	(3)
	those various Permitted Lessees (as defined herein) from time to time becoming Lessees hereunder pursuant to Clause 12 (Additional Lessees) hereof (each an “Additional Lessee”) as lessees (Dutch OpCo and the Additional Lessees, in their capacities as lessees, each a “Lessee” and, collectively, the “Lessees”); and

	on the Closing Date (A) the Lessor shall lease to each Lessee and (B) such Lessee shall lease from the Lessor, in each case, all Vehicles leased (as at the Closing Date) pursuant to the Dutch master lease agreement entered into on 6 August 2007 (as such agreement has been amended and restated from time to time) between Hertz Automobielen Nederland B.V. (as lessee thereunder), Stuurgroep Fleet (Netherlands) B.V. (as lessor thereunder) and BNP Paribas Trust Corporation UK Limited (as borrower security trustee) thereunder (which such agreement shall, for the purposes of this Clause 2.1, be referred to as the “Terminated Dutch Master Lease”);


		
	(ii)
	on the Closing Date, all rights and obligations of each party under the Terminated Dutch Master Lease shall be terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Global Deed of Termination and Release dated on or around the date hereof;


		
	(iii)
	from and including the Closing Date, the Vehicles leased pursuant to this Clause 2.1.1 shall be leased in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Dutch Master Lease and each party hereto shall have the rights and obligations provided for in this Agreement in connection with the Vehicles referred to in this Clause 2.1.1; and


		
	(iv)
	the Capitalized Cost of each Vehicle leased pursuant to this Clause 2.1.1 shall be equal to such Vehicle’s net book value immediately prior to such Vehicle’s Vehicle Lease Commencement Date.


		
	2.1.2
	Agreement to Lease. From time to time, subject to the terms and provisions hereof (including satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Clause 2.1.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles)), the Lessor agrees to lease to each Lessee, and each Lessee agrees to lease from the Lessor, those certain Lease Vehicles identified on Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules and Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedules produced from time to time by or on behalf of such Lessee pursuant to Clauses 2.1.4 (Lease Vehicle Purchases and Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules) and 2.2.2 (Intra-Lease Transfers), respectively.


		
	2.1.3
	Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles. The agreement of the Lessor to commence leasing any Lease Vehicle to any Lessee hereunder is subject to the following conditions precedent being satisfied at the time the Lessor orders such Lease Vehicles:


		
	(i)
	No Default. No Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date for such Lease Vehicle or would result from the leasing of such Lease Vehicle hereunder, and no Potential Lease Event of Default with respect to any event or condition specified in Clause 9.1.1 (Events of Default), Clause 9.1.5 (Events of Default) or Clause 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the Vehicle 






3









Lease Commencement Date for such Lease Vehicle or would result from the leasing of such Lease Vehicle hereunder;
		
	(ii)
	Funding. Dutch FleetCo shall have sufficient available funding to purchase such Lease Vehicle;


		
	(iii)
	Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Clause 7 (Certain Representations and Warranties) are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty contains a materiality limitation by its terms, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct) as of such date (unless any such representation or warranty by its terms makes reference to a specific date, in which case, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct for such specific date);


		
	(iv)
	Eligible Vehicle. Such Lease Vehicle is an Eligible Vehicle or in the case of any Credit Vehicle will be an Eligible Vehicle following payment of the purchase price in respect thereof;


		
	(v)
	Vehicle Purchasing Agreement. Such Lease Vehicle has been ordered in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement;


		
	(vi)
	Lease Expiration Date. The Lease Expiration Date has not occurred; and


		
	(vii)
	Payment. If such Lease Vehicle was purchased by Dutch FleetCo on non-credit terms, Dutch FleetCo has paid in full the purchase price for such Lease Vehicle and if such Lease Vehicle was purchased on credit terms by Dutch FleetCo, such Lease Vehicle has been delivered to or (as the case may be) is available for collection by Dutch FleetCo.


