majority of our outstanding common stock.

These provisions may prevent our stockholders from receiving the benefit from any premium to the market price of our common stock offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the future.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may also make it difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions may facilitate management entrenchment that may delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our control, which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

We operate car rental locations at or near airports and in central business districts and suburban areas of major cities in North America (the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg), the Pacific (Australia and New Zealand) and Brazil, as well as retail used car sales locations in the United States and France. We operate equipment rental locations in North America (the United States and Canada) and Europe (France and Spain). We also operate headquarters, sales offices and service facilities in the foregoing countries in support of our car rental and equipment rental operations, as well as small car rental sales offices and service facilities in a select number of other countries in Europe and Asia.

Of such locations, fewer than 10% are owned by us. The remaining locations are leased or operated under concessions from governmental authorities and private entities. Those leases and concession agreements typically require the payment of minimum rents or minimum concession fees and often also require us to pay or reimburse operating expenses; to pay additional rent, or concession fees above guaranteed minimums, based on a percentage of revenues or sales arising at the relevant premises; or to do both. See Note 9 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

We own four major facilities in the vicinity of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at which reservations for our car rental operations are processed, global information systems are serviced and major domestic and international accounting functions are performed. We also have a long-term lease for a reservation and financial center near Dublin, Ireland, at which we have centralized our European car rental reservation and customer relations and accounting functions, and we lease a reservation center in Saraland (Mobile County), Alabama to supplement the capacity of our Oklahoma City car rental reservation center. We maintain our executive offices in an owned facility in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and lease a European headquarters office in Uxbridge, England.

ITEM 3.                 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Fuel—Related Class Actions

We are a defendant in four purported class actions—filed in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Nevada—in which the plaintiffs have put forth alternate theories to challenge the application of our Fuel and Service Charge, or “FSC,” on rentals of cars that are returned with less fuel than when rented.

1.               Texas

On March 15, 2004, Jose M. Gomez, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was commenced in the 214th Judicial District Court of Nueces County, Texas. Gomez purports to be a class action filed alternatively on behalf of all persons who were charged a FSC by us or all Texas residents who were charged a FSC by us. The petition alleged that the FSC is an unlawful penalty and that, therefore, it is void and unenforceable. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and our actual costs, disgorgement of unearned profits, attorneys’ fees and costs. In response to various motions by us, the plaintiff filed two amended petitions which scaled back the putative class from a nationwide class to a class of all Texas residents who were charged a FSC by us or by our

49




Corpus Christi licensee. A new cause of action was also added for conversion for which the plaintiff is seeking punitive damages. After some limited discovery, we filed a motion for summary judgment in December 2004. That motion was denied in January 2005. The parties then engaged in more extensive discovery. In April 2006, the plaintiff further amended his petition by adding a cause of action for fraudulent misrepresentation and, at the plaintiff’s request, a hearing on the plaintiff’s motion for class certification was scheduled for August 2006. In May 2006, the plaintiff filed a fourth amended petition which deleted the cause of action for conversion and the plaintiff also filed a first amended motion for class certification in anticipation of the August 2006 hearing on class certification. After the hearing, the plaintiff filed a fifth amended petition seeking to further refine the putative class as including all Texas residents who were charged a FSC in Texas after February 6, 2000. In October 2006, the judge entered a class certification order which certified a class of all Texas residents who were charged an FSC in Texas after February 6, 2000. We are appealing the order.

2.               Oklahoma

On November 18, 2004, Keith Kochner, individually and on behalf of all similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was commenced in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma. As with the Gomez case, Kochner purports to be a class action, this time on behalf of Oklahoma residents who rented from us and incurred our FSC. The petition alleged that the imposition of the FSC is a breach of contract and amounts to an unconscionable penalty or liquidated damages in violation of Article 2A of the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and our actual costs, disgorgement of unearned profits, attorneys’ fees and costs. In March 2005, the trial court granted our motion to dismiss the action but also granted the plaintiff the right to replead. In April 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended class action petition, newly alleging that our FSC violates the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act and that we have been unjustly enriched, and again alleging that our FSC is unconscionable under Article 2A of the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code. In May 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended class action petition. In October 2005, the court granted our motion to dismiss, but allowed the plaintiff to file a second amended complaint and we then answered the complaint. Discovery has now commenced.

3.               New Mexico

On December 13, 2005, Janelle Johnson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons v. The Hertz Corporation was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of the County of Bernalillo, New Mexico. As with the Gomez and Kochner cases, Johnson purports to be a class action, this time on behalf of all New Mexico residents who rented from us and who were charged a FSC. The complaint alleges that the FSC is unconscionable as a matter of law under pertinent sections of the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code and that, under New Mexico common law, the collection of FSC does not constitute valid liquidated damages, but rather is a void penalty. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and its actual cost. In the alternative, the plaintiff requests that the court exercise its equitable jurisdiction and order us to cease and desist from our unlawful conduct and to modify our lease provisions to conform with applicable provisions of New Mexico statutory and common law. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. We have removed the action to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico and, in lieu of an answer, filed a motion to dismiss. In November 2006, the judge granted our motion to dismiss the liquidated damages claim and the substantive unconscionability claim but did not grant our motion to

50




dismiss the procedural unconscionability claim or the claim for equitable relief. Plaintiff then amended her complaint to replead the unconscionability claim and to add a fraudulent misrepresentation claim. In December 2006, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, in January 2007, the court quickly dismissed the new fraud claim and reaffirmed the dismissal of the substantive unconscionability claim. In February 2007, the plaintiff dismissed the case with prejudice.

4.               Nevada

On January 10, 2007, Marlena Guerra, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. As with the Gomez and Kochner cases, Guerra purports to be a class action on behalf of all individuals and business entities who rented vehicles at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport and were charged a FSC. The complaint alleged that those customers who paid the FSC were fraudulently charged a surcharge required for fuel in violation of Nevada’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiff also alleged the FSC violates the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, or “UCC,” since it is unconscionable and operates as an unlawful liquidated damages provision. Finally, the plaintiff claimed that we breached our own rental agreement—which the plaintiff claims to have been modified so as not to violate Nevada law—by charging the FSC, since such charges violate the UCC and/or the prohibition against fuel surcharges. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, including the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and its actual costs, plus prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. In March 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss.

Other Consumer or Supplier Class Actions

1.               HERC LDW

On August 15, 2006, Davis Landscape, Ltd., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or “HERC,” was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Davis Landscape, Ltd., purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons and business entities who rented equipment from HERC and who paid a Loss Damage Waiver, or “LDW,” charge. The complaint alleges that the LDW is deceptive and unconscionable as a matter of law under pertinent sections of New Jersey law, including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of statutory damages under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages with the return of all LDW charges paid, declaratory relief and an injunction prohibiting HERC from engaging in acts with respect to the LDW charge that violate the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. In October 2006, we filed an answer to the complaint. In November 2006, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding an additional plaintiff, Miguel V. Pro, an individual residing in Texas, and new claims relating to HERC’s charging of an “Environmental Recovery Fee.” Causes of action for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing were also added. In January 2007, we filed an answer to the amended complaint. Discovery has now commenced.

2.               Concession Fee Recoveries

On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan Ph.D., and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Sobel purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz or Enterprise at airports in Nevada and whom Hertz or Enterprise charged airport concession

51




recovery fees. The complaint alleged that the airport concession recovery fees violate certain provisions of Nevada law, including Nevada’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz and Enterprise from quoting or charging any of the fees prohibited by Nevada law. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. In November 2006, the plaintiffs and Enterprise stipulated and agreed that claims against Enterprise would be dismissed without prejudice. In January 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and will defend ourselves vigorously.

In addition, we are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. In the aggregate, we can be expected to expend material sums to defend and settle public liability and property damage actions and claims or to pay judgments resulting from them.

On February 19, 2007, The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this action, we and our co-plaintiff seek damages and injunctive relief based upon allegations that Enterprise and its corporate parent, The Crawford Group, Inc., unlawfully engaged in anticompetitive and unfair and deceptive business practices by claiming to customers of Hertz that once Enterprise obtains a patent it has applied for relating to its insurance replacement reservation system, Hertz will be prevented from using the co-plaintiff’s EDiCAR system, which Hertz currently uses in its insurance replacement business. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Enterprise’s threats are improper because the Enterprise patent, once issued, should be invalid and unenforceable. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Claims that the software products and information systems that we rely on are infringing on the intellectual property rights of others could increase our expenses or inhibit us from offering certain services, which could adversely affect our results of operations.”

In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows but it could be material in the period in which it is recorded.

CURRENT DIVIDEND POLICY

We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. The agreements governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to pay future dividends.

PRE-IPO DIVIDENDS

On June 30, 2006, we paid special dividends of $4.32 per share to the holders of our common stock, totaling approximately $999.2 million. On November 21, 2006, we paid a special cash dividend to holders of record of our common stock immediately prior to the IPO in an amount of $1.12 per share, or approximately $260.3 million in the aggregate.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM REGISTERED SECURITIES

On November 15, 2006, we registered 88,235,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate offering price of $1,323.5 million in our initial public offering. On November 21, 2006 we closed the sale of our common stock at a price of $15.00 per share in an underwritten initial public offering. This offering was effected pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-135782), which the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective on November 15, 2006. Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as managing underwriters in the offering.

·       approximately $7.0 million was used in connection with offering expenses, printing fees, listing fees, filing fees, accounting fees and legal fees;

·       approximately $1,000.0 million was used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility and to pay related fees and expenses; and

·       approximately $260.3 million was used to pay special cash dividends of $1.12 per share on November 21, 2006 to stockholders of record of Hertz Holdings immediately prior to the initial public offering.

RECENT PERFORMANCE

The following graph compares the cumulative total stockholder return on Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Common Stock with the Russell 1000 Index and the Hemscott Industry Group 761 - Rental & Leasing Services. The Russell 1000 Index is included because it is comprised of the 1,000 largest publicly traded issuers and has a median total market capitalization of approximately $5 billion which is similar to our total market capitalization. The Hemscott Industry Group 761 - Rental & Leasing Services is a published, market capitalization-weighted index representing 24 stocks of companies that rent or lease various durable goods to the commercial and consumer market including cars and trucks, medical and industrial equipment, appliances, tools and other miscellaneous goods, including Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., ABG, DTG and URI.

The results are based on an assumed $100 invested on November 15, 2006, at the market close, through December 31, 2006.

ITEM 7.                 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition covers periods prior to the consummation of the Transactions. Accordingly, the discussion and analysis of historical periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2006 does not reflect the significant impact that the Transactions had on us, including significantly increased leverage and liquidity requirements. The statements in the discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A—Risk Factors.” The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe to be relevant to an understanding of our consolidated financial condition and results of operation. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A—Risk Factors,” “Item 6—Selected Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Overview

We are engaged principally in the business of renting cars and renting equipment.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

·       Car rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated car rental operations, including charges to customers for the reimbursement of costs incurred relating to airport concession fees and vehicle license fees, the fueling of vehicles and the sale of loss or collision damage waivers, liability insurance coverage and other products);

·       Equipment rental revenues (revenues from all company-operated equipment rental operations, including amounts charged to customers for the fueling and delivery of equipment and sale of loss damage waivers); and

·       Other revenues (fees and certain cost reimbursements from our licensees and revenues from our car leasing operations and our third-party claim management services).

Our equipment rental business also derives revenues from the sale of new equipment and consumables.

Our expenses primarily consist of:

·       Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits; commissions and concession fees paid to airport authorities, travel agents and others; facility, self-insurance and reservations costs; the cost of new equipment and consumables purchased for resale; and other costs relating to the operation and rental of revenue earning equipment, such as damage, maintenance and fuel costs);

·       Depreciation expense relating to revenue earning equipment (including net gains or losses on the disposal of such equipment). Revenue earning equipment includes cars and equipment;

·       Selling, general and administrative expenses (including advertising); and

·       Interest expense, net of interest income.

The car and equipment rental industries are significantly influenced by general economic conditions. The car rental industry is also significantly influenced by developments in the travel industry, and,

60




particularly, in airline passenger traffic. Our profitability is primarily a function of the volume and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of cars and equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price of cars and equipment or interest rates can also have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. In the United States, increases of approximately 17% in monthly per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year program cars began to adversely affect our results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2005, as those cars began to enter our fleet. On a comparable basis, we expect 2007 model year program vehicle depreciation costs to rise approximately 20% and per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year U.S. risk cars to decline slightly. As a consequence of those changes in per-car costs, as well as the larger proportion of our U.S. fleet we expect to purchase as risk cars and other actions we expect to take to mitigate program car cost increases, we expect our net per-car depreciation costs for 2007 model year cars in the United States will increase by approximately 5% from our net per-car depreciation costs for 2006 model year U.S. cars. We began to experience the impact of those cost changes and mitigation actions in the fourth quarter of 2006, as substantial numbers of 2007 model year cars began to enter our U.S. rental fleet. Our business requires significant expenditures for cars and equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures.

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses, with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. We have the ability to dynamically manage fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure, to meet market demand. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. As business demand declines, fleet and staff are decreased accordingly. A number of our other major operating costs, including airport concession fees, commissions and vehicle liability expenses, are directly related to revenues or transaction volumes. In addition, our management expects to utilize enhanced process improvements, including efficiency initiatives and use of our information systems, to help manage our variable costs. Approximately two-thirds of our typical annual operating costs represent variable costs, while the remaining one-third are fixed or semi-fixed. We also maintain a flexible workforce, with a significant number of part time and seasonal workers. However, certain operating expenses, including minimum concession fees, rent, insurance, and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand.

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations, that we believe are necessary and appropriate. When we make adjustments to our workforce and operations, we may incur incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increasing our operating efficiency and reducing the costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

On January 5, 2007, we announced the first in a series of initiatives to further improve our competitiveness through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 200 employees primarily at our corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey and our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City. These reductions are expected to result in annualized savings of up to $15.8 million. We expect to incur an estimated $3.3 million to $3.8 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2007 for severance and related costs arising from these reductions.

On February 28, 2007, we announced the second initiative to further improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 1,350 employees primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. These

61




reductions are expected to result in annualized savings of up to $125.0 million. We expect to incur an estimated $9.0 million to $11.0 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2007 for severance and related costs arising from these reductions.

Further cost reduction initiatives are in process. We currently anticipate incurring future charges to earnings in connection with those initiatives; however, we have not yet developed detailed estimates of these expenses.

In the United States, industry revenues from airport rentals only in 2004 returned to levels seen before the 2001 recession and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. For the year ended December 31, 2006, based on publicly available information, we believe some U.S. car rental companies experienced transaction day growth and pricing increases compared to comparable prior periods. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced a less than one percentage point volume decline versus the prior period in the U.S., while pricing was up over three percentage points. The volume decline was the result of a reduction in fleet volume given significant fleet cost increases, higher leisure pricing for the period from March through May 2006 and the difficult comparison in the quarter ending December 31, 2006 due to the extraordinarily high volumes of post-hurricane rentals in the Gulf Coast and Florida areas in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced low to mid single digit transaction day growth in our European operations and our car rental pricing was above the level of our pricing during the year ended December 31, 2005.

In the three years ended December 31, 2006, we increased the number of our off-airport rental locations in the United States by approximately 32% to approximately 1,380 locations. Revenues from our U.S. off-airport operations grew during the same period, representing $885.2 million, $843.7 million, $697.4 and $576.9 million of our total car rental revenues in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2007 and subsequent years our strategy may include selected openings of new off-airport locations, the disciplined evaluation of existing locations and the pursuit of same-store sales growth. When we open a new off-airport location, we incur a number of costs, including those relating to site selection, lease negotiation, recruitment of employees, selection and development of managers, initial sales activities and integration of our systems with those of the companies who will reimburse the location’s replacement renters for their rentals. A new off-airport location, once opened, takes time to generate its full potential revenues, and as a result revenues at new locations do not initially cover their start-up costs and often do not, for some time, cover the costs of their ongoing operation.

From 2001 to 2003, the equipment rental industry experienced downward pricing, measured by the rental rates charged by rental companies. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, we believe industry pricing, measured in the same way, improved in the United States and Canada and only started to improve towards the end of 2005 in France and Spain. HERC also experienced higher equipment rental volumes worldwide for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. HERC slightly contracted its network of equipment rental locations during the 2001 to 2003 downturn in construction activities. HERC added five new locations in the United States in 2004 and six new locations in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2006, HERC added ten new U.S. locations and two new Canadian locations. HERC expects to add approximately 15 to 20 additional new locations in the United States and three additional locations in Canada in 2007. In its U.S. expansion, we expect HERC will incur non-fleet start-up costs of approximately $0.6 million per location and additional fleet acquisition costs over an initial twelve-month period of approximately $5.4 million per location.

Property damage and business interruption from the 2005 hurricanes in Florida and other Gulf Coast states did not have a material effect on our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005.

62




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements and changes in these judgments and estimates may impact our future results of operations and financial condition. For additional discussion of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Revenue Earning Equipment

Our principal assets are revenue earning equipment, which represented approximately 53% of our total assets as of December 31, 2006. Revenue earning equipment consists of vehicles utilized in our car rental operations and equipment utilized in our equipment rental operations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, 64% of the vehicles purchased for our U.S. and international car rental fleet were subject to repurchase by automobile manufacturers under contractual repurchase and guaranteed depreciation programs, subject to certain manufacturers’ car condition and mileage requirements, at a specific price during a specified time period. These programs limit our residual risk with respect to vehicles purchased under the programs. For all other vehicles, as well as equipment acquired by our equipment rental business, we use historical experience and monitor market conditions to set depreciation rates. When revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period that we will hold the asset. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period, with the objective of minimizing gain or loss on the disposition of the revenue earning equipment. Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management’s routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Upon disposal of the revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value. As market conditions change, we adjust our depreciation rates prospectively, over the remaining holding period, to reflect these changes in market conditions. See Note 7 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Public Liability and Property Damage

The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results.

Pensions

Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return

63




on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or “SFAS” No. 158, or “SFAS No. 158,” “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” SFAS No. 158 requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension plans, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 were effective as of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The effect of applying SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands of dollars):

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We review goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable, and also review goodwill annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Our annual review is conducted in the second quarter of each year. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify any potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. If a potential impairment is identified, the second step is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the impairment loss. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. A significant decline in the projected cash flows used to determine fair value could result in a goodwill impairment charge.

The Acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition date. Consequently, as a result of the Acquisition, we have recognized significant intangible assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we reevaluate the estimated useful lives of our intangible assets annually or as circumstances change. Those intangible assets considered to have indefinite useful lives are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. In addition, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangible assets might not be recoverable, we will perform an impairment review. We estimate the fair value of our intangible assets using a discounted cash flow methodology. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

64




Our estimates are based upon historical trends, management’s knowledge and experience and overall economic factors. While we believe our estimates are reasonable, different assumptions regarding items such as future cash flows and volatility in the markets we serve could affect our evaluations and result in an impairment charge to the carrying amount of our goodwill and our intangible assets.

See Note 2 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

During 2006, a third party was engaged to perform a comprehensive analysis of our deferred taxes in order to remediate a significant deficiency noted during the 2005 testing of internal controls over financial reporting related to income taxes. The domestic deferred tax analysis was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2006 and resulted in a $159.4 million decrease to our deferred tax liability and a $156.3 million decrease to our goodwill. We have determined that these adjustments were not material to our current or previously issued consolidated financial statements.

See Note 8 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the “FASB,” revised its SFAS, No. 123, with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” The revised statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We have accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. As disclosed in Note 6 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” we estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected term, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with the Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan is pushed down from Hertz Holdings and recorded on the books at the Hertz level.

As described under “—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan,” Hertz Holdings granted or modified options to purchase shares of its common stock and sold shares of its common stock to certain of its employees in May, June and August of 2006. Our management and the compensation committee of our Board of Directors determined that the fair value per share of our common stock was $10.00 ($4.56 after giving effect to special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006) as of May 15, 2006, $12.00 per share ($6.56 after giving effect to special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006) as of June 30, 2006 and $6.56 as of August 15, 2006 (after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Determining the fair value of our common stock as of each of these dates required making subjective judgments. Hertz engaged an independent valuation specialist to perform a valuation of the common stock of Hertz Holdings as of

65




May 15, 2006, June 30, 2006 and August 15, 2006 to assist management and the compensation committee of our Board of Directors in connection with the determination of the fair market value of our common stock as of these dates.

Several events that occurred over the period from late August through September 2006, as well as the proximity of the then-proposed initial public offering of our common stock, led us to reconsider the method used for estimating the fair value of our common stock under SFAS No. 123R as of August 15, 2006, and we have subsequently determined that the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006 should be $16.37 per share, rather than $7.68 ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) as had originally been determined at that time. In determining the fair value per share of our common stock as of the August 15, 2006 date, we placed significantly greater weight on these additional events than on the valuation report prepared by the independent valuation specialist as of August 15, 2006.

The events that led us to reconsider the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006, in addition to the proximity of the offering, include the emergence of an actively traded car rental industry participant comparable in size to us, ABG, and the related increase in analyst coverage of the car rental industry, with the associated emergence of coverage that includes fully developed, forward-looking income statement, balance sheet and revenue models and price targets and multiples for industry participants that utilize a more standardized valuation metric that utilizes measures similar to what Hertz Holdings refers to as “Corporate EBITDA.” Before ABG’s emergence as a stand-alone public company and the industry research that has been associated with it, there was limited forward-looking industry trend information or valuation information available to provide forward-looking valuation benchmarks for companies in the car rental industry. This situation changed in August and September 2006 as analysts from major investment banking firms developed detailed projections models and provided their views of industry trends. Also in September 2006, analysts from two major investment banking firms each published their views with respect to trends in the car rental industry and of the appropriate valuation for ABG, including forward-looking price targets for ABG’s stock. Each of these factors was also considered important when determining the initial public offering price range for our common stock.

We determined the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006 for financial reporting purposes by applying a marketability discount, reflecting the likelihood and timing of the successful completion of the then-proposed initial public offering of our common stock as of August 15, 2006, to the assumed initial public offering price range of $16.00 or $18.00 per share.

The options granted on August 15, 2006 were issued at strike prices of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006), $10.68 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) and $15.68 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006), and we will record compensation expense totaling $19.0 million based on a fair value per share of $16.37 that will be amortized over the service period that began on the grant date. We also recognized compensation expense of $13.2 million associated with the difference between the price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) paid for the stock issued on August 15, 2006 and the reassessed fair value per share of $16.37 in the third quarter of 2006.

Because the shares sold in May 2006 were issued at a price at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the issuances, we were not required to recognize compensation expense associated with these issuances. The compensation expense for the stock options we issued in May and June 2006 was initially determined to be $72.9 million, which we will recognize over the service period that began on the grant dates. As a result of a modification of these options made in June 2006 in connection with the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006, an additional $14.1 million of compensation expense will also be recognized over the remaining service period of the

66




options. In June 2006 we sold shares to Craig R. Koch, our former Chief Executive Officer, for less than their fair value as determined as of the date of issuance, and recognized compensation expense of $0.2 million as a result. See “—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan.”

If the fair value of our common stock exceeded the May 2006 option strike price by $1.00, we would have had to record additional compensation expense of $10.8 million in the aggregate over the service period of those options beginning in the second quarter of 2006, as well as a charge of $1.8 million in the aggregate as compensation expense associated with the May 2006 stock sales, the full amount of which would have been required to be recorded in the second quarter of 2006. If the fair value of our common stock had been $1.00 higher at the time of the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006, we would have had to recognize additional expense, related to the modification of the exercise price of the options, of $1.5 million, to be amortized over the service period of those options.

Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of Hertz Holdings on November 21, 2006, Hertz Holdings declared a special cash dividend, to be paid promptly following the completion of the offering. In connection with the special cash dividend, Hertz Holdings’ outstanding stock options were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law and the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The Board approved this modification on October 12, 2006. Beginning on that date, the cost of the modification was recognized ratably over the remainder of the requisite service period for each grant. Because the modification was effective before the amount of the dividend was known, the cost of the modification reflected the assumption that the dividend would be funded by the proceeds to Hertz Holdings from the sale of the common stock after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The assumed proceeds from the sale of the common stock were determined by assuming an offering price equivalent to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of the initial public offering prospectus (or $17.00 per share) and resulted in an estimated dividend of $1.83 per share. The actual dividend declared was $1.12 per share. We will recognize incremental compensation cost of $14.2 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006 over the remainder of the five-year requisite service period. This charge is based on the estimated dividend, rather than the actual dividend paid.

Results of Operations

In the following discussion, comparisons are made between the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (combined) and December 31, 2005 (combined) and December 31, 2004, notwithstanding the presentation in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005. A split presentation of an annual period is required under GAAP when a change in accounting basis occurs. Consequently, the combined presentation for 2005 is not a recognized presentation under GAAP. Accounting for an acquisition requires that the historical carrying values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed be adjusted to fair value. A resulting higher cost basis associated with the allocation of the purchase price impacts post-acquisition period results, which impacts period-to-period comparisons. We believe a discussion of the separate periods presented for the year ended December 31, 2005 in our consolidated statements of operations may impede understanding of our operating performance. The impact of the Acquisition on the 11-day Successor period ended December 31, 2005 does not materially affect the comparison of the annual periods and, accordingly, we have prepared the discussion of our results of operations by comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 (combined) with the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2004 without regard to the differentiation between Predecessor and Successor results of operations for the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the Successor period ended December 31, 2005.

(a)            Transaction days represents the total number of days that vehicles were on rent in a given period.

(b)           Car rental rate revenue consists of all revenue, net of discounts, associated with the rental of cars including charges for optional insurance products, but excluding revenue derived from fueling and concession and other expense pass-throughs, NeverLost units and certain ancillary revenue. Rental rate revenue per transaction day is calculated as total rental rate revenue, divided by the total number of transaction days, with all periods adjusted to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends. This statistic is important to management as it represents the best measurement of the changes in underlying pricing in the car rental business and encompasses the elements in car rental pricing that management has the ability to control.

(d)           Same store revenue growth represents the change in the current period total same store revenue over the prior period total same store revenue as a percentage of the prior period. The same store revenue amounts are adjusted in all periods to eliminate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency. Our management believes eliminating the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency is appropriate so as not to affect the comparability of underlying trends.

(e)            We present EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in this report to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and, in the case of Corporate EBITDA, information utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants under our senior credit facilities. EBITDA, as used in this report, is defined as consolidated net income before net interest expense, consolidated income taxes and consolidated depreciation and amortization. Corporate EBITDA differs from the term “EBITDA” as it is commonly used. Corporate EBITDA, as used in this report, means “EBITDA” as that term is defined under our senior credit facilities, which is generally consolidated net income before net interest expense (other than interest expense relating to certain car rental fleet financing), consolidated income taxes, consolidated depreciation (other than depreciation related to the car rental fleet) and amortization and before certain other items, in each case as more fully defined in the agreements governing our senior credit facilities. The other items excluded in this calculation include, but are not limited to: non-cash expenses and charges; extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses; gains or losses associated with the sale or writedown of assets not in the ordinary course of business; certain management fees paid to the Sponsors; and earnings to the extent of cash dividends or distributions paid from non-controlled affiliates. Further, the covenants in our senior credit facilities are calculated using Corporate EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters as a whole. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or for any complete fiscal year.

Management uses EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA as performance and cash flow metrics for internal monitoring and planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and monthly operating reviews, as well as to facilitate analysis of investment decisions. In addition, both metrics are important to allow us to evaluate profitability and make performance trend comparisons between us and our competitors. Further, we believe EBITDA and Corporate

71




EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industries.

EBITDA is also used by management and investors to evaluate our operating performance exclusive of financing costs and depreciation policies. Further, because we have two business segments that are financed differently and have different underlying depreciation characteristics, EBITDA enables investors to isolate the effects on profitability of operating metrics such as revenue, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition to its use to monitor performance trends, EBITDA provides a comparative metric to management and investors that is consistent across companies with different capital structures and depreciation policies. This enables management and investors to compare our performance on a consolidated basis and on a segment basis to that of our peers. In addition, our management uses consolidated EBITDA as a proxy for cash flow available to finance fleet expenditures and the costs of our capital structure on a day-to-day basis so that we can more easily monitor our cash flows when a full statement of cash flows is not available.

Corporate EBITDA also serves as an important measure of our performance. Corporate EBITDA for our car rental segment enables us to assess our operating performance inclusive of fleet management performance, depreciation assumptions and the cost of financing our fleet. In addition, Corporate EBITDA for our car rental segment allows us to compare our performance, inclusive of fleet mix and financing decisions, to the performance of our competitors. Since most of our competitors utilize asset-backed fleet debt to finance fleet acquisitions, this measure is relevant for evaluating our operating efficiency inclusive of our fleet acquisition and utilization. For our equipment rental segment, Corporate EBITDA provides an appropriate measure of performance because the investment in our equipment fleet is longer-term in nature than for our car rental segment and, therefore, Corporate EBITDA allows management to assess operating performance exclusive of interim changes in depreciation assumptions. Further, unlike our car rental segment, our equipment rental fleet is not financed through separate securitization-based fleet financing facilities, but rather through our corporate debt. Corporate EBITDA for our equipment rental segment is a key measure used to make investment decisions because it enables us to evaluate return on investments. For both segments, Corporate EBITDA provides a relevant profitability metric for use in comparison of our performance against our public peers, many of whom publicly disclose a comparable metric. In addition, we believe that investors, analysts and rating agencies consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make capital expenditures. Several of our material debt covenants are based on financial ratios utilizing Corporate EBITDA and non-compliance with those covenants could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under those agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When evaluating our operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA in isolation of, or as a substitute for, measures of our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA may have material limitations as performance measures because they exclude items that are necessary elements of our costs and operations. Because other companies may calculate EBITDA and Corporate EBITDA differently than we do, EBITDA may not be, and Corporate EBITDA as presented in this filing is not, comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The calculation of Pro forma Corporate EBITDA in the table below reflects historical financial data except for car rental fleet interest and non-cash amortization of debt costs for the Predecessor periods presented which have been calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to our new

72




capital structure as if the fleet financings associated with the Transactions had occurred on January 1, 2005. This calculation may not be representative of the calculation of Corporate EBITDA under our senior credit facilities for any period prior to December 31, 2006 because consolidated interest expense (as defined in the agreements governing our senior credit facilities), a component of Corporate EBITDA, is calculated on a transitional basis until such date. For periods prior to December 31, 2006, Corporate EBITDA under this transitional formula would have been higher than the amount shown in the table below. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of this amount would be misleading to investors and have instead provided what we believe to be a more meaningful calculation of Corporate EBITDA.

Borrowings under our senior credit facilities are a key source of our liquidity. Our ability to borrow under these senior credit facilities depends upon, among other things, the maintenance of a sufficient borrowing base and compliance with the financial ratio covenants based on Corporate EBITDA set forth in the credit agreements for our senior credit facilities. Our senior term loan facility requires us to maintain a specified consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest expense coverage ratio based on Corporate EBITDA, while our senior asset-based loan facility requires that a specified consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio be maintained for periods during which there is less than $200 million of available borrowing capacity under the senior asset-based loan facility. These financial covenants became applicable to us beginning September 30, 2006, reflecting the four quarter period ending thereon. Failure to comply with these financial ratio covenants would result in a default under the credit agreements for our senior credit facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from the lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the senior credit facilities. As of December 31, 2006, we performed the calculations associated with the above noted financial covenants and determined that we are in compliance with such covenants.

As of December 31, 2006, Hertz had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $1,986.3 million pursuant to its senior term loan facility and no borrowings outstanding under its senior asset-based loan facility. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Hertz is required under the senior term loan facility to have a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 6.25:1 and a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1. In addition, under its senior asset-based loan facility, if there is less than $200 million of available borrowing capacity under that facility as of December 31, 2006, Hertz is required to have a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 6.25:1 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the year then ended. Under the senior term loan facility, for the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a consolidated leverage ratio of approximately 3.5:1 and a consolidated interest expense coverage ratio of approximately 3.2:1. Since we have maintained sufficient borrowing capacity under our senior asset-based loan facility as of December 31, 2006, and expect to maintain such capacity in the future, the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was not deemed relevant for presentation. For further information on the terms of Hertz’s senior credit facilities, see Note 3 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” We have a significant amount of debt. For a discussion of the risks associated with our significant leverage, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Substantial Indebtedness.”

For purposes of consistency, we have revised our calculation of Corporate EBITDA for 2005 and 2006 so that the identified extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses are consistent with those used in the calculations of certain other non-GAAP measures. The following table reconciles historical net income (loss) (i) on an actual basis to Corporate EBITDA for the Successor year ended December 31, 2006, (ii) on a pro forma basis, as it relates to car rental fleet interest and non-cash amortization of debt costs, to Corporate EBITDA for the combined year ended December 31, 2005, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 and the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and (iii) to EBITDA for the Predecessor year ended December 31, 2004 (in millions of dollars):

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2005 (Combined)

Revenues

Total revenues of $8,058.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 7.9% from $7,469.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Revenues from our car rental operations of $6,273.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $323.7 million, or 5.4%, from $5,949.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily the result of a 1.1% increase in car rental volume worldwide, a 2.7% increase in pricing worldwide, increases in airport concession recovery and refueling fees, license and tax reimbursement fees and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $36.4 million.

Revenues from our equipment rental operations of $1,672.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $257.2 million, or 18.2%, from $1,414.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher rental volume and improved pricing in the United States and Canada and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $18.9 million.

Revenues from all other sources of $112.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $8.3 million, or 7.9%, from $104.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to the increase in car rental licensee revenue and the effects of foreign currency translation.

Expenses

Total expenses of $7,857.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 13.4% from $6,927.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and total expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 97.5% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with 92.7% for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Direct operating expenses of $4,476.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by $286.7 million, or 6.8%, from $4,189.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was the result of increases in personnel related expenses, fleet related expenses and other direct operating expenses.

Personnel related expenses increased $21.7 million, or 1.4%. The increase primarily related to an increase in wages and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $8.3 million, partly offset by a decrease in benefits due to a decrease in the number of employees.

Fleet related expenses increased $69.2 million, or 7.1%. The majority of the increase primarily related to the increase in worldwide rental volume and included increases in gasoline costs of $28.9 million, which also reflects the higher price of gasoline, vehicle damage and maintenance expense of $25.1 million, vehicle excise tax of $5.4 million, self-insurance expense of $4.1 million and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $8.7 million.

Other direct operating expenses increased $195.8 million, or 12.0%. The majority of the increase related to the increase in worldwide rental volume and included increases in concession fees in our car rental operations of $35.2 million, commission fees of $21.7 million, facility expenses of $21.4 million, customer service costs of $11.5 million and guaranteed charge card fees of $10.7 million. Additionally, there were increases in the amortization of other intangible assets of $59.4 million, the cost of equipment and supplies sold of $24.7 million and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $13.1 million.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our car rental operations of $1,479.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 7.1% from $1,381.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation costs for 2006 and 2007 model year program cars, lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of

77




used cars in the United States and a $9.0 million increase in depreciation for our international car rental operations due to increases in depreciation rates made during 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of cars. This increase was partly offset by a $3.7 million net reduction in depreciation in our domestic car rental operations resulting from a decrease in depreciation rates effective January 1, 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of cars. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our equipment rental operations of $277.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 27.2% from $218.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 due an increase in the quantity of equipment operated and lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used equipment in the United States. This increase was partly offset by a $15.3 million and $3.1 million net reduction in depreciation for our United States and Canadian operations combined and our French equipment rental operations, respectively, resulting from decreases in depreciation rates during 2006 to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $723.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 13.4% from $638.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in administrative and sales promotion expenses. The increase in administrative expenses was primarily the result of an increase in consulting and legal fees of $23.6 million, foreign currency transaction losses of $22.1 million associated with the Euro-denominated debt and non-cash stock purchase and stock option compensation charges of $16.7 million. The increase in sales promotion expenses was primarily the result of increased sales commissions, salaries and incentive compensation.

Interest expense, net of interest income, of $900.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by 80.1% from $500.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to increases in the weighted average interest rate and the weighted average debt outstanding. The increase was partly offset by an increase in interest income.

The provision for taxes on income of $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 62.0% from $179.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes and minority interest for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 and a $31.3 million provision relating to the repatriation of foreign earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was partly offset by the establishment of valuation allowances of $9.8 million relating to the realization of deferred tax assets in certain European countries and the establishment of certain federal and state contingencies for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the reversal of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards of $35.0 million and favorable foreign tax adjustments of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 was 33.9% as compared to 33.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005. See Note 8 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Minority interest of $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $4.1 million from $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was due to an increase in our majority-owned subsidiary Navigation Solutions, L.L.C.’s, or “Navigation Solutions’,” net income in the year ended December 31, 2006. See Note 4 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Net Income

We had net income of $115.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of $234.1 million, or 66.9%, from $350.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease

78




in net income was primarily due to the 80.1% increase in interest expense over the year ended December 31, 2005, as well as the net effect of other contributing factors noted above. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only foreign revenues but also most foreign expenses were incurred in local currencies.

Effects of Acquisition

Increased interest expense resulting from our higher debt levels and increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the revaluation of our tangible assets and the recognition of certain identified intangible assets, all in connection with the Acquisition, had a significant adverse impact on full year 2006 income before income taxes and minority interest.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 (Combined) with Year Ended December 31, 2004

Revenues

Total revenues of $7,469.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 11.9% from $6,676.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Revenues from our car rental operations of $5,949.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $519.1 million, or 9.6%, from $5,430.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of a 4.1% increase in car rental volume worldwide, a 0.2% increase in pricing worldwide, an increase in airport concession recovery and refueling fees and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $23.1 million.

Revenues from our equipment rental operations of $1,414.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $252.9 million, or 21.8%, from $1,162.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher rental volume and improved pricing in the United States and Canada and the effects of foreign currency translation of approximately $12.3 million.

Revenues from all other sources of $104.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $21.2 million, or 25.5%, from $83.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to the increase in car rental licensee revenue and the effects of foreign currency translation.

Expenses

Total expenses of $6,927.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 12.2% from $6,173.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, principally due to the increase in revenues. Total expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 92.7% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with 92.5% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

79




Direct operating expenses of $4,189.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $454.9 million (inclusive of $22.1 million related to the effects of foreign currency translation), or 12.2%, from $3,734.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was the result of increases in personnel related expenses, fleet related expenses and other direct operating expenses.

Personnel related expenses increased $139.8 million, or 9.7%. The increase primarily related to an increase in the number of employees and higher health care costs.

Fleet related expenses increased $94.9 million, or 10.8%. The majority of the increase primarily related to the increase in worldwide rental volume and included increases in gasoline costs of $49.3 million, which also reflects the higher price of gasoline, self-insurance of $16.4 million and vehicle damage and maintenance expense of $9.1 million.

Other direct operating expenses increased $220.3 million, or 15.7%. The majority of the increase primarily related to the increase in worldwide rental volume and included increases in commission fees of $51.0 million, facility expenses of $49.1 million (which includes a gain in 2004 of $7.5 million from the condemnation of a car rental and support facility in Florida), concession fees in our car rental operations of $25.9 million, customer service costs of $17.5 million and guaranteed charge card fees of $10.9 million. Additionally, there were increases in the cost of equipment sold of $18.7 million, equipment rental cost of $10.0 million and the receipt in 2004 of $7.0 million for claims made by us on our insurance policies for business interruption losses resulting from the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our car rental operations of $1,381.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 12.4% from $1,228.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the average number of vehicles worldwide, higher cost of vehicles in the U.S., lower net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of vehicles and the effects of foreign currency translation. This increase was partly offset by a $21.8 million net reduction in depreciation for our domestic car rental operations resulting from a decrease in depreciation rates to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of vehicles. Depreciation of revenue earning equipment for our equipment rental operations of $218.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 decreased by 7.0% from $234.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to higher net proceeds received in excess of book value on the disposal of used equipment in the United States, and a $13.2 million net reduction in depreciation resulting from the effects of changes in depreciation rates of equipment in the U.S. and Canada, partly offset by an increase in the quantity of equipment operated.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $638.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 8.0% from $591.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to increases in administrative and sales promotion expenses and the effects of foreign currency translation. The increases in administrative and sales promotion expenses were primarily due to increases in salaries, commissions and benefits relating to the improvement in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Interest expense, net of interest income, of $500.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 30.0% from $384.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to increases in the weighted average debt outstanding, the weighted average interest rate and $35.6 million of interest expense on the $1,185.0 million Intercompany Note payable to Ford Holdings LLC relating to a dividend declared and paid to Ford Holdings LLC on June 10, 2005. The increase was partly offset by an increase in interest income.

The provision for taxes on income of $179.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 33.8% from $133.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes and minority interest and a $31.3 million provision relating to the

80




repatriation of foreign earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005, and net favorable tax adjustments in 2004 totaling $46.6 million, principally relating to the evaluation of certain federal and foreign tax accruals and foreign tax credits. The increase was partly offset by the reversal of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards of $35.0 million and favorable foreign tax adjustments of $5.3 million. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 33.1% as compared to 26.6% for the year ended December 31, 2004. See Notes 1 and 8 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Minority interest of $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $9.4 million from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase was due to only two quarters of earnings being included in 2004 as we increased our ownership interest in Navigation Solutions beginning in July 2004. See Note 4 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Net Income

We had net income of $350.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, representing a decrease of $15.5 million, or 4.2%, from $365.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the one-time $31.3 million tax provision relating to the repatriation of foreign earnings, as well as the net effect of other contributing factors noted above. The impact of changes in exchange rates on net income was mitigated by the fact that not only foreign revenues but also most foreign expenses were incurred in local currencies.

Effects of Acquisition

The loss for the Successor period ended December 31, 2005 relates to lower rental demand due to the seasonality of the business and costs associated with the Transactions. Increased interest expense resulting from our higher debt levels and increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the revaluation of our assets and the recognition of certain identified intangible assets, all in connection with the Acquisition, had a significant adverse impact on full year 2006 income before income taxes and minority interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2006, we had cash and equivalents of $674.5 million, a decrease of $169.4 million from December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, we had $552.5 million of restricted cash to be used for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness primarily under our ABS Program and to satisfy certain of our self-insurance reserve requirements.

Our domestic and foreign operations are funded by cash provided by operating activities and by extensive financing arrangements maintained by us in the United States, Europe, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Brazil. Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,614.6 million, an increase of $1,156.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in year-over-year changes in our receivables and an increase in year-over-year changes in our deferred taxes, partly offset by a decrease in accrued taxes.

Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of revenue earning equipment, which consists of cars and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2,287.9 million, a decrease of $4,205.0 million from the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily due to the purchase of predecessor company stock in 2005 and a decrease in revenue earning equipment expenditures, partly offset by a decrease in proceeds from the disposal of revenue earning equipment and proceeds from the sale of short-term

81




investments in 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our expenditures for revenue earning equipment were $11,420.9 million, partially offset by proceeds from the disposal of such equipment of $9,555.0 million. These assets are purchased by us in accordance with the terms of programs negotiated with the car and equipment manufacturers.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, our capital expenditures for property and non-revenue earning equipment were $223.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced a decreased level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and non-revenue earning equipment compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the change in fleet mix, a decrease in the percentage of program cars purchased and an increase in the percentage of lower cost non-program cars purchased for the year ended December 31, 2006. For 2007, we expect the level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment to be lower than 2006 and the level of expenditures for property and non-revenue earning equipment to be similar to that of 2006. See “—Capital Expenditures” below.

Our car rental and equipment rental operations are seasonal businesses with decreased levels of business in the winter months and heightened activity during the spring and summer. This is particularly true of our airport car rental operations and our equipment rental operations. To accommodate increased demand, we maintain a larger fleet by holding vehicles and equipment and purchasing additional fleet which increases our financing requirements in the second and third quarters of the year. These seasonal financing needs are funded by increasing the utilization of our bank credit facilities and the variable funding notes portion of our U.S. Fleet Debt Facilities and, in past years, our commercial paper program. As business demand moderates during the winter, we reduce our fleet accordingly and dispose of vehicles and equipment. The disposal proceeds are used to reduce debt.

We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred in connection with the Transactions and from the funding of our costs of operations, working capital and capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $12,276.2 million of total indebtedness outstanding. Cash paid for interest during the year ended December 31, 2006, was $681.5 million, net of amounts capitalized.

We rely significantly on asset-backed financing to purchase cars for our domestic and international car rental fleets. For further information concerning our asset-backed financing programs, see “—U.S. Fleet Debt” and “—International Fleet Debt” below. For a discussion of risks related to our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our reliance on asset-backed financing to purchase cars subjects us to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control.”

Also, substantially all of our revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the Senior ABL Facility, the ABS Program, the International Fleet Debt Facilities or the fleet financing facility relating to our car rental fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, all as described in more detail below. Substantially all our other assets in the United States are also subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities, and substantially all of our other assets outside the United States are (with certain limited exceptions) subject to liens in favor of our lenders under the International Fleet Debt Facilities or (in the case of our Canadian HERC business) the Senior ABL Facility. None of such assets will be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

We believe that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under the Senior Credit Facilities, asset-backed financing and other available financing arrangements will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs

82




and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors.”

Financing

Senior Credit Facilities

Senior Term Facility.   In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz entered into a credit agreement with respect to its Senior Term Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time. The facility consisted of a $2,000.0 million secured term loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, which included a delayed draw facility of $293.0 million. In addition, there is a pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. On the Closing Date, Hertz utilized $1,707.0 million of the Senior Term Facility and $182.2 million in letters of credit. As of December 31, 2006, we had $1,947.9 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility, which is net of a discount of $38.4 million and had issued $238.9 million in letters of credit. The term loan facility and the synthetic letter of credit facility will mature on December 21, 2012.

