This ESCROW
AGREEMENT (this “Escrow Agreement”) is entered into as of December 21,
2005, by and among, HERTZ CAR EXCHANGE INC., a Delaware corporation (the “QI”),

agent (the “Escrow Agent”), THE HERTZ CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (“Hertz”), HERTZ VEHICLE FINANCING LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“HVF”) and HERTZ GENERAL INTEREST LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“HGI”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, HVF and HGI are single member
limited liability companies, solely owned by Hertz, and therefore disregarded
entities for purposes of the Code and the Treasury Regulations;

 

WHEREAS, each action taken by a Legal Entity
in its individual capacity pursuant to this Agreement shall, for purposes of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations, have been taken by Exchangor;

 

WHEREAS, Exchangor desires to exchange
certain Vehicles that are held for productive use in its trade or business and
that constitute Relinquished Property for other vehicles to be held for
productive use in its trade or business that are like-kind to the Relinquished
Property;

 

WHEREAS, the Relinquished Property will be
sold by Exchangor to various buyers from time to time, including Manufacturers
and purchasers at auctions;

 

WHEREAS, the Replacement Property will be
purchased by Exchangor from time to time from various Manufacturers and vehicle
dealers;

 

WHEREAS, Exchangor and the QI desire and
intend that the Exchanges accomplished by Exchangor and the QI under the Master
Exchange Agreement (the “LKE Program”) satisfy the requirements of a “like
kind exchange program” pursuant to Section 3.02 of Revenue
Procedure 2003-39;

 

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 Master Exchange Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Master
Exchange Agreement”), among the QI, Hertz, HVF and HGI, 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;

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and provisions
of the Master Exchange Agreement, it is intended that for purposes of the
Treasury Regulations, Exchangor is not determined to be in actual or constructive
receipt of proceeds (including any earnings thereon) from the disposition of
any Relinquished Property;

 

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the immediately
foregoing paragraph, it is the intent of the parties that the funds held in the
Escrow Accounts maintained by the Escrow Agent shall not be part of the QI’s
general assets, nor subject to claims by the QI’s creditors; and

 

WHEREAS, each Legal Entity will continue to
comply with its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party;

General Provisions

 

SECTION 2.01.
In General

 

(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.

 

(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
hereof. A Funds

 

3

 

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 which
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
Account and transferred to another Exchange Account or a 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 funded from such

 

4

 

Exchange Account. 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, 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 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, such amount shall be paid to the
Collection Account.

 

SECTION 3.02.
Transfer of Disbursed Funds from the 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 Disbursement Account by or on behalf of HGI that are
Relinquished Property Proceeds and/or Additional Subsidies, at HGI’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 HGI. From time to time on any Business Day, pursuant to standing
instructions and procedures established by HGI and the QI in accordance with
the terms of the Master Exchange Agreement, HGI 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 Disbursement
Account to acquire Replacement Property, to pay expenses of the type described
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 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 HGI and the QI or (2) executed by or on behalf of HGI with the
certification contained in Exhibit A stating that HGI 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 HGI 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 HGI and the QI or (ii) executed
by or on behalf of HGI with the appropriate certification and the QI has not
disapproved of the instructions (orally or in writing) within one

 

5

 

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 Disbursement Account unless such funds have been collected and
credited to such Disbursement Account.

 

SECTION 3.03.
Shortfalls in Funding. If, for any reason, the sum of the amounts
requested by an Legal Entity to be transferred from an Exchange Account to another
Exchange Account or a Disbursement Account in accordance with the Master
Exchange Agreement on any Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof
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 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
HGI are insufficient to pay the Replacement Property Acquisition Cost incurred
by HGI, HGI may transfer Additional Subsidies directly to an HGI Exchange
Account or a 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 to fund Non-LKE
Disbursements; and HGI may transfer Additional Subsidies to any
Disbursement Account to fund Non-LKE Disbursements.

 

SECTION 3.05.
The Escrow Accounts. Transfers of funds in and out of the Exchange
Accounts and the 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
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.

 

6

 

(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) a HVF Exchange Account
in any Permitted Investments or (ii) any other Exchange Account as
directed by Hertz or HGI; 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.

 

(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.

 

ARTICLE V

 

Distributions

 

SECTION 5.01.
Distribution of Escrow Funds. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow
Funds in its possession until instructed hereunder to deliver the Escrow Funds
or any specified portion thereof as follows:

 

(a)  If the Escrow Agent receives a
request pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof authorizing
release of the Escrow Funds, or a portion thereof, the Escrow Agent shall,
subject to the terms and conditions described in this Escrow Agreement,
disburse the Escrow Funds, or designated portion thereof, including any
interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds, pursuant to the
instructions set forth in such request; provided, however, that
other than as set forth in Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof, the
Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm any of the
information contained in the request.

 

7

 

(b)  If the Escrow Agent receives
written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder as related to funds that are
attributable to designated Relinquished Property and any earnings thereon for
failure to identify the Replacement Property with respect to any Relinquished
Property within the Identification Period with respect to such Relinquished Property,
signed jointly by or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and the
applicable Legal Entity, the Escrow Agent shall, (a) if such notice is
received by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, on the Business
Day such notice is received or (b) otherwise one Business Day after
receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds or
designated portion thereof and disburse the Escrow Funds (including any
interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds), or designated portion
thereof, to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity pursuant to the
instructions set forth in such notice; provided that in the case of Escrow
Funds of HVF (including any funds that are attributable to Relinquished
Property owned by HVF and any earnings thereon), such amount shall be paid to
the Collection Account.

