Group exceeds the Investor Group Principal Amount for such Investor Group (determined after giving effect to any Advances already made by such Investor Group on such date). A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the applicable Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers all amounts paid by each such Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser on behalf of such Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser until the date such Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus 1% per annum.

HVF hereby authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Funding Agent to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded and shall be binding on HVF absent manifest error; provided, however, that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such Funding Agent and the records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Funding Agent, the Insurer and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05 Commitment Terms. The “Term” of the Commitment hereunder shall be for a period commencing on the Series 2005-4 Closing Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, or such later date as each Committed Note Purchaser and the Insurer may agree to in writing.

Following (i) the funding of any Advances by a Committed Note Purchaser or (ii) any assignment by a Conduit Investor to its related liquidity providers pursuant to the applicable liquidity purchase agreement or liquidity loan agreement with respect to the Class A Notes or to its related Committed Note Purchaser hereunder, in each case the Advances funded, directly or indirectly, with amounts received from any such provider or Committed Note Purchaser will accrue interest at the Base Rate; provided that HVF may, prior to the commencement of the Series 2005-4 Rapid Amortization Period, if HVF gives notice prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the commencement of the related Eurodollar Interest Period, elect that such Advances be made as Eurodollar Advances.

SECTION 2.07 Reduction in Commitment Amount. HVF may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser, effect a permanent reduction in the Class A Maximum Principal Amount and a corresponding reduction in the Commitment Amount and the Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount; provided that

(x) any such reduction (i) will be limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitment Amounts, although any such reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2005-4 Supplement, and (ii) must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (y) after giving effect to such reduction, the Class A Maximum Principal Amount equals or exceeds $100,000,000, unless reduced to zero. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be made ratably among the Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Maximum Investor Group Principal Amount.

SECTION 3.03 Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If a Conduit Investor, a Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and HVF, be conclusive and binding on HVF absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any such Program Support Provider or Committed Note Purchaser to make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to convert any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance, the obligation of such Person to make, continue or maintain or convert any such Advance as the Eurodollar Tranche of such

Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Person shall notify the related Funding Agent and HVF that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and such Investor Group shall immediately convert all Advances of any such Program Support Provider or Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, into the Base Rate Tranche of such Advance at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

SECTION 3.04 Deposits Unavailable. If a Conduit Investor, a Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider shall have reasonably determined that:

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Eurodollar Interest Period are not available to all Reference Lenders in the relevant market; or

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting all Reference Lenders’ relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance; or

(c) such Conduit Investor, such Committed Note Purchaser or the related Majority Program Support Providers have notified the related Funding Agent and HVF that, with respect to any interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder to the Eurodollar Tranche of any Advance the Eurodollar Interest Period for which has not then commenced, such interest rate will not adequately reflect the cost to such Conduit Investor, such Committed Note Purchaser or such Majority Program Support Providers of making, funding, agreeing to make or fund or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance for such Eurodollar Interest Period,

then, upon notice from such Conduit Investor, such Committed Note Purchaser or the related Majority Program Support Providers to such Funding Agent and HVF, the obligations of such Conduit Investor, such Committed Note Purchaser and all of the relevant Program Support Providers to make or continue any Advance as, or to convert any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance shall forthwith be suspended until such Funding Agent shall notify HVF that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 3.05 Increased or Reduced Costs, etc.. HVF agrees to reimburse each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser and any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”) for any increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital, in respect of making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Advances as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Advances into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance that arise in connection with any Changes in Law, except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and taxes which

are governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively. Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and HVF in writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such increased cost or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts shall be payable by HVF to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such Affected Person within five (5) Business Days of HVF’s receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on HVF.

SECTION 3.06 Funding Losses. In the event any Affected Person shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Advance as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Advance into, the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance) as a result of:

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment (for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of the acceleration of the maturity of the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance or the assignment thereof in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Program Support Agreement) of the principal amount of any portion of the Eurodollar Tranche on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto;

(b) any Advance not being made as an Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein;

(c) any Advance not being continued as, or converted into, an Advance under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein, or

(d) any failure of HVF to make a Decrease after giving notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2005-4 Supplement,

then, upon the written notice of any Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF, HVF shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Affected Person such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Affected Person) reimburse such Affected Person for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on HVF.

SECTION 3.07 Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment or the

Advances made by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from time to time by such Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF, HVF shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay an incremental commitment fee to such Affected Person sufficient to compensate such Affected Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF; and provided, further, that the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.07 prior to such initial payment. In determining such additional amount, such Affected Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method to other similar transactions.