Senior ABL Facility.   Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of Hertz also entered into a credit agreement with respect to the Senior ABL Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch as Canadian Agent and Canadian collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent and the financial institutions party thereto from time to time. This facility provided (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,600.0 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800.0 million) under a revolving loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Hertz and Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation are the U.S. borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility and Matthews Equipment Limited and its subsidiary Western Shut-Down (1995) Ltd. are the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility. At December 31, 2006, net of a discount of $22.2 million, Hertz and Matthews Equipment Limited collectively had no borrowings outstanding under this facility and issued $18.2 million in letters of credit. The Senior ABL Facility will mature on December 21, 2010.

Hertz’s obligations under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz Investors, Inc., its immediate parent and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including for subsidiaries involved in the U.S. Fleet Debt Facility and similar special purpose financings), though HERC does not guarantee our obligations under the Senior ABL Facility because it is a borrower under that facility. In addition, the obligations of the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, if any, subject to limited exceptions. The lenders under each of the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility have received a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective subsidiaries, subject in each case to certain exceptions (including in respect of the U.S. Fleet Debt, the International Fleet Debt and, in the case of the Senior ABL Facility, other secured fleet financing.) Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

83




The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Under the Senior Term Facility, the borrowers are subject to financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Corporate EBITDA to interest expense coverage ratio for specified periods (the requirements for both of these ratios vary throughout the term of the loan.) Also, under the Senior ABL Facility, if the borrowers fail to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity, they will then be subject to financial covenants under such facility, including a specified debt to Corporate EBITDA leverage ratio (the ratio varies throughout the term of the loan) and a specified Corporate EBITDA to fixed charges coverage ratio of one to one. Failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities would result in a default under the credit agreements governing our Senior Credit Facilities and, absent a waiver or an amendment from our lenders, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2006, we performed the calculations associated with the above noted financial covenants and determined that we were in compliance with such financial covenants. The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements and provide for customary events of default.

On June 30, 2006, we entered into amendments to each of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility. The amendments provide, among other things, for additional capacity under the covenants in these credit facilities to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, to pay dividends and, in the case of the amendment to the Senior Term Facility, to make investments. These amendments also have the effect of reducing the restrictions in the Senior Credit Facilities on Hertz’s ability to provide cash to Hertz Holdings (whether in the form of a loan or a dividend) that would enable Hertz Holdings to service its indebtedness. The amendment to the Senior Term Facility also permits us to use proceeds of the unused portion of the $293.0 million delayed draw facility to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility, in addition to repaying certain of our other outstanding indebtedness. As previously noted, on July 10, 2006, the remaining $208.1 million of the delayed draw facility was drawn down to pay down the equivalent amount of borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility.

On February 9, 2007, Hertz entered into an amendment to its Senior Term Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payable on the Senior Term Facility by up to 50 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) eliminating certain mandatory prepayment requirements; (iii) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that Hertz and its subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior Term Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior Term Facility.

On February 15, 2007, Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries entered into an amendment to their Senior ABL Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rates payble on the Senior ABL Facility by up to 25 basis points from the interest rates previously payable thereunder, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) increasing the availability under the Senior ABL Facility from $1,600 million to $1,800 million; (iii) extending the term of the commitments under the Senior ABL Facility to February 15, 2012; (iv) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that the borrowers and their subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior ABL Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior ABL Facility.

84




Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the Acquisition, CCMG Acquisition Corporation issued the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes under separate indentures between CCMG Acquisition Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Hertz and the guarantors entered into supplemental indentures, dated as of the Closing Date, pursuant to which Hertz assumed the obligations of CCMG Acquisition Corporation under the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the respective indentures, and the guarantors issued the related guarantees. CCMG Acquisition Corporation subsequently merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving entity.

As of December 31, 2006, $2,097.0 million and $600.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2006, $7.1 million of losses, which is net of tax of $4.6 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” The Senior Notes will mature on January 1, 2014, and the Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on January 1, 2016. The Senior Dollar Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 8.875%, the Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 7.875% and the Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.5%. Hertz’s obligations under the indentures are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility.

Both the indenture for the Senior Notes and the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries, described in the respective indentures, to incur more debt, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with Hertz’s affiliates. The indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains subordination provisions and limitations on the types of senior subordinated debt that may be incurred. The indentures also contain certain mandatory and optional prepayment or redemption provisions and provide for customary events of default.

On January 12, 2007, Hertz completed exchange offers for the outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes whereby over 99% of the outstanding notes were exchanged for a like principal amount of new notes with identical terms that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4.

Fleet Financing

U.S. Fleet Debt.   In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or “HVF,” a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly owned by Hertz, entered into an amended and restated base indenture, or the “ABS Indenture,” dated as of the Closing Date, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee, and a number of related supplements to the ABS Indenture, each dated as of the Closing Date, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee and securities intermediary, or, collectively, the “ABS Supplement.” On the Closing Date, HVF, as issuer, issued approximately $4,300.0 million of new medium term asset-backed notes consisting of 11 classes of notes in two series under the ABS Supplement. HVF also issued approximately $1,500.0 million of variable funding notes in two series, none of which were funded at closing. As of December 31, 2006, $4,299.9 million, net of a $0.1 million discount, in medium term notes were outstanding and no aggregate borrowings were outstanding in the form of variable funding notes.

85




Each class of notes matures three, four or five years from the Closing Date. The variable funding notes will be funded through the bank multi seller commercial paper market. The assets of HVF, including the U.S. car rental fleet owned by HVF and certain related assets, collateralize the U.S. Fleet Debt and Pre-Acquisition ABS Notes. Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF and Hertz entered into seven interest rate swap agreements, or the “HVF Swaps,” effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 25, 2011. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the fair value of the HVF Swaps were $50.6 million and $37.0 million, respectively, which are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a benefit of $1.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations, in “Interest, net of interest income,” associated with previously recognized ineffectiveness of the HVF Swaps.

HVF is subject to numerous restrictive covenants under the ABS Indenture and the other agreements governing the U.S. Fleet Debt, including restrictive covenants with respect to liens, indebtedness, benefit plans, mergers, disposition of assets, acquisition of assets, dividends, officers’ compensation, investments, agreements, the types of business it may conduct and other customary covenants for a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. The U.S. Fleet Debt is subject to events of default and amortization events that are customary in nature for U.S. rental car asset-backed securitizations of this type. The occurrence of an amortization event or event of default could result in the acceleration of principal of the notes and a liquidation of the U.S. car rental fleet.

International Fleet Debt.   In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz International, Ltd., or “HIL,” a Delaware corporation organized as a foreign subsidiary holding company and a direct subsidiary of Hertz, and certain of its subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States), together with certain bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (whether organized as HIL’s subsidiaries or as non-affiliated “orphan” companies), or “SPEs,” entered into revolving bridge loan facilities providing commitments to lend, in various currencies, up to an aggregate foreign currency equivalent of approximately $3,197.0 million (calculated as of December 31, 2006), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of HIL’s subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or one or more SPEs, as the case may be, and rental equipment and related assets of certain of HIL’s subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more SPEs, as the case may be. As of December 31, 2006, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,954.6 million in borrowings was outstanding under these facilities, net of a $4.4 million discount. These facilities are referred to collectively as the “International Fleet Debt Facilities.”

The International Fleet Debt Facilities contain a number of covenants (including, without limitation, covenants customary for transactions similar to the International Fleet Debt Facilities) that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of HIL, the borrowers and the other subsidiaries of HIL to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, make negative pledges, change the nature of their business or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, HIL is restricted from making dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness) in an amount greater than 100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until the later of one year from the Closing Date and such time as 50% of the commitments under the

86




International Fleet Debt Facilities as of the closing of the Acquisition have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of cumulative excess cash flow based on the percentage of the International Fleet Debt Facilities that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. As a result of the contractual restrictions on HIL’s ability to pay dividends to Hertz as of December 31, 2006, the restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.

The subsidiaries conducting the car rental business in certain European jurisdictions may, at their option, continue to engage in capital lease financings relating to revenue earning equipment outside the International Fleet Debt Facilities. As of December 31, 2006, there were $33.2 million of capital lease financings outstanding. These capital lease financings are included in the International Fleet Debt total.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for 3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions give HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of 600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the swaptions was 1.3 million (or $1.7 million), which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” During the year ended December 31, 2006, the fair value adjustment related to these swaps was a loss of $2.6 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. The swaptions were renewed in 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration date of March 15, 2007 and now expire on September 5, 2007. See Note 16 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

On March 21, 2007, certain amendments to the International Fleet Debt Facilities were entered into for the purpose of, among other things, extending the dates when margins on the affected faciilties are scheduled to step up. See Note 16—Subsequent Events.

Fleet Financing Facility.   On September 29, 2006, Hertz and PUERTO RICANCARS, INC., a Puerto Rican corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz, or “PR Cars,” entered into a credit agreement to finance the acquisition of Hertz’s and/or PR Cars’ fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the “Fleet Financing Facility,” with the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, GELCO Corporation d.b.a. GE Fleet Services, or the “Fleet Financing Agent,” as administrative agent, as collateral agent for collateral owned by Hertz and as collateral agent for collateral owned by PR Cars. Affiliates of Merrill Lynch & Co. are lenders under the Fleet Financing Facility.

The Fleet Financing Facility provides (subject to availability under a borrowing base) a revolving credit facility of up to $275.0 million to Hertz and PR Cars. On September 29, 2006, Hertz borrowed $124.0 million under this facility to refinance other debt. The borrowing base formula is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and (in certain other instances) at the permitted discretion of the Fleet Financing Agent. As of December 31, 2006, Hertz and PR Cars had $144.9 million (net of a $2.1 million discount) and $21.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding.

The Fleet Financing Facility will mature on December 21, 2011, but Hertz and PR Cars may terminate or reduce the commitments of the lenders thereunder at any time. The Fleet Financing Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amount by which outstanding extensions of credit to Hertz or PR Cars exceed the lesser of the Hertz or PR Cars borrowing base, as applicable, and the commitments then in effect.

87




The obligations of each of the borrowers under the Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by each of Hertz’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries whose only material assets consist of securities and debt of foreign subsidiaries and related assets, subsidiaries involved in the ABS Program or other similar special purpose financings, subsidiaries with minority ownership positions, certain subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of PR Cars are guaranteed by Hertz. The obligations of Hertz under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents, including, without limitation, its guarantee of PR Cars’ obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility, are secured by security interests in Hertz’s rental car fleet in Hawaii and by certain assets related to Hertz’s rental car fleet in Hawaii and Kansas, including, without limitation, manufacturer repurchase program agreements. PR Cars’ obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents are secured by security interests in PR Cars’ rental car fleet in Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands and by certain assets related thereto.

At the applicable borrower’s election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Fleet Financing Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) LIBOR plus a borrowing margin of 125 basis points or (2) an alternate base rate of the prime rate plus a borrowing margin of 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2006, the average interest rate was 6.6% (LIBOR based).

The Fleet Financing Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to create liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers, enter into agreements which restrict liens on the Fleet Financing Facility collateral or Hertz’s rental car fleet in Kansas or change the nature of their business.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain of the documents relating to the Fleet Financing Facility were amended to make certain technical and administrative changes.

Hertz Holdings Loan Facility

On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a loan facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. or affiliates thereof, providing for a loan of $1.0 billion, or the “Hertz Holdings Loan Facility,” for the purpose of paying a special cash dividend to the holders of its common stock and paying fees and expenses related to the facility. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was repaid in full with the proceeds of our initial public offering, and the restrictive covenants contained therein were terminated.

Pre-Acquisition Financing

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $633.5 million (net of a $5.5 million discount) outstanding in pre-Acquisition promissory notes issued under three separate indentures at an average interest rate of 7.2%. These pre-Acquisition promissory notes have maturities ranging from 2007 to 2028.

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 7.6 million (or $10.0 million) outstanding in pre-Acquisition Euro-denominated medium term notes, in connection with which we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006 and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro-denominated medium term notes. Funds sufficient to repay all obligations associated with the remaining 7.6 million of Euro-denominated medium term notes at maturity have been placed in escrow for satisfaction of these obligations.

88




We also had outstanding as of December 31, 2006 approximately $545.3 million in borrowings, net of a $10.5 million discount, consisting of pre-Acquisition ABS Notes with an average interest rate of 3.2%. These pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have maturities ranging from 2007 to 2009. See “U.S. Fleet Debt” for a discussion of the collateralization of the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes.

Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2006, the following credit facilities were available for the use of Hertz and its subsidiaries:

·       The Senior Term Facility had $11.1 million available under the letter of credit facility. No amounts were available to refinance certain existing debt under the delayed draw facility.

·       The Senior ABL Facility had the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,600.0 million of remaining capacity, all of which was available under the borrowing base limitation and $181.8 million of which was available under the letter of credit facility sublimit.

·       The International Fleet Debt Facilities had the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,236.4 million of remaining capacity and $231.4 million available under the borrowing base limitation.

·       The U.S. Fleet Debt had approximately $1,500.0 million of remaining capacity and $34.3 million available under the borrowing base limitation. No additional amounts were available under the letter of credit facility.

·       The Fleet Financing Facility had approximately $107.0 million of remaining capacity and $16.5 million available under the borrowing base limitation.

As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of our assets are pledged under one or more of the facilities noted above. We are currently in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the various facilities noted above that are currently applicable to us.

(1)            Amounts represent aggregate debt obligations included in “Debt” in our consolidated balance sheet and include $2,162.6 million of commercial paper and other short-term borrowings. These amounts exclude estimated payments under interest rate swap agreements. See Note 3 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

(2)            Amounts represent the estimated interest payments based on the principal amounts, minimum non-cancelable maturity dates and applicable interest rates on the debt at December 31, 2006.

89




The minimum non-cancelable obligations under the International Fleet Debt, Senior ABL Facility and the Fleet Financing Facility matured between January and March 2007. While there was no requirement to do so, these obligations were subsequently renewed.

(3)            Includes obligations under various concession agreements, which provide for payment of rents and a percentage of revenue with a guaranteed minimum, and lease agreements for real estate, revenue earning equipment and office and computer equipment. Such obligations are reflected to the extent of their minimum non-cancelable terms. See Note 9 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

(4)            Purchase obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that are legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Only the minimum non-cancelable portion of purchase agreements and related cancellation penalties are included as obligations. In the case of contracts, which state minimum quantities of goods or services, amounts reflect only the stipulated minimums; all other contracts reflect estimated amounts. Of the total purchase obligations as of December 31, 2006, $5,499.0 million represent fleet purchases where contracts have been signed or are pending with committed orders under the terms of such arrangements. We do not regard our employment relationships with our employees as “agreements to purchase services” for these purposes.

Other Factors

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Following the Acquisition

We have recognized a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the Acquisition. We perform an impairment analysis with respect to our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or more frequently if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill or other intangible assets may not be recoverable. If we identify an impairment in goodwill or other intangible assets we may be required to take a charge that could negatively impact our future earnings.

Foreign Currency

Provisions are not made for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States or are expected to be remitted free of taxes. Foreign operations have been financed to a substantial extent through loans from local lending sources in the currency of the countries in which such operations are conducted. Car rental operations in foreign countries are, from time to time, subject to governmental regulations imposing varying degrees of currency restrictions. Currency restrictions and other regulations historically have not had a material impact on our operations as a whole.

Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental operations were $10,545.7 million, $11,493.9 million and $10,665.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our equipment rental operations were $875.2 million, $927.1 million and $644.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 8.2% and 5.6%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in our car rental revenue earning equipment expenditures is due to the change in the mix of purchases made during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. Revenue earning equipment expenditures in our car rental and equipment rental operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 7.8% and 43.8%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in equipment rental revenue earning equipment expenditures is primarily the result of higher rental volume.

Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental operations were $166.4 million, $271.1 million and $220.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Property and equipment expenditures in our equipment rental operations were $54.4 million $69.0 million and $63.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Property and equipment expenditures in our “corporate and other” activities were $3.1 million, $2.9 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

91




Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental, equipment rental and “corporate and other” operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased by 38.6%, 21.2% and increased by 6.9%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. Property and equipment expenditures in our car rental, equipment rental and “corporate and other” operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by 23.0%, 9.4% and decreased by 3.3%, respectively, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, we experienced a level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and equipment slightly lower than our net expenditures in 2005. This decrease was due to a decrease in the percentage of program cars purchased and an increase in the percentage of lower cost non-program cars purchased for the year ended December 31, 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, we experienced a level of net expenditures for revenue earning equipment and property and equipment slightly lower than our net expenditures in 2004. The net capital expenditures decrease was due to increased disposals partly offset by increases in the prices of 2006 model year vehicles acquired beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, together with capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our off-airport locations.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding:

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnifications for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings’ stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings’ stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors.

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial

92




statements. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Other accrued liabilities” were $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Risk Management

For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, including vehicle liability, general liability and property damage insurable risks, see “Item 1—Business—Risk Management.”

Market Risks

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and historically have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments. For more information on these exposures, see Note 13 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. Effective September 30, 2003, we entered into interest rate swap agreements relating to the issuance of our 4.7% notes due October 2, 2006. Effective June 3, 2004, we entered into interest rate swap agreements relating to the issuance of our 6.35% notes due June 15, 2010. Under these agreements, we paid interest at a variable rate in exchange for fixed rate receipts, effectively transforming these notes to floating rate obligations. As a result of the Acquisition, a significant portion of the underlying fixed rate debt was tendered, causing the interest rate swaps to be ineffective as of December 21, 2005. Consequently, any changes in the fair value of the derivatives were recognized in the statement of operations. Between December 21, 2005 (the date the hedge accounting was discontinued) and December 31, 2005, the fair value adjustment related to these interest rate swaps was a gain of $2.7 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. During January 2006, we assigned these interest rate swaps to a third party in return for cash. As a result of the assignment of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million which is reflected in our consolidated statement of operations in ““Selling, general and administrative” expenses.”

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of the $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF and Hertz entered into seven interest rate swap agreements, or the “HVF Swaps,” effective December 21, 2005. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 25, 2011. Under these agreements, we

93




pay monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations.

In connection with the remaining 7.6 million untendered balance of our Euro-denominated medium term notes, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006, and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro-denominated medium term notes.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for 3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions give HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps based on a total notional amount of 600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. The swaptions were renewed in 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration date of March 15, 2007 and now expire on September 5, 2007.

See Notes 3, 13 and 16 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

We have a significant amount of debt (including under our U.S. and International Fleet Debt and Senior ABL Facility) with variable rates of interest based generally on LIBOR, EURIBOR or their equivalents for local currencies plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could therefore significantly increase the associated interest payments that we are required to make on this debt.

We have assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical increase of one percentage point in interest rates on our debt portfolio as of December 31, 2006, our net interest expense would increase by an estimated $15.9 million over a twelve-month period.

Consistent with the terms of the agreements governing the respective debt obligations, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate interest exposure under the Senior Credit Facilities and the U.S. and International Fleet Debt to provide protection in respect of such exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. The effect of exchange rate changes on these financial instruments would not materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our risks with respect to currency option contracts are limited to the premium paid for the right to exercise the option and the future performance of the option’s counterparty. Premiums paid for options outstanding as of December 31, 2006, were approximately $0.3 million, and we limit counterparties to financial institutions that have strong credit ratings.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts at the time of the loans. The forward rate is reflected in the intercompany loan rate to the subsidiaries, and as a result, the forward contracts have no material impact on our results of operations.

In connection with the Transactions, we issued 225 million of unhedged Senior Euro Notes. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of

94




operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2006, $7.1 million of losses attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

Inflation

The increased acquisition cost of vehicles is the primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation, including health care costs. Management does not expect that the effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be greater for us than for our competitors.

Like-Kind Exchange Program

In January 2006, we implemented a like-kind exchange program for our U.S. car rental business. Pursuant to the program, we dispose of vehicles and acquire replacement vehicles in a form intended to allow such dispositions and replacements to qualify as tax-deferred “like-kind exchanges” pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The program has resulted in a material deferral of federal and state income taxes for fiscal 2006. A like-kind exchange program for HERC has been in place for several years. We cannot, however, offer assurance that the expected tax deferral will be achieved or that the relevant law concerning the programs will remain in its current form. In addition, the benefit of deferral is subject to recapture, if, for example, there were a material downsizing of our fleet.

Employee Retirement Benefits

Pension

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans worldwide. Pension obligations give rise to significant expenses that are dependent on assumptions discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Our 2006 worldwide pre-tax pension expense was approximately $35.6 million, which is a decrease of $1.9 million from 2005 primarily attributable to the elimination of the amortization of net loss component of 2006 net periodic pension cost because of the purchase accounting charges that were recognized in 2005. As of the Acquisition date, a liability was recorded for the projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets, which eliminated any previously existing unrecognized net gain or loss, or unrecognized prior service cost.

The funded status (i.e., the dollar amount by which the present value of projected benefit obligations exceeded the market value of pension plan assets) of our U.S. qualified plan, in which most domestic employees participate, declined as of December 31, 2006, compared with December 31, 2005. The ratio of assets to the projected benefit obligation was consistent from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006. The primary reason for the decline in dollar terms is that no contributions were made in 2006.

We review our pension assumptions regularly and from time to time make contributions beyond those legally required. For example, no discretionary contributions were made to our U.S. qualified plan in the year ended December 31, 2006 and $28.0 million and $48.0 million were made to our U.S. qualified plan for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. After giving effect to these contributions, based on current interest rates and on our return assumptions and assuming no additional contributions, we do not expect to be required to pay any variable-rate premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation before 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we contributed $28.8 million to our worldwide pension plans, including a discretionary contribution of

95




$15.6 million to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan and benefit payments made through unfunded plans.

We participate in various “multiemployer” pension plans administrated by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the event that we withdrew from participation in one of these plans, then applicable law could require us to make an additional lump-sum contribution to the plan, and we would have to reflect that as an expense in our statement of operations and as a liability on our balance sheet. Our withdrawal liability for any multiemployer plan would depend on the extent of the plan’s funding of vested benefits. We currently do not expect to incur any material withdrawal liability in the near future. However, in the ordinary course of our renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we could decide to discontinue participation in a plan, and in that event we could face a withdrawal liability. Some multiemployer plans, including one in which we participate, are reported to have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability.

Other Postretirement Benefits

We provide limited postretirement health care and life insurance for employees of our domestic operations with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. There are no plan assets associated with this plan. We provide for these postretirement costs through monthly accruals. The net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1.1 million and the accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2006 was $16.6 million compared to a net periodic postretirement benefit cost of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and an accumulated benefit obligation of $18.2 million as of December 31, 2005. The decrease in the accumulated benefit obligation was primarily attributable to the increase in the discount rate from 5.5% as of December 31, 2005 to 5.7% as of December 31, 2006.

Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan

On February 15, 2006, our Board of Directors and that of Hertz jointly approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the “Stock Incentive Plan.” The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the sale of shares of stock of Hertz Holdings to our executive officers, other key employees and directors as well as the grant of stock options to purchase shares of Hertz Holdings to those individuals.

During the second quarter of 2006, we made an equity offering to approximately 350 of Hertz’s executives and key employees (not including Craig R. Koch, our former Chief Executive Officer). The shares sold and options granted to our employees in connection with this equity offering are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The offering closed on May 5, 2006. In connection with this offering, we sold 1,757,354 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and granted options to purchase an additional 2,786,354 shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share ($4.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). In addition, on May 18, 2006, we granted Hertz’s key executives and employees (except for Mr. Koch) options to acquire an additional 9,515,000 shares of our common stock at $10.00 per share ($4.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006), 800,000 shares at $15.00 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006) and 800,000 shares at $20.00 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). These options are subject to and governed by the Stock Incentive Plan.

96




On June 12, 2006, Mr. Koch purchased 50,000 shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and received options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share ($5.68 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006). On August 15, 2006, the options issued to Mr. Koch in June 2006 were cancelled and he was issued options to purchase 112,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Hertz Holdings made a payment to Mr. Koch in connection with his share purchase equal to $80,000.

On August 15, 2006, certain newly-hired employees purchased an aggregate of 20,000 shares at a purchase price of $7.68 per share and were granted options to purchase 220,000 shares of Hertz Holdings stock at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Also on August 15, 2006, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Frissora purchased 1,056,338 shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at a price of $5.68 per share and was granted options to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006), 400,000 options at an exercise price of $10.68 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) and 400,000 options at an exercise price of $15.68 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). All of Mr. Frissora’s options will vest 20% per year on the first five anniversaries of the date of commencement of his employment and will have a ten year term.

During September 2006, we determined that the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006 was $16.37 per share, rather than the $7.68 that had originally been determined at that time and which we use for purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan and federal income tax purposes. Consequently, we recognized compensation expense of approximately $13.0 million, including amounts for a tax gross-up on the initial $2.00 discount to fair market value in accordance with Mr. Frissora’s employment agreement, in the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

In order to assist management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in their determination of the value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings, Hertz engaged an independent valuation specialist to perform a valuation of the common stock of Hertz Holdings at May 15, 2006 and June 30, 2006. The May 15th date is close to the initial stock purchase and option grant date of May 5, 2006 and the second option grant date of May 18, 2006. The June 30th date coincides with the payment of the special cash dividend of $4.32 per share.

The independent valuation specialist weighted each of the income, market transaction and market comparable valuation approaches equally. Management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors believe that the valuation approaches employed are appropriate for an enterprise such as Hertz Holdings, which has an established financial history of profitable operations and generation of positive cash flows. The results of the approaches were not significantly different from one another.

In connection with the authorization of the special cash dividend of $4.32 per share paid on June 30, 2006, the Board of Hertz Holdings authorized the modification of the option exercise prices downward by an amount equal to the per share amount of the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006, thereby preserving the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law. In order to assist management and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in their determination of the value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings, an independent valuation was performed as of immediately before and after the modification. We will recognize incremental compensation cost of approximately $14.1 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options for the special cash dividend over the remainder of the five-year requisite vesting period that began on the grant date.

97




Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of Hertz Holdings on November 21, 2006, Hertz Holdings declared a special cash dividend, to be paid promptly following the completion of the offering. In connection with the special cash dividend, Hertz Holdings’ outstanding stock options were adjusted to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law and the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The Board approved this modification on October 12, 2006. Beginning on that date, the cost of the modification was recognized ratably over the remainder of the requisite service period for each grant. Because the modification was effective before the amount of the dividend was known, the cost of the modification reflected the assumption that the dividend would be funded by the proceeds to Hertz Holdings from the sale of the common stock after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The assumed proceeds from the sale of the common stock were determined by assuming an offering price equivalent to the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of the initial public offering prospectus (or $17.00 per share) and resulted in an estimated dividend of $1.83 per share. The actual dividend declared was $1.12 per share. We will recognize incremental compensation cost of $14.2 million related to the cost of modifying the exercise prices of the stock options for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006 over the remainder of the five-year requisite service period. This charge was based on the estimated dividend, rather than the actual dividend paid.

Share Purchase by Our Chief Executive Officer

On July 10, 2006, Mark P. Frissora accepted an offer of employment to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. On August 15, 2006, Mr. Frissora purchased 1,056,338 shares of our common stock at a price of $5.68 per share, which was $2.00 below the fair market value of $7.68 on that date. As discussed under “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Stock-Based Compensation,” we have subsequently determined that the fair value of our common stock as of August 15, 2006 should be $16.37 per share, rather than $7.68 as had originally been determined at that time. Consequently, we recognized compensation expense of approximately $13.0 million, including amounts for a tax gross-up on the initial $2.00 discount to fair market value in accordance with Mr. Frissora’s employment agreement, in the third quarter of 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or “FIN 48,” “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of FIN 48 on our financial position as of January 1, 2007 is estimated to be up to a $30.0 million increase in total liabilities.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or “EITF,” issued EITF No. 06-3, or “EITF 06-3,” “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” which relates to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction. EITF 06-3 states that the presentation of the taxes, either on a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net basis (excluded from revenues), is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies,” if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-3 should be applied to financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Sales tax amounts collected from customers have been

98




recorded on a net basis. The adoption of EITF 06-3 will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or the “SEC,” issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, or “SAB No. 108.” “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to apply the new guidance to material errors in existence at the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 by correcting those errors through a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 or “SFAS No. 157”, “Fair Value Measurements,” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently reviewing SFAS No. 157 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, or “SFAS No. 159,” “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of January 1, 2008. We are currently reviewing SFAS 159 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations..

ITEM 8.                 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.:

We have completed integrated audits of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.’s 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Successor Company) at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from December 21, 2005 to December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider

100




necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Background and Change in Ownership

Background

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. is referred to herein as “Hertz Holdings.” The Hertz Corporation is referred to herein as “Hertz.” The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to (i) prior to December 21, 2005, Hertz and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) on and after December 21, 2005, Hertz Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries (including Hertz). 100% of Hertz’s outstanding capital stock is owned by Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously known as CCMG Corporation), and 100% of Hertz Investors, Inc.’s capital stock is owned by Hertz Holdings. Hertz Holdings was incorporated on August 31, 2005 by the Sponsors (as defined below) to serve as the top-level holding company for Hertz, its primary operating company. Financial information for the Predecessor period is for Hertz.

Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware in 2005 and had no operations prior to the Acquisition (as defined below). Hertz was incorporated in Delaware in 1967 and is a successor to corporations that have been engaged in the automobile and truck rental and leasing business since 1918. Ford Motor Company, or “Ford,” first acquired an ownership interest in Hertz in 1987. Previously, Hertz had been a subsidiary of UAL Corporation (formerly Allegis Corporation), which had acquired Hertz’s outstanding capital stock from RCA Corporation in 1985. Hertz became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford as a result of a series of transactions in 1993 and 1994. Hertz continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford until April 1997. In 1997, Hertz completed a public offering of approximately 50.6% of Hertz’s Class A Common Stock, or the “Class A Common Stock,” which represented approximately 19.1% of Hertz’s economic interest. In March 2001, Ford, through a subsidiary, acquired all of Hertz’s outstanding Class A Common Stock that it did not already own for $35.50 per share, or approximately $735 million. As a result of that acquisition, Hertz’s Class A Common Stock ceased to be traded on the NYSE. However, because certain of Hertz’s debt securities were sold through public offerings, Hertz continued to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Acquisition and Related Transactions

On December 21, 2005, or the “Closing Date,” investment funds associated with or designated by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc., or “CD&R,” The Carlyle Group, or “Carlyle,” and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity, or “MLGPE,” or collectively the “Sponsors,” through CCMG Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz Holdings (previously known as CCMG Holdings, Inc.) acquired all of Hertz’s common stock from a subsidiary of Ford, or the “Acquisition,” for aggregate consideration of $4,379 million in cash and debt refinanced or assumed of $10,116 million and transaction fees and expenses of $447 million. To finance the cash consideration for the Acquisition, to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and to pay related transaction fees and expenses, or the “Transactions,” the Sponsors used:

·       equity contributions totaling $2,295 million from the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors;

·       net proceeds from a private placement by CCMG Acquisition Corporation of $1,800 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014, or the “Senior Dollar Notes,” $600 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016, or the “Senior Subordinated Notes,” and 225 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2014, or the “Senior Euro Notes.” In connection with the Transactions, CCMG Acquisition Corporation merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving corporation of

107




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the merger. CCMG Acquisition Corporation had no operations prior to the Acquisition. We refer to the Senior Dollar Notes and the Senior Euro Notes together as the “Senior Notes.” See Note 3Debt;

·       aggregate borrowings of approximately $1,707 million by us under a new senior term facility, or the “Senior Term Facility,” which consists of (a) a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000 million, which included a delayed draw facility of $293 million and (b) a synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million. See Note 16Subsequent Events;

·       aggregate borrowings of approximately $400 million by Hertz and one of its Canadian subsidiaries under a new senior asset-based revolving loan facility, or the “Senior ABL Facility,” with a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,600 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800 million). We refer to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility together as the “Senior Credit Facilities.” See Note 16Subsequent Events;

·       aggregate proceeds of offerings totaling approximately $4,300 million by a special purpose entity wholly owned by us of asset-backed securities backed by our U.S. car rental fleet, or the “U.S. Fleet Debt,” all of which we issued under our existing asset-backed notes program, or the “ABS Program”; under which an additional $600 million of previously issued asset-backed medium term notes having maturities from 2007 to 2009 remain outstanding following the closing of the Transactions, and in connection with which approximately $1,500 million of variable funding notes in two series were also issued, but not funded, on the closing date of the Acquisition;

·       aggregate borrowings of the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,781 million by certain of our foreign subsidiaries under asset-based revolving loan facilities with aggregate commitments equivalent to approximately $2,930 million (calculated in each case at December 31, 2005), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles, rental equipment, and related assets of certain of our foreign subsidiaries, (all of which are organized outside of the United States) or one or more special purpose entities, as the case may be, and, rental equipment and related assets of certain of our subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more special purpose entities, as the case may be, which facilities (together with certain capital lease obligations) are referred to collectively as the “International Fleet Debt;” and

·       our cash on hand in an aggregate amount of approximately $6.1 million.

In connection with the Transactions, we also refinanced a significant portion of our existing indebtedness, which was repaid as follows:

·       the repurchase of approximately $3,700 million in aggregate principal amount of existing senior notes having maturities from May 2006 to January 2028, of which additional notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $803.3 million remained outstanding following the Transactions;

·       the repurchase of approximately 192.4 million (or approximately $230.0 million, calculated as of December 31, 2005) in aggregate principal amount of existing Euro-denominated medium term notes with a maturity of July 2007, of which additional medium term notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately 7.6 million remained outstanding following the Transactions;

108




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

·       the repayment of a $1,185 million intercompany note issued by Hertz to Ford Holdings on June 10, 2005 that would have matured in June 2010;

·       the repayment of approximately $1,935 million under an interim credit facility that would have matured on February 28, 2006;

·       the repayment of commercial paper, notes payable and other bank debt of approximately $1,212 million; and

·       the settlement of all accrued interest and unamortized debt discounts relating to the above existing indebtedness.

The term “Successor” refers to us following the Acquisition. The term “Predecessor” refers to us prior to the Acquisition. The “Successor period ended December 31, 2005” refers to the period from December 21, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and the “Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005” refers to the period from January 1, 2005 to December 20, 2005.

The Acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition date. Consequently, the excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded to goodwill.

The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB,” Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or “SFAS,” No. 141, “Business Combinations,” with intangible assets recorded in conformity with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requiring an allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors, including actuarial estimates for pension liabilities, fair values of our indebtedness and other liabilities, and valuation assessments of our tangible and intangible assets determined with the assistance of a valuation specialist.

Initial Public Offering

In November 2006, we completed our initial public offering of 88,235,000 shares of common stock at a per share price of $15.00, with proceeds to us before underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $1.3 billion. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings that were outstanding under a $1.0 billion loan facility entered into by Hertz Holdings, or the “Hertz Holdings Loan Facility,” and to pay related transaction fees and expenses. The proceeds were also used to pay special cash dividends of $1.12 per share on November 21, 2006 to stockholders of record of Hertz Holdings immediately prior to the initial public offering. Immediately following the initial public offering, the Sponsors’ ownership percentage in us decreased to approximately 71.6%.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hertz Holdings and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition

Rental and rental-related revenue (including cost reimbursements from customers where we consider ourselves to be the principal versus an agent) are recognized over the period the revenue earning equipment is rented based on the terms of the rental or leasing contract.

Cash and Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash and equivalents that are not readily available for our normal disbursements. Restricted cash and equivalents are restricted for the acquisition of vehicles and other specified uses under our asset backed notes program and to satisfy certain of our self insurance

110




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

reserve requirements. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the portion of total restricted cash that was associated with our Fleet debt was $487.0 million and $191.5 million, respectively.

Depreciable Assets

The provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, as follows:

Revenue Earning Equipment:

 

 

 

Cars

 

5 to 16 months

 

Other equipment

 

24 to 108 months

 

Buildings

 

20 to 50 years

 

Capitalized internal use software

 

1 to 10 years

 

Service cars and service equipment

 

1 to 25 years

 

Other intangible assets

 

5 to 10 years

 

Leasehold improvements

 

The shorter of their economic lives or the lease term.

 

 

We follow the practice of charging maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, to maintenance expense accounts. Costs of major replacements of units of property are capitalized to property and equipment accounts and depreciated on the basis indicated above. Gains and losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in income as realized. When revenue earning equipment is acquired, we estimate the period we will hold the asset. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated holding period, with the objective of minimizing gain or loss on the disposition of the revenue earning equipment. Depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis based on management’s routine review of present and estimated future market conditions and their effect on residual values at the time of disposal. Upon disposal of the revenue earning equipment, depreciation expense is adjusted for the difference between the net proceeds received and the remaining net book value.

Environmental Liabilities

The use of automobiles and other vehicles is subject to various governmental controls designed to limit environmental damage, including that caused by emissions and noise. Generally, these controls are met by the manufacturer, except in the case of occasional equipment failure requiring repair by us. To comply with environmental regulations, measures are taken at certain locations to reduce the loss of vapor during the fueling process and to maintain, upgrade and replace underground fuel storage tanks. We also incur and provide for expenses for the cleanup of petroleum discharges and other alleged violations of environmental laws arising from the disposition of waste products. We do not believe that we will be required to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or to make any other material expenditures to meet the requirements of governmental authorities in this area. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded at undiscounted amounts when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Public Liability and Property Damage

The obligation for public liability and property damage on self-insured U.S. and international vehicles and equipment represents an estimate for both reported accident claims not yet paid, and claims incurred but not yet reported. The related liabilities are recorded on a non-discounted basis. Reserve requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claim experience and trends, as

111




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

well as future projections of ultimate losses, expenses, premiums and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is regularly monitored based on evolving accident claim history. If our estimates change or if actual results differ from these assumptions, the amount of the recorded liability is adjusted to reflect these results. As of the Acquisition date, this liability was revalued on a discounted basis which approximated its fair value.

Pensions

Our employee pension costs and obligations are dependent on our assumptions used by actuaries in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, salary growth, long-term return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and other factors. Actual results that differ from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect our recognized expense in such future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions would affect our pension costs and obligations. As of the Acquisition date, a liability was recorded for the projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets which eliminated any previously existing unrecognized net gain or loss, or unrecognized prior service cost.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, or “SFAS No. 158,” “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” SFAS No. 158 requires employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with single-employer defined benefit pension plans, retiree healthcare and other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 were effective as of our fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The effect of applying SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands of dollars):

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the stockholders’ equity section of our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2006, the accumulated foreign currency translation gain was $91.6 million and as of December 31, 2005, the accumulated foreign currency loss was of $3.4 million. On the Acquisition date, the existing accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses were eliminated from “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on our consolidated balance sheet. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions are included in earnings.

112




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Prior to the Acquisition, Hertz and its domestic subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Ford. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, or the “Agreement,” with Ford, current and deferred taxes were reported and paid to Ford, as if Hertz had filed its own consolidated tax returns with its domestic subsidiaries. The Agreement provided that Hertz was reimbursed for foreign tax credits in accordance with the utilization of those credits by the Ford consolidated tax group.

On December 21, 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, the Agreement with Ford was terminated. Upon termination, all tax payables and receivables with Ford were cancelled and neither Hertz nor Ford has any future rights or obligations under the Agreement. Hertz may be exposed to tax liabilities attributable to periods it was a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify Hertz for certain tax liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that payments in respect of the indemnification agreement will be available.

During 2006, a third party was engaged to perform a comprehensive analysis of our deferred taxes. The domestic deferred tax analysis was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2006 and resulted in a $159.4 million decrease to our deferred tax liability and a $156.3 million decrease to our goodwill. We have determined that these adjustments are not material to our current or previously issued consolidated financial statements.

Advertising

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred.

Legal Fees

We accrue for legal fees and other directly related costs of third parties when it is probable that such fees and costs will be incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in accordance with SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” See Note 2—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amounts of the assets are based upon our estimates of the undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value.

113




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Stock Options (Predecessor only)

Prior to the Acquisition, certain of our employees were granted options to purchase shares of Ford common stock under Ford’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the “1998 Plan.” Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

Effective with the Acquisition, all unvested options became vested and exercisable. The total stock-based compensation expense, net of related tax effects, was $6.8 million for the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB, revised SFAS No. 123, with SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” The revised statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is to be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Beginning January 1, 2006, we accounted for our employee stock-based compensation awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. We have estimated the fair value of options issued at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which includes assumptions related to volatility, expected life, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and forfeiture rate. See Note 6—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of estimates and assumptions as determined by management are required in the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.” Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, or “FIN 48,” “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of FIN 48 on our financial position as of January 1, 2007 is estimated to be up to a $30.0 million increase in total liabilities.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or “EITF,” issued EITF No. 06-3, or “EITF 06-3,” “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” which relates to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction. EITF 06-3 states that the presentation of the taxes, either on a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net

114




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

basis (excluded from revenues), is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies,” if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-3 should be applied to financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. Sales tax amounts collected from customers have been recorded on a net basis. The adoption of EITF 06-3 will not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, or “SAB No. 108,” “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to apply the new guidance to material errors in existence at the beginning of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 by correcting those errors through a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, or “SFAS No. 157,” “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently reviewing SFAS No. 157 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, or “SFAS No. 159,” “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of January 1, 2008. We are currently reviewing SFAS 159 to determine its impact, if any, on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 2—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We account for our goodwill under SFAS No. 142. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead must be tested for impairment at least annually. We conducted the required annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test in the second quarter of 2006 and determined that there was no impairment. The Acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the assets acquired, including intangible assets and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the Acquisition date. Consequently, the excess of the cost of the Acquisition over the net of amounts assigned to the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded to goodwill.

The Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, with intangible assets recorded in conformity with SFAS No. 142, requiring an allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on their relative fair values as of the date of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is based on management’s judgment after evaluating several factors, including actuarial estimates for pension liabilities, fair values of our indebtedness and other liabilities, and valuation assessments of our tangible and intangible assets determined with the assistance of a valuation specialist.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2006, short-term borrowings (in millions of dollars) were as follows: maximum month end amounts outstanding of $11.1 of commercial paper and $3,077.5 of bank borrowings; monthly average amounts outstanding of $12.4 of commercial paper (weighted-average interest rate 0.6%) and $2,509.9 of bank borrowings (weighted-average interest rate 5.2%).

During the year ended December 31, 2005, short-term borrowings (in millions of dollars) were as follows: maximum month end amounts outstanding of $2,052.7 of commercial paper and $3,113.7 of bank borrowings; monthly average amounts outstanding of $1,569.5 of commercial paper (weighted-average interest rate 3.1%) and $1,798.3 of bank borrowings (weighted-average interest rate 5.2%).

As of December 31, 2006, there were standby letters of credit issued totaling $460.9 million. Of this amount, $234.0 million has been issued for the benefit of the ABS Program ($200.0 million of which was issued by Ford and $34.0 million of which relates to the Senior Credit Facilities below) and the remainder is primarily to support self-insurance programs (including insurance policies with respect to which we have indemnified the issuers for any losses) in the United States, Canada and Europe and to support airport concession obligations in the United States and Canada. As of December 31, 2006, the full amount of these letters of credit was undrawn.

Senior Credit Facilities

In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz entered into a credit agreement with respect to its Senior Term Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto from time to time. The facility consisted of a $2,000.0 million secured term loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, which included a delayed draw facility of $293.0 million. In addition, there is a pre-funded synthetic letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. On the Closing Date, Hertz utilized $1,707.0 million of the Senior Term Facility and $182.2 million in letters of credit. As of December 31, 2006, we had $1,947.9 million in borrowings outstanding under this facility, which is net of a discount of $38.4 million and had issued $238.9 million in letters of credit. The term loan facility and the synthetic letter of credit facility will mature on December 21, 2012. The term loan will amortize in nominal quarterly installments (not exceeding one percent of the aggregate principal amount thereof per annum) until the maturity date. At the borrower’s election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Term Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) an adjusted London inter-bank offered rate, or “LIBOR,” plus a borrowing margin or (2) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin. In addition, the borrower pays fees on the unused term loan commitments of the lenders, letter of credit participation fees on the full amount of the synthetic letter of credit facility plus fronting fees for the letter of credit issuing banks and other customary fees in respect of the Senior Term Facility.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of Hertz also entered into a credit agreement with respect to the Senior ABL Facility with Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch as administrative agent and collateral agent, Deutsche Bank AG, Canada Branch as Canadian Agent and Canadian collateral agent, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as documentation agent and the financial institutions party thereto from time to time. This facility provided (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of $1,600.0 million (which was increased in February 2007 to $1,800.0 million) under a revolving loan facility providing for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling. Up to $200.0 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. Hertz and Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation are the U.S. borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility and Matthews Equipment Limited and its subsidiary Western Shut-Down (1995) Ltd. are the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility. At December 31, 2006, net of a discount of $22.2 million, Hertz and Matthews Equipment Limited collectively had no borrowings outstanding under this facility and issued $18.2 million in letters of credit. The Senior ABL Facility will mature on December 21, 2010. At the borrower’s election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior ABL Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin or (2) an alternate base rate plus a borrowing margin. The borrower will pay customary commitment and other fees in respect of the Senior ABL Facility.