 

(c)  If the Escrow Agent receives
written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto
authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder, as related to designated
Relinquished Property Proceeds, and any Qualified Earnings thereon, for failure
to acquire Replacement Property within the Exchange Period, signed jointly by
or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and the applicable Legal Entity,
such party shall, (a) if such notice is received by 11:00 a.m. (New
York time) on a Business Day, on the Business Day such notice is received or (b) otherwise
one Business Day after receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate
the Escrow Funds or designated portion thereof and disburse the Escrow Funds
(including any interest or other amounts earned on the Escrow Funds), or
designated portion thereof, to, or as directed by, the applicable Legal Entity
pursuant to the instructions set forth in such notice; provided that in the
case of Escrow funds of HVF, such amount shall be paid to the Collection
Account.

 

(d)  If the Escrow Agent receives a
written release notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto stating that a new escrow holder has been appointed pursuant to a new
escrow agreement and authorizing termination of the escrow hereunder, signed
jointly by or on behalf of authorized representatives of the QI and all Legal
Entities and consented to by the Trustee, such party shall release the Escrow
Funds (or any portion thereof), in the amounts and to the parties referenced in
such notice, and any documentation related to the tax deferred exchange that it
may hold.

 

(e)  If the Legal Entities terminate
this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.14 hereof, and thereafter the
Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1
hereto stating that a new escrow holder has been appointed pursuant to a new
escrow agreement following the termination of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall, on the date set forth in such notice, which in no event shall be
less than two (2) Business Days following such party’s receipt of such
notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds and disburse the Escrow
Funds (including any income, interest, or other amounts earned on the Escrow
Funds) to such new escrow holder, pursuant to the instructions set forth in
such notice. If (i) the Legal Entities

(ii) the Escrow Agent terminates this Escrow Agreement pursuant to Section 6.10
hereof, and thereafter the Escrow Agent receives written notice substantially
in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto stating that a new escrow
holder has not been appointed prior to the termination of this Escrow
Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall, on the date set forth in such notice, which
in no event shall be less than two (2) Business Days following such party’s
receipt of such notice, redeem or otherwise liquidate the Escrow Funds and
disburse the Escrow Funds (including any income, interest, or other amounts
earned on the Escrow Funds), pursuant to the instructions set forth in such
notice.

 

(f)  The Escrow Agent will only accept
instructions that have been signed by those persons authorized to do so per an
authorization in the form of Exhibit B (as such exhibit may be
amended and supplemented from time to time). The signatures contained in an
authorization in the form of Exhibit B hereto will be
considered good and valid for all purposes of this Escrow Agreement until
rescinded or modified in writing via a new authorization in the form of Exhibit B
delivered to the Escrow Agent.

 

(g)  Except as otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 3.06(a) hereof
and this Section 5.01, the Escrow Funds may not be disbursed under any
conditions except those set forth above in this Section 5.01, and the
parties agree that neither the QI nor any Legal Entity shall have the authority
to direct (and no such direction shall be effective against) the Escrow Agent
to disburse Escrow Funds. All disbursements made pursuant to this Escrow
Agreement by the Escrow Agent shall be made by wire or other Electronic Funds Transfer
unless such party, in its sole discretion, agrees to another method of
disbursement.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

Miscellaneous Provisions

 

SECTION 6.01.
Obligations of the Escrow Agent.

 

(a)  The Escrow
Agent shall invoice each Legal Entity quarterly for authorized fees and
expenses payable by such Legal Entity. Payments of reasonable fees and expenses
pursuant to an invoice shall be due thirty (30) days from the date of each
Legal Entity’s receipt of such invoice plus any required supporting
documentation.

 

(b)  The
Escrow Agent shall not have any obligation to, nor shall it incur any liability
for failing to, advance, use or risk, in any manner or for any purpose, its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder. The
provisions of this Section 6.01(b) shall survive the termination of
this Escrow Agreement.

 

(c)  Except
as expressly contemplated by this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of in any manner all or any portion of the Escrow
Funds, except pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

9

 

(d)  The
duties, responsibilities and obligations of the Escrow Agent under this Escrow
Agreement shall be limited to those expressly set forth herein, and no duties,
responsibilities or obligations shall be inferred or implied. Other than as
contemplated herein, the Escrow Agent shall not be subject to, or required to
comply with, any other agreement between the Legal Entities and the QI or to
which a Legal Entity or the QI is a party, or to comply with any direction or
instruction (other than those contained herein or delivered in accordance with
this Escrow Agreement) from a Legal Entity or the QI or an entity or entities
acting on their behalf.

 

(e)  If
at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative
process that in any way affects the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall, in
the case of Escrow Funds of HVF, promptly notify the Trustee of such occurrence,
and, in any case, be authorized to comply therewith in any manner that it or
legal counsel of its own choosing reasonably deems appropriate; and if the
Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment,
decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, it shall
not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity
even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be
subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without
legal force or effect.

