WHEREAS, Exchangor desires to effectuate each Exchange in a manner that will qualify as a like-kind exchange within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) promulgated thereunder (and any applicable corresponding provisions of state tax

 











 

legislation) pursuant to one or more of the “safe harbors” described in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g) of the Treasury Regulations, and Revenue Procedure 2003-39;

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Master Exchange Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, the “Master Exchange Agreement”), among the QI, Hertz, HVF, HGI and HCS, each Legal Entity has engaged the QI to act as a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code and Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4) of the Treasury Regulations (such entity, a “Qualified Intermediary”) in order to facilitate Exchanges of Relinquished Property for Replacement Property and has directed the QI to establish, or become a joint holder of, one or more accounts to hold proceeds from the disposition of Relinquished Property and any Additional Subsidies and to disburse such proceeds and any Additional Subsidies consistent with Section 1031 of the Code;

 

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent may from time to time hold and disburse, pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement, certain funds belonging to Exchangor that are not derived from the disposition of Relinquished Property for purposes other than the acquisition of Replacement Property;

General Provisions

(a)  Appointment of Escrow Agent.  The Escrow Agent is hereby appointed by each of the Legal Entities and the QI, and agrees to act, as escrow holder of the Escrow Funds held in the Escrow Accounts pursuant to this Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

4











 

(b)  Fund Transfers.  Provided they are consistent with this Escrow Agreement and the limitations on each Legal Entity’s rights to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of any Relinquished Property Proceeds, the particular mechanisms for accomplishing the movement of Escrow Funds described in this Escrow Agreement may be set forth and memorialized in one or more written “Funds Transfer Protocols” attached hereto from time to time as Exhibit A, which shall either (1) be executed by or on behalf of both a Legal Entity and the QI or (2) follow the protocol set forth in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02.  A Funds Transfer Protocol may also consist of a compendium of previously executed documents or charts (e.g., flow charts, corporate resolutions and signature cards) which when taken together obviate the need for a single written protocol.

 

(c)  Escrow Accounts.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the funds held in any of the Escrow Accounts, or any other account or sub-account established pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement, shall only be distributed in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by the Master Exchange Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall have no equitable interest in any amounts deposited in any of the Escrow Accounts referred to herein.

 

SECTION 2.02.  Provisions Governing the Escrow Accounts.  (a)  All Escrow Funds deposited into an Escrow Account pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be delivered or disbursed either by (i) federal funds wire transfer, (ii) Electronic Funds Transfer, or (iii) cashier’s check, or other check, with notification in a form consistent with, or as described in, Exhibit A hereto.

 

(b)  The Escrow Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for any funds delivered pursuant to this Escrow Agreement until actually received in the appropriate account, in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(c)  The Escrow Accounts shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution or (ii) as a segregated trust account with a Qualified Trust Institution.  If any Escrow Account is not maintained in accordance with the previous sentence, then the Legal Entities shall within ten (10) Business Days of obtaining knowledge of such fact, in conjunction with the QI, establish a new Escrow Account that complies with such sentence and transfer into the new Escrow Account all funds from the non-complying Escrow Account.  The Escrow Accounts shall be maintained as “securities accounts” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the New York UCC) and the investments made with Escrow Funds shall be held in the Escrow Accounts.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Fund Transfers

 

SECTION 3.01.  Transfer of Collected Funds from the Exchange Accounts.  (a)  On any Business Day, pursuant to standing instructions and procedures established by each Legal Entity and the QI and in accordance with the Master Exchange Agreement, each Legal Entity may initiate proposed Electronic Funds Transfers that are subject to the QI’s approval and shall notify the QI of such initiated transfers.  The instructions with respect to the proposed Electronic Funds Transfers shall set forth the amounts to be withdrawn from an Exchange

 

5











 