Hertz’s obligations under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz Investors, Inc., its immediate parent, and most of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions, including for subsidiaries involved in the U.S. Fleet Debt Facility and similar special purpose financings), though Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation does not guarantee Hertz’s obligations under the Senior ABL Facility because it is a borrower under that facility. In addition, the obligations of the Canadian borrowers under the Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by their respective subsidiaries, if any, subject to limited exceptions. The lenders under each of the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility have received a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the borrowers and guarantors under those facilities, including pledges of the stock of certain of their respective subsidiaries, subject in each case to certain exceptions (including in respect of the U.S. Fleet Debt, the International Fleet Debt and, in the case of the Senior ABL Facility, other secured fleet financing.) Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.

The Senior Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and the guarantors to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividends and other restricted payments, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, change the nature of their business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Under the Senior Term Facility, the borrower is required to comply with specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. Under the Senior ABL Facility, upon excess availability falling below certain levels, specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio, will apply. The Senior Credit Facilities are subject to certain mandatory prepayment requirements and provide for customary events of default.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior Term Facility (as amended) permit cash dividends to be paid to Hertz Holdings (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of a specified minimum amount and 1.0% of consolidated tangible assets less certain investments, (ii) in additional amounts at any

119




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

time, up to a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, consolidated net income from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available and (iii) in additional amounts at any time, up to a specified amount of certain equity contributions made by Hertz Holdings to Hertz.

Restrictive covenants in the Senior ABL Facility (as amended) permit cash dividends to be paid to Hertz Holdings in an aggregate amount, taken together with certain other investments, acquisitions and optional prepayments, not to exceed $100 million. Hertz may also pay additional cash dividends under the Senior ABL Facility at any time, and in any amount, so long as (a) there is at least $250 million of availability under the facility after giving effect to the proposed dividend, (b) if certain other payments when taken together with the proposed dividend would exceed $50 million in a 30-day period, Hertz can demonstrate projected average availability in the following six-month period of $250 million or more and (c) (i) Hertz can demonstrate pro forma compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio set forth in the Senior ABL Facility or (ii) the amount of the proposed dividend does not exceed the sum of (x) the greater of a specified minimum amount and 1.0% of consolidated tangible assets plus (y) a specified available amount determined by reference to, among other things, consolidated net income from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available plus (z) a specified amount of certain equity contributions made by Hertz Holdings to the borrowers under such facility.

On June 30, 2006, we entered into amendments to each of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility. The amendments provide, among other things, for additional capacity under the covenants in these credit facilities to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, to pay dividends (subject to the limitations described above) and, in the case of the amendment to the Senior Term Facility, to make investments. These amendments also have the effect of reducing the restrictions in the Senior Credit Facilities on Hertz’s ability to provide cash to Hertz Holdings (whether in the form of a loan or a dividend) that would enable Hertz Holdings to service its indebtedness. The amendment to the Senior Term Facility also permits us to use proceeds of the unused portion of the $293.0 million delayed draw facility to repay borrowings outstanding under the Senior ABL Facility. On July 10, 2006, the remaining $208.1 million of the delayed draw facility was drawn down to pay down the equivalent amount of borrowings under the Senior ABL Facility.

In February 2007, we entered into amendments to each of our Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, see Note 16—Subsequent Events.

Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes

In connection with the Acquisition, CCMG Acquisition Corporation issued the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes under separate indentures between CCMG Acquisition Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. Hertz and the guarantors entered into supplemental indentures, dated as of the Closing Date, pursuant to which Hertz assumed the obligations of CCMG Acquisition Corporation under the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the respective indentures, and the guarantors issued the related guarantees. CCMG Acquisition Corporation subsequently merged with and into Hertz, with Hertz as the surviving entity.

As of December 31, 2006, $2,097.0 million and $600.0 million in borrowings were outstanding under the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized

120




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2006, $7.1 million of losses, which is net of tax of $4.6 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” The Senior Notes will mature on January 1, 2014, and the Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on January 1, 2016. The Senior Dollar Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 8.875%, the Senior Euro Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 7.875% and the Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a rate per annum of 10.5%. Hertz’s obligations under the indentures are guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Term Facility.

Both the indenture for the Senior Notes and the indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Hertz and its restricted subsidiaries, described in the respective indentures, to incur more debt, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with Hertz’s affiliates. The indenture for the Senior Subordinated Notes also contains subordination provisions and limitations on the types of senior subordinated debt that may be incurred. The indentures also contain certain mandatory and optional prepayment or redemption provisions and provide for customary events of default.

The restrictive covenants in the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes permit Hertz to make loans, advances, dividends or distributions to Hertz Holdings in an amount determined by reference to consolidated net income for the period from October 1, 2005 to the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which consolidated financial statements of Hertz are available, so long as Hertz’s consolidated coverage ratio remains greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 after giving pro forma effect to such restricted payments. Hertz is also permitted to make restricted payments to Hertz Holdings in an amount not exceeding the greater of a specified minimum amount and 1% of consolidated tangible assets (which payments are deducted in determining the amount available as described in the preceding sentence), and in an amount equal to certain equity contributions to Hertz. Hertz is also permitted to make restricted payments to its parent company in an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by The Hertz Corporation through a contribution to equity capital from such offering to enable the public parent company to pay dividends to its stockholders.

Fleet Financing

U.S. Fleet Debt.   In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, or “HVF,” a < /font>bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity wholly-owned by Hertz, entered into an amended and restated base indenture, or the “ABS Indenture,” dated as of the Closing Da te, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee, and a number of related supplements to the ABS Indenture, each dated as of the Closing Date, with BNY Midwest Trust Company as trustee and securities intermediary, or, collectively, the “ABS Supplement.” On the Closing Date, HVF, as issuer, issued approximately $4,300.0 million < /font>of new medium term asset-backed notes consisting of 11 classes of notes in two series under the ABS Supplement. HVF also issued approximately $1,500.0 million of variable funding notes in two series, none of which were funded at closing. As of December 31, 2006, $4,299.9 million,

121




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

net of a $0.1 million discount, in medium term notes were outstanding and no aggregate borrowings were outstanding in the form of variable funding notes.

Each class of notes matures three, four or five years from the Closing Date. The variable funding notes will be funded through the bank multi-seller commercial paper market. The assets of HVF, including the U.S. car rental fleet owned by HVF and certain related assets, collateralize the U.S. Fleet Debt and pre-Acquisition ABS Notes. Consequently, these assets will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz’s general creditors.

The various series of U.S. Fleet Debt have either fixed or floating rates of interest. The interest rate per annum applicable to any floating rate notes (other than any variable funding asset-backed debt) is based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to one-month LIBOR plus a spread, although HVF intends to maintain hedging transactions so that it will not be required to pay a rate in excess of 4.87% per annum in order to receive the LIBOR amounts due from time to time on such floating rate notes. The interest rate per annum applicable to any variable funding asset-backed debt is either the blended average commercial paper rate, if funded through the commercial paper market, or if commercial paper is not being issued, the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate, or if requisite notice is provided, the Eurodollar rate plus a spread.

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF and Hertz entered into seven interest rate swap agreements, or the “HVF Swaps,” effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 25, 2011. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the fair value of the HVF Swaps were $50.6 million and $37.0 million, respectively, which are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a benefit of $1.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations, in “Interest, net of interest income,” associated with previously recognized ineffectiveness of the HVF Swaps.

The U.S. Fleet Debt issued on the closing date of the Acquisition has the benefit of financial guaranty insurance policies under which either MBIA Insurance Corporation or Ambac Assurance Corporation will guarantee the timely payment of interest on and ultimate payment of principal of such notes.

HVF is subject to numerous restrictive covenants under the ABS Indenture and the other agreements governing the U.S. Fleet Debt, including restrictive covenants with respect to liens, indebtedness, benefit plans, mergers, disposition of assets, acquisition of assets, dividends, officers’ compensation, investments, agreements, the types of business it may conduct and other customary covenants for a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. The U.S. Fleet Debt is subject to events of default and amortization events that are customary in nature for U.S. rental car asset backed securitizations of this type. The occurrence of an amortization event or event of default could result in the acceleration of principal of the notes and a liquidation of the U.S. car rental fleet.

International Fleet Debt.   In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz International, Ltd., or “HIL,” a Delaware corporation organized as a foreign subsidiary holding company and a direct subsidiary of Hertz, and certain of its subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States), together with certain bankruptcy-remote special purpose entities (whether organized as HIL’s subsidiaries or as non-affiliated “orphan” companies), or “SPEs,” entered into revolving bridge loan facilities providing

122




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

commitments to lend, in various currencies up to an aggregate foreign currency equivalent of approximately $3,197.0 million (calculated as of December 31, 2006), subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of HIL’s subsidiaries (all of which are organized outside the United States) or one or more SPEs, as the case may be, and rental equipment and related assets of certain of HIL’s subsidiaries organized outside North America or one or more SPEs, as the case may be. As of December 31, 2006, the foreign currency equivalent of $1,954.6 million in borrowings was outstanding under these facilities, net of a $4.4 million discount. These facilities are referred to collectively as the “International Fleet Debt Facilities.”

The International Fleet Debt Facilities consist of four revolving loan tranches (Tranches A1, A2, B and C), each subject to borrowing bases comprising the revenue earning equipment and related assets of each applicable borrower (or, in the case of a borrower that is a SPE on-lending loan proceeds to a fleet-owning SPE or subsidiary, as the case may be, the rental vehicles and related assets of such fleet-owning SPE or subsidiary). A portion of the Tranche C loan will be available for the issuance of letters of credit.

The obligations of the borrowers under the International Fleet Debt Facilities are guaranteed by HIL, and by the other borrowers and certain related entities under the applicable tranche, in each case subject to certain legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations. The obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans are subordinated to the obligations and the guarantees of the obligations of such borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans. Subject to legal, tax, cost and other structuring considerations and to certain exceptions, the International Fleet Debt Facilities are secured by a material part of the assets of each borrower, certain related entities and each guarantor, including pledges of the capital stock of each borrower and certain related entities. The obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A2 loans and the guarantees thereof are secured on a junior second priority basis by any assets securing the obligations of the Tranche A borrowers under the Tranche A1 loans and the guarantees thereof. In addition, Hertz has guaranteed the obligations of its Brazilian subsidiary with respect to an aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B loan not exceeding $52.0 million (or such other principal amount as may be agreed to by the Senior Credit Facilities lenders). That guarantee is secured equally and ratably with borrowings under the Senior Term Facility. The assets that collateralize the International Fleet Debt Facilities will not be available to satisfy the claims of Hertz’s general creditors.

The facilities under each of the tranches mature five years from the Closing Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the loans are subject to mandatory prepayment and reduction in commitment amounts equal to the net proceeds of specified types of take-out financing transactions and asset sales.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the International Fleet Debt Facilities are based on fluctuating rates of interest measured by reference to one-month LIBOR, EURIBOR or their equivalents for local currencies as appropriate (in the case of the Tranche A1 and A2 loans); relevant local currency base rates (in the case of Tranche B loans); or one-month EURIBOR (in the case of the Tranche C loans), in each case plus a borrowing margin. In addition, the borrowers under each of Tranche A1, Tranche A2, Tranche B and Tranche C of the International Fleet Debt Facilities will pay fees on the unused commitments of the lenders under the applicable tranche, and other customary fees and expenses in respect of such facilities, and the Tranche A1 and A2 borrowing margins are subject to increase if HIL does not repay borrowings thereunder within specified periods of time and upon the occurrence of other specified events.

The International Fleet Debt Facilities contain a number of covenants (including, without limitation, covenants customary for transactions similar to the International Fleet Debt Facilities) that, among

123




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

other things, limit or restrict the ability of HIL, the borrowers and the other subsidiaries of HIL to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, make negative pledges, change the nature of their business or engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, HIL is restricted from making dividends and other restricted payments (which may include payments of intercompany indebtedness) in an amount greater than 100 million plus a specified excess cash flow amount calculated by reference to excess cash flow in earlier periods. Subject to certain exceptions, until the later of one year from the Closing Date and such time as 50% of the commitments under the International Fleet Debt Facilities as of the closing of the Acquisition have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, the specified excess cash flow amount will be zero. Thereafter, this specified excess cash flow amount will be between 50% and 100% of cumulative excess cash flow based on the percentage of the International Fleet Debt Facilities that have been replaced by permanent take-out international asset-based facilities. As a result of the contractual restrictions on HIL’s ability to pay dividends to Hertz as of December 31, 2006, the restricted net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our total consolidated net assets.

The subsidiaries conducting the car rental business in certain European jurisdictions may, at their option, continue to engage in capital lease financings relating to revenue earning equipment outside the International Fleet Debt Facilities. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were $33.2 million and $95.6 million, respectively, of such capital lease financings outstanding. These capital lease financings are included in the International Fleet Debt total.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for 3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions give HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of 600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the swaptions was 1.3 million (or $1.7 million), which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” During the year ended December 31, 2006, the fair value adjustment related to these swaps was a loss of $2.6 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. The swaptions were renewed in 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration date of March 15, 2007 and now expire on September 5, 2007. See Note 16—Subsequent Events.

On March 21, 2007, certain amendments to the International Fleet Debt Facilities were entered into for the purpose of, among other things, extending the dates when margins on the affected facilities are scheduled to step up. See Note 16—Subsequent Events.

Fleet Financing Facility.   On September 29, 2006, Hertz and PUERTO RICANCARS, INC., a Puerto Rican corporation and wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Hertz, or ‘‘PR Cars,’’ entered into a credit agreement to finance the acquisition of Hertz’s and/or PR Cars’ fleet in Hawaii, Kansas, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, dated as of September 29, 2006, or the ‘‘Fleet Financing Facility,’’ with the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders, GELCO Corporation d.b.a. GE Fleet Services, or the ‘‘Fleet Financing Agent,’’ as administrative agent, as collateral agent for collateral owned by Hertz and as collateral agent for collateral owned by PR Cars. Affiliates of Merrill Lynch & Co. are lenders under the Fleet Financing Facility.

The Fleet Financing Facility provides (subject to availability under a borrowing base) a revolving credit facility of up to $275.0 million to Hertz and PR Cars. On September 29, 2006, Hertz borrowed $124.0 million under this facility to refinance other debt. The borrowing base formula is subject to downward adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events and (in certain other instances) at the permitted

124




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

discretion of the Fleet Financing Agent. As of December 31, 2006, Hertz and PR Cars had $144.9 million (net of a $2.1 million discount) and $21.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding.

The Fleet Financing Facility will mature on December 21, 2011, but Hertz and PR Cars may terminate or reduce the commitments of the lenders thereunder at any time. The Fleet Financing Facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amount by which outstanding extensions of credit to Hertz or PR Cars exceed the lesser of the Hertz or PR Cars borrowing base, as applicable, and the commitments then in effect.

The obligations of each of the borrowers under the Fleet Financing Facility are guaranteed by each of Hertz’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries whose only material assets consist of securities and debt of foreign subsidiaries and related assets, subsidiaries involved in the ABS Program or other similar special purpose financings, subsidiaries with minority ownership positions, certain subsidiaries of foreign subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries). In addition, the obligations of PR Cars are guaranteed by Hertz. The obligations of Hertz under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents, including, without limitation, its guarantee of PR Cars’ obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility, are secured by security interests in Hertz’s rental car fleet in Hawaii and by certain assets related to Hertz’s rental car fleet in Hawaii and Kansas, including, without limitation, manufacturer repurchase program agreements. PR Cars’ obligations under the Fleet Financing Facility and the other loan documents are secured by security interests in PR Cars’ rental car fleet in Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and by certain assets related thereto.

At the applicable borrower’s election, the interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the Fleet Financing Facility will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to either (1) LIBOR plus a borrowing margin of 125 basis points or (2) an alternate base rate of the prime rate plus a borrowing margin of 25 basis points. As of December 31, 2006, the average interest rate was 6.6% (LIBOR based).

The Fleet Financing Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers and their subsidiaries to create liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers, enter into agreements which restrict liens on the Fleet Financing Facility collateral or Hertz’s rental car fleet in Kansas or change the nature of their business.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain of the documents relating to the Fleet Financing Facility were amended to make certain technical and administrative changes.

Hertz Holdings Loan Facility

On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a loan facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. or affiliates thereof, providing for a loan of $1.0 billion, or the “Hertz Holdings Loan Facility,” for the purpose of paying a special cash dividend to the holders of its common stock and paying fees and expenses related to the facility. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was repaid in full with the proceeds of our initial public offering, and the restrictive covenants contained therein were terminated.

Pre-Acquisition Debt

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $633.5 million (net of a $5.5 million discount) outstanding in pre-Acquisition promissory notes issued under three separate indentures at an average interest rate of 7.2%. These pre-Acquisition promissory notes have maturities ranging from 2007 to 2028.

125




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately 7.6 million (or $10.0 million) outstanding in pre-Acquisition Euro-denominated medium term notes, in connection with which we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006 and maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro-denominated medium term notes. Funds sufficient to repay all obligations associated with the remaining 7.6 million of Euro-denominated medium term notes at maturity have been placed in escrow for satisfaction of these obligations.

We also had outstanding as of December 31, 2006 approximately $545.3 million in borrowings, net of a $10.5 million discount, consisting of pre-Acquisition ABS Notes with an average interest rate of 3.2%. These pre-Acquisition ABS Notes have maturities ranging from 2007 to 2009. See “U.S. Fleet Debt” for a discussion of the collateralization of the pre-Acquisition ABS Notes.

Credit Facilities

As of December 31, 2006, the following credit facilities were available for the use of Hertz and its subsidiaries:

·       The Senior Term Facility had $11.1 million available under the letter of credit facility. No amounts were available to refinance certain existing debt under the delayed draw facility.

·       The Senior ABL Facility had the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,600.0 million of remaining capacity, all of which was available under the borrowing base limitation and $181.8 million of which is available under the letter of credit facility sublimit.

·       The International Fleet Debt Facilities had the foreign currency equivalent of approximately $1,236.4 million of remaining capacity and $231.4 million available under the borrowing base limitation.

·       The U.S. Fleet Debt had approximately $1,500.0 million of remaining capacity and $34.3 million available under the borrowing base limitation. No additional amounts were available under the letter of credit facility.

·       The Fleet Financing Facility had approximately $107.0 million of remaining capacity and $16.5 million available under the borrowing base limitation.

As of December 31, 2006, substantially all of our assets are pledged under one or more of the facilities noted above. We are currently in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the various facilities noted above that are currently applicable to us.

Note 4—Purchases and Sales of Operations

In June 1999, Hertz entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement, or “LLC Agreement,” with a subsidiary of Orbital Sciences Corporation, or “Orbital,” whereby Navigation Solutions, L.L.C., or “Navigation Solutions,” a limited liability company, was formed to purchase NeverLost vehicle navigation systems for installation in selected vehicles in our North American fleet. In July 2001, Orbital’s subsidiary sold its membership interest in Navigation Solutions to a subsidiary of Thales North America, Inc., or “Thales.” During 2004 (prior to July 1), we received distributions of $2.0 million under the LLC Agreement, which represented our 40% ownership interest. In January 2004, along with Thales, Hertz amended the LLC Agreement to provide for Hertz to increase its ownership interest to 65% and for Navigation Solutions to purchase additional NeverLost vehicle navigation systems. For those periods prior to July 1, 2004, the results of operations and investment in this joint venture had

126




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

been reported using the equity method of accounting. On July 1, 2004, Hertz’s ownership interest in Navigation Solutions increased from 40% to 65% as a result of an equity distribution by Navigation Solutions to the other member of Navigation Solutions, effectively reducing their ownership interest to 35%. Based upon this ownership change, we began consolidating 100% of Navigation Solutions’ balance sheet and results of operations into our financial statements and deducting the minority interest share relating to the 35% member.

Note 5—Employee Retirement Benefits

Qualified U.S. employees, after completion of specified periods of service, are eligible to participate in The Hertz Corporation Account Balance Defined Benefit Pension Plan, or “Hertz Retirement Plan,” a cash balance plan. Under this qualified Hertz Retirement Plan, we pay the entire cost and employees are not required to contribute.

Most of our foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit retirement plans or participate in various insured or multiemployer plans. In certain countries, when the subsidiaries make the required funding payments, they have no further obligations under such plans. We participate in various multiemployer pension plans administered by labor unions representing some of our employees. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. Contributions to U.S. multiemployer plans were $7.7 million, $7.2 million and $7.1 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Company plans are generally funded, except for certain nonqualified U.S. defined benefit plans and in Germany, where unfunded liabilities are recorded.

We sponsor defined contribution plans for certain eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. We match contributions of participating employees on the basis specified in the plans.

We also sponsor postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a limited number of employees with hire dates prior to January 1, 1990. The postretirement health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted annually. An unfunded liability is recorded. In 2006, we recognized a liability of $1.0 million for a key officer post-retirement car benefit. This plan provides the use of a vehicle for retired Senior Vice Presidents and above who have a minimum of 20 years of service and who retired at age 58 or above.

We use a December 31 measurement date for all our plans.

The discount rate used to determine the December 31, 2006 benefit obligations for U.S. pension plans is based on an average of three indices of high quality corporate bonds whose duration closely matches that of our plans. The rates on these bond indices are adjusted to reflect callable issues. For our plans outside the U.S., the discount rate reflects the market rates for high-quality corporate bonds currently available. The discount rate in a country was determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in that country. The rate selected from the yield curve has a duration that matches our plan.

We have a long-term investment outlook for the assets held in our Company sponsored plans, which is consistent with the long-term nature of each plan’s respective liabilities. We have two major plans which reside in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

The U.S. Plan, or the “Plan,” currently has a target asset allocation of 70% equity and 30% fixed income. The equity portion of the Plan is invested in one passively managed index fund, one actively managed U.S. small/midcap fund and one actively managed international portfolio. The fixed income portion of the Plan is actively managed by a professional investment manager and is benchmarked to the Lehman Long Govt/Credit Index. The Plan currently assumes an 8.75% rate of return on assets which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return for the Plan in total. The annualized long-term performance of the Plan has generally been in excess of the long-term rate of return assumptions.

The U.K. Plan currently invests in a professionally managed Balanced Consensus Index Fund which has the investment objective of achieving a total return relatively equal to its benchmark. The benchmark is based upon the average asset weightings of a broad universe of U.K. pension funds invested in pooled investment vehicles and each of their relevant indices. The asset allocation as of December 31, 2006, was 85.0% equity and 15.0% fixed income. The U.K. Plan currently assumes a rate of return on assets of 7.3%, which represents the expected long-term annual weighted-average return.

Contributions

Our policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws, regulations, and union agreements. From time to time we make contributions beyond those legally required. In 2006, we made no discretionary cash contributions to our U.S. pension plan, while in 2005, we made discretionary cash contributions of $28.0 million to our U.S. pension plan. In 2007, we expect to contribute, at a minimum, approximately $27.8 million to our worldwide pension plans,

Note 6—Hertz Holdings Stock Incentive Plan

On February 15, 2006, the Boards of Directors of Hertz and Hertz Holdings jointly approved the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, or the “Stock Incentive Plan.” The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the sale of Hertz Holdings common stock to our executive officers, other key employees and directors as well as the grant of stock options to purchase shares of Hertz Holdings common stock to those individuals. The Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings, or a committee designated by it, selects the officers, employees and directors eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan and either the Board or the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings may determine the specific number of shares to be offered or options to be granted to an individual employee or director. A maximum of 25 million shares are reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan. We currently intend to satisfy any need for shares of our common stock associated with the exercise of options issued under the Stock Incentive Plan through those new shares reserved for issuance, not through the use of Treasury shares or open market purchases of shares. The Stock Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders of Hertz Holdings on March 8, 2006.

All option grants will be non-qualified options with a per-share exercise price no less than fair market value of one share of Hertz Holdings stock on the grant date. Any stock options granted will generally have a term of ten years, and unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee of Hertz Holdings, will vest in five equal annual installments. The Board or Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of an option at any time. In addition, vesting of options will be accelerated if Hertz Holdings experiences a change in control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) unless options with substantially equivalent terms and economic value are substituted for existing options in place of accelerated vesting. Vesting of options will also be accelerated in the event of an employee’s death or disability (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan). Upon a termination for cause (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), all options held by an employee are immediately cancelled. Following a termination without cause, vested options will generally remain exercisable through the earliest of the expiration of their term or 60 days following termination of employment (180 days in the case of death, disability or retirement at normal retirement age).

132




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the Stock Incentive Plan will remain in effect until February 15, 2016.

During the second quarter of 2006, Hertz Holdings made an equity offering to approximately 350 of our executives and key employees (not including Craig R. Koch, our former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer). The shares sold and options granted to our employees in connection with this equity offering are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The offering closed on May 5, 2006. In connection with this offering, Hertz Holdings sold 1,757,354 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and granted options to purchase an additional 2,786,354 shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share ($4.56 per share after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). In addition, on May 18, 2006, Hertz Holdings granted our key executives and employees (except for Mr. Koch) options to acquire an additional 9,515,000 shares of Hertz Holdings common stock at $10.00 per share ($4.56 per share after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006), 800,000 shares at $15.00 per share ($9.56 per share after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006) and 800,000 shares at $20.00 per share ($14.56 per share after adjustment for special cash dividends paid on June 30, 2006 and November 21, 2006). These options are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan. The $10.00 per share purchase price and exercise price was based on the Board’s determination of the fair market value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings as of the grant date, as supported by an independent third party valuation.

On June 12, 2006, Mr. Koch purchased 50,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and received options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share ($5.68 per share after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on June 30, 2006). On August 15, 2006, the options issued to Mr. Koch in June 2006 were cancelled and he was issued options to purchase 112,000 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Hertz Holdings made a payment to Mr. Koch in connection with his share purchase equal to $80,000.

On August 15, 2006, certain newly-hired employees purchased an aggregate of 20,000 shares at a price of $7.68 per share and were granted options to purchase 220,000 shares of Hertz Holdings stock at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). Also on August 15, 2006, in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Frissora purchased 1,056,338 shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at a price of $5.68, which was $2.00 below the fair market value of $7.68 on that date, and was granted options to purchase 800,000 shares of Hertz Holdings at an exercise price of $7.68 per share ($6.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006), 400,000 options at an exercise price of $10.68 per share ($9.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006) and 400,000 options at an exercise price of $15.68 per share ($14.56 after adjustment for the special cash dividend paid on November 21, 2006). All of Mr. Frissora’s options will vest 20% per year on the first five anniversaries of the date of commencement of his employment and will have a ten year term.

In September 2006, we determined that the fair value of the common stock of Hertz Holdings as of August 15, 2006 was $16.37 per share, rather than the $7.68 that had originally been determined at that time and which we used for purposes of the Stock Incentive Plan and federal income tax purposes. Consequently, we recognized compensation expense of $13.2 million, including amounts

133




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

for a tax gross-up on the initial $2.00 discount to fair market value in accordance with Mr. Frissora’s employment agreement, in the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

The five-year vesting period is the requisite service period over which compensation cost will be recognized for all grants except the one to Mr. Koch. For all grants except the one for Mr. Koch, we will recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period. For Mr. Koch, all of the compensation costs were recognized over his expected service period in 2006. The options will be accounted for as equity-classified awards.

The value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that incorporates the assumptions noted in the following table. Because the stock of Hertz Holdings was not publicly traded at the time of these grants, we have used the calculated value method, substituting the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index for the expected volatility of Hertz Holdings’ common stock price as an assumption in the valuation model. We measure the compensation cost related to employee stock options based on the calculated value instead of fair value of the options because we cannot reasonably estimate the volatility of Hertz Holdings’ common stock. We selected the Dow Jones Specialized Consumer Services sub-sector within the consumer services industry, and we used the U.S. large capitalization component, which includes the top 70% of the index universe (by market value).

The calculation of the historical volatility of the index was made using the daily historical closing values of the index for the preceding 6.5 years, because that is the expected term of the options using the simplified approach allowed under SAB No. 107.

The risk-free interest rate is the implied zero-coupon yield for U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity of 6.5 years as of the grant date, which is the expected term of the options. The assumed dividend yield is zero. We assume that each year 1% of the options that are outstanding but not vested will be forfeited because of employee attrition.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, we recognized compensation cost of approximately $13.8 million ($8.3 million, net of tax), and, as of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $106.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted by Hertz Holdings under the Stock Incentive Plan, including costs related to modifying the exercise prices of certain option grants in order to preserve the intrinsic value of the options, consistent with applicable tax law, to reflect the special cash dividend of $4.32 per share that was paid on June 30, 2006 and $1.12 that was paid on November 21, 2006. These remaining costs are expected to be recognized over the remaining 4.4 years of the five-year requisite service period that began on the grant dates.

Depreciation rates being used to compute the provision for depreciation of revenue earning equipment were decreased for all vehicles effective January 1, 2006 in our domestic car rental operations and in our U.S. and Canadian equipment rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values to be realized when revenue earning equipment is sold. Depreciation rates on certain vehicles were increased effective October 1, 2006 in our domestic car rental operations. Depreciation rates were also decreased effective April 1, 2006 in our French equipment rental operations. Depreciation rates were increased during 2006 in our international car rental operations to reflect changes in the estimated residual values of vehicles. The rate changes resulted in a net reduction of $3.7 million in our domestic car rental depreciation expense, a net reduction of $15.3 million in our combined U.S. and Canadian equipment rental operations depreciation expense, a net reduction of $3.1 million in our French equipment rental operations depreciation expense and a net increase of $9.0 million in our international car rental operations depreciation expense.

As a result of the Acquisition, the net book value of our revenue earning equipment was adjusted to its estimated fair value, resulting in a net increase of $93.1 million. This net increase in net book value resulted in an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $13.8 million and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, deferred tax assets of $371.3 million related to U.S. Net Operating Loss, or “NOL,” carryforwards of $836.9 million were recorded. These NOLs begin to expire in 2025.

At December 31, 2006, deferred tax assets of $40.4 million related to foreign NOL carryforwards were recorded. All of these NOLs have an indefinite carryforward period. A valuation allowance of $31.2 million at December 31, 2006 was recorded against the deferred tax asset as those deferred tax assets relate to jurisdictions which have historical losses. The valuation allowance relates to the likelihood that a portion of the NOL carryforwards may not be utilized in the future.

The American Jobs Creation Act, or “the Act,” was enacted in October 2004. The Act contained a provision allowing a one-time favorable tax benefit in 2005 related to the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. During 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, $547.8 million of foreign earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries of Hertz were repatriated to the U.S. The repatriation generated $168.2 million of tax expense, of which $136.9 million was mitigated by foreign tax credits, resulting in a net tax expense of $31.3 million.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, or “FIN No. 48.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the criteria that must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors which could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties. FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained. FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Tax positions taken in prior years are being evaluated under FIN No. 48 and

The effective income tax rate on earnings before income taxes and minority interest for the successor periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 33.9% and 36.9%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the predecessor periods ended December 20, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was 33.3% and 26.6%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2004 was attributable to an audit settlement of the 1999 through 2003 income tax years.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately $417.0 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries existed for which U.S. deferred taxes have not been recorded because it is management’s current intention to permanently reinvest these undistributed earnings offshore. If in the future these earnings are repatriated to the United States, or it is determined such earnings will be repatriated in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions will be recorded.

Note 10—Segment Information

We follow SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” The statement requires companies to disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance.

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers, and delivery methods. We have identified two reportable segments: rental of cars and light trucks, or “car rental”; and rental of industrial, construction and material handling equipment, or “equipment rental.” The contribution of these segments, as well as “corporate and other,” for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 are summarized below (in millions of dollars). “Corporate and other” includes general corporate expenses, certain interest expense (including, in Successor periods, net interest on corporate debt), as well as other business activities, such as our third party claim management services.

Note 11—Litigation and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

Fuel—Related Class Actions

We are a defendant in four purported class actions—filed in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Nevada—in which the plaintiffs have put forth alternate theories to challenge the application of our Fuel and Service Charge, or “FSC,” on rentals of cars that are returned with less fuel than when rented.

1. Texas

On March 15, 2004, Jose M. Gomez, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was commenced in the 214th Judicial District Court of Nueces County, Texas. Gomez purports to be a class action filed alternatively on behalf of all persons who were charged a FSC by us or all Texas residents who were charged a FSC by us. The petition alleged that the FSC is an unlawful penalty and that, therefore, it is void and unenforceable. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and our actual costs, disgorgement of unearned profits, attorneys’ fees and costs. In response to various motions by us, the plaintiff filed two amended petitions which scaled back the putative class from a nationwide class to a class of all Texas residents who were charged a FSC by us or by our Corpus Christi licensee. A new cause of action was also added for conversion for which the plaintiff is seeking punitive damages. After some limited discovery, we filed a motion for summary judgment in December 2004. That motion was denied in January 2005. The parties then engaged in more extensive discovery. In April 2006, the plaintiff further amended his petition by adding a cause of action for fraudulent misrepresentation and, at the plaintiff’s request, a hearing on the plaintiff’s motion for class certification was scheduled for August 2006. In May 2006, the plaintiff filed a fourth amended petition which deleted the cause of action for conversion and the plaintiff also filed a first amended motion for class certification in anticipation of the August 2006 hearing on class certification. After the hearing, the plaintiff filed a fifth amended petition seeking to further refine the putative class as including all Texas residents who were charged a FSC in Texas after February 6, 2000. In October 2006, the judge entered a class certification order which certified a class of all Texas residents who were charged an FSC in Texas after February 6, 2000. We are appealing the order.

2. Oklahoma

On November 18, 2004, Keith Kochner, individually and on behalf of all similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was commenced in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma. As with the Gomez case, Kochner purports to be a class action, this time on behalf of Oklahoma residents who rented from us and incurred our FSC. The petition alleged that the imposition of the FSC is a breach of contract and amounts to an unconscionable penalty or liquidated damages in violation of Article 2A of the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and our actual costs, disgorgement of unearned profits, attorneys’ fees and costs. In March 2005, the trial court granted our motion to dismiss the action but also granted the plaintiff the right to replead. In April 2005, the plaintiff filed an amended class action petition, newly alleging that our FSC violates the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act and that we have been unjustly enriched, and again alleging that our FSC is unconscionable under Article 2A of the Oklahoma Uniform Commercial Code. In May 2005, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended class action petition. In October 2005, the court granted our motion to dismiss, but allowed the plaintiff to file a second amended complaint and we then answered the complaint. Discovery has now commenced.

3. New Mexico

On December 13, 2005, Janelle Johnson, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons v. The Hertz Corporation was filed in the Second Judicial District Court of the County of Bernalillo, New Mexico. As with the Gomez and Kochner cases, Johnson purports to be a class action, this time on behalf of all New Mexico residents who rented from us and who were charged a FSC. The complaint alleges that the FSC is unconscionable as a matter of law under pertinent sections of the New Mexico Uniform Commercial Code and that, under New Mexico common law, the collection of FSC does not constitute valid liquidated damages, but rather is a void penalty. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, with the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and its actual cost. In the alternative, the plaintiff requests that the court exercise its equitable jurisdiction and order us to cease and desist from our unlawful conduct and to modify our lease provisions to conform with applicable provisions of New Mexico statutory and common law. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. We have removed the action to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico and, in lieu of an answer, filed a motion to dismiss. In November 2006, the judge granted our motion to dismiss the liquidated damages claim and the substantive unconscionability claim but did not grant our motion to dismiss the procedural unconscionability claim or the claim for equitable relief. Plaintiff then amended her complaint to replead the unconscionability claim and to add a fraudulent misrepresentation claim. In December 2006, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and, in January 2007, the court quickly dismissed the new fraud claim and reaffirmed the dismissal of the substantive unconscionability claim. In February 2007, the plaintiff dismissed the case with prejudice.

4. Nevada

On January 10, 2007, Marlena Guerra, individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated persons, v. The Hertz Corporation was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. As with the Gomez and Kochner cases, Guerra purports to be a class action on behalf of all individuals and business entities who rented vehicles at Las Vegas McCarran International

144




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Airport and were charged a FSC. The complaint alleged that those customers who paid the FSC were fraudulently charged a surcharge required for fuel in violation of Nevada’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiff also alleged the FSC violates the Nevada Uniform Commercial Code, or “UCC,” since it is unconscionable and operates as an unlawful liquidated damages provision. Finally, the plaintiff claimed that we breached our own rental agreement—which the plaintiff claims to have been modified so as not to violate Nevada law—by charging the FSC, since such charges violate the UCC and/or the prohibition against fuel surcharges. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, including the return of all FSC paid or the difference between the FSC and its actual costs, plus prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. In March 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss.

Other Consumer or Supplier Class Actions

1. HERC LDW

On August 15, 2006, Davis Landscape, Ltd., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, or “HERC,” was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Davis Landscape, Ltd., purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons and business entities who rented equipment from HERC and who paid a Loss Damage Waiver, or “LDW,” charge. The complaint alleges that the LDW is deceptive and unconscionable as a matter of law under pertinent sections of New Jersey law, including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code. The plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of statutory damages under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, an unspecified amount of compensatory damages with the return of all LDW charges paid, declaratory relief and an injunction prohibiting HERC from engaging in acts with respect to the LDW charge that violate the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. In October 2006, we filed an answer to the complaint. In November 2006, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding an additional plaintiff, Miguel V. Pro, an individual residing in Texas, and new claims relating to HERC’s charging of an “Environmental Recovery Fee.” Causes of action for breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing were also added. In January 2007, we filed an answer to the amended complaint. Discovery has now commenced.

2. Concession Fee Recoveries

On October 13, 2006, Janet Sobel, Daniel Dugan Ph.D., and Lydia Lee, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. The Hertz Corporation and Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. Sobel purports to be a nationwide class action on behalf of all persons who rented cars from Hertz or Enterprise at airports in Nevada and whom Hertz or Enterprise charged airport concession recovery fees. The complaint alleged that the airport concession recovery fees violate certain provisions of Nevada law, including Nevada’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, restitution of any charges found to be improper and an injunction prohibiting Hertz and Enterprise from quoting or charging any of the fees prohibited by Nevada law. The complaint also asks for attorneys’ fees and costs. In November 2006, the plaintiffs and Enterprise stipulated and agreed that claims against Enterprise would be dismissed without prejudice. In January 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss.

We believe that we have meritorious defenses in the foregoing matters and will defend ourselves vigorously.

145




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In addition, we are currently a defendant in numerous actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have not yet been commenced for public liability and property damage arising from the operation of motor vehicles and equipment rented from us and our licensees. In the aggregate, we can be expected to expend material sums to defend and settle public liability and property damage actions and claims or to pay judgments resulting from them.

On February 19, 2007, The Hertz Corporation and TSD Rental LLC v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and The Crawford Group, Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In this action, we and our co-plaintiff seek damages and injunctive relief based upon allegations that Enterprise and its corporate parent, The Crawford Group, Inc., unlawfully engaged in anticompetitive and unfair and deceptive business practices by claiming to customers of Hertz that once Enterprise obtains a patent that it has applied for relating to its insurance replacement reservation system, Hertz will be prevented from using the co-plaintiff’s EDiCAR system, which Hertz currently uses in its insurance replacement business. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Enterprise’s threats are improper because the Enterprise patent, once issued, should be invalid and unenforceable.

In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us and our subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows but it could be material in the period in which it is recorded.

Guarantees

At December 31, 2006, the following guarantees (including indemnification commitments) were issued and outstanding.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to the following: environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third party claim. We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and have accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnifications for which payments are possible include the following:

Sponsors; Directors

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings’ stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, Hertz Holdings’ stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We do not

146




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

believe that these indemnifications are reasonably likely to have a material impact on us. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors.

Environmental

We have indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which we may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable losses that we expect to incur for such matters have been accrued and those losses are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Other accrued liabilities” were $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including ongoing maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the site. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as our connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

(18)     Includes a $31.3 million provision relating to the repatriation of foreign earnings and favorable foreign tax adjustments of $5.3 million relating to years prior to 2005.

Note 13—Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash equivalents, short term investments and trade receivables. We place our cash equivalents with a number of financial institutions and investment funds to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base, and their dispersion across different businesses and geographic areas. As of December 31, 2006, we had no significant concentration of credit risk.

Cash and Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Fair value approximates cost indicated on the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Debt

For borrowings with an initial maturity of 93 days or less, fair value approximates carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. For all other debt, fair value is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and average maturities. The aggregate fair value of all debt at December 31, 2006 approximated $12.5 billion, compared to its aggregate carrying value of $12.4 billion. Since all debt was recorded at fair value on December 21, 2005 due to the Acquisition, the fair value approximated carrying value at December 31, 2005.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize certain derivative instruments to enhance our ability to manage risk relating to cash flow and interest rate exposure. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures. We document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. Effective September 30, 2003, we entered into interest rate swap agreements relating to the issuance of our 4.7% notes due October 2, 2006. Effective June 3, 2004, we entered into interest rate swap agreements relating to the issuance of our 6.35% notes due June 15, 2010. Under these agreements, we paid interest at a variable rate in exchange for fixed rate receipts, effectively transforming these notes to floating rate obligations. As a result of the Acquisition, a significant portion of the underlying fixed rate debt was tendered, causing the interest rate swaps to be ineffective as of December 21, 2005. Consequently, any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recognized in the statement of operations. Between December 21, 2005 (the date the hedge accounting was discontinued) and December 31, 2005, the fair value adjustment related to these interest rate swaps was a gain of $2.7 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. During January 2006, we assigned these interest rate swaps to a third party in return for cash. As a result of the assignment of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a gain of $1.0 million, which is reflected in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. See Note 12 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

In connection with the Acquisition and the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, HVF and Hertz entered into seven interest rate swap agreements, or the “HVF swaps,” effective December 21, 2005, which qualify as cash flow hedging instruments in accordance with SFAS 133. The HVF swaps were entered into for the purpose of locking in the interest cash outflows on the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt. These agreements mature at various terms, in connection with the scheduled maturity of the associated debt obligations, through November 25, 2011. Under these agreements, HVF pays monthly interest at a fixed rate of 4.5% per annum in exchange for monthly amounts at one-month LIBOR, effectively transforming the floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt to fixed rate obligations. For the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, we recognized $1.0 million of interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations, which resulted from the inherent ineffectiveness associated with the HVF swaps, as these interest rate swaps were entered into at off-market rates. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a benefit of $1.0 million in our consolidated statement of operations associated with previously recognized ineffectiveness of the HVF Swaps. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of HVF swaps was $50.6 million, which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” Additionally, as of December 31, 2006, $3.5 million, net of $2.4 million of tax, was reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

Also in connection with the issuance of $3,550.0 million of floating rate U.S. Fleet Debt, Hertz entered into seven differential interest rate swap agreements, or the “differential swaps.” These differential swaps were required to be put in place to protect the counterparties to the HVF swaps in the event of a default by HVF on the asset backed notes, which will cause a “rapid amortization” of the notes. In

150




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the event of a “rapid amortization period,” the differential is transferred to Hertz. There was no initial payment associated with these differential swaps and their notional amounts are and will continue to be zero unless 1) there is an amortization event, which causes the rapid amortization of the loan balance, 2) there is an increased probability that an amortization event will occur, which would cause the rapid amortization of the loan balance, or 3) the debt is prepaid. Given this and that the initial assessment of the probability of the occurrence of an amortization event is considered remote, the current fair value of the differential swaps is considered to be zero. Should any of the above events occur, then the differential swaps will have a fair value, which will result in the differential swaps being recorded at fair value on the balance sheet, with a corresponding amount affecting earnings, as there is no qualifying hedge relationship.

In connection with our Euro-denominated medium term notes that were not tendered to us in connection with the Acquisition, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on December 21, 2005, effective January 16, 2006, maturing on July 16, 2007. The purpose of this interest rate swap is to lock in the interest cash outflows at a fixed rate of 4.1% on the variable rate Euro-denominated medium term notes. As the critical terms of the swap and remaining portion of the Euro-denominated medium term notes match, the swap qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting and the shortcut method of assessing effectiveness, in accordance with SFAS 133. Therefore, the fair value of the swap will be carried on the balance sheet, with offsetting gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of this swap was $0.1 million.

In May 2006, in connection with the forecasted issuance of the permanent take-out international asset-based facilities, HIL purchased two swaptions for 3.3 million, to protect itself from interest rate increases. These swaptions give HIL the right, but not the obligation, to enter into three year interest rate swaps, based on a total notional amount of 600 million at an interest rate of 4.155%. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of the swaptions was 1.3 million (or $1.7 million), which is reflected in our consolidated balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.” During the year ended December 31, 2006, the fair value adjustment related to these swaps was a loss of $2.6 million, which was recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. The swaptions were renewed in 2007 prior to their scheduled expiration date of March 15, 2007 and now expire on September 5, 2007. See Note 16—Subsequent Events.

Foreign Currency Risk

We manage our foreign currency risk primarily by incurring, to the extent practicable, operating and financing expenses in the local currency in the countries in which we operate, including making fleet and equipment purchases and borrowing for working capital needs. Also, we have purchased foreign exchange options to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for selected marketing programs. At December 31, 2006, the total notional amount of these foreign exchange options was $9.7 million, maturing at various dates in 2007, and the fair value of all outstanding foreign exchange options, was approximately $0.3 million. The fair value of the foreign currency options were estimated using market prices provided by financial institutions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these options are included in our results of operations. The total notional amount included options to buy Euro in the amount of $5.9 million and sell yen and Canadian dollars in the amounts of $2.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

We also manage exposure to fluctuations in currency risk on intercompany loans we make to certain of our subsidiaries by entering into foreign currency forward contracts, or “forwards,” at the time of the loans. The forward rate is reflected in the intercompany loan rate to the subsidiaries, and as a result, the forwards have no material impact on our results of operations. At December 31, 2006, the total

151




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

notional amount of these forwards was $252.7 million, maturing within one month. The total notional amount includes forwards to sell Canadian dollars and Euro in the notional amounts of $189.1 million and $63.7 million, respectively.