 

(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. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for acting in
accordance with such a proposal on or after the date specified therein, provided
that the specified date shall be at least three (3) Business Days after
the applicable Legal Entity, the Trustee and the QI receive such party’s
request for instructions and its proposed course of action, and provided
further that, prior to so acting, the Escrow Agent has not received the
written instructions requested, including a refusal to the proposed course of
action.

 

(h)  In
the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction
or other communication received hereunder by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent
may, in its sole discretion, only after notifying the applicable Legal Entity,
the Trustee and the QI in writing, refrain from taking any action other than
retaining possession of the Escrow Funds unless the Escrow Agent receives
written instructions, signed by such Legal Entity and the QI, which eliminates
such ambiguity or uncertainty.

 

(i)  Each
Legal Entity shall pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request, for any
taxes relating to the Escrow Funds with respect to such Legal Entity incurred
in connection herewith and shall indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless
from any amounts it is obligated to pay in the way of such taxes. In addition,
all interest or other income earned under this Escrow Agreement shall be
allocated to Exchangor for federal income tax purposes, and

 

10

 

paid only as directed by the
applicable Legal Entity and the QI pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Escrow Agreement, as supplemented by the terms of the Master Exchange
Agreement, and reported by Exchangor to the IRS or any other taxing authority. 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.

 

(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) hereto,
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 hereof 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 hereof), 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, 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 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.

receives a written notice signed by or on behalf of either the QI or a Legal
Entity

 

12

 

advising the Escrow Agent that
there is a pending litigation between the QI and such Legal Entity or any other
entity claiming entitlement to the Escrow Funds, (i) the Escrow Agent may,
on notice to the QI, such Legal Entity, and in the case of litigation involving
HVF, the Trustee, deposit the Escrow Funds with the clerk of the court in which
said litigation is pending; or (ii) take such affirmative steps as it

without limitation, the deposit of the Escrow Funds with a court of competent
jurisdiction and, if no action to which the QI and such Legal Entity are
parties is then pending with respect to the Escrow Funds, the commencement of
an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne jointly and severally
by the QI and the applicable Legal Entity.

 

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 signature purporting to be by the QI or any Legal Entity
received by it relating to this Escrow Agreement.

 

(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

 

13

 

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 which 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; provided
further, however, that (1) each Legal Entity may pledge
all of its right, title and interest in this 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 Agreement, without such written consent, other than the written
consent of HVF 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 for the benefit of the HVF Secured
Parties a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and
under this Escrow Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts), and the Escrow Agent,
Hertz and HGI 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, for the benefit of the HGI Secured Parties, a security
interest in all right, title and interest in, to and under this Escrow
Agreement (but not the Escrow Accounts) and the Escrow Agent, Hertz and HVF
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 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
Agreement or any counterpart hereof to produce or account for any other
counterparts.

 

14

 

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 hereof 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 each Series of Notes
Outstanding is satisfied with respect thereto, appoint one or more new escrow
agents pursuant to an escrow agreement 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) hereof. 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

 

15

 

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,

 

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

 

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 and HGI shall execute on 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 or HGI’s rights
under this Escrow Agreement, including the

 

16

 

right to execute any and all
documents pertaining to the transfer or release of Escrow Funds and to
terminate the Escrow Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.18.
No Petitions. The Escrow Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, prior
to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all of
the Notes, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against HVF or the QI, 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, each of the
QI and HVF agrees, for the benefit of the HVF Secured Parties, 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 or HVF 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 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 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, without
limitation any Automated Clearing House transactions, which are returned for
any reason or any adjustments.

 

SECTION 6.20.
Electronic Documentation. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any
instruction required to be delivered in the form of Exhibit A may be
provided in an electronic form so long as the form of electronic
documentation used is sufficient to constitute a legal and binding instruction.

 

SECTION 6.21.
Servicer. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that
Hertz acts as Servicer of HVF and HGI pursuant to this Escrow Agreement, and,
in such capacity, as the agent of HVF and HGI, for purposes of performing
certain duties of HVF and HGI under this Escrow Agreement. The parties to this
Escrow Agreement acknowledge and agree that Hertz, as Servicer, may take
any action to be taken by HVF or HGI under this Escrow Agreement.

 

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 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 which are not required to repay any Notes Outstanding when due. Prior
to the commencement of an insolvency proceeding by or against HVF, any amount
which HVF does not pay pursuant to the

 

17

 

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.

 

SECTION 6.24.
Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all the provisions of this Agreement (other than Sections 6.07,
6.09, 6.12, 6.13, 6.22 and this Section 6.24) shall not become effective
until January 6, 2006. Upon such date, the provisions of this Agreement
shall be in full force and effect and shall be binding upon all parties hereto.

caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized
officers as of the day and year first above written.

its entirety as herein set forth.