		
	2.1.4
	Lease Vehicle Purchases and Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedules


		
	(i)
	Each Lessee may from time to time request that the Lessor acquires vehicles for the purpose of leasing such vehicles in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Lessor may, in its absolute discretion, and provided that the conditions precedent in Clause 2.1.3 (Conditions Precedent to Lease of Lease Vehicles) above have been satisfied or waived, order the relevant vehicles in accordance with the terms of the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement. Each Lessee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lessor one or more schedules identifying the vehicles which the Lessor has acquired pursuant to a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement following a request by such Lessee, which schedules shall include the Basic Lease Vehicle Information (each such schedule, a “Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule”). Each Lessee hereby agrees that each such delivery of a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule shall be deemed hereunder to constitute a representation and warranty by such Lessee, to and in favour of the Lessor, that each condition precedent to the leasing of the Lease Vehicles identified in such Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule has been satisfied as of the date of such delivery.


		
	(ii)
	During the period from the Vehicle Lease Commencement Date in respect of a Lease Vehicle to the date that such Lease Vehicle is first identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule, the existence of a lease between the 






4









Lessor and a Lessee in respect of that Lease Vehicle shall be evidenced and determined by reference to the records of the Lessor (which such records shall be held to be correct for all purposes unless manifestly erroneous).
		
	(iii)
	The Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule for each Lease Vehicle to be leased hereunder on the Closing Date shall be substantially in the form as set out in Schedule 5 (Form of Initial Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule).


		
	2.1.5
	Lease Vehicle Acceptance or Non-conforming Lease Vehicle Rejection


		
	(i)
	Subject to paragraph (ii) below, with respect to any vehicle identified on a Lease Vehicle Acquisition Schedule and made available for lease by the Lessor to any Lessee, such Lessee shall have the right to inspect such vehicle within five days of receipt (or such shorter period as may be contemplated under the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) (the “Inspection Period”) of such vehicle and either accept or, if such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, reject such vehicle, provided that such Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted such vehicle as a Lease Vehicle unless it has notified the Lessor in writing that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle during the Inspection Period (the delivery date of such written notice, the “Rejection Date”). If such Lessee timely notifies the Lessor that such vehicle is a Non-conforming Lease Vehicle, then such Non-conforming Lease Vehicle with respect to which such Lessee has so notified the Lessor shall be a “Rejected Vehicle”.


		
	(ii)
	Notwithstanding paragraph (i) above, a Lessee will only be entitled to reject any Lease Vehicle delivered to it by or on behalf of the Lessor (A) if the Lessor is itself entitled to reject such Lease Vehicle under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement pursuant to which such Vehicle was ordered and (B) subject to the same conditions (to the extent applicable) as to rejection as may be applicable to the Lessor under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement in respect of such Vehicle.


		
	(iii)
	The Lessor shall cause the Servicer to dispose of a Rejected Vehicle described in paragraph (i) above (including by returning such Rejected Vehicle to the seller thereof in accordance with the terms of the applicable Vehicle Purchasing Agreement) in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Servicer Functions with Respect to Lease Vehicle Returns, Disposition and Invoicing).


		
	2.2
	Certain Transfers


		
	2.2.1
	Sales to Lessee. The Lessor may sell a Lease Vehicle during such Lease Vehicle’s Vehicle Term to the relevant Lessee for an amount equal to the net book value under GAAP of such Lease Vehicle.


		
	2.2.2
	Intra-Lease Transfers. From time to time, a particular Lessee (the “Transferor Lessee”) may desire to cease leasing a Lease Vehicle hereunder and another Lessee (the “Transferee Lessee”) may desire to commence leasing such Lease Vehicle hereunder. Upon delivery by such Lessees to the Lessor of written notice identifying by VIN each Lease Vehicle to be so transferred from such Transferor Lessee to such Transferee Lessee (such notice, an “Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule”), each 






5









Lease Vehicle identified in such Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule shall cease to be leased by the Transferor Lessee and shall contemporaneously commence being leased to the Transferee Lessee, provided that such transfer does not result in the breach of any prescribed limits relating to Lease Vehicles set out in the Related Documents. Each Lessee agrees that upon such a transfer of any Lease Vehicle from one Lessee to another Lessee pursuant to this Agreement, such Transferor Lessee relinquishes all rights that it has in such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Agreement. Each Intra-Lease Lessee Transfer Schedule may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by either the applicable Transferor Lessee or the applicable Transferee Lessee or on behalf of either such party by any agent or designee of such party.
		