Account and transferred to another Exchange Account or a Joint Disbursement Account on such day, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, and shall be either (1) executed by or on behalf of both the applicable Legal Entity and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of the applicable Legal Entity with the certification contained in Exhibit A stating that such Legal Entity has provided such instruction simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and the QI.  Such instructions to the Escrow Agent shall also include instructions regarding adjustments (e.g., calculation errors, overpayments, etc.), if any, to amounts previously transferred from or to such Exchange Account(s).  If the QI does not approve any of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfer transactions, the QI shall immediately notify the applicable Legal Entity and the Escrow Agent, and in the case of a transfer of funds from an HVF Exchange Account or an HVF Segregated Exchange Account, the Trustee, via telephone or fax (any such notice given by telephone to be confirmed in writing) of the disapproval and the reasons for such disapproval.  If the Escrow Agent receives instructions in the form of Exhibit A (i) executed by or on behalf of both the applicable Legal Entity and the QI or (ii) executed by or on behalf of the applicable Legal Entity with the appropriate certification and the QI has not disapproved of the instructions (orally or in writing) within one (1) hour of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly execute instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.01(a)).  The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the information contained in the electronic instructions received by it pursuant to this Section 3.01(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to transfer or distribute any funds from an Exchange Account unless such funds have been collected and credited to such Exchange Account.

 

(b)  After the occurrence of a Disbursement Occurrence, each Legal Entity shall direct the Escrow Agent to wire any funds held in its Escrow Account that are no longer Relinquished Property Proceeds to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity; provided that, in the case of HVF, the portion of such amount relating to HVF Vehicles shall be paid to the Collection Account and the portion of such amount relating to HVF Segregated Vehicles that constitute Series-Specific Collateral for a particular Segregated Series of Notes, unless otherwise specified in the related Segregated Series Supplement, shall be paid into the collection account or other account specified in such Segregated Series Supplement.

 

SECTION 3.02.  Transfer of Disbursed Funds from the Joint Disbursement Accounts.

 

From time to time during the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent agrees that it shall receive, hold, invest and disburse, pursuant to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Escrow Funds delivered into a Joint Disbursement Account by or on behalf of any Legal Entity that are Relinquished Property Proceeds and/or Additional Subsidies, at such Legal Entity’s discretion, as may be needed to complete the purchase of any particular Replacement Property and to be delivered to a Manufacturer or dealer for the purchase of Replacement Property, or to make any Non-LKE Disbursement by or on behalf of such Legal Entity.  From time to time on any Business Day, pursuant to standing instructions and procedures established by any Legal Entity and the QI in accordance with the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, such Legal Entity may initiate proposed Electronic Funds Transfers that are subject to the QI’s approval and shall notify the QI of such initiated transfers, in order to transfer funds from a Joint Disbursement Account to acquire Replacement Property, to pay expenses of the type described

 

6











 

in Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(7) of the Treasury Regulations not otherwise paid from funds deposited into the Joint Collection Account and to make Non-LKE Disbursements.  The instructions with respect to such proposed Electronic Funds Transfers shall set forth the amounts to be withdrawn from the applicable Joint Disbursement Account on such day, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and shall be either (1) executed by or on behalf of both the applicable Legal Entity and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of the applicable Legal Entity with the certification contained in Exhibit A stating that such Legal Entity has provided such instruction simultaneously to the Escrow Agent and the QI.  If the QI does not approve any of the proposed Electronic Funds Transfer transactions, the QI shall immediately notify the applicable Legal Entity and the Escrow Agent via telephone or fax (any such notice by telephone to be confirmed in writing) of the disapproval and the reasons for such disapproval.  If the Escrow Agent receives instructions in the form of Exhibit A (i) executed by or on behalf of a Legal Entity and the QI or (ii) executed by or on behalf of a Legal Entity with the appropriate certification and the QI has not disapproved of the instructions (orally or in writing) within one (1) hour of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions, then the Escrow Agent shall promptly execute instructions delivered to the Escrow Agent (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.02).  The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the information contained in the electronic instructions received by it pursuant to this Section 3.02.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to transfer or distribute any funds from a Joint Disbursement Account unless such funds have been collected and credited to such Joint Disbursement Account.