 

3.                                       Contemporaneously

the Series 2005-3 Supplement, of even date therewith (as the same may be
further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time
in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Series 2005-3 Supplement”),

“Indenture”),

such Investor Group, to make an Advance, HVF shall (or shall cause the
Administrator to) notify the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and the Trustee

 

10

 

upon irrevocable written
notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Funding Agent (with a
copy of such notice delivered to the Committed Note Purchasers) no later than
12:00 noon New York City time on the Business Day prior to the proposed
Borrowing (which Borrowing date shall, except in the case of the Initial
Advance, be an Increase Date). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall
in each case refer to this Agreement and specify the aggregate amount of the
requested Borrowing to be made on such date. HVF shall (or shall cause the
Administrator to) ratably allocate the proposed Borrowing among the Investor
Groups’ respective Investor Group Principal Amounts. Each Funding Agent shall
promptly advise its related Conduit Investor, if any, of any notice given
pursuant to this Section and shall promptly thereafter (but in no event
later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed date of
Borrowing) notify HVF and the related Committed Note Purchaser(s) whether such
Conduit Investor has determined to make such Advance. On the date of each
Borrowing and subject to the other conditions set forth herein and in the Series 2005-3
Supplement, each Conduit Investor or its related Committed Note Purchaser(s),
as the case may be, shall make available to HVF the amount of such Advance
by wire transfer in U.S. dollars of such amount in same day funds to the Series 2005-3
Collection Account no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of
such Borrowing.

 

(b)                                 If,
by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any Borrowing, one or more
Committed Note Purchasers in an Investor Group (each, a “Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,” and
each Committed Note Purchaser in the related Investor Group other than any
Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser being referred to as a “Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser”)
fails to make its ratable portion of any Borrowing available to HVF pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) (the
aggregate amount unavailable to HVF as a result of such failure being herein
called in either case the “Borrowing Deficit”),
then the Funding Agent for such Investor Group shall, by no later than 2:30 p.m.
(New York City time) on the applicable date of such Borrowing instruct each
Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser in the same Investor Group as the
Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser to pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m.
(New York time), in immediately available funds, to the Series 2005-3
Collection Account, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such
Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser’s proportionate share (based upon the
relative Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of such Non-Defaulting Committed
Note Purchasers) of the Borrowing Deficit and (ii) such Non-Defaulting
Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed Note Purchaser Percentage of the amount by which the Maximum Investor Group
Investor Amount for such Investor Group exceeds the Investor Group Principal
Amount for such Investor Group (determined after giving effect to any Advances
already made by such Investor Group on such date). A Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser shall forthwith, upon
demand, pay to the applicable Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchasers all amounts paid by each such Non-Defaulting
Committed Note Purchaser on behalf of such Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser,
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made
by a Non-Defaulting Committed Note Purchaser until the date such Non-Defaulting
Committed Note Purchaser has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per  annum
equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus
1% per  annum.

SECTION 2.04   The Class A-1 Notes. On each
date an Advance is funded under the Class A-1 Note pursuant to the Series 2005-3
Supplement, and on each date the amount of outstanding Advances thereunder is
reduced, a duly authorized officer, employee or agent of the related Funding
Agent shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the amount
of such Advance and the amount of such reduction, as applicable. HVF hereby
authorizes each duly authorized officer, employee and agent of such Funding
Agent to make such notations on the books and records as aforesaid and every
such notation made in accordance with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so
recorded and shall be binding on HVF absent manifest error; provided, however,
that in the event of a discrepancy between the books and records of such
Funding Agent and the records maintained by the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture, such discrepancy shall be resolved by such Funding Agent, the
Insurer and the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.05   Commitment Terms. The “Term”
of the Commitment hereunder shall be for a period commencing on the Series 2005-3
Closing Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, or such later date
as each Committed Note Purchaser and the Insurer may agree to in writing.

 

SECTION 2.06   Selection of Interest Rates. Following
(i) the funding of any Advances by a Committed Note Purchaser or (ii) any
assignment by a Conduit Investor to its related liquidity providers pursuant to
the applicable liquidity purchase agreement or liquidity loan agreement with
respect to the Class A-1 Notes or to its related Committed Note Purchaser
hereunder, in each case the Advances funded, directly or indirectly, with
amounts received from any such provider or Committed Note Purchaser will accrue
interest at the Base Rate; provided that HVF may, prior to the
commencement of the Series 2005-3 Rapid Amortization Period, if HVF gives
notice prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the date which is one (1) Business
Day prior to the commencement of the related Eurodollar Interest Period, elect
that such Advances be made as Eurodollar Advances.

 

SECTION 2.07   Reduction in Commitment Amount. HVF
may, upon three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, each Funding
Agent, each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser, effect a
permanent reduction in the Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount and a
corresponding reduction in the Commitment Amount and the Maximum Investor Group
Principal Amount; provided that (x) any such reduction (i) will be
limited to the undrawn portion of the Commitment Amounts, although any such
reduction may be combined with a Voluntary Decrease effected pursuant to
and in accordance with Section 2.2(b) of the Series 2005-3
Supplement, and (ii) must be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (y)
after giving effect to such reduction, the Class A-1 Maximum Principal
Amount equals or exceeds $100,000,000, unless reduced to zero. Any reduction
made pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be made ratably among the
Investor Groups on the basis of their respective Maximum Investor Group
Principal Amount. Any reduction in the Class A-1 Maximum Principal Amount
shall result in a ratable reduction of the Class A-2 Maximum Principal
Amount, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Administrative Agent,
each Funding Agent, each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser. Any

 

12

 

reduction under the Class A
Notes shall result in a ratable reduction under the Series 2005-4 Notes,
unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Administrative Agent, each
Funding Agent, each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser.

 

ARTICLE III

the period from and including the Series 2005-3 Closing Date to but
excluding such first Payment Date).

 

(b)                                 On

the Series 2005-3 Closing Date and on each March, June, September and
December Payment Date thereafter, HVF shall pay to the Administrative

Maximum Principal Amount and (b) such Committed Note Purchaser’s Committed
Note Purchaser Percentage on the Series 2005-3 Closing Date.

