Maturity reference is to the "expected final maturity date" as opposed to the subsequent "legal maturity date." The expected final maturity date is the date by which Hertz and investors in the relevant indebtedness expect the relevant indebtedness to be repaid, which in the case of the HFLF Medium Term Notes was based upon various assumptions made at the time of the pricing of such notes. The legal final maturity date is the date on which the relevant indebtedness is legally due and payable.

The Company is highly leveraged and a substantial portion of its liquidity needs arise from debt service on its indebtedness and from the funding of its costs of operations, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company’s practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, so that its operations are unaffected by adverse financial market conditions.

Fleet Debt

HVF II U.S. Fleet Medium Term Notes

In February 2016, HVF II issued the Series 2016-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (collectively, the “HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes”) and Series 2016-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D (collectively, the “HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.06 billion. The expected maturities of the HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes and the HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes are March 2019 and March 2021, respectively. The HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes are comprised of approximately $333 million aggregate principal amount of 2.32% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $81 million aggregate principal amount of 3.72% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $25 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C, and $27 million aggregate principal amount of 5.73% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. The HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes are comprised of approximately $425 million aggregate principal amount of 2.95% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, $104 million aggregate principal amount of 3.94% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, $32 million aggregate principal amount of 4.99% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class C, and $34 million aggregate principal amount of 5.97% Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D. The Class B Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes of such series. The Class C Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes of such series. The Class D Notes of each series are subordinated to the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes and the Class C Notes of such series. An affiliate of HVF II purchased the Class D Notes of each such series, therefore, approximately $61 million of the obligation is eliminated in consolidation.
HVF II U.S. Fleet Variable Funding Notes

The net proceeds from the issuance of the HVF II Series 2016-1 Notes and HVF II Series 2016-2 Notes, together with available cash, were used to repay approximately $741 million of the outstanding principal amount of the HVF II Series 2014-A Notes and approximately $264 million of the outstanding principal amount of the HVF II Series 2013-A Notes.

As of March 31, 2016, the Senior ABL Facility had $1.03 billion available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2016, there were outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $628 million. Of this amount, $615 million was issued under the Senior Term Facility and the Senior ABL Facility (together, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). As of March 31, 2016, none of these letters of credit have been drawn upon.

Cash Restrictions

Certain amounts of cash and cash equivalents are restricted for the purchase of revenue earning vehicles and other specified uses under the Fleet Debt facilities and the Like-Kind Exchange Program ("LKE Program"). As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the portion of total restricted cash and cash equivalents that was associated with the Fleet Debt facilities was $298 million and $289 million, respectively. Restricted cash balances fluctuate based on the timing of purchases and sales of revenue earning vehicles and could also be impacted by the occurrence of an amortization event (an event that results in the amortization of indebtedness prior to its expected maturity).

Special Purpose Entities

Substantially all of the revenue earning equipment and certain related assets are owned by special purpose entities, or are encumbered in favor of the lenders under the various credit facilities, other secured financings and asset-backed securities programs. None of such assets (including the assets owned by Hertz Vehicle Financing II LP, Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, Rental Car Finance Corp., DNRS II LLC, HFLF, Donlen Trust and various international subsidiaries that facilitate the Company's international securitizations) are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors.

Some of these special purpose entities are consolidated variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, whose sole purpose is to provide commitments to lend in various currencies subject to borrowing bases comprised of rental vehicles and related assets of certain of Hertz International, Ltd.'s subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company's International Fleet Financing No. 1 B.V., International Fleet Financing No. 2 B.V. and HA Funding Pty, Ltd. variable interest entities had total assets of $400 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of loans receivable and revenue earning equipment, and total liabilities of $400 million and $418 million, respectively, primarily comprised of debt.

Financial Covenant Compliance

Under the terms of the Senior Term Facility and Senior ABL Facility, the Company is not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the Senior ABL Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject the Company to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio test.
