Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders to a Borrower ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class.

Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of eight Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. The provisions of this subsection (c) shall not be applicable to Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, which shall be issued in the denominations provided in Schedule III hereto. (d) Limitations on Interest Periods.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. (a) Notice by Borrowers. To request a Borrowing, the relevant Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days (or, in the case of a notice delivered on the date hereof, two Business Days) before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the applicable Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the applicable Administrative Agent and signed by the Company. Except for Section 2.03(d), the provisions of this Section 2.03 shall not be applicable to Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, which shall be subject to the notice requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of Schedule III hereto. 23 (b) Content of Borrowing Requests. Each telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a U.S. Revolving Borrowing, a U.S. Term Borrowing, a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing; (ii) the aggregate amount and (in the case of a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing) currency of the requested Borrowing; (iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (iv) whether such Borrowing is to be (i) an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, if such Borrowing is a U.S. Revolving Borrowing or a U.S. Term Borrowing, (ii) a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, if such Borrowing is a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing to Hertz Canada or (iii) an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, if such Borrowing is a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing to the Company; (v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period" and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and (vi) the identity of the Borrower and the location and number of the Borrower's account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.04. (c) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. (d) Failure to Elect. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, or if no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period having a duration of one month (if a Borrowing by the Company or a Borrowing by Hertz Canada denominated in U.S. Dollars) or a Bankers' Acceptance Loan Borrowing having a duration of 30 days (if a Borrowing by Hertz Canada denominated in Canadian Dollars). If no currency is selected in respect of a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be in (i) Canadian Dollars, if by Hertz Canada or (ii) U.S. Dollars, if by the Company. SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The applicable Administrative Agent 24 will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to (i) in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, an account of such Borrower maintained with the U.S. Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or (ii) in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, an account of Hertz Canada designated by it in the applicable Borrowing Request. (b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender of the applicable Class prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to such Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, such Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender of the applicable Class has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to such Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (a) if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) the rate determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (b) if such Loan is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the greater of (x) the CDOR Rate and (y) the rate determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars and such Borrower is not Hertz Canada), Canadian Prime Rate Loans (if such Loan is denominated in Canadian Dollars and such Borrower is Hertz Canada) or Canadian Base Rate Loans (if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars and such Borrower is Hertz Canada). If such Lender pays such amount to such Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing. SECTION 2.05. Interest Elections. (a) Elections by a Borrower for Borrowings. The Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the relevant Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type of the same Class or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and Class and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, that the Company may not elect to convert a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Canadian Term Loan made to it hereunder to anything other than an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan. Such Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of such Class holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. For any Canadian Borrowing converted from a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, the outstanding principal amount of such 25 Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing shall be deemed to be the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the U.S. Dollars of such Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing determined as of the date of such conversion. For any Canadian Borrowing converted from a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Canadian Dollars of such Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing determined as of the date of such conversion. (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the applicable Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the applicable Administrative Agent and signed by the Company. (c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, Eurodollar Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Canadian Base Rate Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period" and permitted under Section 2.02(d). (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing. (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period having a duration of one month (if a Borrowing by the Company) or a Banker's 26 Acceptance Loan Borrowing having a duration of 30 days (if a Borrowing by Hertz Canada). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders in respect of the Canadian Loans or the U.S. Loans, as applicable, so notify the relevant Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period therefor, be converted to an ABR Borrowing (if a Borrowing by the Company) or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing (if a Borrowing by Hertz Canada). (f) Bankers' Acceptances. The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall not be applicable to Bankers' Acceptances or BA Equivalent Loans, which shall be subject to the notice requirements set forth in paragraph (a) of Schedule III hereto. SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the unused Term Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date and the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Stated Maturity. (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is U.S. $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of U.S. $5,000,000, (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.08, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Class would exceed the total Revolving Commitments of such Class and (iii) any prepayment of Bankers' Acceptances shall be subject to paragraph (h) of Schedule III hereto. (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agents of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agents shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agents on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. (d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Repayment. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay the Loans made to such Borrower as follows: 27 (i) to the U.S. Administrative Agent (x) for account of the U.S. Revolving Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans made to the Company and (y) for account of the U.S. Term Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the U.S. Term Loans made to the Company, in each case such payment to be made on the Stated Maturity; (ii) to the U.S. Administrative Agent (x) for account of the Non-Canadian Affiliates of the Canadian Revolving Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans made to the Company by such Non-Canadian Affiliates and (y) for account of the Non-Canadian Affiliate of the Canadian Term Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Term Loans made to the Company by such Non-Canadian Affiliates, in each case such payment to be made on the Stated Maturity; and (iii) to the Canadian Administrative Agent (x) for account of the Canadian Revolving Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Revolving Loans (including Bankers' Acceptance Loans) made to Hertz Canada and (y) for account of the Canadian Term Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Canadian Term Loans (including Bankers' Acceptance Loans) made to Hertz Canada, in each case such payment to be made on the Stated Maturity.

Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the relevant Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of such Class to be paid and shall notify the relevant Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings or Canadian Base Rate Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If a Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings or Canadian Base Rate Borrowings of such Class, second, to Eurodollar Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first), and, third, in the case of Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian Term Loans, to provide cover for Bankers' Acceptance Loans as specified in paragraph (j) of Schedule III hereto. Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing. (c) Amounts Repaid. Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder with respect to U.S. Revolving Loans and Canadian Revolving Loans, any amounts repaid or prepaid under this Agreement may not be reborrowed. (d) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 28 (e) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan of the applicable Class made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender of such Class hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by such Administrative Agent hereunder for account of such Lenders and each applicable Lender's share thereof. (f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent any manifest arithmetical error in such records; provided that the failure of any Lender or either Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably approved by the applicable Administrative Agent.

The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. (e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 1% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 1% plus, if such other amount (x) is payable by the Company, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, (y) is payable by Hertz Canada and is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the rate applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section and (z) is payable by Hertz Canada and is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the rate applicable to Canadian Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section. (f) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan or a Canadian Base Rate Loan prior to the Stated Maturity), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 33 (g) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to (a) the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or (b) the Canadian Prime Rate or the Canadian Base Rate at times when each such rate is based on the rate announced by the Canadian Administrative Agent as the applicable prime rate or base rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) discount computed by reference to Bankers' Acceptances shall be computed on a basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, Canadian Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate shall be determined by the applicable Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 365 or 366, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. (h) Bankers' Acceptances. The provisions of foregoing clauses (a) through (d) and clause (f) shall not be applicable to Bankers' Acceptances, which shall be subject to Schedule III hereto. SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing: (a) the U.S. Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a U.S. Revolving Eurodollar Borrowing or a U.S. Term Eurodollar Borrowing); (b) the U.S. Administrative Agent is advised by the Required U.S. Revolving Lenders or the Required U.S. Term Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a U.S. Revolving Eurodollar Borrowing or a U.S. Term Eurodollar Borrowing, as the case may be) for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their respective Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; (c) the Canadian Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period applicable to a Canadian Revolving Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Term Eurodollar Borrowing; or (d) the Canadian Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Canadian Revolving Lenders or the Required Canadian Term Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate 34 for such Interest Period applicable to a Canadian Revolving Eurodollar Borrowing or a Canadian Term Eurodollar Borrowing, as the case may be, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their respective Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the applicable Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the applicable Administrative Agent notifies such Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or the continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing (if a U.S. Revolving Borrowing or a U.S. Term Borrowing, or a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or a Canadian Term Borrowing by the Company) or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing (if a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Term Borrowing by Hertz Canada) and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if a U.S. Revolving Borrowing or a U.S. Term Borrowing, or a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Term Borrowing by the Company) or a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing (if a Canadian Revolving Borrowing or Canadian Term Borrowing by Hertz Canada). SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or Bankers' Acceptance Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, Bankers' Acceptance Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the relevant Borrower(s) will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender, as the 35 case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) Eurocurrency Liabilities. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the relevant Borrower shall pay to each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against Eurocurrency Liabilities (or so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes any Eurodollar Loans) an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the relevant Borrower through the relevant Administrative Agent) equal to the Statutory Reserve Rate for such Eurodollar Loan for the Interest Period ending on such day. (d) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrower(s) shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that neither Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. (f) Limitation on Increased Costs. Neither Borrower shall be obligated to pay to any assignee amounts under this Section 2.12 in excess of the amount such Borrower would have been obligated to pay to the assigning Lender in the absence of such assignment, unless such increased costs are imposed as a result of a Change in Law that occurs following the date of the assignment, in which case the assignee shall be entitled to payment for all such increased costs resulting from such Change in Law. SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(d) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.16(b) of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the relevant Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. 36 In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in the case of a Eurodollar Loan) for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for U.S. Dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. SECTION 2.14. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any such Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (c) Indemnification. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Administrative Agent or such Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company or Hertz Canada by a Lender, or by an Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by either Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the relevant Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a 37 receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. (e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction(s) in which the applicable Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or Hertz Canada, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Foreign Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. (f) Refunds. If a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by either Borrower or with respect to which either Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.14(f) shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to either Borrower or any other Person. SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Payments by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the applicable Administrative Agent at an account designated by such Administrative Agent to the Company, except payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars for Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars or in Canadian Dollars for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars. 38 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the respective Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees of a Class then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees of such Class then due to such parties and (ii) second, to pay principal of such Class then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties; provided, that if the Index Debt is rated less than Baa3 by Moody's or less than BBB- by S&P, any such funds to be applied to any principal of, or interest on, the Loans or other amounts owed to any Affiliated Lender shall instead be applied ratably to the remaining principal of, and interest on, the Loans of the other Lenders and other amounts owed to such Lenders in the manner set forth above. (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.06 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of any Class by a Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans of any Class by a Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; provided, that if the Index Debt is rated less than Baa3 by Moody's or less than BBB- by S&P, any payments to be applied to the principal of, and interest on, any Loans or any other amounts hereunder owed to any Affiliated Lender shall instead be applied ratably to the remaining principal of, and interest on, the Loans of the other Lenders and any other amounts owing to such Lenders. (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders (other than Affiliated Lenders) to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders (other than Affiliated Lenders) of all Classes ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against a Borrower rights of 39 set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless an Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to such Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders of the relevant Class hereunder that a Borrower will not make such payment, such Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then such Lenders severally agrees to repay to such Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to such Administrative Agent, (a) if such Loan is denominated in U.S. Dollars, the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) the rate determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (b) if such Loan is denominated in Canadian Dollars, the greater of (x) the CDOR Rate and (y) the rate determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or 2.15(e), then the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by such Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, (iii) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or (iv) any Lender fails to consent to any requested amendment hereto requiring only the consent of the Required Lenders and such amendment is approved by the Required Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, and promptly upon 40 any such event listed in clauses (i) through (iv) above, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (y) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. ARTICLE III GUARANTEE SECTION 3.01. The Guarantee. The Company hereby guarantees to each Lender and each Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by the Lenders to Hertz Canada and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agents by Hertz Canada under this Agreement, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The Company hereby further agrees that if Hertz Canada shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Company will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. SECTION 3.02. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under Section 3.01 are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the legality, value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of Hertz Canada under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Company hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above: 41 (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Company, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived; (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted; (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; (iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, an Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; (v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of either Borrower; or (vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, either Borrower or a guarantor of any of their obligations. The Company hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that either Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Hertz Canada under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. SECTION 3.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the Company under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Hertz Canada in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Lender, either Administrative Agent or any other holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Company agrees that it will indemnify each Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. SECTION 3.04. Subrogation. The Company hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Hertz Canada or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 42 SECTION 3.05. Remedies. The Company agrees that, as between the Company and the Lenders, the obligations of Hertz Canada under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article VII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article VII) for purposes of Section 3.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Hertz Canada and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Hertz Canada) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Company for purposes of Section 3.01. SECTION 3.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money. The Company hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Company in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213. SECTION 3.07. Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

The Person serving as the U.S. Administrative Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with either Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder. Neither Administrative Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Administrative Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Administrative Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, neither Administrative Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Administrative Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (except to the extent found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct). Neither Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and such Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agents.

Each Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be 53 counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Administrative Agent. Each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, either Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an affiliate of such bank and, in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent, shall also have an office in Toronto, Canada. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by either Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After an Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Arrangers and the Co-Syndication Agents shall not have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as Lenders. 54 ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 9.01.