 

SECTION 3.03   Eurodollar Lending Unlawful. If a
Conduit Investor, a Committed Note Purchaser or any Program Support Provider
shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to
the Administrative Agent and the related Funding Agent and HVF, be conclusive
and binding on HVF absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule or regulation makes it
unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it
is unlawful, for any such Program Support Provider or Committed Note Purchaser
to make, continue, or maintain any Advance as, or to convert any Advance into,
the Eurodollar Tranche of such Advance, the obligation of such Person to make,
continue or maintain or convert any such Advance as the Eurodollar Tranche of
such Advance shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such
Person shall notify the related Funding Agent and HVF that the circumstances
causing such suspension no longer exist, and such Investor Group shall
immediately convert all Advances of any such Program Support Provider or
Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, into the Base Rate Tranche of such
Advance at the end of the then current Eurodollar Interest Periods with respect
thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

 

14

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

SECTION 3.05   Increased or Reduced Costs, etc.. HVF
agrees to reimburse each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser and
any Program Support Provider (each, an “Affected Person”) for any
increase in the cost of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable
by any such Affected Person, including reductions in the rate of return on such
Affected Person’s capital, in respect of making, continuing or maintaining (or
of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Advances as, or of
converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Advances into, the Eurodollar
Tranche of such Advance that arise in connection with any Changes in Law,
except for such Changes in Law with respect to increased capital costs and
taxes which are governed by Sections 3.07 and 3.08, respectively.
Each such demand shall be provided to the related Funding Agent and HVF in
writing and shall state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the
additional amount required fully to compensate such Affected Person for such
increased cost or reduced amount or return. Such additional amounts shall be
payable by HVF to such Funding Agent and by such Funding Agent directly to such
Affected Person within five (5) Business Days of HVF’s receipt of such
notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on HVF.

 

15

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)                                 any
failure of HVF to make a Decrease after giving notice thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of
the Series 2005-3 Supplement,

 

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

 

SECTION 3.07   Increased Capital Costs. If any
Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or
reasonably expected to be maintained by any Affected Person or any Person
controlling such Affected Person and such Affected Person reasonably determines
(in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such
controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its commitment or the Advances
made by such Affected Person is reduced to a level below that which such
Affected Person or such controlling Person would have achieved but for the
occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case after notice from
time to time by such Affected Person to the related Funding Agent and HVF, HVF
shall pay to such Funding Agent and such Funding Agent shall pay an incremental
commitment fee to such Affected Person sufficient to compensate such Affected
Person or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A
statement of such Affected Person as to any such additional amount or amounts
(including calculations thereof in reasonable detail), in the absence of
manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on HVF; and provided, 

 

16

 

further,
that the initial payment of such increased commitment fee shall include a
payment for accrued amounts due under this Section 3.07 prior to
such initial payment. In determining such additional amount, such Affected
Person may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its
reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable so long as it applies such method
to other similar transactions.

 

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

 

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

 

If HVF
fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Affected Person or its agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, HVF shall indemnify the Affected Person and
their agent for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become
payable by any such Affected Person or its agent as a result of any such
failure. For purposes of this Section 3.08, a distribution
hereunder by the agent for the relevant Affected Person shall be deemed a
payment by HVF.

 

Upon
the request of HVF, each Foreign Affected Person shall execute and deliver to
HVF, prior to the initial due date of any payments hereunder and to the extent
permissible under then current law, and on or about the first scheduled payment
date in each calendar year thereafter, one or more (as HVF may reasonably request)
United 

 

17

 

States Internal Revenue
Service Forms W-8BEN, Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable forms,
or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents),
appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if
any, to which a payment to such Affected Person is exempt from withholding or
deduction of Taxes. HVF shall not, however, be required to pay any increased
amount under this Section 3.08 to any Affected Person that is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States if such
Affected Person fails to comply with the requirements set forth in this
paragraph.

 

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

 

SECTION 3.09   Indenture Carrying Charges; Survival.
Any amounts payable by HVF under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07
or 3.08 shall constitute Carrying Charges within the meaning of the Base
Indenture and Indenture Carrying Charges within the meaning of Series 2005-3
Supplement. The agreements in Sections 3.05, 3.06, 3.07
and 3.08 shall survive the termination of this Amended and Restated Class A-1
Note Purchase Agreement, the Series 2005-3 Supplement and the Base
Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.

 

ARTICLE IV

OTHER PAYMENT TERMS

 

SECTION 4.01   Time and Method of Payment. All
amounts payable to any Funding Agent hereunder or with respect to the Class A-1
Notes shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent or upon the order of
the applicable Funding Agent by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars not later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the date due. Any funds received after that time will be
deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. HVF’s obligations

by HVF to the related Funding Agent as provided herein whether or not such
funds are properly applied by such Funding Agent.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE FUNDING AGENTS

 

SECTION 5.01   Authorization and Action of the
Administrative Agent. Each of the Conduit Investors, the Committed Note
Purchasers and the Funding Agents hereby designates and appoints Lehman
Commercial Paper Inc. as the Administrative Agent hereunder, and hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on their
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms of this Agreement together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Conduit Investor, any Committed Note Purchaser or any Funding Agent,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities on the part of the Administrative Agent shall be read into
this Agreement or otherwise exist for the Administrative Agent. In performing
its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely
as agent for the Conduit Investors, the Committed Note Purchasers and the
Funding Agents and does not assume nor shall it be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for HVF or any of its
successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that
is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Law. The appointment and authority
of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible
payment in full of the Class A-1 Notes and all other amounts owed by HVF
hereunder to the Investor Groups (the “Aggregate Unpaids”).

