(c) In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable (i) for acting in good faith in accordance with or relying in good faith upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document reasonably believed by it to be from the Issuers or any Person acting on behalf of the Issuers so long as such action is reasonably believed by it to be taken in accordance with the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Escrow Agreement or (ii) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians acting in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement; provided that such nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians were chosen with due care by the Escrow Agent.

(d) The Escrow Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees.

(e) The Escrow Agent may consult with legal counsel of its own selection (all at the expense of the Issuers pursuant to Section 9 hereof) as to any matter relating to this Escrow Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel.

(f) The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence reasonably beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, war, terrorism or other catastrophe, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire, computer (hardware or software) or communication facility).

(g) The Issuers, with the consent of the Trustee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), may remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving to the Escrow Agent ten Business Days’ prior notice in writing signed by the Issuers and the Trustee. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time by giving to the Issuers and the Trustee 15 Business Days’ prior written notice thereof.

(i) Within two Business Days after giving the foregoing notice of removal to the Escrow Agent or receiving the foregoing notice of resignation from the Escrow Agent, the Issuers shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent. If a successor Escrow Agent has not accepted such appointment by the end of such two Business Day period, the Escrow Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or for other appropriate relief. Pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the costs and expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and be deemed an obligation of, the Issuers.

(ii) Upon receipt of the identity of the successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Funds then held hereunder to the successor Escrow Agent.

(iii) Upon delivery of the Escrowed Funds to such successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder.

(h) Any Person into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent, shall be the successor of the Escrow Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further action on the part of any of the parties hereto.

(i) The Escrow Agent shall, on a monthly basis and upon the request of the Issuers, from time to time, provide to the Issuers a statement identifying transactions, transfers or holdings of the Escrowed Funds.

(j) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible in any respect for the form, execution, validity, value or genuineness of documents, or for any description therein, or for the identity, authority or rights of Persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or endorsement.

(k) In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may refrain from taking any action other than releasing the Escrowed Funds in accordance with Section 4 hereof, unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions, signed by each of the Company and the Trustee, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.

(l) The Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument or document reasonably believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Any communication, instrument or document required or permitted under this Escrow Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given to the address set forth in Section 10.1 hereof (or to such other address as may be substituted therefor by written notification to the Issuers). Notices to the Escrow Agent shall be deemed to be given when actually received by the Escrow Agent. Whenever under the terms hereof the time for giving a notice or performing an

act falls upon a non-Business Day, such time shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Escrow Agent is open for business.

(m) In the event of any dispute between, or conflicting claims, demands or instructions by or among, any parties to this Escrow Agreement (other than the Escrow Agent) with respect to any Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such Escrowed Funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way for such failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrowed Funds in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonably refuse to act until either (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Escrow Agent or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all Losses (as defined herein) which it may incur by reason of so acting. The Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem necessary. Pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed an obligation of, the Issuers.

(n) The rights and remedies conferred upon the Escrow Agent and each of the parties hereto shall be cumulative, and the exercise or waiver of any such right or remedy shall not preclude or inhibit the exercise of any additional rights or remedies. The waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the subsequent exercise of such right or remedy.

(o) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrowed Funds hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession and/or control thereof. The Issuers shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for any taxes relating to the earnings of the Escrowed Funds incurred in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent for any such taxes that it is obligated to pay. Upon execution of this Escrow Agreement, the Company shall provide the Escrow Agent with a fully executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or other applicable form). The parties hereto agree that (i) for tax reporting purposes, and for any tax year, all interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement attributable to the Escrowed Funds shall be allocable to the Company and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company or HERC, as applicable, will include all amounts earned under the Escrow Agreement attributable to the Escrowed Funds in its gross income for federal, state and local tax purposes. It is understood that the Escrow Agent shall be responsible for income reporting only with respect to any income which may be earned on investment of funds which are a part of the Escrowed Funds and is not responsible for any other reporting.

(p) In no event shall the Escrow Agent be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any (i) damages, losses, liabilities or expenses arising out of services provided hereunder,

other than damages, losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal, (ii) special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action or (iii) amount in excess of the value of the Escrowed Funds, valued as of the date of deposit, plus all interest, dividends and other distributions and payments thereon.

SECTION 8. Indemnity.

The Issuers shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, losses, actions, obligations, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (“Losses”) directly or indirectly arising out of, relating to or in connection with its acceptance of its appointment hereunder or its performance as Escrow Agent (including Losses incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with its successful defense, in whole or in part, of any claim of willful misconduct or gross negligence on its part), except to the extent that such Losses arise from the Escrow Agent’s or any of its directors’, officers’ agents’ or employees’ willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction not subject to appeal.

10.2 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

Except as provided in Section 10.8 hereof, this Escrow Agreement may not be used to interpret another pledge, security or debt agreement of any Issuer and no such pledge, security or debt agreement (other than the Indenture) may be used to interpret this Escrow Agreement.

10.3 Severability.

The provisions of this Escrow Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect in that jurisdiction only such clause or provision, or part thereof, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision of this Escrow Agreement in any jurisdiction.

remedies of the Escrow Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Holders and each of their respective successors, permitted transferees and assigns.

Failure of any of the parties hereto or any Holder to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any of the parties hereto or any Holder of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such party or such Holder would otherwise have on any future occasion.

10.8 Interpretation of Agreement.

To the extent a term or provision of this Escrow Agreement (other than Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof) conflicts with the Indenture, the Indenture shall control with respect to the subject matter of such term or provision.

10.9 Termination.
