Exhibit 10.4


 


RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT


 


This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date set forth on the signature page hereof, is entered into
by and between Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the individual whose name
is set forth on the director section of the signature page hereof (the “Director”).


 


1.             Grant
of Restricted Stock Units. The Company hereby evidences and confirms its grant to the Director, effective as of the Grant Date, of
the number of restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) set forth on the signature page hereof. This
Agreement is subordinate to, and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder are subject to, the terms and
conditions of the Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which are incorporated
by reference herein. If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
This Agreement shall also be subject to the terms of any applicable deferral election made by the Director with respect to the Restricted
Stock Units. Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.


 


2.             Vesting
of Restricted Stock Units.


 


(a)           Vesting.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, the Restriction Period applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, if at
all, on the first business day immediately preceding the date of the Company’s annual stockholder meeting in 2022 (the “Vesting
Date”), subject to the Director’s continued services on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
through such Vesting Date.


 


(b)           Termination
of Services.


 


(i)            Termination
other than for Cause. If the Director ceases to serve on the Board of the Company due to any reason other than a termination for Cause
(as defined in the Plan) prior to the Vesting Date, the Restriction Period shall lapse immediately upon such cessation with respect to
all Restricted Stock Units. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as provided in Section 3.


 


(ii)            Termination
for Cause. If the Director ceases to serve on the Board of the Company due to a termination for Cause prior to the Vesting Date, all
outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall immediately be forfeited and canceled effective as of the date of the Director’s cessation.


 


(c)           Change
in Control.


 


(i)            Subject
to Section 2(c)(ii), in the event of a Change in Control, the Restriction Period applicable to all outstanding Restricted Stock Units
shall lapse immediately prior to such Change in Control and all such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as set forth in Section 3.


 


(ii)            Notwithstanding
Section 2(c)(i), no cancellation, termination, lapse of Restriction Period or settlement or other payment shall occur with respect
to the Restricted Stock Units if the Committee (as constituted immediately prior to the Change in Control) so determines in its sole discretion,
prior to the Change in Control that the Restricted Stock Units shall be honored or assumed or new rights substituted therefor by an Alternative
Award, in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 of the Plan.

3.             Settlement
of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to other applicable provisions of this Agreement (and any applicable deferral election made by
the Director with respect to the Restricted Stock Units), not later than 30 days after the lapse of the Restriction Period (or, as applicable,
not later than 30 days after the applicable settlement payment date set forth in a deferral election) with respect to any Restricted Stock
Units, the Company shall issue to the Director one share of Common Stock underlying each Restricted Stock Unit as to which the Restriction
Period has lapsed, or, if the Committee so determines in its sole discretion, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such
shares of Common Stock or any combination of shares of Common Stock and cash having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such shares
of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Restriction Period applicable to any Restricted Stock Units which constitutes
 “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code lapses as a result of a Change in Control that does not qualify
as a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of
the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall not settle such Restricted
Stock Units until the 30th day following the earlier of (i) the Director’s cessation of Board service and (ii) the originally
scheduled settlement payment date of such Restricted Stock Units. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding two sentences are subject
to Section 7(g) of this Agreement and Section 11.9 of the Plan. Upon issuance, such shares of Common Stock may be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated in compliance with all applicable law, this Agreement and any other
agreement to which such shares are subject. The Director’s settlement rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be no greater than
the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.


 


4.             Forfeiture.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if, during the Restriction Period, the Director engages in Wrongful
Conduct (as defined herein), then any Restricted Stock Units for which the Restriction Period has not then lapsed (or for which settlement
has not yet occurred) shall automatically terminate and be canceled effective as of the date on which the Director first engaged in such
Wrongful Conduct. If the Director engages in Wrongful Conduct, the Director shall pay to the Company in cash any Restriction-Based Financial
Gain the Director realized from the lapse of the Restriction Period applicable to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock Units with
respect to which the Restriction Period lapsed within the Wrongful Conduct Period (as defined herein). By entering into this Agreement,
the Director hereby consents to and authorizes the Company and the Subsidiaries to deduct from any amounts payable by such entities to
the Director any amounts the Director owes to the Company under this Section 4 to the extent permitted by law. This right of set-off
is in addition to any other remedies the Company may have against the Director for the Director’s Wrongful Conduct. The Director’s
obligations under this Section 4 shall be cumulative (but not duplicative) of any similar obligations the Director has under the
Plan, this Agreement, any Company policy, or any clawback plan or policy (including, without limitation, the Company’s Standards
of Business Conduct), or any other agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, an individual director
agreement or restrictive covenant agreement.


 


For purposes of this Agreement,
and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, “Wrongful Conduct” means the breach or violation by the Director
of the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct, Corporate Governance Guidelines or Directors’ Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics (each as amended from time to time, and including any successor or replacement policy or standard).