 

SECTION 5.02   Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by
or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents
or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

SECTION 5.03   Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken
by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its, their
or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible
in any manner to any Conduit Investor, any Committed Note Purchaser or any
Funding Agent for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made
by HVF contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in
connection with, this Agreement for the due execution, legality, value,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any
failure of HVF to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VII. The
Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Conduit Investor,
any Committed Note Purchaser or any Funding Agent to ascertain or to inquire as
to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of HVF. The 

 

19

 

Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event, Potential
Amortization Event, Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event
of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from HVF, any
Conduit Investor, any Committed Note Purchaser or any Funding Agent.

 

SECTION 5.04   Reliance. The Administrative Agent
shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel
to HVF), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of any Conduit Investor, any Committed Note
Purchaser or any Funding Agent as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by any Conduit Investor, any Committed Note
Purchaser or any Funding Agent, provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such advice, the Administrative Agent may take
or refrain from taking any action, as the Administrative Agent shall deem
advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Investors, the Committed
Note Purchasers and the Funding Agents. The Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance
with a request of the Required Noteholders and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Conduit

amendment will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current
ratings in respect of the Class A-1 Commercial Paper.

 

SECTION 9.02   No Waiver; Remedies. Any waiver,
consent or approval given by any party hereto shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and no waiver
by a party of any breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a
waiver of any other breach or default. No failure on the part of any party
hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuation of steps to enforce the
right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in
any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

SECTION 9.03   Binding on Successors and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, HVF, the
Administrator, the Committed Note Purchasers, the Conduit Investors, the
Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that neither HVF nor the Administrator may assign its
rights or obligations hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest
herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior
written consent of each Committed Note Purchaser and each Conduit Investor; provided,
that nothing herein shall prevent HVF from assigning its rights to the Trustee
under the Base Indenture and the Series 2005-3 Supplement; provided,
further, that none of the Conduit Investors or the Committed Note
Purchasers may transfer, pledge, assign, sell participations in or
otherwise encumber its rights or obligations hereunder or in connection
herewith or any interest herein except as permitted under Section 6.03(g),
Section 9.17 and this Section 9.03. Nothing expressed
herein is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the Persons
referred to in the preceding sentence any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of this Agreement.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding
any other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Conduit Investor, or if
there is no Conduit Investor with respect to any Investor Group, the Committed
Note Purchaser with respect to such Investor Group, may at any time grant
to one or more Program Support Providers a participating interest in or lien on
such Conduit Investor’s, or if there is no Conduit Investor with respect to any
Investor Group, the related Committed Note Purchaser’s, interests in the
Advances made hereunder and such Program Support Provider, with respect to its
participating interest, shall be entitled to the benefits granted to such Conduit
Investor or Committed Note Purchaser, as applicable, under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Each
Conduit Investor may at any time assign its rights in the Class A-1

Committed Note Purchaser. Furthermore, each Conduit Investor may at any
time grant a security interest in and lien on, all or any portion of its
interests under this Agreement, its

 

30

 

Class A-1 Note and
all Related Documents to (i) its related Committed Note Purchaser, (ii) its
Funding Agent, (iii) any Program Support Provider who, at any time now or
in the future, provides program liquidity or credit enhancement, including
without limitation, an insurance policy for such Conduit Investor relating to
the Class A-1 Commercial Paper or the Class A-1 Notes, (iv) any
other Person who, at any time now or in the future, provides liquidity or
credit enhancement for the Conduit Investors, including without limitation, an
insurance policy relating to the Class A-1 Commercial Paper or the Class A-1
Notes or (v) any collateral trustee or collateral agent for any of the
foregoing; provided, however, any such security interest or lien
shall be released upon assignment of its Class A-1 Note to its related
Committed Note Purchaser. Each Committed Note Purchaser may assign its
Commitment, or all or any portion of its interest under its Class A-1
Note, this Agreement and the Related Documents to any Person with the prior
written consent of HVF and the Administrative Agent, in each case such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth
in this Agreement, each Committed Note Purchaser may at any time create a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, its
Class A-1 Note and the Related Documents in favor of any Federal Reserve
Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or any similar foreign entity.

 

SECTION 9.04    Survival

made herein and in the Class A-1 Notes delivered pursuant hereto shall

to each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser, if any, as well as
the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies providing a rating in respect of
any Class A-1 Commercial Paper) in connection with

 

(i)                                     the

thereby are consummated, and

 

31

 

(ii)                                  the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Related Documents.

 

HVF further agrees to pay, and to save the
Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Conduit Investor and each
Committed Note Purchaser harmless from all liability for (i) any breach by
HVF of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) all reasonable costs
incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Conduit Investor
or such Committed Note Purchaser in enforcing this Agreement and (iii) any

the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any Borrowing hereunder, or the
issuance of the Class A-1 Notes or any other Related Documents. HVF also
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Conduit
Investor and such Committed Note Purchaser upon demand for all reasonable

any waiver or amendment requested under or with respect to, this Agreement or
any other of the Related Documents.