 

SECTION 3.03.  Shortfalls in Funding.  If, for any reason, the sum of the amounts requested by a Legal Entity to be transferred from an Exchange Account to another Exchange Account or a Joint Disbursement Account in accordance with the Master Exchange Agreement on any Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 exceeds the total amount of collected funds in such Exchange Account with respect to such Legal Entity, including any Qualified Earnings from the investment of funds with respect to such Legal Entity held in the Exchange Account pursuant to this Escrow Agreement on such day and actually credited to the Exchange Account, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Legal Entity of the amount of such shortfall, and the amounts to be transferred to such other Exchange Account or Joint Disbursement Account on such day shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall.

 

SECTION 3.04.  Additional Subsidies.  In the event that the Escrow Funds with respect to any Legal Entity are insufficient to pay the Replacement Property Acquisition Cost incurred by such Legal Entity, such Legal Entity may transfer Additional Subsidies directly to such Legal Entity’s Exchange Account or a Joint Disbursement Account in an amount sufficient for the QI to acquire the applicable Replacement Property.  Any Legal Entity may transfer Additional Subsidies to one of its Exchange Accounts or to any Joint Disbursement Account to fund Non-LKE Disbursement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Additional Subsidies relating to HVF Vehicles or HVF Segregated Vehicles constituting Series-Specific Collateral for a particular Segregated Series shall only be transferred to an HVF Exchange Account or, unless otherwise specified in a Segregated Series Supplement, an HVF Segregated Exchange Account relating to such Segregated Series, respectively, in order to fund such Non-LKE Disbursement.

 

7












 

SECTION 3.05.  The Escrow Accounts.  Transfers of funds in and out of the Exchange Accounts and the Joint Disbursement Accounts shall be governed by the terms of this Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by terms of the Master Exchange Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.06.  Limitation on Rights to Exchange Proceeds.

 

(a)  All Escrow Funds shall be held subject to the terms of this Escrow Agreement.  In particular, all Relinquished Property Proceeds, and any Qualified Earnings thereon, shall be held subject to Sections 1.1031(k)-1(g)(4)(ii) and 1.1031(k)-l(g)(6) of the Treasury Regulations, including the restrictions on Exchangor’s right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of Relinquished Property Proceeds or the earnings thereon.  Subject to the limitation that each Legal Entity shall have no right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the Relinquished Property Proceeds or the earnings thereon held by either the QI or the Escrow Agent, Relinquished Property Proceeds may be withdrawn from an Exchange Account or Joint Disbursement Account upon a Disbursement Occurrence with respect to the related Relinquished Property or such Relinquished Property Proceeds.  This Section 3.06(a) shall apply notwithstanding any inconsistent instruction given by any Legal Entity and notwithstanding any decision by any Legal Entity not to pursue a deferred exchange or to abandon the transactions contemplated by this Escrow Agreement.

 

(b)  The QI shall have only such interest in any of the Escrow Funds as is expressly provided in the Master Exchange Agreement and shall have the right to use, withdraw, transfer or otherwise act with respect to any of the Escrow Funds only as expressly provided in, and for the purposes set forth in, this Escrow Agreement or the Master Exchange Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.07.  Returns.  If at any time, for any reason, funds transferred from an Escrow Account are returned to such Escrow Account, such funds shall be transferred by the Escrow Agent upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of electronic written instructions from the applicable Legal Entity and the QI.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Investment Of Funds

 

SECTION 4.01.  Investment of the Exchange Funds.