In connection with the Transactions, Hertz issued 225 million of unhedged Senior Euro Notes. Prior to October 1, 2006, our Senior Euro Notes were not designated as a net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investments in our foreign operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred unrealized exchange transaction losses of $19.2 million resulting from the translation of these Euro-denominated notes into the U.S. dollar, which are recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses. On October 1, 2006, we designated our Senior Euro Notes as an effective net investment hedge of our Euro-denominated net investment in our foreign operations. As a result of this net investment hedge designation, as of December 31, 2006, $7.1 million of losses, which is net of tax of $4.6 million, attributable to the translation of our Senior Euro Notes into the U.S. dollar are recorded in our consolidated balance sheet in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

Relationship with Ford

Prior to the Acquisition, we were an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ford. We and certain of our subsidiaries had entered into contracts, or other transactions or relationships, with Ford or subsidiaries of Ford, the most significant of which are described below.

Car purchases/repurchases and advertising arrangements

Over the three years ended December 31, 2006, on a weighted average basis, approximately 41% of the cars acquired by us for our U.S. car rental fleet, and approximately 32% of the cars acquired by us for our international fleet, were manufactured by Ford and subsidiaries. During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 40% of the cars we acquired domestically were manufactured by Ford and subsidiaries and approximately 30% of the cars we acquired for our international fleet were manufactured by Ford and subsidiaries, which represented the largest percentage of any automobile manufacturer in that year.

On July 5, 2005, Hertz, one of its wholly owned subsidiaries and Ford signed a Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, effective July 5, 2005 and expiring August 31, 2010, that covers the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years. This agreement replaces and supersedes previously existing joint advertising and vehicle supply agreements that would have expired August 31, 2007.

The terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement only apply to our fleet requirements and advertising in the United States and to Ford, Lincoln or Mercury brand vehicles, or “Ford Vehicles.” Under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, Ford has agreed to supply to us and we have agreed to purchase from Ford, during each of the 2005 through 2010 vehicle model years, a specific number of Ford Vehicles. Ford has also agreed in the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement to pay us a contribution toward the cost of our advertising of Ford Vehicles equal to one-half of our total expenditure on such advertising, up to a specified maximum amount. To be eligible for advertising cost contribution under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement, the advertising must meet certain conditions, including the condition that we feature Ford Vehicles in a manner and with a prominence that is reasonably satisfactory to Ford. It further provides that the amounts Ford will be obligated to pay to us for our advertising costs will be increased or reduced according to the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in any model year, provided Ford will not be required to pay any

152




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

amount for our advertising costs for any year if the number of Ford Vehicles acquired by us in the corresponding model year is less than a specified minimum except to the extent that our failure to acquire the specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles is attributable to the availability of Ford Vehicles or Ford vehicle production is disrupted for reasons beyond the control of Ford. To the extent we acquire less than a specified minimum number of Ford Vehicles in any model year, we have agreed to pay Ford a specified amount per vehicle below the minimum.

The amounts contributed by Ford for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 were (in millions of dollars) $42.7, $1.3, $42.4 and $38.1, respectively. The advertising contributions paid by Ford for the 2006 vehicle model year under the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement were more than the advertising contributions we received from Ford for the 2005 model year due to an increase in the number of Ford Vehicles acquired and an increase in the per car contribution. We expect that contributions in future years will be below levels for the 2006 model year based upon anticipated reductions in the number of Ford Vehicles to be acquired. We do not expect that the reductions in Ford’s advertising contributions will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We incurred net advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 of (in millions of dollars) $154.5, $5.0, $159.9 and $168.3, respectively.

Under the terms of the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement we will be able to enter into vehicle advertising and supply agreements with other automobile manufacturers in the United States and in other countries, and we intend to explore those opportunities. However, we cannot offer assurance that we will be able to obtain advertising contributions from other automobile manufacturers that will mitigate the reduction in Ford’s advertising contributions.

Ford subsidiaries and affiliates also supply other brands of cars, including Jaguar, Volvo, Mazda and Land Rover cars, to us in the United States under arrangements separate from the Master Supply and Advertising Agreement. In addition, Ford, its subsidiaries and affiliates are significant suppliers of cars to our international operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Successor period ended December 31, 2005, the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased cars from Ford and its subsidiaries at a cost of approximately (in billions of dollars) $4.1, $0.1, $4.7 and $4.4, respectively, and sold cars to Ford and its subsidiaries under various repurchase programs for approximately (in billions of dollars) $3.1, $0.1, $3.5 and $3.3, respectively.

Stock option plan

Certain employees of ours participate in the stock option plan of Ford under Ford’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. As a result of the Acquisition, all outstanding options became vested. See Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Taxes

Prior to the Acquisition, Hertz and its domestic subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return with Ford. Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement, or the “Agreement,” with Ford, current and deferred taxes were reported, and paid to Ford, as if Hertz had filed its own consolidated tax returns with its domestic subsidiaries. The Agreement provided that Hertz was reimbursed for foreign tax credits in accordance with the utilization of those credits by the Ford consolidated tax group.

153




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

On December 21, 2005, in connection with the Acquisition, the Agreement with Ford was terminated. Upon termination, all tax payables and receivables with Ford were cancelled and neither Hertz nor Ford has any future rights or obligations under the Agreement. Hertz may be exposed to tax liabilities attributable to periods it was a consolidated subsidiary of Ford. While Ford has agreed to indemnify Hertz for certain tax liabilities pursuant to the arrangements relating to our separation from Ford, we cannot offer assurance that payments in respect of the indemnification agreement will be available.

Other relationships and transactions

We and Ford also engage in other transactions in the ordinary course of our respective businesses. These transactions include providing equipment rental services to Ford, our providing insurance and insurance claim management services to Ford and our providing car rental services to Ford. In addition, Ford subsidiaries are our car rental licensees in Scandinavia and Finland.

Relationship with Hertz Investors, Inc. and the Sponsors

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a stockholders agreement, or the “Stockholders Agreement,” with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Stockholders Agreement contains agreements that entitle investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors to nominate all of our directors. The director nominees are to include three nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R (one of whom shall serve as the chairman), two nominees of investment funds associated with Carlyle, two nominees of an investment fund associated with MLGPE and three independent directors, subject to adjustment in the case that the applicable investment fund sells more than a specified amount of its shareholdings in us. Upon completion of the initial public offering of our common stock, the Stockholders Agreement was amended and restated among other things, to reflect an agreement of the Sponsors to increase the size of our Board. Each Sponsor will continue to have the right with respect to director nominees described above, but up to an additional three independent directors may also be nominated, subject to unanimous consent of the directors (other than the independent directors) nominated by the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement, as amended, provides that one of the nominees of an investment fund associated with CD&R shall serve as the chairman of the executive and governance committee and, unless otherwise agreed by this fund, as Chairman of the Board. On October 12, 2006, our Board elected four independent directors, effective from completion of the initial public offering of our common stock.

The Stockholders Agreement also granted to the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors special governance rights, including rights of approval over our budget, certain business combination transactions, the incurrence of additional material indebtedness, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and certain other transactions and grants to investment funds associated with CD&R or to the majority of directors nominated by the Sponsors the right to remove Hertz’s chief executive officer. Any replacement chief executive officer requires the consent of investment funds associated with CD&R as well as investment funds associated with at least one other Sponsor. The rights described above apply only for so long as the investment funds associated with the applicable Sponsor maintain certain specified minimum levels of shareholdings in us. The Stockholders Agreement also gives investment funds associated with the Sponsors preemptive rights with respect to certain issuances of our equity securities, including Hertz, subject to certain exceptions. It also contains restrictions on the transfer of our shares, as well as tag-along and drag along rights and rights of first offer. Upon the completion of the initial public offering of our common stock, this agreement was amended and restated to remove these rights of approval (other than the

154




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

approval and retention rights relating to our chief executive officer) and preemptive rights and to retain tag-along and drag-along rights, and restrictions on transfers of our shares, in certain circumstances.

In addition, the Stockholders Agreement limits the rights of the investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors that have invested in our common stock and our affiliates, subject to several exceptions, to own, manage, operate or control any of our competitors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement). The Stockholders Agreement may be amended from time to time in the future to eliminate or modify these restrictions without our consent.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into a registration rights agreement, or the “Registration Rights Agreement,” with investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsors. The Registration Rights Agreement grants to certain of these investment funds the right, following the earlier of the initial public offering of our common stock and the eighth anniversary of the Closing Date, to cause us, at our own expense, to use our best efforts to register such securities held by the investment funds for public resale, subject to certain limitations. The exercise of this right was limited to three requests by the group of investment funds associated with each Sponsor, except for registrations effected pursuant to Form S-3, which are unlimited, subject to certain limitations, if we are eligible to use Form S-3. In the event we register any of our common stock following our initial public offering, these investment funds also have the right to require us to use our best efforts to include shares of our common stock held by them, subject to certain limitations, including as determined by the underwriters. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for us to indemnify the investment funds party to that agreement and their affiliates in connection with the registration of our securities.

Consulting agreements

Sponsor Consulting Agreements

On the Closing Date, we entered into consulting agreements, or the “Consulting Agreements,” with Hertz and each of the Sponsors (or one of their affiliates), pursuant to which such Sponsor or its affiliate agreed to provide us and our subsidiaries with financial advisory and management consulting services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreements, we or our affiliates agreed to pay to each of the three Sponsors or its affiliate an annual fee of $1 million for such services, plus expenses, unless the Sponsors unanimously agreed to a higher amount. If an individual designated by CD&R, serves as both Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer for any quarter, we agreed to pay CD&R an additional fee of $500,000 for that quarter. The Sponsor or its affiliate under each Consulting Agreement also agreed to provide us and our subsidiaries with financial, investment banking, management advisory and other agreed upon services with respect to proposed transactions, including any proposed acquisition, merger, full or partial recapitalization, reorganization of our structure or shareholdings, or sales of assets or equity interests. In connection with such transactional services, each Consulting Agreement provided that we would pay a fee (together with expenses) to be based on a percentage of the transaction value, as defined in the agreements. No transactional services fees were paid under the Consulting Agreements in connection with the initial public offering, and none were paid in connection with the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility. Each Consulting Agreement provided for termination upon the first to occur of (i) the consummation of an initial public offering by Hertz Holdings, if a majority of the Sponsor-designated directors have requested the termination of all Consulting Agreements, (ii) December 21, 2015, (iii) the date the applicable Sponsor and its affiliates cease to own at least 25% of the Hertz Holdings common stock it held on the Closing Date, and (iv) upon notice by the applicable Sponsor or its affiliate. We reevaluated our need for the Consulting Agreements in connection with the initial public offering. In connection with this reevaluation, we

155




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

determined it would be in our best interest to terminate the Consulting Agreements following the consummation of our initial public offering, and the Sponsors agreed to terminate these agreements at that time for a fee of $5 million ($15 million in the aggregate) which is recorded in our consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses.

Other Consulting Arrangements

On September 29, 2006, Hertz entered into an agreement with Tenzing Consulting LLC, a management consulting firm in which Thomas McLeod, who is the brother-in-law of our director David H. Wasserman, is a principal. Under the arrangement, which has now been fully performed, Tenzing Consulting LLC provided supply chain management and corporate purchasing management consulting. In exchange for these services, Tenzing Consulting LLC received fees of $25,000 per week, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the total amount of such fees and expenses paid to Tenzing Consulting LLC under this agreement was approximately $0.2 million.

Guarantees

Hertz’s obligations under the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility are guaranteed by Hertz’s immediate parent, Hertz Investors, Inc. (previously known as CCMG Corporation.) Hertz Holdings is not a guarantor of these facilities. See Note 3—Debt.

Indemnification agreements

On the Closing Date, Hertz entered into customary indemnification agreements with Hertz Holdings, the Sponsors and Hertz Holdings stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors, pursuant to which Hertz Holdings and Hertz will indemnify the Sponsors, the Hertz Holdings stockholders affiliated with the Sponsors and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of a consulting agreement with Hertz Holdings and each of the Sponsors and certain other claims and liabilities, including liabilities arising out of financing arrangements or securities offerings. We have not recorded any liability because these liabilities are considered to be de minimis.

Hertz Holdings has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. The indemnification agreements provide the directors with contractual rights to the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided under our by-laws, as well as contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreements.

Director Stock Incentive Plan

On October 12, 2006, the Board of Directors of Hertz Holdings approved a Director Stock Incentive Plan. The stockholders of Hertz Holdings approved the Director Stock Incentive Plan on October 20, 2006. The Director Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings, options to purchase shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings and “phantom shares,” which are the right to receive shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings at a specified point in the future. A maximum of 3,500,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the Director Stock Incentive Plan.

Options granted under the Director Stock Incentive Plan must be granted at an exercise price no less than fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Options granted as part of a director’s annual retainer fee will be fully vested at the time of grant and will generally have a 10-year term.

A director may generally elect to receive all or a portion of fees that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of shares of common stock of Hertz Holdings having a fair market value at such time

156




HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

equal to the amount of such fees. Any such shares will be paid to the director when cash fees would otherwise be payable, although, if a director so chooses, these shares may be payable on a tax-deferred basis in phantom shares, in which case the actual shares of the common stock of Hertz Holdings will be paid to the director promptly following the date on which he or she ceases to serve as a director (or, if earlier, upon a change in control).

A director will recognize ordinary income upon exercising options granted under the Director Stock Incentive Plan in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on the date of exercise, less the exercise price, and Hertz Holdings will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time. In the case of shares issued in lieu of cash fees, a director who is an individual will generally recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date such shares are paid to the director and Hertz Holdings will have a corresponding tax deduction at that time.

Other

In connection with the Acquisition, Hertz paid a fee of $25 million to each Sponsor and reimbursed certain expenses of the Sponsors and their affiliates. Of this amount, $35 million has been recorded as deferred finance charges and $40 million has been recorded as direct costs of the Acquisition. In addition, an affiliate of one of the Sponsors was engaged to provide advisory services to the Sponsors and was paid a fee of $5 million. This affiliate is in the business of providing such services and was engaged by the Sponsors in an arm’s-length transaction.

Financing Arrangements with Related Parties

Affiliates of ML Global Private Equity, L.P. and its related funds, which are stockholders of Hertz Holdings, and of Merrill Lynch & Co., one of the underwriters in the initial public offering of our common stock, were lenders under the Hertz Holdings Loan Facility; are lenders under the original and amended Senior Term Facility, the original and amended Senior ABL Facility and the Fleet Financing Facility; acted as initial purchasers with respect to the offerings of the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes; acted as structuring advisors and agents under Hertz’s asset-backed facilities; and acted as dealer managers and solicitation agents for Hertz’s tender offers for its existing debt securities in connection with the Acquisition. See Note 3—Debt.

Other Sponsor Relationships

In connection with our car and equipment rental businesses, we enter into millions of rental transactions every year involving millions of customers. In order to conduct those businesses, we also procure goods and services from thousands of vendors.  Some of those customers and vendors may be affiliated with the Sponsors or members of our Board of Directors. We believe that all such rental and procurement transactions have been conducted on an arms-length basis and involved terms no less favorable to us than those that we believe we would have obtained in the absence of such affiliation. It is our management’s practice to bring to the attention of our Board of Directors any transaction, even if it arises in the ordinary course of business, in which our management believes that the terms being sought by transaction participants affiliated with the Sponsors or our Directors would be less favorable to us than those to which we would agree absent such affiliation.

Note 15—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As a result of the Acquisition, our capital structure initially consisted of 229,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Earnings per share for the Predecessor period ended December 20, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 reflect our initial post-Acquisition capital structure on a consistent basis.

Note 16—Subsequent Events

Restructuring

As part of our effort to implement our strategy of reducing operating costs, we are evaluating our workforce and operations and making adjustments, including headcount reductions and process improvements to optimize work flow at rental locations and maintenance facilities as well as streamlining our back-office operations, that we believe are necessary and appropriate. When we make adjustments to our workforce and operations, we may incur incremental expenses that delay the benefit of a more efficient workforce and operating structure, but we believe that increasing our operating efficiency and reducing the costs associated with the operation of our business are important to our long-term competitiveness.

On January 5, 2007, we announced the first in a series of initiatives to further improve our competitiveness through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 200 employees primarily at our corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey and our U.S. service center in Oklahoma City. We expect to incur an estimated $3.3 million to $3.8 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2007 for severance and related costs arising from these reductions.

On February 28, 2007, we announced the second initiative to further improve our competitiveness and industry leadership through targeted job reductions affecting approximately 1,350 employees

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

primarily in our U.S. car rental operations, with much smaller reductions occurring in U.S. equipment rental operations, the corporate headquarters in Park Ridge, New Jersey, and the U.S. service center in Oklahoma City, as well as in Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. We expect to incur an estimated $9.0 million to $11.0 million restructuring charge in the first quarter of 2007 for severance and related costs arising from these reductions.

Further cost reduction initiatives are in process. We currently anticipate incurring future charges to earnings in connection with those initiatives; however, we have not yet developed detailed estimates of these expenses.

Exchange Offers

On January 12, 2007, Hertz completed exchange offers for the outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes whereby over 99% of the outstanding notes were exchanged for a like principal amount of new notes with identical terms that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4.

Amendments to the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility

On February 9, 2007, Hertz entered into an amendment to its Senior Term Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rate on the Senior Term Facility by 50 basis points from the interest rate previously in effect, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) eliminating certain mandatory prepayment requirements; (iii) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that Hertz and its subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior Term Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior Term Facility.

On February 15, 2007, Hertz, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation and certain other subsidiaries entered into an amendment to their Senior ABL Facility. The amendment was entered into for the purpose of (i) lowering the interest rate on the Senior ABL Facility by 25 basis points from the interest rate previously in effect, and revising financial ratio requirements for specific interest rate levels; (ii) increasing the availability under the Senior ABL Facility from $1,600 million to $1,800 million; (iii) extending the term of the commitments under the Senior ABL Facility to February 15, 2012; (iv) increasing the amounts of certain other types of indebtedness that the borrowers and their subsidiaries may incur outside of the Senior ABL Facility; (iv) permitting certain additional asset dispositions and sale and leaseback transactions; and (v) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the Senior ABL Facility.

Amendments to certain of the agreements relating to the International Fleet Debt Facilities

On March 21, 2007, certain of the agreements relating to the International Fleet Debt Facilities were amended and restated for the purpose of (i) extending the dates when margins on the facilities are scheduled to step up, subject to satisfaction of interim goals pertaining to the execution of agreements with automobile manufacturers and dealers that are required in connection with the planned securitization of the international car rental fleet and the take-out of the Tranche A1 and Tranche A2 loans; (ii) subject to certain conditions, permitting the financing of value-added tax receivables under the facilities; and (iii) effecting certain technical and administrative changes to the terms of the facilities.

HIL Swaption Extension and Payment

On February 8, 2007, the 600 million HIL swaptions that were to expire on March 15, 2007 were extended at a cost of 1.8 million. The HIL swaptions now expire on September 5, 2007.

HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Background and Basis of Presentation

Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., or “Hertz Holdings,” is the top-level holding company that conducts substantially all of its business operations through its indirect subsidiaries. Hertz Holdings was incorporated in Delaware on August 31, 2005 in anticipation of the December 21, 2005 acquisition by its subsidiary, Hertz Investors, Inc., of the Hertz Corporation. Hertz Holdings had no operations prior to December 21, 2005, and accordingly, its results of operations and cash flows have only been presented for the post-acquisition 11-day period ended December 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2006.

There are significant restrictions over the ability of Hertz Holdings to obtain funds from its indirect subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements have been presented on a “parent-only” basis. Under a parent-only presentation, the investments of Hertz Holdings in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. These parent-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Hertz Holdings included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Note 2—Debt

On June 30, 2006, Hertz Holdings entered into a loan facility with Deutsche Bank, AG, New York Branch, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. or affiliates thereof, providing for a loan of $1.0 billion, or the “Hertz Holdings Loan Facility,” for the purpose of paying a special cash dividend to the holders of record of its common stock immediately prior to the initial public offering and paying fees and expenses related to the facility. The Hertz Holdings Loan Facility was repaid in full with the proceeds of our initial public offering, and the restrictive covenants contained therein were terminated. As of December 31, 2006, Hertz Holdings had no direct outstanding debt obligations, but its indirect subsidiaries did. For a discussion of the debt obligations of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Note 3 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Note 3—Commitments and Contingencies

Hertz Holdings has no direct commitments and contingencies, but its indirect subsidiaries do. For a discussion of the commitments and contingencies of the indirect subsidiaries of Hertz Holdings, see Note 9 to the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report under the caption “Item 8—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Note 4—Dividends

Cash dividends received by the Company from its subsidiaries during 2006 were $15.5 million.

ITEM 9A.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was performed under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We are not, however, an accelerated filer and are therefore not yet required to report on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting under Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Their report is included herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FOURTHCapital Stock.  The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 2,200,000,000 shares, consisting of:  (a) 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (b) 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable in one or more series as hereinafter provided.

(a)           Common Stock.  Except as otherwise provided (i) by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (ii) by Section (b) of this Article Fourth, or (iii) by resolutions, if any, of the Board of Directors fixing the powers, designations, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Preferred Stock, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, the entire voting power of the shares of the Corporation for the election of directors and for all other purposes shall be vested exclusively in the Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock shall have one vote upon all matters to be voted on by the holders of the Common Stock, and shall be entitled to participate equally in all dividends payable with respect to the Common Stock and to share equally, subject to any rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock (as fixed by resolutions, if any, of the Board of Directors), in all assets of the Corporation, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, or upon any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

(b)           Preferred Stock.  Subject to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized to fix from time to time by resolution or resolutions the number of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, and to determine the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of any such class or series.  Further, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any such class or series, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase or decrease




(but not below the number of shares of such class or series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such class or series subsequent to the issue of shares of that class or series.

FIFTH. Management of Corporation.  The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation and for the purpose of creating, defining, limiting and regulating the powers of the Corporation and its directors and stockholders:

(a)   The directors of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. One class’s initial term will expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, another class’s initial term will expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and another class’s initial term will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, with directors of each class to hold office until their successors are duly elected and qualified, provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, the successors of the 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.  In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors of the Corporation, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal a possible.  No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(b)   Subject to any special rights of any holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the precise number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed, and may be altered from time to time, only by resolution of the Board of Directors.

(c)   Subject to this Article Fifth, the election of directors may be conducted in any manner approved by the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders or the directors, as the case may be, at the time when the election is held and need not be by written ballot.

(d)   Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, a director may be removed from office only for cause and only by




the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of directors or class of directors.

(e)   Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, and except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancy in the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors, from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification, removal of any director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by a majority of the total number of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

(f)    All corporate powers and authority of the Corporation (except as at the time otherwise provided by law, by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-Laws) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board of Directors.

(g)   The Board of Directors shall have the power without the assent or vote of the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation.

(h)   To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended after the date of the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended from time to time.

(i)    To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to the directors of the Corporation, provided that, except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to a director of the Corporation in respect of an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director, unless such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors.  The rights provided by this Article Fifth, Section (i) shall not limit or exclude any rights, indemnities or limitations of liability to which any director of the Corporation may be entitled, whether as a matter of law, under the By-Laws of the Corporation, by agreement, vote of the stockholders, approval of the directors of the Corporation or otherwise.




SIXTHStockholder Action by Written Consent. If at any time Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund VII, L.P., CDR CCMG Co-investor L.P., CD&R Parallel Fund VII, L.P., Carlyle Partners IV, L.P., CP IV Coinvestment, L.P., CEP II U.S. Investments, L.P., CEP II Participations S.à.r.l., ML Global Private Equity Fund, L.P., Merrill Lynch Ventures L.P. 2001, CMC-Hertz Partners, L.P., ML Hertz Co-Investor, L.P. and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsors”) collectively beneficially own 50.0% or less of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders. The By-Laws may establish procedures regulating the submission by stockholders of nominations and proposals for consideration at meetings of stockholders of the Corporation.

SEVENTH  Special Meetings.  A special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors then in office, and any right of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting of the stockholders is specifically denied.

EIGHTHBusiness Opportunities.  To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and except as may be otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Corporation and any Sponsor, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities, that are from time to time presented to any of the Sponsors or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries), even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so and no such person shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries unless, in the case of any such person who is a director or officer of the Corporation, such business opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation.  Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Eighth.  Neither the alteration, amendment or repeal of this Article Eighth nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article Eighth shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article Eighth in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article Eighth, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption.




NINTHSection 203 of the General Corporation Law.  The Corporation elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, “Business Combinations With Interested Stockholders”, as permitted under and pursuant to subsection (b)(3) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

TENTHAmendment.  The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights herein conferred upon stockholders or directors are granted subject to this reservation, provided, however, that any amendment, alteration or repeal of Article Fifth, Section (h) or Section (i) shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, including any right or protection of a director thereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal, and provided, further that Articles Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth shall not be amended, altered or repealed without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of directors or class of directors.

(a)  The Secretary or any Assistant Secretary shall cause notice of each meeting of stockholders to be given in writing in a manner permitted by the DGCL not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, subject to such exclusions as are then permitted by the DGCL.  The notice shall specify (i) the place, if any, date and time of such meeting of the stockholders, (ii) the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, (iii) in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes

1




for which such meeting is called and (iv) such other information as may be required by law or as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation.  If the stockholder list referred to in Section 1.07 of these By-Laws is made accessible on an electronic network, the notice of meeting must indicate how the stockholder list can be accessed.  If a stockholder meeting is to be held solely by means of electronic communications, the notice of such meeting must provide the information required to access such stockholder list.

(b)  A written waiver of notice of meeting signed by a stockholder or a waiver by electronic transmission by a stockholder, whether given before or after the meeting, is deemed equivalent to notice.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in a waiver of notice.  The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting of stockholders is a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business at the meeting on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 1.05.  Quorum.  Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series is required, the holders of a majority in voting power of all issued and outstanding stock of such class or series entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such matter.  In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.08 of these By-laws until a quorum shall attend.

Section 1.06.  Voting.  Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each such share outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the record date for such vote.  If no record date has been fixed for a meeting of stockholders, then every holder of record of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote (unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or by law) for each such share of stock outstanding in his or her name on the books of the Corporation at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws, the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or pursuant to any other rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its stockholders, the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders on the subject matter in question represented in person or by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient for the transaction of any business at such meeting.  The stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for the election of Directors.

Section 1.07.  Voting Lists.  The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders (and before any adjournment thereof for which a new record date has been set), a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  This list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder prior to and during the meeting for any purpose germane to the meeting in the manner required by the DGCL and other applicable law.  The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled by this section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 1.08.  Adjournment.  Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time, by the chairperson of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the place, if any, and date and time thereof (and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting after the adjournment, in which case notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 1.04 of these By-Laws shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.  At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Section 1.09.  Proxies.  Any stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or to express consent to or dissent from corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.  A stockholder may authorize a valid proxy by executing a written instrument signed by such stockholder, or by causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature, or by transmitting or authorizing an electronic transmission setting forth an authorization to act as proxy to the person designated as the holder of the proxy, a proxy solicitation firm or a like authorized agent.  No proxy may be voted or acted upon after the expiration of three years from the date of such proxy, unless such proxy provides for a longer period.  Every proxy is revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and applicable law makes it irrevocable.  A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary.  Proxies by electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.  Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of a writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(a)  At every meeting of stockholders the presiding officer shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Chief Executive Officer or, in the event of his or her absence or disability, a presiding officer chosen by resolution of the Board of Directors.  The Secretary, or in the event of his or her absence or disability, the Assistant Secretary, if any, or if there be no Assistant Secretary, in the absence of the Secretary, an appointee of the presiding officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting.  The Board of Directors may make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient.  Subject to any such rules and regulations, the presiding officer of any meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe rules, regulations and procedures for such meeting and to take all such actions as in the judgment of the presiding officer are appropriate for the proper conduct of such meetings.  Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding person of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders or records of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.  The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter of business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered.  Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

(b)  Preceding any meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors may, and when required by law shall, appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors of elections, and may designate one or more alternate inspectors.  If no inspector or alternate so appointed by the Board of Directors is able to act, or if no inspector or alternate has been appointed and the appointment of an inspector is required by law, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  No Director or nominee for the office of Director shall be appointed as an inspector of elections.  Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of an inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.  The inspectors shall discharge their duties in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

4




than 50.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”), then, to the fullest extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are:  (i) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (but not less than the minimum number of votes otherwise prescribed by law) and (ii) delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded within 60 days of the earliest dated consent so delivered to the Corporation.

(b)  Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, if the Sponsors collectively own 50.0% or less of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, then any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken only upon the vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders.

(c)  If a stockholder action by written consent is permitted under these By-Laws and the Certificate of Incorporation, and the Board of Directors has not fixed a record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to participate in such consent to be given, then:  (i) if the DGCL does not require action by the Board of Directors prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 1.11(a)(ii) of these By-Laws; and (ii) if the DGCL requires action by the Board of Directors prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.  Every written consent to action without a meeting shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and shall be valid if timely delivered to the Corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 1.11(a)(ii) of these By-Laws.

(d)  The Secretary shall give prompt notice of the taking of an action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 1.12.  Notice of Stockholder Proposals and Nominations.  (a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.  (i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a Committee appointed by the Board for such purpose, or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this

5




Section 1.12(a) and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered and at the date of the meeting.

(ii)           For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to subclause (C) of Section 1.12(a)(i) of these By-Laws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business other than nominations must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not fewer than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary date, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Corporation’s initial underwritten public offering of common stock, shall be deemed to be May 15, 2007); provided that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 70 days from such anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.  Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 14a-11 thereunder, or any successor provisions, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting (including the text of any resolution proposed for consideration and if such business includes proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, the text of the proposed amendments), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and of any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (2) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (3) 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 propose such business or nomination, and (4) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies

6




for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Corporation.  In addition, a stockholder seeking to bring an item of business before the annual meeting shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.

(iii)          Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 1.12(a)(ii) of these By-Laws to the contrary, in the event that the number of Directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which anniversary date, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Corporation’s initial underwritten public offering of common stock, shall be deemed to be May 15, 2007), a stockholder’s notice under this Section 1.12(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(b)  Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Only such business as shall have been brought before the special meeting of the stockholders pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting shall be conducted at such meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that the Directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12(b) and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.  In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more Directors of the Corporation, any stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting may nominate a person or persons, as the case may be, for election to such position(s) as specified by the Corporation, if the stockholder’s notice as required by Section 1.12(a)(ii) of these By-Laws shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 120 days prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(c)  General.

(i)  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the presiding officer of a meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (x) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 (including whether the

7




stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder’s nominee or proposal in compliance with such stockholder’s representation as required by clause (a)(ii)(C)(4) of this Section 1.12), and (y) if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.12, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

(ii)           If the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 1.12 does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and/or the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation.  For purposes of this Section 1.12, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(iii)          For purposes of this Section 1.12, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(iv)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.12.  Nothing in this Section 1.12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of (x) stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (y) the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect Directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or of the relevant preferred stock certificate of designation.

(v)  The announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual or special meeting does not commence a new time period (and does not extend any time period) for the giving of notice of a stockholder nomination or a stockholder proposal as described above.

Section 2.12.  Removal of Directors.  Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional Directors pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation thereunder), any Director may be removed only for cause, upon affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the votes to which all the stockholders of the Corporation would be entitled to cast in any election of Directors or class of Directors, acting at a meeting of the stockholders or by written consent (if permitted) in accordance with the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation and these By-Laws, provided that for so long as the Stockholders Agreement is in effect, the removal of any Director shall also be subject to the requirements under the Stockholders Agreement.

Section 2.13.  Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.  Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock, if any, to elect additional Directors pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation thereunder), any vacancy in the Board of Directors that results from the death, disability, resignation, disqualification, removal of any Director or from any other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director, provided that for so long as the Stockholders Agreement is in effect, the removal of any Director shall also be subject to the requirements under the Stockholders Agreement.  Any Director filling a vacancy shall be of the same class as that of the Director whose death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other event caused the vacancy, and any Director filling a newly created directorship shall be of the class specified by the Board of Directors at the time the newly created directorships were created.  A Director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created Directorship shall hold office until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 2.14.  Director Fees and Expenses.  The amount, if any, which each Director shall be entitled to receive as compensation for his or her services shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, subject to the Stockholders Agreement (if then if effect).  The Corporation will cause each non-employee Director serving on the Board of Directors to be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by him or her in connection with such service.

Section 2.15.  Reliance on Accounts and Reports, etc.  A Director, or a member of any Committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Corporation and upon information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or Committees designated by the Board of Directors, or by any other person as to the matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.

Each member of any such Committee (whether designated at an annual meeting of the Board of Directors or to fill a vacancy or otherwise) shall hold office until his or her successor shall have been designated or until he or she shall cease to be a Director, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

12




provided by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors.  Neither the Executive and Governance Committee nor any other Committee shall have the power or authority:

13




minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.  The members of any such Committee shall act only as a Committee, and the individual members of such Committee shall have no power as such.

Section 3.05.  Action by Telephonic Communications.  Members of any Committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in a meeting of such Committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

CAPITAL STOCK

18




certificate signed by the appropriate officers of the Corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.  Such certificate shall be in such form as the Board of Directors may determine, to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and these By-Laws.

Section 5.02.  Signatures; Facsimile.  All signatures on the certificates referred to in Section 5.01 of these By-Laws may be in facsimile, engraved or printed form, to the extent permitted by law.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile, engraved or printed signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 5.03.  Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  A new certificate may be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, only upon delivery to Corporation of an affidavit of the owner or owners (or their legal representatives) of such certificate, setting forth such allegation, and a bond or undertaking as may be satisfactory to a financial officer of the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

Section 5.04.  Transfer of Stock.  Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.  Within a reasonable time after the transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to Sections 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL.  Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and these By-Laws, the Board of Directors may prescribe such additional rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate relating to the issue, transfer and registration of shares of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.01.  Nature of Indemnity.  The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law, 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 (each, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or while serving as a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, manager or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that in the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (i) such indemnification shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (ii) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.05 of these By-Laws, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify a Director or officer of the Corporation in respect of a proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such Director or officer, unless such proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors.

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 6.02.  Successful Defense.  To the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

Section 6.03.  Determination That Indemnification Is ProperAny indemnification of a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation under Section 6.01 of these By-Laws

20




(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws.  Any such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director or officer at the time of such determination (i) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a Committee of such Directors designated by majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders.

Section 6.04.  Advance of Expenses.  Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a present or former Director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon written request by such person and delivery of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article or applicable law; provided that the Board of Directors may not require such Director or officer to post any bond or otherwise provide any security for such undertaking.  The Corporation or, in respect of a present Director or officer, the Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent (subject to applicable conflict of interest considerations) such present or former Director or officer in any proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such proceeding.

Section 6.05.  Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  Any indemnification of a Director or officer of the Corporation under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of these By-Laws, or advance of expenses to such persons under Section 6.04 of these By-Laws, shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, upon the written request by or on behalf of such person (together with supporting documentation).  If a determination by the Corporation that such person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article is required, and the Corporation fails to respond within 60 days to a written request for indemnity, the Corporation shall be deemed to have approved such request.  If the Corporation denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within 30 days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by such person in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her 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 (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 6.04 of these By-Laws where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by or tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws, 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 or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01 of these By-Laws, 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, and its stockholders) that the claimant

21




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 6.06.  Contract Right; Non-Exclusivity; Survival.

(a)  The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall be deemed to be separate contract rights between the Corporation and each Director and officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not adversely affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.  Such “contract rights” may not be modified retroactively as to any present or former Director or officer without the consent of such Director or officer.

(b)  The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, or otherwise.

(c)  The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article to any present or former Director or officer shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 6.07.  Insurance.  The Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article, provided that such insurance is available on commercially reasonable terms consistent with then prevailing rates in the insurance market.

Section 6.08.  Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Article VI, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee, who shall execute all documents, and do all acts, that as the Corporation may reasonably request to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as the Corporation may reasonably request to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 6.09.  Employees and Agents.  The Board, or any officer authorized by the Board generally or in the specific case to make indemnification decisions, may cause the Corporation to indemnify any present or former employee or agent of the Corporation in such manner and for

22




such liabilities as the Board may determine, up to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law.

Section 6.10.  Interpretation, Severability.  Terms defined in Sections 145(h) or (i) of the DGCL have the meanings set forth in such sections when used in this Article.  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 Director or officer as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

5




Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to the issuance of such new Series (all such terms, the “Principal Terms” of such Series).

Section 2.4.  Execution and Authentication.

(a) The Notes shall, upon issue pursuant to Section 2.2, be executed on behalf of HVF by an Authorized Officer and delivered by HVF to the Trustee for authentication and redelivery as provided herein.  If an Authorized Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, HVF may deliver Notes of any particular Series executed by HVF to the Trustee for authentication, together with one or more Company Orders for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with such Company Order and this Indenture, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

(c) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein, duly executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of a Trust Officer (and the Luxembourg agent (the “Luxembourg Agent”), if the Notes of the Series to which such Note belongs are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange).  Such signatures on such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Note has been duly authenticated under this Indenture.  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to HVF to authenticate Notes.  Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Notes of a Series issued under the within mentioned Indenture.

BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY, as Trustee

Authorized Signatory

 

(d) Each Note shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by HVF, and HVF shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.14 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.3 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by HVF, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

6




The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, based on the written advice of counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.

Section 2.5.  Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) HVF shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (“Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes may be presented for payment.  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”).  HVF may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars.  HVF may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder.  HVF shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes.

(b) HVF shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  If HVF fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with this Indenture until HVF shall appoint a replacement Registrar or Paying Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.6.  Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

(a) HVF will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i)    hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;

(ii)   give the Trustee notice of any default by HVF of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

(iii)  at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;

(iv)  immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and

7




(v)   comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

(b) HVF may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to HVF on Company Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to HVF for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to HVF), and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of HVF, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, and in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in London and Luxembourg (if the related Series of Notes has been listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange), if applicable, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to HVF.  The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of HVF, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.

Section 2.7.  Noteholder List.

The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to HVF or the Paying Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from HVF or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as HVF or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such Noteholders.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, holders of Notes of any Series having an aggregate Principal Amount of not less than 10% of the aggregate Principal Amount of such Series (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been adequately indemnified by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give HVF notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application.  Such list shall be as of a

8




date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request.  Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, HVF shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Payment Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.

Section 2.8.  Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVF shall execute and after HVF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, in any authorized denominations, of the same Class and a like Initial Principal Amount.  At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Series and Class in authorized denominations of like Initial Principal Amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose.  Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVF shall execute and after HVF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require.  HVF shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.

(c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of HVF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Note of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for payment in full of the Notes of such Series.

(e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but HVF or the

9




Registrar may require payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable Series Supplement are satisfied.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8 and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13, the typewritten Note or Notes representing Book-Entry Notes for any Series may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Clearing Agency for such Series, or to a successor Clearing Agency for such Series selected or approved by HVF or to a nominee of such successor Clearing Agency, only if in accordance with this Section 2.8 and Section 2.12.

(g) If the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, the Trustee or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be, shall send to HVF upon any transfer or exchange of any Note information reflected in the copy of the register for the Notes maintained by the Registrar or the Luxembourg Agent, as the case may be.

Section 2.9.  Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and HVF may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor HVF shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.10.  Replacement Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold HVF and the Trustee harmless then, provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, HVF shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, HVF may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof.  If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, HVF and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by HVF or the Trustee in connection therewith.

10




(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.10, HVF may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

(c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.10 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.11.  Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Principal Amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by HVF or any Affiliate of HVF (other than an Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of which a Trust Officer has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded.  Absent written notice to the Trustee of such ownership, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual owners of the Notes.

Section 2.12.  Book-Entry Notes.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in any applicable Series Supplement, the Notes of each Series, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to the depository specified in such Series Supplement (the “Depository”) which shall be the Clearing Agency on behalf of such Series.  The Notes of each Series shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, initially be registered on the Note Register in the name of the Clearing Agency or the nominee of the Clearing Agency.  No Note Owner will receive a definitive note representing such Note Owner’s interest in the related Series of Notes, except as provided in Section 2.13.  Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes of any Series (“Definitive Notes”) have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13:

(i)    the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall be in full force and effect with respect to each such Series;

(ii)   HVF, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants for all purposes (including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole Holder of the Notes, and shall have no obligation to the Note Owners;

11




(iii)  to the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.12 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.12 shall control with respect to each such Series;

(iv)  the rights of Note Owners of each such Series shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the applicable Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Indenture to actions by the Noteholders shall refer to actions taken by the Clearing Agency upon instructions from the Clearing Agency Participants, and all references in this Indenture to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Noteholders shall refer to distributions, notices, reports and statements to the Clearing Agency, as registered holder of the Notes of such Series for distribution to the Note Owners in accordance with the procedures of the Clearing Agency; and

(v)   whenever this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Noteholders evidencing a specified percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect from Note Owners and/or their related Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest in the Outstanding Notes and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

Pursuant to the Depository Agreement applicable to a Series, unless and until Definitive Notes of such Series are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Notes to such Clearing Agency Participants.

(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.13, the Trustee and HVF shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Noteholders to the applicable Clearing Agency for distribution to the Note Owners.

Section 2.13.  Definitive Notes.

(a) The Notes of any Series, to the extent provided in the related Series Supplement, upon original issuance, may be issued in the form of Definitive Notes.  The applicable Series Supplement shall set forth the legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Definitive Notes and such other restrictions as may be applicable.

(b) With respect to the Notes of any Series issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, if (i) (A) HVF advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency with respect to any Series of Notes is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the applicable Depository Agreement and (B) the Trustee or HVF is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) HVF, at its option, advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency with

12




respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding or (iii) after the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding, Note Owners holding a beneficial interest in excess of 50% of the aggregate Principal Amount of such Series of Notes advise the Trustee and the applicable Clearing Agency through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the applicable Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, the Trustee shall notify all Note Owners of such Series, through the applicable Clearing Agency Participants, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners of such Series.  Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Notes of such Series by the applicable Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions from the applicable Clearing Agency for registration, HVF shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, and deliver the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency.  Neither HVF nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may each conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes of such Series of Notes all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the applicable Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Notes, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes of such Series as Noteholders of such Series hereunder.

Section 2.14.  Cancellation.

HVF may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which HVF may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation.  HVF may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s standard disposition procedures unless HVF shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it pursuant to a Company Order.

Section 2.15.  Principal and Interest.

(a) The principal of each Series of Notes shall be payable at the times and in the amount set forth in the applicable Series Supplement and in accordance with Section 6.1.

(b) Each Series of Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the applicable Series Supplement and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date for such Series in accordance with Section 6.1 and the applicable Series Supplement.

(c) Except as provided in the following sentence, the Person in whose name any Note is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to a Payment Date for such Note shall be entitled to receive the principal and interest payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any registration of transfer, exchange or substitution of such Note subsequent to such Record Date.  Any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable.

13

39




(b) Liquidation Event of Default; Limited Liquidation Event of Default.  If a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default), shall direct HVF and the Collateral Agent to exercise (and HVF agrees to exercise) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVF against any party to any Related Document arising as a result of the occurrence of such Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default, as the case may be, or otherwise, including the right or power to take any action to compel performance or observance by any such party of its obligations to HVF and the right to terminate all or a  portion of the HVF Lease and take possession of HVF Vehicles and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver in respect of such HVF Lease, and any right of HVF to take such action independent of such direction shall be suspended.  If and whenever a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may and, at the written direction of the Requisite Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default), shall direct HVF to terminate (a) the Nominee Power of Attorney granted to Hertz and direct the Nominee to grant a Nominee Power of Attorney to HVF, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as specified by the Trustee, pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Nominee Agreement, (b) the Power of Attorney granted to Hertz pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Collateral Agency Agreement, (c) the Hertz Nominee Power of Attorney granted to Hertz and direct the Hertz Nominee to grant a Hertz Nominee Power of Attorney to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent and/or (d) the HFC Nominee Power of Attorney granted to HFC and direct the HFC Nominee to grant a HFC Nominee Power of Attorney to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

(c) Manufacturer Programs and HVF Vehicles.  (i)  Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Requisite Investors, shall promptly (and in any event within any reasonably practicable period specified in such written direction) instruct the Collateral Agent to return or cause HVF to return the Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers (after the minimum holding period specified in the Manufacturer’s Manufacturer Program and so long as a Manufacturer Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing with respect to the related Manufacturer) and then, to the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program (or if a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Manufacturer), to direct the Collateral Agent to liquidate or cause HVF to liquidate the Program Vehicles in accordance with the rights of HVF under the Related Documents and to otherwise sell or cause to be sold to third parties all Non-Program Vehicles.  Upon the occurrence of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes, shall promptly (and in any event within any reasonably practicable period specified in such written direction) instruct the Collateral Agent to return or cause HVF to return Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers (after the minimum holding period specified in the Manufacturer’s Manufacturer Program and so long as a Manufacturer Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing with respect to the related Manufacturer) and then, to the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable

40




Manufacturer Program (or if a Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Manufacturer), to direct the Collateral Agent to liquidate or cause HVF to liquidate Program Vehicles in accordance with the rights of HVF under the Related Documents and to sell Non-Program Vehicles or cause Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in an amount sufficient to pay all interest and principal on such Series of Notes; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and HVF shall select the Program Vehicles to be returned to the related Manufacturers and the Non-Program Vehicles to be sold to third parties in a manner that does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders of any Series of Notes Outstanding or any Enhancement Provider.