Waivers; Amendments. (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by either Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by either Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether either Administrative Agent, any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder or any due date thereof, without the written consent of each Lender holding such affected Loan or to which such interest or fees are payable, (ii) increase the amount of any Lender's Commitment or extend the Availability Period or the period during which Revolving Loans may be made, without the written consent of each Lender having a Commitment affected thereby, (iii) postpone the Stated Maturity, without the written consent of each Lender having a Loan or Commitment whose Stated Maturity is so postponed, (iv) modify the pro rata provisions of this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, without the written consent of each Lender, and (vi) release the Company with respect to any of its obligations under Article III, without the written consent of each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender; 56 and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of either Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the consent of each Initial Lender, and only the consent of each Initial Lender, shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification of Section 2.08(b)(vi) and (ii) the consent of any Affiliated Lender shall not be required for any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement. SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of U.S. and Canadian counsel for the Administrative Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by either Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agents and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Loans. (b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hertz Canada shall not be required to indemnify any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses resulting from actions or omissions by the Company. 57 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that either Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to an Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent such Lender's ratable portion of such unpaid amount based on such Lender's aggregate Commitments of all Classes; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. To the extent that any Affiliated Lender does not pay its share of any such amount, the other Lenders shall severally pay such amount pro rata based on the aggregate Credit Exposures of such other Lenders. (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b) Assignments by Lenders. (i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans of any Class at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: (A) the Company, provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, or, if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 58 (B) the applicable Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of either Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund; provided that no consent of either Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment prior to the date of completion of the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (as notified by the Arrangers to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agents). (ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the applicable Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S. $1,000,000 unless each of the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment of any Class of Commitments or Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class of Commitments and Loans; (C) any assignment by a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender of its Canadian Revolving Commitments or Loans or Canadian Term Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, shall only be made to an assignee with a Non-Canadian Affiliate; (D) unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Administrative Agent, the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500 (for which the Borrowers shall not be obligated and provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from one or more affiliated Approved Funds); and (E) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class, shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. (iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 59 2.14 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. (c) Maintenance of Registers by Administrative Agents. Each of the Administrative Agents, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City (in the case of the U.S. Administrative Agent) and Toronto, Ontario (in the case of the Canadian Administrative Agent) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Registers" and each individually, a "Register"). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the applicable Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the relevant Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (e) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or either Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also 60 shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder. (f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender and in the case of a Participant claiming exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the applicable Lender shall provide the Company with satisfactory evidence that the participation is in registered form and shall permit the Company to review such register as reasonably needed for the Company and the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under applicable laws and regulations. (g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (h) No Assignments to the Company or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender; provided, that an Initial Lender may assign to an Affiliated Lender in connection with the provisions of Section 2.08(b)(vi). SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that an Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 3.03 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of 61 which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agents constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Administrative Agent and when the U.S. Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower against any of and all the obligations of either Borrower then due and payable under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such indebtedness may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that either Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding 62 relating to this Agreement against either Borrower or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. (c) Waiver of Venue. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. (d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES 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 AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. SECTION 9.12. Treatment of Certain Information. (a) Use of Information. The Borrowers acknowledge that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Company or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) below as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 63 (b) Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this paragraph (b), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this paragraph (b) or (ii) becomes available to either Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than either Borrower. For the purposes of this paragraph (b), "Information" means all information received from either Borrower relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agents or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from either Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this paragraph (b) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. SECTION 9.13. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of U.S. Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as the case may be (the "Specified Currency"), and payment in New York City or Toronto, Ontario, as the case may be (the "Specified Place"), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the "Second Currency"), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the applicable Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency in the foreign exchange market with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the applicable Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (in this Section 9.13 called an "Entitled Person") shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal 64 banking procedures purchase in the foreign exchange market and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency from such Borrower hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred. SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with said Act. 65 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Hertz Global Services Corporation Hertz Finance Centre plc HIRE (Bermuda) Limited Apex Processing Limited Hertz General Interest LLC SCHEDULE III Certain Provisions Relating to Bankers' Acceptances [See definition of "Schedule III" in Section 1.01] This Schedule III sets forth certain terms and conditions relating to the obligation of the Canadian Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Term Lenders to make loans to Hertz Canada pursuant to Sections 2.01(c) or (d) of this Agreement by way of Bankers' Acceptances. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in this Agreement. (a) Availability. All notices of Borrowings of Bankers' Acceptances shall be in a minimum aggregate face amount of Cdn $3,000,000 or a multiple of Cdn $1,000,000 in excess thereof delivered to the Canadian Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the day on which the Borrowing and acceptance of such Bankers' Acceptances will occur, provided that neither a Canadian Revolving Lender nor a Canadian Term Lender shall be obliged to accept any Bankers' Acceptance which: (i) is drawn on a day which is not a Business Day; (ii) matures on a day subsequent to the Termination Date; (iii) has a term other than 30, 60 or 90 days; (iv) is denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars; (v) is not in a form satisfactory to such Lender or the Canadian Administrative Agent; or (vi) in respect of which Hertz Canada has not then paid the applicable Acceptance Fee. (b) Grace. Hertz Canada hereby renounces, and shall not claim or request or require any Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender to claim, any days of grace for the payment of any Bankers' Acceptance and hereby waives presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts then due to a Lender in respect of a Bankers' Acceptance accepted by it hereunder which might exist solely by reason of such Bankers' Acceptance being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its own right. (c) Power of Attorney. To facilitate availment of Borrowings of Bankers' Acceptances, Hertz Canada hereby appoints each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf (in accordance with a request for a Borrowing of Bankers' Acceptances as notified to the Canadian Administrative Agent as provided in paragraph (a) above), in handwriting or by facsimile or mechanical signature as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of Bankers' Acceptances in the form requested by such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case Schedule III to Credit Agreement III-1 may be. In this respect, it is each Canadian Revolving Lender's and each Canadian Term Lender's responsibility to maintain an adequate supply of blank forms of Bankers' Acceptances for acceptance under this Agreement (including this Schedule III). Hertz Canada recognizes and agrees that all Bankers' Acceptances signed and/or endorsed by a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender on behalf of Hertz Canada shall bind Hertz Canada and the Company as fully and effectually as if signed in the handwriting of and duly issued by the proper signing officers of Hertz Canada. Each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender is hereby authorized (in accordance with a request for a Borrowing of Bankers' Acceptances as notified to the Canadian Administrative Agent as provided in paragraph (a) above) to draw (on behalf of Hertz Canada) such Bankers' Acceptances endorsed in blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be; provided that the aggregate amount thereof is equal to the aggregate amount of Bankers' Acceptances required to be accepted and purchased by such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be. No Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss or other claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument except the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, or its officers, employees, agents or representatives. Each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender shall maintain a record with respect to Bankers' Acceptances (i) drawn by it in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder, and (iv) cancelled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and for the statutory period provided in the various Canadian provincial or federal statutes and regulations which apply to such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be. On request by or on behalf of Hertz Canada, a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender shall cancel all Bankers' Acceptances which have been pre-signed or pre-endorsed on behalf of Hertz Canada and which are held by such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, and are not required to be drawn in accordance with the Hertz Canada's irrevocable notice. Alternatively, Hertz Canada agrees that, at the request of the Canadian Administrative Agent, Hertz Canada shall