 

(a)  From time to time during the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall invest and reinvest all (or such lesser portion as may be agreed to between the parties hereto) the funds held in (i) an HVF Exchange Account in any Permitted Investments (as defined in the Base Indenture), (ii) an HVF Segregated Exchange Account in any Permitted Investments (as defined in the Segregated Series Supplement related to such HVF Segregated Exchange Account) or (iii) any other Exchange Account as directed by Hertz, HGI or HCS; provided however that, in no event shall any Legal Entity direct that any such investment, directly or indirectly, be in any security of a Legal Entity or any of its affiliates.  Interest and other amounts, or any benefits earned in lieu of the payment of interest, earned on the Escrow Funds shall be treated as Escrow Funds and the parties hereto agree that absent a change in law, all information returns shall identify the applicable Legal Entity as the recipient.

 

8











 

(b)  If any Qualified Earnings on Relinquished Property Proceeds are held in an Exchange Account, such Qualified Earnings shall not be disbursed during the Exchange Period for the related Relinquished Property.  Any Qualified Earnings as to which the Exchange Period of the Relinquished Property has expired shall thereafter be deemed Additional Subsidies.

(f)  The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Funds held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property and shall not be required to invest any Escrow Funds held hereunder except as provided for in this Escrow Agreement.  Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

 

(g)  At any time the Escrow Agent may request an instruction in writing from any of the Legal Entities and the QI and may, at its own option, include in such request the course of action it proposes to take and the date on which it proposes to act, regarding any matter arising in connection with its duties and obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding any written directions, the Escrow Agent shall report, and as required withhold, any taxes it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of distribution.  If any earnings remain undistributed at the end of any calendar year, the Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS or such other authority such earnings as it deems appropriate or as required by any applicable law or regulation.  This Section 6.01(i) shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

 

12











 

(j)  The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it by a Legal Entity or otherwise hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof.  Subject to Section 5.01(f), the Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any instrument or signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.  All written notices when received as provided pursuant to Section 6.03 shall be valid and accepted whether signed in counterparts or one document.

 

SECTION 6.02.  Conflicting Instructions; Adverse Claims.  In the event of any disagreement between any Legal Entity and the QI resulting in conflicting instructions to (including the disapproval by the QI of a proposed Electronic Funds Transfer pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02), or adverse claims or demands by any Legal Entity and the QI upon, the Escrow Agent with respect to the release of the Escrow Funds or any part thereof, then the Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver a true copy thereof to the applicable Legal Entity, the QI and, in the case of a disagreement involving HVF, the Trustee and, in the case of a disagreement involving Hertz and Escrow Funds with respect to Sidecar Financed Vehicles, the Sidecar Administrative Agent, along with such party’s written notice in refusing to comply with the adverse claims or demands referred to above, or as an alternative, wait for clarification from both such Legal Entity and the QI before complying.  If the Escrow Agent gives written notice to the applicable Legal Entity, the QI and, if required, the Trustee or the Sidecar Administrative Agent as referred to above, then the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to and be fully protected in refusing to comply with any claims or demands on it and shall continue to hold the Escrow Funds until it receives either (i) a written notice signed by both the QI and the applicable Legal Entity directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds or (ii) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, entered in a proceeding in which the QI and the applicable Legal Entity are named as parties, directing the delivery of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement, in either of which events the Escrow Agent shall then deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with said direction.  The Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with any such claims or demands until and unless it has received a direction of the nature described in clause (i) or (ii) above.  Upon the taking by the Escrow Agent of any action in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) above the Escrow Agent shall be released of and from all liability hereunder with respect to the Escrow Funds.