SECTION 3.08 Taxes. All payments by HVF of principal of, and interest on, the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder (including fees) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, documentary, property, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding in the case of any Affected Person (x) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative minimum tax) imposed or levied on the Affected Person as a result of a connection between the Affected Person and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Affected Person having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced by, this Agreement) and (y) with respect to any Affected Person organized under the laws of the jurisdiction other than the United States (“Foreign Affected Person”), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to the Foreign Affected Person at the time the Foreign Affected Person becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Foreign Affected Person (or its assignor, if any) was already entitled, at the time of the designation of the new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from HVF with respect to withholding tax (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any Affected Person with respect to any payment received by such Affected Person or its agent from HVF, such Affected Person or its agent may pay such Taxes and HVF will promptly upon receipt of prior written notice stating the amount of such Taxes pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

If HVF fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, HVF shall indemnify the Affected Person and their agent for any

incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 3.08, a distribution hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a payment by HVF.

Upon the request of HVF, each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to HVF, prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent permissible under then current law, and on or about the first scheduled payment date in each calendar year thereafter, one or more (as HVF may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable forms, or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. HVF shall not, however, be required to pay any increased amount under this Section 3.08 to any Affected Person that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.

If the Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.08, it shall pay over such refund to HVF (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid under this Section 3.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that HVF, upon the request of the Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to HVF (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Affected Person in the event the Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This Section 3.08 shall not be construed to require the Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to HVF or any other Person.

SECTION 3.09 Indenture Carrying Charges; Survival. Any amounts payable by HVF under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 or 3.08 shall constitute Carrying Charges within the meaning of the Base Indenture and Indenture Carrying Charges within the meaning of Series 2005-4 Supplement. The agreements in Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07 and 3.08 shall survive the termination of this Amended and Restated Class A Note Purchase Agreement, the Series 2005-4 Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

SECTION 9.08 Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 9.09 Tax Characterization. Each party to this Agreement (a) acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that, for accounting

purposes and for all Federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Class A Notes will be treated as evidence of indebtedness, (b) agrees to treat the Class A Notes for all such purposes as indebtedness and (c) agrees that the provisions of the Related Documents shall be construed to further these intentions.

SECTION 9.10 No Proceedings; Limited Recourse. (a) HVF. Each of the parties hereto (other than HVF) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of any Notes issued by HVF pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, HVF, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, all as more particularly set forth in Section 13.15 of the Base Indenture and subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(a) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from HVF pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2005-4 Supplement or the Base Indenture. In the event that a Committed Note Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) or a Conduit Investor (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(a), HVF agrees that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by any such Person against HVF or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 9.10(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving HVF. The obligations of HVF under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company obligations of HVF. In addition, each of the parties hereto agrees that all fees, expenses and other costs payable hereunder by HVF shall be payable only to the extent set forth in Section 13.16 of the Base Indenture and that all other amounts owed to them by HVF shall be payable solely from amounts that become available for payment pursuant to the Base Indenture and the Series 2005-4 Supplement.

(b) The Conduit Investors. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Conduit Investors) hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Class A Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from such Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2005-4 Supplement or the Base Indenture. In the event that HVF, the Administrator, a Committed Note Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) or Hertz takes action in violation of this Section 9.10(b), such related Conduit Investor may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Conduit Investor or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that such Person has

agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 9.10(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by HVF, the Administrator, a Committed Note Purchaser or Hertz in assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving a Conduit Investor. The obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, including any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, agent, director, member, affiliate or incorporator of any Conduit Investor; provided, however, nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall relieve any of the foregoing Persons from any liability which any such Person may otherwise have for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Conduit Investors shall not, and shall not be obligated to, fund or pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement or the Class A Notes unless (i) the respective Conduit Investor has received funds which may be used to make such funding or other payment and which funds are not required to repay any of the commercial paper notes (“CP Notes”) issued by such Conduit Investor when due and (ii) after giving effect to such funding or payment, either (x) such Conduit Investor could issue CP Notes to refinance all of its outstanding CP Notes (assuming such outstanding CP Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its commercial paper program or (y) all of the CP Notes are paid in full. Any amount which a Conduit Investor does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of HVF. Upon such assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties, in each case relating to the Class A Commercial Paper and/or the Class A Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Related Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Related Document with respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable funded with commercial paper issued by such

(c) Any Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchaser with respect to such Conduit Investor may at any time sell all or any part of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Class A Notes, with the prior written consent of HVF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to a multi-seller commercial paper conduit, whose commercial paper has at least 2 of the following ratings (x) at least “A-1” from Standard & Poor’s, (y) “P1” from Moody’s and (z) “F1” from Fitch, and one or more financial institutions providing support to such multi-seller commercial paper conduit (an “Acquiring Investor Group”) pursuant to a transfer supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (the “Investor Group Supplement”), executed by such Acquiring Investor Group, the Funding Agent with respect to such Acquiring Investor Group (including the Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Investor Group), such assigning Conduit Investor and the Committed Note Purchasers with respect to such Conduit Investor, the Funding Agent with respect to such assigning Conduit Investor and Committed Note Purchasers and HVF and delivered to the Administrative Agent.