(i)             In addition to, and not in limitation of, the remedies and duties of the Trustee set forth in subsection (i) above or (iii) below, if a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Requisite Investors (in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default) or at the direction of the Required Noteholders of the applicable Series of Notes (in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default) shall direct the Collateral Agent to exercise, or cause HVF to exercise, to the extent necessary, all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of HVF or the Collateral Agent against the Manufacturers under or in connection with the Manufacturer Programs.

(ii)          In the event that either (A) an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any Manufacturer of Program Vehicles shall have occurred and is continuing and such Manufacturer shall fail to repurchase any Program Vehicles in accordance with the terms of the related Manufacturer Program and a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof or (B) if there has occurred and is continuing any other Manufacturer Event of Default and a Trust Officer has knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall direct the Collateral Agent to sell or cause HVF to sell any and all Program Vehicles covered by the related Manufacturer Program of such Manufacturer for the highest purchase price offered and, promptly upon receipt, to deposit the proceeds of such sale into the Collection Account for allocation hereunder; provided, however, that if any event described in clause (A) or (B) above occurs, HVF shall have three Business Days from such occurrence to redesignate such Program Vehicles as Non-Program Vehicles in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 2.6 of the HVF Lease before the Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent to sell any such Program Vehicles.

(d) Failure of HVF or the Collateral Agent to Take Action.  If (i) HVF or the Collateral Agent shall have failed, within 10 Business Days of receiving the direction of the Trustee, to take commercially reasonable action to accomplish directions of the Trustee given pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) above, (ii) HVF or the Collateral Agent refuses to take such action or (iii) the Trustee reasonably determines that such action must be taken immediately, the Trustee may (and at the written direction of the Required Noteholders of the affected Series of Notes (with respect to any Limited Liquidation Event of Default) or the Requisite Investors (with respect to any Liquidation Event of Default) shall), take such previously directed action (and any related action as permitted under this Indenture thereafter determined by the Trustee to be appropriate without the need under this provision or any other provision under this Indenture to direct HVF or the Collateral Agent to take such action).  The Trustee may direct the Collateral Agent to institute legal proceedings for the appointment of a receiver or receivers to take

41




possession of the HVF Vehicles pending the sale thereof pursuant either to the powers of sale granted by this Indenture, the Collateral Agency Agreement and the other Related Documents or to a judgment, order or decree made in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Indenture.

(e) Sale of Collateral.  Upon any sale of any of the Collateral directly by the Trustee, or by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Trustee, whether made under the power of sale given under this Section 9.2 or under judgment, order or decree in any judicial proceeding for the foreclosure or involving the enforcement of this Indenture:

(i)             the Trustee, any Noteholder and/or any Enhancement Provider may bid for and purchase the property being sold, and upon compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability;

(ii)          the Trustee, or the Collateral Agent at the direction of the Trustee, may make and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient deed, bill of sale and instrument of assignment and transfer of the property sold;

(iii)       all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity or otherwise, of HVF of, in and to the property so sold shall be divested; and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against HVF, its successors and assigns, and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the property sold or any part thereof from, through or under HVF or its successors or assigns;

(iv)      the receipt of the Trustee or of the officer thereof making such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale for his or their purchase money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and his or their assigns or personal representatives, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such receipt of the Trustee or of such officer therefor, be obliged to see to the application of such purchase money or be in any way answerable for any loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof; and

(v)         to the extent that it may lawfully do so, HVF agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the HVF Vehicles shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Indenture.

(f) Additional Remedies.  In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted hereunder or under applicable law with respect to the Collateral, the Trustee shall (subject to the foregoing provisions in respect of the HVF Vehicles) have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(g) Amortization Event.  Upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event with respect to one or more, but not all, Series of Notes Outstanding, the Trustee shall exercise all remedies hereunder to the extent necessary to pay all interest and principal on the related Series

42




of Notes, provided that any such actions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders of any Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred.

Section 9.3.  Other Remedies.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture, if an Amortization Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any remedy available under applicable law or in equity to collect the payment of principal or interest on the Notes (or the applicable Series of Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event that affects less than all Series of Notes) or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or any Series Supplement with respect such Series of Notes.  In addition, the Trustee may, or shall at the written direction of the Requisite Investors (or the Required Noteholders of one or more Series of Notes, in the case of an Amortization Event that affects only such Series of Notes), direct the Collateral Agent or HVF to exercise any rights or remedies available under any Related Document or under applicable law or in equity with respect to that Series of Notes, provided that any such actions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Noteholders of any Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to which no Amortization Event shall have occurred.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be in its own name as trustee.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 9.4.  Waiver of Past Events.

Subject to Section 12.2, the Noteholders of any Series owning an aggregate Principal Amount of Notes in excess of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Notes of such Series, by notice to the Trustee, may waive any existing Potential Amortization Event or Amortization Event described in clause (f), (g), (h), (i) or (j) of Section 9.1 (with respect to clause (j), only to the extent subject to waiver as provided in the applicable Series Supplement) which relate to such Series and its consequences.  Upon any such waiver, such Potential Amortization Event shall cease to exist with respect to such Series, and any Amortization Event with respect to such Series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Potential Amortization Event or impair any right consequent thereon.  A Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (j) of Section 9.1 (with respect to clause (j), only to the extent not subject to waiver as set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall not be subject to waiver.  The Trustee shall provide notice to each Rating Agency of any waiver by the Noteholders of any Series pursuant to Section 9.4.

Section 9.5.  Control by Requisite Investors.

The Requisite Investors (or, to the extent such remedy relates only to a particular Series of Notes, the Required Noteholders of such Series) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  However, subject to Section 10.1, the Trustee may refuse to

43




follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 9.6.  Limitation on Suits.

Any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Holder of Notes of any Series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such Series only if:

(a) the Noteholder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Amortization Event with respect to such Series;

(b) the Noteholders of at least 25% of the aggregate Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes of such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Noteholder or Noteholders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period the Required Noteholders of such Series of Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder.

Section 9.7.  Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Noteholder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Noteholder.

Section 9.8.  Collection Suit by the Trustee.

If any Amortization Event arising from the failure to make a payment in respect of a Series of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against HVF for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes of such Series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

44




Section 9.9.  The Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to HVF (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money and other properties which the Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

Section 9.10.  Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, the Trustee shall pay out the money in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.

Section 9.11.  Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Noteholder pursuant to Section 9.7, or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% of the aggregate Principal Amount of all then Outstanding Notes.

Section 9.12.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or

45




otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 9.13.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Amortization Event or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article 9 or by law to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders of Notes, as the case may be.

Section 9.14.  Reassignment of Surplus.

After termination of this Indenture and the payment in full of the Note Obligations, any proceeds of the Collateral received or held by the Trustee shall be turned over to HVF and the Indenture Collateral shall be reassigned to HVF by the Trustee without recourse to the Trustee and without any representations, warranties or agreements of any kind.

ARTICLE X   THE TRUSTEE

Section 10.1.  Duties of the Trustee.

(a) If an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Amortization Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice.  The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Amortization Event:

(i)    The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii)   In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine such certificates or opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).  Except as otherwise provided, the delivery of reports, information and

46




documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including HVF’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)    This clause does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 10.1.

(ii)   The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(iii)  The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 9.3.

(iv)  The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default by any Person in the performance of its obligations under any Related Document, unless a Trust Officer receives written notice of such failure from HVF, Hertz or any Noteholder or otherwise has actual knowledge thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or any of the Related Documents, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability (financial or otherwise) if there are reasonable grounds (as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion) for believing that the repayment of such funds is not reasonably assured to it by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.

(e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.

(f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Related Documents.

(g) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1.

47




(h) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and, unless directed by the Required Noteholders of any Series of Notes Outstanding, the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any securities interest in the Collateral.  The Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission or any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee with due care in good faith.

(i) The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of HVF to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Related Documents by HVF or the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.2.  Rights of the Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided by Section 10.1:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting based upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by or presented by the proper person.

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.  The appointment of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be subject to the prior consent of HVF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

48




(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Series Supplement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Noteholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or any Series Supplement, unless such Noteholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of a default by the Lessee, the Servicer, the Hertz Nominee, the HFC Nominee, Hertz Vehicles LLC, HGI or HVF (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture or any Series Supplement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts of matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Required Noteholders of any Series of Notes. If the Trustee is so requested by the Required Noteholders or determines in its own discretion to make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit, the Trustee shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of HVF, personally or by agent or attorney, at the sole cost of HVF and the Trustee shall incur no liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses or liquidation penalties in connection with Permitted Investments, unless such losses or liquidation penalties were incurred through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the predecessor Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall not be required to take any action pursuant to any request or direction of HVF unless such request or direction is sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order.

(j) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder.

(l) The Trustee may request that HVF deliver an incumbency certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which incumbency certificate may be signed by any person

49




authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 10.3.  Individual Rights of the Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with HVF or an Affiliate of HVF with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 10.4.  Notice of Amortization Events and Potential Amortization Events.

If an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding occurs and is continuing of which a Trust Officer shall have received written notice, the Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) provide the Noteholders, HVF and each Rating Agency with notice of such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, to the extent that the Notes of such Series are Book-Entry Notes, by telephone and facsimile and otherwise by first class mail.

Section 10.5.  Compensation.

(a) HVF shall promptly pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Trustee and HVF shall from time to time agree in writing.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  HVF shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include (i) the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and (ii) the reasonable expenses of the Trustee’s agents.

(b) HVF shall not be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability, or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence.

(c) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Amortization Event occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code.

(d) The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

(b) The Trustee may, after giving forty-five (45) days prior written notice to HVF, each Noteholder and each Rating Agency, resign at any time and be discharged from the trust

50




hereby created; provided, however, that no such resignation of the Trustee shall be effective until a successor trustee has assumed the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.  The Requisite Investors may remove the Trustee at any time by so notifying the Trustee and HVF.  So long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of Outstanding Notes, HVF may remove the Trustee at any time.  HVF shall remove the Trustee if:

(i)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.8;

(ii)   the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under the Bankruptcy Code;

(iii)  a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, HVF shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Requisite Investors may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by HVF.

(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, at the expense of HVF, HVF or any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee after written request by any Noteholder fails to comply with Section 10.8, such Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or removed Trustee and to HVF.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture and any Series Supplement.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.6, HVF’s obligations under Section 10.5 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 10.7.  Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 10.8, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

51




Section 10.8.  Eligibility Disqualification.

(a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power and (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 10.9.  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or any Series Supplement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Indenture Collateral may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Indenture Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Indenture Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.9, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 10.8 and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 10.6.  No co-trustee shall be appointed without the consent of HVF unless such appointment is required as a matter of state law or to enable the Trustee to perform its functions hereunder.

(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)    The Notes of each Series shall be authenticated and delivered solely by the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee;

(ii)   All rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform, such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Indenture Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

52




(iii)  No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iv)  The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 10.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture and any Series Supplement, specifically including every provision of this Indenture or any Series Supplement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to HVF.

(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect to this Indenture or any Series Supplement on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 10.10.  Representations and Warranties of Trustee.

(i)    The Trustee is an Illinois trust company, organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois;

(ii)   The Trustee has full power, authority and right to execute, deliver and perform this Indenture and any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes, and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Indenture and any Series Supplement issued concurrently with this Indenture and to authenticate the Notes;

(iii)  This Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee; and

(iv)  The Trustee meets the requirements of eligibility as a trustee hereunder set forth in Section 10.8.

53




claim, expense (including taxes, other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee), damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of or in connection with the activities of the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or any Series Supplement, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, claim (whether asserted by HVF or any Noteholder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 10.11; provided, however, that HVF shall not indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute bad faith or negligence by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee, as the case may be.  The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

ARTICLE XI   DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 11.1.  Termination of HVF’s Obligations.

(b) In addition, except as may be provided to the contrary in any Series Supplement, HVF may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture if:

(d) The representations and warranties set forth in Article 7 of this Indenture shall survive for so long as any Series of Notes are Outstanding, and may not be waived with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding.

Section 11.2.  Application of Trust Money.

The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and HVF shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.1.  The Trustee shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal and interest on the Notes.  The provisions of this Section 11.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Indenture.

(i)    to create a new Series of Notes;

(ii)   to add to the covenants of HVF for the benefit of any Noteholders (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all Series of Notes, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such Series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon HVF (provided, however, that HVF will not pursuant to this subsection 12.1(a)(ii) surrender any right or power it has under the Related Documents);

(iii)  to mortgage, pledge, convey, assign and transfer to the Trustee any property or assets as security for the Notes and to specify the terms and conditions upon which such property or assets are to be held and dealt with by the Trustee and to set forth such other provisions in respect thereof as may be required by the Indenture or as may, consistent with the provisions of the Indenture, be deemed appropriate by HVF and the Trustee, or to correct or amplify the description of any such property or assets at any time so mortgaged, pledged, conveyed and transferred to the Trustee;

(viii) to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any Series Supplement which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein or therein or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or in any Series Supplement;

provided, however, that, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF, such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or Enhancement Provider.

56




(b) Upon the request of HVF and receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 2.2, the Trustee shall join with HVF in the execution of any Series Supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and shall make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such Series Supplement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 12.2.  With Consent of the Noteholders.

Except as provided in Section 12.1, the provisions of this Indenture and any Series Supplement (unless otherwise provided in such Series Supplement) may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and consented to in writing by HVF, the Trustee and the Requisite Investors (or the Required Noteholders of a Series of Notes, in respect of any amendment to the Series Supplement with respect to such Series of Notes or any amendment to the Indenture which affects only the Noteholders of such Series of Notes and does not affect the Noteholders of any other Series of Notes, as substantiated by a Officer’s Certificate of HVF to such effect); provided, however that this Indenture, any Series Supplement and any Related Document may be amended without the consent of any Noteholder, but subject to any consents specified in a Series Supplement, in order to permit HVF to provide financing in the form of one or more rated and/or unrated asset backed securities and/or one or more credit facilities to PR Borrower for the purpose of acquiring vehicles for its car rental fleet in Puerto Rico or to make payments in reduction of the principal amount of other indebtedness of PR Borrower or for any other purpose which is permitted in the consents, if any, obtained pursuant to the Series Supplements; provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment; provided, further that this Indenture may be amended by HVF without the consent of any Noteholder for the purpose of amending the definition of the term “Ineligible Non-Investment Grade Manufacturer Receivable Amount”; provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence):

(i)    any modification of this Section 12.2, any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by Noteholders holding the relevant percentage in Principal Amount of the Notes or any change in the definition of the terms “Aggregate Asset Amount”, “Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency”, “Eligible Manufacturer Program”, “Eligible Manufacturer”, “Eligible Program Manufacturer”, “Ineligible Asset Amount”, “Limited Liquidation Event of Default”, “Liquidation Event of Default” or “Manufacturer Program” or the applicable amount of Enhancement shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder;

(ii)   any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Note (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Note) shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder; (B) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of any Noteholder individually in comparison to any other Noteholder shall require the consent of such Noteholder; or (C) amend or

57




otherwise modify any Amortization Event shall require the consent of each affected Noteholder; and

(iii)  any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (A) approve the assignment or transfer by HVF of any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms hereof or thereof; (B) release any obligor under any Related Document to which it is a party, except pursuant to the express terms of such Related Document; or (C) amend or otherwise modify any Servicer Default, shall require in each case the consent of Noteholders holding not less than 66⅔% of the Aggregate Principal Amount (or Noteholders holding not less than 66⅔% of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of any Series of Notes, in respect of any amendment to a Series Supplement with respect to such Series of Notes or any amendment to the Indenture which affects only the Noteholders of such Series of Notes and does not affect the Noteholders of any other Series of Notes, as substantiated by an Officer’s Certificate of HVF to such effect).

No failure or delay on the part of any Noteholder or the Trustee in exercising any power or right under this Indenture or any other Related Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

Section 12.3.  Supplements.

Each amendment or other modification to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a Supplement.  The initial effectiveness of each Supplement shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding and the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that such Supplement is authorized by this Indenture and the conditions precedent set forth herein and in such Series Supplement with respect thereto have been satisfied.  In addition to the manner provided in Sections 12.1 and 12.2, each Series Supplement may be amended as provided in such Series Supplement.

Section 12.4.  Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Noteholder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Noteholder and every subsequent Noteholder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Noteholder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder.  HVF may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.

Section 12.5.  Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  HVF, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.  Failure to make the

58




appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 12.6.  The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it.  In signing such Supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to Section 10.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of HVF and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such Supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and that it will be valid and binding upon HVF in accordance with its terms.

In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be

60




made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 13.8.  Payment on Business Day.

In any case where any Payment Date, redemption date or maturity date of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any), as the case may be, need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Payment Date, redemption date, or maturity date; provided, however. that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Payment Date, redemption date, or maturity date, as the case may be.

Section 13.11.  Severability.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 13.12.  Counterpart Originals.

120




shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Payment Date following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account), unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account is held with the Trustee, then such investment may mature on such Payment Date and such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date.  All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account.  HVF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment.  In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

(c)           Earnings from Series 2005-1 Distribution Account.  All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Series 2005-1 Distribution Account shall be deemed to be on deposit and available for distribution.

121




Designated Account is not the Trustee, HVF shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 2.10.

(b)           The Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i)            The Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts are accounts to which “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) (“Financial Assets”) of the UCC in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) will be credited;

(ii)           All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Series 2005-1 Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Series 2005-1 Designated Account be registered in the name of HVF, payable to the order of HVF or specially endorsed to HVF;

(iii)          All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Series Supplement will be promptly credited to the appropriate Series 2005-1 Designated Account;

(iv)          Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to a Series 2005-1 Designated Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(v)           If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by HVF or the Administrator;

(vi)          The Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement.  For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts (as well as the “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the New York UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

(vii)         The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Series Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until

122




the termination of this Series Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 2.10(b)(v) of this Series Supplement; and

(viii)        Except for the claims and interest of the Trustee and HVF in the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary knows of no claim to, or interest, in the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts or in any Financial Asset credited thereto.  If the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge of the assertion by any other person of any lien, encumbrance, or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any Series 2005-1 Designated Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the Administrator and HVF thereof.

(c)           The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2005-1 Designated Accounts.

Section 2.11.  Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges.

(a)           On the Series 2005-1 Closing Date, HVF shall acquire one or more interest rate caps or swaps, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer (each a “Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge”), from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider with funds available to it.  The aggregate initial notional amount of all Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges shall equal the sum of the Class A-1 Principal Amount, the Class A-2 Principal Amount, the Class A-4 Principal Amount, the Class B-1 Principal Amount, the Class B-3 Principal Amount and the Class B-5 Principal Amount on the Series 2005-1 Closing Date, and, thereafter, the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges may be reduced pursuant to the related Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge but shall not at any time be less than the sum of the Class A-1 Principal Amount, the Class A-2 Principal Amount, the Class A-4 Principal Amount, the Class B-1 Principal Amount, the Class B-3 Principal Amount and the Class B-5 Principal Amount.  The strike rate of each Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a cap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  The fixed rate of each Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a swap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  HVF shall satisfy the Series 2005-1 Rating Agency Condition and, so long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, obtain the consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with its acquisition of any Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge.  The Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge must provide that (i) no payments from the Series 2005-1 Hedge Provider to HVF shall be conditioned upon payment of amounts (other than the Monthly Hedge Payment) due to such Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge Provider from HVF, to the extent that any such non-payment resulted solely from the Fleet Equity Condition failing to be satisfied, (ii) the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall provide to the Insurer a copy of any notice of payment default delivered to HVF, simultaneously with

123




delivery of such notice to HVF and (iii) in the event that HVF shall fail to pay any amounts due to the Series 2005-1 Hedge Provider under such Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall have the right to make any such payment on behalf of HVF.  For so long as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not in default under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge and such Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge continues to be in effect, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall constitute an “Enhancement Provider” with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the other Related Documents, and each Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party shall constitute an “Enhancement Agreement” with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes for all purposes under the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents.  Furthermore, each Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deemed to be a “Secured Party” under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents to the extent of amounts payable to each such Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to this Series Supplement.

(b)           If, at any time, an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider, then HVF shall cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider within 30 days following such occurrence, at such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s expense, to do one of the following:  (i) obtain a replacement interest rate cap or swap on the same terms as the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement HVF shall terminate the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced, (ii) obtain a guaranty from, or contingent agreement of (in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer), another person who qualifies as an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider to honor such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge in accordance with its terms and written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s that the substantive terms of the guaranty agreement are sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating, (iii) post collateral pursuant to and in accordance with its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge, or (iv) enter into any arrangement satisfactory to Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which is sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.  If HVF is unable to cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence after making commercially reasonable efforts, (I) HVF will obtain a replacement Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge at the expense of the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider or, if the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to make such payment, at the expense of HVF (in which event, such amount will be considered Carrying Charges and paid solely from Interest Collections available pursuant to Section 2.3(h) of this Series Supplement) and (II) to the extent that HVF does not obtain a replacement Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall be deemed to have been materially and adversely effected.  HVF must cause each Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge to provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to take any of the

124




actions described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iv) above and such action is not taken within 30 days, then the Interest Rate Hedge Provider must, until a replacement Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge is executed and in effect, collateralize its obligations as required under clause (iii) above.  Each Series 2005-1 Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series 2005-1 Note hereby acknowledges and agrees, and directs the Trustee to acknowledge and agree, and the Trustee, at such direction, hereby acknowledges and agrees, that any collateral posted by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) is collateral solely for the obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge, (B) does not constitute collateral for the Series 2005-1 Notes (provided that in order to secure and provide for the payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes, HVF has pledged each Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge and its security interest in any collateral posted in connection therewith as collateral for the Series 2005-1 Notes), and (C) will in no event be available to satisfy any obligations of HVF hereunder or otherwise unless and until such Interest Rate Hedge Provider defaults in its obligations under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge and such collateral is applied in accordance with the terms of such Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge to satisfy such defaulted obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider.

(c)           If the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider, or the Person that guarantees all of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge, is withdrawn or falls to or below “Baa1” by Moody’s or to or below “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, then the Insurer may terminate such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge if, after 10 Business Days after the occurrence of such rating withdrawal or fall, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider has not, at its own expense, (i) obtained a replacement interest rate swap or cap on the same terms as the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) provided by such Interest Rate Hedge Provider from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement terminated the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced or (ii) entered into any arrangement satisfactory to S&P, Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, will not have been unreasonably withheld or delayed, which was sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.

(d)           To secure payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-1 Notes, HVF hereby grants a security interest in, and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2005-1 Noteholders and the Insurer, all of HVF’s right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, in the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges and all proceeds thereof.  HVF shall require all proceeds of the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges to be paid, and the Trustee shall allocate, all proceeds of the Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedges to the Series 2005-1 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 2005-1 Collection Account.

(b)           Administration of the Class B Reserve Account.  HVF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the Class B Reserve Account to invest funds on deposit in the Class B Reserve Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the first Payment Date following the date on which such funds were received (including funds received upon a payment in respect of a Permitted Investment made with funds on deposit in the Class B Reserve Account), unless any Permitted Investment held in the Class B Reserve Account is held with the Trustee, then such investment may mature on such Payment Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Payment Date.  HVF shall not direct the Trustee to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of the initial purchase price of such Permitted Investment.  In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Class B Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.

(c)           Earnings from Class B Reserve Account.  All interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) paid on funds on deposit in the Class B Reserve Account shall be deemed to be on deposit therein and available for distribution.

(e)           Class B Reserve Account Surplus.  In the event that the Class B Reserve Account Surplus on any Payment Date is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, shall withdraw from the Class B Reserve Account an amount equal to the Class B Reserve Account Surplus and (i) pay to Ford, the lesser of (x) such Class B Reserve Account Surplus and (y) all unpaid Ford Reimbursement Obligations and (ii) only for so long as the Ford LOC Exposure Amount is greater than zero, solely to the extent that after giving effect to such payment the Fleet Equity Condition would be satisfied, (A) pay to each Interest Rate Hedge Provider on a pro rata basis the lesser of (x) the excess of such Class B Reserve Account Surplus over the amounts paid pursuant to clause (i) above and (y) all amounts then due and owing to each such Interest Rate Hedge Provider under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge and (B) pay to HVF any portion of such Class B Reserve Account Surplus remaining after any required payments pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(A) above.

(f)            Termination of Class B Reserve Account.  On or after the date on which the Class B Notes are fully paid, each Interest Rate Hedge Provider has been paid all amounts due and owing to it from HVF under its Series 2005-1 Interest Rate Hedge and Ford has been paid all unpaid Ford Reimbursement Obligations, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, shall withdraw from the Class B Reserve Account, only for so long as the Ford LOC Exposure Amount is greater than zero, solely to the extent that after giving effect to such payment the Fleet Equity Condition would be satisfied, all remaining amounts on deposit therein for payment to HVF.

151




Clearing Agency Participant for Euroclear or Clearstream or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of such Restricted Global Note was reduced upon such exchange or transfer.

(e)           If a Series 2005-1 Note Owner holding a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note or an Unrestricted Global Note wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Regulation S Global Note or such Unrestricted Global Note for an interest in the Restricted Global Note, or to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, such exchange or transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(e).  Upon receipt by the Registrar, at the office of the Registrar, of (i) written instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures from a Clearing Agency Participant directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited to a specified Clearing Agency Participant’s account a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note in a principal amount equal to that of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note or such Unrestricted Global Note, as the case may be, to be so exchanged or transferred, (ii) a written order given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the account of the Clearing Agency Participant (and the Euroclear or Clearstream account, as the case may be) to be credited with, and the account of the Clearing Agency Participant to be debited for, such beneficial interest and (iii) with respect to a transfer of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note (but not such Unrestricted Global Note), a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F-3 given by such Series 2005-1 Note Owner holding such beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note, the Registrar shall instruct BNY MTC, as custodian of DTC, to reduce the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note or such Unrestricted Global Note, as the case may be, and to increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note, by the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Note or such Unrestricted Global Note to be so exchanged or transferred, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions (which shall be the Clearing Agency Participant for DTC) a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note having a principal amount equal to the amount by which the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note or such Unrestricted Global Note, as the case may be, was reduced upon such exchange or transfer.

(f)            In the event that a Series 2005-1 Global Note or any portion thereof is exchanged for Series 2005-1 Notes other than Series 2005-1 Global Notes, such other Series 2005-1 Notes may in turn be exchanged (upon transfer or otherwise) for Series 2005-1 Notes that are not Series 2005-1 Global Notes or for a beneficial interest in a Series 2005-1 Global Note (if any is then outstanding) only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of Sections 5.4(a) through Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(g) of this Series Supplement (including the certification requirement intended to ensure that transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in a Series 2005-1 Global Note comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under

152




the Securities Act, as the case may be) and any Applicable Procedures, as may be adopted from time to time by HVF and the Registrar.

(iv)          The required legends set forth above shall not be removed from the applicable Series 2005-1 Notes except as provided herein.  The legend required for a Restricted Note may be removed from such Restricted Note if there is delivered to HVF and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel as may be reasonably required by HVF that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Series 2005-1 Note will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee at the direction of HVF shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Restricted Note a Series 2005-1 Note or Series 2005-1 Notes having an equal aggregate principal amount that does not bear such legend.  If such a legend required for a Restricted Note has been removed from a Series 2005-1 Note as provided above, no other Series 2005-1 Note issued in exchange for all or any part of such Series 2005-1 Note shall bear such legend, unless HVF has reasonable cause to believe that such other Series 2005-1 Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and instructs the Trustee to cause a legend to appear thereon.

(i)            HVF shall take all actions that are required, necessary or desirable to cause the DTC Closing Availability to occur as soon as practicable unless otherwise directed by the Series 2005-1 Noteholders.

ANNEX B

Transfer or Exchange of Certificated Notes

(a)           The Certificated Notes may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for other Certificated Notes[, upon surrender of the Certificated Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose].  Upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability, the Restricted Certificated Notes shall immediately without any [notice or other] action on the part of any Noteholder, be transferred or exchanged, in whole and not in part, for Restricted Global Notes[, upon surrender of the Restricted Certificated Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose].  In the event that any such Certificated Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVF shall execute and after HVF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate, the Series 2005-1 Notes which the Series 2005-1 Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive or have a beneficial interest in, as applicable.

[Every Certificated Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require.]

[All Series 2005-1 Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificated Notes shall be the valid obligations of HVF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, as the Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.]

No service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes.

(b)           The transfer or exchange of a Restricted Certificated Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in a new Restricted Certificated Note or in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note shall be made upon the deemed representation of the transferee that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding HVF as such transferee has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A.

(c)           The holder of any Certificated Note may transfer the same in whole or in part, in an amount equivalent to an authorized denomination, by surrendering such Certificated Note at the office maintained by the Registrar for such purpose, with

170




the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to HVF and the Registrar by, the holder thereof and accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.  In exchange for any Certificated Note properly presented for transfer, HVF shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, one or more other Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount as was transferred.  In the case of the transfer of any Certificated Note in part, HVF shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to the transferor at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, one or more Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred.  [No transfer of any Certificated Note shall be made unless the request for such transfer is made by the Holder at such office.]  Neither HVF nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of transfer instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of transferred Certificated Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Certificated Note as Series 2005-1 Noteholders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability (i) all Certificated Notes which are Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes shall be exchanged for one or more Restricted Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Certificated Notes and Unrestricted Certificated Notes so exchanged and (ii) all Restricted Certificated Notes shall be exchanged or transferred for Restricted Global Notes.

(d)           Promptly upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability, the Trustee shall notify the Registrar, and upon receipt by the Registrar, at the office of the Registrar, of a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I given by the Series 2005-1 Noteholders holding Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes, the Registrar shall instruct BNY MTC to cancel each Restricted Certificated Note, Regulation S Certificated Note and Unrestricted Certificated Note, and shall instruct BNY MTC, as custodian of DTC, to transfer or exchange such Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes and Unrestricted Certificated Notes, as applicable, for an interest in Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes, as specified in such notice, and record the principal amount of such Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes, as applicable, in an amount equal to the principal amount of such exchanged or transferred Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes, as applicable, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Persons specified in such instructions (which shall be the Clearing Agency Participant for Euroclear or Clearstream or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global

(b)                                 The Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i)                                     The Series 2005-2 Designated Accounts are accounts to which “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) (“Financial Assets”) of the UCC in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) will be credited;

118




(ii)                                  All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Series 2005-2 Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Series 2005-2 Designated Account be registered in the name of HVF, payable to the order of HVF or specially endorsed to HVF;

(vii)                           The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Series Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Series 2005-2 Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Series Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 2.10(b)(v) of this Series Supplement; and

119




execution or similar process) against any Series 2005-2 Designated Account or in any Financial Asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Trustee, the Administrator and HVF thereof.

(c)                                  The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2005-2 Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2005-2 Designated Accounts.

Section 2.11.                             Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedges.

(a)                                  On the Series 2005-2 Closing Date, HVF shall acquire one or more interest rate caps or swaps, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer (each a “Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge”), from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider with funds available to it.  The aggregate initial notional amount of all Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedges shall equal the sum of the Class A-1 Principal Amount, the Class A-3 Principal Amount, the Class A-5 Principal Amount, the Class B-1 Principal Amount, the Class B-3 Principal Amount and the Class B-5 Principal Amount on the Series 2005-2 Closing Date, and, thereafter, the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedges may be reduced pursuant to the related Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge but shall not at any time be less than the sum of the Class A-1 Principal Amount, the Class A-3 Principal Amount, the Class A-5 Principal Amount, the Class B-1 Principal Amount, the Class B-3 Principal Amount and the Class B-5 Principal Amount.  The strike rate of each Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a cap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  The fixed rate of each Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a swap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  HVF shall satisfy the Series 2005-2 Rating Agency Condition and, so long as any Class A Notes are Outstanding, obtain the consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with its acquisition of any Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge.  The Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge must provide that (i) no payments from the Series 2005-2 Hedge Provider to HVF shall be conditioned upon payment of amounts (other than the Monthly Hedge Payment) due to such Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge Provider from HVF, to the extent that any such non-payment resulted solely from the Fleet Equity Condition failing to be satisfied, (ii) the Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall provide to the Insurer a copy of any notice of payment default delivered to HVF, simultaneously with delivery of such notice to HVF and (iii) in the event that HVF shall fail to pay any amounts due to the Series 2005-2 Hedge Provider under such Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall have the right to make any such payment on behalf of HVF.  For so long as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not in default under its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, and such Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge continues to be in effect, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall constitute an “Enhancement Provider” with respect to the Series 2005-2 Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the other Related Documents, and each Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party shall constitute an “Enhancement Agreement” with respect to the Series 2005-2 Notes for all purposes under the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents.  Furthermore, each Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deemed to be a “Secured Party” under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents to the extent

120




of amounts payable to each such Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to this Series Supplement.

(b)                                 If, at any time, an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider, then HVF shall cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider within 30 days following such occurrence, at such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s expense, to do one of the following:  (i) obtain a replacement interest rate cap or swap on the same terms as the Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement HVF shall terminate the Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced, (ii) obtain a guaranty from, or contingent agreement of (in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer), another person who qualifies as an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider to honor such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge in accordance with its terms and written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s that the substantive terms of the guaranty agreement are sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating, (iii) post collateral pursuant to and in accordance with its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, or (iv) enter into any arrangement satisfactory to Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which is sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.  If HVF is unable to cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence after making commercially reasonable efforts, (I) HVF will obtain a replacement Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge at the expense of the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider or, if the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to make such payment, at the expense of HVF (in which event, such amount will be considered Carrying Charges and paid solely from Interest Collections available pursuant to Section 2.3(h) of this Series Supplement) and (II) to the extent that HVF does not obtain a replacement Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall be deemed to have been materially and adversely effected.  HVF must cause each Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge to provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iv) above and such action is not taken within 30 days, then the Interest Rate Hedge Provider must, until a replacement Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge is executed and in effect, collateralize its obligations as required under clause (iii) above.  Each Series 2005-2 Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series 2005-2 Note hereby acknowledges and agrees, and directs the Trustee to acknowledge and agree, and the Trustee, at such direction, hereby acknowledges and agrees, that any collateral posted by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) is collateral solely for the obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider under its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, (B) does not constitute collateral for the Series 2005-2 Notes (provided that in order to secure and provide for the payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-2 Notes, HVF has pledged each Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge and its security interest in any collateral posted in connection therewith as collateral for the Series 2005-2 Notes), and (C) will in no event be available to satisfy any

121




obligations of HVF hereunder or otherwise unless and until such Interest Rate Hedge Provider defaults in its obligations under its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge and such collateral is applied in accordance with the terms of such Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge to satisfy such defaulted obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider.

(c)                                  If the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider, or the Person that guarantees all of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge, is withdrawn or falls to or below “Baa1” by Moody’s or to or below “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, then the Insurer may terminate such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge if, after 10 Business Days after the occurrence of such rating withdrawal or fall, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider has not, at its own expense, (i) obtained a replacement interest rate swap or cap on the same terms as the Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) provided by such Interest Rate Hedge Provider from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement terminated the Series 2005-2 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced or (ii) entered into any arrangement satisfactory to S&P, Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, will not have been unreasonably withheld or delayed, which was sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.

(viii)                        the Trustee shall have received opinions of counsel substantially similar to those received in connection with the offering and sale of the Class A Notes, including without limitation, opinions to the effect that:

163




(A)                              the Class B Notes will be characterized as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes,
(B)                                the issuance of the Class B Notes will not affect adversely the United States federal income tax characterization of any Series of Notes outstanding or Class thereof that was (based upon on Opinion of Counsel) characterized as debt at the time of their issuance and HVF will not be classified as an association or as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes,
(C)                                all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement and constitute all the documents required to be delivered hereunder and thereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Class B Notes, and all conditions precedent provided for in the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement with respect to the authentication and delivery of the Class B Notes have been complied with,

(E)                                 the Class B Notes being issued on such Series 2005-2 Class B Notes Closing Date have been duly authorized and executed and, when authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, will constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of HVF entitled to the benefits of the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, subject, in the case of enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity,
(F)                                 each of the Class B Notes Term Sheets with respect to Class B Notes being issued on such Series 2005-2 Class B Notes Closing Date and this Series Supplement, as supplemented thereby, is a legal, valid and binding agreement of HVF, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity; and
(G)                                such other documents, instruments, certifications, agreements or other items as the Trustee may reasonably require.

164

ANNEX B

Transfer or Exchange of Certificated Notes

(a)                                  The Certificated Notes may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for other Certificated Notes[, upon surrender of the Certificated Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose].  Upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability, the Restricted Certificated Notes shall immediately without any [notice or other] action on the part of any Noteholder, be transferred or exchanged, in whole and not in part, for Restricted Global Notes[, upon surrender of the Restricted Certificated Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose].  In the event that any such Certificated Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, HVF shall execute and after HVF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate, the Series 2005-2 Notes which the Series 2005-2 Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive or have a beneficial interest in, as applicable.

[Every Certificated Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require.]

[All Series 2005-2 Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Certificated Notes shall be the valid obligations of HVF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under the Base Indenture and this Series Supplement, as the Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.]

No service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes.

(b)                                 The transfer or exchange of a Restricted Certificated Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in a new Restricted Certificated Note or in the form of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note shall be made upon the deemed representation of the transferee that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding HVF as such transferee has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A.

(c)                                  The holder of any Certificated Note may transfer the same in whole or in part, in an amount equivalent to an authorized denomination, by surrendering such Certificated Note at the office maintained by the Registrar for such purpose, with the form of transfer endorsed on it duly completed and executed by, or accompanied by a

166




written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to HVF and the Registrar by, the holder thereof and accompanied by a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.  In exchange for any Certificated Note properly presented for transfer, HVF shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered in compliance with applicable law, to the transferee at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, one or more other Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount as was transferred.  In the case of the transfer of any Certificated Note in part, HVF shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered to the transferor at such office, or send by mail (at the risk of the transferor) to such address as the transferor may request, one or more Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount that was not transferred.  [No transfer of any Certificated Note shall be made unless the request for such transfer is made by the Holder at such office.]  Neither HVF nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of transfer instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.  Upon the issuance of transferred Certificated Notes, the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Certificated Note as Series 2005-2 Noteholders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability (i) all Certificated Notes which are Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes shall be exchanged for one or more Restricted Certificated Notes (as the transferee may request) which collectively have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Certificated Notes and Unrestricted Certificated Notes so exchanged and (ii) all Restricted Certificated Notes shall be exchanged or transferred for Restricted Global Notes.

(d)                                 Promptly upon the occurrence of the DTC Closing Availability, the Trustee shall notify the Registrar, and upon receipt by the Registrar, at the office of the Registrar, of a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I given by the Series 2005-2 Noteholders holding Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes, the Registrar shall instruct BNY MTC to cancel each Restricted Certificated Note, Regulation S Certificated Note and Unrestricted Certificated Note, and shall instruct BNY MTC, as custodian of DTC, to transfer or exchange such Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes and Unrestricted Certificated Notes, as applicable, for an interest in Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes, as specified in such notice, and record the principal amount of such Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes, as applicable, in an amount equal to the principal amount of such exchanged or transferred Restricted Certificated Notes, Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes, as applicable, and to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Persons specified in such instructions (which shall be the Clearing Agency Participant for Euroclear or Clearstream or both, as the case may be) a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Notes, Regulation S Global Notes and Unrestricted Global Notes, as applicable, having a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such exchanged or transferred Restricted Certificated Notes,

167




Regulation S Certificated Notes or Unrestricted Certificated Notes, as specified in such notice.

Hedge Provider to HVF shall be conditioned upon payment of amounts (other than the Monthly Hedge Payment) due to such Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge Provider from HVF, to the extent that any such non-payment resulted only from the Fleet Equity Condition failing to be satisfied, (ii) the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall provide to the Insurer a copy of any notice of payment default delivered to HVF, simultaneously with delivery of such notice to HVF and (iii) in the event that HVF shall fail to pay any amounts due to the Series 2005-3 Hedge Provider under such Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall have the right to make any such payment on behalf of HVF.  For so long as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not in default under its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, and such Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge continues to be in effect, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall constitute an “Enhancement Provider” with respect to the Series 2005-3 Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the other Related Documents, and each Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party shall constitute an “Enhancement Agreement” with respect to the Series 2005-3 Notes for all purposes under the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents.  Furthermore, each Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deemed to be a “Secured Party” under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents to the extent of amounts payable to each such Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to this Series Supplement.

(b)           If, at any time, an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider, then HVF shall cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider within 30 days following such occurrence, at such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s expense, to do one of the following:  (i) obtain a replacement interest rate cap or swap on the same terms as the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement HVF shall terminate the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced, (ii) obtain a guaranty from, or contingent agreement of (in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer), another person who qualifies as an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider to honor such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge in accordance with its terms and written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s that the substantive terms of the guaranty agreement are sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating, (iii) post collateral pursuant to and in accordance with its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, or (iv) enter into any arrangement satisfactory to Standard & Poor’s,  Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which is sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.  If HVF is unable to cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence after making commercially reasonable efforts, (I) HVF will obtain a replacement Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge at the expense of the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider or, if the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to make such payment, at the expense of HVF (in which event, such amount will be considered Carrying Charges and paid solely from Interest Collections available pursuant to

114




Section 3.3(h) of this Series Supplement) and (II) to the extent that HVF does not obtain a replacement Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall be deemed to have been materially and adversely effected. HVF must cause each Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge to provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iv) above and such action is not taken within 30 days, then the Interest Rate Hedge Provider must, until a replacement Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge is executed and in effect, collateralize its obligations as required under clause (iii) above.  Each Series 2005-3 Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series 2005-3 Note hereby acknowledges and agrees, and directs the Trustee to acknowledge and agree, and the Trustee, at such direction, hereby acknowledges and agrees, that any collateral posted by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) is collateral solely for the obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider under its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, (B) does not constitute collateral for the Series 2005-3 Notes (provided that in order to secure and provide for the payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-3 Notes, HVF has pledged each Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge and its security interest in any collateral posted in connection therewith as collateral for the Series 2005-3 Notes), and (C) will in no event be available to satisfy any obligations of HVF hereunder or otherwise unless and until such Interest Rate Hedge Provider defaults in its obligations under its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge and such collateral is applied in accordance with the terms of such Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge to satisfy such defaulted obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider.

(c)           If the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider, or the Person that guarantees all of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge, is withdrawn or falls to or below “Baa1” by Moody’s or to or below “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, then the Insurer may terminate such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge if, after 10 Business Days after the occurrence of such rating withdrawal or fall, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider has not, at its own expense, (i) obtained a replacement interest rate swap or cap on the same terms as the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) provided by such Interest Rate Hedge Provider from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement terminated the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced or (ii) entered into any arrangement satisfactory to S&P, Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes have not been paid in full and retired, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, will not have been unreasonably withheld or delayed, which was sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.

(d)           To secure payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-3 Notes, HVF hereby grants a security interest in, and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2005-3 Noteholders and the Insurer , all of HVF’s right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, in the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedges and all proceeds thereof.  HVF shall require all proceeds of the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate Hedges to be paid, and the Trustee shall allocate, all proceeds of the Series 2005-3 Interest Rate

grants a security interest in and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2005-4 Noteholders and Ford, all of HVF’s right, title and interest in and to the following (whether now or hereafter existing or acquired): (i) the Series 2005-4 Distribution Account, including any security entitlement thereto; (ii) all funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iii) all certificates and instruments, if any, representing or evidencing any or all of the Series 2005-4 Distribution Account or the funds on deposit therein from time to time; (iv) all investments made at any time and from time to time with monies in the Series 2005-4 Distribution Account, whether constituting securities, instruments, general intangibles, investment property, financial assets or other property; (v) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for the Series 2005-4 Distribution Account, the funds on deposit therein from time to time or the investments made with such funds; and (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including, without limitation, cash (the items in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) are referred to, collectively, as the “Series 2005-4 Distribution Account Collateral”).

Section 3.11.          Trustee as Securities Intermediary.

(a)           The Trustee or other Person holding the Series 2005-4 Collection Account, the Series 2005-4 Excess Collection Account, the Series 2005-4 Accrued Interest Account, the Class A Reserve Account, the Class B Reserve Account, the Series 2005-4 Cash Collateral Account or the Series 2005-4 Distribution Account (each a “Series 2005-4 Designated Account”) shall be the “Securities Intermediary”.  If the Securities Intermediary in respect of any Series 2005-4 Designated Account is not the Trustee, HVF shall obtain the express agreement of such Person to the obligations of the Securities Intermediary set forth in this Section 3.11.

(b)           The Securities Intermediary agrees that:

(i)            The Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts are accounts to which “financial assets” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) (“Financial Assets”) of the UCC in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) will be credited;

(ii)           All securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to any Series 2005-4 Designated Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any Financial Asset credited to any Series 2005-4 Designated Account be registered in the name of HVF, payable to the order of HVF or specially endorsed to HVF;

(iii)          All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Series Supplement will be promptly credited to the appropriate Series 2005-4 Designated Account;

99




(iv)          Each item of property (whether investment property, security, instrument or cash) credited to a Series 2005-4 Designated Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

(v)           If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any order from the Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any Financial Asset relating to the Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by HVF or the Administrator;

(vi)          The Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, regardless of any provision of any other agreement.  For purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to the Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction and the Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts (as well as the “securities entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the New York UCC) related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York;

(vii)         The Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until termination of this Series Supplement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other Person relating to the Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts and/or any Financial Assets credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) of such other Person and the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination of this Series Supplement will not enter into, any agreement with HVF purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 3.11(b)(v) of this Series Supplement; and

(c)           The Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts and in all proceeds thereof, and shall be the only person authorized to originate entitlement orders in respect of the Series 2005-4 Designated Accounts.