 

SECTION 6.03.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands, waivers, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted hereunder will be in writing, will be deemed given when actually received and will be given by personal delivery, by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged, by means of electronic mail, by same day or overnight courier services or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the following addresses:

SECTION 6.05.  Limitation of Liabilities; Indemnification.  (a)  The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the duties of the Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial, at the request of the QI and each Legal Entity and for their convenience.  The Escrow Agent shall not be or be deemed to be the agent or trustee for the QI or any Legal Entity, and neither the QI nor any Legal Entity shall be or be deemed to be the agent or trustee of the Escrow Agent.  The QI and each Legal Entity agree that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability whatsoever for any action taken, suffered or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or the performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, and do hereby release and waive any claim they may have against the Escrow Agent, which may result from its performance of its obligations under this Escrow Agreement other than as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Subject to the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for (a) acting in accordance with or relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from any Legal Entity or the QI or any entity acting on behalf of any Legal Entity or the QI provided for herein, (b) the acts or omissions in compliance and accordance with this Escrow Agreement of its nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians, so long as such nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians are selected with due care, (c) the investment or reinvestment of any Escrow Funds held by it hereunder in good faith in accordance with the terms hereof, (d) the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument delivered to it, (e) the form of execution of any such document or instrument, (f) the apparent identity, authority, or rights of any person executing or delivering any such document or instrument, (g) the terms and conditions of any document or instrument pursuant to which the parties may act, (h) the validity or effectiveness of any of the transactions, or the treatment for tax purposes of any of the transactions contemplated herein, (i) the sale of the Relinquished Property or the selection or terms of acquisition of any Replacement Property or other property, or the state of title, condition, quality or value of any Relinquished Property, Replacement Property or other property, (j) compliance with or monitoring the requirements of Section 1031 of the Code and/or Revenue Procedure 2003-39, or (k) the treatment for tax purposes of any Escrow Funds delivered or held hereunder or the income, interest or other amounts which may be earned or accrue relative to the Escrow Funds.  Subject to Section 5.01(f), the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the authenticity of any

(b)  Hertz shall, and hereby does, indemnify, protect, save, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from and against all claims, loss, damage and costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to acts involving gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent.  The provisions of this Section 6.05(b) shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

(c)  The Escrow Agent shall not be required to give any bond or other security hereunder.  The QI and each Legal Entity hereby acknowledge that the Escrow Agent shall not have any liability for any loss, cost or damage that the QI or any Legal Entity or any other person or entity may sustain by reason of the failure to pay, default, insolvency or bankruptcy of any entity or investment in which the Escrow Funds may have been invested or deposited that prevents or delays payment of the Escrow Funds or any interest, income or other amount earned or accrued thereon as herein provided.

 

SECTION 6.06.  Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns.  This Escrow Agreement, the Master Exchange Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein contain the entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and there are no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties not expressly set forth herein.  Except as expressly otherwise allowed herein, no party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties or obligations under this Escrow Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however that, no assignment shall be effective without satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Indenture Notes Outstanding; provided further however that, (1) each Legal Entity may pledge all of its right, title and interest in this Escrow Agreement to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the Related Documents or by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1031(k)-1(g)(6) and (2) any party hereto may assign (subject to the Rating Agency Condition) this Escrow Agreement, without such written consent, other than the written consent of HVF and Hertz in the case of an assignment by the Escrow Agent, to a successor or surviving entity resulting from a merger or acquisition involving substantially all of a party’s stock or assets.  To secure the payment of the Note Obligations from time to time owing by HVF under the Indenture, HVF has pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) as it relates to the HVF Vehicles, and the Escrow Agent, Hertz, HGI and HCS hereby consent to such assignment.  To secure the payment of the Segregated Series Note Obligations from time to time owing by HVF under each Segregated Series Supplement, HVF has pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) as it relates to the HVF Segregated Vehicles that constitute Series-Specific Collateral for such Segregated Series, and the Escrow Agent, Hertz, HGI and HCS hereby consent to such assignment.  To secure HGI’s obligations under the HGI Credit Facility and all other liabilities of HGI from time to time owing by HGI to Hertz thereunder, HGI has pledged and assigned, to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow

 

16











 

Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) as it relates to HGI Vehicles and the Escrow Agent, Hertz, HVF and HCS hereby consent to such assignment.  To secure Hertz’s obligations under the Sidecar Credit Agreement, the other Sidecar Loan Documents and certain other Financing Documents with respect to which Hertz is a borrower, Hertz has pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) as it relates to Vehicles owned by Hertz and the Escrow Agent, HCS, HVF and HGI hereby consent to such assignment. To secure HCS’s obligations under the Sidecar Credit Agreement, the other Sidecar Loan Documents and certain other Financing Documents with respect to which HCS is a borrower, HCS has pledged and assigned to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) as it relates to Vehicles owned by HCS and the Escrow Agent, Hertz, HVF and HGI hereby consent to such assignment.