 


For purposes of this Agreement,
and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, “Wrongful Conduct Period” means the twelve-month period ending on
the date of the Participant’s Wrongful Conduct (or such other period as determined by the Committee).


 


5.             Issuance
of Shares.


 


(a)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Director may not sell or transfer the shares of Common Stock acquired upon settlement of the
Restricted Stock Units except in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.


 






    2


     


    

 


(b)           The
shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be registered in the Director’s name, or, if applicable,
in the names of the Director’s heirs or estate (or in the name of such other persons or entities provided by the Director and approved
by the Committee or Board). In the Company’s discretion, such shares may be issued either in certificated form or in uncertificated,
book entry form. The certificate or book entry account shall bear such restrictive legends or restrictions as the Company, in its sole
discretion, shall require. If delivered in certificated form, the Company may deliver a share certificate to the Director or to the Director’s
designated broker on the Director’s behalf. If the Director is deceased (or if Disabled and if necessary) at the time that a delivery
of share certificates is to be made, the certificates shall be delivered to the Director’s estate, executor, administrator, legally
authorized guardian or personal representative (as applicable).


 


(c)           To
the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the grant of the Restricted Stock Units and issuance of shares of Common Stock
upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to and in compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state
or foreign law with respect to such securities. No shares of Common Stock may be issued hereunder if the issuance of such shares would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of
any stock exchange or market system upon which the Common Stock may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance of
any shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such shares
as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, as a condition
to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company may require the Director to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary
or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto
as may be requested by the Company.


 


(d)           The
Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.


 


(e)           To
the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock
provided for under this Agreement for so long as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to satisfy the following: (1) the
completion or amendment of any registration of such shares or satisfaction of any exemption from registration under any securities law,
rule, or regulation; (2) compliance with any requests for representations; and (3) receipt of proof satisfactory to
the Company that a person seeking such shares on the Director’s behalf upon the Director’s Disability (if necessary), or upon
the Director’s estate’s behalf after the death of the Director, is appropriately authorized.


 


6.             Director’s
Rights with Respect to the Restricted Stock Units.


 


(a)           Restrictions
on Transferability. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereby may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated
or hypothecated other than with the consent of the Company or by will or by the laws of descent and distribution to the estate of the
Director upon the Director’s death (or to such other persons or entities as provided under Section 11.1 of the Plan and approved
by the Committee or Board); provided that any such permitted transferee shall acknowledge and agree in writing, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such permitted transferee were the Director.
Any attempt by the Director, directly or indirectly, to offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Restricted
Stock Units or any interest therein or any rights relating thereto without complying with the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement,
including this Section 6(a), shall be void and of no effect. The Company shall not be required to recognize on its books any action
taken in contravention of these restrictions.


 


(b)           No
Rights as Stockholder. The Director shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common
Stock corresponding to the Restricted Stock Units granted hereby unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to the Director in
respect thereof.

(a)           Binding
Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective

the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect
of any agreement or any provision contained herein.

Company or the Director without the prior written consent of the other party.


 


(c)           No
Right to Continued Service on the Board. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Director any right to continue

Director. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Director the right to receive any future Awards under the Plan. For
purposes of determining the status of Director’s position on the Board of the “Company” under this Agreement, such term

U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax withholding or other similar charges or fees that may arise in connection with the grant,
vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A

on Rights; No Right to Future Grants. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby,
the Director acknowledges: (1) that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any
time; (2) that the Award does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards; (3) that
participation in the Plan is voluntary; and (4) that the future value of the Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted
with certainty.


 


(j)            Data
Privacy. The Director authorizes the Company or any Affiliate of the Company that has or lawfully obtains personal data relating to
the Director to divulge or transfer such personal data to the Company or to a third party, in each case in any jurisdiction, if and to
the extent appropriate in connection with this Agreement or the administration of the Plan.


 


(k)           Consent
to Electronic Delivery. By entering into this Agreement and accepting the Restricted Stock Units evidenced hereby, the Director hereby

Stock Units granted hereunder shall be subject to any claw back policy or compensation recovery policy or such other similar policy of
the Company as are in effect from time to time with respect to the Director.


 


(m)          Company
Rights. The existence of the Restricted Stock Units does not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders
to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure
or its business, including that of its Affiliates, or any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any issue of bonds,
debentures, preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the Common Stock or the rights
thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s

(n)           Severability.
If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of this Agreement is in violation of any statute or public policy, then
only the portions of this Agreement which violate such statute or public policy shall be stricken, and all portions of this Agreement
which do not violate any statute or public policy shall continue in full force and effect. Further, it is the parties’ intent that
any court order striking any portion of this Agreement should modify the terms as narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible
to the intentions of the parties’ under this Agreement.


 


(o)           Further
Assurances. The Director agrees to use his or her reasonable and diligent best efforts to proceed promptly with the transactions contemplated
herein, to fulfill the conditions precedent for the Director’s benefit or to cause the same to be fulfilled and to execute such