Section 3.12.          Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges.

(a)           On the Series 2005-4 Closing Date, HVF shall acquire one or more interest rate caps or swaps, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer (each a “Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge”), from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider with funds available to it.  The aggregate initial notional amount of all Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges shall equal the Class B-1 Principal Amount on the Series 2005-4 Closing Date, and, thereafter, the aggregate notional amount of all Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges may be reduced pursuant to the related Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge but shall not at any time be less than the Class B-1 Principal Amount.  The strike rate of each Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a cap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  The fixed rate of each Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge in the form of a swap shall not be greater than 4.87%.  HVF shall satisfy the Series 2005-4 Rating Agency Condition and, so long as the Class A Notes have not been paid in full and retired, obtain the consent of the Insurer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in connection with its acquisition of any Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge.  The Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge must provide that (i) no payments from the Series 2005-4 Hedge Provider to HVF shall be conditioned upon payment of amounts (other than the Monthly Hedge Payment) due to such Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge Provider from HVF, to the extent that any such non-payment resulted only from the Fleet Equity Condition failing to be satisfied, (ii) the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall provide to the Insurer a copy of any notice of payment default delivered to HVF, simultaneously with delivery of such notice to HVF and (iii) in the event that HVF shall fail to pay any amounts due to the Series 2005-4 Hedge Provider under such Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall have the right to make any such payment on behalf of HVF.  For so long as an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not in default under its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, and such Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge continues to be in effect, such Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall constitute an “Enhancement Provider” with respect to the Series 2005-4 Notes for all purposes under the Indenture and the other Related Documents, and each Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party shall constitute an “Enhancement Agreement” with respect to the Series 2005-4 Notes for all purposes under the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents.  Furthermore, each Interest Rate Hedge Provider shall be deemed to be a “Secured Party” under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents to the extent of amounts payable to each such Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to this Series Supplement.

(b)           If, at any time, an Interest Rate Hedge Provider is not an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider, then HVF shall cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider within 30 days following such occurrence, at such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s expense, to do one of the following:  (i) obtain a replacement interest rate cap or swap on the same terms as the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge to which such Interest Rate Hedge Provider is a party (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement HVF shall terminate the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced, (ii) obtain a guaranty from, or contingent agreement of (in each case, in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer), another person who qualifies as an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider to honor such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge in accordance with its terms and written confirmation from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s that the substantive terms of

101




the guaranty agreement are sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating, (iii) post collateral pursuant to and in accordance with its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, or (iv) enter into any arrangement satisfactory to Standard & Poor’s,  Moody’s and, so long as the Class A Notes are Outstanding, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which is sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.  If HVF is unable to cause such Interest Rate Hedge Provider to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence after making commercially reasonable efforts, (I) HVF will obtain a replacement Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge at the expense of the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider or, if the replaced Interest Rate Hedge Provider fails to make such payment, at the expense of HVF (in which event, such amount will be considered Carrying Charges and paid solely from Interest Collections available pursuant to Section 3.3(h) of this Series Supplement) and (II) to the extent that HVF does not obtain a replacement Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, the Insurer shall be deemed to have been materially and adversely effected. HVF must cause each Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge to provide that if the Interest Rate Hedge Provider is required to take any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), or (iv) above and such action is not taken within 30 days, then the Interest Rate Hedge Provider must, until a replacement Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge is executed and in effect, collateralize its obligations as required under clause (iii) above.  Each Series 2005-4 Noteholder by its acceptance of a Series 2005-4 Note hereby acknowledges and agrees, and directs the Trustee to acknowledge and agree, and the Trustee, at such direction, hereby acknowledges and agrees, that any collateral posted by an Interest Rate Hedge Provider pursuant to clause (iii) above (A) is collateral solely for the obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider under its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, (B) does not constitute collateral for the Series 2005-4 Notes (provided that in order to secure and provide for the payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-4 Notes, HVF has pledged each Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge and its security interest in any collateral posted in connection therewith as collateral for the Series 2005-4 Notes), and (C) will in no event be available to satisfy any obligations of HVF hereunder or otherwise unless and until such Interest Rate Hedge Provider defaults in its obligations under its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge and such collateral is applied in accordance with the terms of such Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge to satisfy such defaulted obligations of such Interest Rate Hedge Provider.

(c)           If the long-term senior unsecured debt rating of an Interest Rate Hedge Provider, or the Person that guarantees all of the Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s obligations under its Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge, is withdrawn or falls to or below “Baa1” by Moody’s or to or below “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s, then the Insurer may terminate such Interest Rate Hedge Provider’s Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge if, after 10 Business Days after the occurrence of such rating withdrawal or fall, the Interest Rate Hedge Provider has not, at its own expense, (i) obtained a replacement interest rate swap or cap on the same terms as the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge (or with such modifications as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies and the Insurer) provided by such Interest Rate Hedge Provider from an Eligible Interest Rate Hedge Provider and simultaneously with such replacement terminated the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedge being replaced or (ii) entered into any arrangement satisfactory to S&P, Moody’s and, so

102




long as the Class A Notes have not been paid in full and retired, the Insurer, which approval of the Insurer, during any period when an Insurer Default is continuing, will not have been unreasonably withheld or delayed, which was sufficient to maintain or restore the immediately prior Shadow Rating.

(d)           To secure payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2005-4 Notes, HVF hereby grants a security interest in, and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2005-4 Noteholders and the Insurer , all of HVF’s right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, in the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges and all proceeds thereof.  HVF shall require all proceeds of the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges to be paid, and the Trustee shall allocate, all proceeds of the Series 2005-4 Interest Rate Hedges to the Series 2005-4 Accrued Interest Account or the Series 2005-4 Collection Account.

(b)           Other than pursuant to a payment made upon a demand thereon by the Trustee, HVF shall not reduce the amount of the Series 2005-4 Demand Note or forgive amounts payable thereunder so that the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2005-4 Demand Note after such reduction or forgiveness is less than the sum of the Class A Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount and the Class B Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount.  HVF shall not agree, to any amendment of the Series 2005-4 Demand Note without first satisfying the Series 2005-4 Rating Agency Condition.

(c)           HVF agrees that on the Series 2005-4 Closing Date it will have capitalization in an amount equal to or greater than 4.17% of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2004-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, (ii) the maximum outstanding principal amount of the Series 2005-4 Notes, (iii) the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2005-1 Notes, (iv) the outstanding principal amount of the Series 2005-2 Notes and (v) the maximum outstanding principal amount of the Series 2005-3 Notes.

(e)  To secure payment of the Note Obligations with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes, HVF hereby grants a security interest in, and assigns, pledges, grants, transfers and sets over to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and the Insurer, all of HVF’s right, title and interest, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, in the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedges and all proceeds thereof.  HVF shall require all proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedges to be paid to, and the Trustee shall deposit all proceeds of the Series 2004-1 Interest Rate Hedges into, the Series 2004-1 Collection Account.

Right to Waive Purchase Restrictions

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or the Related Documents, upon the Trustee’s receipt of notice from HVF (i) to the effect that a Manufacturer Program is no longer an Eligible Manufacturer Program and that, as a result, the Series 2004-1 Maximum Non-Eligible Vehicle Amount is or will be exceeded or (ii) that HVF and the Lessee have determined to increase any Series 2004-1 Maximum Amount, (each such notice, a “Waiver Request”), each Series 2004-1 Noteholder may, at its option, waive the Series 2004-1 Maximum Non-Eligible Vehicle Amount or any other Series 2004-1 Maximum Amount (collectively, a “Waivable Amount”) if (i) no Amortization Event exists, (ii) the Required Noteholders with respect to the

85




Series 2004-1 Notes and the Insurer consent to such waiver and (iii) 30 days’ prior written notice of such proposed waiver is provided to the Rating Agencies by the Trustee.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request (a copy of which the Trustee shall promptly provide to the Rating Agencies), all amounts which would otherwise be deposited into the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account (collectively, the “Designated Amounts”) from the date the Trustee receives a Waiver Request through the Consent Period Expiration Date will be held by the Trustee in the Series 2004-1 Collection Account for ratable distribution as described below.

Within ten (10) Business Days after the Trustee receives a Waiver Request, the Trustee shall furnish notice thereof to the Series 2004-1 Noteholders and the Insurer, which notice shall be accompanied by a form of consent (each a “Consent”) in the form of Exhibit E by which the Series 2004-1 Noteholders may, on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, consent to waive the applicable Waivable Amount.  If the Trustee receives Consents from the Required Noteholders with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes agreeing to waive the applicable Waivable Amount and the consent of the Insurer and within forty-five (45) days after the Trustee notifies the Series 2004-1 Noteholders of a Waiver Request (the day on which such forty-five (45) day period expires, the “Consent Period Expiration Date”), (i) the applicable Waivable Amount shall be deemed waived by the consenting Series 2004-1 Noteholders, (ii) the Trustee will distribute the Designated Amounts as set forth below and (iii) the Trustee shall promptly (but in any event within two days) provide the Rating Agency with notice of such waiver.  Any Series 2004-1 Noteholder from whom the Trustee has not received a Consent on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date will be deemed not to have consented to such waiver.

If the Trustee receives Consents from the Required Noteholders with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes and the consent of the Insurer on or before the Consent Period Expiration Date, then on the immediately following Payment Date, the Trustee will pay the Designated Amounts as follows:

(i) to the non-consenting Series 2004-1 Noteholders, if any, pro rata up to the amount required to pay all Series 2004-1 Notes held by such non-consenting Series 2004-1 Noteholders in full; and

(ii) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account.

If the amount paid pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph is not paid in full on the date specified therein, then on each day following such Payment Date, the Administrator will deposit into the Series 2004-1 Collection Account on a daily basis all Designated Amounts collected on such day.  On each following Payment Date, the Trustee will withdraw a portion of such Designated Amounts from the Series 2004-1

86




Collection Account and deposit the same in the Series 2004-1 Distribution Account for distribution as follows:

(A) to the non-consenting Series 2004-1 Noteholders, if any, pro rata an amount equal to the Designated Amounts in the Series 2004-1 Collection Account as of the applicable Determination Date up to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Series 2004-1 Notes held by the non-consenting Series 2004-1 Noteholders; and
(B) any remaining Designated Amounts to the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account.

If the Required Noteholders with respect to the Series 2004-1 Notes or the Insurer does not timely consent to such waiver, the Designated Amounts will be withdrawn from the Series 2004-1 Collection Account and deposited into the Series 2004-1 Excess Collection Account for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Related Documents.

In the event that the Series 2004-1 Rapid Amortization Period shall commence after receipt by the Trustee of a Waiver Request, all such Designated Amounts will thereafter be considered Principal Collections allocated to the Series 2004-1 Noteholders.

OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL BECAUSE THE REGISTERED OWNER, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

(iv) The required legends set forth above shall not be removed from the applicable Series 2004-1 Notes except as provided herein.  The legend required for a Restricted Note may be removed from such Restricted Note if there is delivered to HVF and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel as may be reasonably required by HVF that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Series 2004-1 Note will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee at the direction of HVF shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Restricted Note a Series 2004-1 Note or Series 2004-1 Notes having an equal aggregate principal amount that does not bear such legend.  If such a legend required for a Restricted Note has been removed from a Series 2004-1 Note as provided above, no other Series 2004-1 Note issued in exchange for all or any part of such Series 2004-1 Note shall bear such legend, unless HVF has reasonable cause to believe that such other Series 2004-1 Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and instructs the Trustee to cause a legend to appear thereon.

2.4.  Lessee’s Right to Purchase Vehicles.  The Lessee shall have the option, exercisable with respect to any Vehicle during the Vehicle Term, to purchase such Vehicle for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Termination Value or (ii) the Market Value of such Vehicle, in each case, as of the date such amount shall be deposited in the Collection Account (the greater of such amounts being referred to as the “Vehicle Purchase Price”).  In the event the Lessee exercises its option to purchase any Vehicle, the Lessee shall pay the Vehicle Purchase Price of such Vehicle to the Lessor on or before the Payment Date with respect to the Related Month in which the Lessee elects to purchase such Vehicle and the Lessee will pay on or before such Payment Date all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and any Monthly Variable Rent then due and payable with respect to such Vehicle through such Payment Date.  Monthly Base Rent and




Monthly Variable Rent will continue to accrue with respect to such Vehicle through such Payment Date.  The Lessor shall transfer title to any such Vehicle to, or shall direct the Nominee, the Hertz Nominee or the HFC Nominee, as applicable, to transfer title to any such Vehicle to, the Lessee concurrently with or promptly after the deposit of Vehicle Purchase Price (and any such unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Monthly Variable Rent) into the Collection Account.

2.5.  Lessor’s Right to Cause Vehicles to be Sold.  If the Lessee does not elect to purchase any Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.4, then:

2.6.  Redesignation of Vehicles.  At any time, including without limitation, if (i) a Program Vehicle becomes ineligible for repurchase by its Manufacturer or for sale at Auction under the applicable Manufacturer Program or (ii) the return of a Program Vehicle to the applicable Manufacturer cannot otherwise be effected for any reason, the Lessor (or the Servicer on its behalf and at its instruction) may redesignate a Program Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle, provided that, unless such Manufacturer is a Defaulting Manufacturer, no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding has occurred and is continuing or would be caused by such redesignation and provided further, in each case, that in connection with such redesignation the Lessor shall establish a Depreciation Schedule for such redesignated Non-Program Vehicle in accordance with Section 24 and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the next succeeding Payment Date an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Net Book Value of such Vehicle as of the date of redesignation and an amount (the “Redesignation Amount”) equal to the Net Book Value of such Vehicle as of the date of redesignation had such Vehicle been a Non-Program Vehicle on the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date for such Vehicle subject to such newly established Depreciation Schedule; provided further, however, that if a Program Vehicle is redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle under the circumstances described in Section 18(b), if (x) the Manufacturer of such redesignated Non-Program Vehicle assumes the related Manufacturer Program in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, (y) following such assumption, such redesignated Non-Program Vehicle continues to be eligible under such assumed Manufacturer Program and otherwise meets the qualifications for Program Vehicles under an Eligible Manufacturer Program and (z) there are at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Maximum Term for a Program Vehicle, the Lessor may redesignate such Non-Program Vehicle as a Program Vehicle, and, in connection with such redesignation, future Depreciation Charges in respect of such redesignated Program Vehicle shall be made in accordance with requirements for Program Vehicles set forth in the definition of Depreciation Charges and shall pay to the Lessee on the next succeeding Payment Date the Redesignation Amount paid by the Lessee to the Lessor in connection with the original designation of such Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle under the circumstances described in Section 18(b), together with an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Net Book Value of such redesignated Program Vehicle as of the date of redesignation and an amount (the “Assumption Redesignation Amount”) equal to the Net Book Value of such redesignated Program Vehicle as of the date of redesignation of such Vehicle as a Program Vehicle had such Vehicle been a Program Vehicle on the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date for such




Vehicle and such Vehicle had never been redesignated from a Program Vehicle to a Non-Program Vehicle; provided further that no payment shall be required to be made and no payment may be made by the Lessor pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso to the extent that an Amortization Event of Potential Amortization Event exists or would be caused by such payment.

2.7.  Limitations on the Leasing or Redesignation of Certain Vehicles.  The Lessor and the Lessee hereby agree that the Lessor shall not lease to the Lessee New Vehicles or Transferred Vehicles pursuant to Section 2.1, the Lessor shall not sell HVF Vehicles to HGI pursuant to Section 1.06 of the Purchase Agreement and the Lessor shall not redesignate Program Vehicles as Non-Program Vehicles pursuant to Section 2.6 if, as of the date of the addition of such New Vehicles or Transferred Vehicles hereunder, the sale of such HVF Vehicles or such redesignation, after giving effect to such addition, sale or redesignation, (a) an Enhancement Deficiency would exist (after giving effect to any simultaneous voluntary increases in the level of Enhancement permitted under the Indenture), unless (i) such addition, sale or redesignation would decrease the amount of, or cure, such Enhancement Deficiency or (ii) in the case of such redesignation, the Manufacturer of the applicable Vehicle is a Defaulting Manufacturer or (b) there would be a failure or violation of any other conditions, requirements or restrictions with respect to the leasing of Eligible Vehicles under this Agreement as is specified in any Series Supplement.

4.3.  Rent.  “Rent” for each Vehicle means the Monthly Base Rent plus Monthly Variable Rent for such Vehicle.

4.4.  Monthly Base Rent Adjustments.  (a)  If the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs (i) with respect to a Program Vehicle, prior to the In-Service Date for such Program Vehicle pursuant to its Manufacturer Program set forth in the Monthly Servicing Certificate for the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs or (ii) with respect to a Non-Program Vehicle, prior to the date designated as the In-Service Date of such Non-Program Vehicle set forth in the Monthly Servicing Certificate for the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs, the Depreciation Charges that accrued with respect to such Vehicle between its Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date and its In-Service Date during the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs shall be deducted from the Monthly Base Rent for such Vehicle for the following Payment Date.

(b)  If the Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs (i) with respect to a Program Vehicle, after the In-Service Date for such Program Vehicle pursuant to its Manufacturer Program set forth in the Monthly Servicing Certificate for the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs or (ii) with




respect to a Non-Program Vehicle, after the date designated as the In-Service Date of such Non-Program Vehicle set forth in the Monthly Servicing Certificate for the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs, the Depreciation Charges that accrued with respect to such Non-Program Vehicle between its In-Service Date and its Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date during the Related Month in which such Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date occurs shall be included in the Monthly Base Rent for such Vehicle for the following Payment Date.

(c)  If a Program Vehicle is subject to a Manufacturer Program that calculates Depreciation Charges on a basis other than a 30-day month, an adjustment shall be made to the Monthly Base Rent for such Vehicle for the Payment Date following the Related Month in which the Vehicle Operating Lease Expiration Date for such Program Vehicle occurs to reconcile the Depreciation Charges that accrued with respect to such Program Vehicle during the Vehicle Term of such Program Vehicle with the depreciation charges that accrued with respect to such Program Vehicle under the applicable Manufacturer Program.

4.5.  Payment of Monthly Base Rent.  On each Payment Date, after giving full credit for all prepayments on account thereof pursuant to Section 4.12, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Base Rent for such Payment Date for each Vehicle that was leased by the Lessee under this Agreement on any day during the Related Month.

4.6.  Payment of Monthly Variable Rent.  On each Payment Date, after giving full credit for all prepayments on account thereof pursuant to Section 4.12, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor the Monthly Variable Rent for such Payment Date for each Vehicle that was leased by the Lessee under this Agreement on any day during the Related Month.

4.7.  Rejected Vehicles.  If a Vehicle becomes a Rejected Vehicle on any day during the Related Month and HGI makes the Rejected Vehicle Payment within five Business Days of the date such Vehicle became a Rejected Vehicle, Monthly Base Rent shall not be payable by the Lessee in respect of such Vehicle for the following Payment Date.  If a payment of Monthly Base Rent is made on the Payment Date during the Related Month in which a Vehicle becomes a Rejected Vehicle, the amount of such payment shall be credited to the Lessee on the following Payment Date (such amount being referred to as a “Rejected Vehicle Credit”).

4.8.  Making of Payments.  All payments of Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) shall be made by the Lessee to, or for the account of, the Lessor in immediately available funds, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.  All such payments shall be deposited into the Collection Account not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date due.  If any payment of Rent (or any other payments hereunder) falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next following Business Day and Monthly Variable Rent shall accrue through such Business Day.  If the Lessee pays




less than the entire amount of Rent (or any other amounts) due on any Payment Date, after giving full credit for all prepayments made with respect to such Payment Date pursuant to Section 4.12, then the payment received from the Lessee in respect of such Payment Date shall be first applied to the Monthly Variable Rent due on such Payment Date.

4.9.  Billing Process.  The Servicer shall calculate all Rent, Casualty Payments, Special Default Payments, Early Termination Payments, Redesignation Amounts and Rejected Vehicle Credits.  The Servicer shall aggregate the Lessee’s Rent due on all Vehicles, together with any other amounts due to the Lessor and any credits owing to the Lessee, and provide to the Lessor a monthly statement of the total amount, in a form acceptable to the Lessor, no later than the Determination Date.  The monthly statement shall include a description of the charges owing from the Lessee and credits owing to the Lessee.

4.12.  Prepayments.  On any date, the Lessee may, at its option, pay to the Lessor, in whole or in part, any month’s Rent or other payments, or portion thereof, in advance of the related Payment Date to the extent that such Rent or other payments have accrued.

4.13.  Net Lease.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE A NET LEASE, AND THE LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER SUMS HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL, AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM, DEDUCTION OR REDUCTION FOR ANY REASON

5.2.  Delivery of Certificate of Insurance.  On or prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Lessee shall deliver to the Lessor, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a certificate(s) of insurance/self-insurance as to the items required by Section 5.1 herein above.  The Lessee shall not change or cancel such insurance/self-insurance without giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lessor, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.  Any insurance, as opposed to self-insurance, obtained by the Lessee shall be obtained from a  Qualified Insurer only.

6.  RISK OF LOSS; CASUALTY AND INELIGIBLE VEHICLE OBLIGATIONS.

6.1.  Risk of Loss Borne by Lessees.  Upon payment by the Lessor for each Vehicle, as between the Lessor and the Lessee, the Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such Vehicle, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities, including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to such Vehicle or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair, storage, sale, return or other disposition of such Vehicle, howsoever arising.

7.  VEHICLE USE.  The Lessee may use Vehicles leased hereunder in its regular course of business and the Lessee’s and its subsidiaries’ employees may use Vehicles leased hereunder in their personal or professional capacities, subject to Sections 2.5 and 17 hereof and Section 9.2 of the Base Indenture.  Such use shall be confined primarily to




the United States, with limited use in Canada and Mexico; provided that the principal place of business or rental office of the Lessee with respect to the Vehicles is located in the United States.  Subject to the preceding sentence, the Lessee may, at its sole expense, change the place of principal location of any Vehicles.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of location shall be undertaken unless and until all legal requirements applicable to such Vehicles shall have been met or obtained.  The Lessee shall not knowingly use any Vehicles or knowingly permit the same to be used for any unlawful purpose.  The Lessee shall use reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to Vehicles.  The Lessee shall comply with all applicable statutes, decrees, ordinances and regulations regarding titling, registering, leasing, insuring and disposing of Vehicles and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that operators are licensed.  The Lessee and the Lessor agree that the Lessee shall perform, at its own expense, such Vehicle preparation and conditioning services with respect to Vehicles leased by the Lessee hereunder as are customary.  The Lessor or the Trustee, or any authorized representative of the Lessor or the Trustee, may during reasonable business hours from time to time, without disruption of the Lessee’s business, subject to applicable law, inspect Vehicles wherever they are located.  In addition to its normal daily rental operations, the Lessee may sublet Vehicles to (A) Person(s) in the ordinary course of business, so long as (i) the sublease to such Person(s) is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) the Vehicles being subleased are being used in such Person(s)’ daily rental car business and (iii) the aggregate Net Book Value of the Vehicles being subleased at any one time is less than ten percent of the aggregate Net Book Value of all Vehicles being leased under this Agreement at such time, and (B) to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lessee (including HERC), so long as (i) the sublease of such Vehicles to such wholly-owned subsidiary is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and expressly states that it is subordinate in all respects to this Agreement and (ii) the Vehicles being subleased are being used in such wholly-owned subsidiary’s daily rental car business or equipment rental business, or by such subsidiary’s employees in their personal or professional capacities.  The sublease of any Vehicles permitted by this Section 7 shall not release the Lessee from any obligations under this Agreement.

8.  LIENS.  The Lessor may grant security interests in the Vehicles leased by the Lessee hereunder without consent of the Lessee.  Except for Permitted Liens, the Lessee shall keep all Vehicles free of all Liens arising during the Term.  If on the Vehicle Operating Lease Expiration Date for any Vehicle, there is a Lien on such Vehicle, the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove such Lien and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, will be paid by the Lessee upon demand by the Lessor.

9.  NON-DISTURBANCE.  So long as the Lessee satisfies its obligations hereunder, its quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the Vehicles will not be disturbed during the Term subject, however, to Sections 2.5 and 17 hereof and except that the Lessor and the Trustee each retains the right, but not the duty, to inspect such Vehicles without disturbing the ordinary conduct of the Lessee’s business.  Upon the request of the Lessor or the Trustee from time to time, the Lessee will make reasonable efforts to confirm to the Lessor and the Trustee the location, mileage and condition of each Vehicle leased by the Lessee hereunder and to make available for the Lessor’s or the Trustee’s




inspection within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 45 days, such Vehicles at the location where such Vehicles are normally domiciled.  Further, the Lessee will, during normal business hours and with prior notice of three Business Days, make its records pertaining to the Vehicles available to the Lessor or the Trustee for inspection at the location where the Lessee’s records are normally domiciled.

10.  FEES; TRAFFIC SUMMONSES; PENALTIES AND FINES.  The Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of all registration fees, title fees, license fees or other similar governmental fees and taxes (including the cost of any recording or registration fees or other similar governmental charges with respect to the notation on the Certificates of Title of the Vehicles of the interest of the Collateral Agent), all costs and expenses in connection with the transfer of title of, or reflection of the interest of any lienholder in, any Vehicle, traffic summonses, penalties, judgments and fines incurred with respect to any Vehicle leased hereunder during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle or imposed during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle by any Governmental Authority or any court of law or equity with respect to such Vehicles in connection with the Lessee’s operation of such Vehicles.  Pursuant to the Nominee Agreement, the Hertz Nominee Agreement or the HFC Nominee Agreement, the Lessor has directed the Nominee or the HFC Nominee, respectively, to execute a power of attorney to the Servicer to allow the Servicer to title, register and dispose of the Vehicles leased hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.  Pursuant to the Hertz Nominee Agreement, the Lessor has directed the Hertz Nominee to execute a power of attorney to the Lessor, and the Lessor has in turn executed a power of attorney to the Servicer, to allow the Servicer to title, register and dispose of the Vehicles leased hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.

11.  MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.  The Lessee shall pay for all maintenance and repairs to keep the Vehicles in good working order and condition, and the Lessee will maintain the Vehicles as required in order to keep the Manufacturer’s warranty in force.  The Lessee will return Vehicles to an authorized Manufacturer facility or Manufacturer authorized warranty station for warranty work.  The Lessee will comply with any Manufacturer’s recall of any Vehicle.  The Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all usual and routine expenses incurred in the use and operation of Vehicles including, but not limited to, fuel, lubricants, and coolants.  The Lessee shall not make any material alterations to any Vehicles without the prior consent of the Lessor.  Any improvements or additions to any Vehicles shall become and remain the property of the Lessor, except that any addition to Vehicles made by the Lessee shall remain the property of the Lessee if such addition can be disconnected from such Vehicles without impairing the functioning of such Vehicles or its resale value, excluding such addition.

12.  VEHICLE WARRANTIES.

12.1.  No Lessor Warranties.  THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER, THE AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE VEHICLES.  THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS, SAFENESS, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY OR




WORKMANSHIP OF THE VEHICLES NOR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE VEHICLES WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, AND AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, THE LESSEE AGREES TO BEAR ALL SUCH RISKS AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE.  THE LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY VEHICLE FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND, AS TO THE LESSOR, THE LESSEE LEASES THE VEHICLES “AS IS.”  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER CAUSED.

12.2.  Manufacturer’s Warranties.  If a Vehicle is covered by a Manufacturer’s warranty, the Lessee, during the Vehicle Term for such Vehicle, shall have the right to make any claims under such warranty which the Lessor could make.

13.  VEHICLE USAGE GUIDELINES AND RETURN; SPECIAL DEFAULT PAYMENTS; EARLY TERMINATION PAYMENTS.

13.1.  Usage.  As used herein, “Vehicle Turn-In Condition” (a) with respect to each Program Vehicle shall mean the standard established by a set of criteria for evaluating such Vehicle upon its delivery to the Manufacturer and shall be determined in accordance with the related Manufacturer Program and (b) with respect to each Non-Program Vehicle shall mean (i) if such Non-Program Vehicle is manufactured by the same Manufacturer as any Program Vehicle leased hereunder, the same standard as required with respect to such Program Vehicle and (ii) if such Non-Program Vehicle does not satisfy clause (i) above, such condition that would reasonably be considered to be normal wear and tear or otherwise de minimis damages by the Manufacturer of such Vehicle (or its authorized agent) under such Manufacturer’s Manufacturer Program or, if such Manufacturer does not maintain a Manufacturer Program, under the Manufacturer Program of another Manufacturer with comparable sales volume.

13.2.  Return.  The Lessee agrees that the Vehicles will be in Vehicle Turn-In Condition upon return to the Lessor pursuant to Section 2.3.  Any rebate or credits applicable to the unexpired term of any license plates for a Vehicle leased hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the Lessee.  Each Program Vehicle not meeting the Vehicle Turn-In Condition under the applicable Manufacturer Program will, unless redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Section 2.6, be treated as a Casualty.  The Lessee will provide condition report data concerning the Program Vehicles returned to the Manufacturers during the Related Month to the Lessor in the format set forth on the Condition Report(s) on the Determination Date.

13.3.  Special Default Payments.  (a)  On the Determination Date immediately following the receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price of each




Program Vehicle from the Manufacturer (or the receipt of payment of the Repurchase Price of each such Program Vehicle sold through an auction conducted by or through a Manufacturer) or on the Determination Date immediately following the date by which the Repurchase Price of each such Program Vehicle turned back to a Manufacturer would have been paid if not for a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Servicer will calculate the amount of any Excess Damage Charges and/or Excess Mileage Charges applicable to such Program Vehicle pursuant to the applicable Manufacturer Program, and the Lessee will pay the full amount of such charges to the Lessor on the Payment Date immediately following such Determination Date (any such charges are referred to as “Program Vehicle Special Default Payments”).

(b)  On the first Determination Date following the last day of the Related Month in which the Disposition Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of any Non-Program Vehicle (other than a Casualty, a Vehicle that has been purchased by the Lessee pursuant to Section 2.4 or a Transferred HVF Vehicle) are deposited into a Collateral Account, the Servicer will calculate, in respect of such Non-Program Vehicle, an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the sum of all Program Vehicle Special Default Payments payable by the Lessee on the twelve Payment Dates preceding such Determination Date divided by (ii) the number of Program Vehicles that were turned back to Manufacturers or sold through auctions conducted by or through Manufacturers during the twelve Related Months respectively preceding such twelve Payment Dates, and the Lessee will pay such amount to the Lessor on the Payment Date immediately following such Determination Date (any such charges are referred to as “Non-Program Vehicle Special Default Payments” and, together with the Program Vehicle Special Default Payments, the “Special Default Payments”).

13.4.  Early Termination Payments.  If the Lessee turns back any Program Vehicle to a Manufacturer under its Manufacturer Program before the Minimum Term, on the Payment Date immediately following the receipt of the Repurchase Price of such Vehicle from such Manufacturer or on the Payment Date immediately following the date by which the Repurchase Price would have been paid if not for a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Lessee will pay the Lessor an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Termination Value of such Vehicle (as of the Turnback Date) over (y) the sum of the Repurchase Price received with respect to such Vehicle or that would have been received but for a Manufacturer Event of Default, as applicable, and any Special Default Payments made by the Lessee in respect of such Vehicle pursuant to Section 13.3 (any such amount is referred to as an “Early Termination Payment”).  On each Payment Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Early Termination Payments that have accrued during the Related Month.  The provisions of this Section 13.4 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

14.  DISPOSITION PROCEDURE.  The Servicer will comply with the requirements of law and the requirements of the Manufacturer Programs in connection with, among other things, the delivery of Certificates of Title and documents of transfer signed as necessary, signed Condition Reports, and signed odometer statements to be




submitted with the Program Vehicles returned to a Manufacturer pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and accepted by the Manufacturer or its agent at the time of Program Vehicle return.

15.  ODOMETER DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT.  The Servicer agrees to comply with all requirements of law and all Manufacturer Program requirements with respect to each Vehicle in connection with the transfer of ownership by the Lessor of such Vehicle, including, without limitation, the submission of any required odometer disclosure statement at the time of any such transfer of ownership.

16.  ASSIGNMENT.

16.1.  Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement.  The Lessor shall have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of Vehicles by selling or assigning its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due from the Lessee and any third party under this Agreement, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders; provided, however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of the Lessee in the Vehicles, including but not limited to the Lessee’s right of quiet and peaceful possession of such Vehicles as set forth in Section 9 hereof, and under this Agreement.

16.2.  Limitations on the Right of the Lessee to Assign this Agreement.  The Lessee shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to any other party; provided, however, that the Lessee may rent the Vehicles leased hereunder under the terms of its normal daily rental programs, and may sublease Vehicles pursuant to Section 7.  Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 16.2 shall be void and of no force or effect.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Lessee to acquire or dispose of, by purchase, lease, financing, or otherwise, motor vehicles that are not subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

17.  DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR.

17.1.  Events of Default.  Any one or more of the following will constitute an event of default (an “Operating Lease Event of Default”) as that term is used herein:

17.2.  Effect of Operating Lease Event of Default.  If any Operating Lease Event of Default described in Sections 17.1.1, 17.1.2, 17.1.6 or 17.1.9 shall occur, (x) the right of the Lessee to lease additional Vehicles from the Lessor shall immediately terminate and (y) any accrued and unpaid Rent and all other payments accrued but unpaid under this Agreement shall automatically, without further action by the Lessor or the Trustee, become immediately due and payable and (z) the Lessee shall, at the request of the Lessor or the Trustee acting at the direction of the Requisite Investors, return or cause to be returned all Vehicles leased by the Lessee subject to this Agreement to the Lessor or the Trustee as the case may be in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3.  If any other Operating Lease Event of Default shall occur, (x) the right of the Lessee to lease additional Vehicles from the Lessor shall automatically terminate and (y) the Trustee acting at the direction of the Requisite Investors may declare any accrued and unpaid Rent and all other payments accrued but unpaid under this Agreement to be due and payable whereupon such Rent and such other charges, amounts and payments shall become immediately due and payable.




17.3.  Rights of Lessor Upon Operating Lease Event of Default.  If an Operating Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default shall occur, then the Lessor at its option may:

(i)  in the case of an Operating Lease Event of Default, proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by the Lessee of the applicable covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 17.5; or
(ii)  in the case of a Liquidation Event of Default, by notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate this Agreement in its entirety and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessee of any or all Vehicles and the Lessor may direct delivery by the Servicer of Certificates of Title for the Vehicles to or upon the direction of the Lessor, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessee to such Vehicles will cease and terminate (but the Lessee will remain liable hereunder as herein provided, provided, however, its liability will be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5); and, in the case of a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Lessor may, by notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate the right of possession hereunder of such number of Vehicles as will generate disposition proceeds in an amount sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on (and all other amounts due the Holders of) the Series of Notes as to which the Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessee to such Vehicles will cease and terminate (but the Lessee will remain liable hereunder as provided, provided, however that its liability will be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5).  Upon termination of the right of possession of the Lessee with respect to any Vehicles, the Lessor or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the Lessee or other premises where such Vehicles may be located and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessee, or its successors or assigns, to use such Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever, and the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from the Lessee any and all amounts which under the terms of this Section 17.3 (as limited by Section 17.5 of this Agreement) as may be then due.  Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor will be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor; provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against the Lessee will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5.  All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.  No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein.  Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to the Lessee will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of the Lessee.  The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein.



17.4.  Liquidation Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants.

(i)  If a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Indenture, shall have the rights against the Lessee and the Collateral provided in the Indenture and the Collateral Agency Agreement upon a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, as the case may be, including the right to take possession of all or a portion of the Vehicles immediately from the Lessee.
(ii)  Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Servicer shall return any or all Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor.  To the extent any Manufacturer fails to accept any such Program Vehicles under the terms of the applicable Manufacturer Program, the Lessor shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such Program Vehicles and to direct the Servicer to dispose of such Program Vehicles in accordance with its instructions.  Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Servicer shall dispose of any or all Non-Program Vehicles in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor.  To the extent the Servicer fails to so dispose of any such Non-Program Vehicles, the Lessor shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such Non-Program Vehicles.  In addition, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Lessor shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-a-vis the Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow the Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims given to the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 9.2 of the Indenture, and the Lessee acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the Trustee pursuant to Article 3 of the Indenture and that the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of all such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.

17.5.  Measure of Damages.  If an Operating Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default occurs and the Lessor or the Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the Trustee under this Article 17 or Section 9.2 of the Indenture, the amount that the Lessor shall be permitted to recover from the Lessee as payment shall be equal to:

(i)  all accrued and unpaid Rent for each Vehicle to the earlier of the date of the return to the Lessor of such Vehicle or disposition by the Servicer of such Vehicle in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all other payments payable under this Agreement; plus
(ii)  any reasonable out-of-pocket damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses which the Lessor or the Trustee will have sustained by reason of the Operating Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default, together with reasonable sums for such attorneys’ fees and such expenses as will be expended or incurred in the seizure, storage, rental or sale of the



Vehicles or in the enforcement of any right or privilege hereunder or in any consultation or action in such connection; plus
(iii)  interest from time to time on amounts due and unpaid under this Agreement at one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% computed from the date of the Operating Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default or the date payments were originally due to the Lessor under this Agreement or from the date of each expenditure by the Lessor or the Trustee, as applicable, which is recoverable from the Lessee pursuant to this Section 17, as applicable, to and including the date payments are made by the Lessee.

17.6.  Vehicle Return Default.  If the Lessee fails to comply with the provisions of (a) Section 2.3 hereof with respect to any Vehicle or (b) Section 3.1 with respect to returning any Program Vehicles to the Servicer for return to the related Manufacturer not later than the end of the Maximum Term (each, a “Vehicle Return Default”), and the Vehicle is not redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle in accordance with Section 2.6, then the Lessor at its option may:

(i)  proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or equity, to enforce performance by the Lessee of such covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 17.5 as it relates to such Vehicle; or
(ii)  by notice in writing to the Lessee following the occurrence of such Vehicle Return Default, terminate this Agreement with respect to such Vehicle and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessee with respect to such Vehicle and the Lessor may direct delivery by the Servicer of the Certificate of Title to such Vehicle to or upon the order of the Lessor, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessee to such Vehicle will cease and terminate (but the Lessee will remain liable hereunder as herein provided, provided, however, that its liability will be calculated in accordance with Section 17.5 as it relates to such Vehicle); and thereupon the Lessor or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the Lessee or other premises where the Vehicle may be located and take possession of it and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessee or its successors or assigns to use such Vehicle for any purpose whatsoever and the Lessor will nevertheless have a right to recover from the Lessee any and all amounts which, under the terms of this Agreement may then be due; or
(iii)  hold, keep idle or lease to others such Vehicle, as the Lessor in its sole discretion may determine, free and clear of any rights of the Lessee without any duty to account to the Lessee with respect to such action or inaction or for any proceeds with respect to such action or inaction except that the Lessee’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent for periods commencing after the Lessee shall have been deprived of the use of such Vehicle pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be reduced by the net proceeds, if any, received by the Lessor from leasing such Vehicle to any person other than the Lessee for the same period or any portion thereof; or



(iv)  whether or not the Lessor shall have exercised or shall thereafter exercise any of the rights under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), demand by written notice to the Lessee that it pay to the Lessor immediately, and it shall so pay to the Lessor, the Casualty Payment with respect to such Vehicle in accordance with Section 6 hereof.
(v)  if the Lessor shall have sold any Vehicle repossessed by the Lessor pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Lessor in lieu of exercising its rights under clause (iv) above with respect to such Vehicle may, if it shall so elect, demand that the Lessee pay to the Lessor and the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor on the date of such sale as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, any unpaid Rent due through such date of sale plus the amount of any deficiency between the net proceeds of such sale and the Termination Value of such Vehicle computed as of the date of the sale.

17.7.  Servicer Default.  Any of the following events will constitute a default of the Servicer (“Servicer Default”) as that term is used herein:  (i) the failure in a material respect of the Servicer to comply with or perform any provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document, and such default continues for more than thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date written notice is delivered by the Lessor or the Trustee to the Servicer or the Servicer has actual knowledge thereof; (ii) an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Servicer; (iii) the failure of the Servicer to make any payment when due from it hereunder or under any of the other Related Documents or to deposit any Collections received by it into a Collateral Account when required under the Related Documents and, in each case, such failure continues for 5 Business Days; or (iv) if any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in any Related Document is inaccurate or incorrect or is breached or is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date of the making thereof or any schedule, certificate, financial statement, report, notice, or other writing furnished by or on behalf of the Servicer to the Lessor or the Trustee pursuant to any Related Document is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or writing was inaccurate, incorrect, breached, false or misleading in any material respect, as the case may be, shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (x) the date of the receipt of written notice thereof from the Lessor or the Trustee to the Servicer and (y) the date the Servicer learns of such circumstance or condition.  In the event of a Servicer Default, the Trustee, acting pursuant to Section 8.7(b) of the Indenture, shall have the right to replace the Servicer as servicer.

17.8.  Application of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any sale or other disposition pursuant to Section 17.2, 17.3 or 17.6 shall be applied by the Lessor in its sole discretion as the Lessor deems appropriate.

18.  MANUFACTURER EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Manufacturer Event of Default with respect to any Manufacturer (a “Defaulting Manufacturer”), the Lessor shall no longer purchase Program Vehicles from such Defaulting Manufacturer pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.




(b)  Upon the occurrence of a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Servicer agrees to (i) act at the direction of the Lessor or the Trustee to take commercially reasonable action to liquidate the Program Vehicles subject to a Manufacturer Program with respect to which such Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred or (ii) convert such Program Vehicles to Non-Program Vehicles in accordance with Section 2.6 and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

(c)  Upon the occurrence of a Manufacturer Event of Default, the Lessee shall not be liable for any failure by the Lessor to recover all or any portion of the Repurchase Price with respect to any Program Vehicles subject to the Manufacturer Program of the Defaulting Manufacturer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 18 shall be construed to modify, terminate or otherwise affect the Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement.

19.  CERTIFICATION OF TRADE OR BUSINESS USE.  The Lessee hereby warrants and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that it intends to use the Vehicles which are subject to this Agreement in its trade or business.

20.  TITLE TO VEHICLES.  This is an agreement to lease only and title to Vehicles will at all times remain in the Lessor, the Nominee, the Hertz Nominee or the HFC Nominee, as applicable, and beneficial ownership will at all times remain in the Lessor.  The Lessee will not have any rights or interest in Vehicles whatsoever other than the right of possession and use as provided by this Agreement.

21.  RIGHTS OF LESSOR ASSIGNED TO TRUSTEE.  The Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor has assigned or will assign all of its rights under this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.  Accordingly, the Lessee agrees that:

(i)  subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder and the Lessee’s obligations hereunder (including the payment of Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder) shall not be subject to any claim or defense which the Lessee may have against the Lessor (other than the defense of payment actually made) and shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, setoff, counterclaim, deduction or reduction for any reason whatsoever.  Specifically, the Lessee agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Operating Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee may exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against the Lessee provided for herein and the Lessee will not interpose as a defense that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;
(ii)  Upon the delivery by the Trustee of any notice to the Lessee stating that an Operating Lease Event of Default, Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred, the Lessee will, if so requested by the Trustee, treat the Trustee for all purposes as the Lessor hereunder and in all respects comply with all obligations under this Agreement that are asserted by the Trustee, as the Lessor hereunder, irrespective of whether the Lessee has received any such notice from the Lessor; and



(iii)  The Lessee acknowledges that pursuant to this Agreement it has agreed to make all payments of Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account.

22.  MODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY.  The terms of this Agreement will not be waived, altered, modified, amended, supplemented or terminated in any manner whatsoever unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Lessor, the Servicer and the Lessee and consented to in writing by the Trustee and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment.  If any part of this Agreement is not valid or enforceable according to law, all other parts will remain enforceable.

23.  SERVICER ACTING AS AGENT OF THE LESSOR.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz acts as Servicer of the Lessor pursuant to this Agreement, and, in such capacity, as the agent of the Lessor, for purposes of performing certain duties of the Lessor under this Agreement and the Related Documents.  As compensation for the Servicer’s performance of such duties, the Lessor shall pay to the Servicer on each Payment Date (i) a fee (the “Monthly Servicing Fee”) equal to .50% per annum, payable at one-twelfth the annual rate, on the outstanding Net Book Value of the Vehicles as of the last day of the preceding calendar month and (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses of the Servicer incurred by it as a result of arranging for the sale of Vehicles returned to the Lessor in accordance with Section 2.3(a) or as a result of a Vehicle Return Default and sold to third parties; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall only be payable to the Servicer to the extent of any excess of the sale price received by the Lessor for any such Vehicle over the Termination Value thereof.

24.  MINIMUM DEPRECIATION RATE.  The Lessor agrees that the Depreciation Schedules with respect to Non-Program Vehicles leased under this Agreement shall be established such that (i) the Depreciation Charges accruing with respect to each Non-Program Vehicle during each Related Month shall be at least equal to 1.25%, and (ii) the weighted average of the Depreciation Charges accruing with respect to all Non-Program Vehicles during each Related Month shall be at least equal to the lesser of (a) 1.50% and (b) such lower percentage in respect of which the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding shall have been satisfied.

25.  CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Lessee represents and warrants to the Lessor and the Trustee that as of the Restatement Effective Date, as of each Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date and as of each Closing Date with respect to each subsequent Series of Notes:

25.1.  Organization; Power; Qualification.  The Lessee has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power under the laws of such State to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each




jurisdiction where the character of its properties or the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

25.2.  Authorization; Enforceability.  Each of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Lessee and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto or thereto, is a valid and legally binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing).