 

Without limiting
the foregoing, HVF shall have no obligation to reimburse any Committed Note
Purchaser and/or Conduit Investor for any of the fees and/or expenses incurred
by such Committed Note Purchaser and/or Conduit Investor with respect to its
sale or assignment of all or any part of its respective rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the Class A-1 Notes pursuant to Section 9.17;
provided, however, that HVF shall reimburse each Committed Note
Purchaser and/or Conduit Investor who purchased Class A-1 Notes on the Series 2005-3
Closing Date for its reasonable
legal and administrative fees and expenses (excluding any fees and/or expenses
payable to the Rating Agencies) that were incurred by such Committed
Note Purchaser or Conduit Investor in connection with its assignment and/or
sale of its rights under this Agreement and such Class A-1 Notes within
180 days of the Series 2005-3 Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 Indemnification.
In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Conduit
Investors and the Committed Note Purchasers, HVF hereby indemnifies and holds
each Conduit Investor and each Committed Note Purchaser and each of their
officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”) harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action,
suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses incurred
in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is

including, without limitation, any liability in connection with the offering
and sale of the Class A-1 Notes), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by
the Indemnified Parties or any of them (whether in prosecuting or defending

(i)                                     any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of any Advance; or

 

32

 

(ii)                                  the
entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Related Document
by any of the Indemnified Parties,

 

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising
for the account of a particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the
extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason,
HVF hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. The indemnity set forth in this Section 9.05(b) shall
in no event include indemnification for any taxes (which indemnification is

performance of this Agreement and any other Related Document by any of the
Agent Indemnified Parties, except for any such Agent Indemnified Liabilities
arising for the account of a particular Agent Indemnified Party by reason of

and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for
any reason, HVF hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Agent Indemnified Liabilities which is
permissible under applicable law. The indemnity set forth in this Section 9.05(c)(i) shall
in no event include indemnification for any taxes (which indemnification is

(ii)                                  In

in connection therewith (solely to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of

 

33

 

HVF) (irrespective of
whether any such Agent Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which

liability in connection with the offering and sale of the Class A-1
Notes), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively,
the “Agent Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Agent Indemnified

SECTION 9.06   Characterization as Related Document;
Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a Related Document
for all purposes of the Base Indenture and the other Related Documents. This
Agreement, together with the Base Indenture, the Series 2005-3 Supplement,
the documents delivered pursuant to Section 7.01 and the other
Related Documents, including the exhibits and schedules thereto, contains a
final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
superseding all previous oral statements and other writings with respect
thereto.

 

SECTION 9.07   Notices. All notices, amendments,
waivers, consents and other communications provided to any party hereto under
this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed, delivered or transmitted to
such party at its address or facsimile number set forth below its signature
hereto or at such other address or facsimile number as may be designated
by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and
properly addressed with postage prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by
pre-paid courier service, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if
transmitted by facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted upon receipt
of electronic confirmation of transmission.

 

SECTION 9.08   Severability of Provisions. Any
covenant, provision, agreement or term of this Agreement that is prohibited or
is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of the prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

 

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

 

34

 

purposes and for all Federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes, the Class A-1 Notes
will be treated as evidence of indebtedness, (b) agrees to treat the Class A-1
Notes for all such purposes as indebtedness and (c) agrees that the
provisions of the Related Documents shall be construed to further these
intentions.

 

SECTION 9.10   No Proceedings; Limited Recourse. (a) 
HVF. Each of the parties hereto (other than HVF) hereby covenants and
agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment
in full of any Notes issued by HVF pursuant to the Base Indenture, it will not
institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting against, HVF,
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law, all as more particularly set forth in Section 13.15 of the
Base Indenture and subject to any retained rights set forth therein; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(a) shall constitute
a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from
HVF pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2005-3 Supplement or the Base
Indenture. In the event that a Committed Note Purchaser (solely in its capacity
as such) or a Conduit Investor (solely in its capacity as such) takes action in
violation of this Section 9.10(a), HVF agrees that it shall file an
answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest the filing of
such a petition by any such Person against HVF or the commencement of such
action and raise the defense that such Person has agreed in writing not to take
such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other
defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The
provisions of this Section 9.10(a) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall preclude
participation by a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor in assertion
or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving HVF. The obligations
of HVF under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company
obligations of HVF. In addition, each of the parties hereto agrees that all
fees, expenses and other costs payable hereunder by HVF shall be payable only
to the extent set forth in Section 13.16 of the Base Indenture and that
all other amounts owed to them by HVF shall be payable solely from amounts that
become available for payment pursuant to the Base Indenture and the Series 2005-3
Supplement.