	2.3
	[Reserved]


		
	2.4
	Return


		
	2.4.1
	Lessee Right to Return. Any Lessee may return any Lease Vehicle (other than any Lease Vehicle that has experienced a Casualty or become an Ineligible Vehicle) then leased by such Lessee at any time prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Vehicle Term for such Lease Vehicle will continue until the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date thereof, notwithstanding the prior return of such Lease Vehicle pursuant to this Clause 2.4.1 (Lessee Right to Return).


		
	2.4.2
	Lessee Obligation to Return. Each Lessee shall return each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee on or prior to such Lease Vehicle’s Maximum Lease Termination Date to the Servicer at the location for such Lease Vehicle’s return reasonably specified by the Servicer (taking into account transportation costs and expected realisable disposition proceeds).


		
	2.5
	Redesignation of Vehicles


		
	2.5.1
	Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, the Lessor shall on the date specified in Clause 2.5.4 (Timing of Redesignations) redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle, if:


		
	(i)
	a Manufacturer Event of Default is continuing with respect to the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle as of such date; or


		
	(ii)
	as of any such date occurring after the Minimum Program Term End Date with respect to such Lease Vehicle, such Lease Vehicle was returned as of such date pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturer Program with respect to such Lease Vehicle, the Manufacturer of such Lease Vehicle would not be obliged to pay a repurchase price for such Lease Vehicle, or guarantee the disposition proceeds to be received for such Vehicle, in each case in an amount at least equal to (1) the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (2) the Final Base Rent that would be payable in respect of such Lease Vehicle, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date for such Lease Vehicle, 






6









minus (3) the Excess Mileage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (4) the Excess Damage Charges with respect to such Lease Vehicle, that would be applicable as of such date, assuming that such date were the Disposition Date, minus (5) the Pre-VLCD Program Vehicle Depreciation Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date, minus (6) the Program Vehicle Depreciation Assumption True-Up Amount paid or payable with respect to such Lease Vehicle, as of such date.
		
	2.5.2
	Optional Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations. In addition to Clause 2.5.1 (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) and without limitation thereto, with respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle upon written notice to the Lessor (which written notice may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by such Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Lessee), provided that such Lessee shall not redesignate any Program Vehicle as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to this Clause 2.5.2 if, after giving effect to such redesignation, an Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency would exist, unless such redesignation would decrease the amount of such Aggregate Asset Amount Deficiency.


		
	2.5.3
	Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignations. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is a Non-Program Vehicle leased by any Lessee hereunder as of any date of determination, if such Lease Vehicle was previously designated as a Program Vehicle, then such Lessee may redesignate such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle upon written notice to the Lessor (which written notice may be delivered electronically and may be delivered directly by such Lessee or on its behalf by any agent or designee of such Lessee), provided that such Lessee may not redesignate any such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle if such Lease Vehicle would then be required to be redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Clause 2.5.1 (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) after designating such Lease Vehicle as a Program Vehicle.


		
	2.5.4
	Timing of Redesignations. With respect to any redesignation to be effected pursuant to Clause 2.5.1 (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations), such redesignation shall occur as of the first calendar day of the calendar month following the date on which the applicable event or condition described in Clause 2.5.1(ii) (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) occurs. With respect to any redesignation to be effected pursuant to Clause 2.5.2 (Optional Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) or 2.5.3 (Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignations), such redesignation shall occur as of the first calendar day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month of the date written notice was delivered by the applicable Lessee of such redesignation.


		
	2.5.5
	Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignation Payments. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is redesignated as a Non-Program Vehicle pursuant to Clause 2.5.1 (Mandatory Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations) or 






7









Clause 2.5.2 (Optional Program Vehicle to Non-Program Vehicle Redesignations), the Lessee of such Lease Vehicle as of the close of business on the date of such redesignation shall pay to the Lessor on the Payment Date following the effective date of such redesignation, as determined in accordance with Clause 2.5.4 (Timing of Redesignations), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle over the Market Value of such Lease Vehicle, in each case, as of the date of such redesignation (such excess, if any, for such Lease Vehicle, a “Redesignation to Non-Program Amount”).
		