deliver to the Canadian Administrative Agent a "depository note" which complies with the requirements of the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada), and consents to the deposit of any such depository note in the book-based debt clearance system maintained by the Canadian Depository for Securities. (d) Execution of Bankers' Acceptances. Drafts of Hertz Canada to be accepted as Bankers' Acceptances hereunder shall be signed as set forth in this Schedule III. Notwithstanding that any person whose signature appears on any Bankers' Acceptance may no longer be an authorized signatory for any Canadian Revolving Lender or any Canadian Term Lender or Hertz Canada at the date of issuance of a Bankers' Acceptance, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of such issuance and any such Bankers' Acceptance so signed shall be binding on Hertz Canada. (e) Borrowing of Bankers' Acceptances. Promptly following receipt of a notice of Borrowing (or conversion or continuation, as defined in paragraph (f) below) by way of Schedule III to Credit Agreement III-2 Bankers' Acceptances, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall so advise the Canadian Revolving Lenders or the Canadian Term Lenders, as the case may be, and shall advise each Canadian Revolving Lender or each Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, of the face amount of each Bankers' Acceptance to be accepted by it and the term thereof. The aggregate face amount of Bankers' Acceptances to be accepted by a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender shall be determined by the Canadian Administrative Agent ratably in accordance with the respective Canadian Revolving Commitments of the Canadian Revolving Lenders or the respective Canadian Term Commitments of the Canadian Term Lenders, as the case may be, except that, if the face amount of the Bankers' Acceptance that would otherwise be accepted by a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender, would not be Cdn $100,000 or a multiple thereof, such face amount shall be increased or reduced by the Canadian Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to the nearest multiple of Cdn $100,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of any increase or reduction described in the immediately preceding sentence, any Canadian Revolving Lender or any Canadian Term Lender shall have aggregate Bankers' Acceptances and Loans in excess of the percentage of its Canadian Revolving Commitment to the aggregate Canadian Revolving Commitments or Canadian Term Commitment to the aggregate Canadian Term Commitments, as the case may be (any such Lender being herein called an "Over-Allotted Lender"), then at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each other Canadian Revolving Lender and each other Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, agrees, upon request of the Over-Allotted Lender, to promptly purchase from such Over-Allotted Lender participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by any such purchasing Lender, direct interests in) the Bankers' Acceptances and Loans owing to the Over-Allotted Lender (and in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and to make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Canadian Revolving Lenders and all the Canadian Term Lenders shall hold the Bankers' Acceptances and Loans ratably according to their respective Commitments. (f) Purchase of Bankers' Acceptances. Subject to paragraph (k) below, upon the acceptance of a Bankers' Acceptance by a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender, such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, each Bankers' Acceptance from Hertz Canada at a price determined by the Applicable BA Discount Rate of such Bankers' Acceptance and provide to the Canadian Administrative Agent the BA Discount Proceeds for account of Hertz Canada. The BA Discount Proceeds so received by the Canadian Administrative Agent from the Canadian Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Term Lenders shall be retained by the Canadian Administrative Agent and applied as follows: (i) remitted to Hertz Canada (in the case of the making of a Loan), (ii) to the prepayment of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans (which shall constitute a "conversion" of such Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, from Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Bankers' Acceptance Loans) or (iii) to the payment of Bankers' Acceptances maturing on such date (which shall constitute a "continuation" of Bankers' Acceptance Loans to new Bankers' Acceptance Loans of such Class), provided that in the case of any such conversion or continuation of Loans, Hertz Canada shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent for account of the respective Canadian Revolving Lenders or the respective Canadian Term Lenders, as the case may be, such additional amounts, if any, as shall be necessary to effect the prepayment in full of the respective Canadian Schedule III to Credit Agreement III-3 Prime Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid, or the Bankers' Acceptances maturing, on such date. Each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender may at any time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all Bankers' Acceptances accepted and purchased by it. On any date on which a conversion or continuation described in the preceding paragraph shall occur, the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be entitled to net all amounts payable on such date by the Canadian Administrative Agent to a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, against all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, to the Canadian Administrative Agent. Similarly, on any such date, Hertz Canada hereby authorizes each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender to net all amounts payable on such date by such Canadian Revolving Lender or such Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, to the Canadian Administrative Agent for account of Hertz Canada, against all amounts payable on such date by Hertz Canada to such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with the Canadian Administrative Agent's calculations. (g) Acceptance Fees. Hertz Canada shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, in advance, for account of each Canadian Revolving Lender and each Canadian Term Lender which accepts a Bankers' Acceptance, an Acceptance Fee in respect of the face amount of such Bankers' Acceptance, which shall be payable on the date of acceptance of such Bankers' Acceptance. (h) Prepayments. Subject to paragraph (j) below, no prepayment of any Bankers' Acceptances shall be made by Hertz Canada prior to the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance; provided, however, that the Hertz Canada may defease any Bankers' Acceptance by depositing with the Canadian Administrative