25.3.  Compliance.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Lessee of this Agreement and the Related Documents will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Lessee pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, guarantee, lease financing agreement or other similar agreement or instrument under which the Lessee is a debtor or guarantor (except to the extent that such conflict, breach, creation or imposition is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect) nor will such action result in a violation of any provision of applicable law or regulation (except to the extent that such violation is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect) or of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Lessee.

25.4.  Other.  There is no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lessee which is required for, and the absence of which would materially affect, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the Related Documents.

25.5.  Financial Statements.  (a)  The Lessee has furnished each of the Lessor and the Trustee with, and the Lessor and the Trustee hereby acknowledge receipt of, a copy of the Lessee’s Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the “10-K Report”).  The financial statements set forth in such report present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(b)  The Lessee has furnished each of the Lessor and the Trustee with, and the Lessor and the Trustee hereby acknowledge receipt of, a copy of the Lessee’s Quarterly




Report to the SEC on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (the “10-Q Report”).  The financial statements set forth in such report present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2005 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(c)  As of the date of this Agreement there has not occurred any material adverse change in the financial position of the Lessee and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, since December 31, 2004, other than as set forth or contemplated in the 10-K Report or the 10-Q Report.

(d)  The financial data which shall be delivered to the Lessor and the Trustee pursuant to Section 26.5 will be prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and will present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of the Lessee as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations for the periods covered thereby.

25.6.  Investment Company Act.  The Lessee is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Lessee is not subject to any other statute which would impair or restrict its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, and neither the entering into or performance by the Lessee of this Agreement violates any provision of such Act.

25.7.  Supplemental Documents True and Correct.  All information contained in any material Supplemental Document which has been submitted, or which may hereafter be submitted by the Lessee to the Lessor is, or will be, true, correct and complete in all material respects.

25.8.  Manufacturer Programs.  No Manufacturer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Manufacturer of an Eligible Program Vehicle.

25.9.  ERISA.  The Lessee has satisfied the minimum funding standards under ERISA with respect to its Plans and is in compliance in all material respects with the currently applicable provisions of ERISA.

25.10.  Indemnification Agreement.  The Indemnification Agreement is in full force and effect, and is a valid and legally binding agreement of the Lessee enforceable against the Lessee in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing).




25.11.  Eligible Vehicles.  Each Vehicle is or will be, as the case may be, on the applicable Vehicle Operating Lease Commencement Date, an Eligible Vehicle.

26.  CERTAIN AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  Until the expiration or termination of this Agreement, and thereafter until the obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement and the Related Documents are satisfied in full, the Lessee covenants and agrees that, unless at any time the Lessor and the Trustee shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, it will:

26.1.  Corporate Existence; Foreign Qualification.  Do and cause to be done at all times all things necessary to (i) maintain and preserve its corporate existence; (ii) be, and ensure that it is, duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties or the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so qualify would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (iii) comply with all Contractual Obligations and Requirements of Law binding upon it, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

26.2.  Books, Records and Inspections.  (i) Maintain complete and accurate books and records with respect to the Vehicles leased by it under this Agreement and the other HVF Vehicle Collateral and (ii) at any time and from time to time during regular business hours, upon not less than reasonable prior notice from the Lessor or the Trustee, permit the Lessor or the Trustee (or such other person who may be designated from time to time by the Lessor or the Trustee) to examine and make copies of such books, records and documents in the possession or under the control of the Lessee relating to the Vehicles leased under this Agreement and the other HVF Vehicle Collateral; and (iii) permit the Lessor, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (or such other person who may be designated from time to time by the Lessor, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) to visit the office and properties of the Lessee for the purpose of examining such materials, and to discuss matters relating to the Vehicles leased under this Agreement with the Lessee’s independent public accountants or with any of the officers or employees of the Lessee having knowledge of such matters, all at such reasonable times and as often as the Lessor or the Trustee may reasonably request.  The Lessor agrees that it will not disclose any information obtained pursuant to this Section 26.2 which is not otherwise publicly available without the prior approval of the Lessee, except that the Lessor may disclose such information (x) to its officers, employees, attorneys and advisors, in each case on a confidential and need-to-know basis, and (y) as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process.

26.3.  ERISA.  Comply with the minimum funding standards under ERISA with respect to its Plans and use its best efforts to comply in all material respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and interpretations promulgated thereunder.




26.4.  Merger.  Not merge or consolidate with or into any other Person unless (i) the Lessee is the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation expressly assumes the Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement.

26.5.  Reporting Requirements.  Furnish, or cause to be furnished to the Lessor and the Trustee:

(i)  within 120 days after the end of each of its fiscal years, copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Lessee with the SEC or, if the Lessee is not a reporting company, information equivalent to that which would be required to be included in such an Annual Report if it were a reporting company, including without limitation, consolidated financial statements consisting of a balance sheet of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal year and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries for such fiscal year, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the preceding fiscal year (if applicable), certified by and containing an opinion, unqualified as to scope, of a firm of independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing selected by the Lessee and acceptable to the Lessor and the Trustee;
(ii)  within 60 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each of its fiscal years, copies of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Lessee with the SEC or, if the Lessee is not a reporting company, information equivalent to that which would be required to be included in such a Quarterly Report if it were a reporting company, including without limitation, (x) financial statements consisting of consolidated balance sheets of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries for each such quarter, setting forth in comparative form the corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the preceding fiscal year (if applicable), all in reasonable detail and certified (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments) by a senior financial officer of the Lessee as having been prepared in accordance with GAAP;
(iii)  simultaneously with the delivery of the Annual Report on Form 10-K (or equivalent information) referred to in (i) above and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (or equivalent information) referred to in (ii) above, an Officer’s Certificate of the Lessee stating whether, to the knowledge of such officer, there exists on the date of the certificate any condition or event which then constitutes, or which after notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, a Potential Operating Lease Event of Default or Operating Lease Event of Default, and, if any such condition or event exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and the action of the Lessee is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto.
(iv)  promptly after becoming aware thereof, (a) notice of the occurrence of any Potential Operating Lease Event of Default or Operating Lease Event of Default, together with a written statement of an Authorized Officer describing such event and the action



that the Lessee proposes to take with respect thereto, and (b) notice of any Amortization Event;
(v)  promptly after obtaining actual knowledge thereof, notice of any Manufacturer Event of Default or termination or replacement of a Manufacturer Program;
(vi)  promptly after any executive officer of the Lessee becomes aware of the occurrence of any Reportable Event (other than a reduction in active Plan participants) with respect to any Plan, a certificate signed by the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Lessee setting forth the details as to such Reportable Event and the action which the Lessee is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of the notice of such Reportable Event given to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
(vii)  from time to time while this Agreement is in effect, upon the reasonable request of the Lessor or the Trustee, officials of the Lessee will confer with officials of the Lessor or the Trustee, as applicable, and advise them as to matters bearing on the Vehicles or the operations or financial condition of the Lessee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any audited or reviewed financial statements or information required to be included in any such filing are not reasonably available on a timely basis as a result of the Lessee’s accountants not being “independent” (as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder), the Lessee may, in lieu of making such filing or transmitting or making available the information, documents and reports so required to be filed, elect to make a filing on an alternative form or transmit or make available unaudited or unreviewed financial statements or information substantially similar to such required audited or reviewed financial statements or information, provided that the Lessee shall in any event be required to make such filing and so transmit or make available such audited or reviewed financial statements or information no later than the first anniversary of the date on which the same was otherwise required pursuant to the preceding provisions of this section.

26.6.  Indemnification Agreement.  Comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement.

26.7.  Ford Program Agreements.  Comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under those certain Auction Agent Agreements dated as of various dates, by and among the Servicer, the Lessee, the Trustee and the various auction houses at which Program Vehicles manufactured by Ford are sold pursuant to which such auction houses agree to certain procedures regarding the transfer of title to such Program Vehicles.

27.  NO PETITION.  Each of the Lessee and the Servicer hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against the Lessor, the Nominee, the HFC Nominee or the Intermediary, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar




proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.  In the event that the Lessee or the Servicer takes action in violation of this Section 27, the Lessor, the Nominee, the HFC Nominee or the Intermediary, as the case may be, agrees, for the benefit of the Noteholders, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the Lessee or the Servicer, as the case may be, against it or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Lessee or the Servicer, as the case may be, has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom.  The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

28.  SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.  The Lessor and the Trustee may enforce any claim arising out of this Agreement in any state or federal court having subject matter jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any state or federal court located in the State of New York.  For the purpose of any action or proceeding instituted with respect to any such claim, the Lessee hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.  The Lessee further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of said courts by mailing a copy thereof, by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Lessee and agrees that such service, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Nothing herein contained shall affect the right of the Trustee and the Lessor to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or preclude the Lessor or the Trustee from bringing an action or proceeding in respect hereof in any other country, state or place having jurisdiction over such action. The Lessee hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court located in the State of New York and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

29.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  All obligations of the Lessee and the Servicer and all rights of the Lessor or the Trustee expressed herein shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law or in any other written instrument or agreement.

30.  JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH




THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

31.  NOTICES.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party, addressed to it, at its address or telephone number set forth on the signature pages below, or at such other address or telephone number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other party.  Copies of notices, requests and other communications delivered to the Trustee, the Lessee and/or the Lessor pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be sent to the following addresses:

(c)  Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) above, each Grantor shall nevertheless be permitted, subject to the Collateral Agent’s right to revoke such permission with respect to HVF in the event of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding and to revoke such permission with respect to HGI in the event of an Event of Default under the HGI Credit Facility, to give all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required to be given in the normal course of business in connection with the Vehicles or any Collateral Agreement (which does not include waivers of default under any of the Collateral Agreements or any of the Manufacturer Programs).

(d)  The HVF Secured Party hereby agrees that it shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with respect to the HVF Vehicles and the other HVF Vehicle Collateral.  The HVF Secured Party hereby acknowledges that it shall have no interest in (i) any HGI Vehicle, (ii) any funds in a Collateral Account that are proceeds of any HGI Vehicle, (iii) any rights under any Manufacturer Program with respect to any HGI Vehicle or (iv) any other

6




portion of the HGI Vehicle Collateral, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in the HVF Vehicles or the HGI Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give any purchase money security interest or other notice, or the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, or other applicable law.

(e)  The HGI Secured Party hereby agrees that it shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement only with respect to the HGI Vehicles and the other HGI Vehicle Collateral.  The HGI Secured Party hereby acknowledges that it shall have no interest in (i) any HVF Vehicle, (ii) any funds in a Collateral Account that are proceeds of any HVF Vehicle, (iii) any rights under any Manufacturer Program with respect to any HVF Vehicle or (iv) any other portion of the HVF Vehicle Collateral, in each case regardless of the time, order, manner or nature of attachment or perfection of security interests in the HVF Vehicles or the HGI Vehicles (including the giving of or failure to give any purchase money security interest or other notice, or the order of filing financing statements), or any provision of the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, or other applicable law.

SECTION 2.2.  Designation of HVF Vehicles and HGI Vehicles.  The Servicer shall identify on its computer system all Vehicles subject to the HVF Lease as HVF Vehicles and all Vehicles subject to the HGI Lease as HGI Vehicles.  The designation of the Vehicles as HVF Vehicles and HGI Vehicles on the Servicer’s computer system shall be considered prima facie evidence of the HVF Secured Party’s rights with respect to the HVF Vehicles and the other HVF Vehicle Collateral and the HGI Secured Party’s rights with respect to the HGI Vehicles and the other HGI Vehicle Collateral.  If at any time a Secured Party reasonably believes that such designation by the Servicer is incorrect, it may dispute (the “disputing Secured Party”) such designation by delivering a written notice to each of the Servicer and the Collateral Agent setting forth its claim as to the correct designation of a HVF Vehicle or HGI Vehicle, as the case may be (each a “redesignation”).  The Servicer shall, promptly upon receipt of such notice, distribute a copy thereof to each Grantor and the other Secured Party (the “non-disputing Secured Party”).  The non-disputing Secured Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice from the Servicer, notify each of the Servicer and the Collateral Agent in writing as to whether it consents to the disputing Secured Party’s redesignation.  If the Servicer and the Collateral Agent receive written notice from the non-disputing Secured Party consenting to the disputing Secured Party’s redesignation within the period set forth above, the Servicer shall promptly effect such redesignation.

SECTION 2.3.  Redesignation of Vehicles.  From time to time (i) HGI may sell New HVF Vehicles to HVF pursuant to Section 1.05 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) HGI may sell Transferred HGI Vehicles to HVF pursuant to Section 1.07 of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) HVF may sell Transferred HVF Vehicles to HGI pursuant to Section 1.07 of the Purchase Agreement.  On the effective date of any such sale, upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the effectiveness of such sale under the Purchase Agreement, the Servicer shall redesignate on its computer systems such New HVF Vehicles as HVF Vehicles, such Transferred HGI Vehicles as HVF Vehicles or such Transferred HVF Vehicles as HGI Vehicles, as the case may be.  The Servicer shall redesignate each such Vehicle on its computer systems at the then current Net Book Value of such Vehicle.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5(d), (i) the HVF Secured Party hereby acknowledges that it shall have no interest in any Vehicle or other related

7




Vehicle Collateral after such Vehicle has been redesignated as a HGI Vehicle in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3 and that any such redesignation shall automatically constitute a release by the HVF Secured Party of any interest therein and (ii) the HGI Secured Party hereby acknowledges that it shall have no interest in any Vehicle or other related Vehicle Collateral after such Vehicle has been redesignated as a HVF Vehicle in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3 and that any such redesignation shall automatically constitute a release by the HGI Secured Party of any interest therein.

SECTION 2.4.  Servicer’s Fleet Reports.  (a)  On or prior to each Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent a report (which may be on diskette or other electronic medium reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each such report, a “Fleet Report”), (i) identifying the HVF Vehicles (and as subsets thereof, each of the Initial Hertz Vehicles and the Service Vehicles), the HGI Vehicles, the GE Financed Vehicles and the other Vehicles owned by Hertz separately, as of the last day of the Related Month, (ii) listing each Vehicle by the VIN with respect to such Vehicle, (iii) identifying the date of the original purchase of each such Vehicle, (iv) identifying whether each such Vehicle is a Program Vehicle or a Non-Program Vehicle, (v) showing, as of the last day of the Related Month, the Capitalized Cost and the Net Book Value of each such Vehicle, (vi) identifying the state in which each such Vehicle is titled, (vii) providing a list of all locations in which the Certificates of Title for the HVF Vehicles and the HGI Vehicles are held by the Servicer or Servicer’s Agents as of such date, (viii) providing the name and address of all Servicer’s Agents as of such date and (ix) providing on a confidential basis (A) the actual mileage of each Vehicle as of its last check-in, (B) the date of the last check-in of each Vehicle, (C) if the Vehicle is a Program Vehicle, the total mileage per the related Manufacturer Program, (D) the Minimum Term specified in each Manufacturer Program and (E) the Maximum Term specified in each Manufacturer Program.

(b)  The Collateral Agent shall make the most recent Fleet Report available for inspection by any Secured Party at the Corporate Trust Office, during normal business hours, upon such Secured Party’s prior written request.

(c)  On each Business Day commencing on the Initial Closing Date, the Servicer shall prepare and maintain a report identifying the HVF Vehicles, the HGI Vehicles, the GE Financed Vehicles and the other Vehicles owned by Hertz separately by the VIN with respect to each such Vehicle as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day, and shall deliver such report to HGI and HVF upon their request.

(d)  For so long as a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to HVF on a weekly basis a report (which may be on diskette or other electronic medium) that contains the data set forth in a Fleet Report, but determined on a weekly basis, and HVF shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each HVF Secured Party such weekly Fleet Report.

SECTION 2.5.  Collateral Accounts.  (a)  The Collateral Agent shall establish and maintain for the benefit of the Secured Parties one or more accounts (each a “Collateral Account”), each in the name of the Collateral Agent or, prior to the date of termination of the Master Exchange Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(b) thereof, the joint name of the Collateral

8




Agent and the Intermediary, that shall be administered and operated as provided in this Agreement and the Master Exchange Agreement, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the respective benefit of each Secured Party as their interests may appear.  Each Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with a Qualified Trust Institution.  If any Collateral Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, then within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge of such fact, the Collateral Agent and the Intermediary shall establish a new Collateral Account which complies with such sentence and transfer into the new Collateral Account all funds from the non-qualifying Collateral Account.  Initially, each Collateral Account will be established with the Collateral Agent.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision that may be contained in any Related Document, the provisions contained in this Agreement relating to the Collateral Accounts and to the flow of funds into and out of the Collateral Accounts are consented to by the parties hereto (in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof) and shall control.

(b)  The Servicer and each Grantor shall cause:

(i) all amounts due from Manufacturers and their related auctions dealers under their Manufacturer Programs with respect to the Vehicles, other than Excluded Payments and Permitted Check Payments, to be deposited directly into a Collateral Account by the Manufacturers and the related auction dealers; provided, however, that, unless there has been a failure by HGI to make a payment to HVF on account of an Invoice Adjustment when due in accordance with Section 1.05(d) of the Purchase Agreement and such failure is continuing, payments by Manufacturers on account of Invoice Adjustments shall not be required to be deposited in a Collateral Account;

(iii) all insurance proceeds and warranty payments in respect of the Vehicles, other than Excluded Payments, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of receipt by the Servicer; provided, however, that unless an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding has occurred and is continuing, insurance proceeds and warranty payments with respect to the Vehicles shall not be required to be deposited in a Collateral Account;

(iv) all amounts payable by the Nominee pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Nominee Agreement to be deposited directly into a Collateral Account by the Nominee;

(vii) all other Proceeds of the Vehicle Collateral, to be deposited into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of receipt by the Servicer.

In addition, any Grantor receiving any Proceeds of the Vehicle Collateral directly shall deposit such Proceeds into a Collateral Account within two Business Days of receipt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer receives any amount pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (vii) of this Section 2.5(b) and determines that such amount is Proceeds of the HVF Collateral, Proceeds of the HGI Collateral, Proceeds with respect to the GE Financed Vehicles or Proceeds with respect to the other Vehicles owned by Hertz before it is obligated to deposit such amount into a Collateral Account in accordance with this Section 2.5(b), the Servicer shall deposit such amount directly into the Collection Account or an HVF Exchange Account for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Master Exchange Agreement if it is Proceeds of the HVF Vehicle Collateral,  deposit such amount directly into the HGI Account or an HGI Exchange Account for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Master Exchange Agreement if it is Proceeds of the HGI Collateral, deposit such amount directly into the GE Collateral Account or a Hertz GE Exchange Account for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Master Exchange Agreement if it is Proceeds with respect to the GE Financed Vehicles or deposit such amount directly into an account designated by Hertz or a Hertz Exchange Account other than a Hertz GE Exchange Account for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Master Exchange Agreement if it is Proceeds with respect to the other Vehicles owned by Hertz.

11




Servicer shall notify the Rating Agencies in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the replacement of an existing Servicer’s Agent or the designation of any new Servicer’s Agent.

20




Default or Liquidation Event of Default has occurred or such writ has been issued and, in each case, continues to be in effect, which notice specifies the nature thereof.

(l)  The Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Servicer, either of the Grantors, any Manufacturer and their respective Affiliates as if it were not the agent of the Secured Parties.

(m)  The Collateral Agent may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any negligent act on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.  The appointment of agents, custodians and nominees (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (m) shall be subject to the prior written consent of each of the Grantors and the Secured Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be conditioned on the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding with respect to such appointment.  The possession of the Vehicle Collateral by such agents, custodians or nominees shall be deemed to be the possession by the Collateral Agent.  No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any duties hereunder or in the exercise of any rights and powers hereunder unless the Collateral Agent is provided with an indemnity from one or more of the Secured Parties or other Persons, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion.

thirty (30) days from the date of such notice of removal, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed as above provided.  Any successor Collateral Agent so appointed by such court shall immediately upon its acceptance of such appointment without further act supersede any predecessor Collateral Agent.  Upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent hereunder and its acceptance of such appointment, the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement.

(b)  The appointment, designation and acceptance referred to in Section 5.5(a) shall, after any required filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessors and upon such filing for record the successor Collateral Agent shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of its predecessors; but any predecessor Collateral Agent shall nevertheless, on the written request of any Secured Party, the Servicer, any Grantor or any successor Collateral Agent empowered to act as such at the time any such request is made, execute and deliver an instrument without recourse or representation transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it to such successor Collateral Agent.  Upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent hereunder, the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the predecessor Collateral Agent will serve as nominee lienholder for the successor Collateral Agent with respect to those Vehicles on whose Certificate of Title the predecessor Collateral Agent had been named as lienholder prior to its resignation or removal pursuant to this Section 5.5.

SECTION 5.6.  Qualification of Successors to Collateral Agent.  Every successor to the Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 5.5 (i) shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having power so to act and incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (ii) shall have capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $50,000,000, and (iii) shall have a long-term deposits rating of not less than “BBB-” by Standard & Poor’s and “Baa3” by Moody’s and, unless otherwise agreed to by Fitch, “BBB-”by Fitch, if there be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits and ratings willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms.  The appointment of any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.5 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding.

SECTION 5.7.  Merger of the Collateral Agent.  Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be converted or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party shall be the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.  The Collateral Agent shall give the Rating Agencies, the Servicer, each of the Grantors and the Secured Parties prior written notice of any such merger, conversion or consolidation.

22




SECTION 5.8.  Compensation and Expenses.  The Servicer shall pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time (i) compensation for its services hereunder for administering the Vehicle Collateral as the Collateral Agent and the Servicer shall from time to time agree in writing, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (A) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, or modification of this Agreement and/or the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or (B) incurred in connection with the administration of the Vehicle Collateral, the sale or other disposition of the Vehicle Collateral pursuant to any Related Document and/or the preservation, protection or defense of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement and in and to the Vehicle Collateral.

SECTION 5.9.  Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees.  The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or other similar tax and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement or any Vehicle Collateral.  The Servicer shall pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.10.  Indemnification.  Each Grantor shall pay, and indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of the officers, employees, directors and agents thereof harmless from and against, any and all liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Related Vehicle Collateral and the execution, delivery, amendment, enforcement, performance and/or administration of this Agreement (and any agreements related thereto including, without limitation, the Assignment Agreements), including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts, and each Grantor shall reimburse its related Secured Party for any payments made by such Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents for any of the foregoing provided that such payments were permitted to be made by such Secured Party under the Related Documents; provided, however, that no Grantor shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any such agent.

Each of the Secured Parties agrees to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of its officers, employees, directors and agents harmless to the same extent as its related Grantor in accordance with the foregoing paragraph but only to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not been paid by such Grantor pursuant to such paragraph; provided that the HVF Secured Party’s obligation to indemnify the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be limited to funds constituting Monthly Servicing Fees and Monthly Administration Fees under the Base Indenture and the related Series Supplements.

23




SECTION 5.11.  Waiver of Set-Off by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent hereby expresssly waives any and all rights of setoff, abatement, diminution or deduction that it may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to the Vehicle Collateral, provided, however, that this waiver shall apply only to obligations owed to the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity and not as an agent for the Secured Parties, and agrees that all Vehicle Collateral shall at all times be held and applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(c)  agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor or the Servicer, as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 6.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d)  agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e)  waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

26




any insurance policies required to be maintained under any of the Related Documents, notify the related Secured Party of any such termination, proposed cancellation or nonrenewal.

SECTION 6.15.  Waiver of Set-Off With Respect to the Grantors.  Each of the Secured Parties hereby waives and relinquishes any right that it has or may have to set-off or to exercise any banker’s lien or any right of attachment or garnishment with respect to any funds at any time and from time to time on deposit in, or otherwise to the credit of, any account and any claims of the Grantors therein or with respect to any right to payment from the Grantors, it being understood, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.15 shall, or is intended to, derogate from the assignment and security interest granted to any Secured Party under the Related Documents or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or impair any rights of the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 6.16.  Confidentiality.  Each party hereto (other than Hertz and the Grantors) agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of Hertz or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, other than (a) to any Secured Party, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or any judicial process of which Hertz or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, has knowledge; provided that any party hereto may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, rule or regulation or any judicial process of which Hertz or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, does not have knowledge if such party is prohibited by law from disclosing such requirement to Hertz or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, and (c) in the course of litigation with Hertz, any of the Grantors, as the case may be, or any Secured Party.

“Confidential Information” means information that Hertz or any of the Grantors, as applicable, furnishes to a Secured Party on a confidential basis, but does not include any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Secured Party or other Person to which such Secured Party delivered such information or that is or becomes available to such Secured Party from a source other than Hertz or any of the Grantors, as the case may be, provided that such source is not (1) known to such Secured Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with Hertz or any of the Grantors, as the case may be, or (2) known to such Secured Party to be otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.

SECTION 6.17.  No Recourse.  The obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement are solely the obligations of such Grantor.  No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any member, employee, officer or director of either Grantor.  Fees, expenses or costs payable by either Grantor hereunder shall be payable by such Grantor to the extent and only to the extent that such Grantor is reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Related Documents.  In the event that a Grantor is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses or costs, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses or costs shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, such Grantor. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be construed to limit the Collateral Agent from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.

27

SECTION 6.10.  QI Parent Downgrade Event Sale.

(a)  If a QI Parent Downgrade Event occurs, Hertz may deliver a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) to Owner at any time after the occurrence of such QI Parent Downgrade Event. If Hertz delivers a Sale Notice and does not deliver another written notice to the Owner withdrawing such sale Notice before the Downgrade Sale is consummated, then the Owner shall transfer all of the capital stock of the QI to such purchaser as may be designated by Hertz in such Sale Notice (the “Downgrade Sale”) on the date specified for such transfer in the Sale Notice, which date shall not be less than five days (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon by Hertz and Owner) after the delivery of such Sale Notice.  Any such purchaser shall not be Hertz or a Disqualified Person.

(i) transfer all of the capital stock of the QI to the purchaser designated in the related Sale Notice for such consideration (which may be nominal) as may be designated by Hertz in such Sale Notice;

(d)  Upon the consummation of a Downgrade Sale, (i) the rights, duties and obligations of the transferring Owner shall be assigned and delegated to the new Owner and the transferring Owner shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such obligations relate to periods prior to the Downgrade Sale, and (ii) the new Owner shall become a party to this Agreement pursuant to an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (an “Accession Agreement”).

SECTION 6.11.  Trademark License.  (a)  Subject to the terms of this Section 6.11, Hertz grants the QI a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the service mark “Hertz”, as evidenced by Certificate of Registration No. 0614123 (the “Licensed Trademark”) with respect only to the QI’s service as Qualified Intermediary pursuant to this Agreement (the “Licensed Services”), and in connection therewith, in the QI’s trade name and company name.

(b)  The QI agrees to provide, at Hertz’s request, specimens showing use of the Licensed Trademark with respect to the Licensed Services for Hertz’s inspection and approval and as needed by Hertz to file in the United States Patent and Trademark office evidencing use of the Licensed Trademark in commerce by the QI.

(c)  The QI acknowledges that Hertz owns the Licensed Trademark, and that it has no rights with respect thereto other than the licenses set forth in this Section 6.11.  Any rights in the Licensed Trademark arising from the use of the Licensed Trademark by the QI shall inure and accrue exclusively to Hertz.

(d)  The QI shall only use the Licensed Trademark in a manner previously approved by Hertz.

(e)  The QI agrees to provide the Licensed Services in accordance with standards of quality approved by Hertz.  Hertz’s designee shall have the right, at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, to enter the QI’s premises to inspect any documents or records relating to the Licensed Services, for the purpose of enabling Hertz to assess whether the Licensed Services comply with the standards of quality submitted or approved by Hertz.  If the Licensed Services supplied by the QI do not conform with the standards of quality approved by Hertz in any respect, Hertz shall so inform the QI in writing of such failure to conform, and the QI shall immediately cease use of the Licensed Trademark.

(f)  The QI agrees to inform Hertz of the use of any marks similar to the Licensed Trademark and any potential infringements of the Licensed Trademark which come to its attention.

(g)  In the event the QI is named as defendant in any action based on its use of the Licensed Trademark, the QI agrees to immediately notify Hertz, and Hertz shall have the right to intervene in any such action and to control and direct the defense thereof, including the right to

26




select defense counsel, provided that in the event Hertz chooses to exercise control Hertz agrees to reimburse the QI for the cost of the QI’s defense and to indemnify the QI against all damages arising therefrom, provided that the QI has complied with all its obligations under this Section 6.11 and has cooperated with Hertz in the defense of such action.

(h)  Upon termination of this Agreement, the QI agrees to discontinue all use of the Licensed Trademark in any manner whatsoever, including use and registration of the Licensed Trademark in the QI’s trade name and company name.  Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights granted to the QI under this Section 6.11 shall revert to Hertz.

SECTION 6.12.  Confidentiality.  (a)  The QI shall keep confidential, and cause its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees and advisors to keep confidential, all information relating to each Legal Entity (the “Confidential Information”), except as required by law or administrative process or as provided for in this Agreement and except for information that is available to the public as of the date of this Agreement or thereafter becomes available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.12.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.12(a), (i) the QI may disclose any of the Confidential Information provided by a Legal Entity to any bank or other governmental regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the QI upon the request of the regulatory authority without having to provide such Legal Entity with notice of any kind and (ii) in the event that the QI is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, it is agreed that the QI will, if reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by law, provide Hertz with prompt notice of such request or requirement so that Hertz may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance by the QI with the provisions of this Agreement, and if, in the absence of such protective order or the receipt of such waiver hereunder, the QI is nonetheless, in the opinion of the QI’s counsel, legally required to disclose such Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the QI may disclose such information without liability hereunder, provided, however, that the QI shall disclose only that portion of such Confidential Information which it is legally required to disclose.

31




OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.  VENUE SHALL BE IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)  JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  EACH LEGAL ENTITY AND THE QI HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM THERETO.

SECTION 8.06.  Indebtedness.  The QI shall not assume any secured loan or other obligation on any Replacement Property or execute any promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of any Replacement Property, including any of the foregoing that would impose any personal liability upon the QI for repayment of such obligation.  The QI shall not execute any agreement nor participate in any transaction which, in the reasonable opinion of the QI or its counsel, would require the QI to engage in any unlawful or fraudulent action.

SECTION 8.07.  Strict Performance.  The failure of any party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any of its rights hereunder, provided that any provision may be waived by the party intended to benefit therefrom by a written instrument signed by such party.

SECTION 8.08.  Severability; Interpretation.  If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, this Agreement will, in such circumstances, be deemed modified in such jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render enforceable the provisions hereof, and such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.  It is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement comply with the requirements for like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations thereunder and for a like-kind exchange program pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2003-39.  To the greatest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

SECTION 8.09.  Dates, Descriptions, Values, and Matching.  Each Legal Entity shall be ultimately and solely responsible for the accuracy of any transfer dates, the Relinquished Property and the Replacement Property descriptions, the Relinquished Property and the Replacement Property values and the Relinquished Property and the Replacement Property matching with respect to each Exchange performed pursuant to its LKE Program.

SECTION 8.10.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts when taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement by any party hereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof have been executed and delivered by each other party hereto.  It will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any other counterparts.

32




SECTION 8.11.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, as supplemented by the Escrow Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes and merges any prior understandings and agreements (whether written or oral) respecting such subject matter.

SECTION 8.12.  Electronic Signature.  In the satisfaction of their respective obligations and the exercise of their respective rights under this Agreement and any related documents and/or agreements, to include bills of sale, each party hereto is, and hereby agrees to be, bound (as though duly authorized, notarized, and sealed original signatures were affixed to a document) by any evidence of consent, approval, authorization and/or agreement such party transmits or causes to be transmitted by electronic means, including but not limited to: downloading and/or transmitting of information via e-mail; facsimile; and the internet or similar electronic transmission.

SECTION 8.13.  Acknowledgment of Independent Relationship.  Each Legal Entity and the QI mutually acknowledge and agree that, pursuant to this Agreement, the QI will solely acquire Rights in contracts to both the Relinquished Property and the Replacement Property in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and that legal title to the Relinquished Property will be transferred to one or more Buyers and legal title to the Replacement Property will be transferred to the applicable Legal Entity.  The QI and each Legal Entity desire to maintain an independent relationship, therefore, the QI and each Legal Entity hereby acknowledge that in engaging in the activities contemplated by this Agreement, the QI is acting as a Qualified Intermediary.  In no event shall the QI or any of the QI’s directors, officers, employees, agents or shareholders be deemed to be acting as an agent of any Legal Entity (except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Treasury Regulations), nor shall the QI have any fiduciary relationship to any Legal Entity.

SECTION 8.14.  Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not affect its interpretation.

SECTION 8.15.  Force Majeure.  No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement if such inability to perform is caused by, circumstances reasonably beyond a party’s control, such as natural disasters, fire, floods, third party strikes, failure of public utilities or telecommunications infrastructure or any other causes reasonably beyond its control.

SECTION 8.16.  Consequential Damages.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the QI or any director, officer, employee, member, shareholder or agent of the QI be liable for, and each Legal Entity releases the QI and each director, officer, employee, member, shareholder or agent of the QI from, any and all liability for special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including lost profits) even if the QI or any director, officer, employee, member, shareholder or agent of the QI is advised of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.  The aforesaid is not intended to and shall in no way diminish or bar Hertz’s obligation to indemnify the QI Indemnitees for third party claims for such damages.

33




SECTION 8.17.  Investment Losses.  In no event shall the QI be liable for, and each Legal Entity hereby releases the QI from, any and all liability from any damages resulting from, any loss of principal, interest or other earnings which may be incurred as a result of the investment of any funds or in redeeming any investment held by the QI in any Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 8.18.  Treasury Regulations Disclosure Requirements.  Each Legal Entity represents that it does not intend to treat any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as a reportable transaction within the meaning of Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, and without limiting the foregoing, will fully comply with the filing and reporting requirements applicable to like-kind exchanges, including any requirement in any applicable regulations or forms.  In the event that any Legal Entity determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, such Legal Entity will promptly notify the QI, and each Legal Entity acknowledges that in this event any other party to this Agreement may treat the transaction as subject to Section 301.6112-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and maintain the investor list and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

SECTION 8.19.  No Petitions.  (a)  Each Legal Entity hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Notes and all obligations of Hertz under the GE Credit Agreement, the GE Collateral Agreement and the other GE Loan Documents, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the QI, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.  In the event that any Legal Entity takes action in violation of this Section 8.19(a), the QI agrees, for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties and the secured parties under the GE Collateral Agreement, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by any Legal Entity against the QI or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Legal Entity has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.

(b)  The QI hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, HVF, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.  In the event that the QI takes action in violation of this Section 8.19(b), HVF agrees, for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the QI against HVF or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the QI has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.

(c)  The provisions of this Section 8.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.20.  Servicer.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz acts as Servicer of HVF and HGI pursuant to this Agreement, and, in such capacity, as

34




the agent of HVF and HGI, for purposes of performing certain duties of HVF and HGI under this Agreement.  The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz, as Servicer, may take any action to be taken by HVF or HGI under this Agreement, subject to the assignment of HVF’s or HGI’s interest hereunder to the Collateral Agent.

WHEREAS, the QI, the Escrow Agent, Hertz, HVF and HGI desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, HVF and HGI are single member limited liability companies, solely owned by Hertz, and therefore disregarded entities for purposes of the Code and the Treasury Regulations;

WHEREAS, each action taken by a Legal Entity in its individual capacity pursuant to this Agreement shall, for purposes of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, have been taken by Exchangor;

WHEREAS, Exchangor desires to exchange certain Vehicles that are held for productive use in its trade or business and that constitute Relinquished Property for other vehicles to be held for productive use in its trade or business that are like-kind to the Relinquished Property;

WHEREAS, the Relinquished Property will be sold by Exchangor to various buyers from time to time, including Manufacturers and purchasers at auctions;

WHEREAS, the Replacement Property will be purchased by Exchangor from time to time from various Manufacturers and vehicle dealers;

WHEREAS, Exchangor and the QI desire and intend that the Exchanges accomplished by Exchangor and the QI under the Master Exchange Agreement (the “LKE Program”) satisfy the requirements of a “like kind exchange program” pursuant to Section 3.02 of Revenue Procedure 2003-39;

WHEREAS, Exchangor desires to effectuate each Exchange in a manner that will qualify as a like-kind exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder (and any applicable corresponding provisions of state tax legislation) pursuant to one or more of the “safe harbors” described in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g) of the Treasury Regulations, and Revenue Procedure 2003-39;




WHEREAS, subject to the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Master Exchange Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Master Exchange Agreement”), among the QI, Hertz, HVF and HGI, each Legal Entity has engaged the QI to act as a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code and Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Treasury Regulations (such entity, a “Qualified Intermediary”) in order to facilitate Exchanges of Relinquished Property for Replacement Property and has directed the QI to establish, or become a joint holder of, one or more accounts to hold proceeds from the disposition of Relinquished Property and any Additional Subsidies and to disburse such proceeds and any Additional Subsidies consistent with Section 1031 of the Code;

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent may from time to time hold and disburse, pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement, certain funds belonging to Exchangor that are not derived from the disposition of Relinquished Property for purposes other than the acquisition of Replacement Property;

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and provisions of the Master Exchange Agreement, it is intended that for purposes of the Treasury Regulations, Exchangor is not determined to be in actual or constructive receipt of proceeds (including any earnings thereon) from the disposition of any Relinquished Property;

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the immediately foregoing paragraph, it is the intent of the parties that the funds held in the Escrow Accounts maintained by the Escrow Agent shall not be part of the QI’s general assets, nor subject to claims by the QI’s creditors; and

SECTION 2.01.  In General

(a)  Appointment of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed by each of the Legal Entities and the QI, and agrees to act, as escrow holder of the Escrow Funds held in the Escrow Accounts pursuant to this Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

3




(b)  Fund Transfers.  Provided they are consistent with this Escrow Agreement and the limitations on each Legal Entity’s rights to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of any Relinquished Property Proceeds, the particular mechanisms for accomplishing the movement of Escrow Funds described in this Escrow Agreement may be set forth and memorialized in one or more written “Funds Transfer Protocols” attached hereto from time to time as Exhibit A, which shall either (1) be executed by or on behalf of both a Legal Entity and the QI or (2) follow the protocol set forth in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof.  A Funds Transfer Protocol may also consist of a compendium of previously executed documents or charts (e.g., flow charts, corporate resolutions and signature cards) which when taken together obviate the need for a single written protocol.

(c)  Escrow Accounts.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the funds held in any of the Escrow Accounts, or any other account or sub-account established pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement, shall only be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by the Master Exchange Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall have no equitable interest in any amounts deposited in any of the Escrow Accounts referred to herein.

SECTION 2.02.  Provisions Governing the Escrow Accounts.  (a)  All Escrow Funds deposited into an Escrow Account pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be delivered or disbursed either by (i) federal funds wire transfer, (ii) Electronic Funds Transfer, or (iii) cashier’s check, or other check, with notification in a form consistent with, or as described in, Exhibit A hereto.

(b)  The Escrow Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for any funds delivered pursuant to this Escrow Agreement until actually received in the appropriate account, in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)  The Escrow Accounts shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with a Qualified Trust Institution.  If any Escrow Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, then the Legal Entities shall within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge of such fact, in conjunction with the QI, establish a new Escrow Account which complies with such sentence and transfer into the new Escrow Account all funds from the non-complying Escrow Account.  The Escrow Accounts shall be maintained as “securities accounts” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the New York UCC) and the investments made with Escrow Funds shall be held in the Escrow Accounts.

ARTICLE III

Fund Transfers

SECTION 3.01.  Transfer of Collected Funds from the Exchange Accounts.  (a)  On any Business Day, pursuant to standing instructions and procedures established by each Legal Entity and the QI and in accordance with the Master Exchange Agreement, each Legal Entity may initiate proposed Electronic Funds Transfers that are subject to the QI’s approval and shall notify the QI of such initiated transfers.  The instructions with respect to the proposed Electronic Funds Transfers shall set forth the amounts to be withdrawn from an Exchange

4




Account and transferred to another Exchange Account or a Disbursement Account on such day, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and shall be either (1) executed by or on behalf of both the applicable Legal Entity and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of the applicable Legal Entity with the certification contained in Exhibit A stating that such Legal Entity has provided such instruction simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and the QI.  Such instructions to the Escrow Agent shall also include instructions regarding adjustments (e.g., calculation errors, overpayments, etc.), if any, to amounts previously funded from such Exchange Account.  If the QI does not approve any of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfer transactions, the QI shall immediately notify the applicable Legal Entity and the Escrow Agent, and in the case of a transfer of funds from an HVF Exchange Account, the Trustee and in the case of a transfer of funds from a Hertz GE Exchange Account, the GE Collateral Agent, via telephone or fax (any such notice given by telephone to be confirmed in writing) of the disapproval and the reasons for such disapproval.  If the Escrow Agent receives instructions in the form of Exhibit A (i) executed by or on behalf of both the applicable Legal Entity and the QI or (ii) executed by or on behalf of the applicable Legal Entity with the appropriate certification and the QI has not disapproved of the instructions (orally or in writing) within one hour of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly execute instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.01(a)).  The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the information contained in the electronic instructions received by it pursuant to this Section 3.01(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to transfer or distribute any funds from an Exchange Account unless such funds have been collected and credited to such Exchange Account.

(b)  After the occurrence of a Disbursement Occurrence, each Legal Entity shall direct the Escrow Agent to wire any funds held in its Escrow Account that are no longer Relinquished Property Proceeds to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity; provided that (i) in the case of HVF, such amount shall be paid to the Collection Account and (ii) in the case of Hertz, any such amount in respect of GE Financed Vehicles shall be paid to the GE Collateral Account.

SECTION 3.02.  Transfer of Disbursed Funds from the Disbursement Accounts.

From time to time during the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees that it shall receive, hold, invest and disburse, pursuant to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Escrow Funds delivered into a Disbursement Account by or on behalf of HGI that are Relinquished Property Proceeds and/or Additional Subsidies, at HGI’s discretion, as may be needed to complete the purchase of any particular Replacement Property and to be delivered to a Manufacturer or dealer for the purchase of Replacement Property, or to make any Non-LKE Disbursement by or on behalf of HGI.  From time to time on any Business Day, pursuant to standing instructions and procedures established by HGI and the QI in accordance with the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, HGI may initiate proposed Electronic Funds Transfers that are subject to the QI’s approval and shall notify the QI of such initiated transfers, in order to transfer funds from a Disbursement Account to acquire Replacement Property, to pay expenses of the type described in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(7) of the Treasury Regulations not otherwise paid from funds deposited into the Joint Collection Account and to make Non-LKE Disbursements.  The instructions with respect to such proposed Electronic Funds Transfers shall set forth the

5




amounts to be withdrawn from the applicable Disbursement Account on such day, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and shall be either (1) executed by or on behalf of both HGI and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of HGI with the certification contained in Exhibit A stating that HGI has provided such instruction simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and the QI.  If the QI does not approve any of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfer transactions, the QI shall immediately notify HGI and the Escrow Agent via telephone or fax (any such notice by telephone to be confirmed in writing) of the disapproval and the reasons for such disapproval.  If the Escrow Agent receives instructions in the form of Exhibit A (i) executed by or on behalf of HGI and the QI or (ii) executed by or on behalf of HGI with the appropriate certification and the QI has not disapproved of the instructions (orally or in writing) within one hour of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly execute instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.02).  The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the information contained in the electronic instructions received by it pursuant to this Section 3.02.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to transfer or distribute any funds from a Disbursement Account unless such funds have been collected and credited to such Disbursement Account.

SECTION 3.03.  Shortfalls in Funding.  If, for any reason, the sum of the amounts requested by an Legal Entity to be transferred from an Exchange Account to another Exchange Account or a Disbursement Account in accordance with the Master Exchange Agreement on any Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof exceeds the total amount of collected funds in such Exchange Account with respect to such Legal Entity, including any Qualified Earnings from the investment of funds with respect to such Legal Entity held in the Exchange Account pursuant to this Escrow Agreement on such day and actually credited to the Exchange Account, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Legal Entity of the amount of such shortfall, and the amounts to be transferred to such other Exchange Account or Disbursement Account on such day shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall.

SECTION 3.04.  Additional Subsidies.  In the event that the Escrow Funds with respect to HGI are insufficient to pay the Replacement Property Acquisition Cost incurred by HGI, HGI may transfer Additional Subsidies directly to an HGI Exchange Account or a Disbursement Account in an amount sufficient for the QI to acquire the applicable Replacement Property.  Any Legal Entity may transfer Additional Subsidies to one of its Exchange Accounts to fund Non-LKE Disbursements; and HGI may transfer Additional Subsidies to any Disbursement Account to fund Non-LKE Disbursements.

SECTION 3.05.  The Escrow Accounts.  Transfers of funds in and out of the Exchange Accounts and the Disbursement Accounts shall be governed by the terms of this Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by terms of the Master Exchange Agreement.

SECTION 3.06.  Limitation on Rights to Exchange Proceeds.