	2.5.6
	Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignation Payments. With respect to any Lease Vehicle that is redesignated as a Program Vehicle pursuant to Clause 2.5.3 (Non-Program Vehicle to Program Vehicle Redesignations), the Lessor shall pay to the Lessee of such Lease Vehicle on the Payment Date following the effective date of such redesignation, as determined in accordance with Clause 2.5.4 (Timing of Redesignations), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle (as of the date of such redesignation and calculated assuming that such Lease Vehicle had never been designated as a Non-Program Vehicle) over the Net Book Value of such Lease Vehicle (as of the date of such redesignation but without giving effect to such Lease Vehicle’s redesignation as a Program Vehicle) (such excess, if any, for such Lease Vehicle and such redesignation, the “Redesignation to Program Amount”), provided that:


		
	(i)
	no payment shall be required to be made and no payment may be made by the Lessor pursuant to this Clause 2.5.6 to the extent that an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event exists or would be caused by such payment;


		
	(ii)
	the amount of any such payment to be made by the Lessor on any such date shall be capped at and be paid from (and the obligation of the Lessor to make such payment on such date shall be limited to) the amount of funds available to the Lessor on such date; and


		
	(iii)
	if any such payment from the Lessor is limited in amount pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (i) or (ii), the Lessor shall pay to such Lessee the funds available to the Lessor on such Payment Date and shall pay to such Lessee on each Payment Date thereafter the amount available to the Lessor until such Redesignation to Program Amount has been paid in full to such Lessee.


		
	2.6
	Hell-or-High-Water Lease


Each Lessee’s obligation to pay all rent and other sums hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be subject to any abatement, set-off (except as required under Clause 4.9.6 Tax gross-up below), counterclaim, deduction or reduction for any reason whatsoever. The obligations and liabilities of each Lessee hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged or otherwise affected (except as may be expressly provided herein) for any reason, including, without limitation:
		
	2.6.1
	any defect in the condition, merchantability, quality or fitness for use of the Lease Vehicles or any part thereof;

	2.6.7
	any claim that such Lessee has or might have against any Person including, without limitation, the Lessor;


		
	2.6.8
	any failure on the part of the Lessor or such Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement;


		
	2.6.9
	any invalidity or unenforceability or disaffirmance of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any of the other Dutch Related Documents or any provision of any thereof, in each case whether against or by such Lessee or otherwise;


		
	2.6.10
	any insurance premiums payable by such Lessee with respect to the Lease Vehicles; or


		
	2.6.11
	any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not such Lessee shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not foreseen or foreseeable.


Each Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, waives all rights now or hereafter available to it under Dutch law to any diminution or reduction of Rent or other amounts payable by such Lessee hereunder. All payments by each Lessee made hereunder shall be final (except to the extent of adjustments provided for herein), absent manifest error and, except as otherwise provided herein, no Lessee shall seek to recover any such payment or any part thereof for any reason whatsoever, absent manifest error. All covenants and agreements of each Lessee herein shall be performed at its cost, expense and risk unless expressly otherwise stated.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, as applicable, ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Potential Lease Event of Default or Lease Event of Default, as applicable, will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Dutch Related Documents.

	If any Lease Event of Default set forth in Clause 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.5, 9.1.6 or 9.1.8 (Events of Default) shall occur and be continuing, then (i) the Lessor shall have the right to serve notice on the other parties hereto, a “Master Lease Termination Notice”, and following service of such notice shall have the right (a) to terminate any Lessee’s rights of use and possession hereunder of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased hereunder by such Lessee, (b) to take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles leased by any Lessee hereunder, (c) to peaceably enter upon the premises of any Lessee or other premises where Lease Vehicles may be located and take possession of all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of any Lessee, or its successors or assigns, and to use such Lease Vehicles for any purpose whatsoever and (d) to direct delivery by the Servicer of the ascription codes (tenaamstellingscode) for all or a portion of the Lease Vehicles and (ii) the Lessees, at the request of the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee acting on the Instructions of the Required Noteholders, shall return or cause to be returned all Lease Vehicles to the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee, as the case may be.

Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to any Lessee will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of such Lessee. The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein.

	9.4.2
	During the continuance of a Liquidation Event, the Servicer shall return any or all Lease Vehicles that are Program Vehicles to the related Manufacturers in accordance with the instructions of the Lessor.

	9.4.5
	The Dutch Security Trustee may only take possession of, or exercise any of the rights or remedies specified in this Agreement with respect to, such number of Lease Vehicles necessary to generate disposition proceeds in an aggregate amount sufficient to pay each Dutch Note with respect to which a Liquidation Event is then continuing as set forth in the Issuer Facility Agreement, taking into account the receipt of proceeds of all other vehicles being disposed of that have been pledged to secure such Dutch Note.


		
	9.5
	Measure of Damages


If a Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event occurs and the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee under Clause 8.6 (Preservation of rights), this Clause 9 (Default and Remedies Therefor) or Clause 10.2 of the Dutch Facility Agreement, the amount that the Lessor shall be permitted to recover from any Lessee as payment shall be equal to:
		
	9.5.1
	all Rent for each Lease Vehicle leased by such Lessee hereunder to the extent accrued and unpaid as of the earlier of the date of the return to the Lessor of such Lease Vehicle or disposition by the Servicer of such Lease Vehicle in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and all other payments payable under this Agreement by such Lessee, accrued and unpaid as of such date; plus

	Servicer Default


Any of the following events will constitute a default of the Servicer (a “Servicer Default”) as that term is used herein:
		
	9.6.1
	the failure of the Servicer to comply with or perform any provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document that has a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Servicer, the Lessor or any Lessee, and such default continues for more than 30 consecutive days after the earlier of the date written notice is delivered by the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee to the Servicer or the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge thereof;


		
	9.6.2
	an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Servicer;


		
	9.6.3
	the failure of the Servicer to make any payment when due from it hereunder or under any of the other Dutch Related Documents or to deposit any Dutch Collections received by it into the Dutch Transaction Account when required under the Dutch Related Documents and, in each case, such failure continues for five consecutive Business Days after the earlier of (a) the date written notice is delivered by the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee to the Servicer or (b) the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge thereof, except to the extent that failure to remain in such compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Lessor; or


		
	9.6.4
	if (I) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer relating to the Dutch Collateral in any Dutch Related Document is inaccurate or incorrect or is breached or is false or misleading as of the date of the making thereof or any schedule, certificate, financial statement, report, notice or other writing relating to the Dutch Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Servicer to the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee pursuant to any Dutch Related Document is false or misleading on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified, (II) such inaccuracy, breach or falsehood has a Lease Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Lessor, and (III) the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or writing was inaccurate, incorrect, breached, false or misleading, as the case may be, 






33









shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for at least 30 consecutive days after the earlier of (x) the date of the receipt of written notice thereof from the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee to the Servicer and (y) the date an Authorized Officer of the Servicer obtains actual knowledge of such circumstance or condition.
In the event of a Servicer Default, the Lessor or the Dutch Security Trustee, in each case acting pursuant to Clause 9.23(d) (Servicer Default) of the Dutch Facility Agreement, shall have the right to replace the Servicer as servicer.
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Servicer Default, if the event or condition giving rise (directly or indirectly) to such Servicer Default ceases to be continuing (through cure, waiver or otherwise), then such Servicer Default will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose under the Dutch Related Documents.

	14.1.1
	upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event, the Dutch Security Trustee may exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against such Lessee provided for herein and such Lessee will not interpose as a defence that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;

If on the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date for any Lease Vehicle, there is Security on such Lease Vehicle, the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove such Security and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, will be paid by the Lessee of such Lease Vehicle upon demand by the Lessor.
		