 

(b)                                 The
Conduit Investors. Each of the parties hereto (other than the Conduit
Investors) hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, prior to the date
which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Class A-1
Commercial Paper or other debt securities or instruments issued by a Conduit
Investor, institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting
against, such Conduit Investor, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any Federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law, subject to any retained rights set forth
therein; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall
constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other
payment from such Conduit Investor pursuant to this Agreement, the Series 2005-3
Supplement or the Base Indenture. In the event that HVF, the Administrator, a
Committed Note Purchaser (solely in its capacity as such) or Hertz takes action
in violation of this Section 9.10(b), such related Conduit Investor
may file an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contest
the filing of such a petition by any such Person against such Conduit Investor
or the commencement of such action and raise 

 

35

 

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

 

Notwithstanding any
provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Conduit Investors
shall not, and shall not be obligated to, fund or pay any amount pursuant to
this Agreement or the Class A-1 Notes unless (i) the respective
Conduit Investor has received funds which may be used to make such funding
or other payment and which funds are not required to repay any of the
commercial paper notes (“CP Notes”) issued by such Conduit Investor when
due and (ii) after giving effect to such funding or payment, either (x)
such Conduit Investor could issue CP Notes to refinance all of its outstanding
CP Notes (assuming such outstanding CP Notes matured at such time) in
accordance with the program documents governing its commercial paper program or
(y) all of the CP Notes are paid in full. Any amount which a Conduit Investor
does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not
constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code)
against or obligation of such Conduit Investor for any such insufficiency.

 

SECTION 9.11   Confidentiality. Each Committed Note Purchaser and each
Conduit Investor agrees that it shall not disclose any Confidential Information
to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrator and HVF,
other than (a) to their Affiliates and their officers, directors,
employees, agents and advisors (including, without limitation, legal counsel
and accountants) and to actual or prospective assignees and participants, and
then only on a confidential basis, (b) as requested by a governmental
authority or self-regulatory organization or required by any law, rule or
regulation or judicial process of which HVF or the Administrator, as the case may be,
has knowledge; provided that each Committed Note Purchaser and each
Conduit Investor may disclose Confidential Information as requested by a
governmental authority or self-regulatory organization or required by any law, rule or
regulation or judicial process of which HVF or the Administrator, as the case may be,
does not have knowledge if such Committed Note Purchaser or such Conduit
Investor is prohibited by law, rule or regulation from disclosing such
requirement to HVF or the Administrator, as the case may be, (c) to
Program Support Providers, (d) to any Rating Agency providing a rating for
the Class A-1 Notes or the
Conduit’s debt or (e) in the course of litigation with HVF, the
Administrator, the Insurer or Hertz, such Committed Note Purchaser or such
Conduit Investor.

“Confidential Information”
means information that HVF or the Administrator furnishes to a Committed Note
Purchaser or a Conduit Investor, but does not include (i) any such

other Person to which a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor
delivered such information, (ii) any such information that was in the
possession of a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor prior to its
being furnished to such Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor by HVF
or the Administrator, or (iii) that is or becomes available to a Committed
Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor from a source other than HVF or the
Administrator, provided that, with respect to clauses (ii) and
(iii) herein, such source is not (1) known to a Committed Note
Purchaser or a Conduit Investor to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with
HVF, the Administrator, the Insurer, Hertz, as the case may be, or (2) known
to a Committed Note Purchaser or a Conduit Investor to be otherwise prohibited
from transmitting the information by a contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation.

MATTERS ARISING UNDER OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE

AGREE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED 

 

37

SECTION 9.16   Third Party Beneficiary. The Insurer and each Interest Rate Hedge Provider is an express third party

SECTION 9.17   Assignment.

its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Class A-1 Notes,
with the prior written consent of HVF, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, to one or more financial institutions (an “Acquiring Committed
Note Purchaser”) pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Assignment and
Assumption Agreement”), executed by such Acquiring Committed Note
Purchaser, such assigning Committed Note Purchaser, the Funding Agent with
respect to such Committed Note Purchaser and HVF and delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 Without
limiting the foregoing, each Conduit Investor may assign all or a portion
of the Investor Group Principal Amount with respect to such Conduit Investor
and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Related
Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee with respect to such
Conduit Investor, without the prior written consent of HVF. Upon such
assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit
Assignee shall be the owner of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such
portion thereof with respect to such Conduit Investor, (ii) the related
administrative or managing agent for such Conduit Assignee will act as the
Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding
rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Funding Agent hereunder
or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its
liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related
parties, in each case relating to the Class A-1 Commercial Paper and/or
the Class A-1 Notes, shall have the benefit of all the rights and
protections provided to such Conduit Investor herein and in the other Related
Documents (including, without limitation, any limitation on recourse against
such Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit
Assignee shall assume all of such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any,
hereunder or under the Base Indenture or under any other Related Document with
respect to such portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount and such Conduit
Investor shall be released from such obligations, (v) all distributions in
respect of the Investor Group Principal Amount or such portion thereof with
respect to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent
on behalf of such Conduit Assignee, (vi) the definition of the term “CP
Rate” with respect to the portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with
respect to such Conduit Investor, as applicable funded with commercial paper
issued by such

 

38

 

Conduit Assignee from
time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP
Rate” applicable to such Conduit Assignee on the basis of the interest rate or
discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (rather
than any other Conduit Investor), (vii) the defined terms and other terms
and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be
interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by
the Funding Agent with respect to such Conduit Assignee, the parties will
execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other
actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give
effect to the foregoing. No assignment by any Conduit Investor to a Conduit
Assignee of all or any portion of the Investor Group Principal Amount with
respect to such Conduit Investor shall in any way diminish the obligation of
the Committed Note Purchasers in the same Investor Group as such Conduit
Investor under Section 2.03 to
fund any Increase not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee.

 

(c)                                  Any

rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Class A-1 Notes, with