(a)  All Escrow Funds shall be held subject to the terms of this Escrow Agreement.  In particular, all Relinquished Property Proceeds, and any Qualified Earnings thereon, shall be held subject to Sections 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-l(g)(6) of the Treasury Regulations, including the restrictions on Exchangor’s right to receive, pledge, borrow

6




or otherwise obtain the benefits of Relinquished Property Proceeds or the earnings thereon.  Subject to the limitation that each Legal Entity shall have no right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the Relinquished Property Proceeds or the earnings thereon held by either the QI or the Escrow Agent, Relinquished Property Proceeds may be withdrawn from an Exchange Account or Disbursement Account upon a Disbursement Occurrence with respect to the related Relinquished Property or such Relinquished Property Proceeds.  This Section 3.06(a) shall apply notwithstanding any inconsistent instruction given by any Legal Entity and notwithstanding any decision by any Legal Entity not to pursue a deferred exchange or to abandon the transactions contemplated by this Escrow Agreement.

(b)  The QI shall have only such interest in any of the Escrow Funds as is expressly provided in the Master Exchange Agreement and shall have the right to use, withdraw, transfer or otherwise act with respect to any of the Escrow Funds only as expressly provided in, and for the purposes set forth in, this Escrow Agreement or the Master Exchange Agreement.

SECTION 3.07.  Returns.  If at any time, for any reason, funds transferred from an Escrow Account are returned to such Escrow Account, such funds shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of electronic written instructions from the applicable Legal Entity and the QI.

ARTICLE IV

Investment Of Funds

SECTION 4.01.  Investment of the Exchange Funds.

(a)  From time to time during the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest all (or such lesser portion as may be agreed to between the parties hereto) the funds held in (i) a HVF Exchange Account in any Permitted Investments, (ii) a Hertz GE Exchange Account in Cash Equivalents (as defined in the GE Credit Agreement) or (iii) any other Exchange Account as directed by Hertz or HGI; provided, however, that in no event shall any Legal Entity direct that any such investment, directly or indirectly, be in any security of a Legal Entity or any of its affiliates.  Interest and other amounts, or any benefits earned in lieu of the payment of interest, earned on the Escrow Funds shall be treated as Escrow Funds and the parties hereto agree that absent a change in law, all information returns shall identify the applicable Legal Entity as the recipient.

(b)  If any Qualified Earnings on Relinquished Property Proceeds are held in an Exchange Account, such Qualified Earnings shall not be disbursed during the Exchange Period for the related Relinquished Property.  Any Qualified Earnings as to which the Exchange Period of the Relinquished Property has expired shall thereafter be deemed Additional Subsidies.

ARTICLE V

SECTION 5.01.  Distribution of Escrow Funds.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds in its possession until instructed hereunder to deliver the Escrow Funds or any specified portion thereof as follows:

(a)  If the Escrow Agent receives a request pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof authorizing release of the Escrow Funds, or a portion thereof, the Escrow Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions described in this Escrow Agreement, disburse the Escrow Funds, or designated portion thereof, including any interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds, pursuant to the instructions set forth in such request; provided, however, that other than as set forth in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the information contained in the request.

(b)  If the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder as related to funds that are attributable to designated Relinquished Property and any earnings thereon for failure to identify the Replacement Property with respect to any Relinquished Property within the Identification Period with respect to such Relinquished Property, signed jointly by or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and the applicable Legal Entity, the Escrow Agent shall, (a) if such notice is received by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, on the Business Day such notice is received or (b) otherwise one Business Day after receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds or designated portion thereof and disburse the Escrow Funds (including any interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds), or designated portion thereof, to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice; provided that (i) in the case of Escrow Funds of HVF (including any funds that are attributable to Relinquished Property owned by HVF and any earnings thereon), such amount shall be paid to the Collection Account and (ii) in the case of Escrow Funds of Hertz (including any funds that are attributable to Relinquished Property owned by Hertz and any earnings thereon) with respect to GE Financed Vehicles, such amount shall be paid to the GE Collateral Account.

(c)  If the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder, as related to designated Relinquished Property Proceeds, and any Qualified Earnings thereon, for failure to acquire Replacement Property within the Exchange Period, signed jointly by or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and the applicable Legal Entity, such party shall, (a) if such notice is received by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, on the Business Day such notice is received or (b) otherwise one Business Day after receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds or designated portion thereof and disburse the Escrow Funds (including any interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds), or designated portion thereof, to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice; provided that

8




(i) in the case of Escrow Funds of HVF, such amount shall be paid to the Collection Account and (ii) in the case of Escrow Funds of Hertz with respect to GE Financed Vehicles, such amount shall be paid to the GE Collateral Account.

(d)  If the Escrow Agent receives a written release notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto stating that a new escrow holder has been appointed pursuant to a new escrow agreement and authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder, signed jointly by or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and all Legal Entities and consented to by the Trustee and the GE Collateral Agent, such party shall release the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof), in the amounts and to the parties referenced in such notice, and any documentation related to the tax deferred exchange that it may hold.

(e)  If the Legal Entities terminate this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof, and thereafter the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto stating that a new escrow holder has been appointed pursuant to a new escrow agreement following the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, on the date set forth in such notice, which in no event shall be less than two (2) Business Days following such party’s receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds and disburse the Escrow Funds (including any income, interest, or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds) to such new escrow holder, pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice.  If (i) the Legal Entities terminate this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof or (ii) the Escrow Agent terminates this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.10 hereof, and thereafter the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto stating that a new escrow holder has not been appointed prior to the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, on the date set forth in such notice, which in no event shall be less than two (2) Business Days following such party’s receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds and disburse the Escrow Funds (including any income, interest, or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds), pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice.

(f)  The Escrow Agent will only accept instructions that have been signed by those persons authorized to do so per an authorization in the form of Exhibit B (as such exhibit may be amended and supplemented from time to time).  The signatures contained in an authorization in the form of Exhibit B hereto will be considered good and valid for all purposes of this Escrow Agreement until rescinded or modified in writing via a new authorization in the form of Exhibit B delivered to the Escrow Agent.

(g)  Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.06(a) hereof and this Section 5.01, the Escrow Funds may not be disbursed under any conditions except those set forth above in this Section 5.01, and the parties agree that neither the QI nor any Legal Entity shall have the authority to direct (and no such direction shall be effective against) the Escrow Agent to disburse Escrow Funds.  All disbursements made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement by the Escrow Agent shall be made by wire or other Electronic Funds Transfer unless such party, in its sole discretion, agrees to another method of disbursement.

(a)  The Escrow Agent shall invoice each Legal Entity quarterly for authorized fees and expenses payable by such Legal Entity.  Payments of reasonable fees and expenses pursuant to an invoice shall be due thirty (30) days from the date of each Legal Entity’s receipt of such invoice plus any required supporting documentation.

(b)  The Escrow Agent shall not have any obligation to, nor shall it incur any liability for failing to, advance, use or risk, in any manner or for any purpose, its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 6.01(b) shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(c)  Except as expressly contemplated by this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of in any manner all or any portion of the Escrow Funds, except pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d)  The duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein, and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied.  Other than as contemplated herein, the Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, or required to comply with, any other agreement between the Legal Entities and the QI or to which a Legal Entity or the QI is a party, or to comply with any direction or instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance with this Escrow Agreement) from a Legal Entity or the QI or an entity or entities acting on their behalf.

(e)  If at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process that in any way affects the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall, in the case of Escrow Funds of HVF, promptly notify the Trustee of such occurrence, in the case of Escrow Funds of Hertz with respect to GE Financed Vehicles, promptly notify the GE Collateral Agent of such occurrence, and, in any case, be authorized to comply therewith in any manner that it or legal counsel of its own choosing reasonably deems appropriate; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(f)  The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Funds held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property and shall not be required to invest any Escrow Funds held hereunder except as provided for in this Escrow Agreement.  Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

10




(g)  At any time the Escrow Agent may request an instruction in writing from any of the Legal Entities and the QI and may, at its own option, include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder.  The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting in accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein, provided that the specified date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after the applicable Legal Entity, the Trustee and the QI receive such party’s request for instructions and its proposed course of action, and provided further that, prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the written instructions requested, including a refusal to the proposed course of action.

(h)  In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received hereunder by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, only after notifying the applicable Legal Entity, the Trustee and the QI in writing, refrain from taking any action other than retaining possession of the Escrow Funds unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions, signed by such Legal Entity and the QI, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.

(i)  Each Legal Entity shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request, for any taxes relating to the Escrow Funds with respect to such Legal Entity incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from any amounts it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes.  In addition, all interest or other income earned under this Escrow Agreement shall be allocated to Exchangor for federal income tax purposes, and paid only as directed by the applicable Legal Entity and the QI pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, and reported by Exchangor to the IRS or any other taxing authority.  Notwithstanding any written directions, the Escrow Agent shall report, and as required withhold, any taxes it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of distribution.  If any earnings remain undistributed at the end of any calendar year, the Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS or such other authority such earnings as it deems appropriate or as required by any applicable law or regulation.  This Section 6.01(i) shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(j)  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it by a Legal Entity or otherwise hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof.  Subject to Section 5.01(f) hereto, the Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any instrument or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.  All written notices when received as provided pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof shall be valid and accepted whether signed in counterparts or one document.

SECTION 6.02.  Conflicting Instructions; Adverse Claims.  In the event of any disagreement between any Legal Entity and the QI resulting in conflicting instructions to (including the disapproval by the QI of a proposed Electronic Funds Transfer pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof), or adverse claims or demands by any Legal Entity and the QI upon,

11




the Escrow Agent with respect to the release of the Escrow Funds or any part thereof, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver a true copy thereof to the applicable Legal Entity, the QI and, in the case of a disagreement involving HVF, the Trustee and, in the case of a disagreement involving Hertz and Escrow Funds with respect to GE Financed Vehicles, the GE Collateral Agent, along with such party’s written notice in refusing to comply with the adverse claims or demands referred to above, or as an alternative, wait for clarification from both such Legal Entity and the QI before complying.  If the Escrow Agent gives written notice to the applicable Legal Entity, the QI and, if required, the Trustee or the GE Collateral Agent as referred to above, then the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to and be fully protected in refusing to comply with any claims or demands on it and shall continue to hold the Escrow Funds until it receives either (i) a written notice signed by both the QI and the applicable Legal Entity directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds or (ii) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, entered in a proceeding in which the QI and the applicable Legal Entity are named as parties, directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, in either of which events the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with said direction.  The Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with any such claims or demands until and unless it has received a direction of the nature described in clause (i) or (ii) above.  Upon the taking by the Escrow Agent of any action in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above the Escrow Agent shall be released of and from all liability hereunder with respect to the Escrow Funds.

SECTION 6.03.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, waivers, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, will be deemed given when actually received and will be given by personal delivery, by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged, by means of electronic mail, by same day or overnight courier services or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following addresses:

SECTION 6.04.  Notice of Claims Relating to the Escrow Accounts.  If the Escrow Agent receives a written notice signed by or on behalf of either the QI or a Legal Entity advising the Escrow Agent that there is a pending litigation between the QI and such Legal Entity or any other entity claiming entitlement to the Escrow Funds, (i) the Escrow Agent may, on notice to the QI, such Legal Entity, and in the case of litigation involving HVF, the Trustee and in the case of litigation involving Hertz and Escrow Funds with respect to GE Financed Vehicles, the GE Collateral Agent, deposit the Escrow Funds with the clerk of the court in which said litigation is pending; or (ii) take such affirmative steps as it elects in order to terminate its duties as escrow holder hereunder, including, without limitation, the deposit of the Escrow Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction and, if no action to which the QI and such Legal Entity are parties is then pending with respect to the Escrow Funds, the commencement of an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne jointly and severally by the QI and the applicable Legal Entity.

SECTION 6.05.  Limitation of Liabilities; Indemnification.  (a)  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial, at the request of the QI and each Legal Entity and for their convenience.  The Escrow Agent shall not be or be deemed to be the agent or trustee for the QI or any Legal Entity, and neither the QI nor any Legal Entity shall be or be deemed to be the agent or trustee of the Escrow Agent.  The QI and each Legal Entity agree that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever for any action taken, suffered or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or the performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, and do hereby release and waive any claim they may have against the Escrow Agent, which may result from its performance of its obligations under this Escrow Agreement other than as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Subject to the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for (a) acting in accordance with or relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from any Legal Entity or the QI or any entity acting on behalf of any Legal Entity or the QI provided for herein, (b) the acts or omissions in compliance and accordance with this Escrow Agreement of its nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians, so long as such nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians are selected with due care, (c) the investment or reinvestment of any Escrow Funds held by it hereunder in good faith in accordance with the terms hereof, (d) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument delivered to it, (e) the form of execution of any such document or instrument, (f) the apparent identity, authority, or rights of any person executing or delivering any such document or instrument, (g) the terms and conditions of any document or instrument pursuant to which the parties may act, (h) the validity or effectiveness of

14




any of the transactions, or the treatment for tax purposes of any of the transactions contemplated herein, (i) the sale of the Relinquished Property or the selection or terms of acquisition of any Replacement Property or other property, or the state of title, condition, quality or value of any Relinquished Property, Replacement Property or other property, (j) compliance with or monitoring the requirements of Section 1031 of the Code and/or Revenue Procedure 2003-39, or (k) the treatment for tax purposes of any Escrow Funds delivered or held hereunder or the income, interest or other amounts which may be earned or accrue relative to the Escrow Funds.  Subject to Section 5.01(f), the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the authenticity of any signature purporting to be by the QI or any Legal Entity received by it relating to this Escrow Agreement.

(b)  Hertz shall, and hereby does, indemnify, protect, save, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from and against all claims, loss, damage and costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to acts involving gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent.  The provisions of this Section 6.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

(c)  The Escrow Agent shall not be required to give any bond or other security hereunder.  The QI and each Legal Entity hereby acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss, cost or damage that the QI or any Legal Entity or any other person or entity may sustain by reason of the failure to pay, default, insolvency or bankruptcy of any entity or investment in which the Escrow Funds may have been invested or deposited which prevents or delays payment of the Escrow Funds or any interest, income or other amount earned or accrued thereon as herein provided.

SECTION 6.06.  Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns.  This Escrow Agreement, the Master Exchange Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein contain the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and there are no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties not expressly set forth herein.  Except as expressly otherwise allowed herein, no party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Escrow Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no assignment shall be effective without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition; provided further, however, that (1) each Legal Entity may pledge all of its right, title and interest in this Agreement to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the Related Documents or by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) and (2) any party hereto may assign (subject to the Rating Agency Condition) this Agreement, without such written consent, other than the written consent of HVF and Hertz in the case of an assignment by the Escrow Agent, to a successor or surviving entity resulting from a merger or acquisition involving substantially all of a party’s stock or assets.  To secure the payment of the Note Obligations from time to time owing by HVF under the Indenture, HVF has pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts), and the Escrow Agent, Hertz and HGI hereby consent to such assignment.  To secure HGI’s obligations under the HGI Credit Facility and all other liabilities of HGI from time to time

15




owing by HGI to Hertz thereunder, HGI has pledged and assigned, to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the HGI Secured Parties, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) and the Escrow Agent, Hertz and HVF hereby consent to such assignment.  To secure Hertz’s obligations under the GE Credit Agreement, the GE Collateral Agreement and the other GE Loan Documents, Hertz has pledged and assigned to the GE Collateral Agent for the benefit of the secured parties under the GE Collateral Agreement a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) insofar as it relates to GE Financed Vehicles and the Escrow Agent, HVF and HGI hereby consent to such assignment.

SECTION 6.07.  Counterparts.  This Escrow Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts when taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement by any party hereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof have been executed and delivered by each other party hereto.  It will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any other counterparts.

SECTION 6.08.  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing contained in this Escrow Agreement is intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 6.09.  Authorization.  Each Person signing this Escrow Agreement and any accompanying exhibits each represent and warrant that such Person has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Escrow Agreement and any accompanying exhibits on behalf of the party for whom they are so executing and delivering the same.

SECTION 6.10.  Termination.  (a)  Upon delivery of all of the Escrow Funds and all interest earned thereon as required or permitted hereunder and following written notice to each of the Escrow Agent and the Trustee of termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged from all obligations and liabilities hereunder with respect thereto and this Escrow Agreement shall thereupon be deemed terminated.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to terminate this Escrow Agreement, as it relates to such party, at any time (the “Termination Date”) prior to complete disbursement of all of the Escrow Funds upon not less than ninety (90) Business Days’ notice to the QI, each Legal Entity and the Trustee, provided, however, that if a notice to disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof is received by the Escrow Agent and such disbursement is to occur prior to the Termination Date, then the Escrow Agent will comply with the terms of this Escrow Agreement and make such disbursement pursuant hereto.  If the Escrow Agent gives notice setting a Termination Date, the Legal Entities and the QI may, at their option and provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding is satisfied with respect thereto, appoint one or more new escrow agents pursuant to an escrow agreement substantially in the form of this Escrow Agreement and, provided, the Escrow Agent shall receive an instruction substantially in

16




the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with such instruction.

SECTION 6.11.  No Discretion.  The Escrow Agent may act through agents or attorneys-in-fact, by and under a power of attorney duly executed by the Escrow Agent in carrying out any of the powers and duties pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, subject to clause (b) of Section 6.05(a) hereof.  The Escrow Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder.

SECTION 6.12.  GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE.  THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.  VENUE SHALL BE IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 6.13.  JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  EACH LEGAL ENTITY, THE QI AND THE ESCROW AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM THERETO.

SECTION 6.14.   Certain Bankruptcy Events.  If the Escrow Agent:

(a)  suffers the entry against it of a judgment, decree or order for relief by a court of competent jurisdiction or any regulatory agency in an involuntary proceeding commenced under any applicable insolvency, receivership or other similar law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or has any such proceeding commenced against it which remains undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days, or

(b)  commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect; or applies for or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law; or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or fails generally to pay (or admits in writing its inability to pay) its debts as such debts become due; or takes corporate or other action to authorize any of the foregoing,

(c)  then the Legal Entities may, immediately upon notice to the QI, the Trustee, the GE Collateral Agent and the Escrow Agent (together with a copy of the replacement escrow agreement referred to below), and subject to satisfication of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Outstanding Series of Notes, terminate this Escrow Agreement, appoint, or cause the QI to appoint, a successor escrow agent and enter into a replacement escrow agreement with such successor.

SECTION 6.15.  Force Majeure.  No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement if such inability to perform is caused by, circumstances reasonably beyond a party’s control, such as natural disasters, fire, floods, third party strikes, failure of

17




public utilities or telecommunications infrastructure or any other causes reasonably beyond its control.

SECTION 6.16.  Treasury Regulations Disclosure Requirements.  Each Legal Entity represents that it does not intend to treat any transaction contemplated by this Escrow Agreement as a reportable transaction within the meaning of Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, and without limiting the foregoing, will fully comply with the filing and reporting requirements applicable to like-kind exchanges, including any requirement in applicable regulations and forms.  In the event that any Legal Entity determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, such Legal Entity will promptly notify the QI, and each Legal Entity acknowledges that in this event, any other party to this Escrow Agreement may treat the transaction as subject to Section 301.6112-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and maintain the investor list and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

SECTION 6.17.  Power of Attorney.  Each of HVF and HGI shall execute on the date hereof a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, pursuant to which Hertz may exercise any of HVF’s or HGI’s rights under this Escrow Agreement, including the right to execute any and all documents pertaining to the transfer or release of Escrow Funds and to terminate the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 6.18.  No Petitions.  The Escrow Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against HVF, the QI or Hertz, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.  In the event that the Escrow Agent takes action in violation of this Section 6.18, (i) each of the QI and HVF agrees, for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties, and (ii) Hertz agrees, for the benefit of the parties to the GE Loan Documents, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the Escrow Agent against the QI, HVF or Hertz or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Escrow Agent has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert.

The provisions of this Section 6.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.19.  Waiver of Setoff.  The Escrow Agent agrees that all monies, checks, instruments and other items of payment deposited into the Escrow Accounts shall not be subject to deduction, setoff, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person, except that such party may setoff (i) any checks credited to the Escrow Accounts and thereafter returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds and (ii) items, including, without limitation any Automated Clearing House transactions, which are returned for any reason or any adjustments.

SECTION 6.20.  Electronic Documentation.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that any instruction required to be delivered in the form of Exhibit A may be provided in an

18




electronic form so long as the form of electronic documentation used is sufficient to constitute a legal and binding instruction.

SECTION 6.21.  Servicer.  The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz acts as Servicer of HVF and HGI pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, and, in such capacity, as the agent of HVF and HGI, for purposes of performing certain duties of HVF and HGI under this Escrow Agreement.  The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz, as Servicer, may take any action to be taken by HVF or HGI under this Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 6.22.  Amendments.  This Escrow Agreement may be amended and supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all the parties hereto upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding.

SECTION 6.23.  Availability of Funds for Payments.  Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary, HVF shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Escrow Agreement unless HVF has funds which are not required to repay any Notes Outstanding when due.  Prior to the commencement of an insolvency proceeding by or against HVF, any amount which HVF does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of HVF for any such insufficiency unless and until HVF satisfies the provisions of such preceding sentence.

(b) No consent, action by or in respect of, approval or other authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the valid execution and delivery by the Grantor of this Agreement or for the performance of any of the Grantor’s obligations hereunder other than such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings as shall have been obtained by the Grantor prior to the date hereof.
(c) This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Grantor enforceable against the Grantor in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity and by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing).

SECTION 3.2. Covenants of the Grantor.  The Grantor hereby agrees that:

(c) It shall warrant and defend the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Hertz Collateral and the Proceeds thereof, for the benefit of the Secured Party against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

ARTICLE IV

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 4.1. Appointment.  (a) Each of the Secured Party and the Grantor, by its execution of this Agreement, appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under and for purposes of this Agreement and the Base Agreement.  Each of the Secured Party and the Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to act on behalf of the Secured Party or the Grantor, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Base Agreement and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Secured Party with respect to the Hertz Collateral or the Grantor with respect to the Other Hertz Assets as may be received from time to time by the Collateral Agent (with respect to which the Collateral Agent agrees that it will comply) to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof and such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.  The Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Secured Party, in its name and stead, for such purposes as are necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement and the Base Agreement, including, without limitation, in exercising remedies upon or otherwise dealing with the Hertz Collateral.  Such power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(b) If the Secured Party represents in writing to the Collateral Agent that it has the right to act with respect to the Hertz Collateral pursuant to the GE Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon such representation and shall exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges available to the Secured Party with respect to the Hertz Collateral to the extent and in the manner directed by the Secured Party, at the expense of the Grantor and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 4.4(d)), as permitted under the GE Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings.  Each of the Grantor and the Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent may exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges in lieu of the Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence.

(c) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent shall default in its obligation to exercise the rights, remedies,

4




powers or privileges of the Secured Party with respect to the Hertz Collateral in accordance with the direction of the Secured Party (including any rights under Section 4.1(b)), the Collateral Agent shall, upon the written request of the Secured Party, assign to the Secured Party the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Hertz Collateral and shall, at the Collateral Agent’s expense, execute those instruments and documents necessary to effectuate such assignment.

SECTION 4.2. Representations.  The Collateral Agent hereby represents and warrants that (i) it is an Illinois trust company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois and it has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part, and this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Collateral Agent, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by the application of equitable principles.

SECTION 4.3. Exculpatory Provisions.  The Collateral Agent makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Hertz Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Grantor thereto, as to the protection afforded by this Agreement or the Base Agreement, as to any statements, representations or warranties made by any Person (other than itself) in or in connection with this Agreement, the Base Agreement or any GE Loan Document, as to the validity, execution (except its own execution), enforceability (except enforceability against itself), priority, perfection, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Base Agreement or any GE Loan Document or any documents or instruments referred to herein or therein, or the sufficiency or effectiveness or perfection or priority of any Lien on any collateral described in this Agreement, or as to the validity or collectibility of any obligation contemplated by this Agreement or the Base Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters.  The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Hertz Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Hertz Collateral or for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of its security interest in the Hertz Collateral purported to be granted hereby or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Hertz Collateral.

SECTION 4.4. Limitations on Duties of the Collateral Agent.  (a) The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform only the duties expressly set forth herein and in the Base Agreement and no implied duties shall be read into this Agreement or the Base Agreement.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute the Collateral Agent a trustee or fiduciary for the Secured Party.

(b) The Collateral Agent may exercise the rights and powers granted to it by this Agreement and the Base Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, but only pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Base Agreement.

(c) The Collateral Agent’s duty of care shall be solely to deal with the Hertz Collateral as it would deal with property of its own, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer thereof, or for any action taken or

omitted to be taken by it in accordance with this Agreement or the Base Agreement, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

(d) Except as required by the specific terms of this Agreement or the Base Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion and shall have no duty to exercise or to refrain from exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege granted to it hereby or by the Base Agreement, or to take any affirmative action or refrain from taking any affirmative action hereunder or thereunder, unless directed to do so by the Secured Party or, as provided in the Base Agreement, the Servicer (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting pursuant to or in accordance with such directions, which shall be binding on the Secured Party).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action (a) that in its reasonable opinion is or may be contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, the Base Agreement, any GE Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Hertz Collateral, or (b) which might or would in its reasonable opinion subject it or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents to personal or financial liability unless it is indemnified hereunder or under the Base Agreement to its satisfaction (and if any indemnity should become, in the reasonable determination of the Collateral Agent, inadequate, the Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease to act until such additional indemnity is given).

(e) The Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, retain counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it and may act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel, independent accountants and other experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies hereby and by the Base Agreement created and its duties hereunder and thereunder, and shall be held harmless and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance upon or in accordance with the statements and advice of such counsel (or counsel to the Grantor), accountants and other experts.

(f) In the event that the Collateral Agent receives conflicting instructions delivered in accordance with this Agreement or the Base Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to seek instructions concerning its duties and actions under this Agreement or the Base Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.  If the Collateral Agent receives unclear or conflicting instructions, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking action until clear or non-conflicting instructions are received, but shall inform the instructing party or parties promptly of its decision to refrain from taking such action.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any disagreement between the parties hereto resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with the Hertz Collateral, or in the event that the Collateral Agent in good faith is in doubt as to what action it should take hereunder or under the Base Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain the Hertz Collateral until the Collateral Agent shall have received (i) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing delivery of the Hertz Collateral or (ii) a written agreement executed by the other parties hereto directing delivery of the Hertz Collateral in which event the Collateral Agent shall disburse the Hertz Collateral in accordance with such order or agreement.  Upon request of the Collateral Agent, any such court order shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the effect that such order is final.

6




(g) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the Base Agreement, any GE Loan Document or any other agreements or instruments relating to the Hertz Collateral on the part of any party hereto or thereto or to inspect any books and records relating to the Hertz Collateral other than as it determines necessary in the fulfillment of its own obligations hereunder.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, paper or other document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, given or sent by the proper Person or Persons.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assume that a Collateral Account, and any funds on deposit in or to the credit of a Collateral Account, are not subject to any writ, order, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process (collectively, a “writ”), unless (i) the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or (ii) the Collateral Agent has received written notice from the Grantor or the Secured Party that such writ has been issued and, in each case, continues to be in effect, which notice specifies the nature thereof.

(i) The Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Servicer, the Grantor, any Manufacturer and their respective Affiliates as if it were not the agent of the Secured Party.

(j) The Collateral Agent may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any negligent act on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care.  The appointment of agents, custodians and nominees (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (j) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Grantor and the Secured Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any consents required under the Base Agreement.  The possession of the Hertz Collateral by such agents, custodians or nominees shall be deemed to be the possession by the Collateral Agent.  No provision of this Agreement or the Base Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial or other liability in the performance of any duties hereunder or under the Base Agreement or in the exercise of any rights and powers hereunder or thereunder unless the Collateral Agent is provided with an indemnity from the Secured Party or other Persons, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion.

SECTION 4.5. Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent.  (a)  If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed as “collateral agent” under the Base Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall concurrently therewith resign as Collateral Agent hereunder.  Any removed Collateral Agent shall be entitled to its reasonable fees and expenses to the date the successor Collateral Agent assumes the Collateral Agent’s duties hereunder.  The indemnification of Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement as to the predecessor Collateral Agent.  Any successor “collateral agent” under the Base Agreement shall also be designated as Collateral Agent hereunder.

(b) The designation referred to in Section 4.5(a) shall, after any required filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title

7




of its predecessors and upon such filing for record the successor Collateral Agent shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of its predecessors; but any predecessor Collateral Agent shall nevertheless, on the written request of the Secured Party, the Servicer, the Grantor or any successor Collateral Agent empowered to act as such at the time any such request is made, execute and deliver an instrument without recourse or representation transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it to such successor Collateral Agent.  Upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent hereunder, the predecessor Collateral Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement.

SECTION 4.6. Merger of the Collateral Agent.  Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be converted or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party shall be the Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

SECTION 4.7. Compensation and Expenses.  The Grantor shall pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time (i) compensation for its services hereunder for administering the Hertz Collateral and the Other Hertz Assets as the Collateral Agent and the Grantor shall from time to time agree in writing, and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (A) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, or modification of this Agreement and/or the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or (B) incurred in connection with the administration of the Hertz Collateral, the sale or other disposition of the Hertz Collateral or the Other Hertz Assets and/or the preservation, protection or defense of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement and in and to the Hertz Collateral or the Other Hertz Assets.

SECTION 4.8. Stamp, Other Similar Taxes and Filing Fees.  The Grantor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or other similar tax and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with this Agreement or any Hertz Collateral.  The Grantor shall pay, or reimburse the Collateral Agent for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration fees, taxes, excise taxes and other similar imposts payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.9. Indemnification.  The Grantor shall pay, and indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of the officers, employees, directors and agents thereof harmless from and against, any and all liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Hertz Collateral and the execution, delivery, amendment, enforcement, performance and/or administration of this Agreement (and any agreements related thereto, including the Base Agreement), including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and other experts, and the Grantor shall reimburse the Secured Party for any payments made by the

8




Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents for any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Grantor shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities (including liabilities for penalties and liabilities arising or resulting from actions or suits), obligations, losses, judgments, demands, damages, claims, costs or expenses of the Collateral Agent or any such officers, employees, directors or agents which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or any such agent.

The Secured Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent and each of its officers, employees, directors and agents harmless to the same extent as the Grantor in accordance with the foregoing paragraph but only to the extent that the Collateral Agent has not been paid by the Grantor pursuant to such paragraph or pursuant to the Base Agreement.

SECTION 4.10. Waiver of Set-Off by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent hereby expressly waives any and all rights of setoff, abatement, diminution or deduction that it may otherwise at any time have under applicable law with respect to the Hertz Collateral, provided, however, that this waiver shall not apply to obligations, if any, owed to the Collateral Agent as an agent for the Secured Party; and agrees that all Hertz Collateral shall at all times be held and applied in accordance with the provisions hereof.

AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT, dated as of November 20, 2006, among (i) HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) each Stockholder listed in the signature pages hereof, and (iii) any other Stockholder that may become a party to this Agreement after the date and pursuant to the terms hereof.  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in Section 5.1.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, on December 21, 2005, the Company acquired from Ford Holdings LLC, indirectly, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the acquisition of Hertz, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005, with its stockholders as of that date (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Company is proposing to consummate an IPO; and

WHEREAS the Stockholders and the Company desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement as provided herein to set forth their respective rights and obligations following the IPO.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
[RESERVED]

ARTICLE II
GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY

2.1           Board of Directors/Committees.

(a)           Board Nominees.

(i)            Prior to a Controlled Company Event.  Subject to Section 2.6, and prior to a Controlled Company Event, the Stockholders and the Company shall take all Necessary Action to cause the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) to be comprised of up to fifteen directors:

(A)          three of whom shall be designated by CD&R (such persons, the “CD&R Nominees”);



(B)           one of whom shall be designated by Carlyle and one of whom shall be designated by CEP II U.S. Investment, L.P. (such persons, the “Carlyle Nominees”);
(C)           two of whom shall be designated by Merrill (such persons, the “Merrill Nominees”, and collectively with the CD&R Nominees and the Carlyle Nominees, the “Investor Nominees”);
(D)          three of whom shall be Independent Directors, with each Principal Investor having the right to designate one such Independent Director and each such Independent Director being subject to Unanimous Investor Approval;
(E)           unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, one of whom shall be the Chief Executive Officer (the identity of which shall be subject to Section 2.5) (the “CEO Nominee”), it being understood and agreed that such approval is hereby given for Mr. Mark Frissora to be a member of the Board while he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
(F)           unless otherwise agreed by Majority Approval, one of whom shall be Mr. Craig Koch, until such time as Mr. Mark Frissora succeeds Mr. Craig Koch as Chairman of the Board; and
(G)           up to three of whom shall be additional Independent Directors designated by Unanimous Investor Approval.

(ii)           Following a Controlled Company Event.  If, following a Controlled Company Event and after giving effect to Section 2.6, the membership of the Board as designated in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i) would not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), (A) the number of CD&R Nominees, Carlyle Nominees and Merrill Nominees shall each be reduced by one (but in no event reduced to less than one except as provided in Section 2.6), (B) each Principal Investor shall cause one of its Investor Nominees to resign, and (C) the directors remaining in office shall elect Independent Directors to fill each of the vacancies created by such resignations.  If, after giving effect to the foregoing, the membership of the Board would still not comply with the requirements of Applicable Law (after giving effect to applicable transition periods, if any), the Company and the Stockholders will take all Necessary Action to cause the Company to comply with Applicable Law with respect to the composition of the Board (which may include the election of additional Independent Directors as members of the Board and Committees, either as a result of an increase in the membership of the Board or the pro rata reduction in the number of Investor Nominees and their resignation from the Board or Committees, or both).

2




(b)           Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman of the Board shall be one of the CD&R Nominees, as selected by the CD&R Nominees, provided that if CD&R approves of the appointment of the CEO Nominee as the Chairman of the Board, (i) such CEO Nominee, rather than a CD&R Nominee, shall serve as Chairman of the Board, and (ii) during the term of the CEO Nominee’s service as Chairman of the Board, one of the CD&R Nominees, as selected by the CD&R Nominees, shall serve as lead director responsible for chairing meetings (or portions thereof) of the Board during which no management employees of the Company are present.

(c)           Classified Board.  The certificate of incorporation and the by-laws of the Company shall provide that the directors of the Company, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, shall be classified with respect to the time for which they severally hold office into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible.  One class’s (“Class I”) term will expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the date hereof, another class’s (“Class II”) term will expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the date hereof and another class’s (“Class III”) term will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the date hereof; provided that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.  Thereafter, at each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, the successors of the 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.  The Investor Nominees shall be allocated among the three classes of the Board as follows:  (i) one CD&R Nominee shall be allocated to each of Class I, Class II and Class III; and (ii) one Carlyle Nominee and one Merrill Nominee shall be allocated to each of Class I and Class III; provided that if the number of Investor Nominees is reduced pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) or Section 2.6, upon the resignation of an affected Investor Nominee from a class of the Board, the right to designate successor Investor Nominees to such class shall expire.

(d)           Committees.  The by-laws of the Company shall provide for an executive and governance committee, a compensation committee, an audit committee and such other committees as the Board may determine (collectively, the “Committees”); provided that, following a Control Company Event, the executive and governance committee shall be renamed the executive committee and the Committees shall include a nominating and governance committee.  Subject to Section 2.6, the executive and governance committee shall consist of the Chairman of the Board, a CD&R Nominee (if the CD&R Nominee is not the Chairman of the Board), a Carlyle Nominee, a Merrill Nominee and, if the Chief Executive Officer is not the Chairman of the Board and is a member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer.  The CD&R Nominee that is a member of the executive and governance committee shall serve as its chairman.  Each Committee shall consist of at

3

8

11




(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Stockholder shall Transfer any Equity Securities (whether or not the proposed Transferee is a Permitted Transferee or such Transfer would otherwise be permitted by Section 3.1(a)) (i) to any Competitor or (ii) if any such Transfer would constitute a Prohibited Transaction, unless, in any such case, such Transfer has received Unanimous Investor Approval in writing.

3.3           Tag-Along Rights.

(a)           In the event of a proposed Transfer of Shares by a Stockholder (a “Transferring Stockholder”) other than (x) to a Permitted Transferee or (y) in connection with a Public Offering (including a shelf takedown) in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement (with respect to which each Stockholder’s right to participate in such Public Offering will be governed by the terms thereof), each Stockholder (other than the Transferring Stockholder) shall have the right to participate on the same terms and conditions and for the same per Share consideration as the Transferring Stockholder in the Transfer in the manner set forth in this Section 3.3.  Prior to any such Transfer, the Transferring Stockholder shall deliver to the Company prompt written notice (the “Transfer Notice”), which the Company will forward to the Stockholders (other than the Transferring Stockholder, the “Tag-Along Participants”) within 5 days of receipt thereof, which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed Transferee, (ii) the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred (the “Transferred Securities”) and the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitute of the total number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholder, (iii) the proposed purchase price therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the proposed Transfer date (which date may not be less than 35 days after delivery to the Tag-Along Participants of the Transfer Notice).  Such notice shall be accompanied by a written offer from the proposed Transferee to purchase the Transferred Securities, which offer may be conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholder, or the most recent drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholder and the Transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the Tag-Along Participants in such sale consistent with this Section 3.3.

(b)           Each Tag-Along Participant may elect to participate in the proposed Transfer to the proposed Transferee identified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to the Company and to the Transferring Stockholder within the 15 day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice to such Tag-Along Participant, which notice shall state that such Tag-Along Participant elects to exercise its rights of tag-along under this Section 3.3 and shall state the maximum number of shares sought to be Transferred (which number may not exceed the product of (i) all such Shares owned by such Tag-Along Participant plus the number of Shares owned by any Affiliate Tag-Along Assignor of such Tag-Along Participant, multiplied by (ii) the Tag Percentage).  As used in this Agreement, the term “Affiliate Tag-Along Assignor” with respect to any Stockholder shall mean an Affiliate of such Stockholder or, in the case of any member of a Principal Investor Group, any other member of such Principal Investor Group that, in each case, shall have waived, by means of written notice to the Company and the Transferring Stockholder, its tag-along rights pursuant to this Section 3.3 with respect to the applicable Transfer in favor of such Stockholder.  Each Tag-Along Participant shall be deemed to

13




have waived its right of tag-along with respect to the Transferred Securities hereunder if it fails to give notice within the prescribed time period.  The proposed Transferee of Transferred Securities will not be obligated to purchase a number of Shares exceeding that set forth in the Transfer Notice, and in the event such Transferee elects to purchase less than all of the additional Shares sought to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Participants, the number of Shares to be Transferred by the Transferring Stockholder and each such Tag-Along Participant shall be reduced so that each such Stockholder is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Portion of the number of Shares the proposed Transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Transferred Securities set forth in the Transfer Notice).

(c)           Each Tag-Along Participant, if it is exercising its tag-along rights hereunder, shall deliver to the Transferring Stockholder at the closing of the Transfer of the Transferring Stockholder’s Transferred Securities to the Transferee certificates representing the Transferred Securities to be Transferred by such holder, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  Each Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall receive consideration in the same form and per share amount after deduction of such Stockholder’s proportionate share of the related expenses.  Each Stockholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring Stockholder so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, that any general indemnity given by the Transferring Stockholder, applicable to liabilities not specific to the Transferring Stockholder, to the Transferee in connection with such sale shall be apportioned among the Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 3.3 according to the consideration received by each such Stockholder and shall not exceed such Stockholder’s net proceeds from the sale; provided, further, that any representation relating specifically to a Stockholder and/or its ownership of the Equity Securities to be Transferred shall be made only by that Stockholder.  The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 3.3 and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder in respect of its Equity Securities to be Transferred; provided that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 3.3 (excluding de minimis expenditures).  The proposed Transfer date may be extended beyond the date described in the Transfer Notice to the extent necessary to obtain required approvals of

14




Regulatory Entities and other required approvals and the Company and the Stockholders shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such approvals.

(d)           If the Transferring Stockholder sells or otherwise Transfers to the Transferee any of its Shares in breach of this Section 3.3, then each Tag-Along Participant shall have the right to sell to each Transferring Stockholder, and each Transferring Stockholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-Along Participant, the number of Shares that such Tag-Along Participant would have had the right to sell to the Transferee pursuant to this Section 3.3, for a per Share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Transferee bought such Shares from the Transferring Stockholder, but without any indemnity being granted by any Tag-Along Participant to the Transferring Stockholder; provided that nothing contained in this Section 3.3(d) shall preclude any Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against any such Transferring Stockholder as a result of its breach of this Section 3.3.

3.4           Drag Along Right.

(a)           If one or more members of the Principal Investor Groups propose to Transfer all of their Equity Securities, representing more than 50% of the Voting Securities of the Company, and, for so long as such a Transfer requires any approval hereunder, such Transfer has been so approved, then if requested by the Stockholder(s) Transferring such Equity Securities (the “Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s)”), each other Stockholder (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall be required to sell all of the Equity Securities held by it of the same type as any of the Equity Securities to be Transferred (or then convertible into any such type).

(b)           The consideration to be received by a Selling Stockholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share to be received by the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), and the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s) sells its Equity Securities.   In connection with the transaction contemplated by Section 3.4(a) (the “Drag Transaction”), each Selling Stockholder will agree to make or agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s) so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by each Stockholder; provided, that (i) any general indemnity given by the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), applicable to liabilities not specific to the Section 3.4 Transferring Stockholder(s), to the purchaser in connection with such sale shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholders according to the consideration received by each Selling Stockholder and shall not exceed such Selling Stockholder’s net proceeds from the sale, (ii) that any representation relating specifically to a Selling Stockholder and/or its Equity Securities shall be made only by that Selling Stockholder, and (iii) in no event shall any Stockholder be obligated to agree to any non-competition covenant or other similar agreement as a condition of participating in such Transfer.

15




(c)           The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 3.4 and for the benefit of all Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Stockholder in respect of its Equity Securities; provided that no Stockholder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 3.4 (excluding de minimis expenditures).

If to any other Stockholder, to its address set forth on the signature page of such Stockholder to this Agreement with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to any party so indicated thereon.  All such notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications shall be deemed to have been received (w) if by personal delivery, on the day delivered, (x) if by certified or registered mail, on the fifth Business Day after the mailing thereof, (y) if by overnight courier, on the day delivered, or (z) if by fax, on the day delivered.

6.13         Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without rendering invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity, illegality or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.  If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.14         Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

6.15         Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

6.16         Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might

31




otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

6.17         Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any such suit, action or other proceeding except in such courts).  Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth or referred to in Section 6.12 shall be effective service of process for any such suit, action or other proceeding.  Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or other proceeding in (i) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

6.18         Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.  Each party (a) certifies and acknowledges that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (b) acknowledges that it understands and has considered the implications of this waiver and makes this waiver voluntarily, and that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into the Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 6.18.

6.19         Enforcement.  Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.  In the event that the Company or one or more Principal Investors shall file suit to enforce the covenants contained in this Agreement (or obtain any other remedy in respect of any breach thereof), the prevailing party in the suit shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

6.20         Certain Relationships.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, including pursuant to Section 2.7, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as

32




precluding Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or any of Merrill’s other Affiliates from having acted or acting in the future as a financial advisor, corporate broker, underwriter or in any other capacity for the Company (or any of its Affiliates or beneficial owners) or for any other Person, for separate consideration as may be set forth in a separate engagement letter or other agreement among the relevant parties.  Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obliging Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated or any of Merrill’s other Affiliates to act on behalf of, or perform any services for, the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or beneficial owners, for any purpose whatsoever (whether specifically set forth herein or otherwise) without the negotiation of a separate engagement letter or other written agreement with respect to such actions or services among the relevant parties.

6.21         Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).

33




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement by their authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

3.                                       Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same Amendment.

4.                                       Governing Law.  This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles or rules of conflicts of law to the extent such principles or rules are not mandatorily applicable by statute and would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction).

5.                                       Continuing Effect of Registration Rights Agreement.  Except as amended hereby, the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force and effect.

Ladies and Gentleman:

Reference is made to the Consulting Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005 (the “CD&R Consulting Agreement”), among Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (formerly named CCMG Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”), The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”) and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, Inc. (“CD&R”).  The CD&R Consulting Agreement sets forth, among other things, the fees to be paid to CD&R by the Company and its subsidiaries for Consulting Services and Transaction Services to be performed by CD&R or its affiliates thereunder.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the CD&R Consulting Agreement.

The parties agree to terminate the CD&R Consulting Agreement pursuant to Section 4 thereof upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Public Offering (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).  In connection with such termination, the Company will pay (or will cause a subsidiary of the Company to pay) a fee of $5 million to CD&R (the “CD&R Termination Fee”) on the closing date of the Company’s initial Public Offering and, in consideration thereof, CD&R will waive any right to any Transaction Fee in connection with such Public Offering.  Upon payment of the CD&R Termination Fee, the CD&R Consulting Agreement will automatically terminate, provided that Section 3(b) and Section 3(d) thereof shall survive solely as to any portion of any Consulting Fee or Expenses accrued, but not paid or reimbursed, prior to such termination.

The termination of the CD&R Consulting Agreement has been requested by the Company (with Majority Approval, as defined in a Stockholders Agreement).  The CD&R Consulting Agreement is being terminated in reliance upon, and subject to, the concurrent termination of the Consulting Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005, among the Company, Hertz and TC Group IV, L.L.C. (the “Carlyle Consulting Agreement”) and the Consulting Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2005, among the Company, Hertz and Merrill Lynch Global Partners, Inc. (the “Merrill Consulting Agreement”), in each case in consideration of a fee in an amount equal to the CD&R Termination Fee and on terms substantially identical to this letter agreement.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, with each executed counterpart constituting an original, but all together one and the same instrument. This letter agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with




respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto. This letter agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within that state.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding and agreement, please sign and return this letter agreement, whereupon this letter agreement shall constitute a binding agreement with respect to the matters set forth herein.