	15
	Non-Liability of Lessor


As between the Lessor and each Lessee, acceptance for lease of each Lease Vehicle pursuant to Clause 2.1.5 (Lease Vehicle Acceptance or Non-conforming Lease Vehicle Rejection) shall constitute such Lessee’s acknowledgment and agreement that such Lessee has fully inspected such Lease Vehicle, that such Lease Vehicle is in good order and condition and is of the manufacture, design, specifications and capacity selected by such Lessee and that such Lessee is satisfied that the same is suitable for this use. Each Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor is not a Manufacturer or agent thereof or primarily engaged in the sale or distribution of Lease Vehicles. Each Lessee acknowledges that the Lessor makes no representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied in any such case, as to the fitness, safeness, design, merchantability, condition, quality, durability, suitability, capacity or workmanship of the Lease Vehicles in any respect or in connection with or for any purposes or uses of any Lessee and makes no representation, warranty or covenant, express or implied in any such case, that the Lease Vehicles will satisfy the requirements of any law or any contract specification, and as between the Lessor and each Lessee, such Lessee agrees to bear all such risks at its sole cost and expense. Each Lessee specifically waives all rights to make claims against the Lessor and any Lease Vehicle for breach of any warranty of any kind whatsoever, and each Lessee leases each Lease Vehicle “as is”. Upon the Lessor’s acquisition of any Lease Vehicle identified in a request from any Lessee pursuant to Clause 2.1.4, the Lessor shall in no way be liable for any direct or indirect damages or inconvenience resulting from any defect in or loss, theft, damage or destruction of any Lease Vehicle or of the cargo or contents thereof or the time consumed in recovery repairing, adjusting, servicing or replacing the same and there shall be no abatement or apportionment of rental at such time. The Lessor shall not be liable for any failure to perform any provision hereof resulting from fire or other casualty, natural disaster, riot or other civil unrest, war, terrorism, strike or other labour difficulty, governmental regulation or restriction, or any cause beyond the Lessor’s direct control. In no event shall the Lessor be liable for any inconveniences, loss of profits or any other special, incidental, or consequential damages, whatsoever or howsoever caused (including resulting from any defect in or any theft, damage, loss or failure of any Lease Vehicle).
The Lessor shall not be responsible for any liabilities (including any loss of profit) arising from any delay in the delivery of, or failure to deliver, any Lease Vehicle to any Lessee.

	16.2.2
	upon the Dutch Security Trustee giving written notice that it has determined in its sole opinion that there is no reasonable likelihood of there being any further realisations in respect of the Dutch Security (whether arising from an enforcement of the Dutch Security or otherwise) which would be available to pay unpaid amounts outstanding under the relevant Dutch Related Documents, it shall have no further claim against Dutch FleetCo in respect of any such unpaid amounts and such unpaid amounts shall be discharged in full.

Schedule 3
Required Contractual Criteria for Vehicle Purchasing Agreements
		
	1
	Provisions to be applied to all Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to be entered into by Dutch Fleetco


Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in substance satisfy the following contractual requirements:
		
	1.1
	Parties


Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Dutch FleetCo is a party may include contractual terms permitting the accession of Dutch OpCo (or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) as an additional purchaser/seller.
If any Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) may purchase/sell Vehicles in accordance with the terms of such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, the obligations of Dutch FleetCo and Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo, as applicable) under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will in all cases need to be several, and provide that Dutch FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as applicable).
Alternatively, existing Vehicle Purchasing Agreements to which Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) is a party may be amended to provide that Dutch FleetCo may accede to such Vehicle Purchasing Agreements (satisfying the Dutch Required Contractual Criteria) and that Dutch FleetCo will not have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation).
		
	1.2
	Separate obligations


Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will satisfy the following criteria:
		
	(a)
	Dutch FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (in its capacity as guarantor, purchaser of vehicles or otherwise) thereunder; and


		
	(b)
	to the extent that Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) enters into or is a party to any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreements with the same Manufacturer/Dealer (each such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement to which Dutch OpCo or other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo is a party being a “Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement”), Dutch FleetCo shall not under any circumstances have any liability for the obligations of Dutch OpCo (or such other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation, as the case may be) under such Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement.