 

SECTION 6.07.  Counterparts.  This Escrow Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts when taken together will constitute but one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Escrow Agreement by any party hereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof have been executed and delivered by each other party hereto.  It will not be necessary in making proof of this Escrow Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any other counterparts.

 

SECTION 6.08.  No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing contained in this Escrow Agreement is intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Escrow Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.09.  Authorization.  Each Person signing this Escrow Agreement and any accompanying exhibits each represent and warrant that such Person has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Escrow Agreement and any accompanying exhibits on behalf of the party for whom they are so executing and delivering the same.

 

SECTION 6.10.  Termination.  (a)  Upon delivery of all of the Escrow Funds and all interest earned thereon as required or permitted hereunder and following written notice to each of the Escrow Agent and the Trustee of termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged from all obligations and liabilities hereunder with respect thereto and this Escrow Agreement shall thereupon be deemed terminated.

 

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to terminate this Escrow Agreement, as it relates to such party, at any time (the “Termination Date”) prior to complete disbursement of all of the Escrow Funds upon not less than ninety (90) Business Days’ notice to the QI, each Legal Entity and the Trustee; provided however that, if a notice to disburse the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 5.01 is received by the Escrow Agent and such disbursement is to occur prior to the Termination Date, then the Escrow Agent will comply with the terms of this Escrow Agreement and make such disbursement pursuant hereto.  If the Escrow Agent gives notice setting a Termination Date, the Legal Entities and the QI may, at their option and provided that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to

 

17












 

each Series of Indenture Notes Outstanding is satisfied with respect thereto, appoint one or more new escrow agents pursuant to an escrow agreement or escrow agreements substantially in the form of this Escrow Agreement and, provided, the Escrow Agent shall receive an instruction substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Funds in accordance with such instruction.

 

SECTION 6.11.  No Discretion.  The Escrow Agent may act through agents or attorneys-in-fact, by and under a power of attorney duly executed by the Escrow Agent in carrying out any of the powers and duties pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, subject to clause (b) of Section 6.05(a).  The Escrow Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion hereunder.

 

SECTION 6.12.  GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE.  THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.  VENUE SHALL BE IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 6.13.  JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  EACH LEGAL ENTITY, THE QI AND THE ESCROW AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM THERETO.

 

SECTION 6.14.  Certain Bankruptcy Events.  If the Escrow Agent:

 

(a)  suffers the entry against it of a judgment, decree or order for relief by a court of competent jurisdiction or any regulatory agency in an involuntary proceeding commenced under any applicable insolvency, receivership or other similar law of any jurisdiction now or hereafter in effect, or has any such proceeding commenced against it which remains undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days, or

 

(b)  commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect; or applies for or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law; or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or fails generally to pay (or admits in writing its inability to pay) its debts as such debts become due; or takes corporate or other action to authorize any of the foregoing,

 

then the Legal Entities may, immediately upon notice to the QI, the Trustee, the Sidecar Administrative Agent and the Escrow Agent (together with a copy of the replacement escrow agreement referred to below), and subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Outstanding Series of Indenture Notes, terminate all or a portion of this Escrow Agreement, appoint, or cause the QI to appoint, a successor escrow agent with respect to all or a portion of this Escrow Agreement and enter into a replacement escrow agreement with such

 

18











 

successor on terms substantially the same in all material respects as the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.15.  Force Majeure.  No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement if such inability to perform is caused by, circumstances reasonably beyond a party’s control, such as natural disasters, fire, floods, third party strikes, failure of public utilities or telecommunications infrastructure or any other causes reasonably beyond its control.