Agent an amount that is sufficient to repay such Banker's Acceptance on the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance. Any interest earned on such deposit shall be for the account of Hertz Canada. (i) Conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans upon Maturity. Unless a Bankers' Acceptance is paid in full at the maturity thereof, or continued as another Loan by way of Bankers' Acceptances (it being understood that no such continuation by way of Bankers' Acceptances shall be permitted at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default), the obligation of Hertz Canada to any Canadian Revolving Lender and any Canadian Term Lender in respect of a maturing Bankers' Acceptance accepted by such Lender shall be deemed to be converted automatically into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan in an amount equal to the full face amount of the maturing Bankers' Acceptance. Such Canadian Prime Rate Loan shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan made as a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Canadian Term Loan, as the case may be, including in particular the obligation to pay interest, from and after the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance. (j) Cover. Upon the declaration of the Loans to be due and payable pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement (whether by action of the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, or automatically by reason of an actual or deemed entry of any order for relief with respect to either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act Schedule III to Credit Agreement III-4 (Canada), the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) or the Winding Up Act (Canada), Hertz Canada shall pay to the Canadian Administrative Agent, as cover in respect of the obligations of Hertz Canada to the Canadian Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Term Lenders in respect of then-outstanding Bankers' Acceptances, an amount equivalent to the amount or amounts that will be sufficient to pay all outstanding Bankers' Acceptances on the maturity thereof, and such amount shall be held by the Canadian Administrative Agent from the date of payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent until the maturity of such Bankers' Acceptances, as additional security for payment of the face amount of such outstanding Bankers' Acceptances upon maturity. (k) Circumstances Making Bankers' Acceptances Unavailable. If the Canadian Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and notified Hertz Canada, each of the Canadian Revolving Lenders and each of the Canadian Term Lenders that, by reason of circumstances arising after the Effective Date and affecting the Canadian money market (i) there is no market for Bankers' Acceptances or (ii) the demand for Bankers' Acceptances is insufficient to allow the sale or trading of the Bankers' Acceptances accepted and purchased hereunder, then the right of Hertz Canada to request that any Canadian Revolving Lender or any Canadian Term Lender accept a Bankers' Acceptance shall be suspended until the Canadian Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and the Canadian Administrative Agent so notifies Hertz Canada. (l) Indemnification in Respect of Bankers' Acceptances. In addition to any liability of Hertz Canada to any Lender or the Canadian Administrative Agent under any other provision hereof, Hertz Canada shall indemnify each Canadian Revolving Lender, each Canadian Term Lender and the Canadian Administrative Agent and hold each of them harmless against any reasonable loss or expense incurred by such Lender or the Canadian Administrative Agent as a result of (x) any failure by Hertz Canada to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder including, without limitation, any cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment in whole or in part of deposits or other funds required by any Lender to fund any Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loan as a result of the failure of Hertz Canada to make any payment or prepayment on the date required hereunder or specified by it in any notice given hereunder, (y) Hertz Canada's failure to provide for the payment to the Canadian Administrative Agent, for account of each of the Lenders, of the full principal amount of each Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loan on its maturity date or (z) the provision of funds for any outstanding Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loan, before the maturity date of such Bankers' Acceptance or BA Equivalent Loan. (m) BA Equivalent Loans. Anything in this Agreement (including this Schedule III) to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Canadian Revolving Lender or a Canadian Term Lender notifies the Canadian Administrative Agent and Hertz Canada in writing that it is unable to accept and purchase Bankers' Acceptances hereunder, such Canadian Revolving Lender or Canadian Term Lender, as the case may be, will in lieu of any Bankers' Acceptance (herein, a "Replaced Bankers' Acceptance") that it would otherwise be required to accept and purchase hereunder, make an advance (a "BA Equivalent Loan") to Hertz Canada in the face amount and for the same term as the Replaced Bankers' Acceptance. Each such BA Equivalent Loan will bear interest at a rate which would in the aggregate be equal to the Applicable BA Schedule III to Credit Agreement III-5 Discount Rate that would result if such Lender had accepted (and been paid an Acceptance Fee) and purchased (on a discounted basis at the Applicable BA Discount Rate) a Bankers' Acceptance having the same term and face amount as the Replaced Bankers' Acceptance (it being the intention of the parties that each such BA Equivalent Loan (net of Acceptance Fees (without duplication)) shall have the same economic consequences for such Lender and Hertz Canada as such Replaced Bankers' Acceptance). Interest on each BA Equivalent Loan shall be paid in advance on the date such BA Equivalent Loan is made, and the proceeds of such BA Equivalent Loan shall be made available to Hertz Canada in the same manner in which the BA Discount Proceeds of a Bankers' Acceptance would have been paid in respect of the Replaced Bankers' Acceptance. Each such Canadian Revolving Lender and each such Canadian Term Lender will provide to the Canadian Administrative Agent the BA Discount Proceeds of such BA Equivalent Loan for account of Hertz Canada for application by the Canadian Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (f) above. Each BA Equivalent Loan shall mature and be due and payable on the maturity date for the corresponding Replaced Bankers' Acceptance and, other than with respect to the specific provisions set forth in this clause (m), each BA Equivalent Loan shall be governed by the provisions of this Schedule III as if they were Bankers' Acceptances.