		
	1.3
	Volume rebates etc.


A Vehicle Purchasing Agreement may provide that any bonus payment or other amount (howsoever described) payable or to be made available by a Manufacturer/Dealer as a result of Dutch FleetCo (or Dutch FleetCo and/or Dutch OpCo (and/or any other relevant Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation) under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement and/or any Dutch OpCo 




51









Specific Agreement, as applicable) meeting any minimum vehicle purchase level in that relevant year, be payable to or for the account of Dutch OpCo (rather than Dutch FleetCo). For the avoidance of doubt, Dutch FleetCo may however take the benefit of reductions applied to purchase prices applicable to vehicles as a result of any such minimum vehicle purchase levels being reached.
Notwithstanding the foregoing where a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that in the event that any minimum vehicle purchase level in the relevant year is not met:
		
	(a)
	any bonus, payment, benefit or reductions applied to purchase prices on Vehicles purchased by Dutch FleetCo or other amount (howsoever described) is recoverable by or repayable to a Manufacturer/Dealer; or


		
	(b)
	any penalty or other amount (howsoever described) is payable to such Manufacturer/Dealer,


such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement shall provide that, in each case, such amounts will only be reclaimed from, payable by or otherwise recoverable from Dutch OpCo or another Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo.
		
	1.4
	Confidentiality and public disclosure of terms of Vehicle Purchasing


Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will need to be disclosed to the Dutch Security Trustee and possibly other providers of credit or liquidity enhancement to the Transaction.
		
	1.5
	Non-petition


Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable and unconditional covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled and shall not initiate or take any step in connection with:
		
	(a)
	liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency (or any similar or analogous proceedings or circumstances) of Dutch FleetCo; or


		
	(b)
	the appointment of an insolvency officer in relation to Dutch FleetCo or any of its assets whatsoever,


provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
		
	1.6
	Limited recourse


Each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement will contain an irrevocable covenant or undertaking given by the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer that such Manufacturer/Dealer shall not be entitled to, and shall not, initiate or take any step in connection with the commencement of legal proceedings (howsoever described) to recover any amount owed to it by Dutch FleetCo under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement; this covenant will be unconditional except that the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer may commence legal proceedings to the extent that the only relief sought against Dutch FleetCo pursuant to such proceedings is the re-possession of relevant Vehicle(s) pursuant to applicable retention of title provisions provided for under the relevant Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, provided that, to the extent that a Vehicle Purchasing Agreement provides that such covenant or undertaking will terminate upon a given 




52









date, such date shall be no earlier than the date falling one year and one day after the Legal Final Payment Date.
		
	2
	Provisions to be applied to all Manufacturer Programs to be entered into by a FleetCo


Each Manufacturer Program will in substance satisfy the following additional contractual requirements:
		
	2.1
	Assignment and transfers


Each Manufacturer Program will contain terms that permit Dutch FleetCo to assign by way of security or pledge any of its rights under such agreement to the Dutch Security Trustee. Any such right to grant security to the relevant Dutch Security Trustee must be unrestricted. Unless pursuant to an Intra-Group Transfer (as defined below) by a Manufacturer (which shall not require consent from Dutch FleetCo), each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer may not assign, transfer or novate its obligations under such agreement without the prior written consent of Dutch FleetCo. Dutch FleetCo shall not provide such consent unless the Manufacturer/Dealer enters into a guarantee materially in the form set out in Schedule 4 (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Program) or accepts joint and several liability in respect of the transferred obligations substantially on the terms set out in Schedule 4 (Draft Transfer and Joint and Several Liability Language to be included in Pro Forma Manufacturer Program). For the purposes hereof, an “Intra-Group Transfer” means an assignment, transfer or novation by a Manufacturer of its obligations under a Manufacturer Program to an Affiliate of such Manufacturer which would satisfy the definition of “Investment Grade Manufacturer” upon such Affiliate becoming a Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturers /Dealers may assign their rights under Manufacturer Programs without the prior written consent of Dutch FleetCo.
		