 

SECTION 6.16.  Treasury Regulations Disclosure Requirements.  Each Legal Entity represents that it does not intend to treat any transaction contemplated by this Escrow Agreement as a reportable transaction within the meaning of Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations, and without limiting the foregoing, will fully comply with the filing and reporting requirements applicable to like-kind exchanges, including any requirement in applicable regulations and forms.  In the event that any Legal Entity determines to take any action inconsistent with such intention, such Legal Entity will promptly notify the QI, and each Legal Entity acknowledges that in this event, any other party to this Escrow Agreement may treat the transaction as subject to Section 301.6112-1 of the Treasury Regulations, and maintain the investor list and other records required by such Treasury Regulation.

 

SECTION 6.17.  Power of Attorney.  Each of HVF, HGI and HCS shall execute on the date hereof (or, with respect to any HVF Segregated Vehicles, HVF may execute after the date hereof) a power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, pursuant to which Hertz may exercise any of HVF’s, HGI’s or HCS’s rights under this Escrow Agreement, including the right to execute any and all documents pertaining to the transfer or release of Escrow Funds and to terminate all or a portion of the Escrow Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.18.  No Petitions.  The Escrow Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of the Indenture Notes, it will not institute against, or join with, encourage or cooperate with any other Person in instituting against HVF, the QI or Hertz, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.  In the event that the Escrow Agent takes action in violation of this Section 6.18, (i) each of the QI and HVF agrees, for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties, and (ii) Hertz agrees, for the benefit of the parties to the Sidecar Loan Documents, that it shall file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of such a petition by the Escrow Agent against the QI, HVF or Hertz or the commencement of such action and raise the defense that the Escrow Agent 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 6.18 shall survive the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.19.  Waiver of Setoff.  The Escrow Agent agrees that all monies, checks, instruments and other items of payment deposited into the Escrow Accounts shall not be

 

19











 

subject to deduction, setoff, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any Person, except that such party may setoff (i) any checks credited to the Escrow Accounts and thereafter returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds and (ii) items, including any Automated Clearing House transactions, that are returned for any reason or any adjustments.

 

SECTION 6.20.  Electronic Execution.  This Escrow Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any joinder, schedule, annex, exhibit or other attachment hereto) may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic means (e.g., a “pdf” or “tiff”).  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on each party hereto.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Escrow Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any joinder, schedule, annex, exhibit or other attachment hereto) or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 6.21.  Servicer Capacities.  The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz acts as Collateral Servicer pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, as servicer pursuant to each Lease and each Segregated Series Lease, and, in such capacities, as the agent of HVF, HGI and/or HCS, for purposes of performing certain duties of HVF, HGI and/or HCS under this Agreement.  The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz, in such capacities, may take any action to be taken by HVF, HGI and/or HCS under this Agreement, subject to the assignment of HVF’s, HGI’s and/or HCS’s interest hereunder to the Collateral Agent; provided that, in the case that HVF’s, HGI’s and/or HCS’s interest hereunder is assigned to the Collateral Agent, HVF, HGI and/or HCS will provide the Escrow Agent with written notice within ten (10) days of such assignment.

 

SECTION 6.22.  Amendments.  This Escrow Agreement may be amended and supplemented only by a written instrument duly executed by all the parties hereto upon satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Indenture Notes Outstanding.

 

SECTION 6.23.  Availability of Funds for Payments.  Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary, HVF shall not, and shall not be obligated to pay any amount pursuant to this Escrow Agreement unless HVF has funds that are not required to repay any Series of Notes Indenture Outstanding when due.  Prior to the commencement of an insolvency proceeding by or against HVF, any amount that HVF does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of HVF for any such insufficiency unless and until HVF satisfies the provisions of such preceding sentence.