	2.2
	Set-off


Each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Manufacturer Program or under applicable law to set off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Dutch FleetCo in relation to Vehicles ordered by (but not delivered to) Dutch FleetCo by such Manufacturer/Dealer under that Manufacturer Program, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program, provided that each Vehicle Purchasing Agreement entered into or renewed on or after the Closing Date will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives (to the extent that it is able to do so under applicable law) any right that it would otherwise have under such Vehicle Purchasing Agreement or under applicable law to set off (i) any amount of unpaid purchase price owed to such Manufacturer/Dealer by Dutch FleetCo under that Vehicle Purchasing Agreement, against (ii) amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under that Manufacturer Program or any other Vehicle Purchasing Agreement. Save and except in relation to any Manufacturer Program with Daimler AG, and/or any of their respective Affiliates or successors or any corporation into which such entities may be merged or converted or with which they may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation of such entities (“Daimler Entities”) or any Dealers or agents (or Affiliates or successors thereof) selling 




53









Vehicles manufactured or purchased from the Daimler Entities if such Manufacturer Program does not provide for waiver of set-off in accordance with this paragraph, in which case such amounts may be reclaimed from, payable by, or otherwise recoverable from Dutch FleetCo. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manufacturer/Dealers will be entitled to set off any amount owed by Dutch FleetCo in respect of turn-back related damages against any amount of Repurchase Price owed by it to Dutch FleetCo. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to procure that each Manufacturer Program will provide that the Manufacturer/Dealer expressly waives all rights to set-off (however arising) any amount:
		
	(a)
	owed to it by Dutch OpCo under such Manufacturer Program; or


		
	(b)
	owed to it by Dutch OpCo (or any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo) under any other agreement (including any Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement),


in any such case against amounts owed by the Manufacturer/Dealer to Dutch FleetCo under the relevant Manufacturer Program.
		
	2.3
	Manufacturer’s/Dealer’s obligations to be ‘unconditional’


No Manufacturer Program may contain terms that provide that the Repurchase Obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer are conditional in any respect other than, in relation to (a) a force majeure1 event or (b) compliance with applicable turn-back procedures (including any Program Minimum Term or Program Maximum Term) and/or (c) turn-back standards in relation to the condition of the relevant Vehicle. For the avoidance of doubt, no Manufacturer Program may provide that the obligations of the Manufacturer/Dealer thereunder are conditional upon:
		
	(a)
	any minimum number of Vehicles being purchased: (i) by Dutch FleetCo under such Manufacturer Program; and/or (ii) by Dutch OpCo or any other Person under such Manufacturer Program or any Dutch OpCo Specific Agreement; or


		
	(b)
	the solvency of Dutch FleetCo; or


		
	(c)
	the solvency of any other Affiliate of The Hertz Corporation other than Dutch FleetCo.


		
	2.4
	Termination provisions


To the extent that a Manufacturer/Dealer requires express termination provisions to be included in any Manufacturer Program, such Manufacturer Program may provide that a Manufacturer/Dealer is entitled (upon expiry of a predetermined notice period or otherwise) to terminate such agreement before its scheduled expiry date upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g. liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, failure to pay, late payment, partial payment, breach or serious breach of obligations, or any similar or analogous events); provided always that the Manufacturer/Dealer shall not under any circumstances have the right to terminate its obligations (subject to and in accordance with any eligibility criteria and Program Minimum Term or Program Maximum Term) to repurchase (or, if applicable to perform its guaranteed obligations thereunder) in respect of any Vehicle shipped to Dutch FleetCo or its order prior to the termination of such Manufacturer Program.
                                                  
1 For these purposes, a “force majeure event” will be constituted by any event which (a) was not foreseen by the parties, (b) is outside their control and could not have been avoided by taking due care or by compliance in all material respects with obligations under the VPA and (c) prevents performance of the obligations of one or more parties under the contract.




54









		
	2.5
	Retention of title in favour of Dutch FleetCo


The Manufacturer Program entered into with the Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers will, where credit terms are made available to the relevant Manufacturer/Dealer (in relation to the payment by it of applicable repurchase prices for Vehicles) provide that title to the relevant Vehicle will remain with Dutch FleetCo until the sale proceeds are received by Dutch FleetCo. In practice, Dutch FleetCo may return the registration documents for a Vehicle when it is turned back to such Top Two Non-Investment Grade Manufacturers.




55
